Whereas:
(1) To ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to the said regulation, it is necessary to make a distinction between, on the one hand, fruit juices containing added sugar of heading 2009 and, on the other hand, preparations for the manufacture of beverages including flavoured sugar syrups of heading 2106.
(2) According to the harmonised system explanatory note to heading 2009, amongst other additives, sugar can be added to fruit juices provided that they retain their original character.
(3) The fruit juices or mixtures of fruit juices whether or not containing added sugar are classified in the subheadings of heading 2009 of the Combined Nomenclature according to their density, whether or not exceeding 1,33 g/cm3 at 20 °C, which depends, amongst other, on the sugar content of these products.
(4) Additional note 2 to Chapter 20 of the Combined Nomenclature lays down the measuring method to be applied for the determination of the content of various sugars expressed as sucrose for products of this Chapter, including fruit juices of heading 2009.
(5) It seems appropriate to create a minimum limit of 50 % by weight for the fruit juice content of products of subheadings of heading 2009 with the wording "of a density not exceeding 1,33 g/cm3 at 20 °C", in order to ensure that they retain their original character of fruit juices of this heading.
(6) It is necessary to amend additional note 5 to Chapter 20 to reflect this decision.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Additional note 5 to Chapter 20 of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is replaced by the following text: "5. (a) The added sugar content of products classified under heading No 2009 corresponds to the 'sugar content' less the figures given hereunder, according to the kind of juice concerned:
- lemon or tomato juice: 3,
- apple juice: 11,
- grape juice: 15,
- other fruit or vegetable juices, including mixtures of juices: 13.
(b) The fruit juices with added sugar, of a density not exceeding 1,33 g/cm3 at 20 °C and containing less than 50 % by weight of fruit juices in their natural state obtained from fruits or by dilution of concentrated juice, lose their original character of fruit juices of heading No 2009."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

Regulation (EC) No 1431/94 should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new regulation.
(2) The tariff quotas should be administered on the basis of import licences. For this purpose, the arrangements for submitting applications and the details that should appear on the licence applications and the licences themselves should be specified.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (5) should apply, save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.
(4) In order to ensure a regular flow of imports, the quota period running from 1 January to 31 December should be subdivided into several subperiods. In any event, under Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 licences are valid only up to and including the last day of the tariff quota period. The administration of the tariff quotas should be based on import licences.
(5) In view of the risk of speculation inherent in the system in the poultrymeat sector, clear conditions should be laid down as regards access for operators to the tariff quota scheme.

1. By way of derogation from Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, import licences shall be valid for 150 days from the first day of the subperiod for which they are issued.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 of 17 February 1997 on Community Statistics(1), and in particular Article 17(2) and Article 20(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) There is a growing demand by researchers and the scientific community in general to have access for scientific purposes to confidential data transmitted to the Community authority.
(2) Access for scientific purposes to confidential data may be granted either by granting access on the premises of the Community authority or by releasing anonymised data to researchers under specific conditions (controlled access).
(3) This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
(4) This Regulation ensures, in particular, full respect for the right for private life and for the protection of personal data (Articles 7 and 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union).

(6) The measures laid down in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Statistical Confidentiality,
Aim
The aim of this Regulation is to establish, for the purpose of enabling statistical conclusions to be drawn for scientific purposes, the conditions under which access to confidential data transmitted to the Community authority may be granted and the rules of cooperation between the Community and national authorities in order to facilitate such access.
Definitions
For the purposes of this Regulation:
- "Community authority", as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 322/97, shall mean the Commission department responsible for carrying out the tasks devolving on the Commission as regards the production of Community statistics (Eurostat),
- "Community statistics", as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 322/97, shall mean quantitative, aggregated and representative information taken from the collection and systematic processing of data, produced by the national authorities and the Community authority in the framework of implementation of the Community statistical programme,
- "Confidential data" shall mean data which allow only indirect identification of the statistical units concerned,
- "access to confidential data" shall mean either access on the premises of the Community authority or release of anonymised microdata,
- "anonymised microdata" shall mean individual statistical records which have been modified in order to minimise, in accordance with current best practice, the risk of identification of the statistical units to which they relate,
- "national authorities", as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 322/97, shall mean national statistical institutes and other bodies responsible in each Member State for producing Community statistics.
Admissibility of requests "ratione personae"
1. Access to confidential data may be granted by the Community authority to researchers of bodies falling within any of the following categories:
(a) universities and other higher education organisations established by Community law or by the law of a Member State;
(b) organisations or institutions for scientific research established under Community law or under the law of a Member State;
(c) other agencies, organisations and institutions, after having received the opinion of the Committee on statistical confidentiality, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 20(2) of Regulation (EC) No 322/97.
2. Access to confidential data may also be granted by the Community authority to researchers of bodies commissioned to carry out research for scientific purposes. The commissioning and commissioned bodies shall fall within any of the categories of bodies specified in paragraph 1. The commissioned bodies may also be organisations or institutions which have been commissioned by departments of the Commission or of the administrations of the Member States to undertake specific research. Such organisations or institutions shall have legal personality.
General Conditions
1. Subject to the fulfilment of the specific requirements laid down in Articles 5 and 6, as the case may be, the Community authority may grant access to confidential data provided that the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) an appropriate request together with a detailed research proposal in conformity with current scientific standards have been submitted;
(b) the research proposal shall indicate in sufficient detail the set of data to be accessed, the methods of analysing them and an indication of the time needed;
(c) a contract specifying the conditions for access, the obligations of the researchers, the measures for respecting the confidentiality of statistical data and the sanctions in case of breach of these obligations has been signed by the individual researcher, by his/her institution, or by the organisation commissioning the research, as the case may be, and by the Community authority;
(d) the national authority, which provided the data, has been informed before access is granted.
2. In addition to the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, the Community authority may grant access to confidential data on its premises as set out in Article 5 provided that the following conditions are also satisfied:
(a) the research will be carried out exclusively within the premises of the Community authority and under the supervision of a designated official of that authority;
(b) the results of the research shall not leave the premises of the Community authority without prior checking to ensure that they do not include confidential data;
(c) prospective results to be published or otherwise released, shall be checked by the Community authority to avoid disclosure of confidential data.
Access on the premises of the Community authority
1. The Community authority may grant access on its premises to confidential data obtained from the following surveys or statistical data sources:
- European Community Household Panel,
- Labour Force Survey,
- Community Innovation Survey,
- continuing vocational training survey.
However, on the request of the national authority which provided the data, access to data from that national authority shall not be granted for a specific research project.
2. Subject to the prior explicit approval of the relevant national authority, the Community authority may grant access on its premises to confidential data other than those referred to in paragraph 1.
Release of anonymised microdata
1. The Community authority may release sets of anonymised microdata obtained from the following surveys or statistical data sources:
- European Community Household Panel;
- Labour Force Survey;
- Community Innovation Survey;
- continuing vocational training survey.
However, on the request of the national authority which provided the data, release of data from that national authority shall not be granted for a specific research project.
2. Prior to such release, the Community authority shall ensure in cooperation with the national authorities, that the methods of anonymisation applied to these microdata sets minimise in accordance with current best practice the risk of identification of the statistical units concerned, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 322/97.
Bilateral agreements
Each national authority and the Community authority shall bilaterally agree in writing on the practical arrangements and conditions referred to in Articles 5 and 6. The bilateral agreements, and any changes to them, shall be reported to the Committee on Statistical Confidentiality.
Organisation matters
1. The necessary administrative, technical and organisational measures shall be taken by the Community authority to ensure that access to confidential data neither impairs the physical and logical protection of confidential data nor allows unlawful disclosure or use outside the purposes for which access had been granted.
2. Wherever the position of national authorities is required, technical and organisational measures shall be taken by national authorities and the Community authority to ensure that appropriate cooperation is conducted in an efficient manner without undue delays and taking into account the needs of the research project. Every effort shall be made to ensure that the position of the national authority as required by Article 5 or Article 6 will be provided not more than six weeks from the date that the relevant request has been received by the national authority.
3. Provided that appropriate facilities are in place to protect the confidentiality of data, and that the approval of the national authorities which transmitted the data to the Community authority has been granted, access to confidential data may also be permitted in a secure area on the premises of a national authority. In such cases, the measures in place to ensure the physical and logical protection of the data will be comparable with those in place on the premises of the Community authority.
Costs
The costs related to the access to confidential data in accordance with this Regulation, and in particular, the use of the Commission facilities, shall be borne by the applicants. In determining the costs, the Community authority will ensure that they do not lead to unfair competition with the national authorities.
0

of 16 July 1985
on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: derogations in connection with the special aids granted to certain farmers to compensate for the dismantlement of monetary compensatory amounts applying to certain agricultural products
(85/361/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 99 and 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 855/84 of 31 March 1984 on the calculation and dismantlement of the monetary compensatory amounts applying to certain agricultural products (4) provided for an adaptation of the representative rates which, in the case of the Federal Republic of Germany, must, on 1 January 1985, entail lower prices when expressed in national currency and consequently lower farm incomes; whereas, by way of compensation, the possibility of granting special national aids to which the Community would contribute on a temporary and degressive basis was provided for in that Regulation;
Whereas Article 3 of the said Regulation thus authorized Germany to grant a special aid, using value added tax as an instrument, of an amount not exceeding 3 % of the price excluding VAT paid by the purchaser of the agricultural product;
Whereas Council Decision 84/361/EEC of 30 June 1984 concerning an aid granted to farmers in the Federal Republic of Germany (5), authorized Germany to exceed this limit and to apply a percentage of 5 % for the period between 1 July 1984 and 31 December 1988; whereas, as a result, it is necessary that this Directive shall apply from 1 July 1984;
Whereas, however, the compensation thus granted should not exceed the effects of the dismantlement of monetary compensatory amounts;
Whereas the temporary and degressive nature of the consequences of the dismantlement of monetary compensatory amounts requires that the period for which the special aid of 3 % is to be granted should be limited to 31 December 1991;
Whereas it is necessary that Germany takes steps to ensure that the own resources relating to the transactions covered by this Directive are not affected by the application of this Directive;
Whereas, having regard to the purpose for which Germany has been authorized to grant the special aid, it is necessary for the measures taken in pursuance of that authorization and by virtue of this Directive to be reviewed and evaluated by the Commission; whereas this may conveniently be effected by means of an annual report to be presented to the European Parliament and the Council;
Whereas, in the framework of this Directive, the Commission is to fix, on the basis of the information provided by Germany and after consultation of the Advisory Committee on VAT Own Resources, the definitive amount of VAT own resources due by Germany relating to transactions covered by this Directive,
By way of derogation from Directive 77/388/EEC, Germany is hereby authorized to use value added tax in order to grant the special aid permitted in Regulation (EEC) No 855/84 and Decision 84/361/EEC.
1. Value added tax may be used as an instrument to grant the aid only within the limit of 3 % authorized in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 855/84.
2. However, in accordance with Decision 84/361/EEC, the percentage referred to in paragraph 1 may be increased up to 5 % until 31 December 1988.
Germany shall take the necessary steps to ensure that the own resources relating to the transactions covered by this Directive are not affected by the application of Articles 1 and 2.
The Commission shall draw up a report each year on the operation of the aid mechanism during the previous year, which shall be submitted to the European Parliament and the Council by 1 March of the following year at the latest; the report should contain details of the measures taken by Germany and their implementation, having particular regard to the objectives pursued in setting up the aid mechanism, fiscal neutrality and the effects of the measures on the Community's own resources.
On the basis of the information to be provided by Germany, and after consultation of the Advisory Committee on VAT Own Resources, the Commission shall decide the definitive amount of VAT own resources due by Germany relating to the transactions coverd by this Directive. For this purpose, a special deadline appropriate to this procedure shall be adopted by appropriate amendments of the general rules concerning own resources.
Germany shall communicate to the Commission details of the measures which it adopts for the application of this Directive.
This Directive shall be applicable with effect from 1 July 1984 until 31 December 1991 at the latest.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in rice(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2002(4), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide that the difference between quotations of 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 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 740/2003(6), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(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(7), 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 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93(8), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1786/2001(9), 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 to 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) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1039/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Estonia and the exportation of certain agricultural products to Estonia(10), Council Regulation (EC) No 1086/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Slovenia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Slovenia(11), Council Regulation (EC) No 1087/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Latvia and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Latvia(12), Council Regulation (EC) No 1088/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Lithuania and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Lithuania(13), Council Regulation (EC) No 1089/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Slovak Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Slovak Republic(14) and Council Regulation (EC) No 1090/2003 of 18 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Czech Republic and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to the Czech Republic(15) with effect from 1 July 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Estonia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia or the Czech Republic are not eligible for export refunds.
(9) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 999/2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the import of certain processed agricultural products originating in Hungary and the export of certain processed agricultural products to Hungary(16), with effect from 1 July 2003, the goods referred to in its Article 1(2) which are exported to Hungary are not eligible for export refunds.
(10) In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1890/2003 of 27 October 2003 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Malta and the exportation of certain processed agricultural products to Malta(17), with effect from 1 November 2003, processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty which are exported to Malta, are not eligible for export refunds.
(11) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.
(12) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and listed either in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 respectively, are fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 1017/68, the Commission is empowered to adopt implementing provisions concerning the hearings provided for in Article 26 (1) and (2) of that Regulation;
Whereas in most cases the Commission will in the course of the procedure already be in close touch with the participating undertakings or associations of undertakings and they will accordingly have the opportunity of making known their views regarding the objections raised against them;
Whereas, however, in accordance with Article 26 (1) of Regulation No 1017/68 and with the rights of defence, the undertakings and associations of undertakings concerned must have the right on conclusion of the procedure to submit their comments on the whole of the objections raised against them which the Commission proposes to deal with in its decisions;
Whereas persons other than the undertakings or associations of undertakings which are involved in the procedure may have an interest in being heard ; whereas, by the second sentence of Article 26 (2) of Regulation No 1017/68, such persons must have the opportunity of being heard if they apply and show that they have a sufficient interest;

Whereas the various persons entitled to submit comments must do so in writing, both in their own interest and in the interests of good administration, without prejudice to oral procedure where appropriate to supplement the written procedure;
Whereas it is necessary to define the rights of persons who are to be heard, and in particular the conditions upon which they may be represented or assisted and the setting and calculation of time limits;
Whereas the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Monopolies delivers its Opinion on the basis of a preliminary draft decision ; whereas it must therefore be consulted concerning a case after the inquiry in respect thereof has been completed ; whereas such consultation does not prevent the Commission from re-opening an inquiry if need be;
Before consulting the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Monopolies, the Commission shall hold a hearing pursuant to Article 26 (1) of Regulation No 1017/68. (1)OJ No L 175, 23.7.1968, p. 1.

