| Commission Decision
of 26 November 2002
conferring management of aid on implementing agencies for pre-accession measures in agriculture and rural development in Hungary in the pre-accession period
(2002/927/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 of 21 June 1999 on coordinating aid to the applicant countries in the framework of the pre-accession strategy and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89(1), and in particular Article 12(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 of 21 June 1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2500/2001(3), a Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development for Hungary was approved by Commission Decision on 18 October 2000, and amended by Commission Decision of 26 November 2002.
(2) The Hungarian Government and the Commission, acting on behalf of the Community, signed on 1 March 2001 the Multiannual Financing Agreement (hereinafter MAFA) laying down the technical, legal and administrative framework for the execution of the Special Accession Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (hereinafter the "Sapard Programme").
(3) The competent authority of Hungary has appointed as the Sapard Agency a public institution with legal status, subordinate to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. It will be responsible for implementing some of the measures defined in the Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development. The Ministry of Finance, National Fund, has been established for the financial functions which it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard programme.
(4) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and in accordance with the rules provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 of 7 June 2000 laying down financial rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period(4), as amended by Regulation (CE) No 2252/2001(5), the Commission analysed on a case-by-case basis the national and sectorial programme/project management capacity, financial control procedures and structures regarding public finance and considers that, for the implementation of the aforementioned measures, Hungary complies with the provisions of Articles 4 to 6 and of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, and with the minimum conditions set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999.
(5) In particular, the Sapard Agency has implemented the following key accreditation criteria satisfactorily: written procedures, segregation of duties, pre-project approval and pre-payment checks, payment procedures, accounting procedures, computer security, internal audit, and, where appropriate, public procurement provisions.
(6) On 27 August 2002, the Hungarian authorities provided the revised list of eligible expenditure in conformity with Section B of Article 4(1) of the MAFA, which did not give rise to objections by the Commission.
(7) The Ministry of Finance, National Fund, has implemented the following criteria satisfactorily for the financial functions which it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard programme for Hungary: audit trail, treasury management, receipt of funds, disbursements to the Sapard Agency, computer security and internal audit.
(8) It is therefore appropriate to waive the ex-ante approval requirement provided for in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and to confer on the Sapard Agency and on the Ministry of Finance, National Fund, in Hungary, the management of aid on a decentralised basis.
(9) However, since the verifications carried out by the Commission are based on an operational, but not operating system, it is appropriate to confer the management of the Sapard Programme on the Sapard Agency and on the Ministry of Finance, National Fund, according to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, on a provisional basis.
(10) Full conferral of management of the Sapard Programme is only envisaged after further verifications to ensure that the system operates satisfactorily have been carried out and after any recommendations which the Commission may issue, with regard to the conferral of management of aid on the Sapard Agency and on the Ministry of Finance, National Fund, have been implemented.
(11) In order to take account of the requirements of Section A of Article 8(1)(b), of the MAFA, rules for the eligibility for Community cofinance of expenditure pursuant to this Decision should be set out,
The requirement of ex-ante approval by the Commission of project selection and contracting by Hungary provided for in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 is hereby waived.
Management of the Sapard Programme is conferred on a provisional basis to:
(a) the Sapard Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Hungary, for the implementation of the following measures, as defined in the Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development for Hungary: "Investments in agricultural holdings", "Processing and marketing of agricultural and fishery products", "Development and improvement of rural infrastructure" and "Technical assistance";
(b) the Ministry of Finance, National Fund, for the financial functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard programme for Hungary.
Expenditure pursuant to this Decision shall be eligible for Community cofinance only if incurred by beneficiaries from the date of adoption of this Decision or, if later, from the date of conclusion of the instrument making them a beneficiary for the project in question, except for feasibility and related studies and for technical assistance, where this date shall be 18 October 2000, provided in all cases it has not been paid by the Sapard Agency prior to the date of adoption of this Decision. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(2) Article 2 states that the Regulation shall apply from 1 July 2002. As this date could cause some confusion, the scope of the Regulations application should be made explicit.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 617/2008
of 27 June 2008
laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards marketing standards for eggs for hatching and farmyard poultry chicks
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 121(f) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) As of 1 July 2008, Council Regulation (EEC) No 2782/75 of 29 October 1975 on the production and marketing of eggs for hatching and of farmyard poultry chicks (2) is repealed by Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(2) Certain provisions and obligations laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2782/75 have not been incorporated in Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3) Certain appropriate provisions and obligations should therefore be adopted within the framework of a Regulation laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in order to ensure the continuity and smooth running of the common organisation of the market, and in particular marketing standards.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down the basic requirements which eggs for hatching and farmyard poultry chicks must satisfy to be marketed in the Community. For the sake of clarity, new detailed rules for the implementation of those requirements should be laid down. Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1868/77 (3), which lays down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 2782/75, should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new Regulation.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 laid down certain rules for the production and marketing of eggs for hatching and of farmyard poultry chicks. The implementation of these rules requires rules of application aimed, inter alia, at preventing the marketing of eggs removed from the incubator unless they have a special distinguishing mark, at specifying the markings to be made on eggs and the packaging of eggs for hatching and chicks, and providing for communication of the necessary information.
(6) Each establishment should be given a distinguishing registration number based on a code drawn up in each Member State so that it is possible to determine the activity in which the establishment is engaged.
(7) The collection system for data concerning intra-Community trade in and production of chicks and eggs for hatching should be adequately maintained in order to establish short-term production estimates. It is for each Member State to lay down the penalties for infringements of these provisions.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

amending Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 laying down animal health conditions for imports of certain birds into the Community and the quarantine conditions thereof
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/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 second subparagraph of Article 10(3) and the first subparagraph of Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (2) and in particular the fourth indent of Article 18(1),
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 (3) lays down the animal health conditions for imports of certain birds other than poultry into the Community and the quarantine conditions applicable to such birds after import.
(2) It is appropriate to explicitly state that only imports of captive bred birds is authorised under Regulation (EC) No 318/2007. For the sake of clarity, it should also be explicitly stated that birds may only be imported into the Community under Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 if they come from approved breeding establishments.
(3) After imports, the imported birds are to be transported directly to an approved quarantine facility or centre in a Member State, where they must remain until infection with avian influenza or Newcastle disease virus is ruled out.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 provides that in case avian influenza or Newcastle disease is suspected in an approved quarantine facility or in a unit of an approved quarantine centre, all birds in the quarantine facility or unit of a quarantine centre are to be killed and destroyed before the suspicion is confirmed by laboratory testing.
(5) However, because these birds suspected to be infected by avian influenza or Newcastle disease are kept in an approved quarantine facility or in a unit of an approved quarantine centre, there is no risk of the disease spreading further.
(6) Therefore, it is appropriate to wait until the suspicion is confirmed to rule out any other cause of disease symptoms before commencing to kill and destroy the birds in the affected premises.
(7) Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 sets out a list of quarantine facilities and centres approved by the competent authorities of the Member States for import of certain birds other than poultry. Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom have reviewed their approved quarantine facilities and centres and have sent an updated list of those quarantine facilities and centres to the Commission. The list of approved quarantine facilities and centres set out in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Regulation (EC) No 318/2007 is amended as follows:
1. in Article 4, the introductory phrase is replaced by the following:

(ii) where no sentinel birds are used, during 7 to 15 days following the final cleaning and disinfection, samples for virological examination, as set out in point 2 of Annex VI, must be taken from birds in the other quarantine units;
(d) no birds shall leave the approved quarantine centre until the results of the sampling provided for in point (c) have been confirmed as negative.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1556/2007
of 20 December 2007
fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 December 2007.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Articles 3(3) and 4(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Outbreaks of Newcastle disease occurred in the United Kingdom in 2005. The emergence of that disease presented a serious risk to the Community’s livestock population.
(2) In order to prevent the spread of the disease and to help eradicate it as quickly as possible, the Community should contribute financially towards the eligible expenditure incurred by the Member State under the emergency measures taken to combat the disease, as provided for in Decision 90/424/EEC.
(3) Commission Decision 2006/602/EC of 6 September 2006 concerning a financial contribution by the Community in the context of emergency measures taken to combat Newcastle disease in the United Kingdom in 2005 (2) granted a financial contribution at the rate of 50 % of the expenditure eligible for Community funding for the implementation of the measures taken to combat this outbreak.
(4) Pursuant to that Decision, the Community financial contribution is to be paid on the basis of the request submitted by the United Kingdom on 11 June 2007 and supporting documents set out in Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (3).
(5) In view of those considerations, the total amount of the Community’s financial contribution to the eligible expenditure incurred associated with the eradication of Newcastle disease in the United Kingdom in 2005 should now be fixed.
(6) The results of the inspections carried out by the Commission in compliance with the Community veterinary rules and the conditions for granting Community financial contributions mean the entire amount of the expenditure submitted cannot be recognised as eligible.
(7) The Commission’s observations, method of calculating the eligible expenditure and final conclusions were communicated to the United Kingdom in a letter dated 21 December 2007.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The total Community financial contribution towards the expenditure associated with eradicating Newcastle disease in the United Kingdom in 2005 pursuant to Decision 2006/602/EC is fixed at EUR 75 958,12.

