THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 of 29 September 2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (1), and in particular Articles 11(3), 20(4), 25(2), 48(4), 48(5) thereof,

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2204/90
of 24 July 1990
laying down additional general rules on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products as regards cheese
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas Article 11 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3879/89 (4), provides for the granting of aid, since the introduction of that organization, for skimmed milk produced in the Community and processed with a view to the manufacture of casein and caseinates; whereas that aid for disposal must ensure for the Community producers concerned a market position identical to that of producers of non-Community casein and caseinates the products of which, following a binding of customs duties, are available on the Community market at the world market price;
Whereas technical progress combined with the arrangements for controlling milk production have had the result of developing the use of casein and caseinates in products for which the primary objective of the aid did not intend them; whereas such substitution operations resulted in affecting the stability of the milk market; whereas, while it appears vital, for reasons of competition, to maintain the principle of aid of a sufficient amount, measures to ensure that the granting of the aid may not disturb the balance of the milk market and that casein and caseinates of Community and non-Community origin receive the same treatment must be adopted;
Whereas the characteristics of casein and caseinates and those of cheese show similarities such that the latter products are particulary vulnerable to the abovementioned substitution operations; whereas only the use of casein and caseinates in cheese should accordingly be governed by rules at Community level;
Whereas the sound operation of such arrangements requires, on the part of the Member States, controls ensuring compliance with the obligations laid down: whereas, to that end, provision should be made in particular for controls and the relevant penalties: whereas the penalties must be such as to neutralize at least the economic benefit arising from unauthorized utilization,
The use of casein and caseinates in the manufacture of cheese shall be subject to prior authorization, which shall be granted only if such use is a necessary condition for the manufacture of the products.
According to the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/86, the Commission shall determine the conditions under which States shall grant the authorizations and the maximum percentages to be incorporated, on the basis of objective criteria laid down having regard to what is technologically necessary.
For the purposes of this Regulation:
(a) 'cheese' means products covered by CN code 0406 and manufactured within Community territory;
(b) 'casein and caseinates' means products covered by CN codes 3501 10 90 and 3501 90 90 and used as such or in the form of a mixture.
1. The Member States shall introduce administrative and physical controls involving the following measures:
(a) the obligation to declare the quantities and types of cheese manufactured and the quantities of casein and caseinates incorporated into the various products;
(b) the obligation on each undertaking to keep stock accounts enabling the quantities and types of cheese manufactured, the quantities of casein and caseinates purchased and/or manufactured and their destination and/or utilization to be recorded;
(c) frequent, unannounced spot checks in order to cross-check the stock accounts on the one hand and appropriate commercial documents and stocks actually held on the other hand; such checks shall relate to a representative number of the declarations referred to in (a) in order to check the facts.
2. The Member States shall notify the Commission of all measures adopted pursuant to this Regulation and of those ensuring that the parties concerned are informed as to the penal or administrative penalties to which they are liable in the case of failure to comply with the provisions of this Regulation, observed
- either pursuant to the measures adopted under paragraph 1,
- or during any check that the public authorities conduct concerning the undertakings which manufacture cheeses but which are not subject to the provisions of paragraph 1.
3. Without prejudice to the penalties laid down, or to be laid down, by the Member State concerned, a sum equal to the difference between the value of the skimmed milk resulting from the intervention price for skimmed-milk powder on the one hand and the market price for casein and caseinates on the other hand, plus 10 %, shall be due for quantities of casein and caseinates used without authorization.
Those values shall be ascertained in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68.
After the arrangements provided for by this Regulation have been applied for one year, the Commission shall draw up a report, together with any appropriate proposals, on the operation and impact of the arrangements.
The detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 15 October 1990. Until that date the provisions in force, and in particular Article 2 (4) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 987/68 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for granting aid for skimmed milk processed into caseins or caseinates (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1435/90 (2), shall continue to apply.
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 the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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 the first paragraph of Article 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators. Those rules include hygiene requirements for raw milk and dairy products.
(2) Commission Decision 2009/861/EC (2) provides for certain derogations from the requirements set out in subchapters II and III of Chapter I of Section IX of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 for the milk processing establishments in Bulgaria listed in that Decision. That Decision is to apply from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2013.
(3) According to Decision 2009/861/EC, certain milk-processing establishments listed in Annex II to that Decision may process non-compliant milk without separate production lines.
(4) Bulgaria sent the Commission a revised and updated list of those milk processing establishments on 13 December 2012.
(5) In that revised and updated list, certain establishments currently listed in Annex II to Decision 2009/861/EC have been deleted as they are now authorised to place dairy products on the intra-Union market, since they are considered to comply with the requirements set out in Chapter I of Section IX of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004. Those establishments were listed in the table in Annex II to Decision 2009/861/EC at No 6 (1112004 ‘Matev-Mlekoprodukt’ OOD), No 16 (2712010 ‘Kamadzhiev-milk’ EOOD), No 37 (1212022 ‘Milkkomm’ EOOD), No 56 (BG 2612042 ‘Bulmilk’ OOD), No 61 (1712013 ET ‘Deniz’), No 70 (BG 1812003 ‘Sirma Prista’ AD) and No 78 (1812005 ‘DAV- Viktor Simonov’ EOOD).

| COMMISSION DECISION of 27 July 1977 concerning checks to be made pursuant to the second sentence of the first paragraph of Article 47 of the ECSC Treaty at Stahlwerke Rรถchling-Burbach GmbH, Vรถlklingen/Saar (Only the German text is authentic) (77/595/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Articles 47, 65, 80 and 81 thereof,
Whereas:
On the basis of complaints and of its own inquiries, the Commission has reason to believe that agreements or concerted practices have been and still are being applied on the common market for steel in such a way as to restrict or distort normal competition within the meaning of Article 65 (1) of the ECSC Treaty. In particular there are grounds for suspecting that there have been and still are agreements or concerted practices between steel-producing undertakings, between steel-distributing undertakings and between steel-producing and distributing undertakings, fixing production and supply quotas, supply channels and prices and sharing out markets.
In order to ascertain the facts, the Director-General for Competition has ordered checks to be made at a number of steel-producing or distributing undertakings pursuant to the second sentence of the first paragraph of Article 47 of the ECSC Treaty.
The investigation at Stahlwerke Rรถchling-Burbach GmbH, Vรถlklingen, planned for 7 September 1976, was to have extended to books and papers which were withheld from officials of the Federal Cartel Office during an investigation carried out on 25 August 1976 at the same undertaking, of the grounds that the Federal Cartel Office had no authority in respect of the relevant products. However, Commission investigators discovered during their investigation that the files described by the Federal Cartel Office were no longer kept in the Richardstraรe 12 premises.
The company's management stated that the books and papers had been destroyed on its instructions.
The fact that no written explanation of this behaviour, as required by the Commission and promised by the undertaking, was ever provided, despite a written reminder on 21 September 1976, gives grounds for suspecting that the books and papers in which the Commission is interested are being kept elsewhere. It is accordingly necessary, to require the undertaking by Decision to submit them for inspection.
The undertaking must guarantee that the Commission officials carrying out the investigation will be permitted, during normal office hours, to enter its premises, to inspect the books and papers described in Article 1, to take copies and photocopies as they may require, and to call for immediate verbal and written explanations regarding the matter under investigation.
Article 47 of the ECSC Treaty, the full text of which is annexed hereto, empowers the Commission to impose fines of up to one per cent of annual turnover, or periodic penalty payments of up to five per cent of average daily turnover for each day's delay on undertakings which evade their obligations under decisions taken in pursuance of that Article, or which knowingly furnish false information,
Stahlwerke Rรถchling-Burbach GmbH, Vรถlklingen, is hereby required to permit checks to be made in its business premises in Vรถlklingen. It shall, in particular, allow Commission officials empowered to carry out the checks to enter its premises during normal office hours, produce for examination the books and papers demanded by those officials for the period beginning with the last quarter of 1970, particularly those which were in the upper storey of Richardstraรe 12 in Vรถlklingen on 25 August 1976, including: - the "forging" agreement,
- the structural-steel agreement,
- the Luxembourg agreement (crude-steel quotas and procedures for fixing them),
- statistics of the rolled-steel joint-selling agencies, rationalization groups and the German-Luxembourg-Belgian-Dutch Business Association,
- European market protection agreement,
- books and papers relating to the agreement between German producers of rolled-steel products made within the Rolled Steel Association, concerning prices to be charged in Germany and other Community countries,
allow the officials to take copies or photocopies, and give immediate oral and written explanations of matters related to the subject of the checks. Furthermore, the Commission officials shall be allowed entry to the company's archives.
The checks shall be carried out at the company's business premises at Vรถlklingen and shall begin on 18 August 1977.
This Decision is addressed to Stahlwerke Rรถchling-Burbach GmbH, Vรถlklingen/Saar. It shall be notified by being handed over personally to a representative of that undertaking by the Commission's officials immediately before the checks are to begin.
Proceedings may be instituted against this Decision under Article 33 of the ECSC Treaty. As stated in the first paragraph of Article 39 of the Treaty, such proceedings shall not have suspensory effect. | 0 | 0 | 0.666667 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in the Annex thereto.
(2) In compliance with the above criteria, the standard import values must be fixed at the levels set out in the Annex to this Regulation,
The standard import values referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 shall be fixed as indicated in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 15 October 2003.