If natural or legal persons showing a sufficient interest apply to be heard pursuant to Article 26 (2) of Regulation No 1017/68, the Commission shall afford them the opportunity of making known their views in writing within such time limits as it shall fix.
Where the Commission, having received an application pursuant to Article 10 (2) of Regulation No 1017/68, considers that on the basis of the information in its possession there are insufficient grounds for granting the application, it shall inform the applicants of its reasons and fix a time limit for them to submit any further comments in writing.
1. The Commission shall afford to persons who have so requested in their written comments the opportunity to put forward their arguments orally, if those persons show a sufficient interest or if the Commission proposes to impose on them a fine or periodic penalty payment.

| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 8 December 1969 on control of San José Scale (69/466/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee;
Whereas the production of woody dicotyledonous plants and their fruit occupies an important place in Community agriculture;
Whereas the yield of that production is constantly threatened by harmful organisms;
Whereas, through the protection of such plants against such harmful organisms, not only should productive capacity be maintained but also agricultural productivity increased;
Whereas protective measures to prevent the introduction of harmful organisms into invididual Member States would have only a limited effect if such organisms were not controlled simultaneously and methodically throughout the Community and were not prevented from spreading;
Whereas one of the organisms most harmful to woody dicotyledonous plants is San José Scale (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus Comst.);
Whereas this pest has occurred in several Member States and there are contaminated areas within the Community;
Whereas there is a permanent risk to the cultivation of woody dicotyledonous plants throughout the Community if effective measures are not taken to control this pest and prevent it from spreading;
Whereas, to eradicate this pest, minimum provisions must be adopted for the Community ; whereas Member States must be able to adopt additional or stricter provisions where necessary;
This Directive concerns the minimum measures to be taken within the Member States to control San José Scale (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus Comst.) and to prevent it from spreading.
For the purposes of this Directive: (a) "plants" means live plants and live parts of plants with the exception of fruit and seeds;
(b) "contaminated plants or fruit" means plants or fruit on which one or more San José Scale insects are found, unless it is confirmed that they are dead;
(c) "San José Scale host plants" means plants of the genera Acer L., Cotoneaster Ehrh., Crataegus L., Cydonia Mill., Euonymus L., Fagus L., Juglans L., Ligustrum L., Malus Mill., Populus L., Prunus L., Pyrus L., Ribes L., Rosa L., Salix L., Sorbus L., Syringa L., Tilia L., Ulmus L., Vitis L.;
(d) "nurseries" means plantations in which plants intended for transplanting, multiplying or distributing as individually rooted plants are grown. (1) OJ No 156, 15.7.1967, p. 31.
When an occurrence of San José Scale is recorded, Member States shall demarcate the contaminated area and a safety zone large enough to ensure the protection of the surrounding areas.
The Member States shall provide that, in contaminated areas and safety zones, San José Scale host plants must be appropriately treated to control this pest and prevent it from spreading.
The Member States shall provide that: (a) all contaminated plants in nurseries must be destroyed;
(b) all other plants which are contaminated or suspected of being contaminated and which are growing in a contaminated area must be treated in such a way that those plants and the fresh fruit therefrom are no longer contaminated when moved;
(c) all rooted San José Scale host plants growing within a contaminated area, and parts of such plants which are intended for multiplication and are produced within that area, may be replanted within the contaminated area or transported away from it only if they have not been found to be contaminated and if they have been treated in such a way that any San José Scale insects which might still be present are destroyed.
The Member States shall ensure that in the safety zones San José Scale host plants are subjected to official supervision and are inspected at least once a year in order to detect any occurrence of San José Scale.
The Member States shall provide that in any batch of plants (other than those that are rooted in the ground) and fresh fruit within which contamination has been found, the contaminated plants and fruit must be destroyed and the other plants and fruit in the batch treated or processed in such a way that any San José Scale insects which might still be present are destroyed.
The Member States shall revoke the measures taken to control San José Scale or to prevent it from spreading only if San José Scale is no longer found to be present.
The Member States shall prohibit the holding of San José Scale.
0
1. Member States may authorise: (a) derogations from the measures referred to in Articles 4, 5, 7 and 9 for scientific and phytosanitary purposes, tests and selection work;
(b) by way of derogation from Articles 5 (b) and 7, the immediate processing of contaminated fresh fruit;
(c) by way of derogation from Articles 5 (b) and 7, the movement of contaminated fresh fruit within the contaminated area.
2. The Member States shall ensure that the authorisations referred to in paragraph 1 are granted only where adequate controls guarantee that they do not prejudice the control of San José Scale and create no risk of the spread of this pest.
1
Member States may adopt such additional or stricter provisions as may be required to control San José Scale or to prevent it from spreading.
2
Member States shall bring into force the measures necessary to comply with this Directive within two years following its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.

Whereas under the second indent of Article 2 (1) (e) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1402/83 of 1 June 1983 laying down detailed rules for the granting of private storage aid for long-keeping cheeses during the 1983/84 milk year (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2793/83 (4), changes in the composition of the batch under contract that may be authorized by the intervention agency are limited to the removal or replacement of cheese which has deteriorated; whereas application of this restriction after the end of the minimum storage period appears to be excessive; whereas it should consequently be made possible to remove part of a batch under contract from storage after the minimum period has elapsed without losing entitlement to aid for the entire batch; whereas the provision in question also appears in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1107/68 of 27 July 1968 on detailed rules of application for intervention on the market in Grana Padano and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses (5), in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2496/78 of 26 October 1978 on detailed rules for the granting of private storage aid for Provolone cheese (6), in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1441/83 of 3 June 1983 introducing private storage aid for Pecorino Romano cheese (7), all three amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2793/83, and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2769/83 of 4 October 1983 introducing private storage aid for Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheeses (8); whereas the same change should therefore be made in these four Regulations;
Whereas the provision in question was inserted into the abovementioned Regulations by means of Regulation (EEC) No 2793/83, which entered into force on 10 October 1983; whereas the same date should therefore be laid down for the application of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The following subparagraph is hereby added to Article 17 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1107/68:
'By way of derogation from the first indent of Article 16 (1) (d), when the period of 90 days specified in the first subparagraph has elapsed, the storer may remove all or part of the batch under contract. The minimum quantity that may be removed shall be 200 cheeses.'

The date of the start of operations to remove cheese covered by the contract shall not be included in the period of storage under contract.'
Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2769/83 is hereby replaced by the following:
'3. The aid payable may not exceed an amount corresponding to 150 days' storage under contract terminating before 1 March 1984.

Whereas Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 provides that the Commission may authorize Member States to fix a final date for the submission of an 'area` aid application between 1 April and the dates referred to in Articles 10, 11 and 12 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (3); whereas, in its Decision 96/169/EC (4) the Commission authorized Ireland to fix 30 April 1996 as the final date;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 (1) of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat, and in particular Article 12 (4) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that sluice-gate prices are to be fixed only for certain of the products other than pig carcases in Article 1 of that Regulation and that for these the sluice-gate prices shall be derived from the sluice-gate price for pig carcases;
Whereas the system of sluice-gate prices only achieves its purpose if an offer price can be fixed which is sufficiently representative of all products falling within a single Tariff heading ; whereas such an offer price cannot always be fixed for certain products which are manufactured from various cuts and by various methods and are consequently offered on the market in a wide range of qualities ; whereas sluice-gate prices should accordingly not at present be fixed for those products;
Whereas under Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 the sluice-gate price for pig carcases is to be made up of three components: - an amount equal to the value on the world market of the quantity of feed grain equivalent to the quantity of feedingstuffs required for the production in third countries of one kilogramme of pigmeat,
- a standard amount representing the extra cost, in relation to feed grain, of feedingstuffs other than grain required for the production of one kilogramme of pigmeat,
- a standard amount representing overhead costs of production and marketing;
Whereas this quantity of feed grain should be calculated on the basis of a processing coefficient of 1 : 5.46 ; whereas this coefficient is obtained by multiplying the total quantity of feedingstuffs required for the production and fattening of a young pig, (such quantity containing on average approximately 15 % of feedingstuffs other than grain), by a coefficient of 1.3 expressing the ratio of the value of one kilogramme of live swine to that of one kilogramme of pig carcases;
Whereas it is appropriate to take as representative of the relevant quantity of feed grain on the world market a mixture of cereals with the following composition: >PIC FILE= "T0008429">
Whereas, for the purpose of calculating the value of this quantity of feed grain and in view of its composition, it is thus clear that its price on the world market is equal to the average, weighted according to the composition of the above quantity, of the prices for each of the cereals in question;
Whereas in order to calculate the price of each of the constituent cereals the average cif price for such cereals for the period mentioned in the second subparagraph of Article 12 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 should be used, this average being increased by 0.475 unit of account per 100 kilogrammes of cereals in order to take account of the costs of transport to the place of use and of the cost of processing into feed;
Whereas the value for the quantity of feed grain does not take into account the extra value of protein feeds, mineral salts and vitamins ; whereas in the light of experience on the world market in recent years this extra value can be estimated in general at 15 % of the value of the quantity of feed grain ; whereas the value of that quantity should accordingly be increased by that percentage; (1)See page 1 of this Official Journal.
Whereas, on the basis of the information available, veterinary, stalling and labour costs on the world market may be estimated at approximately 15.63 units of account per 100 kilogrammes of pig carcases, and the insurance, transport and trading margin costs on the world market at approximately 4.37 units of account per 100 kilogrammes of pig carcases ; whereas the value of the quantity of feed grain should therefore be increased by 20 units of account per 100 kilogrammes of pig carcases;
Whereas when the sluice-gate prices applicable from 1 November, 1 February and 1 May are being fixed changes in world market prices for feed grain are to be taken into account only if the value of the quantity of feed grain varies by at least a specified minimum in relation to that used in calculating the sluice-gate price for the preceding quarter;
Whereas a variation of less than 3 % does not have a noticeable effect on the costs of pig feed ; whereas the minimum variation should therefore be fixed at 3 %,
In addition to meat of domestic swine in carcases or half-carcases, fresh, chilled, frozen, salted or in brine, with or without heads, feet or flare fat (subheadings 02.01 A III a) 1 and 02.06 B I a) 1 of the Common Customs Tariff), sluice-gate prices shall be fixed for the following products: >PIC FILE= "T0007944">
>PIC FILE= "T0007945">
1. The value of the quantity of feed grain mentioned in Article 12 (2) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 shall be equal to the price of 5.46 kilogrammes of feed grain with the following composition: >PIC FILE= "T0008430">
2. The price of this quantity of feed grain shall be equal to the average, weighted according to the percentages shown in paragraph 1, of the prices expressed per kilogramme of each of the cereals contained in this quantity, that average being multiplied by 5.46.
3. The price of each cereal shall be equal to the average cif price of this cereal for the period of six months specified in the second subparagraph of Article 12 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75, increased by 0.475 unit of account per 100 kilogrammes of cereal.
1. The standard amount referred to in Article 12 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 shall be 15 % of the value specified in Article 2 of this Regulation.
2. The standard amount referred to in Article 12 (2) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 shall be 20 units of account per 100 kilogrammes of pig carcases.
The minimum variation referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 12 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 shall be 3 %.
1. Council Regulation No 134/67/EEC (1) of 13 June 1967 establishing the list of products for which sluice-gate prices are fixed and adopting the rules for fixing the sluice-gate price for pig carcases, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3158/73 (2), is hereby repealed.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3771/89
of 14 December 1989
laying down detailed rules for the production aid for high-quality flint maize
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3707/89 (2), and in particular Article 10a (6) thereof.
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1835/89 of 19 June 1989 setting general rules on the production aid for high-quality flint maize (3), and in particular Articles 3 (2) and 4 (1) (c) thereof,
Whereas the suitable areas for the production of high-quality flint maize must be defined; whereas the natural drying to a moisture content not exceeding 15 % as specified in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1835/89 requires suitable climatic conditions; whereas the production areas should be restricted to those areas having such climatic conditions;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 10a (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, the minimum particulars which must be included in the cultivation contract should be laid down;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1835/89, Member States must introduce the administrative arrangements, including physical inspection, necessary to ensure that the qualifying requirements for the aid are met; whereas, for the purposes of the inspections to be carried out, only one declaration may be submitted per cultivation contract; whereas the crop declaration and contract must include certain minimum particulars;
Whereas pursuant to Article 2 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1636/87 (5), the aid is to be converted into national currency at the rate prevailing when the transaction or part of the transaction was carried out;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 specifies that the time when a transaction was carried out is considered as being the date of the event by which the aid becomes due and payable; whereas in the case of flint maize that event is harvest; whereas, in view of the difficulty in determining the exact of harvesting in each case, the date to be taken as the representative date of harvest should be the first day of the marketing year in respect of which the entitlement to aid arises;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of securities for agricultural products (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3745/89 (7), applies to the security provided for in this Regulation; whereas it is therefore necessary to define the primary requirements incumbent upon manufacturers of swollen or roasted cereal products falling within CN code 1904 10 10;
Whereas certain rules provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1835/89 should be specified more clearly by defining the minimum items of information to be checked; whereas, on account of the cost and administrative difficulties, a simplified system would be suitable for declarations relating to small areas;
Whereas provision should be made for measures to discourage declarations which do not correspond to the facts;
Whereas the list of varieties of the product in question must be adopted taking into account the definition of high-quality flint maize laid down in Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1835/89; whereas the varieties should display the characteristics referred to in the abovementioned Article, particularly as regards kernel type, kernel tip colour and flotation test; whereas the flotation test for determining the percentage by weight of the sample which floats should be described in detail; whereas a procedure should be laid down for including varieties of flint maize on the list;
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the limit set by its chairman,
The aid provided for in Article 10a of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 shall be granted for the production of certain varieties of flint maize grown in the areas listed in Annex I to this Regulation, in accordance with the conditions set out in this Regulation.
TITLE I
Conditions and terms
The aid shall be granted:
1. in respect of areas:
(a) on which the crop has been left standing in accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1835/89;
(b) for which a cultivation contract has been concluded, as provided for in the first indent of Article 10a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, with a manufacturer of products falling within CN code 1904 10 10, hereinafter referred to as the manufacturer, in accordance with Article 3 of this Regulation; and
(c) which are the subject of a declaration as provided for in Article 4 (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1835/89, in accordance with Article 4 of this Regulation;
2. provided that:
(a) the producer of flint maize, hereinafter referred to as the producer, supplies a copy of the sales invoice relating to the flint maize. The invoice must mention the quantities of maize sold;
(b) on purchasing the flint maize, the manufacturer lodges a security equal to the amount of the aid to be paid to the producer and corresponding to the areas covered by a declaration as provided for in point 1 (c). The security shall be lodged with the competent authority of the Member State in which processing takes place. Where processing takes place in a Member State which is not the producer Member State, the competent authority of the Member State in which processing takes place shall send the competent authority of the producer Member State a document certifying that the security has been lodged.
The security shall serve to guarantee fulfilment of the primary requirement as defined in Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85, namely the processing by the manufacturer of the quantities of maize mentioned in the sales invoice into products falling within CN code 1904 10 10 within a period of 10 months from the month following that in which the sales invoice was drawn up.
To this effect, the quantity of grits used in the manufacture of the product in question may not be less than 45 % by weight of the quantity of maize mentioned on the sales invoice.
Cultivation contracts shall contain at least the following information:
- the name, forename and address of the flint maize producer,
- the name and address of the manufacturer,
- the areas cultivated, in hectares and ares, the cadastral reference of those areas or, failing that, a description recognized as equivalent by the body responsible for checking the areas and the names and addresses of the owners of the areas concerned,
- the varieties of seed used for each area, with indication of the cadastral reference or indication recognized as equivalent,
- the producer's undertaking to deliver all the maize harvested on the areas in question and the manufacturer's undertaking to purchase and process those quantities.
1. Each flint maize producer shall submit a single declaration for each cultivation contract for all the areas in question to the competent authority in the Member State where his holding is situated. Failure to comply with this condition shall entail the rejection of the application. Declarations shall be submitted by the Member State concerned before a date to be fixed, which shall not be later than 30 June each year.
2. Declarations shall contain at least the following information:
- the name, forename and address of the applicant,
- the days of sowing and the foreseeable month and 10-day period of harvest,
- the areas cultivated, in hectares and ares, and the cadastral reference of those areas or, failing that, a description recognized as equivalent by the body responsible for checking the areas and the names and addresses of the owners of the areas concerned.
3. The purchase invoices for the seed and the seed certification documents must be attached to the declarations.
1. The Member State in which the declaration is submitted shall pay the aid not later than the third month following the date on which the sales invoice for the flint maize and proof of the lodging of the security referred to in Article 2 are received.
In cases where the producer was able to deliver only part of the quantities covered by the cultivation contract, for reasons not due to serious negligence on his part, the aid shall be granted in proportion to the quantities delivered and calculated on the basis of the average yields for the region.
2. The operative event within the meaning of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 as regards entitlement to the aid shall be regarded as occuring on 1 July of the year in which the flint maize is produced. Article 6
1. The security referred to in Article 2 (2) (b) shall be released when the competent authority of the processing Member State recives proof that the primary requirement provided for in Article 2 (2) (b) has been fulfilled.
Proof shall consist of national documents determined by the processing Member State.
2. At the request of the interested party, the Member State may release the security by instalments in proportion to the quantities in respect of which the evidence referred to in paragraph 1 has been produced and provided that evidence has been produced that a quantity equal to at least 5 % of the quantity indicated in the sales invoice has been processed.
Where maize harvested in the Community is the subject of intra-Community trade for processing in a Member State other than the producer Member State, the maize shall be dispatched under customs control. In this case, section 44 of the Community document (single administrative document) shall contain one of each of the three following entries:

TITLE II
Supervision
1. As required by Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1835/89, supervision must ensure that the conditions for granting the aid are met, particularly as regards the areas actually cultivated, the variety sown, drying in the prescribed manner, the quantities of maize delivered and the processing of the product.
2. During the checks provided for in Article 4 (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1835/89, all of the areas covered by the declaration must be inspected and measured and the condition of the crop must be verified.
However, in the case of declarations relating to less than four hectares, a simple administrative check may suffice, with additional field checks on at least 30 % of the declarations in question.
3. Before deciding to grant the aid, Member States shall check that the producer's undertaking to deliver all of the maize harvested on the areas in question has been fulfilled. For the purpose of this check, Member States shall fix the average yield established for the region concerned listed in Annex I.
4. For the purpose of checking the processing of flint maize into products falling wihtin CN code 1904 10 10, inspectors shall be granted access to the stock and financial accounts of the manufacturer and the production and storage premises.
The physical checks shall cover at least 10 % of the quantities in respect of which a security has been lodged.
If, as a result of the checks provided for in Article 8 (2) and (3), the competent authority finds that the contents of the declaration do not accord with the facts, or that the producer's undertaking to deliver all of the maize harvested on the areas in question has not been fulfilled, without prejudice to the cases provided for in Article 5, the declarant shall lose his entitlement to aid for all the areas covered by his declarations. Article 10
If, for reasons attributable to the applicant, the check referred to in Article 8 (2) cannot be carried out, Article 9 shall apply, except in cases of force majeure. Grounds for invoking force majeure must be supplied by the interested party in writing, within 10 days from the planned date of the check.
1
Member States shall forward to the Commission:
1. by 31 July of the year of production at the latest, the data on the areas and varieties which have been the subject of a declaration;
2. by 31 December of the year of production at the latest, the areas in respect of which aid has been granted.
TITLE III
Amendment of the list of varieties
2
1. Only varieties of high-quality flint maize displaying the characteristics set out in Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1835/89 may be included in the list of varieties.
2. The method for the flotation test to verify the percentage by weight of floating kernels in the sample is set out in Annex II.
3
1. Member States wishing to have an eligible variety of flint maize included in the list provided for in Article 12 (1) shall submit to the Commission, not later than 20 December each year, an application stating the name of the variety and its reference in the national catalogue of agricultural plant varieties. In addition, they shall submit an extract of the entry in the national catalogue describing the kernel type and kernel tip colour in accordance with the guidelines for establishing distinctness, homogeneity and stability of the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants.
2. Having submitted an application in accordance with paragraph 1, Member States shall forward to the laboratories listed in Annex III a sample of certified seed of each of the varieties of flint maize in respect of which the application was submitted, not later than 20 December of each year.
Such samples of Community origin must weigh at least one kilogram and must have been produced during that year.
The samples to be sent to be laboratories shall be labelled with a code and the Member States shall forward to the Commission under sealed cover the information enabling the samples to be decoded.
4
1. The laboratories shall inform the Commission of the results of the analyses not later than 31 January following the date when the samples were received.
2. The Commission shall establish the arithmetic mean of the results of the tests, after excluding the highest and the lowest figures.
3. Should two or more applications for the inclusion of a single variety be received, its characteristics shall be determined according to the mean of the test results, after paragraph 2 has been applied.
4. The Commission shall adopt the list referred to in Article 12 (1) on the basis of the results referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3.

(1) Commission Decision 1999/467/EC of 15 July 1999 establishing the officially tuberculosis-free status of bovine herds of certain Member States or regions of Member States and repealing Decision 97/76/EC(3), as last amended by Decision 2000/694/EC(4), granted this status to certain Member States and regions thereof.
(2) The competent authorities of France submitted to the Commission documentation demonstrating compliance with all of the conditions provided for in Annex A(I)(4) to Directive 64/432/EEC, and in particular that, calculated at 31 December of each year, more than 99,9 % of the bovine herds in France have been officially free from bovine tuberculosis for the past six consecutive years and that recording in a database established in December 1999 allows tracing of bovine animals which are identified in accordance with Community legislation.
(3) It appears therefore appropriate to declare France officially tuberculosis-free in accordance with the provisions of the above Directive.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Annex I to Decision 1999/467/EC is replaced by the Annex to the present Decision.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 14(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) 2-phenylphenol is an active substance belonging to the fourth stage of the review programme of Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) for which the assessment report was presented to the Commission on 19 December 2008 in the format of the EFSA Scientific Report for 2-phenylphenol (3). That report includes the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, on the necessity of setting MRLs for that active substance in accordance with Article 12(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, and a proposal for such MRLs.
(2) The Authority examined in particular the risks to consumers and animals. It evaluated the representative use as a post harvest fungicide on citrus and pears and concluded that, based on the available information, a maximum residue level (MRL) of 5 mg/kg should be set provisionally for the notified use on citrus fruit by drench application. In order to confirm the risk assessment, the Authority requested confirmation that the analytical method applied in the residue trials correctly quantifies the residues of 2-phenylphenol, 2-phenylhydroquinone and their conjugates. In addition, the Authority concluded that the notifier should submit two additional residue trials on citrus fruit and valid storage stability studies. As regards the notified use on pears, the Authority could not propose any MRL because the submitted residue data were not acceptable. In the absence of a specific MRL, the lowest limit of analytical determination should apply.
(3) The risk assessment carried out by the Authority took into account the most recent information on the toxicological properties of 2-phenylphenol. It showed that an MRL of 5 mg/kg for citrus fruit is acceptable with regard to consumer safety on the basis of a consumer exposure assessment for 27 specific European consumer groups. The lifetime exposure assessment via consumption of all food products that may contain 2-phenylphenol showed that there is no risk that the acceptable daily intake (ADI) is exceeded. As an acute reference dose (ARfD) is not necessary for 2-phenylphenol, there was no need to evaluate the short term exposure.
(4) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the EFSA Scientific report for 2-phenylphenol, including the proposed MRLs. The notifier submitted its comments, which have been carefully examined.
(5) Based on the Scientific Report of the Authority and taking into account the factors relevant to the matter under consideration, the proposed MRLs fulfil the requirements of Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2011.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3446/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down detailed rules for granting private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3533/93(4), lays down in particular detailed rules where the amount of aid is fixed at a flat rate in advance.
(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3447/90 of 28 November 1990 on special conditions for the granting of private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 40/96(6), lays down in particular the minimum quantities per contract.
(3) The application of Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 may result in a decision to grant private storage aid. That Article provides for the application of these measures on the basis of the situation of each quotation zone. Article 12(2) provides for aid to be granted in the framework of an advance fixing procedure where urgent recourse to private storage proves necessary. In view of the particularly difficult market situation in Finland, the conditions laid down in that Article have been met. As a consequence, it has been judged opportune to initiate such a procedure.

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 24 November 1982, 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 'Lumonics - High Average Power CO2 Laser, model TEA-820', ordered on 1 October 1979 and intended to be used for molecular dissociation tests requiring high energy and in particular for molecular beam spectroscopy tests, 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 30 May 1983, within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements, to examine the matter;

of 2 April 2002
fixing the export refunds on pigmeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1365/2000(2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for these products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in pigmeat that the refund should be fixed as set out below.
(3) In the case of products falling within CN code 0210 19 81, the refund should be limited to an amount which takes account of the qualitative characteristics of each of the products falling within these codes and of the foreseeable trend of production costs on the world market. It is important that the Community should continue to take part in international trade in the case of certain typical Italian products falling within CN code 0210 19 81.
(4) Because of the conditions of competition in certain third countries, which are traditionally importers of products falling within CN codes 1601 00 and 1602, the refund for these products should be fixed so as to take this situation into account. Steps should be taken to ensure that the refund is granted only for the net weight of the edible substances, to the exclusion of the net weight of the bones possibly contained in the said preparations.
(5) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 according to destination.
(6) The refunds should be fixed taking account of the amendments to the refund nomenclature established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 488/2002(4).
(7) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to circulate freely within the Community. Therefore, to be eligible for a refund, products should be required to bear the health mark laid down in Council Directive 64/433/EEC(5), as last amended by Directive 95/23/EC(6), Council Directive 94/65/EC(7) and Council Directive 77/99/EEC(8), as last amended by Directive 97/76/EC(9).
(8) The Management Committee for Pigmeat has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The list of products on which the export refund specified in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 is granted and the amount of the refund shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
The products concerned must comply with the relevant provisions on health marks laid down in:
- Chapter XI of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC,
- Chapter VI of Annex I to Directive 94/65/EC,
- Chapter VI of Annex B to Directive 77/99/EEC.