of 18 July 2003
initiating a "new exporter" review of Council Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain polyethylene terephtalate (PET) originating, inter alia, in Thailand, repealing the duty with regard to imports from one exporting exporter in this country and making these imports subject to registration
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96(1) of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (the Basic Regulation), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1972/2002(2) and in particular Article 11(4),
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST FOR A REVIEW
(1) The Commission has received an application for a "new exporter" review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the Basic Regulation. The application was lodged by Indo Pet (Thailand) Ltd. (the applicant), an exporting producer in Thailand (the country concerned).
B. PRODUCT
(2) The product under review is polyethylene terephtalate (PET) with a coefficient of viscosity of 78 ml/g or higher, according to DIN (Deutsche Industrienorm) 53728 originating in Thailand (the product concerned), currently classifiable within CN code 3907 60 20. This CN code is given only for information.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(3) The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000(3) under which imports into the Community of the product concerned, are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty of EUR 83,2 per tonne.
D. GROUNDS FOR THE REVIEW
(4) The applicant alleges that it did not export the product concerned to the Community during the period of investigation on which the anti-dumping measures were based, i.e. the period from 1 October 1998 to 30 September 1999 (the original investigation period) and that it is not related to any of the exporting producers of the product which are subject to the abovementioned anti-dumping measures.
(5) The applicant further alleges that they have begun exporting the product concerned to the Community after the end of the original investigation period.
E. PROCEDURE
(6) Community producers known to be concerned have been informed of the above application and have been given an opportunity to comment. No comments have been received.
(7) Having examined the evidence available, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a "new exporter" review, pursuant to Article 11(4) of the Basic Regulation, with a view to determine the applicant's individual margin of dumping and, should dumping be found, the level of the duty to which their imports of the product concerned into the Community should be subject.
(a) Questionnaires
(8) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send a questionnaire to the applicant.
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
(9) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence.
(10) Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing showing that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
F. REPEAL OF THE DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS
(11) Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the Basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned which are produced and sold for export to the Community by the applicant. At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the Basic Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a finding of dumping in respect of the applicants, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively from the date of the initiation of this review. The amount of the applicant's possible future liabilities cannot be estimated at this stage of the proceeding.
G. TIME LIMITS
(12) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
- interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit the replies to the questionnaire mention in paragraph E(a) of this Regulation or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,
- interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.
H. NON-COOPERATION
(13) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to, or otherwise does not provide, the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the Basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
(14) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of the facts available,
A review of Council Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000 is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 11(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 in order to determine if and to what extent the imports of polyethylene terephtalate (PET) with a coefficient of viscosity of 78 ml/g or higher, according to DIN (Deutsche Industrienorm) 53728 falling within CN code 3907 60 20, produced and sold for export to the Community by Indo Pet (Thailand) Ltd. should be subject to the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000.
The anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000 is hereby repealed with regard to the imports identified in Article 1 of the present Regulation (TARIC additional code: A468).
The customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports identified in Article 1 of this Regulation. Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
1. Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit the replies to the questionnaire mentioned in paragraph E(a) of this Regulation or any other information, unless otherwise specified, within 40 days of the entry into force of this Regulation. Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the Basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the aforementioned period.
Interested parties may also apply in writing to be heard by the Commission within the same 40-day time limit.
2. All submissions and requests made by interested parties must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified), and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax, and/or telex number of the interested party. All written submissions, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis shall be labelled as "Limited(4)" and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of the basic Regulation, shall be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which will be labelled "For inspection by interested parties".

(3) Council Regulation (EC) No 711/2006 of 20 March 2006 concerning the implementation of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the United States of America pursuant to Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions in the schedules of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic in the course of their accession to the European Union, amending and supplementing Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (4) provides for additional allocations to several quotas of cheeses under the annual import tariff quota.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to adjust the concerned quota quantities referred to in Annex I.A to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001.

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;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1581/96 (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 (3) 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 1995/96 marketing year, the estimated production aid which may be paid in advance was fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1888/96 (5);
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 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1110/97 (7), 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 1995/96 marketing year amounts 625 000 tonnes for Italy, 2 450 tonnes for France, 445 000 tonnes for Greece, 375 000 tonnes for Spain and 34 000 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, in view of the exceptional circumstances which have led to a certain delay in fixing actual production for the 1995/96 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 1997 financial year, it is necessary to fix 15 October 1997 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 1995/96 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 1 481 450 tonnes,
- the unit amount of the production aid shall be ECU 129,57 per 100 kilograms.
Notwithstanding Article 12b (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3061/84, Member States shall pay the balance of the production aid for the 1995/96 marketing year, payable to producers whose average output is not less than 500 kilograms, not later than 15 October 1997.

DECISION No 582/2008/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 17 June 2008
introducing a simplified regime for the control of persons at the external borders based on the unilateral recognition by Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania of certain documents as equivalent to their national visas for the purposes of transit through their territories
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 62(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (1),
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 4(1) of the 2005 Act of Accession, Bulgaria and Romania, which acceded to the Union on 1 January 2007, are required from that date to subject nationals of third countries, which are listed in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 of 15 March 2001 listing the third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders and those whose nationals are exempt from that requirement (2), to a visa obligation.
(2) According to Article 4(2) of the 2005 Act of Accession, the provisions of the Schengen acquis on the conditions and criteria for issuing uniform visas, as well as the provisions on mutual recognition of visas and on the equivalence between residence permits and visas, apply in Bulgaria and Romania only pursuant to a Council decision to that effect. However, they are binding on those Member States from the date of accession.
(3) Bulgaria and Romania are therefore required to issue national visas for entry into or transit through their territory to third country nationals holding a uniform visa or long-stay visa or residence permit issued by a Member State fully implementing the Schengen acquis or similar document issued by Cyprus, a Member State not yet fully implementing it.
(4) The holders of documents issued by those Member States fully implementing the Schengen acquis and similar documents issued by Cyprus do not represent any risk for Bulgaria and Romania as they have been subjected to all necessary controls by other Member States. In order to avoid imposing unjustified additional administrative burdens on Bulgaria and Romania, rules similar to the common rules introduced by Decision No 895/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 introducing a simplified regime for the control of persons at the external borders based on the unilateral recognition by the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia of certain documents as equivalent to their national visas for the purposes of transit through their territories (3) should be introduced for Bulgaria and Romania.
(5) Common rules laid down in this Decision should authorise Bulgaria and Romania to recognise unilaterally certain documents issued by Member States fully implementing the Schengen acquis and documents listed in the Annex to Decision No 895/2006/EC issued by Cyprus, as equivalent to their national visas and to establish a simplified regime for the control of persons at the external borders based on this unilateral equivalence.
(6) Those common rules should also enable Cyprus to recognise visas and residence permits issued by Bulgaria and Romania as equivalent to its national visas for the purpose of transit through its territory.
(7) The simplified regime laid down in this Decision should apply for a transitional period, until the date to be determined by a Council decision as referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession in respect of Cyprus and the first subparagraph of Article 4(2) of the 2005 Act of Accession in respect of Bulgaria and Romania, subject to possible transitional provisions in respect of documents issued before that date.
(8) The recognition of a document should be limited to the purpose of transit through the territory of Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania. Participation in the simplified regime should be optional, without imposing on the Member States obligations additional to those laid down by the 2003 Act of Accession and the 2005 Act of Accession.
(9) The common rules should apply to uniform visas, long-stay visas and residence permits issued by Member States fully implementing the Schengen acquis (which also include, as from 21 December 2007, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia), similar documents issued by Cyprus as well as to short-term visas, long-stay visas and residence permits issued by Bulgaria and Romania.
(10) The entry conditions laid down in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) (4) have to be fulfilled, with the exception of the condition laid down in Article 5(1)(b) thereof, insofar as this Decision extending the common rules provided for in Decision No 895/2006/EC sets up a regime of unilateral recognition by Bulgaria and Romania of certain documents issued by Member States fully implementing the Schengen acquis, similar documents issued by Cyprus as well as unilateral recognition by Cyprus of short-term visas, long-stay visas and residence permits issued by Bulgaria and Romania for the purpose of transit.
(11) Since the objective of this Decision, namely the introduction of a regime of unilateral recognition by Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania of certain documents issued by other Member States, cannot be sufficiently achieved by Member States and can, therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve this objective.
(12) This Decision does not constitute a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis
(5), as it is addressed only to Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania which are not yet fully implementing the Schengen acquis. However, for the coherence and proper functioning of the Schengen system, this Decision also covers visas and residence permits issued by third countries such as Iceland and Norway, which are associated with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis and which fully implement it.
(13) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the Position of the United Kingdom and Ireland, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, these Member States are not taking part in the adoption of this Decision.
(14) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the Position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application,
This Decision introduces a simplified regime for the control of persons at the external borders whereby:
— Bulgaria and Romania may recognise unilaterally as equivalent to their national visas for the purpose of transit the documents referred to in Articles 2 and 3, as well as those referred to in Article 4, issued by those two Member States and by Cyprus to third country nationals subject to a visa obligation pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 539/2001,
— Cyprus may recognise unilaterally as equivalent to its national visas for the purpose of transit the documents referred to in Article 4 issued by Bulgaria and Romania to third country nationals subject to a visa obligation pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 539/2001.
The implementation of this Decision shall not affect the checks to be carried out on persons at the external borders in accordance with Articles 5 to 13 and Articles 18 to 19 of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006.
1. Bulgaria and Romania may consider as equivalent to their national visa, for the purpose of transit, the following documents issued by the Member States fully implementing the Schengen acquis, irrespective of the nationality of the holders:
(i) a ‘uniform visa’ as referred to in Article 10 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement;
(ii) a ‘long-stay visa’ as referred to in Article 18 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement;
(iii) a ‘residence permit’ as included in Annex IV to the Common Consular Instructions.
2. If Bulgaria and Romania decide to apply this Decision, they shall recognise all the documents referred to in paragraph 1, regardless of which State issued the document.
If Bulgaria and Romania decide to apply Article 2, they may recognise national short-term visas, long-stay visas and residence permits issued by Cyprus as equivalent to their national visas for the purpose of transit.
Documents issued by Cyprus which may be recognised are listed in the Annex to Decision No 895/2006/EC.
Moreover, Bulgaria and Romania may also recognise national short-term visas, long-stay visas and residence permits issued by each other as equivalent to their national visas for the purpose of transit.
The documents issued by Bulgaria and Romania which may be recognised pursuant to this Decision are listed in the Annex.
Cyprus may also recognise the national short-term visas, long-stay visas and residence permits issued by Bulgaria and Romania listed in the Annex as equivalent to its national visas for the purpose of transit.
Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania may recognise documents as equivalent to their national visas for the purpose of transit only if the duration of the transit by the third country national through their territory does not exceed five days.
The period of validity of the documents referred to in Articles 2, 3 and 4 shall cover the duration of the transit.
Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania shall notify the Commission within 10 working days of the entry into force of this Decision, if they decide to apply this Decision. The Commission shall publish the information communicated by those Member States in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Decision shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply until the date determined by a Council decision adopted pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession in respect of Cyprus and to the first subparagraph of Article 4(2) of the 2005 Act of Accession in respect of Bulgaria and Romania, on which all the provisions of the Schengen acquis in the field of the common visa policy and the movement of third country nationals legally residing within the territory of the Member States shall apply to the Member State concerned.
After the date, as referred to in the second paragraph, has been determined by the relevant Council decision in respect of a Member State, that Member State shall recognise during their period of validity, national short-term visas issued before that date until the last day of the sixth month from that date, for the purpose of transit through its territory, provided that that Member State has given the notification referred to in Article 6. During that period, the conditions set out in this Decision shall apply.
This Decision is addressed to Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas, because of the differences in the buying-in prices applied by the intervention agencies in the new Member States, finance costs in respect of stored butter vary according to the level of the price applied ; whereas a distinction should, therefore, be made between storage costs as such, applicable throughout the Community, and finance costs, to be calculated on the basis of the buying-in price for butter applied in each Member State;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2004/859/EC of 25 October 2004 concerning the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway on Protocol 2 to the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Protocol 2 to the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (3), and Protocol 3 to the EEA Agreement (4), determine the trade arrangements for certain agricultural and processed agricultural products between the Contracting Parties.
(2) Protocol 3 to the EEA Agreement, as amended by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 138/2004 (5), provides for a zero duty applying to certain waters containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured, classified under CN code 2202 10 00 and certain other non alcoholic beverages containing sugar, classified under CN code ex 2202 90 10.
(3) The zero duty for the waters and other beverages in question has been temporarily suspended for Norway by the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway on Protocol 2 to the bilateral free trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (6), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’, approved by Decision 2004/859/EC. According to point IV of the Agreed Minutes of the Agreement, duty free imports of goods of the CN codes 2202 10 00 and ex 2202 90 10 originating in Norway are — in principle — to be permitted only within the limits of a duty free quota, while a duty is to be paid for imports outside the quota allocation.
(4) According to statistics provided to the Commission, the annual quota for 2007 for the products in question opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1798/2006 (7) has not been exhausted on 31 October 2007. Pursuant to Point IV of the Agreed Minutes of the Agreement the products in question should be granted unlimited duty free access to the Community from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008.

