COMMISSION DECISION
of 3 February 2006
amending Decision 2004/370/EC authorising methods for grading pig carcases in the United Kingdom
(notified under document number C(2006) 213)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2006/99/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 2004/370/EC (2), the use of three methods for grading pig carcases in Northern Ireland has been authorised.
(2) Due to technical adaptations, the United Kingdom has requested the Commission to authorise in Northern Ireland the use of new formulae for two apparata used for grading pig carcases and to authorise two new methods for grading pig carcases, and has therefore submitted the elements required in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (3). As the apparatus ‘Fat-O-Meater’ has never been used in Northern Ireland, it should be deleted from the scope of this Decision concerning Northern Ireland.
(3) The evaluation of this request has revealed that the conditions for using the new formulae and the new methods are fulfilled.
(4) Decision 2004/370/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
Decision 2004/370/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 2 is replaced by the following:
— the apparatus termed “Intrascope (Optical Probe)” and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of Annex II,
— the apparatus termed “Mark II Ulster Probe” and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 2 of Annex II,
— the apparatus termed “Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP 4)” and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 3 of Annex II,
— the apparatus termed “Fully automatic ultrasonic carcass grading (Autofom)” and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are in Part 4 of Annex II.’
2. Annex II is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/556/EEC of 25 September 1989 on animal health conditions governing intra Community trade in and importation from third countries of embryos of domestic animals of the bovine species (1), as last amended by Directive 93/52/EEC (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas Directive 89/556/EEC excluded embryos derived by certain techniques from the scope of the said Directive;
Whereas, by Directive 93/52/EEC, the scope of Directive 89/556/EEC has been enlarged to include all bovine embryos except those derived by transfer of nuclei; whereas embryos which are to be subjected to techniques which involve the penetration of the zona pellucida and those derived by in vitro fertilization may be introduced into trade or be imported as long as they meet the requirements of Directive 89/556/EEC, with certain additional safeguards;
Whereas Commission Decision 94/113/EC (3) amends the Annexes to the Directive to lay down the necessary additional safeguards;
Whereas it is necessary to amend Commission Decision 92/471/EEC of 2 September 1992 concerning animal health conditions and veterinary certification for importation of bovine embryos from third countries (4) to take into account the additional safeguards;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The Annexes to Decision 92/471/EEC are hereby replaced by the Annexes to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from the thirtieth day following its notification.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 9 October 2013
on a measure taken by Finland according to Article 11 of Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to a screw conveyor for carrots and kohlrabi
(notified under document C(2013) 6392)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2013/494/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending Directive 95/16/EC (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the procedure set out in Article 11(2) of Directive 2006/42/EC, the Finnish authorities notified to the Commission and to the other Member States a measure relating to a screw conveyor for carrots and kohlrabi of the type TSF 350 manufactured by Cabinplant A/S, Foresbjergvej 9, 5683 Haarby, Denmark. The machinery bore the CE marking and was accompanied by an EC Declaration of conformity.
(2) The measure was motivated by the non-conformity of the machinery with the following essential health and safety requirements of Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC:
— 1.3.7 — Risks related to moving parts
— 1.3.8 — Choice of protection against risks arising from moving parts
— 1.4.2.2 — Interlocking moveable guards
— 2.1.1 (d) and (e) — Foodstuffs machinery — cleaning.
(3) The measure followed an accident that occurred during cleaning of the machinery when the operator reached into the drainpipe of the conveyor to free blocked vegetables while the screw was running, sustaining injuries to his fingers. The flap preventing access to the drain pipe was a fixed guard. Since it had to be opened several times per day for cleaning, the Finnish authorities considered that an interlocking moveable guard should be fitted. Furthermore, the Finnish authorities noted that the machine could not be effectively cleaned while at a standstill as specified in the instructions.
(4) In accordance with Article 11(3) of Directive 2006/42/EC, the Commission asked the manufacturer Cabinplant A/S to present his observations on the measure. The manufacturer replied that the type TSF 350 screw conveyor had been designed and manufactured by a supplier and purchased by Cabinplant A/S for fitting into an integrated system. He stated if future screw conveyors of this type were purchased he would ensure that they complied with the requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC.
(5) Examination of the evidence provided by the Finnish authorities and of the observations communicated by the manufacturer confirms that the screw conveyor of the type TSF 350 not fitted with an interlocking moveable guard to prevent access to the drainpipe while the screw is running fails to comply with the essential health and safety requirements of Annex I to Directive 2006/42/EC and that this non-conformity gives rise to a serious risk of injury to operators,
The measure taken by the Finnish authorities prohibiting the placing on the market of screw conveyors of the type TSF 350 not fitted with an interlocking moveable guard to prevent access to the drainpipe while the screw is running is justified.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1883/94 of 27 July 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 establishing an additional levy in the milk and milk products sector
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the situation in Italy, Greece and Spain respectively has been the subject of special examination; whereas as regards those three Member States the conclusions from the examination permit extending the increase in the guaranteed total quantity laid down in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 (3), but solely for the period 1994/95 in the case of Italy and Greece, and to consolidate it for Spain; whereas there will be a re-examination before the beginning of the period 1995/96 as to whether all the conditions to which the definitive increase in the total quantity for Italy and Greece is subject have been fully satisfied;
Whereas the checks carried out in Italy, covered all milk producers and thus permit, in the light of full knowledge, extending, for the period 1994/95, the increase in the guaranteed total quantity granted for the period 1993/94; whereas, however, part of that increase should be reserved, namely 347 701 tonnes, for allocating, as need arises, reference quantities to producers when certain conditions are satisfied;
Whereas, as far as required, the components upon which the 'deliveries' part of the guaranteed total quantity for Greece, Spain and Italy is calculated for the period 1994/95 should be specified; whereas, for each of these three Member States, to the amounts specified hereafter must be added the quantities from the former Community reserve; whereas, in the case of Greece, the total quantity fixed for the period 1992/93 is increased by 100 000 tonnes; whereas, in the case of Spain, the figure of 4 550 000 tonnes represents the basic total quantity increased, on the one hand, by 500 000 tonnes and, on the other, by 150 000 tonnes following a transfer from direct sales to deliveries; whereas, in the case of Italy, the total quantity fixed for the period 1992/93 is increased by 900 000 tonnes;
Whereas it has been agreed that application of the arrangements to control milk production must not jeopardize the restructuring of agricultural holdings in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic; whereas, therefore, following reunification the arrangements have to that end been relaxed for a single period; whereas in spite of successive extensions of this flexibility up to the period 1993/94, it appears that the restructuring in question has not so far been completed; whereas an extension of the derogating measures should be accepted for a limited period of time in order to achieve restructuring of the said holdings,
Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 is hereby replaced by the following:
'2. The following total quantities shall be fixed without prejudice to possible review in the light of the general market situation and particular conditions existing in certain Member States:
">(1)"> ID="1"> 3 066 337> ID="2">244 094"> ID="1"> 4 454 459> ID="2">889"> ID="1">27 764 778> ID="2">100 038"> ID="1">625 985> ID="2">4 528"> ID="1">5 200 000> ID="2">366 950"> ID="1">23 637 283> ID="2">598 515"> ID="1">5 233 805> ID="2">11 959"> ID="1">9 212 190> ID="2">717 870"> ID="1">268 098> ID="2">951"> ID="1">10 983 195> ID="2">91 497"> ID="1">1 804 881> ID="2">67 580"> ID="1">14 247 283> ID="2">342 764"">
The increase in the total quantities for Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom shall be granted in order to permit the allocation of additional reference quantities to:
- producers who, by virtue of the second indent of Article 3a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 (*), had been excluded from allocation of a special reference quantity,
- producers situated in the mountain areas as defined in Article 3 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC (**) or to the producers referred to in Article 5 of this Regulation or to all producers.
The increase in the total quantitiy for Portugal shall be granted as a matter of priority to contribute towards satisfying the requests for additional reference quantities from producers whose production during the 1990 reference year was substantially affected by exceptional events which took place during the period 1988 to 1990 or to the producers referred to in Article 5.
The increase in total quantities of deliveries granted for the period 1993/94 for Greece, Spain and Italy shall be established for Spain and shall be extended for the period 1994/95 for Greece and Italy. The total quantity of deliveries for Italy includes a reserve of 347 701 tonnes for allocation, in so far as necessary and in agreement with the Commission, of reference quantities to producers who have brought legal proceedings against a national administration following withdrawal of their reference quantities and obtained judgment in their favour. Before the period 1995/96 the Commission will submit to the Council a report accompanied by proposals on whether the increase for Greece and the amount of the increase for Italy must be maintained in 1995/96 and for the subsequent years.

The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92:
'However, in order to complete the restructuring of the said holdings, the first subparagraph shall continue to apply until the end of the period 1997/98.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 April 1994.