(2) Article 3(3) of the Agreement provides that unused quantities for a given year may be carried over to the following year up to a maximum of 7 % of the relevant quantitative limit set out in Annex II to the Agreement.
(3) Pursuant to Article 3(4) of the Agreement transfers between product groups may be made up to 7 % of the quantitative limit of a given product group and transfers between product categories are permitted up to a maximum of 25 000 tonnes.
(4) Russia has notified the Community of its intent to make use of the provisions in Article 3(3) and (4) within the time limits set by the Agreement. It is appropriate to make the necessary adjustments to the quantitative limits for the year 2008 resulting from Russia’s request.
(5) Article 10 stipulates that with each yearly renewal, quantities in every product group shall be increased by 2,5 %.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 1342/2007 should be amended accordingly,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 90 thereof,
Whereas pursuant to Article 95 (2) of the Act the aid arrangement for sunflower seed harvested in Spain will be radically altered with effect from 1 January 1991; whereas termination of the price and volume control arrangements indicated in Article 94 of the Act will permit entry at the world market price of sunflower oil for consumption in Spain; whereas such a change during the course of the marketing year would be likely, if suitable action is not taken, to disturb the market;
Whereas transitional provisions covering sunflower oil from seed harvested and processed in Spain before 31 December 1990 should therefore be adopted that will provide a harmonious changeover to the Community trade and aid arrangements;
Whereas these provisions may consist of providing persons holding stocks of sunflower oil in Spain on 31 December 1990 with the possibility to avoid a financial loss on the sale of this oil;
Whereas such control arrangements should be introduced as are needed to permit identification on 31 December 1990 of stocks of sunflower oil from seed harvested and processed in Spain;
Whereas under Council Regulation (EEC) No 3849/89 (1) the period during which transitional measures may be taken as provided for in Article 90 of the Act has been extended to 31 December 1990;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
This Regulation lays down transitional provisions covering sunflower seed harvested and processed in Spain before 31 December 1990 and stored as oil in Spain until 31 December 1990.
Aid may be granted under the transitional provisions to enterprises that crush, refine or prepare oil for the market, are legally established in Spain and on 31 December 1990 hold stocks of sunflower oil from seed harvested and processed in Spain.
Aid shall not be granted to undertakings the activities of which are restricted to wholesale or retail sale.
Spain shall make an inventory of actual stocks of sunflower oil identified as such, held on 31 December 1990 by undertakings of the types indicated in Article 2. The inventory must show for each undertaking and each of its establishments the quantity of raw and the quantity of refined sunflower oil held.
The inventory costs shall be charged to undertakings.
Each undertaking must show to the satisfaction of the Member State that the oil shown on the inventory is from seed harvested and processed in Spain before 31 December 1990.
The aid entitlement of eligible undertakings shall be calculated as the aid for the equivalent amount of seed, on the basis:
- of a crude oil seed yield of 42 %,
- of a refining yield of 96 %.
The unit aid amount shall be notified by the Commission to Spain before 31 December 1990 and shall be the difference between:
- the average of the aid indicated in Article 27 of Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC (1) that is fixed between 1 and 15 December 1990 for the month of January 1991 for sunflower seed harvested and processed in Spain, expressed in national currency, and
- the aid set out in Article 27 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, for the period from 1 August and 31 December 1990 for the current month for sunflower seed harvested and processed, expressed in national currency, in Spain.
Spain shall determine the entitlement to aid of each eligible undertaking and pay the aid before 31 March 1991.
Spain shall determine the control measures required to guarantee proper application of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 17 of 6 February 1962, First Regulation implementing Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1/2003(2), and in particular Articles 3 and 16 thereof,
Having regard to the Commission Decision of 8 March 2001 to initiate proceedings in this case,
Having regard to the Commission Decision 2002/165/EC(3) based on Regulation No 17, and particularly on the Commission's powers under Article 3 thereof to adopt interim measures, addressed and notified to IMS Health in this case,
Having regard to the application for withdrawal of the decision by IMS Health on 31 October 2002,
Having given IMS Health, NDC Health and AzyX the opportunity to make known their views on whether or not the Commission should withdraw the interim measures decision on grounds of lack of urgency,
Having regard to the final report of the Hearing Officer in this case(4),
After consulting the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions,
Whereas:
(1) IMS Health (IMS) has created, in collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry over a long period of time, a brick structure for the presentation of regional pharmaceutical prescription and sales data services in Germany. The Commission found in its Decision 2002/165/EC that this constituted a de facto industry standard and it was acknowledged to be so by the pharmaceutical companies. The need for comparable and compatible data, the possible loss of relationship between sales representatives and the doctors, the modification of the working contracts of sales representatives and the costs incurred to modify software and applications based on the 1860 brick structure if pharmaceutical companies were to switch to another brick structure, were considered as creating a very significant obstacle for them to do so. Moreover, technical and other constraints such as the necessary use of administrative boundaries, the data-protection law and the uncertainty concerning the permissibility under copyright law of selling data in another structure based on postal districts, gravely limited the possibilities to create other marketable brick structures. In particular, the Landgericht Frankfurt am Main (Frankfurt District Court) had granted, between October and December 2000, separate injunctions prohibiting NDC Health (NDC) (an American multinational company), AzyX (a much smaller Belgian company) and Pharma Intranet Information (PI, now a subsidiary of NDC), competitors of IMS on the regional pharmaceutical sales data services market, from using structures derived from the 1860 brick structure on the basis that IMS enjoyed copyright protection.
(2) The Commission also found that IMS had no objective justification for refusing to grant a licence for the 1860 brick structure to, NDC and AzyX. The Commission considered that there was a prima facie case of behaviour constituting an abuse under Article 82. The Commission considered that there were "exceptional circumstances" within the meaning of the phrase used by the European Court of Justice in Magill(5) read in conjunction with the Ladbroke(6) and Bronner(7) cases. The use of the 1860 brick structure was considered as being indispensable to carrying on business on the relevant market because there was no actual or potential substitute for it.
(3) The Commission found that the refusal by IMS to license the 1860 brick structure created a risk of serious and irreparable harm to the complainant, NDC, and of intolerable damage to the public interest which established the urgent need to grant protective interim measures. First, the Commission considered, on the basis of the evidence before it, that unless NDC was granted a licence to the 1860 brick structure its German operation would go out of business. In the Commission's view, without interim measures, NDC would lose current customers, had no prospect of attracting new customers for the coming years and would probably cease trading in Germany. Second, apart from the serious risk of irreparable harm to NDC, there was also a risk of intolerable damage to the public interest within the meaning of the La Cinq judgment(8). Since without the 1860 brick structure it was not possible to compete on the market at that time or in the foreseeable future, there would be, in the absence of interim measures, a serious risk to the continued presence on the market of the other competitor then active, AzyX. Finally, rejecting IMS's contention that it would suffer irreparable harm, the Commission concluded that the balance of interests in this case favoured both NDC and the public interest.
(4) The Commission therefore adopted Decision 2002/165/EC, which ordered IMS, by way of interim measures, to license the 1860 brick structure to its then competitors on the market for German regional pharmaceutical sales data services, in return for royalties to be agreed by the parties within a two-week period of the date of the request for a licence failing which appropriate royalties would be determined by independent experts.
(5) By application lodged at the Registry of the Court of First Instance on 6 August 2001 under the reference T-184/01, IMS Health brought an action seeking the annulment of the decision or alternatively annulment of its decision concerning the requirement to license the 1860 brick structure in circumstances where the licence terms would be conducted and approved by the Commission and the suspension of the operation of the Commission's Decision.
(6) By an Order of 26 October 2001 in case T-184/01R, the President of the Court of First Instance (CFI) suspended the execution of Commission Decision 2002/165/EC until such time as the Court of First Instance has given judgment in the main action.
(7) By application lodged at the Court Registry on 12 December 2001 under the reference C-481/01 P(R), NDC Health Corporation appealed against the abovementioned order of the President of the CFI.
(8) By an Order of 11 April 2002 in case C-481/01P(R), the President of the Court of Justice (ECJ) dismissed the appeal of NDC.
(9) Reference has been made on 12 July 2001 to the ECJ by the Landgericht Frankfurt am Main (Frankfurt District Court ) for a preliminary ruling on related questions regarding the interpretation of Article 82 of the Treaty. The reference arises in the context of a copyright infringment action before the German courts between IMS Health and NDC Health. This case was registered under the reference C-418/01 and is still pending and proceedings in the main action concerning Decision 2002/165/EC have been stayed until judgment has been given in that preliminary ruling.
(10) In a judgment of 17 September 2002, the Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt am Main (Frankfurt Higher Regional Court) dismissed an appeal brought by PI against the abovementioned judgment of the Frankfurt District Court enjoining PI and its co-founder from using the 1860 brick structure or any derivative thereof. While recognising that the 1860 brick structure was protected by national copyright (the relevant right being held by, inter alia, certain IMS employees rather than by IMS itself) and that direct reproduction of that structure by a competitor of IMS constituted a breach of the Gesetz gegen den unlauteren Wettbewerb (Law on Unfair Competition), the Higher Regional Court held that "der Beklagten oder Dritten die freie, selbständige Entwicklung einer Segmentstruktur, die ebenfalls auf der Einteilung nach Landkreisen, kreisfreien Städten und Postleitzahlbezirken beruht und deshalb ggfs. aus einer annähernd gleichen Anzahl von Segmenten besteht, nicht ohne weiteres untersagt werden könnte. (...) Insbesondere könnte es der Beklagten oder Dritten nicht zugemutet werden, eine den praktischen Anforderungen nur unzulänglich gerecht werdende Datenstruktur zu erstellen, nur um einen möglichst weiten Abstand von dem Produkt der Klägerin zu halten. Vielmehr können Abweichungen nicht verlangt werden, wo die Übereinstimmungen auf sachlich - technischen Anforderungen beruhen und unter Berücksichtigung des Freihaltebedürfnisses der Wettbewerber in diesen Merkmalen die angemessene Verwirklichung der Technischen Aufgabe liegt." (The defendant or third parties could not simply be prohibited from developing freely and independently a brick structure that is similarly based on a breakdown by district, urban district and post-code district and for that reason comprise more or less the same number of bricks. (...) In particular, the defendant or third parties could not be expected to produce a data structure that does not sufficiently satisfy the practical requirements simply in order to keep as much distance as possible from the plaintiff's product. Instead, variations cannot be demanded where the overlaps are based on material technical requirements and, in the light taking into account "the need of availability" for competitors, the appropriate performance of the technical task depends on these features).
(11) On 16 April 2003, the Frankfurt District Court forbade AzyX to use the 1860 brick structure and any derivative of it. This judgment was not appealed before the Frankfurt Higher Regional Court.
(12) In its observations of 12 May 2003 on whether or not the Commission should withdraw the interim measures decision, IMS considered that the interpretation of the 17 September 2002 raises legal and factual questions that remain sub judice before the German Courts and that it is for them to determine the precise scope of that judgment. As to the withdrawal of the interim measures decision, IMS suggested that the appropriate course of action would be to withdraw that decision since none of the conditions for interim measures are satisfied, including, but not limited to the lack of urgency. As for the current situation in the market, in 2002, IMS had a market share of between [...](9) and [...] % in value and [...] contracts. In the first quarter of 2003, this market share increased by [...] points in value and to [...] contracts taking into account the situation of AzyX.
(13) In its observations of 12 May 2003, NDC considered that there is still considerable uncertainty as to what could be regarded as a derivative of the 1860 brick structure, in particular what is substantially similar to the 1860 brick structure and consequently prohibited under German copyright law. NDC is currently offering data in a structure consisting in around 4000 bricks. This structure is consistent with the structures used by the German postal services. Nevertheless NDC has signed a certain number of new contracts since the 17 September judgment was rendered and there is now apparently greater scope for competitors of IMS to stay on the market as NDC represented between [...] and [...] % in value of the market in 2002 and increased its market share by [...] points in the first quarter with a large amount of contracts. Moreover, NDC has been able to conclude contracts with some bigger pharmaceutical undertakings in its view since the judgement, whereas it previously had no contracts with the top 20 firms.
(14) AzyX stopped its activities in Germany on 12 March 2003. AzyX had some contracts and represented between [...] and [...] % in value of the market for German regional pharmaceutical sales data services at the end of 2002. According to AzyX, the losses were caused by its difficulties, driven in its view by the legal uncertainty, in achieving a sustainable level of penetration of the German market and were no longer bearable.
(15) As regards AzyX, its withdrawal from the German market for regional pharmaceutical sales data services constitutes a material change in circumstances. To the extent that the Commission's decision sought to preserve the public interest in viable competition on that market until a final decision could be adopted in this case, that objective can no longer be realised by requiring the grant of a licence to AzyX. The grant of such a licence to AzyX therefore is not possible and is no longer urgent.
(16) As regards NDC's own interests and the public interest in the maintenance of the sole surviving source of competition, it is not necessary for the Commission to take a position on the likely outcome of the pending proceedings for breach of copyright and unfair competition between IMS and NDC. The Commission notes that the Frankfurt Higher Regional Court's judgment of 17 September 2002 coincides with an improvement in the market position of NDC, based on use of the abovementioned structure. In particular, NDC has, for the first time, succeeded in concluding contracts with some larger pharmaceutical companies in the period subsequent to the judgment and its projections for 2003 indicate a general improvement relative to previous years. Therefore, without prejudice to the question whether the judgment of 17 September 2002 has caused this improvement in the commercial position of NDC, there has been a material change in circumstances. The threat of extinction of NDC, posed to NDC and to the public interest in competition, no longer has the urgency to require the grant of a licence to NDC which was identified by the Commission at the time of adoption of its Decision and which is necessary to justify the maintenance of interim measures.
(17) It is therefore necessary to withdraw Decision 2002/165/EC notified to IMS Health on the ground that there is no longer proven urgency requiring the prevention of irreparable damage to NDC and to the public interest in competition before the Commission adopts the decision concluding the present administrative proceeding,
Commission Decision 2002/165/EC of 3 July 2001, relating to a proceeding pursuant to Article 82 of the EC Treaty (COMP/D3/38.044 NDC Health/IMS Health: Interim measures) is hereby withdrawn.