For 1 January to 31 December 2008, the temporary suspension of the duty free regime applied under Protocol No 2 to the bilateral free trade agreement to goods classified under CN codes 2202 10 00 (waters, including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured) and ex 2202 90 10 (other non-alcoholic beverages containing sugar (sucrose or invert sugar)) shall be withdrawn.
2. The rules of origin mutually applicable to the goods referred to in paragraph 1 shall be as set out in Protocol 3 of the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/457/EEC of 29 September 1970 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (1), as last amended by Directive 78/55/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 (2) and (3) thereof,
Having regard to the application lodged by the French Republic,
Whereas, under Article 15 (1) of the said Directive, seeds or propagating material of varieties of agricultural plant species which have been officially accepted during 1976 in one or more Member States and which also meet the conditions laid down in the said Directive are, with effect from 31 December 1978, no longer subject to any marketing restrictions relating to variety in the Community;
Whereas, however, Article 15 (2) of the said Directive provides that a Member State may be authorized, upon application, to prohibit the marketing of seed and propagating material of certain varieties;
Whereas the French Republic has applied for such authorization for a certain number of varieties of different species;
Whereas Commission Decision 79/94/EEC (3) extended the period provided for in the said Article 15 (1) for some of these varieties for the French Republic from 31 December 1978 to 28 February 1979;
Whereas the Commission completed its examination of the French application in respect of these varieties before the expiry of the said period;
Whereas the varieties listed in this Decision have been the subject of official growing trials in the French Republic ; whereas the results of these trials have led the French Republic to decide that the value for cultivation or use of these varieties is inferior to other comparable varieties accepted in the French Republic;
Whereas, for the varieties Dolcea (cocksfoot), Mocca and Tur (Italian ryegrass), the other Member States have accepted these conclusions ; whereas it is therefore clear that these varieties do not produce results in the French Republic which, with respect to their qualities taken as a whole as regards their value for cultivation or use, correspond to those obtained from a comparable variety accepted there (Article 15 (3) (c), first case, of the said Directive);
Whereas, for the variety Rozelle (tall fescue), the results of the trials show that they do not produce results in the French Republic which, with respect to their resistance to harmful organisms without compensation by other superior characteristics (Article 5 (4), second sentence, of the said Directive) correspond to those obtained from a comparable variety accepted there (Article 15 (3) (c), first case, of the said Directive).
Whereas, for the varieties Asla Roskilde, Bopa Pajbjerg and Hera Daehnfeldt (cocksfoot), the results of the trials show that they do not produce results in the French Republic which, with respect to their resistance to harmful organisms, correspond to those obtained from a comparable variety accepted there (Article 15 (3) (c), first case, of the said Directive), although in certain circumstances this is compensated by other superior characteristics (Article 5 (4), second sentence, of the said Directive);
Whereas, therefore, the application by the French Republic in respect of seeds of all these varieties should be granted ; whereas, however, the authorization for the three abovementioned cocksfoot varieties may not be applied in all cases ; whereas account should also be taken of the fact that some of the varieties of ryegrass in question are acceptable in the French Republic provided their seed is not intended for the production of fodder plants;
Whereas other varieties are no longer included in the French application; (1)OJ No L 225, 12.10.1970, p. 1. (2)OJ No L 16, 20.1.1978, p. 23. (3)OJ No L 22, 31.1.1979, p. 19.
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seed and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
1. The French Republic is hereby authorized to prohibit the marketing throughout its territory of seed of the following varieties listed in the 1979 common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species:
Fodder plants 1. Dactylis glomerata L.
Asla Roskilde
Bopa Pajbjerg
Dolcea
Hera Daehnfeldt
2. Festuca arundinacea L.
Rozelle
3. Lolium multiflorum Lam.
Mocca
Tur
2. The authorization given in paragraph 1 shall not affect the introduction of seeds of the varieties Asla Roskilde, Bopa Pajbjerg, or Hera Daehnfeldt (Dactylis glomerata L.) into the French Republic where it is ensured by clearly legible indications, on the official label, relating to susceptibility to diseases, as well as by other appropriate means, that the varieties are not cultivated in areas of the French Republic which periodically suffer from diseases to which the varieties are susceptible.
3. For the varieties Mocca and Tur (Lolium multiflorum) the authorization given in paragraph 1 is valid only where the seeds are intended for the production of fodder plants.
The authorization given under Article 1 shall be withdrawn as soon as it is established that the conditions under which it was granted are no longer met.
The French Republic shall notify the Commission of the date from which it makes use of the authorization under Article 1 and of the procedures it follows. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