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 June 1984
on a proposed aid by the Netherlands Government in respect of certain investments to be carried out by an oil company at its refinery in Borsele
(Only the Dutch text is authentic)
(84/417/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) thereof,
Having given notice to the parties concerned to submit their comments,
Whereas:
I
Article 6 of the Netherlands Law of 29 June 1978 on the promotion and guidance of investment (Wet Investeringsrekening - WIR) (1) introduced an 'additional premium for major schemes' for the benefit of projects where investment exceeds Fl 30 million. The amount of the premium depends on the number of jobs created and may account for up to 4 % of the investment in question.
When examining the Netherlands Law at the draft stage, in the course of the procedure laid down under Article 93 (3) of the EEC Treaty, the Commission pointed out that since the 'additional premium for major schemes' involved no sectoral or regional objectives it therefore constituted a general aid system, and that since the arrangements applied to all investment, without distinction by reference to given undertakings, regions or sectors, they could not qualify under the exceptions laid down in Article 92 (3) (a) or (c). In the absence of such specification, the Commission could not assess the system's effects on trade between Member States and on competition and therefore assess its compatibility with the common market.
In respect of such general aid systems it is now the well-established policy of the Commission to accept them subject to one of two conditions, namely, that the Member Commission State concerned notifies the Commission either of a plan for regional or sectoral application or alternatively, where this is felt not to be possible, of significant individual cases of application.
In line with this approach, and in accordance with Article 93 (3) of the EEC Treaty, the Commission requested prior notification in good time of individual cases of application of the 'additional premium for major schemes', account being taken of the amount of investment concerned.
During discussions with the Netherlands authorities the Commission stated that it would assess each case its own merits in the light of the rules contained in Article 92 et seq., or rules developed during administration of those provisions. The Netherlands Government could not infer that, by requesting regular prior notification the Commission had taken a favourable view of the additional premium system.
The Netherlands Government complied with the Commission's request by including the prior notification of procedure in Articles 6 (7) and 7 (3) of Chapter V of the Netherlands Law of 29 June 1978.
II
In accordance with this procedure, the Netherlands Government informed the Commission, by telex dated 24 August 1983, of its intention to apply the aid provided for under the abovementioned 'WIR-GPT' aid scheme in favour of investments to be carried out at a refinery in Borsele.
The investment plan foresees the installation of a 'hydrocracker' which can produce a greater proportion of light products to heavy fractions than is possible by the production method hitherto used. The 'hydrocracker' method is rarely used in Europe.
The investment costs are estimated at Fl 1 000 million. The GPT premium proposed is Fl 2 200 000. Realization of the project would result in the creation of approximately 80 jobs.
III
In a series of communications to the Council in recent years, the Commission has drawn attention to the difficulties facing the oil refining industry in the Community as a result of the oil crisis. Briefly described, the difficulties are as follows: the total demand for refined products both of heavy products (heavy fuel oil, etc.) and of light fractions (petrol, etc.)
has declined, but the demand for heavy products has declined more than that for light fractions. At the same time as reducing capacity, the industry has consequently had to invest in plants to raise the relative yield of lighter products. However, the price differential between light distillates and residual fuel oil has, in recent years, generally provided sufficient incentive to companies to carry out the necessary investments.
During recent years, several aid proposals have been notified to the Commission for the same and related purposes. On the grounds that these aids were incompatible with the common market, particularly in view of the situation in the refinery sector, these proposals were subject to negative decisions (1).
The aid initially proposed by the Netherlands Government is likely to affect trade between Member States and distort or threaten to distort competition by favouring the undertaking in question or the production of its goods within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty.
On 6 October 1983, the Commission initiated the procedure under Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty in respect of the Netherlands proposal.
IV
In their reply to the observations of the Commission when opening the Article 93 (2) procedure, the Netherlands authorities did not challenge the Commission's analysis that, in view of the situation in the refinery sector, the Commission's decisions in similar cases in the past, and the financial capacity of the company concerned, meant that there was no counterpart in Community terms of the proposed aid which would allow the Commission to make a finding of compatibility under Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty.
However, the Netherlands authorities pointed out that as a result of the construction of the hydrocracker, other investments would be undertaken at the refinery in question in its existing installations which would lead to improved standards of environmental control, particularly in the field of water pollution caused by the existing refinery installations. The cost of this investment was estimated at Fl 5 million. The Netherlands authorities proposed, therefore, the grant of a GPT premium of Fl 750 000 towards these investment costs, justifying the intensity of the aid, 15 %, as being the level normally permitted for aids for environmental purposes in line with the Community framework on such aids.
The Commission considers that this proposal does not meet the basic legal and economic conditions attaching it to GPT grants, i.e. the size of the aided investment falls below the Fl 30 million threshold, it is not associated with job creation, and the intensity of aid 15 % as against 4 % under the GPT system, means that the proposal cannot be considered to be in line with the Commission decision of 21 April 1978 on the GPT/WIR. The Netherlands Government has not produced any evidence that these environmental investments are necessary as a result of the imposition of new norms in the Netherlands which imposes new obligations upon undertakings which would be required if they were to benefit from the policy in the framework of aids for the environment. The project appears to be motivated by a desire to pass at least some GPT grant to the undertaking in question. Its effect is to strengthen the financial position of the undertaking without providing any discernible Community counterpart.
Furthermore, the Commission cannot accept that because it has raised initial objections to an aid proposal, a radically new and different proposal with different objectives and legally and economically incompatible with the basis of the original proposal should be considered without the original proposal having been formally withdrawn or the subject of a negative decision by the Commission. Had the original proposal been withdrawn or subject to a negative decision, an aid proposal based legally and economically on environmental considerations could then have been considered on those bases.
In the framework of the procedure, the Commission has received comments from the Belgian, Danish and French Governments, all expressing the view that the initially proposed aid should not be granted.
V
The terms of the Treaty provide that aid fulfilling the criteria set out in Article 92 (1) of the Treaty shall be incompatible with the common market. The exemptions from this incompatibility set out in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty specify objectives to be pursued in the Community interest and not that of the individual beneficiary. These exemptions must be strictly
construed in the examination both of regional or sectoral aid schemes and of individual cases of application of general aid systems. In particular, they may be granted only when the Commission can establish that this will contribute to the attainment of the objectives specified in the exemptions, which the recipient firms would not attain by their own actions under normal market conditions alone.
To grant an exemption where there is no compensatory justification would be tantamount to allowing trade between Member States to be affected and competition to be distorted without any benefit in terms of the interest of the Community, which at the same time accepting that undue advantages accrue to some Member States.
When applying the principles set out above in its examination of individual cases of application of general aid systems, the Commission must be satisfied that there exists on the part of the particular beneficiary a specific compensatory justification in that the grant of aid is required to promote the attainment of one of the objectives set out in Article 92 (3). Where such evidence cannot be provided and especially where the aided investment would take place in the absence of aid, it is clear that the aid does not contribute to the attainment, of the objectives specified in the exemptions but serves to increase the financial power of the undertaking in question.
In the case in question, there does not appear to be such a compensatory justification on the part of the undertaking benefiting from the aid.
The Netherlands Government has not been able to provide, nor has the Commission found, any evidence which establishes that the proposed aid meets the conditions justifying one of the exemptions provided for in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty.
As regards the exemptions set out in Article 92 (3) (a) and (c) in respect of aids designed to promote or facilitate the development of certain areas, it is the case that the area in which Borsele is situated continues to enjoy a better socioeconomic situation than that of other regions in the Netherlands; so, therefore, there is no reason to grant the aid in question on the grounds that it will promote or facilitate the development of that area, a purpose, moreover, for which this aid was not intended.
As regards the exemptions provided for in Article 92 (3) (b), since the market for the production of light distillates does not show the over-capacity characteristics of the rest of the refining sector, this investment would be brought about in any event by normal market forces. There is nothing peculiar to the investment in question to qualify it as a project of common European interest or as one designed to remedy as a serious disturbance in the economy of a Member State, which merits exemption under Article 92 (3) (b) from the provision laid down in Article 92 (1) on the incompatibility of aids. Finally, as regards the exemption specified in Article 92 (3) (c) of the EEC Treaty in favour of 'aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities', examination of the refinery investment it is proposed to aid shows that the investment can be carried out by the firm using its own resources. In the light of this fact and the general state of the refining industry for light products, it is clear that the aid is not necessary to promote the development of the economic activity in question.
In view of the above, the aid proposal of the Netherlands Government does not meet the conditions necessary to qualify for any of the exemptions set out in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty,
The Netherlands shall not put into effect its proposal, notified to the Commission on 24 August 1983, to grant aid in respect of certain investments to be carried out in a refinery in Borsele under the GPT regulations of the 'WIR' system.

of 15 February 2012
amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards distribution of food products to the most deprived persons in the Union
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 42 and Article 43(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinions of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (3),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10 December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organisations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community (4), which was subsequently repealed and integrated into Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (5), has provided a reliable scheme for the distribution of food products to the most deprived persons of the Union (food distribution scheme) for more than two decades and has positively contributed to the social cohesion of the Union by reducing economic and social disparities.
(2) The objectives of the common agricultural policy (CAP) as defined in Article 39(1) of the Treaty include stabilising markets and ensuring that supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices. Over the years, the food distribution scheme has underpinned the fulfilment of both objectives and, by reducing the food insecurity of the most deprived persons in the Union, has proved to be an essential tool contributing to guaranteeing the broad availability of food within the Union while reducing intervention stocks.
(3) The European Parliament, in its resolution of 7 July 2011, called on the Commission and the Council to develop a transitional solution for the remaining years of the current multiannual financial framework, so as to avoid a sharp cutback in food aid as a result of the reduction in funding from EUR 500 million to EUR 113 million and so as to ensure that people who are dependent on food aid do not suffer from food poverty.
(4) The current food distribution scheme relies on the distribution of products from Union intervention stocks, supplemented, on a temporary basis, by purchases on the market. However, successive reforms of the CAP and favourable developments in producer prices have resulted in a progressive reduction in intervention stocks and in the range of products available. The current version of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 only allows market purchases in the case of temporary unavailability of products. In the light of the judgment of the General Court in Case T-576/08 (6), purchases of food on the Union market cannot replace the reduced intervention stocks on a regular basis. In these circumstances, it appears appropriate to end the food distribution scheme. In order to give charity organisations in Member States that are using the current food distribution scheme sufficient time to adapt to the new situation, the food distribution scheme should be amended to provide for a phasing-out period, during which market purchases should become a regular source of supply for the food distribution scheme, in order to complement intervention stocks where suitable intervention stocks are not available. The phasing-out period should end on the completion of the 2013 annual plan.
(5) The Union’s food distribution scheme should apply without prejudice to any national food distribution schemes.
(6) In order to ensure sound budgetary management, it is necessary to lay down a fixed ceiling for Union aid. The food distribution scheme should be added to the list of expenditure in Article 3(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (7) to be financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF).
(7) Experience has shown that certain improvements in the management of the food distribution scheme are necessary. The Commission should therefore establish annual plans for the implementation of the food distribution scheme in 2012 and 2013, based on requests by Member States that have been communicated to the Commission and on other information considered to be relevant. Member States should base their requests for food products on national food distribution programmes setting out their objectives and priorities for food distribution to the most deprived persons, which should include nutritional considerations. In this context, it is appropriate that Member States have the option of giving preference to products of Union origin. Finally, in order to secure a proper coverage of costs linked to the implementation of the annual plans, it is necessary for Member States to be given the option to reimburse, within the resources made available through the annual plans, certain costs incurred by designated organisations in relation to administration, transport and storage.
(8) Member States should undertake adequate administrative and physical controls and provide penalties in the case of irregularities in order to ensure that the annual plans are implemented in accordance with the applicable rules.
(9) In order to ensure the continuing operation of the current food distribution scheme, enabling it to be phased out in an efficient manner, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2012 until the completion of the 2013 annual plan.
(10) Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 1234/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,
In Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, the following point is added:
‘(g) the scheme for the distribution of food to the most deprived persons in the Union provided for in Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.’.
Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 is amended as follows:
(1) Article 27 is replaced by the following:
(a) details of the main characteristics and objectives of such programmes;
(b) the organisations designated;
(c) the requests for quantities of food products to be distributed each year and other relevant information.
(a) free of charge; or
(b) at a price which is in no case greater than that justified by the costs incurred by the designated organisations in their distribution and that are not eligible costs under points (a) and (b) of the second subparagraph of paragraph 7.
(a) submit to the Commission an annual report on implementation of the food distribution programmes;
(b) keep the Commission informed in a timely manner on developments affecting the implementation of the food distribution programmes.
(a) the cost of food products released from intervention stocks;
(b) the cost of food products purchased on the market; and
(c) the costs of transporting food products in intervention stocks between Member States.
(a) costs of transport of food products to the storage depots of the designated organisations;
(b) the following costs incurred by the designated organisations, to the extent that they are directly linked with the implementation of the annual plans:
(i) administrative costs;
(ii) transport costs between the storage depots of the designated organisations and the points of final distribution; and
(iii) storage costs.
(2) in Article 204, the following paragraph is added:
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall apply from 1 January 2012 until the completion of the annual plan for 2013.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular the last sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 6(4) thereof,
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 (2), and in particular Article 6(2)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2009/821/EC of 28 September 2009 drawing up a list of approved border inspection posts, laying down certain rules on the inspections carried out by Commission veterinary experts and laying down the veterinary units in TRACES (3) lays down a list of border inspection posts approved in accordance with Directives 91/496/EEC and 97/78/EC. That list is set out in Annex I to that Decision.
(2) In addition, Decision 2009/821/EC repeals and replaces Commission Decision 2001/881/EC of 7 December 2001 drawing up a list of border inspection posts agreed for veterinary checks on animals and animal products from third countries and updating the detailed rules concerning the checks to be carried out by the experts of the Commission (4).
(3) The Commission inspection service (Food and Veterinary Office) carried out an inspection of the border inspection post at the port of Astakos in Greece in November 2008, in accordance with Decision 2001/881/EC.
(4) The inspection revealed a number of structural weaknesses. The competent authority in Greece has therefore provided an action plan to address those weaknesses. That action plan was found to be satisfactory. The border inspection post at the port of Astakos should therefore be added to the list of approved border inspection posts set out in Annex I to Decision 2009/821/EC.
(5) Decision 2009/821/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1544/95 (2), and in particular Article 55 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (3), and in particular Article 3 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 55 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 provides for an import levy on added sugar content for products falling within CN codes 2009 60 11, 2009 60 71, 2009 60 79 and 2204 30 99; whereas that levy is calculated in particular on the basis of the difference, determined by the Commission, between the threshold price for white sugar and the average cif price for that product;
Whereas threshold prices for white sugar are being discontinued with effect from 1 July 1995 for the purposes of implementing the agricultural agreement included during the Uruguay Round; whereas, however, it is necessary, pending the application of the entry price system for grape juice and grape must on 10 September 1995, to continue to calculate the levy for the products concerned on the basis of the criteria provided for in Article 55 (2);
Whereas a standard amount replacing the threshold price for white sugar and equal to the threshold price applicable on 30 June 1995 must therefore be fixed on a provisional basis for the period up to 31 August 1995 and the difference referred to in the abovementioned Article 55 (2) must be calculated on that basis;
Whereas, in order to avoid any interruption in the system and any speculation, the standard amount must be made applicable from 1 July 1995;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
The difference referred to in Article 55 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall be fixed at ECU 0,4876.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 July 1995 until 31 August 1995.

