COUNCIL DECISION
of 30 January 2006

Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries(4), and in particular Article 22 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 2000/766/EC of 4 December 2000 concerning certain protection measures with regard to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies and the feeding of animal protein(5), prohibits the feeding of processed animal proteins to certain farmed animals. This prohibition does not apply to certain processed animal proteins subject to conditions, which have been established by Commission Decision 2001/9/EC(6), as amended by Decision 2001/165/EC(7).
(2) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies(8), prohibits the feeding of mammalian proteins, processed as well as unprocessed, to ruminants. The application of the relevant provision was postponed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 270/2002(9).
(3) The ban on feeding processed animal protein to certain farmed animals in Decision 2000/766/EC should be extended to the feeding of any animal protein to ruminants, as a matter of coherence and to avoid any risk of BSE transmission. Certain animal proteins, which use is neither considered to pose a risk of BSE nor to hamper controls, should continue to be allowed.
(4) Eggs and egg products are not considered to present a risk of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, therefore the feeding of eggs and egg products to farmed animals should be allowed.
(5) As regards the feeding of animals other than ruminants, the rules on the production of fishmeal should be clarified in relation to establishments which produce both fish and fishery products for human consumption, and fishmeal for animal feeding.
(6) Therefore, Decisions 2000/766/EC and 2001/9/EC should be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Article 2 of Decision 2000/766/EC is amended as follows:
1. Paragraph 1 is replaced by the following: "1. Member States shall prohibit the feeding of:
(a) proteins derived from animals to ruminants;
(b) processed animal proteins to farmed animals which are kept, fattened or bred for the production of food."
2. In paragraph 2, the last indent is replaced by the following: "- milk and milk products, and eggs and egg products."
In Annex I to Decision 2001/9/EC, point 1 is replaced by the following: "1. Fishmeal shall be produced in processing plants dedicated only to the production of fish derived products, which shall be approved for this purpose by the competent authority in accordance with Article 5(2) of Council Directive 90/667/EEC."
This Decision shall apply from 1 April 2002.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94, as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (1), and in particular Article 68(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 19 January 2012, the Kingdom of Denmark submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (hereinafter ‘Agency’) a dossier pursuant to Article 69(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, in order to initiate the restrictions process in accordance with Articles 69 to 73 of that Regulation (hereinafter ‘Annex XV dossier’). In that dossier, it was demonstrated that exposure to chromium VI, when contained in leather articles or leather parts of articles coming into contact with the skin, poses a risk to human health. Chromium VI compounds can induce new cases of sensitisation and elicit allergic response. The dossier demonstrates that action on a Union-wide basis is necessary.
(2) Chromium VI compounds can be formed in leather through the oxidation of chromium III compounds, which are added in some tanning processes to cross-link the collagen subunits in order to increase leather’s dimensional stability, as well as its resistance to mechanical action and heat. According to the Annex XV dossier, the mechanisms of and conditions under which chromium VI is formed are known and most tanneries in the Union have already developed and widely implemented measures in order to control and minimise its formation.
(3) On 28 November 2012 the Committee for Risk Assessment (hereinafter ‘RAC’) adopted by consensus the opinion on the restriction proposed in the Annex XV dossier. According to the RAC opinion, the restriction is the most appropriate Union-wide measure to address the identified risks posed by chromium VI compounds in leather, both in terms of effectiveness and practicability. However, in its opinion RAC proposed to modify the restriction by deleting the notion of direct and prolonged contact with the skin, originally included in the Annex XV dossier.
(4) The proposed restriction focuses on the risk of induction of skin sensitisation related to direct or indirect skin contact with leather articles or leather parts of articles containing chromium VI. In already sensitised people, such contacts may also elicit allergic response at lower concentrations than those needed for the induction of sensitisation.
(5) The proposed restriction should cover leather articles and articles containing leather parts used by consumers or workers, that under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use come into contact with the skin.
(6) The EN ISO 17075 standard method is the only internationally recognised analytical method currently available to detect chromium VI in leather, including leather in articles. The determination limit of the EN ISO 17075 standard method is 3 mg/kg (0,0003 % by weight) of chromium VI content in the total dry weight of the leather. Fixing such threshold for the restriction of the placing on the market of leather articles or articles containing leather parts is therefore justified for monitorability and enforceability purposes.
(7) According to the RAC opinion, the threshold of 3 mg/kg (0,0003 % by weight) of chromium VI content in the total dry weight of the leather corresponds to exposures higher than the Lowest-Observed Adverse Effect Level for elicitation. According to the opinion of RAC, that threshold is expected to be 80 % effective in reducing the occurrence of new chromium VI-related allergic dermatitis cases due to chromium VI in leather articles.
(8) The effectiveness of the restriction on the number of cases of chromium allergy can be determined by monitoring cases of chromium VI-related allergic dermatitis. Should the prevalence of the allergy not decrease, or should an analytical method to detect lower content of chromium VI become available and be recognised as reliable, this restriction should be reviewed.
(9) On 6 March 2013 the Committee for Socio-Economic Analysis (hereinafter ‘SEAC’) adopted by consensus the opinion on the restriction proposed in the Annex XV dossier. According to the SEAC opinion, the restriction, as modified by RAC, is the most appropriate Union-wide measure to address the identified risks in terms of the proportionality of its socioeconomic benefits to its socioeconomic costs.
(10) The Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement was consulted during the restrictions process.
(11) On 8 April 2013 the Agency submitted to the Commission the opinions of RAC and SEAC based on which the Commission concluded that an unacceptable risk to human health arose where chromium VI compounds were present in leather articles and articles containing leather parts, coming into contact with the skin, which needs to be addressed on a Union-wide basis. The socioeconomic impacts of this restriction, including the availability of alternatives, have been taken into account.
(12) The restriction on the placing on the market of second-hand articles would impose a disproportionate burden on the consumers re-selling these articles. Furthermore, due to the nature of those transactions, such restriction would be difficult to enforce. Therefore, this restriction should not apply to leather articles or articles containing leather parts which were in end-use in the Union before this Regulation applies.
(13) It is appropriate to provide for a period of 12 months after the entry into force of this Regulation for the stakeholders concerned to take measures to comply with this Regulation, including addressing articles that are already in the supply chain, including in stocks.
(14) Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 133 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006,
Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 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.
It shall apply from 1 May 2015.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

(82/637/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 25 February 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the 'Crystal Technology - Lithium Niobate, Optical Parametric Oscillator Crystal; ordered on 16 February 1979 and to be used for molecular spectroscopy with picosecond light pulses, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 15 February 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the 'Crystal Technology - Lithium Niobate, Optical Parametric Oscillator Crystal' may not be regarded as an instrument or apparatus within the meaning of Article 3 (1) and (2) of the aforementioned Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75, but consists in fact of semi-manufactured articles for a pressure measurement system; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 does not apply to semi-manufactured articles; whereas, therefore, the conditions for import free of duties are not fulfilled,
The 'Crystal Technology - Lithium Niobate, Optical Parametric Oscillator Crystal', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 25 February 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.
(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:

(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.
(9) Import duties and export refunds still apply to certain sugar products traded between the Community, of the one part, and the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, hereinafter referred to as "new Member States", of the other part, and the level of export refunds is appreciably greater than the level of import duties. In view of the accession of these countries to the Community on 1 May 2004, the appreciable gap between the level of import duties and the level of export refunds granted for the products in question may result in speculative trade flows.
(10) To prevent any abuse through the re-import or re-introduction into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund or levy should be set for all the new Member States for the products covered by this Regulation.
(11) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1125/89 (2), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 introduced a system of production aid for certain processed fruit and vegetable products; whereas, if a major imbalance between production and market outlets as mentioned in the said Article 2 (3) arises, appropriate measures may be taken;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 991/84 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 485/86 (5), has already restricted the granting of the production aid where Williams pears preserved in syrup are concerned; whereas a Community guarantee threshold arrangement for pears in syrup of the varieties Williams and Rocha should be introduced of the same type as introduced for peaches in syrup by Regulation (EEC) No 2245/88 (6); whereas the threshold is to be determined on the basis of the quantities of Williams pears for which the production aid is granted and of the production volume for the Rocha variety in Portugal; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2245/88 should in consequence be supplemented and Regulation (EEC) No 991/84 repealed,
Regulation (EEC) No 2245/88 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The title is replaced by the following:
´Council Regulation (EEC) No 2245/88 of 19 July 1988 introducing guarantee threshold systems for peaches and pears in syrup and/or in natural fruit juice'.
2. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
´Article 1
1. A guarantee threshold of 502 000 tonnes net weight for peaches in syrup and/or in natural fruit juice falling within CN codes 2008 70 61, 2008 70 69, 2008 70 71, 2008 70 79, 2008 70 91 and 2008 70 99 is hereby set for each marketing year for the Community, except Spain.
2. A guarantee threshold of 102 805 tonnes of Williams and Rocha pears in syrup and/or in natural fruit juice falling within CN codes 2008 40 51, 2008 40 59, 2008 40 71, 2008 40 79, 2008 40 91 and 2008 40 99 is hereby set for each marketing year for the Community.
3. If the guarantee thresholds set in paragraphs 1 and 2 are overrun, the aid for the following marketing year shall be reduced in proportion to the overrun recorded for the product.
The overrun shall be calculated on the basis of the average of the quantities produced in the three marketing years preceding that for which the aid is to be fixed.'
Regulation (EEC) No 991/84 is hereby repealed.

Whereas Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 provides that preferential tariff treatment shall be accorded for 1993 for each category of products subjected in Annexes I and II thereto to individual ceilings, within the limits of the quantities specified in column 8 of Annex I and column 7 of Annex II, in respect of certain or each of the countries or territories of origin referred to in column 5 of the same Annexes;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3098/94 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 provides that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned; whereas that coefficient expresses the ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirituous beverage concerned on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirituous beverage in question; whereas, in view of the information provided by Ireland on the period 1 January to 31 December 1996, the average ageing period in 1996 was five years for Irish whiskey; whereas the coefficients for the period 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1998 should be fixed;
Whereas Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (3) precludes the grant of refunds for exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway; whereas, therefore, pursuant to Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, account should be taken of this in the calculation of the coefficient for 1997/98;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the period 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1998, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 applying to cereals used in Ireland for manufacturing Irish whiskey shall be as set out in the Annex.

COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 27 September 2010
authorising the Republic of Latvia to apply a measure derogating from Article 287 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
(2010/584/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 291(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1) (‘the VAT Directive’), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By letter registered with the Secretariat General of the Commission on 17 February 2010, Latvia requested authorisation for a measure derogating from Article 287(10) of the VAT Directive in order to exempt taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than EUR 50 000 (‘the measure’). The measure would release those taxable persons from certain or all of the value added tax (‘VAT’) obligations referred to in Chapters 2 to 6 of Title XI of the VAT Directive.
(2) In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 395(2) of the VAT Directive, the Commission informed the other Member States by letter dated 4 May 2010 of the request made by Latvia. By letter dated 7 May 2010, the Commission notified Latvia that it had all the information necessary to consider the request.
(3) A special scheme for small enterprises is an option which is already available to Member States under Title XII of the VAT Directive. The measure derogates from Title XII of the VAT Directive only insofar as the taxable person’s annual turnover threshold for the special scheme is higher than that currently allowed for Latvia under Article 287(10) of the VAT Directive, which is EUR 17 200.
(4) A higher threshold for the special scheme may significantly reduce the VAT obligations of the smallest businesses, whilst that special scheme is optional for taxable persons and allows businesses to opt for the normal VAT arrangements.
(5) In its proposal for a Directive simplifying value added tax obligations of 29 October 2004 (2), the Commission included provisions aimed at allowing Member States to set the annual turnover ceiling for the VAT exemption scheme at up to EUR 100 000 or the equivalent in national currency, with the possibility of updating this amount each year. The request submitted by Latvia is in line with this proposal.
(6) The derogation will have no impact on the Union’s own resources accruing from value added tax,
By way of derogation from Article 287(10) of Directive 2006/112/EC, the Republic of Latvia is authorised to exempt from VAT taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than the equivalent in national currency of EUR 50 000 at the conversion rate on the day of its accession to the European Union.
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its notification.
It shall expire on either the date of entry into force of a Directive amending the amounts of the annual turnover ceilings below which taxable persons may qualify for VAT exemption or on 31 December 2013, whichever date is earlier.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Latvia. | 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 the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 354 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Agreement on mutual fishery relations between the Government of the Portuguese Republic and the Government of the Republic of South Africa, signed on 9 April 1979, entered into force on that day for an initial period of 10 years; whereas the Agreement remains in force for an indeterminate period if it is not denounced by the giving of 12 months' notice;
Whereas Article 354 (2) of the Act of Accession lays down that the rights and obligations resulting from the fisheries agreements concluded by the Portuguese Republic with third countries shall not be affected during the period for which the provisions of such agreements are provisionally maintained;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 354 (3) of the said Act, the Council is to adopt, before the expiry of the fisheries agreements concluded by the Portuguese Republic with third countries, decisions appropriate for the continuation of fishing activities resulting therefrom, including the possibility of prolonging for periods not exceeding one year; whereas the abovementioned Agreement has been extended until 7 March 1997 (1);
Whereas, in order to avoid fishing by the Community vessels concerned being interrupted, it appears appropriate to authorize the Portuguese Republic to renew the Agreement in question until 7 March 1998,
The Portuguese Republic is hereby authorized to extend until 7 March 1998 the Agreement on mutual fishery relations with the Republic of South Africa which entered into force on 9 April 1979.

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 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 January 2006.