32008D0886 | 2008/886/EC: Commission Decision of 12 November 2008 on a temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 to take account of the special situation of Kenya with regard to tuna loins (notified under document number C(2008) 6644)
| 27.11.2008 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 317/16
COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 November 2008
on a temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 to take account of the special situation of Kenya with regard to tuna loins
(notified under document number C(2008) 6644)
(2008/886/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 of 20 December 2007 applying the arrangements for products originating in certain states which are part of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements (1), and in particular Article 36(4) of Annex II thereto,
Whereas:
(1) On 5 August 2008 Kenya requested, in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007, a derogation from the rules of origin set out in that Annex for a period of one year. On 19 August 2008 Kenya submitted additional information relating to its request. The request covers a total quantity of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins of HS heading 1604. The request is made because catches and supply of originating raw tuna have decreased in the Indian Ocean.
(2) According to the information provided by Kenya catches of raw originating tuna are unusually low even compared to the normal seasonal variations and have led to a decrease in production of tuna loins. This abnormal situation makes it impossible for Kenya to comply with the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 during a certain period.
(3) In order to ensure that Kenya may continue its exports to the European Community, following the expiration of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement (2), a new derogation should be granted.
(4) To ensure smooth transition from the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement to the Agreement establishing a framework for an Economic Partnership Agreement between the East African Community partner States, on the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, on the other part (EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement), a new derogation should be granted with retroactive effect from 1 January 2008.
(5) A temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 would not cause serious injury to an established Community industry taking into account the imports concerned, provided that certain conditions relating to quantities, surveillance and duration are respected.
(6) It is therefore justified to grant a temporary derogation under Article 36(1)(a) of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007.
(7) Kenya will benefit from an automatic derogation from the rules of origin for tuna loins of HS heading 1604 pursuant to Article 41(8) of the Origin Protocol attached to the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, when that Agreement enters into force or is provisionally applied.
(8) In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 the rules of origin set out in Annex II to that Regulation and the derogations from them are to be superseded by the rules of the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, the entry into force or provisional application of which is expected to take place in 2008. The derogation should therefore apply until 31 December 2008, as requested by Kenya, unless the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement enters into force or is applied provisionally before that date.
(9) In accordance with Article 41(8) of the Origin Protocol attached to the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, the automatic derogation from the rules of origin is limited to an annual quota of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins for the countries having initialled the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ruanda, Burundi). Kenya is the only country in the region that currently exports tuna loins to the Community. It is therefore appropriate to grant to Kenya a derogation under Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 in respect of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins, quantity which does not exceed the full annual quota granted to the EAC region under the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement.
(10) Accordingly a derogation should be granted to Kenya in respect of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins for a period of one year.
(11) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (3) lays down rules relating to the management of tariff quotas. In order to ensure efficient management carried out in close cooperation between the authorities of Kenya, the customs authorities of the Member States and the Commission, those rules should apply mutatis mutandis to the quantities imported under the derogation granted by this Decision.
(12) In order to allow efficient monitoring of the operation of the derogation, the authorities of Kenya should communicate regularly to the Commission details of the EUR.1 movement certificates issued.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
By way of derogation from Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 and in accordance with Article 36(1)(a) of that Annex, tuna loins of HS Heading 1604 manufactured from non-originating materials shall be regarded as originating in Kenya in accordance with the terms set out in Articles 2 to 6 of this Decision.
The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to the products and the quantities set out in the Annex which are declared for free circulation into the Community from Kenya during the period from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008.
The quantities set out in the Annex to this Decision shall be managed in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
The customs authorities of Kenya shall take the necessary measures to carry out quantitative checks on exports of the products referred to in Article 1.
All the EUR.1 movement certificates they issue in relation to those products shall bear a reference to this Decision.
The competent authorities of Kenya shall forward to the Commission a quarterly statement of the quantities in respect of which EUR.1 movement certificates have been issued pursuant to this Decision and the serial numbers of those certificates.
Box 7 of EUR.1 movement certificates issued under this Decision shall contain the following:
‘Derogation — Decision 2008/886/EC’.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2008.
It shall apply until the rules of origin set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 are superseded by those annexed to any agreement with Kenya when that agreement is either provisionally applied, or enters into force, whichever is the earlier, but in any event this Decision shall not apply after 31 December 2008.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2134/95 of 7 September 1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2814/90 and laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 as regards the transfer of premium rights between members of the same producer groups and increasing the premium rights of certain sheepmeat and goatmeat producers in Italy and Greece
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1265/95 (2), and in particular Article 5 (1) and (9) and Article 5a (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3901/89 of 12 December 1989 defining lambs fattened as heavy carcases (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1266/95 (4),
Whereas the last subparagraph of Article 5a (4) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 stipulates that the provision whereby, in the case of a transfer of premium rights without transfer of the holding, a part of the premium rights is to be surrendered without compensation to the national reserve does not apply to members of the same producer groups meeting certain conditions to be determined by the Commission in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 30; whereas, in order to prevent irregularities, minimum conditions should consequently be laid down, the Member States being authorized, where applicable, to lay down additional conditions; whereas the penalties applying where such conditions are not met should also be specified;
Whereas the third and following subparagraphs of Article 5b (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 provide for the establishment of special reserves with a ceiling of 600 000 rights for both Italy and Greece to permit them to grant additional rights to certain producers; whereas that Regulation lays down criteria for identifying such producers and for determining their additional rights and provides for a verification procedure by the Commission; whereas to that end provision should be made for a single centralized register to be kept by each Member State so that the producers concerned can be located and all the details needed for such verification are available; whereas, in addition, the penultimate subparagraph of the abovementioned Article 5b (1) provides that such verification must ensure that the additional rights will be allocated in such a way that such producers do not ultimately obtain more rights than would have been granted them had the situation which led to the creation of additional rights not occurred; whereas to that end provision should be made for the contribution referred to in the first subparagraph of abovementioned Article 5b (1) not to be included in the national reserve so that producers other than those referred to above may not benefit under the measure provided for in this Regulation;
Whereas the newly created additional rights constitute compensation by virtue of the fact that in Italy and Greece, 1991, which was the reference marketing year for determining rights, coincided with the switchover between two different premium systems resulting in under-estimation of rights; whereas the producers receiving such additional rights should not therefore be penalized by applying to them the condition laid down in Article 6 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1847/95 (6);
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3901/89 provides for the introduction of a simplified procedure for verification of fattening as heavy carcases with regard to lambs belonging to a limited number of meat breeds reared in geographically well-defined areas; whereas to that end Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2814/90 of 28 September 1990 laying down detailed rules for the definition of lambs fattened as heavy carcases (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 277/94 (8), should be amended to simplify the administrative verification procedure laid down while maintaining the obligation on producers to show they have actually fattened as heavy carcases all lambs born on their holdings; whereas that obligation may be deemed to have been fulfilled where a check shows that the lambs present as a percentage of the ewes is above a minimum threshold determined by reference to normal breeding practice for the breeds and areas concerned;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheepmeat and Goatmeat,
1. To be eligible under the fourth subparagraph of Article 5a (4) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89, members concerned of the same producer group must meet the following conditions:
- they must continue to be members of the group for at least the three marketing years following that in respect of which the transfer of rights is notified by the producer surrendering his rights;
- they must have the status of producers as defined in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 (1) and fulfil the obligations laid down in Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2385/91 (2) throughout the abovementioned period.
However, the above conditions shall not apply where, during the said period, the producer concerned transfers to another member of the group his remaining rights with his holding.
Furthermore, the Member States shall lay down additional conditions where necessary to avoid jeopardizing the application of the third subparagraph of Article 5a (4) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89; they shall inform the Commission thereof.
2. Where, during the period referred to in paragraph 1, it is observed that at least one of the conditions laid down therein is not fulfilled, the third subparagraph of Article 5a (4) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 shall apply as from the marketing year during which failure to fulfil the condition(s) is observed; in such cases, the Member States shall immediately recover the corresponding rights. This measure shall apply without prejudice to additional penalties laid down nationally.
3. By 30 April each marketing year, the Member States shall notify the Commission of the number of producers and of animals falling within the scope of paragraph 1 during the preceding marketing year and, where applicable, the penalties as referred to in paragraph 2 and the number of rights recovered where such penalties are applied.
The areas of Italy referred to in the second indent of Article 5b (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 shall be as listed in the Annex.
1. The national reserve shall not receive the percentage provided for in the first subparagraph of Article 5b (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 following the allocation of the additional rights provided for in the third subparagraph of that paragraph.
2. Before the end of the 1995 marketing year, Italy and Greece shall complete the administrative procedure for identifying the producers referred to in the third and following subparagraphs of Article 5b (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89.
To that end, those Member States shall in particular each keep a single centralized register enabling the producers concerned to be located by administrative unit; the registers shall in particular show in respect of each producer:
- the producer's name and address,
- the number of premium rights originally granted,
- the number of premium rights already granted from the national reserve, the conditions applying and the increase provided for under this Regulation,
- the number of premiums already granted for the 1991 and 1992 marketing years,
- the producer's category in accordance with the abovementioned subparagraphs under (a) first and second indent and under (b) first and second indent.
As soon as this identification procedure has been completed, Italy and Greece shall so inform the Commission; the latter shall carry out the requisite verifications and shall notify the two Member States concerned of the number of additional rights that have been newly created. On the basis of such notification, Italy and Greece shall be authorized to pay out the advances on and the balance of the premiums corresponding to such additional rights as fixed for the 1995 marketing year; they shall inform the Commission thereof.
Notwithstanding Article 6 (1) and Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92, producers who have obtained additional rights under this Regulation shall be authorized to transfer such rights and/or lease them temporarily. Those paragraphs shall, however, continue to apply to rights held before such additional rights were obtained.
Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2814/90 is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 2 1. Producers marketing sheep's milk or sheep's milk products who wish to benefit under the derogation provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3901/89 with regard to lambs in the geographical areas and belonging to the breeds listed in the Annex hereto shall provide the following details in their premium applications, which must be submitted in the course of a set period between 1 November and 31 December preceding the beginning of the marketing year to which the premium relates:
- the actual or expected lambing periods when the lambs to be fattened as heavy carcases during the marketing year are born; if the actual lambing periods subsequently turn out to be significantly different from those expected as referred to above, the producer shall so notify the competent authoritiy in writing within one month of the change,
- the number of lambs expected to be born during each period as referred to above as a percentage of total lambs born during the marketing year,
- an undertaking to rear on the holding all lambs born to ewes declared in the premium application and to fatten them as heavy carcases.
Notwithstanding the first subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3901/89, lambs present with the ewes at the time of the inspection shall be considered to be fattened as heavy carcases, the inspection being carried out during a period which allows the lambs to fulfil the conditions on fattening laid down in paragraph 1 (c) of that Article.
2. Producers complying with the obligations set out in paragraph 1 shall receive the premium for the heavy category referred to in Article 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 in respect of all their eligible ewes; to that end the undertaking to rear on their holdings all lambs born to ewes declared shall be considered to have been fulfilled if, at the time of the inspection, except in duly justified exceptional circumstances, the number of lambs present as a percentage of ewes which have lambed during the lambing period covering the lambs subject to the inspection is at least 70 %; otherwise, the premium for the light category shall be paid for the eligible ewes provided that, in the view of the competent authority, the difference is not due to a false declaration made deliberately or through serious negligence.
Where the competent authority finds that the information contained in a premium application pursuant to paragraph 1 constitutes a false declaration made deliberately or through serious negligence, the producer concerned shall also loss the right to the premium in accordance with Article 5 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 for the marketing year in respect of which the false declaration is found to have been made.`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to premiums to be granted in respect of 1995 and subsequent marketing years.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