Since Directive 76/115/EEC concerns the type-approval of different categories of non-agricultural motor vehicles, it is necessary to specify which requirements of that Directive shall apply to certain agricultural or forestry tractors.
(2) The requirements in Appendix 1 of Annex I to Directive 76/115/EEC for forward facing centre seats of vehicle category N3 are appropriate for tractors of a maximum design speed of 40 km/h or less.
(3) On 29 March 2005, the Council of the OECD approved Decision C(2005) 1, which establishes new versions of the OECD codes for the testing of agricultural and forestry tractors.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3286/94 of 22 December 1994 laying down Community procedures in the field of the common commercial policy in order to ensure the exercise of the Community's rights under international trade rules, in particular those established under the auspices of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 356/95 (2), and in particular Articles 13 and 14 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) On 12 January 1998 the Commission received a complaint pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3286/94 (herafter the 'Regulation`). The complaint was lodged by Febeltex (Fédération belge du textile - Belgian Textile Federation).
(2) The complainant alleged that the Brazilian non-automatic import licensing and in particular its enforcement through the imposition of compulsory payment terms and compulsory minimum prices are inconsistent with several provisions of the Agreement establishing the World Trade Organisation (hereafter 'the WTO Agreement`) and its annexes. On that basis the complainant asked the Commission to take the necessary actions to convince Brazil to repeal these measures.
(3) The complaint contained sufficient prima facie evidence to justify the initiation of a Community examination procedure pursuant to Article 8 of the Regulation. Consequently, such procedure was initiated on 27 February 1998 (3).
(4) Following the initiation of the examination procedure the Commission conducted an in-depth legal and factual investigation into the Brazilian import licensing system as applied to textile products. Based on the findings of this investigation the Commission reached the conclusions which are indicated below.
B. FINDINGS REGARDING THE EXISTENCE OF AN OBSTACLE TO TRADE
(5) The investigation established that the Brazilian system is a licensing system within the meaning of Article 3(1) of the WTO Agreement on import licensing procedures (ILP) and should therefore comply with the rules laid down by this Agreement as well as by GATT 1994.
(6) The relevant Brazilian legislation concerning the non-automatic import licensing system is composed of:
- Decreto 660, of 25 September 1992 (which established the Sistema Integrado de Comércio Exterior, Siscomex),
- Portaria Interministerial 291 (Ministry of the Treasury/Ministry of Industry and Trade), of 12 December 1996 (concerning the processing of import operations by means of the Siscomex),
- Portaria Secex 21, of 12 December 1996 (concerning the implementation of import operations by means of the Siscomex, including price control) and
- Comunicados Decex listing the goods subject to non-automatic import licensing, which have been consolidated by Comunicado Decex 37 of 17 December 1997.
However, the Brazilian system is very flexible: new products can be added to the list of those for which a non-automatic import license is required by simple decision of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism.
(7) The Brazilian licensing system is operated via a computerised instrument called Siscomex. The granting of import licenses for imports of textile products originating in the Community is directly linked to a set of compulsory minimum prices and compulsory payment terms. Should these date of an import declaration not be in accordance with those decided and included by the Brazilian authorities in the Siscomex, applications for import licences are not processed and the importer is asked to contact the local agency of the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism (Decex).
(8) The Brazilian legislation introducing this system does not include any indication of the measure being implemented through the licensing procedure. The Commission services have found the existence of internal administrative rules or guidelines concerning compulsory payment terms and minimum import prices that are used in the administration of Brazil's import licensing system. Such rules are not published. As a consequence, governments and traders cannot become acquainted to them. Furthermore, there is no possibility of appeal against such unofficial regulations.
(9) When Siscomex does not process import licence applications which do not comply with the requirements on payment terms and minimum prices, no formal decision is taken on the importer's application. It remains indefinitely pending.
(10) The Brazilian system does not appear to serve to the implementation of any GATT compatible measure, its sole function being the application and administration of import procedures as trade policy tool in order to restrict flows of imports of textile products into Brazil. The examination also demonstrated that this system allows Brazilian authorities to decide in a discretionary and arbitrary manner on the basis of unofficial and not published grounds, the non-granting of import licences. By imposing compulsory payment terms and minimum prices as conditions for the issuance of the licence, Brazil has substantially restricted imports of certain textile products originating in the Community and has discouraged a large number of possible clients for Community producers.
(11) Brazil has not yet notified part of the relevant legislation (Comunicado Decex 37, of 17 December 1997); the remaining part has been notified with a delay of more than one year, only after the initiation by the Commission of the present examination under the Regulation and in this notification some essential information was omitted (for example: the list of products subject to licensing procedures).
(12) Under these circumstances the Commission considers that the complainant's allegations are well founded and that the Brazilian practices constitute an obstacle to trade within the meaning of Article 2(1) of the Regulation, as they are contrary to the following provisions:
- Article X.1 and XI.1 of the GATT,
- Article 1(3), 3(2), 3(5)(f) and 5 of the WTO Agreement on import licensing procedures.
(13) The Commission nonetheless considers that reference to the above legal bases does not rule out recourse to any other pertinent provision of the WTO Agreement and of the Agreements annexed to it, which could be of use in procedures before the WTO.
C. FINDINGS REGARDING ADVERSE TRADE EFFECTS
(14) The Commission investigation highlighted the enormous potentiality of the Brazilian market for the highly competitive products exported by Community producers. In this regard, the main findings on the adverse trade effects caused by the challenged practices indicate that Brazil's non-automatic import licensing system represents a significant restriction to access the Brazilian market for several Community textile products.
(15) The investigation covered products contained within Chapters 50 to 63 of the Combined Nomenclature and revealed that the effects of the Brazilian system vary from one sector of products to another. Generally speaking, notwithstanding the great potential of the Brazilian market, Community textile exports to Brazil registered no significant increase between 1996 and 1997, especially when compared to those reported on other similar South American markets.
(16) In particular, the introduction of the non-automatic import licence system and the way it is implemented through the compulsory payment terms and the imposed minimum price has already caused in 1997 (and, in some cases, in 1996) a decrease of exports of certain European Union textile products, such as mattress ticking (CN codes: 5516 23 10; 5210 49 00), webbing (CN code: 5806 32 10), bedspreads (and related products) (CN codes: 6302 32 90), knitted synthethic fabrics for curtains (CN code: 6002 43 11), technical fabrics for casual wear (e.g. lyocell, elastan) (CN code: 5516 13 00) to Brazil.
(17) The challenged Brazilian practices have caused an important loss of competitiveness in the Brazilian market for Community exporters of certain textile products. Such loss of competitiveness has been particularly drastic in those sectors, such as mattress ticking, curtain fabrics or webbing, that are subject to minimum import prices.
(18) The introduction of the contested measures has led in many cases to a significant loss in the number and importance of Brazilian clients as well as in the number and importance of the orders received or confirmed.
(19) The requirement of minimum prices has also led to a substantial reduction in the range of products that may be exported to Brazil. In other words, products whose export price is far too low, in comparison with the compulsory minimum price required, can no longer be exported because it would no longer be competitive at the higher price. Significantly enough, this consequence often takes place in relation to low price products, for which there is higher local competition. Accordingly, the Brazilian importer will turn to buy the Brazilian product, which, if it were not for the imposition of compulsory minimum prices, would be more expensive than the equivalent Community textile product.
(20) A further adverse trade effect caused on Community producers/exporters of textile products is the need to change the technical specification or composition of a product. This change is required by the need to comply with the required minimum prices. A change in the technical specification of the product will in some cases be the only way to obtain a product whose price meets the required minimum one and that it is still economically viable. In this regard, the Commission services have been provided with examples where, in the case of mattress ticking, the percentage of cotton, rayon, polyester, etc. in a product had to be altered, e.g. by using a new raw material (such as rayon) or by using a new raw material which results in a different weight per square metre (such as polypropylene).
(21) The use of Brazil's non-automatic import licensing system as a trade policy tool to control trade flows has resulted, in some textile sectors, in a complete alteration of the market conditions which in some cases has led to an almost closing of the Brazilian market to Community textile exporters. As an example, the minimum import price of USD 20/kg imposed by the Brazilian authorities on imports of jacquard mattress ticking under CN code 5516 23 10 is more than the double of the normal sale price of this product (i.e. to USD 8 to 11/kg). Such an increase of price has caused an important loss of competitiveness in the Brazilian market for Community exporters of this home textile product
(22) Therefore, the Commission concluded that the abovementioned effects do constitute adverse trade effects within the meaning of Article 2(4) of the Regulation.
D. COMMUNITY INTEREST
(23) In the last couple of years, European exporters and producers have lodged three cases against Brazilian practices having restrictive effects on Community exports of different products (steel plates, textiles, and sorbitol). These measures seem to be directed at specific sensitive sectors, in a non-transparent way, and through a very flexible decisional process. For this reason, it is of major importance for the Community to tackle in a comprehensive way the Brazilian system.
(24) Moreover, ensuring that WTO partners fully comply with their obligations is of the utmost importance for the Community, which has committed itself to the same obligations. It is fundamental for the good functioning of a multilateral trade system to consistently tackle all allegedly WTO incompatible practices.
(25) As regards the Febeltex case, given the importance of the textile industry for the Community as a whole and the need to ensure a fair access to third country markets for Community textile products, the Community should immediately challenge the Brazilian non-automatic licensing system, pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Agreement on import licensing procedures, GATT 1994 and the WTO Dispute Settlement Understanding.
E. CONCLUSIONS AND MEASURES TO BE TAKEN
(26) Meetings have been held and letters have been exchanged with the relevant Brazilian authorities to discuss this matter further aimed at finding an amicable solution, but the Brazilian authorities did not forward any proposal in view of such solution.
(27) In these circumstances, it appears that the interests of the Community call for initiation of WTO dispute settlement proceeding,
Article 1
1. The Brazilian non-automatic licensing system, compulsory minimum prices and compulsory payment terms appears to be inconsistent with the obligations of that country under the Marrakech Agreement establishing the World Trading Organisation and constitutes an 'obstacle to trade` within the meaning of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3286/94.
2. The Community will commence action against Brazil under the Understanding on the rules and procedures for the settlement of disputes and other relevant WTO provisions with a view to securing removal of the obstacle to trade.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas extension or tacit renewal beyond the end of the transitional period was last authorized in the case of the agreements and protocols listed in the Annex by Decision 86/124/EEC (2);
Whereas the Member States concerned have, with a view to avoiding any disruption of their commercial relations with the third countries concerned based on agreement, requested authorization to extend or renew the abovementioned agreements;
Whereas, however, most of the areas covered by these national agreements are henceforth the subject of Community agreements; whereas, in this situation, there should be authorization for the maintenance of national agreements only for those areas not covered by Community agreements; whereas, in addition, such authorization should not, therefore, adversely affect the obligation incumbent upon the Member States to avoid and, where appropriate, to eliminate any incompatibility between such agreements and the provisions of Community law;
Whereas the provisions of the agreements to be either prolonged or renewed should not furthermore, during the period under consideration, constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy;
Whereas the Member States concerned have declared that the extension or tacit renewal of these agreements would neither constitute an obstacle to the opening of Community negotiations with the third countries concerned and the transfer of the commercial substance of those agreements to Community agreements nor, during the period under consideration, hinder the adoption of the measures necessary to complete the standardization of the import arrangements of the Member States;
Whereas at the conclusion of the consultations provided for in Article 2 of Decision 69/494/EEC it was established, as the aforesaid declarations by the Member States concerned confirm, that the provisions of the agreements to be extended or renewed would not, during the period under consideration, constitute an obstacle to the implementation of the common commercial policy;
Whereas, in these circumstances, the agreements concerned may be either extended or tacitly renewed for a limited period,
The trade agreements and protocols between Member States and third countries, as listed in the Annex hereto, may be extended or tacitly renewed up to the dates indicated for each of them for those areas not covered by agreements between the Community and the third countries concerned and in so far as their provisions are not contrary to existing common policies.

Whereas Article 28 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that, where the receipts expected from the basic production levy and the B levy, which must not exceed 2 % and 30 % respectively of the intervention price for white sugar for that marketing year, may well fail to cover the foreseeable total loss for the current marketing year, the maximum percentage of the B levy is to be adjusted to the extent necessary to cover the said total loss but without exceeding 37,5 %;
Whereas the foreseeable receipts, prior to adjustment, of the levies to be collected in respect of the 1994/95 marketing year are below the equivalent of the average loss multiplied by the exportable surplus; whereas accordingly, in the light of the data at present available, the maximum amount of the B levy for 1994/95 should be raised to 37,5 % of the intervention price for the white sugar concerned;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1. For the 1994/95 marketing year the maximum amount referred to in the first indent of Article 28 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be increased to 37,5 % of the intervention price for white sugar for that marketing year.

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Section 2 of Chapter I of Title 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 of 14 December 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards the import arrangements for milk and milk products and opening tariff quotas (1) lays down specific provisions on the approval of applicants for import licences.