Whereas, by letter dated 17 July 1978, the United Kingdom Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Varian electrostatic printer/plotter, model 4115" should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, if the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3195/75, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 20 October 1978 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination shows that the apparatus in question is a curve tracer printer intended for use in the field of radiotherapy using a phototype automatic telecobalt unit ; whereas it is a multi-purpose apparatus which prints and represents graphically the results of research work or scientific analyses ; whereas it does not in itself have objective characteristics making it specially suited to pure scientific research and its use for research purposes in this particular instance cannot in itself give it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it cannot therefore be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Varian electrostatic printer/plotter, model 4115" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.

| COUNCIL DECISION
of 6 March 1986
terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of dead-burned (sintered) natural magnesite originating in the People's Republic of China and North Korea
(86/59/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
1. In June 1982 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the Greek producers of dead-burned natural magnesite whose collective output constitutes all Community production of the product in question. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of natural magnesite, dead-burned (sintered), corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 25.19-51, originating in the People's Republic of China and North Korea, and began an investigation.
2. The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 3542/82 (3), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of natural magnesite, dead-burned (sintered), with an MgO content varying between 85 and 92 % originating in the People's Republic of China and North Korea. Subsequently, the duty was extended for a period of two months by Regulation (EEC) No 991/83 (4).
3. In June 1983 the Commission submitted a proposal to the Council for the imposition of a definitive anti-dumping duty on the imports of the product concerned. The Council did not, however, adopt this proposal and the provisional duty expired on 30 June 1983.
4. Considering that the proceeding with regard to imports of dead-burned natural magnesite was still pending since it had not been terminated by the Council, the Commission continued the proceeding with regard to these imports. The Commission received from the complainants new prima facie evidence of dumping and renewed injury caused by the Chinese imports. A notice concerning the continuation of the investigation with regard to imports from the People's Republic of China and North Korea was published by the Commission (5).
B. Like product
5. The parties concerned expressed strongly conflicting opinions throughout the investigation concerning the comparability of the products originating in the exporting countries, those originating in the market economy third country (for determining normal value) and those originating in the Community. The
experts appointed by the Commission after the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty to make a study on this matter reached contradictory conclusions.
Subsequently, the Commission continued examining this problem mainly by contacting a significant number of users. However, given the findings with regard to injury (see recitals 6 to 8) it is not considered necessary to take a decision on this question.
C. Injury
6. With regard to the allegation of injury caused by the imports of the product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China and North Korea, the evidence available to the Commission shows that the imports into the Community, after having increased from approximately 82 500 tonnes in 1981 to almost 112 000 tonnes in 1982, decreased to approximately 73 000 tonnes in 1983 and further to approximately 61 000 tonnes in 1984, corresponding to an increase of 36 % between 1981 and 1982 but to a decrease of 35 % and 16 % respectively in 1983 and 1984.
7. As far as the possible impact of these imports on the Community industry is concerned, the following findings were made:
1. The production of the Community producers increased between 1981 and 1984 from approximately 73 000 tonnes to almost 153 000 tonnes, which corresponds to an increase of 110 %.
2. The utilization of the production capacity of each of the Community producers increased significantly between 1981 and 1984.
3. The sales of the Community producers on the Community market increased from approximately 42 000 tonnes in 1981 to approximately 60 000 tonnes in 1984 corresponding to an increase of 43 %.
4. The market share held by the Community producers increased from 15,4 % in 1981 to 19,4 % in 1984, whereas the market share held by the products concerned originating in the People's Republic of China and North Korea decreased from 30,4 % in 1981 to 19,7 % in 1984.
5. The average sales prices of the Community producers on the Community market increased by 27 % between 1981 and 1984.
6. The profitability of two Community producers improved significantly between 1981 and 1984, but that of the third producer did not. However, the financial difficulties of this company, which have existed for many years, were due mainly to a number of factors unrelated to the imports concerned.
7. The number of people employed by the Community producers increased by 20 % between 1981 and 1984.
8. In the light of these findings it is considered that the Community industry is no longer suffering material injury from the imports of the product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China and North Korea.
D. Dumping
9. In view of the above findings with respect to injury the Commission considered it unnecessary to further investigate the allegation of dumping with regard to the imports concerned since anti-dumping measures may in general only be taken where examination shows that there has been dumping during the period under investigation, that material injury has been caused thereby and that the interests of the Community call for such measures.
10. In these circumstances it is considered appropriate that the proceeding be terminated without the imposition of protective measures.
11. However, as objections to this course of action were raised in the Advisory Committee by one Member State, the proceeding was not terminated by the Commission, but a proposal to that effect was submitted by the Commission to the Council.
12. The complainants were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate this proceeding. Subsequently, the complainants commented in writing and orally upon this information,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of dead-burned (sintered) natural magnesite originating in the People's Republic of China and North Korea is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