Decision No 12/2005 (1) of the Court of Auditors of the European Communities of 10 March 2005 regarding public access to Court documents
(2009/C 67/01)
THE COURT OF AUDITORS OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to its Rules of Procedure (2), and in particular Article 30 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (3), and in particular Articles 143(2) and 144(1) thereof,
Whereas:
the second subparagraph of Article 1 of the Treaty on European Union enshrines the concept of openness, stating that the Treaty marks a new stage in the process of creating an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe, in which decisions are taken as openly as possible and as closely as possible to the citizen;
in the Joint Declaration (4) relating to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (5), the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission call on the other institutions to adopt internal rules on public access to documents which take account of the principles and limits set out in that Regulation;
the provisions laid down in Decision No 18/97 of the Court of Auditors laying down internal rules for the treatment of applications for access to documents held by the Court (6) antedate Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 and should be revised in the light of that Regulation and of the case-law of the European Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance;
openness enhances the administration's legitimacy, effectiveness and accountability, thus strengthening the principles of democracy. To that end good administrative practice on access to documents should be promoted;
however, certain public and private interests should be protected by way of exceptions to the principle of public access to documents. In particular international auditing standards concerning the confidential nature of audit information must be duly respected,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 30 and 75 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 30 and 75 of the Act of Accession, the customs duties applicable to imports into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 of the following product coming from Spain are to be phased out within the limits of a Community tariff quota of 200 tonnes of dried figs falling within CN code ex 0804 20 90; whereas on 1 January 1991, the duties in question are to be reduced to 25 % of the basic duties; whereas the said basic duties are those laid down by Council Regulation (EEC) No 4161/87 of 22 December 1987 laying down, consequent on the entry into force of the combined nomenclature, the basic duties to be adopted within the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 for the purpose of calculating the successive reductions provided for in the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal (1); whereas the said tariff quotas should therefore be opened for 1991;
Whereas, by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2573/90 of 5 September 1990 totally suspending certain customs duties applicable by the Community of Ten to imports from Spain and Portugal (2) which concerns the products referred to in Annex II to the Treaty, with the exception of those referred to by Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 (3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2886/89 (4), the said duties are totally suspended from the time they reach a level of 2 % or less;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down the arrangements applying to trade in agricultural products between Spain and Portugal (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88 (6), lays down special arrangements for imports into Portugal of the product in question coming from Spain; whereas the Community tariff quota should therefore apply to only the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985;
Whereas all Community importers should be ensured equal and continuous access to the said quotas and the duty rates laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the product in question into all Member States until the quota is exhausted; whereas it is appropriate to take the necessary measures to ensure efficient Community administration of this tariff quota while offering the Member States the opportunity to draw from the quota volume the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within, and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the quota may be carried out by any of its members,
From 1 January to 31 December 1991 the customs duties applicable to imports into the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 of the following product coming from Spain shall be suspended at the level indicated below and within the limits of Community tariff quota as shown below: >TABLE>
(a) Taric code: 0804 20 90 10
The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take all appropriate administrative measures in order to ensure effective administration thereof.
If an importer presents, in a Member State, a declaration of entry into free circulation, including a request for preferential benefit for the product covered by this Regulation and if that declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the amount of the tariff quotas.
The drawing requests, with indication of the date of acceptance of the said declaration, must be transmitted to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission by reference to the date of acceptance of the declarations of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member States concerned to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the corresponding quota amount.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota amount, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission of the drawings made.
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the product concerned have equal and continuous access to the quotas for such time as the residual balance of the quota volume so permits.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1991.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
After consulting the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products intended for Consumers,
Whereas:
(1) Following the publication of a scientific study in 2001, entitled ‘Use of permanent hair dyes and bladder cancer risk’, the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products intended for Consumers (the SCCNFP) concluded that the potential risks were of concern. It recommended that the Commission take further steps to control the use of hair dye chemicals.
(2) The SCCNFP recommended in addition an overall safety assessment strategy for hair dyes including the requirements for testing hair dye cosmetic ingredients for their potential genotoxicity/mutagenicity.
(3) Following the opinions of the SCCNFP, the Commission together with Member States and stakeholders agreed on an overall strategy to regulate hair dyes according to which the industry was required to submit the files with scientific data on hair dyes to be evaluated by the SCCNFP.
(4) As a first step in the implementation of the strategy it was decided to give priority to permanent hair dye substances for which no explicit interest was expressed during the public consultation in defence of their use in hair dyes. Those substances should therefore be banned.
(5) According to the opinion of the SCCNFP, certain azo dyes pose a risk to the health of the consumer. They were therefore deleted from the positive list of colouring agents allowed for use in cosmetic products in Annex IV to Directive 76/768/EEC. For the same reason they should also be banned for use in hair dyes.
(6) For hair dye substances provisionally allowed in part 2 of Annex III to Directive 76/768/EEC the provisional period should be extended.
(7) Annexes II and III to Directive 76/768/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,
Annexes II and III to Directive 76/768/EEC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that from 1 December 2006 at the latest no cosmetic products which fail to comply with this Directive are placed on the market by Community manufacturers or by importers established within the Community, nor sold or disposed of to the final consumer.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 September 2006 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation between those provisions and this Directive.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 of 6 October 1997 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community(2), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
1. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulations (EC) No 1890/97(3) (hereinafter "the anti-dumping Regulation") and 1891/97(4) (hereinafter "the countervailing Regulation"), definitive anti-dumping and countervailing duties (hereinafter "the duties") were imposed on imports of farmed (other than wild Atlantic salmon from Norway (hereinafter "salmon"), with the exception of imports of salmon exported by the companies from which undertakings had been accepted by the Commission. The rate of the definitive anti-dumping duty was set at EUR 0,32(5) per kilo net product weight, and the rate of the definitive countrvailing duty at the level of 3,8 % ad valorem applicable to the net free-at-Community-frontier price, before duties.
(2) By Decision 97/634/EC(6), the Commission accepted an undertaking from the Kingdom of Norway and price undertakings from 190 Norwegian exporters.
(3) Pursuant to Article 8(9) and (10) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter "the basic anti-dumping Regulation") and Article 13(9) and (10) of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 (hereinafter "the basic countervailing Regulation"), provisional(7) and/or definitive(8) anti-dumping and countervailing duties have been imposed on imports of salmon exported by a number of companies which have either violated or withdrawn their undertakings. The duty rates applied in all these cases are those mentioned in recital 1 above.
2. REVIEW INVESTIGATION
(4) In the course of the monitoring of the price undertakings by the Commission, it became apparent that the effectiveness of the different measures was being undermined as, under certain circumstances, certain exporters which were not subject to the price undertakings were able to sell salmon on the Community market at injurious prices, even after payment of the duties. This situation increased the risk that other exporters which were bound by undertakings would almost be forced to lower their prices to compete with these comparatively cheap imports would therefore act in violation of their undertakings. With more than 80 % of salmon being exported by companies bound by undertakings, this would therefore undermine the overall effectiveness of the existing measures.
(5) Therefore, the Commission announced, by notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(9), the initiation of an ex officio investigation pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 19(1) of the basic countervailing Regulation in order to review the possibility of a change in the form of the duties so that imports of salmon at injurious prices would be prevented.
(6) The Commission advised the producers, exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country, the producing and exporting industries in Norway, and the complainant Community producers of the initiation of the review investigation. In the notice of initiation, the Commission already indicated that, for low priced imports, the form of the duties might be changed to a variable duty at the level published in that notice. Interested parties were given an opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within a set time limit. Several parties made comments in writing but no hearings were requested.
3. APPRAISAL OF THE CURRENT MARKET SITUATION
(7) It should first be recalled that the product concerned by the proceeding is farmed Atlantic salmon, whether or not filleted, fresh, chilled or frozen, currently classified under CN codes ex 0302 12 00, ex 0304 10 13, ex 0303 22 00 and ex 0304 20 12, corresponding to fresh or chilled whole fish, fresh or chilled fillets, frozen whole fish, and frozen fillets, respectively.
(8) In monitoring the undertakings, the Commission found that during the second half of 1998, the price level reported for exports of salmon gradually deteriorated, on a weekly basis, to a level which was below the non-injurious price level established during the investigations which led to the anti-dumping and countervailing measures. This development is confirmed by the Norwegian export statistics and by wholesale selling prices found in the Community. The prices of salmon imports from Norway were therefore lower than could have been expected after the imposition of the original measures and under normal market conditions.
(9) The monitoring of the undertakings and the present investigation have shown that the downward price pressure towards an injurious level was caused, to a large extent, by Norwegian exporters not bound by price undertakings which started to sell salmon at prices which, even after payment of the duties, are below the non-injurious price level. Indeed, as was established during the investigations which led to the anti-dumping and countervailing measures, salmon is traded as a commodity in a relatively transparent and competitive market.
Under these market conditions, increasing sales of salmon on the Community market at prices below the non-injurious price levels set in the undertakings would make it more and more difficult for exporters bound by undertakings to continue to respect their price obligations. Consequently, these exporters find themselves under pressure to act in breach of their undertakings by selling at an injurious price level, or face a situation where their market share is lost to other exporters which sell outside the framework of the undertakings at an injurious price level. The Community industry, the Norwegian Government and the Norwegian producers and exporters associations all shared this assessment.
(10) In addition, comments received from certain Norwegian exporters on the findings of the present review investigation also corroborate this assessment. All parties which made submissions following the initiation of the present investigation confirmed that the measures had not led to the intended price stabilisation, and most of them supported the need to review the form of the duties.
(11) It is therefore concluded that, in their current form, the duties are not having the intended effect, notably as regards underpinning the undertakings, which were initially accepted from all known exporters and thus constitute the principal measure adopted to counteract injurious dumping and subsidisation.
4. REVISION OF THE FORM OF DUTIES
(12) It is the purpose of anti-dumping or countervailing measures to eliminate injurious dumping or subsidisation respectively. The choice of the appropriate form of anti-dumping or countervailing duties for achieving this purpose depends on the circumstances of the case under consideration.
(13) Since the early 1990s, the Community salmon market has suffered recurrent crises caused by abnormally low import prices. Therefore, on the basis of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3687/91 of 28 November 1991 on the common organisation of the market in fishery products(10), the Community, starting with Regulation (EEC) No 3270/91(11), repeatedly established minimum prices, initially for Atlantic salmon and, since March 1994, for farmed Atlantic salmon. In December 1995, on the basis of Articles 112(1) and 113(3) of the Agreement on the European Economic Area(12), a safeguard measure in the form of a floor price was imposed on farmed Atlantic salmon by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2907/95(13). Customs investigations revealed that, over the whole period, the declared values on importation frequently did not correspond with the prices actually charged by the Norwegian exporters to independent EU customers(14). It was noted, that this happened particularly where salmon was traded between related parties in Norway and the Community.
(14) Based on the above experience, it was decided in 1997 to impose the anti-dumping duty in the form of a specific duty, and the countervailing duty in the form of an ad valorem duty in order to ensure the effectiveness of these duties. Given the prevalence of trade between related parties, these duties should, in principle, be maintained to prevent circumvention of the duties.
(15) However, the present investigation has shown that these duties leave open the possibility for exporters not bound by undertaking to export salmon at very low prices, which is likely to prejudice respect for the undertakings and thus their continued general use.
(16) The current form of the duties should therefore be partially revised in order to deal with such low priced imports and thereby ensure that all salmon originating in Norway is imported at a non-injurious price level. Consequently, in circumstances where the existing duties would be insufficient to ensure a non-injurious import price, the anti-dumping duty should be replaced by a minimum price and become a variable duty.
(17) Salmon is commonly traded in different presentations (gutted head-on, gutted head-off, whole fish fillets, other fillets or fillet portions, or off-cuts or trimmings). Therefore, when translating the existing duties into their new form, a non-injurious minimum price level had to be established for each of these presentations with a view to ensuring a level of protection similar to the minimum prices set in the undertakings. The different minimum prices are essentially derived from the weight conversion factor relevant to each presentation by reference to its whole fish equivalent. The presentations and the corresponding weight conversion rates and minimum price levels were published in the Annex to the Commission notice announcing the initiation of the present investigation. No comments have been received in this respect.
5. DURATION OF THE REVISED DUTIES
(18) It should be recalled that according to Article 11(2) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 18(1) of the basic countervailing Regulation, the revision of the form of the duty resulting from the present investigation does not change the normal duration of the anti-dumping and countervailing measures since the review has not covered issues of dumping and injury.
6. REPLACEMENT OF REGULATION (EC) No 1890/97 AND REGULATION (EC) No 1891/97
(19) The separate anti-dumping and countervailing Regulations were adopted following the initiation of two separate investigations concerning imports of dumped and subsidised salmon(15). In order to simplify the application of the duties, it is appropriate to replace those Regulations by a single Regulation. However, the facts and considerations established in the anti-dumping and countervailing Regulations remain valid as constituting the facts and considerations of the present Regulation,
1. (a) Definitive countervailing and anti-dumping duties are hereby imposed on imports of farmed (other than wild) Atlantic salmon falling within CN codes ex 0302 12 00, ex 0304 10 13, ex 0303 22 00, and ex 0304 20 13, originating in Norway.
(b) These duties shall not apply to wild Atlantic salmon (TARIC codes 0302 12 00*11, 0304 10 13*11, 0303 22 00*11 and 0304 20 13*11). For the purpose of this Regulation, wild salmon shall be that in respect of which the competent authorities of the Member States of landing are satisfied, by means of all customs and transport documents to be provided by interested parties, that it was caught at sea.
2. (a) The rate of the countervailing duty applicable to the net free-at-Community-frontier prices, before duty shall be 3,8 % (TARIC code 8900.
(b) The rate of the anti-dumping duty applicable to the net free-at-Community-frontier price, before duty, shall be EUR 0,32 per kilogram net product weight (TARIC code 8900). However, if the free-at-Community-frontier price, including the countervailing and anti-dumping duties, is less than the relevant minimum price set out in paragraph 3, the anti-dumping duty to be collected shall be the difference between that minimum price and the free-at-Community-frontier price, including the countervailing duty.
3. For the purpose of paragraph 2, the following minimum prices shall apply per kilogram net product weight:
>TABLE>
4. These duties shall not apply to imports of farmed Atlantic salmon exported by the companies listed in the Annex to this Regulation.
5. Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
Where any new exporter in the exporting country in question provides sufficient evidence to the Commission that it did not export the goods described in Article 1(1) during the original investigation period, the Commission, after consulting the Advisory Committee, may where appropriate amend by Regulation the Annex in order to extend the exemption from the payment of the duties to the new exporter.
1. Regulation (EC) No 1890/97 shall be repealed.
2. Regulation (EC) No 1891/97 shall be repealed.
3. References to Regulation (EC) No 1890/97 and Regulation (EC) No 1891/97 shall be construed as references to this Regulation, where appropriate.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

of 26 September 2007
opening autonomous and transitional Community tariff quotas for the import of certain agricultural products originating in Switzerland
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Following the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union, agricultural trade flows should be maintained in accordance with the preferences granted previously under the bilateral arrangements between the two Member States and Switzerland. The Community and Switzerland have agreed to proceed with the adaptation of tariff concessions within the framework of the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products (1) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’), which entered into force on 1 June 2002. The adaptation of these concessions should include the opening of new Community tariff quotas for the import of strawberries (CN code 0810 10 00), chard (or white beet) and cardoons (CN code 0709 90 20) originating in Switzerland.
(2) The bilateral procedures for adapting the concessions in Annexes 1 and 2 to the Agreement will take time. To ensure that quota benefit is available until the entry into force of that adaptation, it is appropriate to open these tariff quotas on an autonomous and transitional basis.
(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2) provides for a system for managing tariff quotas. The tariff quotas opened by this Regulation should be managed by the Commission and the Member States in accordance with that system.
(4) The rules of origin provided for in Article 4 of the Agreement should apply,
1. A duty-free Community tariff quota for products falling within CN code 0810 10 00 originating in Switzerland is hereby opened annually, on an autonomous and transitional basis, for the period from 1 January to 31 December.
The order number of the quota shall be 09.0948. The annual volume shall be 200 tonnes net weight.
2. A duty-free Community tariff quota for products falling within CN code 0709 90 20 originating in Switzerland is hereby opened annually, on an autonomous and transitional basis, for the period from 1 January to 31 December.
The order number of the quota shall be 09.0950. The annual volume shall be 300 tonnes net weight.
3. In 2007, the tariff quotas provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be opened for the period from 1 September to 31 December, for the full annual volumes provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2.
4. The tariff quotas provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall expire on 31 December 2009.
5. The rules of origin provided for in Article 4 of the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on trade in agricultural products shall apply to the products referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article.

Whereas:
(1) According to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2), it is for the food business operator to remove tonsils after post mortem inspection.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down requirements for the production of colostrum. It should therefore be subject to official controls.
(3) Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 establishes general principles to be followed for certificates accompanying imports of products of animal origin from third countries. In particular, it requires certificates to be drawn up at least in the official language of the third country of dispatch and the Member State of entry. Due to many practical and operational problems already raised by this double requirement, it is more appropriate to limit these requirements to the basic principle of an obligation to draw up certificates at least in the official language or languages of the Member State of entry. However, due to its interest in certain situations, provision allowing the third country of dispatch to use its official language should be maintained as one possibility in supplement to the above principle. Annex VI should be amended accordingly.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 should be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annexes I, IV and VI to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(3),
Whereas:
(1) In order to combat value added tax (VAT) evasion it is necessary to strengthen cooperation between tax administrations within the Community and between the latter and the Commission in accordance with common principles.
(2) To that end, Council Regulation (EEC) No 218/92(4), which supplemented, as regards VAT, the system of cooperation established by Council Directive 77/799/EEC of 19 December 1977 concerning mutual assistance by the competent authorities of the Member States in the field of direct and indirect taxation(5), has been replaced by Council Regulation (EC) No 1798/2003 of 7 October 2003 on administrative cooperation in the field of value added tax and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 218/92(6). The latter Regulation sets out all the provisions relating to administrative cooperation in the field of VAT, with the exception of mutual assistance as provided for by Council Directive 76/308/EEC of 15 March 1976 on mutual assistance for the recovery of claims relating to certain levies, duties, taxes and other measures(7).
(3) The scope of mutual assistance laid down by Directive 77/799/EEC must be extended to taxation of the insurance premiums referred to in Directive 76/308/EEC so as to better protect the financial interests of the Member States and the neutrality of the internal market.
(4) Directive 77/799/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Directive 77/799/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. the title shall be replaced by the following:
"Council Directive 77/799/EEC of 19 December 1977 concerning mutual assistance by the competent authorities of the Member States in the field of direct taxation, certain excise duties and taxation of insurance premiums";
2. in Article 1(1), the first indent shall be replaced by the following:
"- taxation of insurance premiums referred to in the sixth indent of Article 3 of Council Directive 76/308/EEC,";
2(a) in Article 1(5), the wording under the heading "in the United Kingdom" shall be replaced by the following:"The Commissioners of Customs and Excise or an authorised representative for information required concerning taxes on insurance premiums and excise duty.
The Commissioners of Inland Revenue or an authorised representative for all other information.";
2(b) in Article 1(5) the wording under "in Italy" shall be replaced by the following:"Il ministro dell'economia e delle finanze or an authorised representative."
3. Article 7(1), shall replaced by the following:
"1. All information made known to a Member State under this Directive shall be kept secret in that State in the same manner as information received under its national legislation. In any case, such information:
- may be made available only to the persons directly involved in the assessment of the tax or in the administrative control of this assessment,
- may be made known only in connection with judicial proceedings or administrative proceedings involving sanctions undertaken with a view to, or relating to, the making or reviewing the tax assessment and only to persons who are directly involved in such proceedings; such information may, however, be disclosed during public hearings or in judgements if the competent authority of the Member State supplying the information raises no objection,
- shall in no circumstances be used other than for taxation purposes or in connection with judicial proceedings or administrative proceedings involving sanctions undertaken with a view to, or in relation to, the making or reviewing of the tax assessment.
In addition, Member States may provide for the information referred to in the first subparagraph to be used for assessment of other levies, duties and taxes covered by Article 2 of Directive 76/308/EEC(8)."
References made to Directive 77/799/EEC in relation to value added tax (VAT) shall be construed as references to Regulation (EC) No 1798/2003.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive on 31 December 2003. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