of 1 July 2009
amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include chlorsulfuron, cyromazine, dimethachlor, etofenprox, lufenuron, penconazole, tri-allate and triflusulfuron as active substances
(Text with EEA relevance)
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), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes chlorsulfuron, cyromazine, dimethachlor, etofenprox, lufenuron, penconazole, tri-allate and triflusulfuron.
(2) For those active substances the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 1490/2002 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. For chlorsulfuron and cyromazine the rapporteur Member State was Greece and all relevant information was submitted on 27 July 2007 and on 31 August 2007. For dimethachlor and penconazole the rapporteur Member State was Germany and all relevant information was submitted on 2 May 2007 and on 19 June 2007 respectively. For etofenprox the rapporteur Member State was Italy and all relevant information was submitted on 15 July 2005. For lufenuron the rapporteur Member State was Portugal and all relevant information was submitted on 20 September 2006. For tri-allate the rapporteur Member State was the United Kingdom and all relevant information was submitted on 6 August 2007. For triflusulfuron the rapporteur Member State was France and all relevant information was submitted on 26 July 2007.
(3) The assessment reports have been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 26 November 2008 for chlorsulfuron, on 17 September 2008 for cyromazine and for dimethachlor, on 19 December 2008 for etofenprox, on 30 September 2008 for lufenuron and triflusulfuron, on 25 September 2008 for penconazole and on 26 September 2008 for tri-allate in the format of the EFSA Scientific Reports (4). These reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 26 February 2009 in the format of the Commission review reports for chlorsulfuron, cyromazine, dimethachlor, lufenuron, penconazole, tri-allate and triflusulfuron and on 13 March 2009 for etofenprox.
(4) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing chlorsulfuron, cyromazine, dimethachlor, etofenprox, lufenuron, penconazole, tri-allate and triflusulfuron 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 reports. It is therefore appropriate to include these active substances in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(5) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, for lufenuron, dimethachlor and chlorsulfuron the notifiers should be required to submit further information on the chemical specification of the active substances as manufactured. Furthermore, for cyromazine and penconazole it is appropriate to require that the notifiers submit further information on the fate and behaviour of the soil metabolite NOA 435343 (for cyromazine) and U1 (for penconazole) and on the risk to aquatic organisms. Moreover, it is appropriate as regards tri-allate, to require that the notifier submit further information on the primary plant metabolism, the fate and behaviour of the soil metabolite diisopropylamine, the potential for biomagnification in aquatic food chains, the risk to fish-eating mammals and the long-term risk to earthworms. In addition, it is appropriate for the etofenprox to require that the notifier submit further information on the risk to aquatic organisms, including the risk to sediment dwellers, further studies on the endocrine disruption potential in aquatic organisms (fish full life cycle study) and biomagnification. Finally, for dimethachlor, chlorsulfuron and triflusulfuron, the notifiers should be required to submit further information on the toxicological relevance of metabolites in case the substance is classified as carcinogenic category 3.
(6) 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 prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(7) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing chlorsulfuron, cyromazine, dimethachlor, etofenprox, lufenuron, penconazole, tri-allate and triflusulfuron to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By way of derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(9) It is therefore appropriate 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 adopt and publish by 30 June 2010 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 July 2010.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing chlorsulfuron, cyromazine, dimethachlor, etofenprox, lufenuron, penconazole, tri-allate and triflusulfuron as active substances by 30 June 2010.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating chlorsulfuron, cyromazine, dimethachlor, etofenprox, lufenuron, penconazole, tri-allate and triflusulfuron are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing chlorsulfuron, cyromazine, dimethachlor, etofenprox, lufenuron, penconazole, tri-allate and triflusulfuron 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 31 December 2009 at the latest, Member States shall 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 to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning chlorsulfuron, cyromazine, dimethachlor, etofenprox, lufenuron, penconazole, tri-allate and triflusulfuron respectively. 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.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing chlorsulfuron, cyromazine, dimethachlor, etofenprox, lufenuron, penconazole, tri-allate and triflusulfuron as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation 30 June 2014 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing chlorsulfuron, cyromazine, dimethachlor, etofenprox, lufenuron, penconazole, tri-allate and triflusulfuron as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 June 2014 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 January 2010.

authorising the Kingdom of the Netherlands to apply a measure derogating from Article 11 of the Sixth Directive (77/388/EEC) on the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to turnover taxes

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive (77/388/EEC) of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment(1) (hereinafter referred to as the "Sixth VAT Directive"), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In a letter registered by the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 1 September 1999, the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands requested authorisation on the basis of Article 27 of the Sixth VAT Directive, to apply a measure derogating from Article 1(A)(1)(a) thereof.
(2) Under Article 27(1) of the Sixth VAT Directive, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorise any Member State to introduce special measures for derogation from the provisions of the Directive, in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance.
(3) In accordance with Article 27, the other Member States were informed of the request from the Kingdom of the Netherlands by letter of 28 October 1999.
(4) Article 11(A)(1)(a) of the Sixth VAT Directive states that, in principle, the taxable amount in respect of supplies of goods and services is to be everything which constitutes the consideration which has been or is to be obtained by the supplier for such supplies from the purchaser, the customer or a third party.
(5) By way of derogation from these provisions, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has requested authorisation to include in the taxable amount for transactions involving the working of investment gold the value of the raw material provided by the purchaser and used to make the finished product.
(6) The aim of the derogation is to avoid abuse of the exemption for investment gold and thus to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance; it therefore meets the conditions set out in Article 27 of the Sixth VAT Directive.
(7) The forms of tax evasion or avoidance in question consist mainly of the purchase of VAT-exempt investment gold which is then worked to make jewellery or other goods, with VAT not being charged on the value of the investment gold included in the outgoing transaction.
(8) The derogation will expire on 31 December 2004, so that an assessment can then be made as to whether it is appropriate in the light of changes in the practical application of the special scheme for investment gold established by Directive 98/80/EC(2).
(9) The derogation will have no negative impact on the European Communities' own resources provided from value added tax,
The Kingdom of the Netherlands is hereby authorised, by derogation from Article 11(A)(1)(a) of the Sixth VAT Directive, to include in the taxable amount in respect of the supply of goods or services involving the working of non-taxed investment gold the value of the gold contained in the finished product, based on the current market value of the investment gold.
The authorisation granted under Article 1 shall expire on 31 December 2004.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1157/92 of 28 April 1992 authorizing the implementation of management measures relating to imports of live bovine animals (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3611/93 (3), and in particular Article 15 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 3409/93 of 13 December 1993 introducing management measures for imports of certain bovine animals for 1994 (4), and in particular Article 5 (1) thereof,
Whereas pursuant to Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 3409/93 if the quantity is less than 200 head per application, it is to be allocated by drawing lots by batches of 200 head; whereas, in order to facilitate and speed up the drawing of lots as far as possible, that task should be given to the Member States concerned;
Whereas, on account of certain delays which have occurred, the first period laid down for the issuing of import licences must be deferred;
Whereas Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 3409/93 provides that the quantities set aside for so-called 'traditional' importers are to be granted in proportion to their imports at the full levy during 1991, 1992 and 1993;
Whereas, when notifying the Commission of the reference quantities for 1993 for traditional importers, the French authorities did not forward the quantities imported in 1990 by one operator, who was accordingly excluded from the import arrangements for that year; whereas, with a view to ensuring proper management of these arrangements, the quantities which that importer could have imported in respect of 1993 had his reference quantities been notified correctly, should, by way of derogation from
Article 4
of Regulation (EC) No 3409/93, be considered as having actually been imported in 1993 and they should be taken into account as a reference quantity when the quantities available in respect of 1994 are allocated;
Whereas the quantities available to the operators referred to in Article 2 (2) (b) of that Regulation should be allocated to them in proportion to the quantities applied for; whereas, since the quantities applied for exceed the quantities available, a uniform percentage should be fixed to reduce them; whereas the application of that percentage leads to a maximum of 109 head being allocated per application;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Regulation (EC) No 3409/93 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The second subparagraph of Article 5 (2) is replaced by the following:
'If the reduction provided for in the first subparagraph results in a quantity of less than 200 head per application, the quantity shall be allocated by the Member States concerned by drawing lots for batches of 200 head. The number of batches to be allocated in a given Member State shall be calculated my multiplying the total quantity applied for under Article 4 (3) in that Member State by the reducing coefficient laid down and by dividing the result thus obtained by 200.';
2. The first indent of Article 6 (4) is replaced by the following:
'- from 7 to 18 March 1994 for up to 25 % of the quantities allocated,'.
Applications for import licences for live animals of the bovine species weighing not more than 80 kilograms shall be accepted for up to the following quantities:
(a) 18,224 % of quantities imported in 1991, 1992 and 1993 by the importers referred to in Article 2 (2) (a) of Regulation (EC) No 3409/93;
(b) 0,217 % of quantities applied for by the operators referred to in Article 2 (2) (b) of Regulation (EC) No 3409/93.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 7 March 1994.