(2) Given the present situation on the market in beef and veal, export refunds should therefore be set in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Articles 162 to 164 and 167 to 170 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the refund may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that bear the health mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(a) of 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). Those products must also satisfy the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3) and 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 (4).
(5) The conditions laid down in the third subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1359/2007 of 21 November 2007 laying down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of boned meat of bovine animals (5) provide for a reduction of the special refund if the quantity of cuts of boned meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by boning.
(6) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1044/2008 (6) should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new regulation.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 164 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
2. The products eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 must meet the relevant requirements of Regulations (EC) Nos 852/2004 and 853/2004, notably preparation in an approved establishment and compliance with the health marking requirements laid down in Annex I, Section I, Chapter III to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004.
In the case referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1359/2007, the rate of the refund on products falling within product code 0201 30 00 9100 shall be reduced by EUR 7/100 kg.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 18 December 2008
rejecting the proposal from the Commission for a Council Regulation implementing Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the use of antimicrobial substances to remove surface contamination from poultry carcasses
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/121/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 202 thereof,
Having regard 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 (1), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission for a Council Regulation implementing Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 as regards the use of antimicrobial substances to remove surface contamination from poultry carcasses,
Having regard to Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators. It provides that food business operators are not to use any substance other than water to remove surface contamination from products of animal origin, unless the use of such substance has been approved in accordance with that Regulation.
(2) A high level of protection of human health should be assured in the pursuit of Community policies. Measures adopted by the Community governing food and feed must be based on an appropriate assessment of the possible risks for human and animal health and must, taking into account existing scientific evidence, maintain, or if scientifically justified, increase the level of protection of human and animal health ensured in the Community. High hygiene standards throughout the food production chain and avoidance or prohibition on the use of substances which can potentially mask poor hygiene practices are a key priority in the Community.
(3) In addition, a high level of protection of the environment should be ensured in the pursuit of Community policies, both by acts of environmental policy itself and by the integration of environmental policy requirements into the definition and implementation of other Community policies and activities.
(4) The Commission proposal underlines that several antimicrobial substances such as chlorine dioxide, acidified sodium chlorite, trisodium phosphate or peroxyacids that are used to remove surface contamination from poultry carcasses can pose a risk to the aquatic environment, the health of staff working in waste water systems and the operation and performance of sewerage systems and/or waste water treatment plants. The use of antimicrobial substances containing chlorine can also lead to the formation of chloroorganic compounds, several of which are persistent, bioaccumulable or carcinogenic. Phosphorus compounds are also one of the sources of the eutrophication of European regional seas, leading to mass growth algae and other undesirable disturbance of the aquatic environment.
(5) The Scientific Committee on Veterinary Measures relating to Public Health (SCVPH) issued a report on 30 October 1998 on the ‘benefits and limitations of antimicrobial treatments for poultry carcasses’ and recommended that before any decontamination compound or decontamination technique is authorised for use, it should be fully assessed.
(6) The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted a scientific opinion on 14-15 December 2005‘on the evaluation of the efficacy of peroxyacids for use as an antimicrobial substance applied on poultry carcasses’. It concluded that the efficacy of peroxyacids was difficult to assess because the protocols submitted were not always clearly described, and, even if they were, would not be sufficient to demonstrate the efficacy of peroxyacids under commercial conditions.
(7) The EFSA adopted a scientific opinion on 6 March 2008‘on the assessment of possible effect of the chlorine dioxide, acidified sodium chlorite, trisodium phosphate and peroxyacids on the emergence of antimicrobial resistance’. The findings led the EFSA to encourage further research on the likelihood of the emergence of susceptibility to these types of substances, and the possibility of their resistance to therapeutic antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents.
(8) The Scientific Committee on Health and Environmental Risks (SCHER) and the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) adopted a joint scientific opinion on 18 March 2008 and 2 April 2008 on the environmental impact and effect on the antimicrobial resistance of the four substances used for the removal of microbial surface contamination of poultry carcasses. They stated that ‘there is currently insufficient knowledge on the potential negative effects of using different biocides’ and concluded that there was not enough information available for producing comprehensive quantitative assessments. There were environmental concerns about the possibility to disseminate or select more resistant strains and in relation to the potential residues in the poultry carcasses.
(9) Taking into account scientific information available, it cannot be excluded that the approval of theses substances may lead to an increased antimicrobial resistance in humans.
(10) The emergence of antimicrobial resistance is also a major and permanent concern of international bodies involved in human medicine. The Commission has taken various important legislative initiatives aiming at reducing antimicrobial resistance linked to feed, veterinary treatment of animals and food.
(11) Likewise the Council adopted, at its session of 9 and 10 June 2008, Council conclusions on antimicrobial resistance stressing that antimicrobial resistance is still a growing European and global health problem.
(12) The European Parliament, in its resolution of 19 June 2008, voiced its disapproval of the Commission proposal for the reasons stated above and called on the Council to reject it.
(13) The lack of scientific data in relation to hazards related to the use of these substances leads to the application of the precautionary principle as referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (3). According to this principle, in specific circumstances where, following an assessment of available information, the possibility of harmful effects on health is identified but scientific uncertainty persists, provisional risk management measures necessary to ensure the high level of health protection chosen in the Community may be adopted, pending further scientific information for a more comprehensive risk assessment.
(14) Data collection by food business operators and research programmes should therefore be encouraged so that both the efficacy of these substances and the development of antimicrobial resistances as well as possible environmental impact could be fully assessed. For this purpose, the EFSA has published a joint AFC/BIOHAZ guidance document (4) on the submission of data for the evaluation of the safety and the efficacy of substances for the removal of microbial surface contamination of foods of animal origin. Pending the collection and evaluation of such data, the Council considers it necessary to await the outcome thereof and, in the meantime, to reject the Commission’s proposal,
The proposal from the Commission for a Council Regulation implementing Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the use of antimicrobial substances to remove surface contamination from poultry carcasses is rejected.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3247/81 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3045/82 (4), lays down rules and conditions governing the annual accounts used in determining the expenditure to be financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section which is incurred by intervention measures in respect of which a unit amount has not been fixed under a common organization of the market;
Whereas the operation of the intervention system, that is the buying in, storage and sale of agricultural products by the intervention agencies, should be such that the transport of such products outside the Member State in question is an unusual occurrence; whereas, in cases where this becomes unavoidable, the financing of such transport operations by the Community should be reviewed case by case,
Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3247/81 is hereby replaced by the following:
'2. Without prejudice to the rules laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1055/77 of 17 May 1977 on the storage and movement of products bought in by an intervention agency (1), the costs arising from transport operations outside the territory of a Member State be entered on the debit side of the accounts only if such operations have been approved under this Regulation in accordance with the procedure referred to in paragraph 1 and, as and when required, have been reviewed by the EAGGF Committee.'

Whereas, by Regulations (EC) No 3466/93 (1), (EC) No 3672/93 (2), (EC) No 845/94 (3) and (EC) No 1502/94 (4), the Council opened for 1994, Community tariff quotas for certain products, and in particular ferro-chromium (order No 09.2711), polyvinylpyrrolidone (order No 09.2731), cod (order No 09.2753), mushrooms of the species Auricularia polytricha (order No 09.2849), molybdenum chrome steel (order No 09.2865) and benzene-1, 2, 4-tricarboxylic acid 1,2-anhydride (order No 09.2883);
Whereas current economic data suggests that Community demand for non-Community imports of the products in question could in the course of the year exceed the volumes laid down in the said Regulations; whereas the volumes of the abovementioned quotas should therefore be increased and the period of validity for the quota with order No 09.2865 should be prolonged by six months,
For order Nos 09.2711, 09.2731, 09.2753, 09.2849, 09.2865 and 09.2883 the tables in Article 1 of Regulations (EC) No 3466/93, (EC) No 3672/93, (EC) No 845/94 and (EC) No 1502/94 shall be respectively replaced by the following table:

(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 43/2012 of 17 January 2012 fixing for 2012 the fishing opportunities available to EU vessels for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks which are not subject to international negotiations or agreements (2), lays down quotas for 2012.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2012.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing activities for that stock,
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein for 2012 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Prohibitions
Fishing activities for the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein shall be prohibited from the date set out in that Annex.

This information should therefore be updated.
(2) The planned amendments should be applied from 1 January 2001 to ensure that prices on the representative markets remain comparable over the calendar year and to allow the representative market in Spain to be changed as of 1 July 2000.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 210/69 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 587/96 (4), provides for information on the management of the market in milk products to be sent regularly to the Commission; whereas since July 1995 the implementation of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations requires additional or more detailed information to be provided on exports, in particular with regard to licence applications and the way licences are used, in order to ensure compliance with undertakings under the Agreement; whereas under that Agreement food-aid exports are not subject to the constraints applying to subsidized exports; whereas it should be stipulated that communications relating to export licence applications must accordingly specify which licence applications cover food-aid supplies;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 823/96 (6), lays down special detailed rules of application in particular governing exports of certain cheeses to Switzerland; whereas provision should be made for the relevant information to be forwarded;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1368/2004
of 29 July 2004
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 15 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
(2) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(3) However in the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.
(4) Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account should be taken, where necessary, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the market in the product in question to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 or to assimilated products.
(5) Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.
(6) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice cream and other foodstuffs (3), lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.
(7) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 shall, in respect of the products listed in the Annex to this Regulation, be fixed in accordance with that Annex.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3700/83 of 22 December 1983 laying down the arrangements applicable to trade with Cyprus beyond 31 December 1983 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3682/85 (2), provides, for the period 1 April to 15 May 1987 for the opening of a Community tariff quota of 2 500 tonnes of carrots, falling within subheading ex 07.01 G II of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Cyprus, at a rate of customs duty equal to 40 % of the customs duty in the Common Customs Tariff; whereas the Community tariff quota should therefore be opened for this period;
Whereas, in accordance with Articles 180 and 367 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, the Council adopted Regulation (EEC) No 449/86 determining the arrangements to be applied by the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to trade with certain third countries (3); whereas this Regulation applies therefore to the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure to all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the abovementioned quota to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States, until the quota has been used up; whereas, however, since the period of application of the quota is very short, it seems possible to avoid allocating it among the Member States, without prejudice to the drawing against the quota volume of such quantities as they may need, in the conditions and according to the procedure specified in Article 1 (2); whereas this method of management requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission; whereas the latter must, in particular, be able to monitor the rate at which the quota is used up and inform the Member States thereof;
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 relating to the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 April to 15 May 1987, the customs duty on the import into the Community as constitued on 31 December 1985 for the following products shall be suspended at a level and within the limits of a Community tariff quota as follows:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CCT heading No // Description // Quota volume (tonnes) // Quota duty (%) // // // // // // 09.1403 // ex 07.01 G II // Carrots, originating in Cyprus // 2 500 // 6,8 // // // // //
The Protocol on the definition of the concept of originating products and on the methods of administrative cooperation (4), annexed to the Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Cyprus, shall be applicable.
2. If an importer notifies an imminent importation of the product in question in a Member State and requests the benefit of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to these requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve permits this.
3. The shares drawn pursuant to paragraph 2 shall be valid until the end of the quota period.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that their drawings pursuant to Article 1 (2) are carried out in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.
2. Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the said quota have free access to the quota so long as the residual balance of the quota volume allows this.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the said goods against their shares as and when the goods are entered for free circulation.
4. The extent to which the quota has been exhausted shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the request of the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against the quota.
The Member States and the Commission shall collaborate closely in order to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 1987.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Whereas the protection of the financial interests at risk in those operations makes it necessary to maintain the same measures for a further period of 12 months, for Common transit as for Community transit, in order to ensure maximum effectiveness;