31985R1249 | Council Regulation (EEC) No 1249/85 of 13 May 1985 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for yarn of poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide) for use in the manufacture of tyres or of products used in the manufacture of tyres, falling within subheading ex 51.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff
| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1249/85
of 13 May 1985
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for yarn of poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide) for use in the manufacture of tyres or of products used in the manufacture of tyres, falling within subheading ex 51.01 A of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the draft Regulation submitted by the Commission,
Whereas the production of yarn of poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide) is currently insufficient in the Community to meet the requirements of the user industries in the Community; whereas, consequently, Community supplies of products of this type currently depend to a considerable extent on imports from third countries; whereas it is in the Community's interest to partially suspend the Common Customs Tariff duty for the yarn in question, within the Community tariff quota, of an appropriate volume for a relatively limited period; whereas, in order not to bring into question the development prospects of this production in the Community while ensuring an adequate supply to satisfy user industries, it is advisable to limit the benefits of tariff quotas solely to products for use in the manufacture of tyres, to open the quota for the period 1 July to 31 December 1985 and to fix the volume of this quota at a level of 600 tonnes, corresponding to the needs for imports from third countries during that period, and to fix the quota duty at 2 %;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rate of duty for the tariff quota should be applied consistently to all imports until the quota is exhausted; whereas, in the light of these principles, arrangements for the utilization of the tariff quota based on an allocation among Member States would seem to be consistent with the Community nature of the quota; whereas, to correspond as closely as possible to the actual trend in the market in the product in question, allocation of the quota should be in proportion to the requirements of the Member States as calculated by reference to statistics of imports from third countries during a representative reference period and to the economic outlook for the quota period in question;
Whereas, however, since the quota is an autonomous Community tariff quota intended to cover import needs arising in the Community, for experimental purposes, the quota volume may be allocated on the basis of the temporary import needs from third countries expressed by each of the Member States; whereas these arrangements for allocation will equally ensure the uniform application of the Common Customs Tariff;
Whereas, to take account of possible import trends for the product concerned, the quota volume should be divided into two tranches, the first being allocated between certain Member States and the second held as a reserve to meet subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial shares and any additional requirements which might arise in the other Member States; whereas, to give importers of the Member States some degree of certainty, the first tranche of the tariff quota should be fixed at a relatively high level, which in this case could be 560 tonnes;
Whereas initial shares may be used up at different rates; whereas, to avoid disruption of supplies on this account, it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used up its initial share should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas each time its additional share is almost used up a Member State should draw a further share, and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares should be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission, which latter must be in a position to keep account of the extent to which the quotas have been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, if at a given date in the quota period a considerable quantity of a Member State's initial share remains unused, it is essential that the Member State should return a significant proportion to the reserve, in order to prevent a part of the Community quota remaining unused in one Member State while it could be used in others; Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 July until 31 December 1985, the Common Customs Tariff duty for yarns of poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide), falling within subheading ex 51.01 A, for use in the manufacture of tyres or of products used in the manufacture of tyres, shall be suspended at the level of 2 % within the framework of a Community tariff quota of 600 tonnes.
2. Within the limits of this tariff quota, Greece shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions in the 1979 Act of Accession.
1. A first tranche of 560 tonnes of this Community tariff quota shall be allocated among certain Member States; the shares, which subject to Article 5 shall be valid until 31 December 1985, shall be as follows:
1.2 // // (tonnes) // Benelux // 40 // Denmark // 1 // Germany // 10 // Greece // 1 // France // 427 // Ireland // 1 // Italy // 60 // United Kingdom // 20
2. The second tranche of 40 tonnes shall constitute the reserve.
1. If a Member State has used 90 % or more of its initial share as fixed in Article 2 (1), or of that share minus any portion returned to the reserve pursuant to Article 5, it shall forthwith, by notifying the Commission draw a second share, to the extent that the reserve so permits, equal to 10 % of its initial share rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
2. If a Member State, after exhausting its initial share, has used 90 % or more of the second share drawn thereby, that Member State shall forthwith, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 5 % of its initial share rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
3. If a Member State, after exhausting its second share, has used 90 % or more of the third share drawn thereby, that Member State shall, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall apply until the reserve is used up.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, a Member State may draw shares lower than those specified in those paragraphs if there are grounds for believing that those specified may not be used in full. Any Member State applying this paragraph shall inform the Commission of its grounds for so doing.
Additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 31 December 1985.
Member States shall, not later than 15 November 1985, return to the reserve the unused portion of their initial share which, on 1 November 1985, is in excess of 20 % of the initial volume. They may return a greater position if there are grounds for believing that it may not be used in full.
Member States shall, not later than 15 November 1985, notify the Commission of the total quantities of the products in question imported up to 1 November 1985 and charged against the Community quota and of any portion of their initial shares returned to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall, as soon as the notifications reach it, inform each Member State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall, not later than 20 November 1985, inform the Member States of the amounts still in reserve following any return of shares pursuant to Article 5.
It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts the reserve does not exceed the balance available, and to this end shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing. Article 7
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their aggregate shares of the Community tariff quota.
2. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that the products listed in Article 1 (1), benefiting from the Community tariff quota, are indeed destined for use in the manufacture of tyres.
Control of the use for this special purpose shall be carried out pursuant to the relevant Community provisions.
3. Member States shall ensure that importers of the product in question have free access to the shares allotted to them.
4. Member States shall charge imports of the product in question against their shares as the product is entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
5. The extent to which Member States have used up their shares shall be determined on the basis of imports charged against them under the conditions set out in paragraph 4.
At the Commission's request, the Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 21,639 EUR/100 kg.

After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
(1) Société Européenne de Commerce sarl (hereinafter referred to as 'SECO`), a French bicycle assembler, submitted a request on 14 February 1997 pursuant to Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 to be exempted from the application of the anti-dumping duty extended by Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (hereinafter referred to as 'the extended duty`).
(2) Pursuant to Articles 5(1) and 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 88/97, payment of the customs debt in respect of the extended duty was suspended for SECO from the date of its request in respect of any imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation. The date of effect of the suspension was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (5).
(3) Following the receipt of SECO's request, the Commission services requested additional information required for the determination of its admissibility and prescribed a time limit for the submission of this information.
(4) Since SECO had failed to provide the information requested for the determination of the admissibility of its request within the period specified, the Commission informed the company, in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 that it intended to reject its request for exemption from the extended duty, and gave it an opportunity to comment. No comments were received.
(5) Since SECO is no longer justified in benefiting from a suspension of the payment of the extended duty, the suspension should be lifted, and the extended duty collected.
The request for exemption from the extended duty made pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) 88/97 by Société Européenne de Commerce sarl (France) is hereby rejected as inadmissible.
The suspension of the payment of the extended duty pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 is hereby lifted for Société Européenne de Commerce sarl. (France).

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 18 June 1987
on the acceptance for breeding purposes of pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species
(87/328/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Directive 77/504/EEC of 25 July 1977 on pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species (1), as last amended by Regulation EEC No 3768/85 (2) and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Directive 77/504/EEC was intended gradually to liberalize intra-Community trade in pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species; whereas, for this purpose, additional harmonization with regard to the acceptance of such animals and their semen for breeding purposes is necessary ;
Whereas, in this respect, it is necessary to prevent national provisions relating to the acceptance for breeding purposes of pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species and their semen from constituting a prohibition, restriction or impediment to intra-Community trade either in the case of natural service or artificial insemination ;
Whereas there must be no prohibition, restriction or impediment on pure-bred female animals of the bovine species for breeding purposes ;
Whereas artificial insemination constitutes an important technique for increasing the use of the best breeders and, hence, for improving the bovine species; whereas in so doing, however, any impairment of the pedigree must be avoided, particularly with regard to male breeders, which must possess all guarantees of their genetic value and of their freedom from hereditary defects ;
Whereas it is necessary to make a distinction between the acceptance for artificial insemination of pure-bred bulls and their semen which have undergone all the official tests laid down for their breed in a Member State and the acceptance of bulls and their semen accepted solely for the purposes of testing ;
Whereas it is useful to establish a procedure for solving, in particular, difficulties that may arise in the assessment of the results of tests ;
Whereas the provision that semen must come from officially approved centres responsible for artificial insemination is capable of providing the guarantees necessary for attaining the desired end ;
Whereas it is desirable that pure-bred bulls and their semen be identified by blood grouping or any other appropriate methods ;
Whereas it is useful to provide for the designation of certain bodies for collaborating in the harmonization of testing methods and of the assessment of results ;
Whereas in the light of particular conditions currently existing in Spain and Portugal it is necessary to provide for an additional prolongation for the implementation of this Directive,
Member States shall ensure that, without prejudice to animal health rules, there is no prohibition, restriction or impediment on the acceptance of pure-bred female animals of the bovine species for breeding purposes and the acceptance of pure-bred bulls for natural service.
1. A Member State may not prohibit, restrict or impede :
— the acceptance for official testing of pure-bred bulls or the use of their semen within the limits of the quantities necessary for approved organizations or associations to carry out such official tests,
— the acceptance for artificial insemination within its territory of pure-bred bulls or the use of their semen when those bulls have been accepted for artificial insemination in a Member State on the basis of tests carried out in accordance with Decision 86/130/ EEC (3).
2. Where implementation of these provisions would give rise to disputes, particularly with regard to interpretation of the tests, operators shall have the right to seek the opinion of an expert.
In the light of the expert's opinion, measures may be adopted at the request of a Member State in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8 of Directive 77/504/EEC.
3. The general rules for implementing paragraph 2 shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 8 of Directive 77/504/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that the use of pure-race bulls and their semen referred to in Article 2 is subject to identification of the bulls concerned by analysis of the blood group or by any other appropriate method adopted in accordance with the procedure of Article 8 of Directive 77/504/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that, for intra-Community trade, the semen referred to in Article 2 is collected, treated and stored in an officially approved artificial insemination centre.
The Council acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall designate one or more reference centres as being responsible for collaborating in the harmonization of the testing methods and of the assessment of the results.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 January 1989. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
However the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall have an additional period of time of three years within which to comply with this Directive.

Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3179/93 (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 of 17 July 1984 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for the production of olive oil and of aid to olive oil producer organizations (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3500/90 (4), and in particular Article 17a (2) thereof,
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the unit amount of the production aid must be reduced where the actual production for a given marketing year exceeds the maximum guaranteed quantity fixed for that marketing year; whereas, however, producers whose average production is less than 500 kilograms of olive oil per marketing year are not affected by that reduction;
Whereas Article 17a of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 provides that, in order to determine the unit amount of the production aid for olive oil which may be paid in advance, the estimated production for the marketing year concerned should be established; whereas, for the 1991/92 marketing year, the estimated production and the unit amount of the production aid which may be paid in advance were fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1090/93 (5);
Whereas, pursuant to Article 17a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84, not more than six months after the end of the marketing year the quantity actually produced in respect of which entitlement to the aid has been recognized must be determined; whereas, to that end, in accordance with Article 12a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3061/84 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2796/93 (7), the Member States concerned must notify the Commission, not later than 31 March following each marketing year, of the quantity recognized as qualifying for the aid in each Member State; whereas as a result of those communications the quantity eligible for aid for the 1992/93 marketing year amounts to 410 000 tonnes for Italy, 1 840 tonnes for France, 314 432 tonnes for Greece, 636 000 tonnes for Spain and 17 075 tonnes for Portugal; whereas, as a consequence, the sum of the quantities thus forwarded constitutes the quantity eligible for reimbursement from the EAGGF;
Whereas, in view of the quantity actually produced, the unit amount of the production aid provided for in point (b) of the fifth subparagraph of Article 5 (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC should also be fixed;
Whereas the amount of production aid in Spain and Portugal is different from that in the other Member States;
Whereas, on the basis of data available, the actual quantity and the unit amount of the aid mentioned above should be fixed at the levels given below;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
For the 1992/93 marketing year for olive oil:
- the quantity actually produced in respect of which entitlement to the production aid has been recognized and which is eligible for reimbursement by the EAGGF Guarantee Section is 1 379 347 tonnes,
- the unit amount of the production aid shall be:
- ECU 54,24/100 kg for Spain,
- ECU 51,80/100 kg for Portugal,
- ECU 82,32/100 kg for the other Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns a new use of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase EC 3.2.1.8 produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (CNCM MA 6-10) (Safizym X), as a feed additive for ducks, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The use of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase EC 3.2.1.8 produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (CNCM MA 6-10) was authorised without a time limit for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1453/2004 (2), without a time limit for turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 943/2005 (3), without a time limit for laying hens by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1810/2005 (4) and for ten years for piglets (weaned) by Commission Regulation (EC) No 497/2007 (5).
(5) New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation for ducks. The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 10 July 2007 that the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase EC 3.2.1.8 produced by Trichoderma longibrachiatum (CNCM MA 6-10) (Safizym X) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (6). It further concluded that that preparation does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation for this additional animal category. According to that opinion, the use of that preparation is efficacious in digestibility of feedingstuffs. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas Article 21 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1301/79 (3), lays down the ways in which products withdrawn from the market under Article 18 or bought in under Article 19 are to be disposed of ; whereas the alternatives at present available have not allowed disposal of all the products in question ; whereas, while provisions should therefore be made for further ways of disposal, it should be ensured that they do not compete with normal marketing channels;
Whereas it is necessary to convert into ECU the amounts expressed in units of account ; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 652/79 of 29 March 1979 on the impact of the European monetary system on the common agricultural policy (4) laid down the conversion coefficient to be used for this purpose;
Whereas Article 26 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 lays down that a countervailing charge is to be withdrawn when the entry price has been at least equal to the reference price for two consecutive market days ; whereas, in order to improve the working of the reference price system, the time from which such entry prices will be taken into consideration should be specified;
Whereas trade in aubergines and courgettes is considerable in certain producer Member States and is significant at Community level ; whereas it is, therefore, necessary to apply to those products all the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 and, in particular, to adopt common quality standards ; whereas the said products should, therefore, be added to the list in Annex I to that Regulation,
Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 is hereby amended as follows: 1. The term "shall ensure that" in Article 21 (1) (a), sixth indent, shall be replaced by "shall take all necessary measures to ensure that".
2. The following indent shall be added to Article 21 (1) (a):
"- free distribution to prison institutions and to children's holiday camps as well as to those hospitals and old people's homes which are designated by Member States, which shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the quantities thus distributed are in addition to the quantities normally bought in by such establishments."
3. In Article 18 (3), Article 21 (1) point one, fifth indent and Article 21 (3), first subparagraph, the term "and sixth indent" shall be replaced by "sixth and seventh indents".
4. In Article 25 (1) and in Article 25a (1), the term "0 75 units of account" shall be replaced by "0 76 ECU".
5. In Article 26 (1), the term "one unit of account" shall be replaced by "1 72 ECU".
6. The second subparagraph of Article 26 (1) shall be amended to read as follows:
"A decision to withdraw the charge for a given exporting country shall be taken whenever, from the time of actual application of that charge, the entry price has been at least equal to the reference price for two consecutive market days or whenever, except where Article 24 (4) applies, there are no prices in respect of that country for six consecutive market days. Such decision shall also be taken if (1)OJ No C 85, 8.4.1980, p. 79. (2)OJ No L 118, 20.5.1972, p. 1. (3)OJ No L 162, 30.6.1979, p. 26. (4)OJ No L 84, 4.4.1979, p. 1.
the charge is fixed at zero as a result of application of the first subparagraph."

Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2010/82/EU
of 29 November 2010
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards an extension of the use of the active substance tetraconazole
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Council Directive 2009/82/EC (2) tetraconazole was included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/CEE for use as a fungicide.
(2) However, the inclusion of tetraconazole is limited to uses on field crops with a restricted rate and timing of application. Uses on apples and grapes are entirely excluded. Those restrictions were necessary because at the time of inclusion the information required for the groundwater assessment was insufficient, in particular as regards the risk of contamination by two metabolites which had not been identified by the notifier. As regards uses on apples and grapes, the information necessary for the assessment of the risk to consumers was incomplete.
(3) The notifier Isagro has requested an amendment to the inclusion of tetraconazole extending its use as a fungicide by removing those restrictions. It has submitted further scientific data in support of its request.
(4) Italy which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) assessed those data and submitted to the Commission on 10 February 2010 an addendum to the draft assessment report on tetraconazole, which was circulated for comments to the other Member States and to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The draft assessment report together with that addendum was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 28 October 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for tetraconazole.
(5) The new data submitted by the notifier and the new assessment carried out by the rapporteur Member State indicate that the requested extension of use does not cause any risks in addition to those already taken into account in the specific provisions for tetraconazole in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and in the Commission review report for that substance. In particular as regards the risk of groundwater contamination, the rapporteur Member State considered that the new study submitted by the notifier identifies those metabolites and that there is no unacceptable leaching. Concerning use on apples and grapes, it concluded that, as completed by the new supervised and field trials, the residue data show that there are no risks as regards the acute and chronic intake by consumers.
(6) In accordance with Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, it is therefore justified to modify the specific provisions for tetraconazole by removing the restrictions on its use as a fungicide.
(7) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, in the column ‘Specific provisions’ of the row for ‘Tetraconazole’, Part A is replaced by the following:
‘PART A
Only uses as fungicide may be authorised.’
Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 March 2011 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 April 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 26 July 1971 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to meters for liquids other than water (71/319/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament 1;
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee 2;
Whereas in the Member States the construction and methods of control of liquid meters are subject to mandatory provisions which differ from one Member State to another and consequently hinder trade in such instruments ; whereas it is therefore necessary to approximate these provisions;
Whereas the Council Directive of 26 July 1971 3 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to provisions for both measuring instruments and methods of metrological control has laid down the EEC pattern approval and EEC initial verification procedures ; whereas, in accordance with that Directive, the technical requirements for the design and functioning of volumetric meters for liquids other than water should be laid down;
Whereas, to ensure that these instruments can be used directly in measuring systems for liquids, approximation of national provisions concerning the maximum permissible errors for such assemblies should be undertaken immediately;
This Directive applies to volumetric meters for liquids other than water in which the liquid causes the movement of mobile walls of measuring chambers and which permit the measurement of any volumes.
1. "Volumetric meter for liquids" means an instrument composed solely of a measuring device and an indicating device. It generally forms part of a measuring system.
2. "Measuring system for liquids" means a measuring instrument comprising, as well as the meter itself and the ancillary equipment which may be associated with it, all the devices necessary for ensuring correct measurement and any devices which have been added in order, in particular, to facilitate the operations. Measuring systems will be the subject of a separate directive.
Those volumetric meters which may bear EEC marks and symbols are described in Chapter I of the Annex. They shall be subject to EEC pattern approval and shall be submitted to EEC initial verification under the conditions laid down in items 1 and 2 of Annex II to the Directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to provisions for both measuring instruments and methods of metrological control, and under the conditions which will be laid down by the separate directive on measuring assemblies. 1OJ No C 25, 28.2.1970, p. 76. 2OJ No C 26, 4.3.1970, p. 2. 3OJ No L 202, 6.9.1971, p. 1.
No Member State may refuse, prohibit or restrict the placing on the market or entry into service of volumetric meters for liquids other than water bearing the EEC pattern approval symbol and the EEC initial verification mark.
When measuring assemblies for liquids which incorporate volumetric meters for liquids bearing EEC marks and symbols are subject to initial verification, the maximum permissible errors shall be those laid down in Chapter II of the Annex.
1. Member States shall put into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions needed in order to comply with this Directive within eighteen months of its notification, and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. Member States shall ensure that the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.