(2) For the period 1 January 2007 to 30 June 2007, operators of the new Member States should be allowed to apply, without prior approval, for import licences under the tariff quotas as referred to in the Annexes to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001.
(3) Those operators should prove their status and regular activity as traders. As regards the requirement on the proof on trade performance, the applicants in the new Member States should have the opportunity to choose as a reference year for the trade performance 2005 instead of 2006 if they can prove that they were not able to import or export the required quantities of milk products during 2006 as a result of exceptional circumstances.
(4) The authorities of the new Member States should by 20 January 2007 transmit a list to the Commission including all eligible operators. In order to enable each applicant to be identified more easily, and to facilitate the transfer of licences, the data to be forwarded for each operator should be specified. Moreover, eligible operators of the new Member States should be allowed to transfer import licences.
(5) It is therefore necessary to provide for certain derogations from Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
By way of derogation from Section 2 of Chapter I of Title 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, operators established in Bulgaria and Romania (hereinafter referred to as the ‘new Member States’) may apply for import licences for the quotas covering the period 1 January 2007 to 30 June 2007 without prior approval by the competent authorities of the new Member State in which they are established.
1. By way of derogation from Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, operators established in the new Member States may apply for import licences for the quotas referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation only in the Member State where they are established.
2. Licence applications shall be admissible only where the applicant attaches the following documents:
(a) proof that in 2006 the applicant has imported or exported at least 25 tonnes of milk products covered by Chapter 04 of the Combined Nomenclature in at least four separate operations;
(b) any document and information adequately substantiating the identity and status of the applicant, in particular:
(i) documents relating to business accounts or tax arrangements drawn up in accordance with national law,
(ii) the VAT number, if provided for under national law, and
(iii) the registration in the commercial register, if provided for under national law.
3. In case of point (a) of paragraph 2, the reference year shall be 2005 if the importer concerned can prove that he was not able to import or export the required quantities of milk products during 2006 as a result of exceptional circumstances.
4. For the purposes of application of this Article, inward- and outward-processing transactions shall not be considered as imports and exports.
1. The competent authorities of the new Member States shall send to the Commission by 20 January 2007 the list of operators having applied for import licences for the quotas covering the period 1 January 2007 to 30 June 2007 in accordance with Article 1 and complying with the conditions laid down in Article 2. These lists shall be established in accordance with the model at Annex XIV to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, exception made of the approval number.
2. The Commission shall forward the lists referred to in paragraph 1 to the competent authorities of the other Member States.
By way of derogation from Article 16(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, import licences issued for the quotas covering the period 1 January 2007 to 30 June 2007 may be transferred only to natural or legal persons approved in accordance with Section 2 of that Regulation and to natural or legal persons appearing on the lists referred to in Article 3 of this Regulation.

In that case, the security shall not be released. The lot must be replaced within three days of the date of the successful tenderer’s request. The successful tenderer shall immediately inform the Commission thereof using the form in Annex I.
If, following successive replacements, the successful tenderer has not received a replacement lot of the quality laid down within one month of the date of the request for a replacement, the successful tenderer shall be discharged of all obligations and the securities shall be released, provided the Commission and the intervention agency have been immediately informed using the form in Annex I.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 17 November 1981, Italy has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Hewlett-Packard - Gas Chromatograph, model HP 5992A', ordered 31 May 1979 and to be used for the identification of new compounds and for the structural study and quantitative determination of substances of various kinds, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 19 April 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a chromatograph; whereas its objective technical characteristics such as the very high resolution power and the use to which it is put make it specially suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for scientific activities; whereas it must therefore be considered to be a scientific apparatus;
Whereas, however, on the basis of information received from Member States, apparatus of scientific value equivalent to the said apparatus, capable of being used for the same purposes, are currently being manufactured in the Community; whereas this applies, in particular, to the apparatus 'R 10-10' manufactured by Ribermag SA, 49 quai du Halage, F-92500 Rueil Malmaison, and to the apparatus 'MM16F' manufactured by VG Analytical Ltd, Tudor Road, UK-Altrincham, Cheshire WA14 5RZ,

of 16 June 2014
laying down implementing technical standards with regard to the reporting of national provisions of prudential nature relevant to the field of occupational pension schemes according to Directive 2003/41/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2003/41/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 June 2003 on the activities and supervision of institutions for occupational retirement provision (1) and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 20(11) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2003/41/EC requires Member States to report to the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) their national provisions of prudential nature relevant to the field of occupational pension schemes which are not covered by the reference to national social and labour law in Article 20(1) of that Directive (hereinafter ‘national prudential provisions’). The requirements laid down in this Regulation do not affect Member State competences as provided for in Directive 2003/41/EC with regard to the national social and labour law applicable to institutions for occupational retirement provision.
(2) It is appropriate for EIOPA to make the information reported under this Regulation available on its website to create a centralised source of information at Union level on national prudential provisions.
(3) It is acknowledged that Member States can have provisions applicable to occupational pension schemes in areas such as company law, trust law and insolvency law that extend beyond national prudential provisions. The reporting obligation under this Regulation is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of all the legal and regulatory rules under which occupational pension schemes operate.
(4) In accordance with Article 4 of Directive 2003/41/EC, Member States may choose to apply the provisions of Articles 9 to 16 and Articles 18, 19 and 20 of that Directive to the business of occupational retirement provision of insurance undertakings which are covered by Directive 2002/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). Member States that availed themselves of this option apply a range of national prudential provisions to insurance undertakings that is different from those applicable to occupational pension schemes. For the Member States that follow this option, the reporting obligation should also include information regarding the assets and liablilities referred to in the second paragraph of Article 7 of Directive 2003/41/EC.
(5) In order to ensure uniform reporting, a template should be provided for competent authorities to use when transmitting the requested information to EIOPA. To enable ease of access and comparability of the information transmitted, the template list should correspond to the relevant provisions of Directive 2003/41/EC. The template should also facilitate the reporting of national prudential provisions which are not covered in the list, being of a prudential nature but not directly linked to the transposition of Directive 2003/41/EC.
(6) Given the fact that Union law does not harmonise the structures of institutions for occupational retirement provision, there are numerous structures in which retirement provision is organised across the Member States. Competent authorities should report the names of those institutions and indicate the national prudential provisions applicable to the different structural types, where relevant.
(7) The reporting obligation imposed on competent authorities as regards solvency margins and the guarantee fund as laid down in Articles 17a to 17d of Directive 2003/41/EC, is accommodated in the reporting template through Article 17(2) of that Directive.
(8) In some Member States, national prudential provisions do not apply to the whole territory of the relevant Member State. Therefore, competent authorities should indicate in the template whether their national prudential provisions apply to different territories within their Member State, and the territorial scope of the reported provisions.
(9) Information on national prudential provisions needs to be kept up to date without imposing a disproportionate burden on competent authorities. Therefore, the reporting should be limited to once a year. To increase the consistency of the disclosure of the information, the date to which the reporting refers and the date for the transmission of the information to EIOPA should be fixed. Competent authorities should be able to update that information between reporting dates on a voluntary basis.
(10) To ensure that information on national prudential provisions is available shortly after the entry into force of this Regulation, the first transmission of information should take place within six months from its entry into force.
(11) As specified in Recital 32 of Directive 2010/78/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), the technical standards drafted by EIOPA should be without prejudice to the competences of Member States with regard to prudential requirements on such institutions as provided for in Directive 2003/41/EC.
(12) This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by EIOPA to the Commission.
(13) EIOPA has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Occupational Pensions Stakeholder Group established by Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4),
Reporting procedures
1. Competent authorities shall transmit the information on national prudential provisions to EIOPA for the first time within six months from the entry into force of this Regulation and then annually, by 30 June of each calendar year subsequent to the year in which that six month period ends.
2. The first transmission shall relate to national prudential provisions which are in force on the date this Regulation enters into force. The annual transmissions shall relate to national prudential provisions which are in force on 1 March of the relevant calendar year.
3. Competent authorities may transmit updated information on their national prudential provisions to EIOPA at any time on a voluntary basis.

(a) the name of the competent authority, the name of the Member State and the date of transmission to EIOPA;
(b) whether it is a first, a voluntary or an annual transmission;
(c) whether the transmission relates to insurance undertakings as referred to in Article 4 of Directive 2003/41/EC and the type of that insurance undertaking;
(d) whether there is more than one structural type of institution for occupational retirement provision in the Member State and if so, the names of the structural types and the national prudential provisions applicable to them;

(f) references to the respective official names and numbers of the acts and other relevant instruments, including the title and number of any relevant Sections or Articles, if applicable;
(g) a hyperlink to the relevant section of the website containing the full text of the acts and other relevant instruments, where available.

Whereas the measures provided for by this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Veterinary checks on products and animals brought into the Community from third countries shall be carried out by the competent national authorities at the agreed border inspection posts listed in the Annex.