After consultation of the Scientific Committee on Cosmetology,
Whereas the available scientific data indicate that the polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) level in refined coal tar are in the same range as the PAHs level in crude coal tar; whereas several studies show that PAHs enter the skin exposed to coal tars, which may lead to dermal and systemic carcinogenesis; whereas numerous PAHs are genotoxic carcinogens, and consequently no safe level can be established, the use of crude and refine coal tars in cosmetic products should be prohibited;
Whereas a further toxicological evaluation, based on new data submitted by industry, of benzethonium chloride, shows that an acceptable safety margin is obtained as long as its use is limited to preservatives, at a limited concentration and for a reduced time of contact with the skin;
Whereas, on the basis of the latest scientific and technical research, octyl methoxycinnamate may be used as an UV filter in cosmetic products;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Directive on the removal of technical barriers to trade in the cosmetics products sector,
Directive 76/768/EEC is hereby amended as shown in the Annex.

2. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the products referred to in paragraph 1 containing the substances set out in the Annex shall not be sold or otherwise supplied to the final consumer after 30 June 1999.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive no later than 30 June 1998. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
When Member States adopt these provisions, these shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference at the time of their official publications. The procedure for such reference shall be adopted by the Member States.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/18/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2266/2000(4), provides for the adoption of a list of active substances of plant protection products to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list is contained in Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94 of 27 April 1994 laying down the active substances of plant protection products and designating the rapporteur Member States for the implementation of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2230/95(6), and includes ethofumesate.
(2) For ethofumesate the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. By Regulation (EC) No 933/94, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 491/95(7), Sweden was designated as rapporteur Member State. Sweden submitted the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the Commission on 2 October 1998 in accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(3) This assessment report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The review was finalised on 26 February 2002 in the format of the Commission review report for ethofumesate.
(4) The review did not reveal any open questions or concerns, which would have required a consultation of the Scientific Committee on Plants.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing ethofumesate may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include ethofumesate in Annex I to that Directive, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations of plant protection products containing ethofumesate can be granted in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(6) The Commission review report is required for the proper implementation by the Member States, of several sections of the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC. It is, therefore, appropriate to provide that the finalised review report, except for confidential information, is kept available or made available by the Member States for consultation by any interested parties. If the review report has to be updated to take account of technical and scientific developments, the conditions for the inclusion of the substance concerned in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC should also be amended in accordance with that Directive.
(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to take the requisite preparatory steps.
(8) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period within which to implement the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC as regards plant protection products containing ethofumesate, and in particular, to review existing authorisations in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC to ensure that the conditions regarding ethofumesate set out in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are satisfied. A longer period should be provided within which a complete dossier for each such plant protection product, satisfying the requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC should be submitted and that product re-evaluated in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(9) It is therefore necessary to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall keep available the review report for ethofumesate, except for confidential information within the meaning of Article 14 of Directive 91/414/EEC, for consultation by any interested parties or shall make it available to them on specific request.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 August 2003 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 September 2003.
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.
1. Member States shall review the authorisation for each plant protection product containing ethofumesate to ensure that the conditions relating to ethofumesate set out in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are complied with. Where necessary, they shall amend or withdraw the authorisation in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC before 1 September 2003.
2. Member States shall, for each authorised plant protection product containing ethofumesate as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 1 March 2003, re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III thereto. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC. Where necessary and by 28 February 2007 at the latest, they shall amend or withdraw the authorisation for each such plant protection product.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 March 2003.