of 10 December 2013
laying down rules for the management and distribution of textile quotas established for the year 2014 under Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules (1), and in particular Article 17(3) and (6) and Article 21(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 517/94 established quantitative restrictions on imports of certain textile products originating in certain third countries to be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
(2) Under that Regulation it is possible, in certain circumstances, to use other allocation methods, to divide quotas into tranches, or to reserve a proportion of a specific quantitative limit exclusively for applications which are supported by evidence of the results of past import performance.
(3) Rules for management of the quotas established for 2014 should be adopted before the quota year begins so that the continuity of trade flows is not affected unduly.
(4) The measures adopted in previous years, such as those in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1163/2012 (2), proved to be satisfactory and it is therefore appropriate to adopt similar rules for 2014.
(5) In order to satisfy the greatest possible number of operators it is appropriate to make the ‘first come, first served’ allocation method more flexible by placing a ceiling on the quantities which can be allocated to each operator by that method.
(6) To guarantee a degree of continuity in trade and efficient quota administration, operators should be allowed to make their initial import authorisation application for 2014 equivalent to the quantity which they imported in 2013.
(7) To achieve optimum use of the quantities, an operator who has used up at least one half of the amount already authorised should be permitted to apply for a further amount, provided that quantities are available in the quotas.
(8) To secure a sound administration, import authorisations should be valid for nine months from the date of issue but only until the end of the year at the latest. Member States should issue licences only after being notified by the Commission that quantities are available and only if an operator can prove the existence of a contract and can certify, in the absence of a specific provision to the contrary, that he has not already been allocated a Community import authorisation under this Regulation for the categories and countries concerned. The competent national authorities should, however, be authorised, in response to importers’ applications, to extend by three months and up to 31 March 2015 licences of which at least one half has been used by the application date.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee established by Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 517/94,
This Regulation lays down rules on the management of quantitative quotas for imports of certain textile products set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 for the year 2014.
The quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated according to the chronological order of receipt by the Commission of Member States’ notifications of applications from individual operators, for amounts not exceeding the maximum quantities per operator set out in Annex I.
The maximum quantities shall not, however, apply to operators able to prove to the competent national authorities, when making their first application for 2014, that, in respect of given categories and given third countries, they imported more than the maximum quantities specified for each category pursuant to import licences granted to them for 2013.
In the case of such operators, the competent authorities may authorise imports not exceeding the quantities imported in 2013 from given third countries and in given categories, provided that enough quota capacity is available.
Any importer who has already used up 50 per cent or more of the amount allocated to him under this Regulation may make a further application, in respect of the same category and country of origin, for amounts not exceeding the maximum quantities laid down in Annex I.
1. The competent national authorities listed in Annex II may, from 10 a.m. on 8 January 2014, notify the Commission of the amounts covered by requests for import authorisations.
The time fixed in the first subparagraph shall be understood as Brussels time.
2. The competent national authorities shall issue authorisations only after being notified by the Commission pursuant to Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 517/94 that quantities are available for importation.
They shall issue authorisations only if an operator:
(a) proves the existence of a contract relating to the provision of the goods; and
(b) certifies in writing that, in respect of the categories and countries concerned:
(i) the operator has not already been allocated an authorisation under this Regulation; or
(ii) the operator has been allocated an authorisation under this Regulation but has used up at least 50 per cent of it.
3. Import authorisations shall be valid for nine months from the date of issue, but until 31 December 2014 at the latest.
The competent national authorities may, however, at the importer’s request, grant a three-month extension for authorisations which are at least 50 per cent used up at the time of the request. Such extension shall in no circumstances expire later than 31 March 2015.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1) and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2) and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2681/74 of 21 October 1974 on Community financing of expenditure incurred in respect of the supply of agricultural products as food aid (3) lays down that the portion of the expenditure corresponding to the export refunds on the products in question fixed under Community rules is to be charged to the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section.
(2) In order to make it easier to draw up and manage the budget for Community food aid actions and to enable the Member States to know the extent of Community participation in the financing of national food aid actions, the level of the refunds granted for these actions should be determined.
(3) The general and implementing rules provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 on export refunds are applicable mutatis mutandis to the abovementioned operations.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 22 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2006/88/EC lays down the animal health requirements to be applied for the placing on the market, the importation into and the transit through the Community of aquaculture animals and products thereof. That Directive provides that aquaculture animals and products thereof are to be introduced into the Community only from third countries or parts of third countries that appear on a list drawn up and updated in accordance with the procedure referred to therein.
(2) Article 11 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 of 12 December 2008 implementing Council Directive 2006/88/EC as regards conditions and certification requirements for the placing on the market and the import into the Community of aquaculture animals and products thereof and laying down a list of vector species (2) lays down the rules applicable to the import of ornamental aquatic animals intended for closed ornamental facilities.
(3) Pursuant to Article 11(2) of that Regulation, Member States are to authorise the imports of ornamental fish which are not of susceptible species to any of the diseases listed in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC, and ornamental mollusc and ornamental crustaceans intended for closed ornamental facilities only from third countries or territories that are members of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). That provision ensures that relevant epidemiological data related to those animals is made available to all OIE members.
(4) Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 lays down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which imports are permitted of aquaculture animals intended for farming, put and take fisheries and open ornamental facilities, and of ornamental fish susceptible to one or more of the diseases listed in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC and intended for closed ornamental facilities.
(5) The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) is an international organisation that provides technical assistance, policy advice, training and research services to 22 Pacific Island countries and territories in areas such as health, human development, agriculture, forestry and fisheries. Certain SPC members are not members of the OIE.
(6) The OIE and the SPC concluded an Agreement in September 1999. Pursuant to that Agreement, the SPC is to encourage those of its members that are not members of the OIE to participate in the OIE information network for animal health and aquatic animal health.
(7) The Annex to that Agreement, concluded by the SPC and the OIE on 10 April 2003, lays down the terms of collaboration between both parties for the development, maintenance and distribution of a Regional Animal Health Information System for the Pacific Island Countries and its Territories.
(8) By letters of 31 March 2009 and 30 April 2009, the SPC informed the Commission that SPC members that are not members of the OIE are able to upload relevant disease information in the OIE World Animal Health Information System in accordance with OIE criteria, as from May 2009.
(9) It is therefore appropriate to amend Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008, in order to authorise imports of ornamental fish which are not of susceptible species to any of the diseases listed in Part II of Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC, and ornamental molluscs and ornamental crustaceans, intended for closed ornamental facilities also from third countries and territories that are not members of the OIE but have an official agreement with that organisation in order to participate in its information network for animal health and aquatic animal health.
(10) The United States have confirmed that Puerto Rico, US Virgin Island, American Samoa, Guam and Northern Mariana Islands are considered territories of the United States and the competent authority of the United States is responsible for notification of animal diseases to the OIE.
(11) Annex III to that Regulation should also be amended accordingly, to include the relevant SPC members.
(12) Pursuant to Council Directive 91/67/EEC of 28 January 1991 concerning the animal health conditions governing the placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products (3), Member States were to ensure that imports of aquaculture animals and products from third countries were subject to conditions at least equivalent to those applying to the production and placing on the market of Community products.
(13) While Directive 91/67/EEC was in force, imports from the United States of crustaceans for farming, put and take fisheries, and open ornamental facilities were permitted in the Member States. That Directive was repealed and replaced by Directive 2006/88/EC, which harmonised the animal health requirements for such imports.
(14) Article 20(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 lays down a transitional period during which consignments of crustaceans for farming, put and take fisheries, and open ornamental facilities may continue to be imported in accordance with the regime in place before the entry into force of Directive 2006/88/EC. That transitional period expires on 30 June 2009.
(15) Therefore, the United States should be included in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008, pending the completion of on-the-spot inspections carried out in accordance with Directive 2006/88/EC in order to verify conformity with Community aquatic animal health rules.
(16) Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(17) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 11, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
(a) are members of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE); or
(b) are listed in Annex III and have a formal agreement with the OIE to regularly submit information concerning their animal health status to the members of that organisation.’
2. Annex III is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2009.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 718/1999 of 29 March 1999 on a Community fleet capacity policy to promote inland waterway transport (1), and in particular Article 9(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 805/1999 of 16 April 1999 laying down certain measures for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 718/1999 on a Community fleet capacity policy to promote inland waterway transport (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) Pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 718/1999, the Commission must lay down the practical arrangements for implementing the Community fleet capacity policy defined in the abovementioned Regulation.
(3) It is advisable to maintain the special contribution rates and equivalent tonnages laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89 (4) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1102/89 (5) since they have proved effective.
(4) In order to ensure mutual financial support between the inland waterways' funds, it is advisable for the Commission, with the help of the various fund authorities, at the beginning of each year, to enter in the accounts the resources available in the reserve fund and to balance the accounts in the event of new improvement measures.
(5) The Member States concerned and the organisations representing inland waterway carriers at Community level have been consulted on the measures provided for in this Regulation,
Subject matter
This Regulation fixes the rate of the special contributions referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 718/1999, the ratios for the ‘old-for-new’ rule, and the practical arrangements for implementing the Community fleet capacity policy.
Special contributions
1. The special contributions for the various types and categories of vessels shall be between 70 % and 115 % of the following rates:
(a) Dry cargo vessels:
(i) self-propelled barges: EUR 120 per tonne;
(ii) pushed barges: EUR 60 per tonne;
(iii) lighters: EUR 43 per tonne.
(b) Tanker vessels:
(i) self-propelled barges: EUR 216 per tonne;
(ii) pushed barges: EUR 108 per tonne;
(iii) lighters: EUR 39 per tonne.
(c) Pusher craft: EUR 180/kW with a linear increase to EUR 240/kW where the motive power is equal to or greater than 1 000 kW.
2. For vessels with a deadweight capacity of less than 450 tonnes, the maximum rates for the special contributions set out in paragraph 1 shall be reduced by 30 %.
For vessels with a deadweight capacity of between 450 and 650 tonnes, the maximum rates for the special contributions shall be reduced by 0,15 % for every tonne by which the deadweight capacity of the vessel in question is less than 650 tonnes.
For vessels with a deadweight capacity of between 650 and 1 650 tonnes, the maximum rates for the special contributions shall show a linear increase from 100 % to 115 %. For vessels with a deadweight capacity of more than 1 650 tonnes, the maximum rates for the special contributions shall remain at 115 %.
Equivalent tonnage
1. Where a vessel owner brings into service one of the vessels referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 718/1999 and presents for scrapping a vessel or vessels of another type, the equivalent tonnage to be taken into consideration shall be determined, within each of the two categories of vessels indicated below, in accordance with the following adjustment coefficients:
(a) Dry cargo vessels:
(i) self-propelled barges over 650 tonnes: 1,00;
(ii) push barges over 650 tonnes: 0,50;
(iii) lighters over 650 tonnes: 0,36.
(b) Tanker vessels:
(i) self-propelled barges over 650 tonnes: 1,00;
(ii) push barges over 650 tonnes: 0,50;
(iii) lighters over 650 tonnes: 0,18.
2. For vessels with a deadweight capacity of less than 450 tonnes, the coefficients set out in paragraph 1 shall be reduced by 30 %. For vessels with a deadweight capacity of between 650 and 450 tonnes, these coefficients shall be reduced by 0,15 % for every tonne by which the deadweight capacity of the vessel in question is less than 650 tonnes. For vessels with a deadweight capacity of between 650 and 1 650 tonnes, the coefficients shall show a linear increase from 100 to 115 %.
‘Old for new’ ratios
The bringing into service of vessels shall be subject to the condition laid down in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 718/1999:
1. in the case of dry cargo carriers, the ratio (between old tonnage and new tonnage) shall be 0:1;
2. in the case of tanker vessels, the ratio shall be 0:1;
3. in the case of pusher craft, the ratio shall be 0:1.
Mutual financial support
1. With a view to entering in the accounts the resources available in the reserve fund or to operating the mutual financial support arrangements between the accounts of the various funds as required pursuant to Article 3(6) of Regulation (EC) No 718/1999, each fund shall communicate the following information to the Commission at the beginning of each year:
(a) the fund's receipts in the previous year, in so far as these receipts are intended for the payment of scrapping premiums or measures provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 718/1999 (Rdn);
(b) the financial commitments incurred by the fund during the previous year in respect of scrapping premiums or measures provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 718/1999 (Pn);
(c) the fund's surplus as at 1 January of the previous year deriving from receipts intended for the payment of scrapping premiums or measures provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 718/1999 (Sn).
2. The Commission, with the assistance of the fund authorities, shall determine, on the basis of the information referred to in paragraph 1:
(a) the total financial commitments incurred by the funds during the previous year in respect of scrapping premiums or measures provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 718/1999 (Pt);
(b) the total receipts of all the funds during the previous year (Rdt);
(c) the total surplus of all the funds on 1 January of the previous year (St);
(d) the adjusted annual financial commitment of each fund (Pnn), calculated as follows:
(e) for each fund, the difference between annual financial commitments (Pn) and annual adjusted financial commitments (Pnn);
(f) the sums which each fund whose annual commitments are less than the annual adjusted financial commitments (Pn < Pnn) transfers to a fund with annual financial commitments greater than the annual adjusted commitments (Pn > Pnn).
3. Each of the funds involved shall transfer the sums referred to in point (f) of paragraph 2 to the other funds by 1 March of the current year.

Whereas:
(1) By virtue of Regulation (EC) No 2505/96(1), the Council opened Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural and industrial products. Community demand for the products in question should be met under the most favourable conditions. Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened at reduced or zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes, and increased or extended in the case of certain existing tariff quotas, while avoiding any disturbance to the markets for these products.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended.
(3) Having regard to the economic importance of this Regulation, it is necessary to invoke the ground of urgency provided for in point I(3) of the Protocol annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities on the role of national parliaments in the European Union,
For the quota period from 1 January to 30 June 2002, Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 shall be amended as follows:
- order number 09.2935: the amount of the tariff quota shall be altered to 80000 tonnes.
For the quota period from 1 January to 31 December 2002, Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 shall be amended as follows:
- order number 09.2799: the amount of the tariff quota shall be altered to 50000 tonnes,
- order number 09.2950: the amount of the tariff quota shall be altered to 6500 tonnes.
With effect from 1 July 2002, the tariff quotas listed in the Annex to this Regulation shall be added to Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed at the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas artichokes are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas artichokes harvested during a given crop year are marketed from October to September of the following year; whereas the quantities harvested in the months July to October are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for these months; whereas reference prices should be fixed only for the period 1 November up to and including 30 June of the following year;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas, to take seasonal price variations into account, the marketing year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 140 (2) and 272 (3) of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, the prices of Spanish and Portuguese products will not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first phase in the case of Spain and during the first stage in the case of Portugal;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1987/88 marketing year, the reference prices for artichokes falling within subheading 07.01 L of the Common Customs Tariff, CN 0709 10 00, expressed in ECU per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class I, of all sizes, shall be as follows:

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 of 15 March 1976 laying down special measures for linseed (1), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 requires that criteria should be laid down for the determination of the average world market price, together with general rules for granting the subsidy for linseed and for the control of the areas sown and harvested within the Community;
Whereas the average world market price must be determined on the most favourable purchasing terms available on that market;
Whereas relevant figures should be those recorded during the marketing period for Community seeds for offers on the world market and prices quoted on the major international exchanges ; whereas, however, those offers which cannot be considered representative of the true trend of the market should be ignored;
Whereas, if there are no representative offers or quotations for linseed, the average world market price for linseed should be determined on the value of the products resulting from the processing of this seed ; whereas where the offers or quotations for linseed on the world market would prejudice the sale of the Community production of linseed the world market price should be determined on the value of the average quantities of oil and oil-cake derived from the processing of linseed less the processing costs;
Whereas, to ensure the smooth running of the subsidy system, the average world market price must be recorded for a Community frontier crossing point ; whereas in fixing this point account should be taken of the extent to which it is representative for imports of linseed and therefore the port of Rotterdam should be chosen ; whereas offers and quotations will have to be adjusted if they relate to a different frontier crossing point;
Whereas such adjustments should also be made to the offers and quotations adopted in order to compensate for any variation from the presentation and quality used as criteria when fixing the guide price;
Whereas the producer Member States should be required to set up the control arrangements necessary to ensure the smooth running of the subsidy system;
Whereas under Article 2 (2) of the said Regulation the subsidy is to be granted for a production figure obtained by applying to the surface areas sown and harvested an indicative yield which may be differentiated, taking into account the characteristics of the flax produced and the yield ascertained in the major production areas in the Community ; whereas, to ensure that the subsidy system is properly applied, the indicative yield should be determined by reference primarily to yields ascertained by random sampling in the major production areas, (1)OJ No L 67, 15.3.1976, p. 29.
1. The average world market price for linseed referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 shall be determined in the light of the offers on the world market and the prices quoted on the major international exchanges recorded over the most representative marketing period for Community seeds.
2. The average world market price shall be determined on the average of the most favourable offers and quotations recorded during the period referred to in paragraph 1, excluding offers and quotations which cannot be regarded as representative of the true trend of the market,
3. If the offers and quotations for linseed cannot be used as a basis for determining the world market price or if the consideration of such offers and quotations would not allow the Community production of linseed to be sold in normal market conditions, the world market price shall be determined on the value of average quantities of oil and oil-cake obtained from the processing in the Community of 100 kilogrammes of linseed less an amount corresponding to the cost of processing these seeds into oil and oil-cake.
The average world market price shall be determined for loose seeds of standard quality delivered at Rotterdam.
The necessary adjustments shall be made where offers and quotations do not satisfy the requirements referred to in paragraph 1.
Producer Member States shall set up a checking system to ensure, in the case of each linseed grower to whom a subsidy is granted under Article 2 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 569/76, that the crop area in respect of which subsidy was applied for corresponds to the area on which linseed was actually sown and harvested.
The indicative yield referred to in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 shall be determined in particular in the light of the yields per hectare ascertained by random sampling in the major production areas in the Community.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives (1), and in particular Article 10(3) and Article 30(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 lays down a Union list of food additives approved for use in foods and their conditions of use.
(2) That list may be amended in accordance with the procedure referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 establishing a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings (2).
(3) Pursuant to Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, the Union list of food additives may be updated either on the initiative of the Commission or following an application.
(4) An application for authorisation of the use of polyglycitol syrup in several food categories was submitted and was made available to the Member States.
(5) The European Food Safety Authority evaluated the safety of polyglycitol syrup when used as a food additive (3). It considers that the chemical and toxicological data available for polyglycitol syrup are insufficient to establish an acceptable daily intake. However, it concludes, on the basis of the available data, that there are no indications of a safety concern for the proposed uses and use levels.
(6) There is a technological need for the use of polyglycitol syrup as an alternative polyol for the other already authorised polyols. Polyglycitol syrup is less sweet and provides more bulk, opacity, binding and stability in energy-reduced or sugar-free products. It is therefore appropriate to authorise the use of polyglycitol syrup in the food categories applied for and to assign E 964 as E-number to that food additive.
(7) Pursuant to the transitional provisions of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1129/2011 of 11 November 2011 amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council by establishing a Union list of food additives (4), Annex II establishing the Union list of food additives approved for use in foods and conditions of use applies from 1 June 2013. In order to allow the use of polyglycitol syrup in the food categories concerned before that date, it is necessary to specify an earlier date of application with regard to that food additive.
(8) Therefore, Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 should be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