Whereas:
(1) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in Annex XVI, Part A thereto.
(2) The standard import value is calculated each working day, in accordance with Article 136(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, taking into account variable daily data.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 18 June 1997 authorizing the Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of seed of oats (Avena sativa) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/402/EEC (97/406/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Directive 96/72/EC (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by Finland,
Whereas in Finland the production of seed of certain varieties of oats (Avena sativa) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) satisfying the requirements of the said Directive in relation to the maximum number of generations of 'certified seed` provided in the said Directive has been insufficient in 1996 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas Finland should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 30 June 1997 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply Finland with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Finland is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 June 1997, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 1 900 tonnes of 'certified seed` of oats (Avena sativa) of varieties of the type 'Veli` or 'Yty` as well as 3 000 tonnes of 'certified seed` of barley (Hordeum vulgare) of varieties of the type 'Arra` or 'Kalle` which do not satisfy the requirements laid down in Directive 66/402/EEC with regard to the maximum number of generations, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the seed is certified seed of the third generation;
(b) the official label shall bear the endorsement 'seed of the third generation`.
Member States other than the applicant Member State are also authorized to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member State, the marketing in their territory of the seed authorized to be marketed pursuant to this Decision.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the various quantities of seed labelled and permitted to be marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2475/2000 of 7 November 2000 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Slovenia(1), and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) As an autonomous and transitional measure with effect from 1 July 2000, Regulation (EC) No 2475/2000 adjusts the agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Slovenia.
(2) To allow the application of the arrangements provided for in the above Regulation once this Regulation has been published, the tariff quotas with the serial Nos 09.4083, 09.4084, 09.4090, 09.4111, 09.4112, 09.4115, 09.4116, 09.4117, 09.4118 and 09.4119 should be administered in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1602/2000(3), which codify the management rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of customs declarations.
(3) Previous tariff quotas for poultry products originating in Slovenia were administered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 509/97 of 20 March 1997 laying down procedures for applying in the poultry sector the Interim Agreement on trade and accompanying measures between the European Community, the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Atomic Energy Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Slovenia, of the other part(4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1514/97(5), which should be repealed.
(4) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 509/97, in July and October 2000 import licences valid for 150 days were issued for certain products now covered by the quotas introduced by Regulation (EC) No 2475/2000.
To limit the potential trade problems that might temporarily arise from the parallel existence of two different management procedures for some tariff quotas in the poultrymeat sector, i.e. management via the quarterly issue of import licences and management according to the "first come, first served" principle in line with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, import licence holders should be given the possibility of cancellation with release of the security.
(5) A deadline should be laid down for the submission of requests for cancellation, giving traders a reasonable time for submission.
(6) Repayment of import duties on products of groups 80, 90 and 100 listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 509/97 and imported under licences used from 1 July 2000 falls within the scope of Articles 878 to 898 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
(7) This Regulation should be applied from 1 July 2000 in parallel with Regulation (EC) No 2475/2000.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
Tariff quotas with the serial Nos 09.4083, 09.4084, 09.4090, 09.4111, 09.4112, 09.4115, 09.4116, 09.4117, 09.4118 and 09.4119 shall be administered in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
Holders of import licences issued under Regulation (EC) No 509/97, for groups 80, 90 and 100 listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 509/97 and applied for between 1 and 10 July 2000 or between 1 and 10 October 2000 may, before 31 March 2001, request their cancellation and release of the security.
Member States shall notify to the Commission before the end of the following month the monthly volume and cancelled licences for each of the above groups, indicating the application period concerned.
Regulation (EC) No 509/97 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3832/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of textile products originating in developing countries (1), extended for 1993 by Regulation (EEC) No 3917/92 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
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;
Whereas Article 11 of the abovementioned Regulation provides that the levying of customs duties may be re-established at any time in respect of imports of the products in question once the relevant individual ceilings have been reached at Community level;
Whereas, in respect of products of category 97 (order No 40.0970), originating in China, the relevant ceiling amounts to 4 tonnes;
Whereas on 15 January 1993 imports of the products in question into the Community, originating in China, a country covered by preferential tariff arrangements, reached and were charged against that ceiling;
Whereas it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties for the products in question with regard to China,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 596/2004
of 30 March 2004
laying down detailed rules for implementing the system of export licences in the egg sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in eggs (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003 (2), and in particular Articles 3(2), 8(12) and 15 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agricultural sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1340/98 (4), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1371/95 of 16 June of 1995 laying down detailed rules for implementing the system of export licences in the egg sector (5) has been substantially amended several times (6). In the interest of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 provides that all exports for which export refunds are requested, with the exception of exports of hatching eggs, shall be subject to the presentation of an export licence with advance fixing of the refund. Therefore specific implementing rules should be laid down for the egg sector which should, in particular, include provisions for the submission of the applications and the information which must appear on the applications and licences, in addition to those contained in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 322/2004 (8).
(3) In order to assure proper administration of the system, the rate of the security for export licences under the said system should be fixed. In view of the risk of speculation inherent in the system in the egg sector, export licences should not be transferable and precise conditions governing access by traders to the said system should be laid down.
(4) Article 8(12) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 provides that compliance with the obligations arising from agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations regarding the export volume shall be ensured on the basis of the export licences. Therefore a detailed schedule for the lodging of applications and for the issuing of licences should be laid down.
(5) In addition, the decision regarding applications for export licences should be communicated only after a period of consideration. This period would allow the Commission to appreciate the quantities applied for as well as the expenditure involved and, if appropriate, to take specific measures applicable in particular to the applications which are pending. It is in the interest of traders to allow the licence application to be withdrawn after the acceptance coefficient has been fixed.
(6) In the case of applications concerning quantities equal to or less than 25 tonnes, the export licence should be issued immediately if the trader requests it. However, such licences should be restricted to short-term commercial transactions in order to prevent the mechanism provided for in this Regulation from being circumvented.
(7) In order to ensure an exact follow up of the quantities to be exported, a derogation from the rules regarding the tolerances laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 should be laid down.
(8) The Commission should dispose of precise information concerning applications for licences and of the use of licences issued, in order to be able to manage this system. In the interest of efficient administration, the notifications from Member States to the Commission should be made according to a uniform model.
(9) Article 8(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 provides that for hatching eggs export refunds may be granted on the basis of an ex post export licence. Therefore implementing rules for such a system should be laid down with the aim of ensuring efficient verification with the obligations arising from the agreements concluded in the framework of the Uruguay Round negotiations are complied with. However, it would appear unnecessary to require the lodging of a security in the case of licences applied for after exportation.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
All exports of products in the egg sector for which an export refund is requested, with the exception of hatching eggs falling within CN codes 0407 00 11 and 0407 00 19, shall be subject to the presentation of an export licence with advance fixing of the refund, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 2 to 8.
1. Export licences shall be valid for 90 days from their actual day of issue within the meaning of Article 23(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000.
2. Applications for licences and licences shall bear, in section 15, the description of the product and, in section 16, the 12-digit product code of the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds.
3. The categories of products referred to in the second paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, as well as the rate of the security for export licences are given in Annex I.
4. Applications for licences and licences shall bear, in section 20, at least one of the following:
— Reglamento (CE) no 596/2004
— Forordning (EF) nr. 596/2004
— Verordnung (EG) Nr. 596/2004

1. Applications for export licences may be lodged with the competent authorities from Monday to Friday of each week.
2. Applicants for export licences shall be natural or legal persons who, at the time applications are submitted, are able to prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities in the Member States that they have been engaged in trade in the egg sector for at least 12 months. However, retail establishments or restaurants selling their products to end consumers may not lodge applications.
3. Export licences are issued on the Wednesday following the period referred to in paragraph 1, provided that none of the particular measures referred to in paragraph 4 have since been taken by the Commission.
4. Where applications for export licences concern quantities and/or expenditure which exceed the normal trade patterns, or where there is a risk that they will be exceeded, taking account of the limits referred to in Article 8(12) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 and/or the corresponding expenditure during the period in question, the Commission may:
(a) set a single percentage by which the quantities applied for are accepted;
(b) refuse the applications for which export licences have not yet been awarded;
(c) suspend the lodging of applications for export licences for a maximum of five working days. A suspension for a longer period may be decided in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75. In these cases, applications for export licences lodged during the suspension period shall be inadmissible.
These measures may be adjusted according to the category of product and to destination.
5. Where quantities applied for are rejected or reduced, the security shall be released immediately for all quantities for which an application was not satisfied.
6. Notwithstanding paragraph 3, where a single percentage of acceptance less than 80 % is set, the licence shall be issued at the latest by the 11th working day following publication of that percentage in the Official Journal of the European Union. During the 10 working days following its publication, the operator may:
— either withdraw his application, in which case the security is released immediately,
— or request immediate issuing of the licence, in which case the competent authority shall issue it without delay but no sooner than the normal issue date for the relevant week.
7. By way of derogation from paragraph 3, the Commission can set a day other than Wednesday for the issuing of export licences when it is not possible to respect this day.
1. On application by the operator, licence applications for up to 25 tonnes of products shall not be subject to any special measures as referred to in Article 3(4) and the licences applied for shall be issued immediately.
In such cases, notwithstanding Article 2(1), the term of validity of the licences shall be limited to five working days from their actual day of issue within the meaning of Article 23 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 and section 20 of licence applications and of licences shall show at least one of the following:
— Certificado válido durante cinco días hábiles y no utilizable para la aplicación del artículo 5 del Reglamento (CEE) no 565/80

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas Article 2 of the Treaty assigns to the Community the task, inter alia, of promoting throughout the Community a harmonious development of economic activities, a continuous and balanced expansion and an accelerated raising of the standard of living;
Whereas, in its resolution of 14 January 1974 on an initial outline programme of the European Communities in the field of science and technology (3), the Council stated that the whole range of available ways and means should be used as appropriate;
Whereas, in its resolution of 25 July 1983 (4), the Council adopted a first framework programme (1984 to 1987) for Community research, development and demonstration activities, two of the principal objectives of which are met by the proposed research, namely industrial competitiveness and improvement of management of raw materials;
Whereas the economic availability of raw materials and advanced materials is indispensable to maintaining the industrial competitiveness of the Community;
Whereas the programme on recycling of urban and industrial waste adopted by Decision 79/968/EEC (5), as last amended by Decision 83/634/EEC (6), and the programme in the field of raw materials, which includes subprogrammes on metals and mineral substances, wood as a renewable raw material, recycling of non-ferrous metals and substitution and materials technology, adopted by Decision 82/402/EEC (7), have produced encouraging results and opened up promising prospects, relative to the objectives sought;
Whereas, by Decision 84/197/EEC (8), the Council adopted a concerted-action project of the European Economic Community on the use of lignocellulose-containing by-products and other plant residues for animal feeding;
Whereas the Treaty has not provided the specific powers necessary for the adoption of this Decision;
Whereas the Scientific and Technical Research Committee (CREST) has given its opinion on the Commission's proposal,
1. The Community shall implement, over a period of four years from 1 January 1986, a research programme in the materials sector (raw materials and advanced materials), as described in the Annex.
2. The work shall be carried out as shared-costs contract research, coordination and training activities, and one concerted action, as described in the Annex.
1. The amount estimated as necessary to carry out the programme shall be 70 million ECU, including expenditure for a staff of 23.
The breakdown of this amount by subprogramme is given in the Annex by way of indication only.
2. In the light of the experience gained in the course of implementing the programme and after receiving the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 3, the Commission shall be authorized to transfer funds from one subprogramme to another, provided that the final appropriation for any subprogramme does not differ, upwards or downwards, by more than 15 % from the original appropriation as set out in the Annex for each subprogramme.
The Commission shall be responsible for the execution of the programme. It shall be assisted in its task by the Management and Coordination Advisory Committee on Raw Materials and Other Materials set up by Council Decision 84/338/Euratom, ECSC, EEC (9).
The programme shall be reviewed at the end of the second year. In the light of this review the Commission may, through the appropriate procedures, present to the Council a proposal for a new four-year programme which would supersede the current programme at the beginning of the third year.
1. With regard to the concerted actions, the participating Member States and the Community shall, in accordance with a procedure to be laid down by the Commission, after having consulted the Committee referred to in Article 3, regularly exchange all useful information concerning the execution of the research covered by such activities.

They shall also endeavour to provide the Commission with information on similar research planned or carried out by bodies which are not under their authority. Any information shall be treated as confidential if so requested by the Member State which provides it.
2. Following completion of the programme, the Commission shall, after having consulted the Committee referred to in Article 3, send to the Member States and the European Parliament a summary report on the implementation and results of the concerted actions.
It shall publish the report referred to in the first subparagraph six months after it has been sent to the Member States, unless a Member State objects. Should a Member State object, the report shall be distributed, in agreement with the Committee referred to in Article 3, only to those institutions and undertakings which request it and whose research or production activities justify access to the results of the research arising from the concerted actions. The Commission shall make the necessary arrangements for the report to remain confidential and not to be divulged to third parties.
1. In accordance with Article 228 of the Treaty, the Council may conclude agreements with third States, in particular those involved in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research (COST), with a view to associating them wholly or partly with this programme.
2. The Commission is hereby authorized to negotiate the agreements referred to in paragraph 1. | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 |