(2) The requirements in the legislation of Kazakhstan on health inspection and monitoring of fishery products may be considered equivalent to those laid down in Directive 91/493/EEC.
(3) In particular, the "Committee of Forestry, Fishing and Hunting (CFFH) of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Protection" is capable of effectively verifying the implementation of the legislation in force.
(4) It is appropriate to lay down detailed rules concerning the health certificate which must, under Directive 91/493/EEC, accompany consignments of fishery products imported into the Community from Kazakhstan. In particular those rules must specify the definition of a model certificate, the minimum requirements regarding the language or languages in which it must be drafted and the status of the person empowered to sign it.
(5) The mark which must be affixed to packages of fishery products should give the name of the third country and the approval/registration number of the establishment, factory vessel, cold store or freezer vessel of origin, except for certain frozen products.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 (2), and in particular Articles 14 and 16 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/118/EEC of 17 December 1992 laying down animal health and public health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of products not subject to the said requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred in Annex A (1) to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90/425/EEC (3), as last amended by Commission Decision 94/723/EC (4), and in particular point (c) of Article 10 (2) in conjunction with Chapter 10 of Annex I,
Whereas Commission Decision 82/425/EEC (5), as last amended by Decision 92/453/EEC (6), lays down the animal health conditions and veterinary certification of imports of fresh meat from Czechoslovakia;
Whereas, following the partition of this country, it is necessary to lay down the animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from the Czech Republic and to revoke Decision 82/425/EEC;
Whereas, following a Community veterinary mission, it appears that the animal health situation in the Czech Republic compares favourably with that in Member States particularly as regards diseases transmissible through meat; whereas, however, the Czech authorities have submitted a plan to control classical swine fever in the districts of Benesov, Ceske Budejovice, Havlickuv Brod, Jihlava, Jindrichuv, Hradec, Pelhrimov, Písek, Tábor, Trebic and Zdár nad Sazavou;
Whereas, in addition, the responsible veterinary authorities of the Czech Republic have confirmed that the Czech Republic has for at least 12 months been free from rinderpest, foot-and-mouth disease, African swine fever, swine vesicular disease, porcine enteroviral encephalomyelitis (Teschen disease); whereas vaccinations against the above diseases and classical swine fever have not taken place for at least 12 months; whereas outbreaks of classical swine fever have occurred in parts of the country and therefore imports of fresh meat of the porcine species should be authorized for human consumption only from those districts which are free of this disease and which are not included in the classical swine fever control area;
Whereas other health conditions must be established for meat not intended for human consumption in accordance with the provisions of Directive 92/118/EEC and Commission Decision 89/18/EEC of 22 December 1988 (7), concerning importation from third countries of fresh meat for purposes other than human consumption;
Whereas the responsible authorities of the Czech Republic have undertaken to notify the Commission and the Member States within 24 hours, by fax, telex or telegram of the confirmation of the occurrence of any of the abovementioned diseases or an alteration in the vaccination policy against them; whereas the authorities have also undertaken to notify the Commission every six months with updated information on the classical swine fever control plan;
Whereas animal health conditions and veterinary certification must be adapted according to the animal health situation of the non-member country concerned;
Whereas considering that a new certification regime is hereby established, a period of time should be provided for its implementation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. Member States shall authorize the importation of the following categories of fresh meat from the Czech Republic:
(a) fresh meat of domestic animals of the bovine, ovine or caprine species, conforming to the guarantees laid down in the animal health certificate in accordance with Annex A, which must accompany the consignment;
(b) fresh meat of domestic solipeds, conforming to the guarantees laid down in the animal health certificate in accordance with Annex B, which must accompany the consignment;
(c) fresh meat of domestic animals of the porcine species for human consumption, conforming to the guarantees laid down in the animal health certificate in accordance with Annex C, which must accompany the consignment.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States shall authorize the importation of fresh pigmeat from the Czech Republic for purposes other than human consumption. Member States shall ensure that such imports meet the conditions of Decision 89/18/EEC and Directive 92/118/EEC and conform to the guarantees laid down in the animal health certificate in accordance with Annex D, which must accompany each consignment.
After arriving in the territory of the Community and during manufacture, the raw material shall be sterilized in hermetically-sealed containers in such a way as to achieve a minimum Fc value of 3; a veterinary check shall be made to ensure that the finished product has actually achieved that value.
This Decision shall not apply to imports of glands and organs authorized by the country of destination for phamarceutical manufactuirng purposes.
Decision 82/425/EEC is hereby repealed.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), and in particular Article 7 (7) (b) and (c),
Whereas Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 lays down that intervention measures in the form of the buying in of sheepmeat may be taken where the price recorded pursuant to Article 4 of that Regulation is equal to or less than the seasonally-adjusted intervention price and, at the same time, the price recorded on the representative markets of a given region is lower than that price ; whereas, moreover, paragraph 4 of the same Article provides that the said intervention measures may be taken only in respect of qualities whose price is below a buying-in price calculated on the basis of the seasonally-adjusted intervention price ; whereas, finally, paragraph 5 of the same Article provides that intervention buying in is to be suspended where the price recorded pursuant to Article 4 is, for a certain period, above the seasonally-adjusted intervention price ; whereas it is desirable to fix the said period at two consecutive weeks;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organization of the market in bananas (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Articles 16 (3), 20 and 30 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1164/95 (4), lays down the detailed rules for applying the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community;
Whereas in August and September 1995 the tropical storms Iris, Luis and Marilyn caused severe damage to the banana plantations in the Community regions of Martinique and Guadeloupe and in the ACP States of Saint Vincent, Saint Lucia and Dominica; whereas the effects of these exceptional circumstances on production in the regions affected will be felt until July 1996 and will greatly affect imports and supplies to the Community markets during the fourth quarter of 1995; whereas this is likely to cause an appreciable increase in market prices in certain regions of the Community;
Whereas Article 16 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 stipulates that where necessary, in particular to take account of the effects of exceptional circumstances affecting production or import conditions, the forecast supply balance may be adjusted and, in such a case, the tariff quota is adapted;
Whereas the adaptation of the tariff quota must permit adequate supplies to the Community market during the fourth quarter of 1995 and provide compensation to operators who include or directly represent banana producers who suffered damage and who, in addition, in the absence of appropriate measures, risk losing their traditional outlets on the Community market on a long-term basis;
Whereas the measures to be taken should have a specific transitional nature, within the meaning of Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93; whereas, prior to the entry into force of the new common market organization on 1 July 1993, existing national market organizations, in order to cope with urgent cases or exceptional circumstances such as the tropical storms cited above, included provisions ensuring supplies to the market from other suppliers while safeguarding the interests of operators who are victims of such exceptional events;
Whereas also, under the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, the Community negotiated an agreement which provides for the implementation of a provision for the reallocation of supplies which is intended to overcome such exceptional circumstances and which will safeguard the interests of operators in the supplier countries which have suffered such damage; whereas this agreement applies from 1 January 1995;
Whereas, the Community producer regions and the ACP States which suffer such exceptional circumstances should be able to benefit from comparable measures; whereas the measures should include the granting of the right to import in compensation third-country bananas and non-traditional ACP bananas for the benefit of the operators who directly suffered damage as a result of the impossibility of supplying the Community market with bananas originating in affected producer regions; whereas, in addition, provision should be made for the quantities marketed on the Community market pursuant to this measure to be taken into consideration, in due course, for determining the reference quantities for the operators concerned for the tariff quotas for future years; whereas these measures should be to the benefit of the operators who have directly suffered actual damage, without the possibility of compensation, and as a function of the extent of the damage;
Whereas the competent authorities in the Member States where the operators concerned are established are the only authorities capable of determining those who should benefit from the measure in view of their experience and their knowledge of the actual characteristics of the trade in question and to assess the damage on the basis of the supporting documentation provided by the operators;
Whereas, in view of their objectives, the provisions of this Regulation must enter into force immediately;
Whereas the Management Committee for Bananas has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. The tariff quota fixed for 1995 is increased by an additional quantity of 90 800 tonnes (net weight).
2. This additional quantity of 90 800 tonnes (net weight) shall be allocated to the operators determined in accordance with Article 2 below as follows:
(a) 22 000 tonnes for operators supplying the Community with bananas produced in Martinique;
(b) 46 000 tonnes for operators supplying the Community with bananas produced in Guadeloupe;
(c) 22 800 tonnes for operators supplying the Community with bananas produced in the Windward Islands (Saint Lucia, Dominica and Saint Vincent).
1. The quantities referred to in Article 1 (2) shall be allocated to the operators who:
- include or directly represent banana producers affected by the tropical storms Iris, Luis and Marilyn,
- and who, during the fourth quarter of 1995, are unable to supply, on their own account, the Community market with bananas originating in the regions or countries referred to in Article 1 (2) on account of the damage caused by these tropical storms.