2. in point (d) of the first subparagraph of 1 (1), 'from the Member State referred to under (a)' is deleted;
3. the following is added to the third subparagraph of Article 1 (1):

31996D0158 | 96/158/EC: Commission Decision of 6 February 1996 concerning the placing on the market of a product consisting of a genetically modified organism, hybrid herbicide-tolerant swede-rape seeds (Brassica napus L. oleifera Metzq. MS1Bn × RF1Bn), pursuant to Council Directive 90/220/EEC (Text with EEA relevance)
| COMMISSION DECISION of 6 February 1996 concerning the placing on the market of a product consisting of a genetically modified organism, hybrid herbicide-tolerant swede-rape seeds (Brassica napus L. oleifera Metzq. MS1Bn × RF1Bn), pursuant to Council Directive 90/220/EEC (Text with EEA relevance) (96/158/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/220/EEC of 23 April 1990 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 94/15/EC (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 10 to 18 of Directive 90/220/EEC, there is a Community procedure enabling the competent authority of a Member State to give consent to the placing on the market of live products consisting of genetically modified organisms;
Whereas, a notification concerning the placing on the market of such a product (a hybrid herbicide-tolerant swede-rape marketed as seed) has been submitted to the competent authorities of the United Kingdom for the purpose of growing for obtaining seed but not for marketing for human food or animal feed;
Whereas, the competent authorities of the United Kingdom has subsequently forwarded the dossier thereon to the Commission with a favourable opinion;
Whereas the Commission has forwarded the dossier to the competent authorities of all Member States; whereas the competent authorities of other Member States have raised objections to the said dossier;
Whereas the objections raised concern:
- the assessment of the product's effects on the pattern of use of chemical herbicides and the uncertainty concerning any resulting long-term environmental consequences,
- the assessment of the health (toxicological) effects of the product if its is to be used for human food or animal feed, and
- the labelling of the product;
Whereas, therefore, in accordance with Article 13 (3), the Commission is required to take a decision in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21 of Directive 90/220/EEC;
Whereas the authorization for use in the environment of chemical herbicides is subject to other Community legislation, and in particular Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (3), as last amended by Directive 94/43/EC (4); whereas, therefore, issues related to the authorization of the herbicide are not within the scope of Directive 90/220/EEC;
Whereas in the notification made under Directive 90/220/EEC the risk to human health and the environment from the survival and spread of this herbicide-tolerant swede-rape was evaluated, as well as the transfer of the herbicide tolerance gene or the other modified genes to compatible species; whereas it was concluded that the risk of establishment was low and that any spread or transfer of the herbicide tolerance gene could be controlled by using existing management strategies;
Whereas, the Commission, having examined the dossier submitted under Directive 90/220/EEC, and having taken into account all the information submitted by the Member States, has found that the information on the environmental risk contained in the dossier is sufficient to enable the Commission to take a favourable decision on the placing on the market of the said product as seed, provided that the specified conditions of use and labelling are followed;
Whereas, Article 11 (6) and Article 16 (1) of Directive 90/220/EEC provide additional safeguards if new information on risks of the product becomes available;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the committee established under Article 21 of Directive 90/220/EEC,
1. Subject to the provisions laid down in Council Directive 69/208/EEC (5) and to the conditions outlined in paragraph 2, the authorities of the United Kingdom shall consent to the placing on the market of the following product, notified by Plant Genetic Systems (Reference C/UK/94/M1/1), under Article 13 of Directive 90/220/EEC.
The product comprises of living seeds of a hybrid swede-rape (Brassica napus L. oleifera Metzq.) derived using:
(a) the progeny of the male sterile swede-rape line MS1Bn (B91-4) cultivar Drakkar containing the barnase gene from bacillus amyloliquefaciens coding for ribonuclease, the bar gene from streptomyces hygroscopicus coding for phosphinothricin acetyl transferase, the neo gene from Escherichia coli coding for neomycin phosphotransferase II, the promoter PSsuAra from arabidopsis thaliana, the promoter PNos from agrobacterium tumefaciens, the promoter PTA29 from nicotiana tabacum; and
(b) the progeny of the fertility restoration swede-rape line RF1BN (B93-101) cultivar drakkar containing the barstar gene from bacillus amyloliquefaciens coding for ribonuclease inhibitor, the bar gene from streptomyces hygroscopicus coding for phosphinothricin acetyl transferase, the neo gene from Escherichia coli coding for neomycin phosphotransferase II, the promoter PSsuAra from arabidopsis thaliana, the promoter PNos from agrobacterium tumefaciens, the promoter PTA29 from nicotiana tabacum.
2. The conditions of the consent are as follows:
(a) The consent covers the seeds of all hybrids between non-genetically modified swede-rape and the genetically modified swede-rape described in paragraph 1 but does not cover the seeds of any hybrids resulting from a combination of any genetically modified plants other than those described in paragraph 1.
(b) The consent only covers the notified use of the product for growing for obtaining seed, but does not extend to the use for human food or animal feed, without prejudice to any future assessment of the product for such use.
(c) In addition to any other labelling, it will be indicated on the label of each package of seeds that the product is tolerant to the herbicide glufosinateammonium; and that the product is to be used only for obtaining seed and not for human food or animal feed.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 29 April 1992 on a transitional guidance programme for the fishing fleet (1992) of Greece pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 (Only the Greek text is authentic) (92/366/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3944/90 (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas, on 30 April 1991, the Government of Greece forwarded to the Commission a multiannual guidance programme for the fishing fleet for the period 1992 to 1996, hereinafter referred to as 'the programme', as required by Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86; whereas it forwarded at a later date additional information concerning the programme;
Whereas it is necessary to consider whether, having regard to the foreseeable trend in fishery resources, the market for fishery and aquaculture products, the measures adopted under the common fisheries policy and the guidelines for the latter, the programme fulfils the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and constitutes a suitable framework for Community and national financial aid for the sector concerned;
Whereas the objectives of the previous programme approved by Commission Decision 88/148/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 90/106/EEC (4), constitute the reference basis for assessing the actual development recorded and the effort still needed to ensure that the Community objectives are achieved;
Whereas the objectives of the guidance programme for 1991 have not been uniformly achieved; whereas the current or likely situation as regards availability of fish in conjunction with the activities of the fleet concerned does not allow for any adjustment of the forecast on the basis of which these objectives were determined and approved; whereas the efforts made to adapt the fleet should therefore be sustained and strengthened over the period 1992 to 1996, in view of the fact that availability of fish continues to deteriorate;
Whereas the scope of the planned modernization efforts implies a substantial improvement in the overall performance of the fleet concerned which should be taken into account when assessing the relationship to be achieved by the end of the programme period between fleet capacity and fish availability;
Whereas the development recorded should be monitored on a regular basis so as to improve or adjust the fishery support measures that accompany the implementation of the programme;
Whereas any development that does not comply with the programme objectives would run counter to the objectives of the common fisheries policy; whereas, therefore, certain specific measures undertaken under this programme may not warrant public financial assistance; whereas, in this context, approval of the programme should only be effective where the limitations and conditions upon which such approval was made conditional are complied with;
Whereas it is important that the overall reduction in fishing effort judged to be necessary in order to adapt the Community fleet to available resources should reflect significant reductions in particular segments of that fleet where an imbalance is most apparent; whereas there is insufficient information available at present to achieve comprehensive segmentation of the fleet in accordance with stocks and zones fished; whereas a broader range of parameters should therefore be developed to evaluate fishing effort as well as fleet capacity;
Whereas the Commission cannot approve programmes for the full period until adequate information is available to Member States to permit this new approach and additional time will be required to execute the work programme necessary to complete this process;
Whereas it is not appropriate to interrupt the process of reduction of the fleet inherent in the guidance programmes; whereas transitional programmes, for the period 1 January to 31 December 1992, should therefore be approved;
Whereas further reduction in fleet capacity is needed in view of the present state of the fish stocks; whereas available information indicates that a minimum reduction of 2 % expressed in tonnage and engine power, based on the objectives for the end of 1991, is necessary to compensate for technological progress; whereas in addition to that reduction, a certain percentage reduction is also necessary for catching-up, in the case of those Member States which have not reached the 1991 objectives;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,
A transitional guidance programme for the fishing fleet covering the period up to the end of 1992 is hereby approved subject to the limitations and conditions set out in this Decision and provided that those limitations and conditions are complied with.
At the latest by the end of July 1992 and the end of February 1993, Greece shall forward the Commission, in respect of each category of vessel defined in the programme, information on the number of vessels commissioned and withdrawn and on the tonnage and engine power added and withdrawn during the six-month period ending on the preceding 30 June or 31 December.
The approval referred to in Article 1 shall only be effective where the development of the fleet complies with the objectives of the programme as set out in the Annex hereto.
This Decision shall be without prejudice to any Community financial aid that may be granted to individual investment projects.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Greece. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3653/90 of 11 December 1990 introducing transitional measures governing the common organization of the market in cereals and rice in Portugal (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (3), and in particular Article 7 (6) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1569/77 of 11 July 1977 fixing the procedure and conditions for the taking over of cereals by intervention agencies (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1841/90 (5), provides for a minimum intervention quantity of 80 tonnes for common wheat, rye, barley, maize and grain sorghum;
Whereas, under the intervention scheme existing in Portugal up to 31 December 1990, there was no lower limit on intervention buying; whereas the Portuguese Government is attempting to promote a better organization of producers in the cereal sector; whereas the transition from the national scheme to that resulting from the application of the common organization of the markets may create difficulties, in particular for small Portuguese producers; whereas to enable these producers to improve their structures, provisions should be adopted permitting a gradual adjustment to Community rules;
Whereas, with regard to the minimum characteristics, the gradual transition from the measures applied in Portugal during the first stage to those provided for under the common organization of the markets should be provided for and the necessary conversion allowed for; whereas, the immediate application of the Community scheme would risk the exclusion of large quantities from intervention; whereas, therefore, such an application would create considerable difficulties for Portuguese producers and would, to a certain extent, go against the aims of the Act of Accession;
Whereas the fixing of minimum characteristics different from those applicable in the rest of the Community requires the fixing of a list of specific reductions different to that provided for in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1570/77 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2258/87 (7);
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3653/90 provides, as a transitional measure, for the possibility of aid for triticale in Portugal; whereas, therefore, conditions governing the buying-in of this cereal should be laid down;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. Notwithstanding Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1569/77, offers may be made to the Portuguese intervention agency of homogeneous batches of common wheat, rye, triticale, barley, maize and grain sorgho of not less than:
- 15 tonnes for the period 1 July 1991 until the end of the 1991/92 marketing year,
- 30 tonnes during the 1992/93 marketing year, and
- 45 tonnes during the 1993/94 marketing year.
2. Notwithstanding Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1569/77, Portugal is hereby authorized to accept for intervention:
- batches of cereals other than maize and grain sorgho harvested in Portugal of which the percentage of matter other than basic cereals of unimpaired quality does not exceed:
- 16 % in 1991/92,
- 14 % in 1992/93,
- batches of common wheat, durum wheat and barley harvested in Portugal, having a specific minimum weight of
Product Marketing year 1991/92 Marketing year 1992/93 Durum wheat 74 kg/hl 76 kg/hl Common wheat 68 kg/hl 70 kg/hl Barley 58 kg/hl 60 kg/hl
- batches of durum wheat harvested in Portugal having a maximum percentage of grains which have wholly or partly lost their vitreous aspect (mĂŠtadinĂŠ) of 50 % for the 1991/92 marketing year and 45 % for the 1992/93 marketing year.
To be accepted for intervention, batches of triticale shall be considered as sound, fair and of marketable quality if they are of the typical colour of that cereal, free from abnormal smell and live pests (including mites) at every stage of their development and if they meet the minimum quality requirements laid down for the acceptance into intervention in Portugal of rye.
Notwithstanding Regulation (EEC) No 1570/77, the following provisions shall apply:
1. for durum wheat of a specific weight of less than 77 kg/hl, the buying-in price shall be reduced by 2 %;
2. for common wheat of a specific weight of less than 72 kg/hl, the reduction provided for in Article 4a of Regulation (EEC) No 1570/77 shall apply;
3. for barley of a specific weight of less than 63 kg/hl the following reductions shall apply to the buying-in price:
- 63 kg/hl to 60 kg/hl = 1 %,
- less than 60 kg/hl = 3 %.