2. By way of derogation to paragraph 1, the Commission, after consultation of the Member State concerned, and after an exchange of views in the Standing Veterinary Committee, may reduce the frequency of visits for certain agreed border inspection posts.
However, such border inspection posts shall be visited at least every three years.
3. Each year the Commission shall send to the Member States a copy of the inspection report for all border inspection posts visited in the previous 12 months together with a report concerning the evolution of the general situation of the agreed border inspection posts.
1. In addition to experts from the Member States inspected, the Commission's experts may be accompanied during the checks by one or more experts, listed in accordance with paragraph 2, from one or more other Member States.
When checks are organized, the participation of an expert from another Member State may be refused by the Member State where these checks shall be carried out. This opportunity may only be used once.
2. Each Member State shall propose to the Commission not less than two experts whose competence is beyond doubt, and shall communicate to it their names, their special fields, their exact official addresses, fax and telephone numbers.
The Commission shall draw up a list of experts, other than the experts of the Commission.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/171
of 4 February 2015
on certain aspects of the procedure of licensing railway undertakings
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2012/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 establishing a single European railway area (1) and in particular Article 17(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Recommendation of 7 April 2004 on the use of a common European format for licence documents issued in accordance with Council Directive 95/18/EC on the licensing of railway undertakings (2) recommended the use of the standard format for the licence documents issued by national licensing authorities.
(2) Pursuant to Article 23 of Directive 2012/34/EU licences delivered by national licensing authorities are valid throughout the territory of the Union. The national licensing authorities should inform the European Railway Agency of licences that have been issued, suspended, revoked or amended and the latter should inform the other Member States accordingly. A common template for the licence would facilitate the work of the national licensing authorities and of the European Railway Agency and provide easier access to information on licences by all interested parties, in particular the licensing authorities of other Member States and the infrastructure managers.
(3) All necessary information that confirms that a given railway undertaking has been regularly licensed for a certain type of rail transport services can be contained within a standardised document. The standard template for the licence document would facilitate publication of all relevant information on licences on the website of the European Railway Agency. The standard format could be modified in the future depending on experience of its use and the development of the needs for further information on licences.
(4) The conditions under which the requirements referred to in Article 22 of Directive 2012/34/EU relating to cover for civil liability may be fulfilled may vary between Member States depending on national law. Evidence that the railway undertaking meets these national requirements should be provided for by an annex to the licence document. The standard template for this annex should be used for this purpose. In case the railway undertaking wishes to exercise its activities in two or more Member States, the cover for civil liability for each of these Member States should be mentioned in an additional annex, which should be supplied by the licensing authority in the additional Member State the railway undertaking wishes to operate in.
(5) Licensing authorities may reduce their administrative costs, the level of licensing fees and the time to make a decision on an application for a licence if they swiftly exchange the necessary data with other authorities and other public or private entities.
(6) Due to little movement in the market, no licensing decisions are taken in some Member States for one or more consecutive years. At the same time, high fees may pose an obstacle to market entry of railway undertakings.
(7) Railway undertakings which apply for a new licence should not face less favourable licensing conditions than the railway undertakings already operating in the market.
(8) Unnecessary administrative burden imposed on licensing authorities and undertakings should be reduced by strictly limiting the requirements to the conditions set out in Directive 2012/34/EU.
(9) The licensing authorities have no obligation to request a licensing fee from a railway undertaking. However Member States may decide to impose such a fee for the work undertaken by the licensing authorities on the examination of the application. In such a case the licensing fee should be non-discriminatory, be effectively levied on all the undertakings applying for a licence and be based on the actual workload of the licensing authority. If the licensing fee exceeds EUR 5 000, the licensing authority should set out the number of person hours employed and the expenditure in the payment note for the fee.
(10) In an attempt to create a level playing field between railway undertakings, Directive 2012/34/EU has repealed certain arrangements that are not compatible with enhancing market conditions, whereby railway undertakings have to be insured or have adequate guarantees under market conditions. Licensing authorities should be invited to verify the implementation of the revised conditions in cooperation with other authorities of Member States.
(11) The granting of a licence to a railway undertaking should not be conditional on it holding a safety certificate referred to in Article 10 of Directive 2004/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).
(12) New railway undertakings are critical for competition, but they may have practical difficulties to provide a track record on their financial fitness which allows them to establish realistic assumptions for a period of 12 months in the future according to Article 20(1) and (2) of Directive 2012/34/EU. Whilst EU legislators have created the option of simplified proof for certain smaller air carriers according to Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), the procedure for obtaining a licence may take account of these practical difficulties by alleviating the procedure for demonstrating financial fitness for railway undertakings that apply for a licence.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 62(1) of Directive 2012/34/EU,
Subject matter
This Regulation sets out the details for the use of a common template for the licence document. It also provides for certain aspects of the procedure for granting a licence.
Definitions
For the purpose of this Regulation, ‘licence document’ means the completed and duly signed common template, as set out in Annex I and II of this Regulation to be submitted to the European Railway Agency.
The use of the common template for the licence document
1. Licences issued in accordance with Chapter III of Directive 2012/34/EU shall use the standard format set out in Annex I and II of this Regulation.
In the case where a new licence is issued, the licensing authority shall attribute the EC licence notification number in accordance with the harmonised numbering system called European Identification Number (EIN), as laid down in the Appendix 2 of the Commission Decision 2007/756/EC (5).
Each time a licence is granted, amended in way relevant to the licence document, suspended, revoked or replaced by a temporary licence, the licensing authority shall establish a licence document based on this format
2. Licensing authorities shall inform the European Railway Agency in accordance with Article 24(8) of Directive 2012/34/EU providing a copy of the licence document as stipulated in the communication protocol agreed between them.
3. The information concerning the financial cover for civil liability referred to in Article 22 of Directive 2012/34/EU shall be stated in the annex to the licence document, using the standard format laid down in Annex II to this Regulation. The authority issuing the licence shall attach an annex to the licence document. This annex shall be given the number one (1).
4. Through the information provided in the liability annexes, as set out in Annex II of this Regulation, the licensing authority in a particular Member State or an infrastructure manager may check whether the cover of civil liability taken by the railway undertaking and approved by other licensing authorities is sufficient in this particular Member State. If the licensing authority determines that the level of cover is insufficient it may request the railway undertaking to take out additional cover. The railway undertaking shall provide the licensing authority with the requested information about its cover.
5. Once the licensing authority is satisfied with the cover, it shall inform the European Railway Agency, updating an existing annex communicated by a licensing authority of the same Member State or adding a further annex to the licence, using the standard format of this Annex II and assign the next number (2, 3, 4, etc.) to this annex.
6. Each liability annex shall mention the amount, the scope, such as geographical scope or types of services, and the commencement date and, if applicable, of expiration of the cover. The licence notification number shall be mentioned in each annex to establish a clear link with the licensed railway undertaking. The licensing authority shall establish an updated annex when it is informed about a change in the cover for civil liability and communicate the annex to the European Railway Agency.
Licensing fees
Member States may request a licensing fee for the examination of each application. Licensing fees shall be applied in a non-discriminatory way.
Certain aspects pertaining to requirements on civil liability cover and adequate guarantees
1. The licensing authority shall publish the minimum required levels of cover, including where the amount of such cover is laid down in national law.
2. The licensing authority may not request cover to take effect before the railway undertaking starts its train operations.
3. By 25 August 2015 at the latest, the licensing authority that has issued the licence shall request from all licensed railway undertakings evidence on the level and scope of their existing cover for liabilities in the event of accidents, unless they have contracted an insurance or the authority already has this information. It may also request such evidence from the railway undertakings in case it has doubts whether their cover meets the requirements referred to in Article 22 of Directive 2012/34/EU.
4. In case the undertaking does not demonstrate that it is adequately insured, but that it has adequate guarantees for cover, the licensing authority, if appropriate after consultation of the regulatory body, shall examine whether the conditions under which the undertaking has obtained such guarantees correspond to market conditions which would have been obtained by any other undertaking with the same level of financial standing and risk exposure.
5. If the licensing authority suspends the licence in accordance with Article 24(1) of Directive 2012/34/EU, or grants a temporary licence in accordance with Article 24(3) of the said Directive, it shall inform any other competent authorities referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), with which it knows that the railway undertaking had contracted services. If the licensing authority has doubts regarding the compatibility of the guarantees for cover of its liabilities with the Union rules on State aid, it may transmit the necessary information to the authorities responsible for the control of such State aid rules.
Relation with safety certificates
1. The granting of a licence may not be conditional on the undertaking holding a safety certificate referred to in Article 10 of Directive 2004/49/EC.
2. If an undertaking holds a safety certificate, the licensing authority shall not check requirements for safety certificates, when granting the licence.
Certain aspects of the procedure for granting a licence
1. Within one month of the receipt of the application, the licensing authority shall inform the undertaking that the file is complete or ask for complementary information. This time limit may be extended by two weeks under exceptional circumstances and the undertaking shall be informed thereof. Once the complementary information has been received, the licensing authority shall inform the undertaking within a maximum of one month whether the file is complete.
2. The licensing authority may only request documents referred to in Chapter III of Directive 2012/34/EU or required by national legislation. The licensing authority shall publish a list of all the documents and their contents and shall not request any further documents from undertakings. If the list is updated and published, undertakings may still rely on the former list as regards applications they submitted before the update.
3. In respect of undertakings with annual revenues of less than EUR 5 million from rail transport activities, the licensing authority may consider the requirement regarding its ability to meet actual and potential obligations for a period of 12 months from the start of operations in accordance with Article 20(1) of Directive 2012/34/EU as fulfilled, if the undertaking can demonstrate that its net capital is at least EUR 100 000 or an amount agreed with the regulatory body. The licensing authority shall publish this amount.
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall apply from 16 June 2015.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
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 Article 17b thereof,
Having regard to the 2003 Act of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia to the European Union, and to the adjustments to the treaties on which the European Union is founded, and in particular Article 42 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Hungary has been granted a transitional period of three years with regard to the regime to be applied at the border with Romania for the veterinary checks on live animals.
(2) The measures to ensure that all checks provided for in Directive 91/496/EC are carried out by the Hungarian authorities during this period should be defined.
(3) In view of the continuing negotiations with Romania concerning Romania's accession to the European Union, it is inappropriate to require facilities to be developed at crossing points on the Hungarian-Romanian border to carry out checks on live animals.
(4) Therefore, during the transitional period, provision should be made for inspections to be carried out at inspection sites near the Hungarian-Romanian border that are linked to crossing points. The implementation of the relevant provisions of Directive 91/496/EEC should be adjusted accordingly.
(5) Article 53 of the Act of Accession provides that the new Member States are to be considered as having received notification of this Decision upon accession.