2. The competent authorities in the Member States concerned shall determine the beneficiary operators who meet the requirements of paragraph 1 and shall make an allocation to each of them pursuant to this Regulation on the basis of:
- the quantities allocated to the producer regions or countries referred to in Article 1 (2), and of - the damage sustained as a result of the tropical storms Iris, Luis and Marilyn.
3. The competent authorities shall assess the damage sustained on the basis of all supporting documents and information collected from the operators concerned.
1. The Member States concerned shall inform the Commission by 16 October 1995 at the latest of the quantities of bananas for which a proposal for an allocation pursuant to this Regulation has been made.
2. If the overall quantity for which proposals for allocations in connection with the tropical storms Iris, Luis and Marilyn are made exceeds the quantity additional to the tariff quota fixed in Article 1 (1), the Commission shall fix a uniform percentage reduction to be applied to all allocations.
3. Tropical storms Iris, Luis and Marilyn import licences shall be issued not later than 23 October 1995 and shall be valid until 31 January 1996.
The words 'Tropical storms Iris, Luis and Marilyn licence' shall be entered in box 20 of the licence.
The quantities of bananas released for free circulation issued in accordance with this Regulation on the basis of tropical storms Iris, Luis and Marilyn import licences shall be taken into consideration for the purpose of determining the reference quantity of each operator concerned, as regards 1995, for the application of Articles 3 to 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/93.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2)(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The active substances aluminium silicate, hydrolysed proteins and 1,4-diaminobutane (putrescine) were included in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) by Commission Directive 2008/127/EC (3) in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 24b of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 of 3 December 2004 laying down further detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC (4). Since the replacement of Directive 91/414/EEC by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, these substances are deemed to have been approved under that Regulation and are listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (5).
(2) In accordance with Article 25a of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004, the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, presented to the Commission its views on the draft review reports for aluminium silicate (6), hydrolysed proteins (7) and 1,4-diaminobutane (putrescine) (8) on 16 December 2011. The draft review reports and the views of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 1 June 2012 in the format of the Commission review reports for aluminium silicate, hydrolysed proteins and 1,4-diaminobutane (putrescine).
(3) The Authority communicated its views on aluminium silicate, hydrolysed proteins and 1,4-diaminobutane (putrescine) to the notifiers, and the Commission invited them to submit comments on the review reports.
(4) It is confirmed that the active substances aluminium silicate, hydrolysed proteins and 1,4-diaminobutane (putrescine) are to be deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
(5) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is necessary to amend the conditions of approval of aluminium silicate, hydrolysed proteins and 1,4-diaminobutane (putrescine). It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information as regards aluminium silicate and hydrolysed proteins. At the same time certain technical adaptations should be made, in particular the name of the active substance ‧putrescin (1,4-diaminobutane)‧ should be replaced by ‧1,4-diaminobutane (putrescine)‧. The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) A reasonable period of time should be allowed before the application of this Regulation in order to allow Member States, notifiers and holders of authorisations for plant protection products to meet the requirements resulting from amendment to the conditions of the approval.
(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,
Part A of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72 (2).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(2)(c) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular the second paragraph of Article 101 thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On 15 June 2009, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations with the Republic of Moldova for the conclusion of a new agreement between the Union and the Republic of Moldova to replace the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (1).
(2) Taking into account the close historical relationship and progressively closer links between the Parties, as well as their desire to strengthen and widen relations in an ambitious and innovative way, the negotiations on the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Moldova, of the other part (‘the Agreement’), were successfully finalised by the initialling of the Agreement on 29 November 2013.
(3) On 10 March 2014, the Commission proposed to the Council that the Agreement should be signed on behalf of the Union and applied in part on a provisional basis in accordance with Article 464 of the Agreement, pending its conclusion at a later date.
(4) The Agreement covers matters falling under the European Atomic Energy Community competence, namely those listed in point (i) of Article 77 of the Agreement.
(5) The Agreement should therefore be concluded, on behalf of the European Atomic Energy Community, as regards matters falling under the Euratom Treaty.
(6) The signature and conclusion of the Agreement are subject to a separate procedure as regards matters falling under the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
(7) According to Article 102 of the Euratom Treaty, the Agreement is not to enter into force for the European Atomic Energy Community until the Commission has been notified by the Member States that the Agreement has become applicable in accordance with the provisions of their respective national laws.
(8) The conclusion of the Agreement by the Commission, acting on behalf of the European Atomic Energy Community, should therefore be approved,
The conclusion by the European Commission, on behalf of the European Atomic Energy Community, of the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Moldova, of the other part, is hereby approved (2).
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its adoption. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products(1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC(2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission is required to select, as between the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety. This means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria set out in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approval certification body is required.
(2) Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined shall be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications. It is therefore desirable to identify the products referred to in the technical specifications.
(3) The two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC. It is therefore necessary to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures shall be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems.
(4) The procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III. The procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of Section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby the manufacturer has under its sole responsibility a factory production control system ensuring that the product is in conformity with the relevant technical specifications.
The products set out in Annex II shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex III shall be indicated in the relevant European technical approvals.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 129/2004
of 26 January 2004
fixing the export refunds on pigmeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1365/2000(2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for these products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in pigmeat that the refund should be fixed as set out below.
(3) In the case of products falling within CN code 0210 19 81, the refund should be limited to an amount which takes account of the qualitative characteristics of each of the products falling within these codes and of the foreseeable trend of production costs on the world market. It is important that the Community should continue to take part in international trade in the case of certain typical Italian products falling within CN code 0210 19 81.
(4) Because of the conditions of competition in certain third countries, which are traditionally importers of products falling within CN codes 1601 00 and 1602, the refund for these products should be fixed so as to take this situation into account. Steps should be taken to ensure that the refund is granted only for the net weight of the edible substances, to the exclusion of the net weight of the bones possibly contained in the said preparations.
(5) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 according to destination.
(6) The refunds should be fixed taking account of the amendments to the refund nomenclature established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 118/2003(4).
(7) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to circulate freely within the Community. Therefore, to be eligible for a refund, products should be required to bear the health mark laid down in Council Directive 64/433/EEC(5), as last amended by Directive 95/23/EC(6), Council Directive 94/65/EC(7) and Council Directive 77/99/EEC(8), as last amended by Directive 97/76/EC(9).
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The list of products on which the export refund specified in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 is granted and the amount of the refund shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
The products concerned must comply with the relevant provisions on health marks laid down in:
- Chapter XI of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC,
- Chapter VI of Annex I to Directive 94/65/EC,
- Chapter VI of Annex B to Directive 77/99/EEC.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 January 2004.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 of 5 February 1982 on common rules for imports (1), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1243/86 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee set up by Article 5 of that Regulation,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2819/79 (3), the period of validity of which was last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3980/86 (4), makes imports of certain textile products originating in certain non-member countries subject to Community surveillance;
Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 1782/80 (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3981/86 (6), the Commission established Community surveillance of imports of cotton yarn (category 1) originating in Egypt, on the basis of administrative cooperation between the Community and the Arab Republic of Egypt;
Whereas this administrative cooperation has been extended to certain additional textile products (categories 2, 4 and 20) originating in Egypt; whereas it is therefore appropriate to amend Regulation (EEC) No 1782/80,
The Annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 1782/80 are replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to Decision No 1/77 of the EEC-Turkey Association Council of 17 May 1977 on new concessions for imports of Turkish agricultural products into the Community, and in particular Annex IV thereto,