When a batch of triticale is bought in by the Portuguese intervention agency, the buying-in price shall be adjusted by the application of the reductions laid down for rye in Articles 3 (2), 4 (1) to (4) and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1570/77.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as amended by Regulation (EU) No 121/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) has established a scheme whereby food products may be distributed to the most deprived persons in the Union. For that purpose, products in intervention stocks may be made available or, where intervention stocks suitable for the food distribution scheme are not available, food products may be purchased on the market. For 2012 and 2013, that scheme is included in the list of measures eligible for financing by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (4), within an annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(2) In accordance with Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 the Commission has to adopt annual plans. The annual distribution plan for 2012 was adopted on 10 June 2011 by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 562/2011 (5) solely on the basis of products available in intervention stocks. The additional resources made available on the 2012 budget year for the distribution of food products to the most deprived persons in the Union, as a result of the amendment of Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 by Regulation (EU) No 121/2012, should be allocated to the Member States.
(3) In order to enforce the annual budgetary ceiling, the intra-Union transfer costs, where relevant, should be included into the total financial allocation made available for each Member State to implement the 2012 distribution plan. Moreover, the deadlines fixed by Article 9 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 of 14 September 2010 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Union (6) for the requests for payment and the execution of payments by the competent authorities should be adjusted, in order to ensure that the resources allocated within the 2012 distribution plan are only eligible for Union support if those payments are made in the 2012 budget year.
(4) Taking into account the shortened time-frame left to the Member States for the implementation of the 2012 distribution plan as a consequence of the date of entry into force of Regulation (EU) No 121/2012, it is appropriate to grant an extension of the deadlines provided for in Article 3(1) and (3) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 as regards the implementation period of the annual plan and the completion of the payment operations for products mobilised on the market.
(5) That revision of the distribution plan for 2012 being made at a time when national administrative arrangements for the implementation of the plan should be approaching completion, the quantities of products available in intervention stocks which are reallocated following the decision of Finland to renounce to a part of its allocation of skimmed milk powder or to reassessment of the exact quantities in intervention storage should not be taken into account for calculating whether Member States have respected the obligation laid down in the second and third subparagraphs of Article 3(2) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 to have withdrawn 70 % of cereals and skimmed milk powder by the deadlines fixed in that Article.
(6) In view of the fact that the implementation period of the 2012 distribution plan is already advanced and to allow Member States as much time as possible to proceed to the actions needed for the implementation of the amended plan, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.
(7) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 562/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 562/2011 is amended as follows:
(1) Articles 1 and 2 are replaced by the following:
(2) the following Articles 2a to 2d are inserted:
(a) 5,46 tonnes of cereals stored in the United Kingdom and allocated to Bulgaria;
(b) 0,651 tonne of cereals stored in Finland and allocated to Bulgaria;
(c) 249,04 tonnes of cereals stored in France and allocated to France;
(d) 635,325 tonnes of skimmed milk powder stored in Estonia and allocated to Estonia.
(3) Annexes I and II are replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| 2.6.2007 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 141/3
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 605/2007
of 1 June 2007
laying down transitional measures for certain import and export licenses for trade in agricultural products between the Community as constituted on 31 December 2006 and Bulgaria and Romania
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Until 31 December 2006, trade in agricultural products between the Community and Bulgaria and Romania was subject to the presentation of an import or export license. As of 1 January 2007, those licenses could no longer be used for such trade.
(2) Certain licenses which are still valid after 1 January 2007 have not been used at all or have been used only partially. Commitments entered into in connection with those licenses must be fulfilled failing which the security lodged would be forfeited. Given that such commitments can no longer be fulfilled after the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, it appears necessary to lay down, with effect from the date of accession of those two countries, a transitory measure providing for the release of the securities lodged.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the all the Management Committees concerned,
At the request of the interested parties, the securities lodged for the issuing of import and export licenses and advance-fixing certificates, shall be released, under the following conditions:
(a) the country of destination, origin or provenance marked in the licenses or certificates is Bulgaria or Romania;
(b) the validity of the licenses or certificates has not expired before 1 January 2007;
(c) the licenses or certificates have been used only partially or not at all by 1 January 2007.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COMMISSION DECISION
of 30 April 2007
concerning measures taken by Slovenia following outbreaks of classical swine fever in Croatia
(notified under document number C(2007) 1830)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/314/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (3), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) and Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Since 3 March 2007, several outbreaks of classical swine fever have occurred in Croatia close to the border with Slovenia. On 8 March 2007, Slovenia took, on the basis of the information provided by Croatia, control and precautionary measures relating to pig holdings and movements of pigs in restriction zones, located in the municipality of Brežice and within a distance of 3 and 10 kilometres from an outbreak in Croatia. Different measures apply in the 3 and in the 10 km restriction zones that have been based on the requirements laid down in Council Directive 2001/89/EC of 23 October 2001 on Community measures for the control of classical swine fever (4).
(2) In addition, on 12 March 2007 Slovenia took similar measures in zones located in the municipalities Razkrizje, Ljutomer, Ormoz and Črenšovci and within a distance of 10 kilometres from another outbreak in Croatia.
(3) The measures taken by Slovenia were notified to the Commission and the Member States without delay. Those measures include a ban on the dispatch of pigs and pig meat from the restriction zones to other parts of Slovenia and to other Member States.
(4) The control and precautionary measures taken by Slovenia have proven effective, as to date no outbreaks of classical swine fever have been detected in that Member State.
(5) Nevertheless, in order to prevent the spread of classical swine fever in the Community it is appropriate to provide for a prohibition, in this Decision, on the dispatch of pigs from holdings situated within the restriction zones established by Slovenia.
(6) However, due to the prolonged restrictive period, welfare problems are expected on pig holdings that make it necessary to allow derogations to the movement restriction.
(7) Therefore, the dispatch of pigs from the restriction zones to a designated slaughterhouse in Slovenia for immediate slaughter and to holdings in that Member State situated outside the restriction zones should be permitted subject to the condition that the pigs have been submitted with negative results to examinations in accordance with Commission Decision 2002/106/EC of 1 February 2002 approving a Diagnostic Manual establishing diagnostic procedures, sampling methods and criteria for evaluation of the laboratory tests for the confirmation of classical swine fever (5).
(8) No slaughterhouse is available in the restriction zones making it necessary for the Slovenian authorities to designate a slaughterhouse outside those zones for the slaughter, for welfare reasons, of pigs from the restriction zones.
(9) Strict controls are to be put in place by Slovenia for dispatches of pigs from holdings in the restriction zones to a designated slaughterhouse or other holding outside those zones. Due to those strict controls, it is unnecessary to subject meat from those pigs to a treatment pursuant to Directive 2002/99/EC. Furthermore, such meat should not be permitted to enter into intra-Community or international trade.
(10) It is appropriate to provide for specific measures with respect to the marking of fresh pigmeat from the restriction zones in Slovenia and its subsequent use as well as the destination of the processed products. Such measures should not reduce the degree of protection from classical swine fever in the Community and should not impair intra-Community trade or international trade.
(11) Accordingly, it is appropriate in this particular case to provide for a specific alternative identification mark that Slovenia may apply to fresh meat from the restriction zones and which cannot be confused with the identification marks for pigmeat provided for in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (6) or Commission Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down transitional arrangements for the implementation of Regulations (EC) No 853/2004, (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Regulations (EC) No 853/2004 and (EC) No 854/2004 (7), and the health mark for fresh pigmeat provided for in Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (8).
(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. Slovenia shall ensure that the dispatch of pigs from holdings situated within the restriction zones established by that Member State following outbreaks of classical swine fever in Croatia is prohibited.
However, such pigs may be dispatched from a holding where the pigs have been submitted with negative results to clinical examinations and laboratory investigations in accordance with:
(a) point 1 and point 3 in Chapter IV(D) of the Annex to Decision 2002/106/EC when the pigs are moved directly to a designated slaughterhouse in Slovenia for immediate slaughter; or
(b) points 1, 2 and the second, third and fourth subparagraphs of point 4 in Chapter IV(D) of the Annex to Decision 2002/106/EC when the pigs are moved to a holding in Slovenia situated outside the restriction zone, whereby the blood samples for laboratory investigation must be taken on the holding of origin before the dispatch of the pigs.
2. Slovenia shall undertake laboratory investigations in accordance with point 4 in Chapter IV(D) of the Annex to Decision 2002/106/EC for pigs referred to in paragraph 1 that are moved to a slaughterhouse.
3. Slovenia shall without undue delay communicate to the Commission and to the other Member States the up-to-date lists of the restriction zones referred to in paragraph 1.
1. Slovenia shall not be required to submit fresh meat obtained from the pigs referred to in Article 1(1) of this Decision to the appropriate treatment set out in Annex III to Directive 2002/99/EC, provided that that fresh meat is marked with the mark provided for in Annex II to that Directive or with a legible and indelible alternative identification mark in accordance with the model set out in the Annex to this Decision.
That mark cannot be confused with:
(a) the identification mark for fresh meat provided for in Section I of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004;
(b) the health mark for fresh pig meat provided for in Chapter III of Section I of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004;
(c) the identification mark for fresh meat provided for in Article 4 to Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005.
2. Meat from the pigs referred to in Article 1 shall:
(a) not be dispatched from Slovenia to other Member States or exported to third countries;
(b) be obtained, cut, transported and stored separately from meat intended for intra-Community trade or export to third countries;
(c) be used in such a way as to ensure that it is not introduced into meat products intended for intra-Community trade or export to third countries, unless it has undergone the treatment set out in Annex III to Directive 2002/99/EC.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and, in particular Article K.3 (2) (b) thereof,
Having regard to the initiative by the Federal Republic of Germany,
Whereas pursuant to Article K.I point 3 of the Treaty on European Union, policy regarding nationals of third countries is considered as a matter of common interest for the Member States;
Whereas this policy includes, in particular, the determination of conditions of entry and movement by nationals of third countries on the territory of Member States in accordance with Article K.1 point 3 (a);
Whereas the granting of travel facilities for school pupils who are legal residents in the European Union is an expression of a policy pursued by the Member States with a view to improved integration of third country nationals,
1. A Member State shall not require a visa of a school pupil who is not a national of a Member State but who is legally resident in another Member State and who seeks to enter its territory either for a short stay or transit if:
(a) in the framework of a school excursion, the school pupil is travelling as a member of a group of school pupils from a general education school;
(b) the group is accompanied by a teacher from the school in question who is able to present a list of the schoolchildren he or she is accompanying, issued by the school in question on the common form contained in the Annex:
— identifying the school pupils being accompanied;
— documenting the purpose and circumstances of the intended stay or transit;
(c) the school pupil presents a travel document valid for crossing the border in question, except in cases covered by Article 2,
2. A Member State may refuse entry of a school pupil if he or she does not fulfil the other relevant national immigration conditions.
The list of pupils which must be carried on crossing the border in question as required by Article 1 (1) (b) shall be recognized as a valid travel document in all Member States within the meaning of Article 1 (1) (c) where:
— a current photograph is included on the list for any of the school pupils therein mentioned who are unable to identify themselves with an ID card bearing a photograph,
— the responsible authority of the Member State in question confirms residence status of the school pupil as well as his or her right to re-entry and ensures that the document is authenticated accordingly,
— the Member State in which the school pupils reside notifies other Member States that it wishes this Article to apply in respect of its own lists.
Member States shall agree to take back without formalities school pupils who are resident third country nationals admitted into another Member State on the basis of this joint action.
If, in exceptional cases, for urgent reasons of national security, a Member State needs to invoke the possibilities foreseen by Article K.2 (2) of the Treaty on European Union, it shall be able to deviate from the provisions of Article 1 of this Decision in a way which takes into consideration the interests of the other Member States. The Member State in question shall inform the other Member States of this in an appropriate manner. These measures may be applied to the extent that, and as long as, this is absolutely necessary to achieve the objective.
1. Member States shall ensure that their national laws are adapted to the extent necessary and the provisions of this joint action included in them as soon as possible, at the latest by 30 June 1995.
2. Member States shall inform the General Secretariat of the Council regarding the changes in national law undertaken for this purpose.
Other cooperation in this area between individual Member States shall not be affected by this action.
1. This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal.
2. Articles 1 to 4 shall be applied on the first day of the second month after the notification required pursuant to Article 5 (2) regarding the changes made by the last Member State to complete this formality. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