(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) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes boric oxide.
(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, boric oxide has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.
(3) The Netherlands was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 7 July 2006 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 20 February 2009, in an assessment report.
(5) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing boric oxide may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include boric oxide in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing boric oxide can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(6) However, unacceptable risks were identified for the in situ treatment of wood outdoors and for treated wood exposed to weathering. Therefore, authorisations for these uses should not be granted unless data have been submitted in order to demonstrate that the products can be used without unacceptable risks to the environment.
(7) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at the Community level. It is therefore appropriate that Member States assess those risks to the compartments and populations that have not been representatively addressed in the Community level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to mitigate the identified risks to acceptable levels.
(8) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that specific risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level to products containing boric oxide and used as wood preservatives. In particular, appropriate measures should be taken to protect the soil and aquatic compartments since unacceptable risks to these compartments have been identified during the evaluation. Products should also be used with appropriate protective equipment if the risk identified for professional and industrial users cannot be reduced by other means.
(9) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance boric oxide and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.
(10) 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 prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.
(11) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 8 containing boric oxide to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.
(12) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 31 August 2010 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 September 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the common organization of the market in fishery products (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2886/89 (2), and in particular Article 17 (6) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1196/76 of 17 May 1976 laying down general rules for the granting of compensation to producers of tuna for the canning industry (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas the rules regarding the granting of compensation were modified with effect from 13 November 1988 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3468/88 (4); that this date divides into two periods the last quarter of the 1988 compaign, for which the conditions for the triggering of and, where applicable, granting of compensation must still be analysed;
Whereas, during the period 1 October to 12 November 1988, compensation for tuna supplied to the canning industry was administrated by the abovementioned rules in Regulations (EEC) No 3796/81 and (EEC) No 1196/76 and the maximum amount of this compensation should therefore be determined according to these rules, notwithstanding the fact that these rules have been modified since then;
Whereas compensation is to be granted, if necessary, to Community producers of tuna in respect of tuna for the canning industry; whereas this measure was to compensate Community producers for any disadvantages that may arise under the import arrangements; whereas by virtue of those arrangements a fall in the import prices for tuna could directly threaten the income level of Community producers of this product;
Whereas compensation is granted for the tuna supplied to the canning industry during the three-month period for which prices were recorded, where simultaneously the quarterly average price on the Community market and the free-at-frontier price are less than 90 % of the Community producer price and this fall in prices is caused by the level of prices on the world market in tuna and not by an abnormal increase in the quantities produced;
Whereas, under the arrangements, an analysis should be made of the situation on the Community market in order to determine the maximum amount of the compensation for the period 1 October to 12 November 1988; whereas this analysis has shown that for certain species and presentations of the product considered, during the periods concerned, both the quarterly average market price and the free-at-frontier prices referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1196/76 were less than 90 % of the Community producer price in force, as fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3765/87 of 14 December 1987 fixing the Community producer price for tuna intended for the canning industry for the 1988 fishing year (5);
Whereas the information available to the Commission does not suggest that the level of prices on the Community market is caused by an abnormal increase in the quantities of Community production during the period concerned;
Whereas therefore compensation should be granted to Community tuna producers, in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2469/86 of 31 July 1986 laying down detailed rules for the granting of compensation to producers of tuna for the canning industry (6), for the period 1 October to 12 November 1988 and the maximum amount of compensation should be fixed for this period for each of the products concerned;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
The compensation referred to in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 3796/81 as in effect until 12 November 1988, shall apply for the period 1 October to 12 November of the 1988 fishing year for the products and within the limits of the maximum amounts determined as follows:
(ECU/tonne)
1.2 // // // Product // Maximum amount of compensation // // // Yellowfin tuna, whole, weighing not more than 10 kg each // 293 // //

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal of the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/75 of 10 February 1975 establishing a European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (3) includes provisions concerning the organisation of the Centre, and in particular its Management Board. Those provisions have been amended several times following each accession of new Member States, when new members had to be added to the Management Board.
(2) An external evaluation of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (hereinafter the Centre) was carried out in 2001. The Commission's response and the Action Plan established by the Management Board on the basis of that response underline the need to adapt the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 337/75 in order to maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of the Centre and of its management structures.
(3) The European Parliament has called upon the Commission to review the composition and working methods of agencies' boards and to put forward appropriate proposals.
(4) A Joint Opinion concerning the future governance and functioning of the Boards of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, of the Centre and of the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions has been submitted to the Commission by their respective management or administrative Boards.
(5) The tripartite governance of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, the Centre and the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions by representatives of governments, employers’ organisations and employees’ organisations, is fundamental to the success of those bodies.
(6) The participation of the social partners in the governance of those three Community bodies creates a specificity, which requires them to function according to common rules.
(7) The existence, within the tripartite Board, of the three groups, drawn from government, employers and employees and the designation of a coordinator for the groups of employers and employees have proved to be essential. That arrangement should therefore be formalised and also extended to the government group.
(8) The maintenance of the tripartite representation from each Member State ensures that all major stakeholders are involved and that account is taken of the diversity of systems and approaches which characterise vocational training issues.
(9) It is necessary to anticipate the practical consequences for the Centre of the forthcoming enlargement of the Union. The composition and functioning of its Board should be adjusted to take account of the accession of new Member States.
(10) The Bureau, provided for in the Rules of Procedure of the Management Board, needs to be strengthened in order to ensure continuity in the functioning of the Centre and efficiency in its decision making. The composition of the Bureau should continue to reflect the tripartite structure of the Board.
(11) According to Article 3 of the Treaty, the Community is to aim to eliminate inequalities, and promote equality, between men and women in all its activities. It is therefore appropriate to make provision for encouraging a balanced representation of men and women in the composition of the Governing Board and the Bureau.
(12) Regulation (EEC) No 337/75 should, therefore, be amended accordingly.
(13) The Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Regulation, for powers other than those under Article 308,
Regulation (EEC) No 337/75 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 3, paragraph 2 shall be replaced by the following:

(3) On 14 June 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/330/CFSP (3) which continued EUJUST LEX for a further 24 months until 30 June 2012 and which provided that during this period EUJUST LEX – IRAQ should progressively shift its activities and relevant structures to Iraq, focusing on specialised training, while maintaining out-of-country activities as appropriate.
(4) Council Decision 2010/330/CFSP provided for a financial reference amount intended to cover the expenditure related to EUJUST LEX-IRAQ for the period from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011. This financial reference amount should be increased to cover the Mission’s operational needs and Council Decision 2010/330/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The mandate of the Mission is being carried out in a security context that is liable to deteriorate and to undermine the objectives of the external action of the Union as defined in Article 21 of the Treaty.
(6) The command and control structure of the Mission should be without prejudice to the contractual responsibility of the Head of Mission towards the Commission for implementing the budget of the Mission,
Article 11(1) of Council Decision 2010/330/CFSP is hereby replaced by the following:
‘1. The financial reference amount intended to cover the expenditure related to the Mission between 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2011 shall be EUR 22 300 000.’.

authorising a method for grading pig carcases in Greece
(notified under document C(2010) 7230)
(Only the Greek text is authentic)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(m), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Point B.IV, paragraph 1, of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that, for the classification of pig carcases, the lean-meat content has to be assessed by means grading methods authorised by the Commission, which methods may only be statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase. The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. This tolerance is defined in Article 23(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 of 10 December 2008 laying down detailed rules on the implementation of the Community scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcases and the reporting of prices thereof (2).
(2) Greece has asked the Commission to authorise one method for grading dehided pig carcases. This Member State has presented a detailed description of the uniform manner of dehiding carcases in part one of the protocol provided for in Article 23(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 and the results of its dissection trial in part two of that protocol. Both protocols were presented to the other Member States in the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
(3) Examination of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising this grading method are fulfilled. This grading method should therefore be authorised in Greece.
(4) In accordance with the second paragraph of point B.III of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 Member States may be authorised to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the standard presentation defined in the first paragraph of that point, inter alia, where normal commercial practice in their territory differs from that standard presentation.
(5) Greece has specified to the Commission that, in some slaughterhouses in Greece, commercial practice requires also the removal of the skin from the pig carcases, in addition to the removal of the tongue, bristles, hooves, genital organs, flare fat, kidneys and diaphragm as required by that first paragraph. This presentation that differs from the standard presentation should therefore be authorised in Greece.
(6) No modification of the apparatus or grading method may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained. For this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
The use of the following method is hereby authorised for grading dehided pig carcases pursuant to point B.IV, paragraph 1, of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in Greece: the apparatus termed ‘Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP 4)’ and the assessment method related thereto, details of which are given in the Annex.
Notwithstanding the standard presentation laid down in the first paragraph of point B.III of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, pig carcases in Greece may be dehided in a uniform manner before being weighed and graded. In order to establish quotations for pig carcases on a comparable basis, the recorded hot carcase weight shall be adjusted according to the following formula:
hot carcase weight = 1,05232 × weight of the dehided carcase
Modifications of the apparatus or the assessment method shall not be authorised.

Whereas:
(1) Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82 of 8 June 1982 laying down detailed rules for the application of the quota system in the sugar sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 392/94(4), provides for the fixing before 1 April and the collection before the following 1 June, of the unit amounts to be paid by sugar producers, isoglucose producers and inulin syrup producers as advance payments of the production levies for the current marketing year. The estimate of the basic production levy and of the B levy, referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82, gives an amount which is more than 60 % of the maximum amounts indicated in Article 33(3), (4) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999. In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82, the unit amounts for sugar and inulin syrup should therefore be fixed at 50 % of the maximum amounts concerned and for isoglucose the unit amount of the advance payment should therefore be fixed at 40 % of the unit amount of the basic production levy estimated for sugar.
(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The unit amounts referred to in Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1443/82 in respect of the 2000/2001 marketing year are hereby fixed as follows:
(a) the advance payment of the basic production levy for A sugar and B sugar shall be EUR 0,632 per 100 kilograms of white sugar;
(b) the advance payment of the B levy for B sugar shall be EUR 11,848 per 100 kilograms of white sugar;
(c) the advance payment of the basic production levy for A isoglucose and B isoglucose shall be EUR 0,506 per 100 kilograms of dry matter;
(d) the advance payment of the basic production levy for A inulin syrup and B inulin syrup shall be EUR 0,632 per 100 kilograms of dry matter equivalent sugar/isoglucose;
(e) the advance payment of the B levy for B inulin syrup shall be EUR 11,848 per 100 kilograms of dry matter equivalent sugar/isoglucose.

31999D0849 | 1999/849/EC: Council Decision of 14 December 1999 relating to the granting of a national aid by the Austrian Government to small producers in less-favoured areas by virtue of Annex XV of the 1994 Act of Accession
| COUNCIL DECISION
of 14 December 1999
relating to the granting of a national aid by the Austrian Government to small producers in less-favoured areas by virtue of Annex XV of the 1994 Act of Accession
(1999/849/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,
Having regard to the request made by the Government of the Republic of Austria on 20 October 1999,
Whereas:
(1) Article 151(1) of the 1994 Act of Accession provides that the Acts listed in Annex XV shall apply in respect of the new Member States under the conditions laid down in that Annex; Annex XV, Chapter VII, Section "D. Structures" paragraph 2(c) provides that by way of derogation from Article 35 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 of 15 July 1991 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures(1), "the Republic of Austria may, subject to authorisation by the Commission, continue to grant, until 31 December 2004, to small producers which were entitled thereto in 1993 by virtue of national legislation, national aid to the extent that the compensatory allowance referred to in Articles 17 to 19 is not sufficient to compensate permanent natural handicaps. The aid granted in total to these producers must not exceed the amounts granted in Austria in the aforementioned year";
(2) On the basis of this derogation, after the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession the Austrian Government continued to grant national aid adjusted to take account of the Community system of aids established since 1995 and due to remain in force until 2004;
(3) On 26 October 1995, the Austrian Government notified the Commission of the "Special Directive concerning the granting of a compensatory allowance in less-favoured areas and national aid", seeking confirmation that the method to be applied by the Austrian authorities for granting the national aid between 1995 and 1998 and for maintaining it until 2004 was valid;
(4) In its Decision of 20 December 1995 (C(95) 3368) relating to national aid, the Commission limited the granting of national aid to holdings the size of which in hectares of usable agricultural area did not exceed the average size for Austria of all agricultural holdings run on a full-time basis, on the one hand, and on a part-time basis, on the other, and could in no circumstances exceed 25 hectares; moreover that Decision is limited to 31 December 1999;
(5) That Decision limits the application of the derogation provided for in Annex XV, by excluding from national compensation approximately 2500 holdings which had an area above the average area of 23 hectares for full-time holdings that received aid and 6 hectares for part-time holdings that received aid out of approximately 124000 holdings in total that received aids;
(6) The Commission's taking the definition of "small producer" as a basis for setting a limit on granting this aid means that not all small producers eligible in 1993 under Austrian law, on which the derogation was established, can be compensated as from 1995;
(7) The amount of national aid excluded by the Commission Decision represents less than EUR 1 million, equivalent to 0,5 % of the total Austrian national aid to holdings;
(8) The flat-rate aid granted to holdings since 1995 and planned to continue until 2004 does not exceed the amount of aid granted in Austria in 1993;
(9) The aid in question is unlikely to distort competition within the Community;
(10) Owing to the abovementioned derogation for Austria, all the beneficiaries of the national aid scheme working holdings located in particular in mountainous areas or in regions close to the Eastern border of Austria expected no reduction in the overall compensation paid in 1993, nor that it would be abolished, until 2004;
(11) This being the case, there are exceptional circumstances for considering the intervention planned by the Austrian Government as compatible with the common market, under the conditions provided for in this Decision,
The scheme for maintaining the aids described in the "Special Directive concerning the granting of compensatory allowances in less-favoured areas and national aid" as forwarded to the Commission on 26 October 1995, shall be deemed compatible with the common market until 31 December 2004, providing as it does that if the calculation of the compensatory allowance granted to a holding as from 1995 results in a smaller amount of aid for a holding than it received under this scheme in 1993, the balance shall be made up in the form of national aid.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/166/EEC of 24 April 1972 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles and to the enforcement of the obligation to insure against such liability (1), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 30 May 2002 a multilateral agreement, hereinafter ‘the Agreement’, was concluded between the national insurers’ bureaux of the Member States of the European Economic Area and other associate States. The Agreement is attached to Commission Decision 2003/564/EC of 28 July 2003 on the appli cation of Council Directive 72/166/EEC relating to checks on insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles (2) by which the Commission fixed the date from which Member States would refrain from making checks on insurance against civil liability in respect of vehicles which are normally based in the territory of one of the States having signed the Agreement and which are subject to Agreement. The Agreement has subsequently been extended to further countries by the adoption of Addendums No 1 and 2.
(2) On 8 March 2007 the national insurers’ bureaux of the Member States and those of Andorra, Croatia, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, signed Addendum No 3 to the Agreement by which the Agreement was extended to include the national insurers’ bureau of Bulgaria and Romania. The Addendum provides for the practical arrangements to abolish insurance checks in respect of vehicles normally based in the territory of Bulgaria and Romania and which are subject to the Addendum.
(3) Therefore all the conditions for the removal of checks on motor insurance against civil liability in accordance with Directive 72/166/EEC in respect of vehicles normally based in the territory of Bulgaria and Romania are fulfilled,
As from 1 August 2007, Member States shall refrain from making checks on insurance against civil liability in respect of vehicles which are normally based in the territory of Bulgaria and Romania and which are subject to Addendum No 3 of 8 March 2007 to the Multilateral Agreement between the national insurers’ bureaux of the Member States of the European Economic Area and other associate States.
Member States shall forthwith inform the Commission of measures taken to apply this Decision.