1. "crossing point" means a location situated at the border between Hungary and Romania, where live animals shall be presented to enter the Community and shall be checked in accordance with Directive 91/496/EEC as adapted by this Decision.
2. "inspection site" means a location situated near the border between Hungary and Romania where the checks on live animals shall be completed in accordance with Directive 91/496/EEC as adapted by this Decision.
Adaptation of veterinary checks
The provisions of Chapter I of Directive 91/496/EEC and implementing acts thereof shall be applied to veterinary checks on live animals entering Hungary from Romania in accordance with the following adaptations:
(a) in Article 3(1)(a), Article 4(1), Article 8(A)(1) (a) and Article 12(1)(c) of Directive 91/496/EEC the notion of "crossing point" shall be substituted for "border inspection post";
(b) in Article 3(1)(b) and (c), Article 4(2), Article 7, Article 8(A)(2), Article 9 and Article 10 of Directive 91/496/EEC the notion of "inspection site" shall be substituted for "border inspection post";
(c) Article 6 of Directive 91/496/EEC shall not apply.
Requirements for inspection sites
Inspection sites shall satisfy the requirements set out in Annex I.
Specific requirements for the operation of crossing points and inspections sites
1. All live animals presented for entry into the Community at the border between Romania and Hungary shall be presented by road to the crossing point listed in Annex II.
2. The crossing point shall be linked to the inspection sites listed in Annex III. The crossing point and its corresponding inspection sites shall be placed under the responsibility of veterinary services responsible for border checks.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Protocol 4 on cotton, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1553/95 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1964/87 of 2 July 1987 adjusting the system of aid for cotton introduced by Protocol 4 annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1553/95, and in particular Article 2(3) and (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1554/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down the general rules for the system of aid for cotton and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2169/81 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1584/96 (4), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1554/95 provides that actual production in each marketing year is to be determined each year, account being taken in particular of the quantities for which aid has been requested; whereas application of this criterion results in actual production, in respect of the 1997/98 marketing year, being established at the level set out hereafter;
Whereas Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/87 provides that if actual production determined for Greece and Spain exceeds the guaranteed maximum quantity, the guide price is to be reduced in each Member State where production exceeds its guaranteed national quantity; whereas the calculation of the said reduction varies depending on whether the guaranteed national quantity is exceeded both in Spain and Greece or only in one of those Member States; whereas, in the case under consideration, the overrun occurs both in Greece and in Spain; whereas, therefore, under the rules laid down in Article 6(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1554/95, actual production in excess of the guaranteed national quantity is to be calculated in each Member State as a percentage of the guaranteed national quantity of that Member State, and the guide price is to be reduced by a percentage equal to half the percentage excess;
Whereas Article 2(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/87 provides for an increase in aid, if certain conditions are fulfilled, in each Member State where actual production exceeds its guaranteed national quantity; whereas Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 of 3 May 1989 laying down rules implementing the system of aid for cotton (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1740/97 (6), sets out the rules for calculating this increase;
Whereas the above conditions are satisfied for the 1997/98 marketing year; whereas the size of the aid increase for each Member State should therefore be calculated; whereas the application of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1201/89 results in those amounts being set for the 1997/98 marketing year as indicated hereafter;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Flax and Hemp,
1. (a) For the 1997/98 marketing year, actual production of unginned cotton is fixed at 1 464 840 tonnes, of which 1 085 482 tonnes for Greece and 379 358 tonnes for Spain.
(b) For the 1997/98 marketing year, actual production of unginned cotton is fixed at 102 tonnes for Portugal.
2. The amount by which the guide price is to be reduced for the 1997/98 marketing year is fixed at:
- ECU 20,622/100 kg for Greece,
- ECU 27,851/100 kg for Spain.
3. The increase in the amount of aid for the 1997/98 marketing year is fixed at:
- ECU 4,663/100 kg for Greece,
- ECU 4,663/100 kg for Spain.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(93/116/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/91 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3814/92 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (2), 16 (7) and 16a (11) thereof,
Whereas Article 16a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 has fixed the maximum quantity of raw sugar to be imported at a reduced levy from certain ACP States in order to supply the Portuguese refineries for the period 1 January 1993 to 30 June 1993;
Whereas Article 16a (2) of the said Regulation provides in particular that, where, during the specified period, the Community forward estimate for raw sugar shows that the availability of raw sugar is insufficient to ensure adequate supply of Portuguese refineries, Portugal may be authorized to import from third countries under that period the quantities which it is estimated are lacking; whereas the 1992/93 forward estimate showed that the foreseeable shortfall could be fixed in a first stage by Commission Decision 92/336/EEC (3) at 74 000 tonnes to be imported from third countries in respect of the period 1 July 1992 to 31 December 1992;
Whereas the actual quantities of raw sugar available; the Community, and in particular production in the French department of Reunion, and quantities available for refining are now known; whereas the remainder of the shortfall in respect of the period 1 January to 30 June 1993 should accordingly be fixed; whereas a risk exists however that all or part of the quantity to be imported from certain ACP States by virtue of Article 16a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, will not be available; whereas account should accordingly be taken of this risk when fixing the shortfall to be imported at a reduced rate of levy;
Whereas, in order to ensure sound management of the markets in the sector and, in particular, effective control of operations, it is necessary to apply to the sugar concerned the normal rules for performance of the customs formalities for import;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1. Portugal is hereby authorized to import from third countries during the period 1 March to 30 June 1993 a quantity of raw sugar not exceeding 106 100 tonnes expressed as white sugar, at the reduced levy determined in accordance with Article 16a (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81.
2. The quantities importe from third countries under Article 16a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be set against the quantity referred to in paragraph 1.
1. The import licences for the raw sugar referred to in Article 1 shall be valid from the date of issue until 30 June 1993.
2. The application for the licence referred to in paragraph 1 must be made to the competent authority in Portugal, during the 1992/93 marketing year, and must be accompanied by a declaration from a refiner in which he undertakes to refine the quantities of raw sugar concerned in Portugal within six months following the month in which the customs import formalities take place.
Except in cases of force majeure if the sugar in question is not refined within the prescribed time limit the importer must pay an amount equal to the difference between the threshold price and the intervention price for raw sugar applicable on the day of acceptance of the import declaration concerned.
In cases of force majeure, the competent authority in Portugal shall adopt the measures that it considers necessary, in the light of the circumstances worked by the interested party.
3. The application for the import licence and the licence itself shall include in box 12 the following:
'import of raw sugar at reduced levy in accordance with Decision 93/116/EEC'.
4. The rate of deposit applicable to the licence referred to in paragraph 1 is hereby fixed at ECU 0,25 for each 100 kilograms of sugar net.
If the volume of applications for licences exceeds the quantity provided for in Article 1. Portugal shall proceed with a fair apportionment of this quantity among the applicants concerned.