Whereas the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Republic of Turkey fixing, from 1 January 1994, the additional amount to be deducted from the levy or the customs duties on imports into the Community of untreated olive oil originating in Turkey, should be approved;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1) abolishes application of a correcting factor of 1,207509 applied to the agricultural conversion rates up to 31 January 1995; whereas it is therefore necessary, taking account of the operative event for the agricultural conversion rate to be used, to provide for an amount for the period ending on 31 January 1995 and an amount applicable as from 1 February 1995,
The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Republic of Turkey fixing, from 1 January 1994, the additional amount to be deducted from the levy or the customs duties on imports into the Community of untreated olive oil originating in Turkey, is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.

Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 147/2003 (2) imposes a general ban on the provision of financing, financial assistance, technical advice, assistance or training related to military activities to any person, entity or body in Somalia.
(2) On 5 March 2014, the UN Security Council adopted UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2142 (2014) reaffirming the arms embargo on Somalia and renewing, until 25 October 2014, its determination that the arms embargo is not to apply to deliveries of weapons, ammunition or military equipment or to the provision of advice, assistance or training intended solely for the development of the Security Forces of the Federal Government of Somalia to provide security for the Somali people, except in relation to deliveries of certain items as set out in the Annex to UNSCR 2111 (2013) which require an advance approval by the Sanctions Committee established pursuant to UNSCR 751 (1992).
(3) UNSCR 2142 (2014) modifies the notification requirements in relation to deliveries of weapons, ammunition or military equipment or the provision of advice, assistance or training to Somalia's Security Forces, as well as for the exemption procedure in relation to deliveries of items set out in the Annex to UNSCR 2111 (2013).

(5) Regulation (EC) No 147/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 147/2003 is hereby amended as follows:
a(e) is replaced by the following:
‘(e) the provision of financing, financial assistance, technical advice, assistance or training relating to military activities, except in relation to the items set out in Annex III, if the following conditions are met:

(3) The German authorities have authorised the use of a live attenuated vaccine against classical swine fever (C strain) to be used for the immunisation of feral pigs by means of oral baits.
(4) The submitted plans have been examined and found to comply with the provisions of Directive 2001/89/EC.
(5) In relation to the classical swine fever situation in the feral pigs in certain areas of Germany, by means of Decisions 1999/335/EC(2) and 2002/161/EC(3), the Commission approved the plans presented by Germany for the eradication of classical swine fever and for the emergency vaccination of feral pigs in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland. Decision 2002/161/EC also establishes certain conditions on trade of live pigs and certain pig products from the areas in which the evolution of the disease would probably be influenced by the vaccination.
(6) In accordance with the plans already approved by the Commission and the ones referring to North Rhine-Westfalia vaccination is to be applied in a single area which includes some bordering areas of Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and North Rhine-Westfalia.
(7) For the sake of clarity, it is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2002/161/EC to include under the approval the new plans submitted by Germany referring to North Rhine-Westfalia and to ensure that the same conditions are applied in the whole area within which the evolution of the disease will probably be influenced by the vaccination.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Article 1 of Decision 2002/161/EC is replaced by the following Article: "Article 1
The plans submitted by Germany for the eradication of classical swine fever in feral pigs in Saarland and North Rhine-Westfalia are hereby approved."
Article 2 of Decision 2002/161/EC is replaced by the following Article: "Article 2
The plans submitted by Germany for emergency vaccination of feral pigs in Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and North Rhine-Westfalia are hereby approved."
The Annex to Decision 2002/161/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 613/2013
of 25 June 2013
amending Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 as regards additional active substances of biocidal products to be examined under the review programme
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) sets out, in Annex II, an exhaustive list of existing active substances to be evaluated under the work programme for the systematic examination of active substances already on the market (hereinafter referred to as the ‘review programme’) and prohibits the placing on the market of biocidal products containing active substance/product-type combinations which are not listed in that Annex or in Annex I or IA to Directive 98/8/EC, or for which the Commission has taken a non-inclusion decision.
(2) The list in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 includes existing active substance/product-type combinations which were notified in accordance with Article 4(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1896/2000 of 7 September 2000 on the first phase of the programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on biocidal products (3), in which a Member State has indicated an interest in accordance with Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1896/2000, or for which a dossier was submitted by 1 March 2006 and accepted as complete.
(3) The definitions of ‘biocidal products’ in point (a) of Article 2(1) of Directive 98/8/EC and of active substance in point (d) of Article 2(1) of that Directive, and the product-type descriptions in Annex V to that Directive, have been interpreted differently. In some cases, the common understanding shared between the Commission and the competent authorities designated in accordance with Article 26 of Directive 98/8/EC has changed over time. In particular, the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 1 March 2012 in case C-420/10, Söll GmbH v Tetra GmbH
(4), clarified that the concept of ‘biocidal products’ must be interpreted as including certain products which act only by indirect means on the target harmful organisms.
(4) Persons relying on guidance notes published, or written advice given, by the Commission or by a competent authority designated in accordance with Article 26 of Directive 98/8/EC may therefore have failed to notify the existing active substance/product-type combination in a product placed on the market, or to take over the role of participant, in the objectively justified belief that the product is excluded from the scope of Directive 98/8/EC or that it falls under a different product-type.
(5) Those persons should have the possibility of submitting a dossier for examination under the review programme in such cases, subject, where relevant, to prior notification, in order to avoid the market withdrawal of products for which a justified interpretation as regards its character as a biocidal product or its correct product-type is subsequently contested by Member States or the Commission.
(6) In addition, in cases where, for the same reasons, active substances have not yet been identified as existing, Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 should be updated to correctly reflect all existing active substances.
(7) The situation of persons wishing to notify an active substance/product-type combination on the basis of this Regulation will be similar to that of persons wishing to take over the role of participant in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007. It is therefore appropriate to provide for similar procedure and deadlines for informing stakeholders and allowing declarations of intention to the Commission.
(8) Furthermore, it is appropriate to align the deadlines and other requirements for notification with those set out in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1896/2000 for the first notifications of existing active substances to the extent possible, while taking account of the current working methods of the European Chemicals Agency established by Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).
(9) In cases where no Rapporteur Member State has been designated for the active substance concerned by a notification, and in order to ensure that the substance will be evaluated for approval, confirmation is to be required from the notifier that a competent authority agrees to evaluate the forthcoming application for approval of the active substance.
(10) Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) In order to ensure a smooth transition from Directive 98/8/EC to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (6), certain parts of this Regulation should apply from the same date as Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 2, the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
(2) in Article 3(2), the following point (d) is added:
‘(d) existing active substances notified in accordance with Article 3b.’;
(3) the following Article 3a is inserted:
(4) the following Article 3b is inserted:
(5) the following Article 3c is inserted:
(a) where the active substance/product-type combination concerned is not included in Annex II to this Regulation, include the active substance/product-type combination therein and, where relevant, the active substance in Annex I to this Regulation;
(b) where the active substance/product-type combination concerned is included in Annex II to this Regulation but has been the subject of a Commission decision not to include it in Annex I or IA of Directive 98/8/EC, annul that decision.
(6) in Article 4, the following paragraph 4 is added:
(7) in Article 9, the following paragraph 3 is added:
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
However, points 2, 4 and 7 of Article 1 shall apply from 1 September 2013.
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 |