of 10 September 1984
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for aubergines falling within subheading ex 07.01 T II of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Cyprus (1984)
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 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 amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1833/84 (2), provides for the opening, in respect of the period 1 October to 30 November 1984, of a Community tariff quota of 300 tonnes of aubergines, falling within subheading 07.01 T 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, therefore, the Community tariff quota in question should be opened for this period;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure to all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the abovementioned quota and uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for that 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, under 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 and 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, all transactions concerning the administration of shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 October until 30 November 1984, the Common Customs Tariff duty for aubergines, falling within subheading ex 07.01 T II of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Cyprus, shall be suspended at 6,4 % within the limits of a Community tariff quota of 300 tonnes.
Within the limits of this tariff quota, Greece shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the 1979 Act of Accession and the Protocol to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Cyprus consequent on the accession of the Hellenic Republic to the Community.
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 goods have access to the quota so long as the residual balance of the quota volume allows this.
3. Member State shall charge imports of the said goods against their drawings as and when the goods are entered for free circulation.
4. The extent to which the quota has been used up 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 October 1984.
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 |

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1819/2006
of 11 December 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 234/2004 concerning certain restrictive measures in respect of Liberia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof,
Having regard to Common Position 2006/31/CFSP of 23 January 2006 renewing the restrictive measures imposed against Liberia (1) and Common Position 2006/518/CFSP of 24 July 2006 modifying and renewing certain restrictive measures imposed against Liberia (2),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In order to implement the measures imposed against Liberia by the United Nations Security Council Resolution (hereinafter referred to as ‘UNSCR’) 1521 (2003), Common Position 2004/137/CFSP (3) of 10 February 2004 concerning restrictive measures against Liberia provided for the implementation of the measures set out in UNSCR 1521 (2003) concerning Liberia, and a ban on the provision to Liberia of financial assistance related to military activities. In line with UN Security Council Resolutions 1647 (2005), 1683 (2006) and 1689 (2006), Common Positions 2006/31/CFSP and 2006/518/CFSP confirmed the restrictive measures of Common Position 2004/137/CFSP for a further period of time and provided for certain modifications.
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 234/2004 (4) prohibits the provision to Liberia of technical and financial assistance related to military activities, the import of rough diamonds from Liberia and the import of round logs and timber products originating in that country.
(3) On 20 June 2006, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1689 (2006). It decided, inter alia, not to renew the prohibition against imports of all round logs and timber products originating in Liberia, which had been imposed by paragraph 10 of UNSCR 1521 (2003) and, after several extensions, expired on 20 June 2006. The Security Council expressed its determination to reinstate that prohibition if, within a period of ninety days, Liberia failed to pass the forestry legislation proposed by the Forest Reform Monitoring Committee created by the Government of Liberia.
(4) The Security Council revisited the matter on 20 October 2006 and concluded that Liberia had adopted the necessary forestry legislation. It resolved therefore not to reinstate the prohibition.
(5) Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 234/2004, which prohibits the import into the Community of all round logs and timber products originating in Liberia and was suspended from 23 June 2006 to 18 September 2006, should therefore be repealed with retroactive effect to 19 September 2006,
In Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 234/2004, paragraph 2 shall be deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 19 September 2006.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for a new use of a preparation of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) That application concerns the authorisation of a new use of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737) as a feed additive for weaned piglets and weaned Suidae other than Sus scrofa domesticus, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The use of a preparation of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737) was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EU) No 107/2010 (2) and chickens reared for laying, ducks for fattening, quails, pheasants, partridges, guinea fowl, pigeons, geese for fattening and ostriches by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 885/2011 (3).
(5) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) in its opinion of 25 April 2012 (4) confirmed its previous conclusions that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737) is presumed safe for all animal species, consumers of the products of any animals given the additive and the environment. Although three trials performed by the applicant showed at least one significantly improved parameter in comparison with control groups, the Authority was unable to establish a minimum effective dose as proposed by the applicant, because of conflicting results at different dose levels tested. Two trials showed significant improvements with a dose of 1 × 107CFU/kg but not at 5 × 107CFU/kg feed. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) The assessment of the preparation of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC PTA-6737) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1962/95 of 9 August 1995 fixing the actual production of olive oil and the unit amount of production aid for the 1993/94 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 of 17 July 1984 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for the production of olive oil and of aid to olive oil producer organizations (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 636/95 (4), and in particular Article 17a (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purpose of the common agricultural policy (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95 (6), and in particular Article 13 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the unit amount of the production aid must be reduced where the actual production for a given marketing year exceeds the maximum guaranteed quantity fixed for that marketing year; whereas, however, producers whose average production is less than 500 kilograms of olive oil per marketing year are not affected by that reduction;
Whereas Article 17a of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 provides that, in order to determine the unit amount of the production aid for olive oil which may be paid in advance, the estimated production for the marketing year concerned should be established; whereas, for the 1993/94 marketing year, the estimated production aid which may be paid in advance was fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1187/94 (7);
Whereas, pursuant to Article 17a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84, not more than eight months after the end of the marketing year the quantity actually produced in respect of which entitlement to the aid has been recognized must be determined; whereas, to that end in accordance with Article 12a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3061/84 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 637/95 (9), the Member States concerned must notify the Commission, not later than 31 May following each marketing year, of the quantity recognized as qualifying for the aid in each Member State; whereas as a result of those communications the quantity eligible for aid for the 1993/94 marketing year amounts to 550 000 tonnes for Italy, 2 407 tonnes for France, 323 161 tonnes for Greece, 588 000 tonnes for Spain and 27 486 tonnes for Portugal;
Whereas recognition by the Member States of those quantities as qualifying for the aid implies that the checks referred to in Regulations (EEC) No 2261/84 and (EEC) No 3061/84 have been carried out; whereas, however, fixing actual production in accordance with the information on the quantities recognized as qualifying for Community aid by the Member States does not prejudge the conclusions that may be drawn from verification of the accuracy of that information under the clearance of accounts procedure;
Whereas, in view of the quantity actually produced, the unit amount of the production aid provided for in point (b) of the fifth subparagraph of Article 5 (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC should also be fixed;
Whereas, the amount in question must be converted into national currencies in accordance with Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 3498/93 (10) determining the operative events applicable specifically to the olive oil sector; whereas, as a result, the unit amount of aid must be fixed taking into account that the operative event is in any case prior to 1 February 1995;
Whereas the amount of production aid in Spain and Portugal is different from that in the other Member States;
Whereas, in view of the exceptional circumstances which have led to a certain delay in fixing actual production for the 1993/94 marketing year and in order to ensure that payment of the balance of the production aid for that marketing year is made under the budget for the 1994/95 financial year, it is necessary to fix 15 October 1995 as the final date for that payment by derogating from Article 12b (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3061/84;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
For the 1993/94 marketing year for olive oil:
- the quantity actually produced in respect of which entitlement to the production aid has been recognized and which is eligible for reimbursement by the EAGGF Guarantee Section is 1 491 054 tonnes,
- the unit amount of the production aid shall be:
- ECU 60,06/100 kilograms for Spain and Portugal,
- ECU 79,84/100 kilograms for the other Member States.
Notwithstanding Article 12b (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3061/84, Member States shall pay the balance of the production aid for the 1993/94 marketing year, payable to producers whose average output is not less than 500 kilograms, not later than 15 October 1995.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 95/6/EC (2), and in particular Article 14 (1 a) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Directive 74/268/EEC of 2 May 1974 establishing certain conditions concerning the presence of Avena fatua in fodder plant and cereal seed (3), as last amended by Directive 78/511/EEC (4),
Having regard to the request submitted by Sweden,
Whereas the abovementioned Directive lays down tolerances as regards the presence of Avena fatua in cereal seed;
Whereas it nevertheless permits Member States to subject seeds of their home production to requirements which are more rigorous;
Whereas Sweden avails itself of this provision;
Whereas, moreover, there is a campaign to eradicate Avena fatua from crops grown in this Member State;
Whereas the applicant Member State should therefore be authorized to adopt more stringent provisions as regards the marketing of seed originating in other Member States;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Sweden is authorized to prescribe that cereal seed may not be marketed in its territory unless it is accompanied by an official certificate issued in accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of Directive 66/402/EEC and complies with the conditions set out in Article 2 of Directive 74/268/EEC.
Sweden shall notify the Commission as to the date from which and the manner in which it intends to avail itself of the authorization granted in Article 1. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 as regards the use of Advantame as a sweetener
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives (1), and in particular Articles 10(3) and 14 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 establishing a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings (2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 lays down a Union list of food additives approved for use in foods and their conditions of use.
(2) Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 (3) lays down specifications for food additives listed in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008.
(3) Those lists may be updated in accordance with the common procedure referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, either on the initiative of the Commission or following an application.
(4) An application for authorisation of the use of Advantame as a sweetener in several food categories was submitted in May 2010. The application was made available to the Member States pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008.
(5) There is a technological need for the use of Advantame as a high-intensity sweetener in various food and tabletop products in order to replace caloric sugars (sucrose, glucose, fructose, etc.) thus allowing for a reduction of the caloric content of those foodstuffs. The addition of Advantame as a sweetener to the categories of foods in which high-intensity sweeteners are authorised according to Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 will provide manufacturers with greater flexibility in formulating energy-reduced foods with a similar taste profile as the full-caloric equivalent. The flavour and sweetness qualities of Advantame, coupled with good stability characteristics, mean that Advantame provides an alternative to already approved high-intensity sweeteners, offering consumers and the food industry the option to choose from a wider selection of sweeteners, thus reducing the intake of each individual sweetener.
(6) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) evaluated the safety of Advantame when used as a food additive and expressed its opinion on 31 July 2013 (4). The Authority established an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for Advantame of 5 mg/kg bw/day. Conservative estimates of advantame exposure for high level adults and children consumers were below the ADI for the proposed use levels. After considering all the data on stability, degradation products, toxicology and exposure, the Authority concluded that Advantame would not be of safety concern at the proposed uses and use levels as a sweetener.
(7) Therefore, it is appropriate to authorise the use of Advantame as a sweetener in the food categories specified in Annex I to this Regulation and to assign E 969 as an E-number to that food additive.
(8) The specifications for Advantame should be included in Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 when it is included in the Union list of food additives laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 for the first time.
(9) Regulations (EC) No 1333/2008 and (EU) No 231/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 is amended in accordance with Annex II 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.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1476/96 (2), and in particular Article 5 in conjunction with Article 25 (4) thereof,
Whereas by Regulation (EC) No 517/94 the Council introduced the quantitative quotas listed in Annexes III B and VI to that Regulation in respect of the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia;
Whereas following suspension of the embargo vis-Ă -vis the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, annual restrictions were introduced in respect of that country by virtue of Council Regulation (EC) No 538/96 (3) and these are contained in Annexes III B and VI to Regulation (EC) No 517/94;
Whereas the Commission has received requests from Member States to increase certain Community quantitative import limits for products originating in the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in order to satisfy certain market requirements;
Whereas the Council, in setting the initial level of the quotas, has endeavoured to strike a certain balance between providing the requisite protection for the relevant sectors of the Community industry concerned and maintaining an acceptable level of trade with the former Yugoslav Republics, bearing in mind the various interests of the parties concerned;
Whereas analysis of the situation in the Community industry concerned shows that the level of certain quotas could be modified without prejudicing the abovementioned objective;
Whereas the Commission therefore considers it appropriate to adapt the level of some of the quotas on the basis of the quantitative requirements transmitted by the Member States;
Whereas Annexes III B and VI to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 should therefore be adapted;
Whereas the specific management rules for the allocation of the additional quotas for 1996 should therefore be indicated; whereas in the interests of consistency and administrative simplification, the same management rules should be applied as for the allocation of the initial quotas; whereas, to that effect, imports of products originating in the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia should be subject to the relevant provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2738/95 of 28 November 1995 establishing specific rules for the management and allocation of certain quantitative textile quotas introduced for 1996 under Regulation (EC) No 517/94 (4);
Whereas these measures are in line with the opinion of the Committee established by Regulation (EC) No 517/94,
Annexes III B and VI to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 are hereby replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
As regards the quantitative limits applying to the Republics of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the amounts by which the applicable quotas are increased shall be subject in 1996 to the management rules laid down in Articles 2, 8 and 9 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2738/95.