(93/395/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 79/112/EC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 91/72/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 and 17 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to the procedure laid down in Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Italian authorities notified the Commission of their intention to adopt two draft regulations relating to the packaging of foodstuffs and infant formulae under a modified atmosphere;
Wheres the two draft regulations include labelling rules requiring that the packaging of the products be marked with the words 'packaged under a modified atmosphere';
Whereas, in accordance with Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Commission has consulted the other Member States within the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs;
Whereas it has been generally acknowledged that it is important for consumers to be informed about the method of packaging of the foodstuffs they buy inasmuch as it enables them to understand why the product has a long or a short shelf life;
Whereas, in these circumstances, it would be useful to require the labelling of the products concerned to indicate that packaging gases have been used;
Whereas, however, for Italy to apply such a measure unilaterally would be bound to hamper intra-Community trade;
Whereas this finding led the Commission to deliver a negative opinion in accordance with Article 16 (2) (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC;
Whereas the mot satisfactory solution to the problem raised by the draft Italian regulations would be to draw up Community provisions;
Whereas any national initiative in this area should therefore be postponed for a suitable period;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
The Italian Republic shall, for a period of six months from the notification of this Decision, postpone the adoption of its two draft regulations in respect of labelling rules requiring the inclusion of the words 'packaged under a modified atmosphere'.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 436/2011
of 5 May 2011
amending Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 recognising protected zones exposed to particular plant health risks in the Community
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 2(1)(h) thereof,
Having regard to the requests submitted by the Czech Republic, Greece, France and Italy,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 (2), certain Member States or certain areas in Member States were recognised as protected zones in respect of certain harmful organisms. In some cases recognition was granted for a limited period of time to allow the Member State concerned to provide the full information necessary to show that the harmful organisms in question did not occur in the Member State or area concerned or to complete the efforts to eradicate the organism in question.
(2) The entire territory of Greece was recognised as a protected zone with respect to Dendroctonus micans Kugelan, Gilpinia hercyniae (Hartig), Gonipterus scutellatus Gyll., Ips amitinus Eichhof, Ips cembrae Heer and Ips duplicatus Sahlberg until 31 March 2011.
(3) In 2010 Greece conducted surveys and notified results to the Commission in accordance with the third and fifth subparagraph of Article 2(1)(h) of Directive 2000/29/EC. A visit of Commission experts in Greece from 24 to 31 January 2011 confirmed that that Member State continued to make significant progress with regard to organising and conducting those surveys and with regard to notifying the results thereof. It is, nevertheless, necessary that Greece proves that the progress made is sustainable.
(4) According to the results of the surveys carried out in Greece in 2010, there was only one finding of Ips cembrae Heer, there were no findings of the other five organisms concerned. Taking into account those results and the outcome of the visit of the Commission experts in Greece, it is appropriate to continue to recognise Greece as a protected zone with respect to those organisms for three more years, in order to give Greece the time necessary to collect and submit information confirming that those organisms, with the exception of Ips cembrae Heer, do not occur in its territory and, as regards Ips cembrae Heer, to complete the efforts to eradicate it and collect and submit the information confirming that that organism no more occurs in its territory.
(5) The entire territory of Greece was recognised as a protected zone with respect to citrus tristeza virus (European strains). In its annual report for 2010 on the official survey carried out for the presence of that harmful organism, Greece reported 104 trees tested positive for that harmful organism in the Prefecture of Argolida. Observations made by the Commission experts during their visit in Greece from 24 to 31 January 2011 confirmed that citrus tristeza virus (European strains) was present in that prefecture at least for the last three years in spite of the eradication measures taken by the Greek authorities which have proved to be ineffective. Consequently, citrus tristeza virus (European strains) has to be considered as established in the Prefecture of Argolida. That prefecture should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect of that harmful organism.
(6) The entire territory of Spain was recognised as a protected zone with respect to Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. Spain has submitted information showing that Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. is now established in the autonomous community of Castilla y León. The measures taken for a period of two successive years, 2009 and 2010, with a view to the eradication of that harmful organism have proved to be ineffective. Castilla y León should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect of that harmful organism.
(7) The entire territory of the Czech Republic, certain regions of France (Alsace, Champagne-Ardenne and Lorraine) and one region in Italy (Basilicata) were recognised as protected zones with respect to grapevine flavescence dorée MLO until 31 March 2011. Information supplied by the Czech Republic, France and Italy since that recognition was granted, has provided evidence that that harmful organism does not occur in the protected zones concerned. Therefore the entire territory of the Czech Republic, the regions of Alsace, Champagne-Ardenne and Lorraine in France and the region of Basilicata in Italy should continue to be recognised as protected zones with respect to that organism.
(8) Italy has requested that the region of Sardinia be recognised as a protected zone in respect of the harmful organism grapevine flavescence dorée MLO. On the basis of surveys conducted in 2004-2010, Italy has submitted evidence that the harmful organism concerned does not occur in the region of Sardinia despite favourable conditions for that organism to establish itself there. It is, however, necessary that further surveys be carried out. Those surveys should be monitored by experts under the authority of the Commission. Therefore Sardinia should be recognised as a protected zone in respect of grapevine flavescence dorée MLO for a period of three years only.
(9) Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The current recognition of some of these protected zones expires on 31 March 2011. Therefore, this Regulation should apply from 1 April 2011 so as to allow an uninterrupted recognition of all protected zones.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 690/2008 is amended as follows:
(1) in the second column of points 4, 5 and 7 to 10 of heading (a), after the word ‘Greece’ the words ‘(until 31 March 2011)’ are replaced by ‘(until 31 March 2014)’;
(2) in the second column of point 2 of heading (b), after the word ‘Spain’ the words ‘(except the autonomous community of Castilla y León),’ are added;
(3) heading (d) is amended as follows:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 384/96(1) the Council adopted common rules for protection against dumped imports from countries which are not members of the European Community.
(2) Article 2(7) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 lays down that, in the case of imports from non-market-economy countries and, in particular, those listed in a footnote to that provision, normal value shall, inter alia, be determined on the basis of the price or constructed value in an analogous market-economy third country.
(3) Article 2(7) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 further lays down that, in the case of imports from the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China, normal value may be determined in accordance with the rules applicable to market-economy countries in cases where it can be shown that market conditions prevail for one or more producers subject to investigation in relation to the manufacture and sale of the product concerned.
(4) The process of reform in the Ukraine, Vietnam and Kazakhstan has fundamentally altered the economies of those countries and has led to the emergence of firms for which market-economy conditions prevail. These three countries have as a result moved away from the economic circumstances which inspired the use of the analogue-country method.
(5) It is appropriate to revise the Community's anti-dumping practice in order to be able to take account of the changed economic conditions in the Ukraine, Vietnam and Kazakhstan.
(6) It is also appropriate to grant similar treatment to imports from such countries which are members of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) at the date of the initiation of the relevant anti-dumping investigation,
Article 2(7) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 is amended as follows:
- paragraph (b) is replaced by:
"(b) In anti-dumping investigations concerning imports from the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, the Ukraine, Vietnam and Kazakhstan and any non-market-economy country which is a member of the WTO at the date of the initiation of the investigation, normal value will be determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 6, if it is shown, on the basis of properly substantiated claims by one or more producers subject to the investigation and in accordance with the criteria and procedures set out in subparagraph (c) that market economy conditions prevail for this producer or producers in respect of the manufacture and sale of the like product concerned. When this is not the case, the rules set out under subparagraph (a) shall apply.",
- the footnote is replaced by:
"(*) Including Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, North Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan."
This Regulation applies to all anti-dumping investigations initiated after the date of its entry into force. In the case of imports from non-market-economy countries which become members of the WTO after the entry into force of this Regulation, it applies to all anti-dumping investigations concerning products originating in those countries which are initiated after the date of their accession to the WTO.
This Regulation enters into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

opening, allocating and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products, salted, falling within subheadings ex 03.02 A I b) and ex 03.02 A II a) of the Common Customs Tariff (1987)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community has undertaken to open annual duty- free Community tariff quotas for cod, whole, salted, and fillets of cod, salted, falling within subheadings ex 03.02 A I b) and ex 03.02 A II a) of the Common Customs Tariff, and for 1987 within the limits of 6 000 and 4 000 tonnes respectively; whereas the benefit of the first of these is provided for fish of the 'Gadus morhua' species; whereas, therefore, it is necessary to open on 1 January 1987 the tariff quotas in question and to allocate them among the Member States;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rate of levy for the tariff quota should be applied consistently to all imports until the quota is used up; whereas, in the light of the principles outlined above, a Community tariff arrangement based on an allocation between the Member States would seem to preserve the Community nature of the quota; whereas, to represent as closely as possible the actual development of the market in the product in question, the allocation should follow proportionately the requirements of the Member States calculated both from statistics of imports from third countries during a representative reference period and according to the economic outlook for the tariff year in question;
Whereas, however, the products in question are not as such separately specified in the statistical nomenclatures; whereas it has therefore not yet been possible to obtain sufficiently precise and representative figures; whereas, therefore, figures should be based on statistics of imports from third countries which do not benefit from a tariff preference of cod and cod fillets whatever their species, presentation or method of preservation; whereas, for these products, the percentage shares of the initial participation in the quota volumes can thus be established as follows:
1.2.3 // // // // // ex 03.02 A I b) // ex 03.02 A II a) // // // // Benelux // 1,63 // 0,04 // Denmark // 1,68 // 0,08 // Germany // 2,89 // 0,08 // Greece // 16,71 // 1,02 // France // 29,03 // 4,13 // Ireland // 0,03 // 0,04 // Italy // 46,46 // 95,57 // United Kingdom // 1,57 // 0,04 // // //
Whereas, to take account of the possible import trends for these fish, the quota volumes should be divided into two instalments, the first being allocated between the Member States and the second held as a reserve to cover any subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial share; whereas, to give importers some degree of certainty, the first instalment of the tariff quotas should be fixed at a high level, which in this case, could be approximately 60 % of the amount of the quota volumes;
Whereas initial shares may be used up at different rates; whereas, to avoid disruption of supplies on this account, it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used up its initial share should draw an additional share from the reserve; whereas each time its additional share is almost used up a Member State should draw a further share and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares should be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission and the Commission must be in a position to keep account of the extent to which the quotas have been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas if, at a given date in the quota period, a considerable quantity of a Member State's initial share remains unused it is essential that such State should return a significant proportion thereof to the reserve, in order to prevent a part of the Community tariff quota from remaining unused in one Member State while it could be used in others;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the administration of the shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
1. From 1 January to 31 December 1987 the Common Customs Tariff duty on the following products shall be suspended at the level and within the limit of the Community tariff quotas shown herewith:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CCT heading No // Description // Quota volume in tonnes // Rate of duty in % // // // // // // 09.1807 // ex 03.02 A I b) // Cod of the species Gadus morhua, whole, salted // 6 000 // 0 // 09.1809 // ex 03.02 A II a) // Fillets of cod, salted // 4 000 // 0 // // // // //
2. Imports of the products in question may not be charged against these tariff quotas referred to in paragraph 1 if they are already free of customs duties under other preferential tariff arrangements.
1. The Community tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be divided into two instalments.
2. A first instalment, of 3 500 and 2 450 tonnes respectively, shall be allocated among the Member States; the shares, which, subject to Article 5, shall be valid from 1 January to 31 December 1987, shall be as follows:
(tonnes)
1.2.3 // // // // // ex 03.02 A I b) // ex 03.02 A II a) // // // // Benelux // 57 // 1 // Denmark // 59 // 2 // Germany // 101 // 2 // Greece // 585 // 25 // France // 1 016 // 101 // Ireland // 1 // 1 // Italy // 1 626 // 2 317 // United Kingdom // 55 // 1 // // //
3. The second instalment, of 2 500 and 1 550 tonnes respectively, shall constitute the corresponding reserve.
1. If a Member State has used 90 % or more of its initial share as fixed in Article 2 (2), or of that share minus any portion returned to the reserve pursuant to Article 5, it shall forthwith by notifying the Commission, draw a second share, to the extent that the reserve so permits, equal to 10 % of its initial share, rounded up as necessary to the next whole number.
2. If a Member State, after exhausting its initial share, has used 90 % or more of the second share drawn by it, that Member State shall forthwith, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 5 % of its initial share, rounded up as necessary to the whole number.
3. If a Member State, after exhausting its second share, has used 90 % or more of the third share drawn by it, that Member State shall, in the manner and to the extent provided in paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.
This process shall apply until the reserve is used up.
4. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, 2 and 3, a Member State may draw shares lower than those specified in those paragraphs if there are grounds for believing that those specified may not be used in full. Any Member State applying this paragraph shall inform the Commission of its grounds for so doing.
Additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 31 December 1987.
Member States shall, not later than 1 October 1987, return to the reserve the unused portion of their initial share which, on 15 September 1987, is in excess of 20 % of the initial volume. They may return a greater portion if there are grounds for believing that it may not be used in full. Member States shall, not later than 1 October 1987, notify the Commission of the total quantities of the product in question imported up to and including 15 September 1987 and charged against the Community quota and of any portion of their initial shares returned to the reserve.
The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall, as soon as the information reaches it, inform each State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up.
It shall, not later than 5 October 1987, inform the Member States of the amount still in reserve, following any return of shares pursuant to Article 5.
It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts the reserve does not exceed the balance available, and to this end shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing.
1. The Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that importation may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.
2. The Member States shall ensure that importers of the product in question have free access to the shares allocated to them.
3. The Member States shall charge imports of the product in question against their shares as and when the product is entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its share shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
The Member States shall, not later than the 15th day of the months of April and July, communicate to the Commission statements of charges effected on their shares during the first and second quarters, respectively.
At the request of the Commission, they shall communicate statements of charges for shorter periods and these statements must be forwarded within 10 days from the end of each period.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/676/EEC of 12 December 1991 concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Annex III thereto,
Whereas:
(1) If the amount of manure that a Member State intends to apply per hectare each year is different from those specified in the first sentence of the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Annex III to Directive 91/676/EEC and in point (a) of that subparagraph, that amount is to be fixed so as not to prejudice the achievement of the objectives specified in Article 1 of that Directive and it has to be justified on the basis of objective criteria, such as long growing seasons and crops with high nitrogen uptake.
(2) On 22 October 2007, the Commission adopted Decision 2007/697/EC granting a derogation requested by Ireland pursuant to Council Directive 91/676/EEC concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (2), allowing Ireland the application of 250 kg nitrogen per hectare per year from livestock manure on farms with at least 80 % grassland.
(3) The derogation granted by Decision 2007/697/EC concerned approximately 5 000 farms in Ireland corresponding to approximately 2,7 % of total number of holdings with cattle or sheep, 10 % of total grazing livestock numbers and 4,2 % of the total net agricultural area. Decision 2007/697/EC expires on 17 July 2010.
(4) On 12 May 2010 Ireland submitted to the Commission a request for an extension of the derogation. The request contained a justification on the basis of the objective criteria specified in the third subparagraph of paragraph 2 of Annex III to Directive 91/676/EEC.
(5) Ireland has adopted a new action programme for the period July 2010 to December 2013, which mainly maintains the measures of the action programme for the period until 30 June 2010 and applies to the whole territory of Ireland.
(6) The fourth report on implementation of Directive 91/676/EEC in Ireland for the period 2004-2007 shows in general stable or improving water quality. For groundwater, 2 % of sites showed average nitrate values above 50 mg/l and 74 % of sites values below 25 mg/l. For surface river waters, 97 % of monitoring sites showed average nitrate values below 25 mg/l, and no sites showed average values above 50 mg/l. 93 % of lakes were classified as either oligotrophic or mesotrophic and 7 % of lakes were classified as eutrophic or hypertrophic.
(7) Livestock numbers decreased further during the period 2004-2007, by about 4 % for cattle, 19 % for sheep, 4 % for pigs and 7 % for poultry (3). The annual use of organic nitrogen from livestock manure and of mineral nitrogen decreased by 5 % and 17 % respectively. The total farmed area decreased by 3 % to 4,28 million hectares and grassland still accounts for over 90 % of the agricultural area.
(8) In the light of the scientific information referred to in the request for extension of the derogation and the measures which Ireland has committed itself to in the action programme for the period July 2010 to December 2013, it can be concluded that the conditions for obtaining the derogation as specified in Directive 91/676/EEC, such as long growing seasons and crops with high nitrogen uptake, are still fulfilled, and that the derogation does not prejudice the achievement of the objectives of that Directive.
(9) For the purpose of ensuring that the grassland farms concerned may continue to benefit from a derogation, it is appropriate to extend the period of application of Decision 2007/697/EC to 31 December 2013.
(10) The deadlines for reporting to the Commission set out in Decision 2007/697/EC should however be adapted in order to simplify the administrative burden by allowing Ireland to establish only one deadline for all reporting obligations.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Nitrates Committee set up pursuant to Article 9 of Directive 91/676/EEC,
Decision 2007/697/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:
2. The second subparagraph of Article 8(1) is replaced by the following:
3. Article 11 is replaced by the following:

of 31 January 2014
approving decanoic acid as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 4, 18 and 19
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That list includes decanoic acid.
(2) Decanoic acid has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 4, food and feed area disinfectants, product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, and product-type 19, repellents and attractants, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which correspond respectively to product-types 4, 18 and 19 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(3) Austria was designated as rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority reports, together with recommendations, to the Commission on 7 December 2010 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority reports were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 13 December 2013, in two assessment reports.
(5) It appears from those reports that biocidal products used for product-types 4, 18 and 19 and containing decanoic acid may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to approve decanoic acid for use in biocidal products for product-types 4, 18 and 19.
(7) Since the evaluations did not address nanomaterials, the approvals should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
(8) For the use in product-type 4, the evaluation did not address the incorporation of biocidal products containing decanoic acid in materials and articles intended to come into contact directly or indirectly with food within the meaning of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). Such materials may require the establishment of specific limits on the migration into food, as referred to in Article 5(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. The approval should therefore not cover such use unless the Commission has established such limits or it has been established pursuant to that Regulation that such limits are not necessary.
(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit Member States, interested parties, and the Commission where appropriate, to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Decanoic acid shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 4, 18 and 19, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1), as last amended by European Parliament and Council Directive 96/79/EC (2), and in particular Article 8 (2) (c) thereof,
Whereas the request submitted by Germany on 5 August 1996, which was received by the Commission on 14 August 1996, was accompanied by a report containing the information required by Article 8 (2) (c); whereas the request concerns two types of gas discharge lamp for two types of headlamp for one type of motor vehicle;
Whereas the information provided by Germany shows that the technology and principle embodied in these new types of gas discharge lamp and headlamp do not meet the requirements of Community regulations; whereas, however, the descriptions of the tests, the results thereof and the action taken in order to ensure road safety are satisfactory and ensure a level of safety equivalent to that of the lamps and headlamps covered by the requirements of the Directives in force and, in particular, of Council Directive 76/761/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to motor-vehicle headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam and to incandescent electric filament lamps for such headlamps (3), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/517/EEC (4);
Whereas these new types of gas discharge lamp and these two new types of headlamp meet the requirements of UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Regulations Nos 98 and 99; whereas it is therefore justified to allow the three items covered by the request for exemption, i.e. the types of gas discharge lamp, the two types of headlamp fitted with these types of lamp and the type of motor vehicle, to benefit from the granting of EC type-approval on condition that the type of vehicle concerned is equipped with an automatic headlamp levelling system, a headlamp cleaning device and a system guaranteeing that dipped-beam headlamps are lit even if the main-beam headlamps are lit;
Whereas the Community Directives concerned will be amended in order to enable gas discharge lamps embodying this new technology, headlamps fitted with such lamps and motor vehicles equipped with such headlamps to be placed on the market;
Whereas the measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Adaptation to Technical Progress set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
The request submitted by Germany for an exemption concerning two types of gas discharge lamp for two types of headlamp for one type of motor vehicle is hereby approved on condition that the vehicle type concerned is equipped with an automatic headlamp levelling system, a headlamp cleaning device and a system guaranteeing that dipped-beam headlamps are lit even if the main-beam headlamps are lit.

of 8 September 2005
concerning protection measures in relation to Newcastle disease in Bulgaria
(notified under document number C(2005) 3389)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/648/EC)
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 Article 18 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 22 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 23 August 2005 Bulgaria confirmed an outbreak of Newcastle disease in the administrative district of Vratsa in Bulgaria. Newcastle disease is a highly contagious viral disease in poultry and birds and there is a risk that the disease agent might be introduced via international trade in live poultry and poultry products.
(2) In view of the animal health risk of disease introduction into the Community, it is therefore appropriate to take measures in relation to imports of live poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game birds and hatching eggs of these species from Bulgaria.
(3) Bulgaria has communicated further information on the disease situation and asked for regionalisation to suspend importation into the Community from the administrative district of Vratsa only, since the situation in the rest of the country appears to be satisfactory. The information available at present gives the possibility to reduce the protection measures to a specific region.
(4) Therefore, the importation into the Community from the administrative district of Vratsa in Bulgaria should be suspended for fresh meat of poultry, ratites and wild and farmed feathered game, meat preparations and meat products consisting of, or containing meat of those species, obtained from birds slaughtered after 16 July 2005.
(5) Commission Decision 2005/432/EC (3) lays down the list of third countries from which Member States may authorise the importation of meat products, and establishes treatment regimes in order to prevent the risk of disease transmission via such products. The treatment that must be applied to the product depends on the health status of the country of origin, in relation to the species the meat is obtained from; in order to avoid an unnecessary burden on trade, imports of poultry meat products originating in Bulgaria treated to a temperature of at least 70 °C throughout the product should continue to be authorised.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Member States shall suspend imports from the administrative districts in Bulgaria listed in the Annex to this Decision of live poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game and hatching eggs of these species.
Member States shall suspend imports from the administrative districts in Bulgaria listed in the Annex to this Decision of:
(a) fresh meat of poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game; and
(b) meat preparations and meat products consisting of, or containing meat of, the species referred to in point (a).
1. By way of derogation from Article 2(a) and (b), Member States shall authorise imports of the products covered by that Article which have been obtained from poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game coming from the administrative districts in Bulgaria listed in the Annex to this Decision and which were slaughtered or killed before 16 July 2005.
2. In the veterinary certificates accompanying consignments of the products referred to in paragraph 1, the following words shall be included:
‘Fresh poultry meat/fresh ratite meat/fresh meat of wild feathered game/fresh meat of farmed feathered game/meat product consisting of, or containing meat of poultry, ratites, farmed or wild feathered game meat/meat preparation consisting of, or containing meat of poultry, ratites, farmed or wild feathered game meat (4) in accordance with Article 3(1) of Decision 2005/648/EC.
3. By way of derogation from Article 2(b) of this Decision, Member States shall authorise imports of meat products consisting of, or containing meat of, poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game, when the meat of these species has undergone one of the specific treatments referred to in points B, C or D in Part 4 of Annex II to Decision 2005/432/EC.
The Member States shall amend the measures they apply to trade so as to bring them into compliance with this Decision and they shall give immediate appropriate publicity to the measures adopted. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision shall apply until 23 August 2006.

of 28 April 2010
granting France a partial derogation from Decision 2006/66/EC concerning the technical specification for interoperability relating to the subsystem ‘rolling stock — noise’ of the trans-European conventional rail system and from Decision 2006/861/EC concerning the technical specification of interoperability relating to the subsystem ‘rolling stock — freight wagons’ of the trans-European conventional rail system