of 13 June 1988
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota of 5 000 head of bulls, cows and heifers, other than those intended for slaughter, of certain Alpine breeds, falling within subheading ex 01.02 A II of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the European Economic Community undertook, within the framework of GATT, to open an annual Community tariff quota of 5 000 head at a duty of 4 % for bulls, cows and heifers, other than those intended for slaughter, of certain Alpine breeds, falling within subheading ex 01.02 A II of the Common Customs Tariff; whereas eligibility for such quota is subject to submission of the following documents:
- bulls: a pedigree certificate,
- female animals: a pedigree certificate of registration in the herd book, certifiying purity of breed;
Whereas the abovementioned tariff quota for the period 1 July 1988 to 30 June 1989 should, therefore, be opened at a duty of 4 %; whereas, however, under the terms of Article 282 of the 1985 Act of Accession, the Portuguese Republic is authorized to postpone, until the beginning of the second stage, the progressive application to imports of preferences granted, unilaterally or by agreement, by the Community to certain third countries; whereas a check should be carried out to ascertain that the imported animals have not been slaughtered within a certain period in accordance with Article 1 (3);
Whereas, it is in particular necessary to ensure equal and continuous access for all Community importers to the abovementioned quota, and the uninterrupted application of the quota duties to all imports of the animals in question until the quota is exhausted; whereas, having regard to the principles defined above, the Community nature of the quota can be respected by allocating the Community tariff quota among the Member States; whereas possibilities for the use of such mountain breeds are, however, limited by special factors, both geographical and zootechnical; whereas certain Member States do not have regions suitable for breeding this kind of cattle; whereas, however, in view of such special factors, the Community nature of the tariff quota in question should be preserved by marking provision for requirements which may arise in these Member States; whereas, to this end, these Member States may proceed to draw adequate shares from the Community reserve which has been set up; whereas, in order to reflect as closely as possible the actual trend of the market in question, the initial allocation must be made in proportion to the requirements of each of the Member States concerned, calculated in accordance with statistical data concerning imports from third countries during a representative reference period and with economic prospects for the quota period in question;
Whereas, since the animals in question belong to certain specific breeds which are not specified as such in the statistical nomenclatures of the Member States, no data on imports provided by the Member States could be considered to be sufficiently accurate and representative to be used as a basis for the allocation in question; whereas the extent to which Community tariff quotas for those animals in the Community have been exhausted and the estimates made by certain Member States enable the requirements of each of them as regards imports from third countries for the quota period envisaged to be assessed as follows:
Germany 1 500 head
France 120 head
Italy 3 500 head;
whereas the needs of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Spain may, in the absence of precise information, be assessed at 75,25 and 100 head respectively;
Whereas, in order to take into account the possible trend of imports of the aforementioned animals into the said Member States, the quota amount of 5 000 head should be divided into two parts, the first part being allocated among certain Member States, the second forming a reserve intended subsequently to cover the requirements of those Member States when their inital shares are exhausted and requirements which may arise within other Member States; whereas, in order to ensure a certain degree of security for importers in the aforementioned Member States, the first part of the Community quota should be determined at a comparatively high level which unter the present circumstance may be about 86 % of the quota amount; Whereas the initial shares of those Member States may be used up more or less rapidly; whereas, in order to take this fact into account and avoid any break in continuity, it is important that that Member State having used up almost the whole of its initial share should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas this must be done by each of these Member States as and when each of its additional shares is almost entirely used up, and repeated as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares must be available until the end of the quota period; whereas such method of administration calls for close cooperation between Member States and the Commission, which latter must, in particular, be able to observe the extent to which the quota amounts are used and inform Member States thereof;
Whereas if, at a specified date within the quota period, a considerable balance of the initial share of one or other of the Member States is left over, it is essential that that State should return a considerable part of such balance to the reserve in order that part of the Community quota should not remain unused in one Member State while it could be used in others;
Whereas it is possible that, during the period of applicability of the said quota, the nomenclature used by the Common Customs Tariff will be replaced by the combined nomenclature based on the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System; whereas this Regulation must take account of the possibility by using the codes of the combined nomenclature within which the said products fall;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 July 1988 to 30 June 1989, the duty applicable to the import of the animals designated hereafter shall be suspended at the level indicated in Article 2 within the limit of the relevant Community Tariff quota mentioned:
1.2.3.4 // // // // // Order No // CN code // Description // Quota // // // // // 09.0003 // ex 0102 90 10 ex 0102 90 31 ex 0102 90 33 ex 0102 90 35 // Bulls, cows and heifers, other than those intended for slaughter, of the following mountain breeds: the mottled Simmental breed and the Schwyz and Fribourg breeds // 5 000 head // // // //
2. Eligibility for this tariff quota shall be subject to the submission of:
- in the case of bulls: a pedigree certificate,
- in the case of female animals: a pedigree certificate or certificate of registration in the herdbook, certifying purity of breed.
3. For the purposes of this Regulation, the abovementioned cows and heifers shall be considered not intended for slaughter if they are not slaughtered within four months following the date of their importation.
Derogations may, however, be granted in the event of an act of God (disease, accident) duly attested by a local authority certificate setting out the reasons for the slaughter.
4. The said quota shall be administered in accordance with the following Articles.
Within the framework of the quota referred to in Article 1 (1), the Common Customs Tariff duty for the animals referred to in the said paragraph shall be suspended at 4 %.
Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions in the Act of Accession.
1. A first part of 4 300 head shall be allocated among the Member States listed below. The shares shall apply from 1 July 1988 to 30 June 1989 subject to Article 7, and shall be as follows:
Germany 850 head
Spain 100 head
France 100 head
Ireland 25 head
Italy 3 150 head
United Kingdom 75 head
2. The second part of 700 head shall be held as a Community reserve.
If an importer notifies an imminent importation of the animals in question in the Benelux Economic Union, Denmark or Greece 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. Article 5
1. If 90 % or more of the initial share of one of the Member States referred to in Article 3, or of that share less the amount returned to the reserve where Article 7 has been applied, has been used up, that Member State shall immediately, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share, in so far as the reserve permits, equal to 10 % of its initial share rounded off upwards, if necessary, to the next unit.
2. If, after the initial share has been exhausted, 90 % or more of the second share drawn by one of these Member States has been used up, that Member State shall, in accordance with paragraph 1, immediately draw a third share equal to 5 % of its initial share, rounded off upwards, if necessary, to the next unit.
3. If, after the second share has been exhausted, 90 % or more of the third share drawn by one of these Member States has been used up, that Member State shall, in accordance with paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
The same method shall be applied until the reserve is exhausted.
4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, each of these Member States may draw shares lower than those fixed in these paragraphs if there are reasons to consider that such shares might not be exhausted. They shall inform the Commission of the grounds which led them to apply this paragraph.
Additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 5 shall apply until 30 June 1989.
Member States shall return to the reserve, not later than 1 March 1989, the unused portion of their initial share in excess on 15 February 1989 of 5 % of the initial amount. They may return a larger quantity if there are reasons to consider that such quantity may not be used.
However, amounts for which import certificates have been issued but not used shall not be returned to the reserve.
The Member States shall, not later than 1 March 1989, notify the Commission of the total imports of the animals in question effected up to 15 February 1989 inclusive and charged against the tariff quota, the amounts referred to in the second subparagraph and, where appropriate the proportion of their initial share that they return to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep accounts of the amounts of the shares opened by Member States in accordance with Articles 3, 4 and 5 and shall inform each of them of the extent to which the reserve has been exhausted as soon as it receives the notification.
The Commission shall, not later than 5 March 1989, notify Member States of the amount in the reserve after the return of shares pursuant to Article 7.
The Commission shall ensure that any drawing which exhausts the reserve is limited to the balance available and, to this end, shall specify the amount thereof to the Member State making the last drawing.
The Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that when additional shares are drawn pursuant to Articles 4 or 5 it is possible for imports to be counted without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.
0
1. Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that the access to the tariff quota in question is restricted to cattle as specified in Article 1 (1) and (2).
2. They shall ensure free access to the shares allocated to them for importers.
3. The extent to which the shares of the Member States have been used up shall be recorded on the basis of imports submitted for customs clearance under cover of declarations that they have been made available for free circulation.
4. Where import documents are used for the administration of the quota, they shall be sent to the issuing body as soon as possible and at all events on their expiry.

(3) The Commission has assessed the work programmes and corresponding budget estimates submitted by the Community reference laboratories for the year 2005.
(4) Accordingly, Community financial aid should be granted to the Community reference laboratories designated to carry out the functions and duties provided for in Council Directive 92/46/EEC of 16 June 1992 laying down the health rules for the production and placing on the market of raw milk, heat-treated milk and milk-based products (3), Council Decision 93/383/EEC of 14 June 1993 on reference laboratories for the monitoring of marine biotoxins (4), Council Decision 1999/313/EC of 29 April 1999 on reference laboratories for monitoring bacteriological and viral contamination of bivalve molluscs (5), Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (6), and Commission Decision 2004/564/EC of 20 July 2004 concerning Community reference laboratories for the epidemiology of zoonoses and for salmonella and national reference laboratories for salmonella (7).
(5) In addition to the financial aid from the Community, further aid should also be granted for the organisation of workshops in areas falling under the responsibility of the Community reference laboratories.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 156/2004 lays down eligibility rules for the workshops organised by the Community reference laboratories. It also limits the financial assistance to a maximum of 30 participants in workshops. Derogations to that limitation should be provided to one Community reference laboratory that needs support for attendance by more than 30 participants in order to achieve the best outcome of its workshops.
(7) Sound financial management requires that recurring difficulties which have occurred in the operation of one Community reference laboratory be taken into account when providing the Community financial aid to that laboratory, which should be audited in the course of the year to further verify compliance with the functions, duties and eligibility conditions laid down by Community rules.
(8) Pursuant to Article 3(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (8), the veterinary and plant health measures undertaken in accordance with Community rules are financed under the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1),
Having regard to Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2398/97 of 28 November 1997 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of cotton-type bed linen originating in Egypt, India and Pakistan(2),
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 2398/97 the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of cotton-hype bed linen falling within CN codes ex 6302 21 00, ex 6302 22 90, ex 6302 31 10, ex 6302 31 90 and ex 6302 32 90 originating inter alia in India. Sampling was applied to Indian exporting producers and individual duty rates ranging from 2,6 % to 24,7 % were imposed on the companies in the sample, while other cooperating companies not included in the sample were attributed a weighted average duty rate of 11,6 %. A duty rate of 24,7 % was imposed on companies which either did not make themselves known or did not cooperate in the investigation.
(2) Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2398/97 stipulates that where any exporting producer provides sufficient evidence that:
- it did not export to the Community the products described in Article 1(1) of that Regulation during the investigation period (1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996),
- it is not related to any of the exporters or producers in the exporting country which are subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by that Regulation,
- it has actually exported to the Community the products concerned after the investigation period on which the measures are based, or it has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Community,
then Article 1(3) of that Regulation can be amended by granting that exporting producer the duty rate applicable to cooperating producers which were not included in the sample, i.e. 11,6 %.
B. NEW EXPORTING PRODUCERS' REQUESTS
(3) Four new Indian exporting producers, after having applied not to be treated differently from the companies which cooperated in the original investigation but were not included in the sample, have provided, on request, evidence showing that they meet the requirements set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2398/97. The evidence provided by these applicant companies is considered sufficient to allow that Regulation to be amended by adding these four new exporting producers to Annex I thereto. Annex I specifies the Indian exporting producers which are subject to the weighted average duty rate of 11,6 %,
The following companies shall be added to the list of exporting producers from India listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2398/97:
- Emm Libas Private Limited, New Delhi,
- Sarna Exports Limited, New Delhi,
- Stitchwell Garments, Ahmedabad,

on the making available of sugar held by the Italian intervention agency to charitable organizations within the framework of an emergency aid measure in favour of the persons most in need, suffering from the cold wave
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 229/87 (2), and in particular Article 8 (5), Article 11 (3) and the second subparagraph of Article 39 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 469/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts in the sugar sector (3), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 11 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that it may be decided that intervention agencies shall make sugar held by them available free of charge to recognized charitable organizations involved in the mounting of specific emergency aid operations, for free distribution for human consumption on the internal market of the Community;
Whereas the particularly severe weather conditions of the 1986/87 winter in the Community have serious consequences for the persons most in need suffering from the cold wave; whereas this situation requires the rapid implementation of such operations; whereas the Commuity resources available in the sector should be used as a matter of urgency in order to come to their assistance through recognized charitable organizations;
Whereas for this purpose only the Italian intervention agency holds sugar in stock and this sugar should be made available free of charge to the organizations at their request up to the limit of the quantity in stock and the needs of each Member State;
Whereas the costs of the operation, that is to say the appropriate costs of conditioning, packing, transportation and distribution in the Community, should be chargeable to the Community on a flat rate basis in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 3247/81 of 9 November 1981 on the financing by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section, of certain intervention measures, particularly those involving the buying in, storage and sale of agricultural products by intervention agencies (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2632/85 (5);
Whereas the nature of the operation to make available the sugar in question is not a transaction requiring the prices of the sugar to be at the same level and it is not therefore necessary to apply the accession compensatory amounts applicable to trade with Spain and Portugal;
Whereas the operation is not a resale within the meaning of Article 12 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1998/78 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 89/87 (7), and provision should be made that the relevant storage levy should not be payable on the quantities in question and that it should not be taken into account in the calculation referred to in Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1358/77 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3042/78 (9);