of 13 October 1986
concerning the reduction in the purchase price for wines referred to in Article 14b of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 in respect of the 1986/87 wine-growing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3805/85 (2), and in particular Articles 14b and 65 thereof,
Whereas Article 14b of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 provides, in the case of certain distillation schemes, for a reduction in the purchase price paid to producers who have increased the alcoholic strength of their wine by the addition of sucrose or concentrated grape must in respect of which aid has been applied for or received under Article 14 of the said Regulation; whereas this reduction must take into account the commercial benefits accruing from enrichment;
Whereas there are no officially recognized methods of analysis for determining whether a given batch of wine has been enriched using one of the said techniques; whereas it is furthermore very difficult to establish a link between the enrichment carried out by individual producers and the wine they send for distillation; whereas an exact determination of the commercial benefits accruing to each producer is accordingly possible only at the cost of an excessive amount of administrative effort which is liable to delay the payment of aid and render the overall package of intervention measures ineffective; whereas, therefore, a flat-rate system should be applied to all producers under which the purchase price for wine is based on the average natural alcoholic strength normally achieved in each wine-growing zone, with provision that only producers who have not enriched any part of their production by adding sucrose or concentrated grape must in respect of which aid has been received under Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 are to be paid according to the natural alcoholic strength actually achieved by the wine sent for distillation, even where this is above the maximum limit set;
Whereas the natural alcoholic strength in a given zone can vary widely from one wine year to the next; whereas the average should thus be determined for each wine year;
Whereas, for calculation of the aid for the product obtained from distillation operations under Article 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 and of the quantity of alcohol that can be taken over by the intervention agency under that Article, limits on actual alcoholic strength identical to those to be used for calculation of the purchase price for the wine in question should be used;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
1. The actual alcoholic strength to be taken as a basis for calculating the price in the 1986/87 wine year for wine sent for distillation under one of the schemes referred to in Articles 11, 12a, 15 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 shall not exceed the following limits:
- 8,0 % vol for wine from grapes produced in zone A,
- 8,5 % vol for wine grapes produced in zone B,
- 10,0 % vol for wine from grapes produced in zone C I (a),
- 10,5 % vol for wine from grapes produced in zone C I (b),
- 11,0 % vol for wine from grapes produced in zone C II,
- 11,5 % vol for wine from grapes produced in zones C III.
2. However, the alcoholic strength to be taken as a basis for the calculation referred to in paragraph 1 shall be the natural alcoholic strength actually achieved in wine sent for distillation by those producers who furnish evidence to the competent authorities of the Member States that, during the wine year in which the wine sent for distillation is made, they have not increased the alcoholic strength of any part of their production:
- either by the addition of concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must in respect of which aid has been applied for or received under Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79, or
- by the addition of sucrose.
1. The aid to be paid to distillers for products distilled under one of the schemes referred to in Article 1 (1) shall be calculated on the basis of the alcoholic strength of the product obtained from distillation reduced by a percentage corresponding to the difference between the actual alcoholic strength of the wine delivered and the limit set in Article 1 (1).
2. The maximum quantity that may be taken over by the intervention agency under Article 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 shall be obtained by multiplying the total quantity of wine delivered by the maximum alcoholic strength specified in Article 1 (1) and dividing the result by the alcoholic strength of the product obtained from distillation that is delivered.
3. In cases where the delivery of wine for compulsory distillation under Article 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 is effected by a producer other than the person on whom the obligation falls the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall apply to the wine of the producer effecting delivery.
Member States shall take all measures necessary for the verification of data provided under Article 1 and of compliance with the provisions thereof.
They shall notify these measures to the Commission without delay.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 September 1986.

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 22 April 1988
concerning applications for refund of anti-dumping duties collected on certain imports of certain ball bearings originating in Singapore (NMB Italia SA)
(Only the Italian text is authentic)
(88/329/EEC)
THE COMMISSION 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), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1761/87 (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) On 19 July 1984, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2089/84 (3), a definitive anti-dumping duty of 33,89 % was imposed on imports of certain ball bearings manufactured and exported by the Minebea group of companies and originating in Singapore.
(2) In 1985 and 1986 NMB (Italia) SA, Bareggio, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Japanese mother company of the Minebea group, applied, on a regular basis, for the refund of anti-dumping duties amounting in total to Lit . . . (4) paid on imports of the ball bearings during the two years in question. This amount represents part of the anti-dumping duties paid; a refund of the remainder was not requested.
(3) Following submissions by the applicant, additional information on certain costs, prices, commercial conditions and commercial activities of the Minebea group outside Singapore was requested by the Commission on the basis of the Commission notice concerning the reimbursement of antidumping duties (5) (hereinafter referred to as Notice). The applicant complied with all requests for additional information to the satisfaction of the Commission. Subsequently, the applicant was informed of the preliminary results of this examination and given an opportunity to comment on it. It did so, and the comments were taken into consideration prior to this Decision.
(4) The Commission informed the Member States and gave its opinion on the matter. No Member State disagreed with this opinion.
B. Argument of the applicant
(5) The applicant has based its claims on the allegation that, for certain sales in the Community, export prices were such that either dumping did not exist or that dumping existed at a level lower than the level of the definitive duty of 33,89 %.
C. Admissibility
(6) The applications are admissible since they were introduced in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Community's anti-dumping legislation, in particular that concerning time limits.
D. Merits of the claim
(7) The applications are founded in part; for the rest they are unfounded. According to Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84, anti-dumping duties paid by an importer shall be reimbursed if the importer shows that the duty collected exceeds the actual dumping margin, consideration being given to any application of weighted averages. Pursuant to Article 16 (1) and Part II of the Notice the applicant proved that the duty collected exceeded the actual dumping margin to varying degrees depending on the shipment and the bearing type partly as a result of normal value having decreased. To this extent the applications were founded and the applicant agrees with the Commission's calculation. The amount to be refunded is Lit . . .
(8) The applicant requests, however, the refund of an additional amount. For the determination of this additional amount, the applicant agrees with the Commission that, when calculating the dumping margin for the purpose of establishing whether it was exceeded by the level of duty or not, the export prices have to be constructed in accordance with Article 2 (8) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84. Article 2 (8) (b) provides that an export price is
constructed on the basis of the price at which the imported product is first resold to an independent buyer and that allowance shall be made for all costs incurred by the related importer between importation and resale, including customs duties, any anti-dumping duties and other taxes, and for a reasonable profit margin.
The applicant maintains, however, that in constructing the export price, the anti-dumping duty should not be deducted; this would then result in a lower dumping margin for the refund calculation and consequently in a higher amount to be refunded.
The applicant justifies its request by claiming that, as a result of the Commission's position, imports by independent importers are treated differently from imports by related importers.
The Commission has evaluated this argument; it does not find it acceptable.
It is of the opinion that the wording of Article 2 (8) (b) is clear: all duties, including anti-dumping duties have to be deducted from the resale price. The Commission would, therefore, by granting the applicant's request, infringe the express requirement of Article 2 (8) (b) and of Part II 2 (b) and (c) of the Notice. Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 establishes different rules for the determination of the export price in different situations depending on whether the importer is related to the exporter or not. This cannot be considered discriminatory.
The second essential argument by the applicant, who sold on a duty-paid basis, is that a simple increase of its resale price in the Community by an amount equivalent to the amount of the duty, would not allow it to qualify for a refund. The Commission stresses that, had the applicant sold on a duty-unpaid basis, a single increase would have been sufficient to allow it to qualify for a refund.
Even where, as in the applicant's situation, the imported product was resold in the Community on a duty-paid basis, only one increase of the resale price by an amount equivalent to the amount of the duty is necessary, provided that the Commission is satisfied that in the particular circumstances of the case under consideration this increase in the price paid by the independent buyer eliminates or reduces the dumping margin and does not represent merely the anti-dumping duty which the importer could pass back to its customer if it obtained a refund. This could be the case, for example, if either the costs incurred between importation and resale by NMB or Minebea's normal value had been reduced since the original investigation period. In addition, other changes in circumstances could require the application of different adjustment or calculation methods which could lead to the same result, i.e. the elimination or reduction of the dumping margin by a single price increase. In the present case there is no evidence that these conditions are met.
For these reasons the applicant's request for the refund of an additional amount has to be rejected,
The refund applications submitted by NMB (Italia) SA, Bareggio, for the years 1985 and 1986 are granted for Lit . . . and rejected for the remainder.
The amount set out in Article 1 shall be refunded by the authorities of the Republic of Italy.