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by France on 27 August 2009,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 9(1)(d) of Directive 2008/57/EC, on 27 August 2009 France submitted a request for partial derogation from Commission Decision 2006/66/EC (2) (TSI noise) and from Commission Decision 2006/861/EC (3) (TSI freight wagons), for wagons type NA and AFA of LOHR company.
(2) The request for derogation concerns freight wagons used to transport road trucks over rail which are manufactured according to a design that existed before the entry into force of both TSIs.
(3) In accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), the European Railway Agency provided its technical opinion on the request for partial derogation on 24 November 2009.
(4) The opinion indicates that the provisions of six sections of TSI freight wagons describing draw gear, lifting and jacking, equipment attachment, kinematic gauge, vehicle dynamic behaviour and parking brake (respectively in sections 4.2.2.1.2.2, 4.2.2.3.2.4, 4.2.2.3.2.5, 4.2.3.1, 4.2.3.4 and 4.2.4.1.2.8) cannot be applied to the wagons concerned due to their construction constraints implied by specialised kind of transported commodity. Regarding TSI noise, the wagons in question have to use, in combination with composite brake blocks, also louder cast iron blocks in order to achieve required braking performances. Therefore until more silent technology is in place the limits for pass-by noise (section 4.2.1.1 of the TSI) cannot be met.
(5) The overall economical impact of application of the two TSIs, and more specifically of sections 4.2.3.1 and 4.2.3.4 of TSI freight wagons, to the wagons type NA and AFA of LOHR company is estimated to almost EUR 204 million. This amount together with other requirements that would need to be applied to comply with the TSIs would not only heavily compromise the economical viability of the project but also seriously delay or bring to a halt its implementation.
(6) The derogation is granted for a limited period of time that should be used by France to accelerate the development of innovative solutions promoted by the harmonised specifications and compliant with the TSIs in question.
(7) The provisions of this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 29 of Directive 2008/57/EC,
The partial derogation from TSI noise and TSI freight wagons requested by France on 27 August 2009 for LOHR wagons type NA and AFA in accordance with Article 9(1)(d) of Directive 2008/57/EC is granted with the following limitations:
(a) with regard to provisions of section 4.2.1.1 of the TSI noise, for as long as no technical solution to achieve compliance is available;
(b) with regard to provisions of sections 4.2.2.1.2.2, 4.2.2.3.2.4, 4.2.2.3.2.5 (type NA only), 4.2.3.1, 4.2.3.4, 4.2.4.1.2.8 of the TSI freight wagons, until the revised decision on TSI freight wagons enters into force.
In any case, this partial derogation is no longer valid for wagons of these two types placed into service later than 1 January 2015.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2707/72 (5) lays down the conditions for applying protective measures for fruit and vegetables;
Whereas pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93 (6), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/94 (7), the release for free circulation in the Community of garlic imported from third countries is subject to presentation of an import licence;
Whereas Article 1 (2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1213/94, restricts the issue of import licences for garlic originating in China to a maximum monthly quantity in the case of applications lodged from 25 August 1994 to 24 May 1995;
Whereas, given the criteria laid down in Article 1 (3) of that Regulation and the import licences already issued, the quantity applied for at 25 August 1994 is in excess of the maximum monthly quantity for September 1994; whereas it is therefore necessary to determine to what extent import licences may be issued in response to these applications; whereas the issue of licences in response to these applications; whereas the issue of licences in response to applications lodged after 25 August 1994 and before 26 September 1994 should be refused,
Import licences applied for under Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93 at 25 August 1994 for garlic falling within CN code 0703 20 00 originating in China shall be issued for 1,079 % of the quantity applied for, having regard to the information available to the Commission on 26 August 1994.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Articles 30 and 32 thereof,
After consulting the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, the Commission, on the basis of the annual accounts submitted by the Member States, accompanied by the information required for the clearance of accounts and a certificate regarding the integrality, accuracy and veracity of the accounts and the reports established by the certification bodies, clears the accounts of the paying agencies referred to in Article 6 of the said Regulation.
(2) Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the keeping of accounts by the paying agencies, declarations of expenditure and revenue and the conditions for reimbursing expenditure under the EAGF and the EAFRD (2), account is taken for the 2012 financial year of expenditure incurred by the Member States between 16 October 2011 and 15 October 2012.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 10(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the accreditation of paying agencies and other bodies and the clearance of the accounts of the EAGF and of the EAFRD (3) lays down that the amounts that are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State, in accordance with the accounts clearance decision referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 10(1) of the said Regulation, shall be determined by deducting the monthly payments in respect of the financial year in question, i.e. 2012, from expenditure recognised for that year in accordance with paragraph 1. The Commission shall deduct that amount from or add it to the monthly payment relating to the expenditure effected in the second month following that in which the accounts clearance decision is taken.
(4) The Commission has checked the information submitted by the Member States and it has communicated to the Member States before 31 March 2013 the results of its verifications, along with the necessary amendments.
(5) The annual accounts and the accompanying documents permit the Commission to take, for certain paying agencies, a decision on the completeness, accuracy and veracity of the annual accounts submitted. Annex I lists the amounts cleared by Member State and the amounts to be recovered from or paid to the Member States.
(6) The information submitted by certain other paying agencies requires additional inquiries and their accounts cannot be cleared in this Decision. Annex II lists the paying agencies concerned.
(7) Under Article 9(4) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2006, any overrun of deadlines during August, September and October is to be taken into account in the clearance of accounts decision. Some of the expenditure declared by certain Member States during these months in the year 2012 was effected after the applicable deadlines. This Decision should therefore fix the relevant reductions.
(8) The Commission, in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 and Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2006, has already reduced or suspended a number of monthly payments on entry into the accounts of expenditure for the 2012 financial year. In order to avoid any premature, or temporary, reimbursement of the amounts in question, they should not be recognised in this Decision and they should be further examined under the conformity clearance procedure pursuant to Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005.
(9) Pursuant to Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, 50 % of the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities shall be borne by the Member State concerned if the recovery of those irregularities has not taken place within 4 years of the primary administrative or judicial finding, or within 8 years if the recovery is taken to the national courts. Article 32(3) of the said Regulation obliges Member States to submit to the Commission, together with the annual accounts, a summary report on the recovery procedures undertaken in response to irregularities. Detailed rules on the application of the Member States’ reporting obligation of the amounts to be recovered are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 885/2006. Annex III to the said Regulation provides the table that had to be provided in 2013 by the Member States. On the basis of the tables completed by the Member States, the Commission should decide on the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities older than 4 or 8 years respectively. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005.
(10) Pursuant to Article 32(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, Member States may decide not to pursue recovery. Such a decision may only be taken if the costs already, and likely to be, incurred total more than the amount to be recovered or if the recovery proves impossible owing to the insolvency, recorded and recognised under national law, of the debtor or the persons legally responsible for the irregularity. If that decision has been taken within 4 years of the primary administrative or judicial finding or within 8 years if the recovery is taken to the national courts, 100 % of the financial consequences of the non-recovery should be borne by the EU budget. In the summary report referred to in Article 32(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, the amounts for which the Member State decided not to pursue recovery and the grounds for the decision are shown. These amounts are not charged to the Member States concerned and are consequently borne by the EU budget. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 32(8) of the said Regulation.
(11) In accordance with Article 30(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, this Decision does not prejudice decisions taken subsequently by the Commission excluding from European Union financing expenditure not effected in accordance with European Union rules,
With the exception of the paying agencies referred to in Article 2, the accounts of the paying agencies of the Member States concerning expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) in respect of the 2012 financial year, are hereby cleared.
The amounts which are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State pursuant to this Decision, including those resulting from the application of Article 32(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, are set out in Annex I.
For the 2012 financial year, the accounts of the Member States’ paying agencies in respect of expenditure financed by the EAGF, set out in Annex II, are disjoined from this Decision and shall be the subject of a future clearance of accounts decision.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 73 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 70 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 provides that the products referred to in Article 1 (2) (a) and (b) of that Regulation may only be imported if accompanied by a certificate attesting that they comply with the provisions on production, release for free circulation and, where appropriate, disposal for direct human consumption applying in the third country in which they originate;
Whereas Article 73 (1) of that Regulation stipulates that if the imported products in question have undergone oenological practices not allowed by Community rules or do not comply with the provisions of that Regulation or of those adopted pursuant thereto, they may not, except by way of a derogation, be offered or disposed of for direct human consumption; whereas the Council derogated from this principle by Regulation (EEC) No 1873/84 (2); whereas this derogation expires on 31 December 1997; whereas, so that consultations can continue between the Community and the third country concerned with a view to an agreement on this matter, the term of validity for the derogation should be extended until 31 December 1998,
In the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1873/84, the date '31 December 1997` is hereby replaced by '31 December 1998`.

of 7 July 1987
fixing until the end of the 1987/88 marketing year the minimum purchase price for lemons delivered to the industry and the amount of financial compensation payable after their processing
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 of 17 May 1977 laying down special measures to promote the marketing of lemon products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1353/86 (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, under Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77, the minimum price which processors must pay to the producer is derived from the purchase price for class II plus 5 % of the basic price; whereas, to simplify matters, this calculation should be based on the average basic and purchase prices fixed for the 1987/88 year by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1927/87 (3);
Whereas, under Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77, financial compensation cannot exceed the difference between the minimum purchase price referred to in Article 1 of the said Regulation and the prices obtained for the basic products in producer third countries; whereas, for the purposes of calculating this compensation and with a view to encouraging optimum marketing of lemon products, it would seem advisable to apply the full difference between these prices;
Whereas for the present marketing year the minimum purchase price for lemons and the amount of financial compensation have been fixed until 30 June by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1736/87 (4); whereas the information now available allows these prices to be fixed up to the end of the marketing year of this product;
Whereas Articles 119 (2) and 305 (2) of the Act of Accession provide that, from the first move towards alignment, the minimum prices applicable, as the case may be, in Spain and Portugal are to be aligned on the common minimum price in accordance with the mechanism provided for in Articles 70 and 238 of the said Act and the financial compensation applicable in Spain and Portugal respectively at each move towards alignment is to be that of the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 less the difference between, on the one hand the common minimum price and, on the other, the minimum prices applicable, as the case may be, in Spain and Portugal;
Whereas, because of the late publication of the amounts of the minimum price and financial compensation, the interested parties have been unable to conclude contracts for the first part of the 1987/88 marketing year by the specified time; whereas the dates specified in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1715/86 (6), should therefore be waived;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85, the event creating entitlement in the case of lemons sent for processing in the period from 1 June to 30 November is deemed to occur on 1 June and the conversion rate applying to the minimum price is the representative rate also valid on 1 June;
Whereas the conversion rates to be applied in agriculture in respect of fruit and vegetables have been adjusted with effect from 1 July 1987; whereas for economic reasons, these adjusted rates should be applied for the 1987/88 marketing year; whereas, for this purpose, the date of 1 June referred to above should be carried forward to 1 July;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The minimum price referred to in Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 for the 1987/88 marketing year shall be as follows:
(ECU/100 kg net)
1.2.3 // Spain // Portugal // Other Member States // // // // 12,36 // 12,81 // 19,53 // // //
2. The minimum price shall be in respect of products ex-producer's packaging station.
The amount of the financial compensation referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 for the 1987/88 marketing year shall be as follows:
(ECU/100 kg net)
1.2.3 // // // // Spain // Portugal // Other Member States // // // // 4,51 // 4,96 // 11,68 // // //
1. Notwithstanding Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85, contracts for the first part of the 1987/88 marketing year may be concluded until 31 July 1987.
2. Notwithstanding Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85, supplementary agreements to the contracts referred to in paragraph 1 may be concluded until 30 September 1987.
1. By way of derogation from Article 11 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85, '1 June' is replaced by '1 July' for contracts in respect of the first part of the 1987/88 marketing year that are carried out after 30 June 1987.
2. The competent authorities designated by the Member States shall ensure that the minimum prices set out in contracts concluded before 1 July 1987 and not carried out by 30 June 1987 are adjusted in accordance with paragraph 1.
3. Applications for financial compensation within the meaning of Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85 must, in the case of lemons from the 1987/88 marketing year, distinguish the quantities sent for processing before 1 July 1987 from those sent for processing after that date.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1987.

Whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 lays down that Member States may be authorized to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the standard presentation defined in the same Article where commercial pratice or technical requirements warrant this;
Whereas in the Netherlands the technical requirements relating to the use of the grading method and, consequently, commercial practice, necessitate the removal of the kidneys, the flare fat and the diaphragm (including the thick skirt); whereas this should be taken into account in adjusting to the weight for standard presentation; whereas Commission Decision 87/131/EEC (5) should be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The following Article 1a is hereby inserted in Decision 87/131/EEC:
'Article 1a
Notwithstanding the standard presentation referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, the flare fat, the kidneys and the diaphragm (including the thick skirt) shall be removed from pig carcases before being weighed and graded. In order to establish quotations for pig carcases on a comparable basis, the recorded hot weight shall be increased by 2,22 %.'

(notified under document C(2014) 7236)
(2014/714/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC, 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Where a national standard transposing a harmonised standard, the reference of which has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, covers one or more essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex II to Council Directive 89/686/EEC (2), equipment built in accordance with this standard is presumed to meet the basic health and safety requirements concerned.
(2) Pursuant to Article 6(1) of Directive 89/686/EEC, the Commission lodged a formal objection against the standard EN 1384:1996 ‘Helmets for equestrian activities’, harmonised under the Directive 89/686/EEC. The reference of the standard was first published in the OJ C 180 of 14.6.1997, plus the Amendment A1 published in the OJ C 190 of 10.8.2002. Meanwhile, a new version of the standard, EN 1384:2012, has been published by CEN and listed in the OJ C 395 of 20.12.2012; as from 30 April 2013, the presumption of conformity for the superseded standard EN 1384:1996 has expired.
(3) The new version now is harmonised and confers presumption of conformity; however, the standard has not been substantially changed. As the deficiencies of the standard have not been remedied by the new version, the Commission updated the formal objection against the standard EN 1384:2012.
(4) The formal objection is based on the failure of the standard which does not sufficiently cover the basic health and safety requirements referred to in Article 3 and laid down in Annex II to Directive 89/686/EEC and shows lower safety level compared to other helmet safety standards (such as the Snell standard or PAS 015 for equestrian helmets), in particular regarding shock absorption, penetration of the shell and helmet stability. Having examined standard EN 1384:2012 and after consulting experts, the Commission considers that particularly the following areas need improvement:
— shock absorption: most of comparable standards use more than an anvil and have higher energy levels,
— penetration of the shell: the drop height of the mass is only half of what is required in the Snell standard,
— side stability: there are no requirements for side stability, i.e. to manufacture a helmet strong enough to resist high side forces,
— area of protection: the temple areas need more consideration, and the ability to hear should not be affected,
— field of vision: there are no requirements for the field of vision, to ensure a good visibility during horse riding,
— helmet stability: a stability test as in PAS 015 could be included to ensure that the helmet is not able to move on the head during riding.
(5) Taking into consideration the abovementioned safety aspects to be improved, the standard EN 1384:2012 is not able to provide presumption of conformity with the basic health and safety requirements of the Directive 89/686/EEC. As a consequence, the reference of the standard EN 1384:2012 should be withdrawn from the OJ.
(6) Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 became applicable on 1 January 2013. According to Article 26 of that Regulation Article 6(1) of Directive 89/686/EEC is deleted and references to the deleted provision shall be construed as reference to Article 11 of the Regulation.
(7) The European standardisation organisations, the European stakeholder organisations receiving Union financing and the personal protective equipment working group were consulted.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 22 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012,
The reference of the standard EN 1384:2012 ‘Helmets for equestrian activities’ shall be withdrawn from the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas on 17 December 1976 the Government of Italy notified the Law of the Region of Piedmont of 24 November 1976 laying down provisions implementing Council Directive 72/159/EEC, 72/160/EEC, 72/161/EEC and 75/268/EEC on the reform of agricultural structures;
Whereas under Article 18 (3) of Directive 72/159/EEC, Article 9 (3) of Directive 72/160/EEC, Article 11 (3) of Directive 72/161/EEC and Article 13 of Directive 75/268/EEC the Commission has to decide whether, having regard to the abovementioned Law of the Region of Piedmont, the existing Italian provisions implementing Directives 72/159/EEC, 72/160/EEC, 72/161/EEC and Titles III and IV of Directive 75/268/EEC, which are the subject of Commission Decision 76/480/EEC of 13 April 1976 (5) and 76/964/EEC of 7 December 1976 (6), continue to satisfy the conditions by the Community and whether the said Law satisfies the conditions for financial contribution by the Community to the measures defined in Title II of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas Articles 2 to 21 and 30 to 32 of the said Law are consistent with the conditions and aims of Directive 72/159/EEC and Titles III and IV of Directive 75/268/EEC ; whereas the Commission bases that finding on the fact that the conditions laid down in the second paragraph of Article 6 and the first and second paragraphs of Article 10 apply equally to Community development plans and to development plans implemented by cooperatives and that Article 15 implies that subsidies are not to be granted for the purchase of pigs or of calves intended for slaughter; (1)OJ No L 96, 23.4.1972, p. 1.