of 30 August 2001
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector 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 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), and in particular Article 27(5)(a) and (15),
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1260/2001 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a), (c), (d), (f), (g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in the Annex to that Regulation. 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 the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2390/2000(3), 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 I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
(2) In accordance with 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) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lay down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(4) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(5) 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 jeopardized 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.
(6) Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not provide for the compensation system for storage costs to be extended after 1 July 2001. This should therefore be taken into account when fixing the amounts of refunds, in particular with regard to the advance-fixing options.
(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 Sugar,
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(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, are fixed as shown in the Annex hereto.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 1009/67/EEC (1) of 18 December 1967 on the common organisation of the market in sugar, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1253/70, (2) and in particular Articles 11 (2) and 15 (4) thereof;
Whereas Article 1 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 770/68 (3) of 18 June 1968 on the advance fixing of levies on sugar provides that the levy applicable to imports of molasses shall be fixed in advance if importation is necessary to ensure supplies to specified areas of the Community;
Whereas it can be assumed from the present supply situation for molasses that production from the 1969 crop will fall short of foreseeable consumption in certain large areas in the north of the Community ; whereas a decision must therefore be taken to apply advance fixing to levies on molasses until such time as the supply situation changes;
Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 11 (1) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC specifies that the issue of licences is conditional on the lodging of a deposit which will be forfeited in whole or in part if importation or exportation is not effected ; whereas detailed rules concerning these deposits were laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 836/68 (4) of 28 June 1968 on import and export licences for sugar, sugar beet and molasses, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 877/69 (5);
Whereas experience gained in applying these provisions has demonstrated that, to ensure fuller compliance with the obligation to import, some of the deposits specified for molasses should be increased;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar;
Advance fixing of the import levies shall apply to the products listed in Article 1 (1) (c) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC.
1. The words "0.12 units of account" shall be substituted for the words "0.02 units of account" in the third indent of (b) of the second subparagraph of Article 11 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 836/68.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (1), and in particular Article 142(e) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 124(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 lays down the rules fixing the agricultural area of the new Member States under the single area payment scheme provided for in Article 122 of that Regulation.
(2) In accordance with Article 89 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1121/2009 (2), the agricultural area for Cyprus is set out in Annex VIII to that Regulation.
(3) By letter of 13 August 2013, Cyprus has informed the Commission that it had reviewed its utilised agricultural area eligible for the single area payment scheme, as referred to in Article 124(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. The revision takes account of the fact that many producers have abandoned their cultivated land in recent years, following exceptional weather conditions in the years 2006-2009 manifested by significant droughts and shortages of water supply for irrigation systems, which had a severe impact on the integrity of the network of dams in Cyprus. Accordingly, the overall area for which the single area payment is claimed has been declining since 2007, which demonstrates the permanent nature of such land abandonment and justifies a revision of the utilised agricultural area. Furthermore, the revision follows from the experience gained in recent years from the verification of the eligibility conditions for the single area payment under the single area payment scheme, which resulted in an update of the identification system for agricultural parcels referred to in Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, and which has shown that the utilised agricultural area maintained in good agricultural condition on 30 June 2003 was less than previously estimated. The agricultural area for the single area payment scheme should therefore be reduced to 127 000 ha.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1121/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The amendment proposed by this Regulation should apply to aid applications as from calendar year 2013.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,
In Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1121/2009, the row concerning Cyprus is replaced by the following:

of 17 March 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) The processing aid for short flax fibre and hemp fibre containing not more than 7,5 % impurities and shives applies until the end of 2007/2008 marketing year. Nevertheless, in view of the favourable trends on the market for this kind of fibre under the current aid scheme and in order to contribute to consolidating innovative products and their market outlets, application of this aid should be extended until the end of the 2008/2009 marketing year.
(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 of 27 July 2000 on the common organisation of the markets in flax and hemp grown for fibre (1) provided for an increase in the level of processing aid for long flax fibre from the 2008/2009 marketing year onwards. Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 has been replaced by Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as of the marketing year 2008/2009. The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 were drafted in view of the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 as they would have applied as of that marketing year, therefore fixing the aid at the level foreseen. Since the processing aid for short fibres is maintained till the end of the 2008/2009 marketing year, the processing aid for long flax fibre for that additional marketing year should be maintained at the level that has so far been foreseen in Regulation (EC) No 1673/2000 until the end of the 2007/2008 marketing year.
(3) In order to promote the production of high-quality short flax and hemp fibres, the aid is granted to fibres containing a maximum of 7,5 % of impurities and shives. However, the Member States may derogate from this limit and grant processing aid for short flax fibre containing a percentage of impurities and shives of between 7,5 % and 15 % and for hemp fibre containing a percentage of impurities and shives of between 7,5 % and 25 %. Since this possibility is open only till the end of the 2007/2008 marketing year, it is necessary to give the Member States the possibility to derogate from that limit for one more marketing year.
(4) As new market outlets have developed it is required to guarantee a minimum level of raw material supply. So in order to continue to ensure reasonable production levels in each Member State, it is necessary to extend the period in which the national guaranteed quantities apply.
(5) Additional aid has been supporting the continuation of traditional production of flax in certain regions of the Netherlands, Belgium and France. In order to continue enabling gradual adaptation of farm structures to the new market conditions, it is necessary to extend this transitional aid until the end of 2008/2009 marketing year.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the title of Subsection II of Section I of Chapter IV of Title I of Part II shall be replaced by the following:
2. Article 91 shall be amended as follows:
(a) the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 shall be replaced by the following subparagraphs:
(b) paragraph 2 shall be replaced by the following:
3. Article 92(1) shall be replaced by the following:
(a) for long flax fibre:
— at EUR 160 per tonne for the 2008/2009 marketing year,
— at EUR 200 per tonne from the 2009/2010 marketing year onwards;
(b) during the marketing year 2008/2009, for short flax and hemp fibre containing not more than 7,5 % impurities and shives, at EUR 90 per tonne.
(a) for short flax fibre containing a percentage of impurities and shives of between 7,5 % and 15 %;
(b) for hemp fibre containing a percentage of impurities and shives of between 7,5 % and 25 %.
4. Article 94 shall be amended as follows:
(a) paragraph 1 shall be replaced by the following:
(b) the following paragraph shall be inserted after paragraph 1:
(c) the following paragraph shall be added:
5. the following Article shall be inserted after Article 94:
(a) a sale/purchase contract or a commitment as referred to in Article 91(1); and
(b) aid for processing into long fibre.
6. Annex XI shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include diethofencarb as active substance and amending Decision 2008/934/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included diethofencarb.
(2) In accordance with Article 11e of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within 2 months from receipt of the draft assessment report. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of diethofencarb.
(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).
(4) The application was submitted to France, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(5) France evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 21 December 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on diethofencarb to the Commission on 7 September 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion 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 28 January 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for diethofencarb.
(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing diethofencarb 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 have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include diethofencarb in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.
(7) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit further information confirming the potential uptake of the metabolite 6-NO2-DFC in succeeding crops and the risk assessment for non-target arthropod species.
(8) 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 prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.
(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing diethofencarb to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.
(10) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of 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 (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.
(11) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(12) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of diethofencarb and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning diethofencarb in the Annex to that Decision.
(13) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.
(14) 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.
The line concerning diethofencarb in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted.
Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2011 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 December 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
1. Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing diethofencarb as an active substance by 30 November 2011.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to diethofencarb are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing diethofencarb 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 31 May 2011 at the latest, Member States shall 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 to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning diethofencarb. 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.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing diethofencarb as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing diethofencarb as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2071/92 (2), and in particular Articles 9 (3) and 28 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 508/71 of 8 March 1971 laying down general rules on private storage aid for long-keeping cheeses (3) permits the granting of private storage aid for sheep's milk cheeses requiring at least six months for maturing where a serious market imbalance could be eliminated or reduced by seasonal storage;
Whereas the market in Pecorino Romano cheese is at present disturbed by the existence of stocks which are difficult to sell and which are causing a lowering of prices; whereas seasonal storage should therefore be introduced for the quantities to improve the situation and allow producers time to find outlets for their cheese;
Whereas the detailed rules for the application of such measures should essentially be the same as those laid down for a similar measure during previous years;
Whereas experience of the different private storage arrangements for agricultural products indicates that it should be specified to what extent Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1182/71 (4) is applicable for determination of the periods, dates and time limits mentioned in these arrangements and that the dates of the beginning and end of storage under contract should be precisely defined;
Whereas experience shows that provisions on checks should be laid down, particularly as regards the documents to be submitted and checks to be made on the spot; whereas therefore, it should be provided that Member States require the costs of checks be fully or partly borne by the contractor;
Whereas it is approriata to guarantee the continuation of the storage operations in question;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk products,
Aid shall be granted in respect of the private storage of 9 000 tonnes of Pecorino Romano cheese manufactured in the Community and satisfying the requirements of Articles 2 and 3.
1. The intervention agency shall conclude storage contracts only when the following conditions are met:
(a) the quantity of cheese to which the contract relates is not less than two tonnes;
(b) the cheese was manufactured at least 90 days before the date specified in the contract as being the date of commencement of storage, and after 1 November 1992;
(c) the cheese has undergone tests which show that it meets the condition laid down in (b) and that it is of first quality;
(d) the storer undertakes:
- to keep the cheese during the entire period of storage in premises where the maximum temperature is +16 °C,
- not, during the term of the contract, to alter the composition of the batch which is the subject of the contract without authorization from the intervention agency. If the condition concerning the minimum quantity fixed for each batch continues to be met, the intervention agency may authorize an alteration which is limited to the removal or replacement of cheeses which are found to have deteriorated to such an extent that they can no longer be stored.
In the event of release from store of certain quantities:
(i) if the aforesaid quantities are replaced with the authorization of the intervention agency, the contract is deemed not to have undergone any alteration,
(ii) if the aforesaid quantities are not replaced, the contract is deemed to have been concluded ab initio for the quantity permanently retained.
Any supervisory costs arising from an alteration shall be met by the storer,
- to keep stock accounts and to inform the intervention agency each week of the quantity of cheese put into from storage during the previous week and of any planned withdrawals.
2. The storage contract shall be concluded:
(a) in writing, stating the date when storage covered by the contract begins; this may not be earlier than the day following that on which the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage were completed;
(b) after completion of the operations connected with putting the batch of cheese covered by the contract into storage and at the latest 40 days after the date on which the storage covered by the contract begins.
1. Aid shall be granted only for cheese put into storage during the period 15 May to 31 December 1993.
2. No aid shall be granted in respect of storage under contract for less than 60 days.
3. The aid payable may not exceed an amount corresponding to 150 days storage under contract terminating before 31 March 1993. By way of derogation from the second indent of Article 2 (1) (d), when the period of 60 days specified in paragraph 2 has elapsed, the storer may remove all or part of the batch under contract. The minimum quantity that may be removed shall be 500 kilograms. The Member States may, however, increase this quantity to two tonnes.
The date of the start of operations to remove cheese covered by the contract shall not be included in the period of storage under contract.
1. The amount of aid shall be ECU 2,13 per tonne per day.
2. The amount of aid in ecus in relation to a storage contract shall be that applying on the first day of storage under contract. It shall be converted into national currency at the representative rate applicable on the last day of storage under contract.
3. Aid shall be paid not later than 90 days from the last day of storage under contract.
The periods, dates and time limits mentioned in this Regulation shall be determined in accordance with Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1182/71. However, Article 3 (4) of that Regulation shall not apply for determination of the duration of storage under contract.
1. The Member States shall ensure that the conditions granting entitlement to payment of the aid are fulfilled.
2. The contractor shall make available to the national authorities responsible for verifying execution of the measure any documentation permitting in particular the following particulars of products placed in private storage to be verified:

(c) the number of cheeses and their weight shown for each lot;
(d) the location of the products in the store.
4. Products stored must be easily identifiable and must be identified individually by contract. A special mark shall be affixed to cheese covered by contract.
5. Without prejudice to Article 2 (1) (d), on entry into storage, the competent bodies shall conduct checks in particular to ensure that products stored are eligible, for the aid and to prevent any possibility of substitution of products during storage under contract.
6. The national authorities responsible for controls shall undertake:
(a) an unannounced check to see that the products are present in the store. The sample concerned must be representative and must correspond to at least 10 % of the overall quantity under contract for a private storage aid measure. Such checks must include, in addition to an examination of the accounts referred to in paragraph 3, a physical check of the weight and type of product and their identification. Such physical checks must relate to at least 5 % of the quantity subject to the unannounced check;
(b) a check to see that the products are present at the end of the storage period under contract.
7. Checks conducted pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 6 must be the subject of a report stating:
- the date of the check,
- its duration,
- the operations conducted.
The report on checks must be signed by the official responsible and countersigned by the contractor or, where applicable, by the store operator.
8. In the case of irregularities affecting at least 5 % of the quantities of products subject to the checks the latter shall be extended to a larger sample to be determined by the competent body.
The Member States shall notify such cases to the Commission within four weeks.
9. The Member States may provide that the costs of checks will be borne partly or fully by the contractor.
Member States shall communicate to the Commission on or before the Tuesday of each week:

of 26 July 2007
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 september 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 July 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