Whereas Article 29 of the said Law is consistent with the conditions and aims of Title II of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas Articles 34 to 44 are consistent with the conditions and aims of Directive 72/160/EEC and Articles 47 to 58 are consistent with the conditions and aims of Directive 72/161/EEC;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structures,
The existing Italian provisions implementing Directives 72/159/EEC, 72/160/EEC, 72/161/EEC and Titles III and IV of Directive 75/268/EEC, having regard to the Law of the Region of Piedmont notified on 17 December 1976, continue to satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community to the common measures referred to in Article 15 of Directive 72/159/EEC, Article 6 of Directive 72/160/EEC, Article 8 of Directive 72/161/EEC and Article 13 of Directive 75/268/EEC.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 359/67/EEC 1 of 28 July 1967 on the common organisation of the market in rice, and in particular Article 17 (6) thereof;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 17 (4) of Regulation No 359/67/EEC, the refund applicable on the day on which the application for an export licence is made may be applied to an export made during the period of validity of the licence and whereas, in that case, a corrective amount is applied to the refund ; whereas, in accordance with Article 1 of Commission Regulation No 474/67/EEC 2 of 21 August 1967 on the advance fixing of the export refund on rice and broken rice, the corrective amount is equal to the difference between the c.i.f. price and c.i.f. forward delivery price;
Whereas, while export licences for rice and broken rice are valid until the end of the fifth month following that of issue, a truly representative market seldom exists for such products other than on the shortest term or terms ; whereas it should therefore be possible to fix a corrective amount lower than the difference referred to above;
Whereas it is consequently necessary to amend Regulation No 474/67/EEC;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals;
The following shall be substituted for the first two subparagraphs of Article 1 of Regulation No 474/67/EEC:
"Where the export refund on rice and broken rice referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 17 (4) of Regulation No 359/67/EEC is fixed in advance, the refund shall be that which is applicable to an export on the day on which the licence is applied for; - reduced by not more than the difference between the c.i.f. forward delivery price and the c.i.f. price when the former exceeds the latter by more than 0 7025 units of account per 100 kilogrammes;
- increased by not more than the difference between the c.i.f. price and the c.i.f. forward delivery price when the former exceeds the latter by more than 0 7025 units of account per 100 kilogrammes
In the intervals between weekly fixings the amount of the refund applicable in the case of advance fixing shall be adjusted only when application of the above-mentioned provision would lead to its amount being altered by more than 0 7025 units of account per 100 kilogrammes."

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC.
(2) For a number of substance/product-type combinations included in that list, either all participants have discontinued their participation in the review programme, or no complete dossier was received within the time period specified in Article 9 and Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 by the Member State designated as Rapporteur for the evaluation.
(3) Consequently, and pursuant to Articles 11(2), 12(1) and 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the Commission informed the Member States accordingly. That information was also made public by electronic means.
(4) Within the period of three months from those publications, a number of companies indicated an interest in taking over the role of participant for certain of the substances and product-types concerned. However, those companies subsequently failed to submit a complete dossier.
(5) Pursuant to Article 12(4) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the substances and product-types concerned should therefore not be included in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC.
(6) In the interest of legal certainty, it is appropriate to specify the date after which biocidal products of the product-types listed in the Annex to this Decision containing the active substances listed in that Annex should no longer be placed on the market.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
The substances indicated in the Annex to this Decision shall not be included for the product-types concerned in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 199/2006
of 3 February 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs as regards dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 315/93 of 8 February 1993 laying down Community procedures for contaminants in food (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 (2) sets maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs.
(2) ‘Dioxins’ as referred to in this Regulation cover a group of 75 polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) congeners and 135 polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) congeners, of which 17 are of toxicological concern. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of 209 different congeners which can be divided into two groups according to their toxicological properties: a small number exhibit toxicological properties similar to dioxins and are therefore often termed ‘dioxin-like PCBs’. The majority do not exhibit dioxin-like toxicity but have a different toxicological profile.
(3) Each congener of dioxins or dioxin-like PCBs exhibits a different level of toxicity. In order to be able to sum up the toxicity of these different congeners, the concept of toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) has been introduced to facilitate risk assessment and regulatory control. This means that the analytical results relating to all the individual dioxin and dioxin-like PCB congeners of toxicological concern are expressed in terms of a quantifiable unit, namely the ‘TCDD toxic equivalent’ (TEQ).
(4) On 30 May 2001 the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) adopted an Opinion on the Risk Assessment of Dioxins and Dioxin-like PCBs in Food, updating its Opinion of 22 November 2000 on this subject on the basis of new scientific information that had become available since the latter’s adoption (3). The SCF fixed a tolerable weekly intake (TWI) of 14 pg WHO-TEQ/kg body weight for dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs. Exposure estimates indicate that a considerable proportion of the Community population have a dietary intake in excess of the TWI. Certain population groups in some countries could be at higher risk owing to particular dietary habits.
(5) From a toxicological point of view, any level set should apply to both dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs, but in 2001 maximum levels were set for dioxins only and not for dioxin-like PCBs, given the very limited data available at that time on the prevalence of dioxin-like PCBs. In the meantime, however, more data on the presence of dioxin-like PCBs have become available.
(6) According to Regulation (EC) No 466/2001, the Commission was to review the provisions on dioxins in the light of new data on the presence of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs, in particular with a view to the inclusion of dioxin-like PCBs in the levels to be set.
(7) All operators in the food and feed chain must continue to make all possible efforts and to do all that is necessary to limit the dioxins and PCBs present in feed and food. Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 accordingly provides that the maximum levels applicable should be further reviewed by 31 December 2006 at the latest with the aim of significantly reducing the maximum levels and possibly laying down maximum levels for other foodstuffs. Given the time necessary to obtain sufficient monitoring data to determine such significantly lower levels, that time-limit should be extended.
(8) It is proposed to set maximum levels for the sum of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs expressed in World Health Organisation (WHO) toxic equivalents, using the WHO-TEFs as this is the most appropriate approach from a toxicological point of view. In order to ensure a smooth transition, for a transitional period the existing levels for dioxins should continue to apply in addition to the newly set levels for the sum of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs. The foodstuffs indicated in section 5 of Annex I must comply during that period with the maximum levels for dioxins and with the maximum levels for the sum of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs. Consideration will be given by 31 December 2008 to dispensing with the separate maximum level for dioxins.
(9) It is of major importance that analytical results are reported and interpreted in a uniform way in order to ensure a harmonised enforcement approach throughout the Community. Commission Directive 2002/69/EC of 26 July 2002 laying down the sampling methods and the methods of analysis for the official control of dioxins and the determination of dioxin-like PCBs in foodstuffs (4) provides that a lot shall be considered as non-compliant with the established maximum level if the analytical result confirmed by duplicate analysis and calculated as the mean of at least two separate determinations exceeds the maximum level beyond reasonable doubt taking into account the measurement uncertainty. There are different possibilities to estimate the expanded uncertainty (5).
(10) In order to encourage a proactive approach to reducing the dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs present in food and feed, action levels were set by Commission Recommendation 2002/201/EC of 4 March 2002 on the reduction of the presence of dioxins, furans and PCBs in feedingstuffs and foodstuffs (6). These action levels are a tool for competent authorities and operators to highlight those cases where it is appropriate to identify a source of contamination and to take measures to reduce or eliminate it. Since the sources of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs are different, separate action levels should be determined for dioxins on the one hand and for dioxin-like PCBs on the other hand. Recommendation 2002/201/EC will therefore be amended accordingly.
(11) Derogations have been granted to Finland and Sweden to place on the market fish originating in the Baltic region and intended for consumption in the territory with dioxin levels higher than those set in point 5.2 of section 5 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 466/2001. Those Member States have fulfilled the conditions as regards the provision of information to consumers on dietary recommendations. Every year they have communicated the results of their monitoring of the levels of dioxins in fish from the Baltic region to the Commission and have reported on the measures to reduce human exposure to dioxins from the Baltic region.
(12) On the basis of the results of monitoring of levels of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs carried out by Finland and Sweden, the transitional period during which the derogations granted to those Member States apply should be extended, but those derogations should be limited to certain fish species. Those derogations apply to the maximum levels for dioxins and to the maximum levels for the sum of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs set in point 5.2 of section 5 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 466/2001.
(13) The reduction of human exposure to dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs through food consumption is important and necessary to ensure consumer protection. As food contamination is directly related to feed contamination, an integrated approach must be adopted to reduce dioxin and dioxin-like PCB incidence throughout the food chain, i.e. from feed materials through food-producing animals to humans. A proactive approach is followed to actively reduce the dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in feed and food and consequently the maximum levels applicable should be reviewed within a defined period of time with the objective to set lower levels. Therefore consideration will be given by 31 December 2008 at the latest to significantly reducing the maximum levels for the sum of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs.
(14) Operators need to make efforts to step up their capacity effectively to remove dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs from marine oil. The significant lower level to which consideration shall be given by 31 December 2008, shall be based on the technical possibilities of the most effective decontamination procedure.
(15) As regards the establishment of maximum levels for other foodstuffs by 31 December 2008, particular attention shall be paid to the need to set specific lower maximum levels for dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in foods for infants and young children in the light of the monitoring data obtained through the 2005, 2006 and 2007 programmes for monitoring dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in foods for infants and young children.
(16) Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(17) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 is amended as follows:
1. Article 1 is amended as follows:
(a) Paragraph 1a is replaced by the following:
(b) Paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
2. Article 4a is replaced by the following:
(a) to mix products complying with the maximum levels with products exceeding those maximum levels;
(b) to use products not complying with the maximum levels as ingredients in the manufacture of other foodstuffs.’
3. Article 5, paragraph 3 is deleted.
4. Annex I is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 4 November 2006.
As regards the maximum levels for the sum of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs, this Regulation shall not apply to products that were placed on the market before 4 November 2006 in accordance with the provisions applicable. The burden of proving when the products were placed on the market shall be borne by the food business operator.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), and in particular Articles 9(2) and 10(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 64/432/EEC lays down rules applicable to trade in the Union in bovine animals and swine. Article 9 of that Directive lays down criteria for the approval of compulsory national control programmes for certain contagious diseases, including Aujeszky’s disease. In addition, Article 10 of that Directive provides that where a Member State considers its territory or part thereof to be free of such diseases, including Aujeszky’s disease, it is to present appropriate supporting documentation to the Commission.
(2) Commission Decision 2008/185/EC of 21 February 2008 on additional guarantees in intra-Community trade of pigs relating to Aujeszky’s disease and criteria to provide information on this disease (2) lays down the additional guarantees for movements of pigs between Member States. Those guarantees are linked to the classification of Member States according to their Aujeszky’s disease status.
(3) Annex I to Decision 2008/185/EC lists Member States or regions thereof which are free of Aujeszky’s disease and where vaccination is prohibited. Annex II to that Decision lists Member States or regions thereof where approved national control programmes for the eradication of Aujeszky’s disease are in place.

of 17 January 2005
on import licences in respect of beef and veal products originating in Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 of 10 December 2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1706/98 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003 of 19 December 2003 laying down detailed rules for the application in the beef and veal sector of Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) (3), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003 provides for the possibility of issuing import licences for beef and veal products originating in Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia. However, imports must take place within the limits of the quantities specified for each of these exporting non-member countries.

It is therefore possible to issue import licences in respect of the quantities applied for.
(3) The quantities in respect of which licences may be applied for from 1 February 2005 should be fixed within the scope of the total quantity of 52 100 t.
(4) This Regulation is without prejudice to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (4),

Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Council Decision 2014/186/EU (1), the Arrangement between the European Union and the Principality of Liechtenstein on the modalities of its participation in the European Asylum Support Office (the ‘Arrangement’) was signed on 3 March 2014, subject to its conclusion.

(3) As specified in recital 21 of Regulation (EU) No 439/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), the United Kingdom and Ireland are taking part in and are bound by that Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 130s thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the first two action programmes of the European Communities on the environment (4) emphasize the importance for the Community of dealing with pollution of the seas in general and make provision inter alia for Community measures to deal with pollution caused by transport and shipping; whereas they specify that the task of protecting sea water constitutes a matter of priority with a view to maintaining vital ecological balances;
Whereas the third action programme of the European Communities on the environment (5) emphasizes that, in the event of an accident, the authorities in the Member States concerned must be able to intervene quickly, in a coordinated manner and with sufficient means;
Whereas the fourth environmental action programme of the European Communities (6) confirms that the control of pollution from oil spills remains a valid priority and, indeed, that the priority attributed to marine pollution is increasing; whereas it recognizes that considerable attention must be paid to other dangerous substances transported by sea, as well as to oil;
Whereas the fifth environmental action programme of the European Communities (7), on the one hand, refers to the need to improve the general state of preparation and capacity for intervention in the event of natural and technological disasters and, on the other, stresses the need to improve the means of intervention in view of the increased risks inherent in particular in dangerous transport operations, which in concrete terms involves improving and further upgrading mutual assistance procedures;
Whereas the Commission has participated, on behalf of the Community, in the negotiations to prepare an international cooperation agreement for the protection of the coasts and waters of the north-east Atlantic against pollution;
Whereas, as a result of those negotiations, the Cooperation Agreement for the protection of the coasts and waters of the north-east Atlantic against pollution was adopted on 17 October 1990 in Lisbon, and signed on behalf of the Community;
Whereas that Agreement fills a gap, as far as the northeast Atlantic is concerned, in international action relating to accidental marine pollution, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea being already covered by multilateral agreements for cooperation in case of accidental marine pollution;
Whereas it is desirable for the Community to approve that Agreement in order to play its part in achieving its objectives alongside Member States, especially in consideration of Council Decision 86/85/EEC of 6 March 1986 establishing a Community information system for the control and reduction of pollution caused by the spillage of hydrocarbons and other harmful substances at sea or in major inland waters (8),
The Cooperation Agreement for the protection of the coasts and waters of the north-east Atlantic against pollution, as adopted in Lisbon on 17 October 1990, is hereby approved on behalf of the European Economic Community.
The text of the Agreement is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council shall, on behalf of the European Economic Community, deposit the instrument of approval with the Government of Portugal as provided for in Article 24 (2) of the Agreement. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1176/2002(2), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1886/2002(3) fixes the indicative quantities for system B export licences other than those sought in the context of food aid.
(2) In the light of the information available to the Commission today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities laid down for the current export period for lemons will shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit and vegetables sector.
(3) To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences for lemons after 13 December 2002 should be rejected until the end of the current export period,
Applications for system B export licences for lemons submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1886/2002, export declarations for which are accepted after 13 December 2002 and before 15 January 2003, are hereby rejected.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 14 December 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
