amending Regulation (EEC) No 1729/78 laying down detailed rules of application in respect of the production refund for sugar used in the chemical industry
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1069/89 (2), and in particular Article 9 (6) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1010/86 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1771/90 (4), provides that from the 1990/91 marketing year, production refunds granted for products in the sugar sector used in the chemical industry are to be established exclusively by reference to the price for sugar on the world market; whereas the detailed rules of application laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1729/78 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 748/89 (6), must be adapted accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,

COMMISSION DECISION
of 25 July 2006
amending Decisions 2005/759/EC and 2005/760/EC as regards certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza and movements of certain live birds into the Community
(notified under document number C(2006) 3303)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/522/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (2), and in particular Article 18(7) 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 (3), and in particular Article 22(6) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC (4), and in particular Article 18 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following the outbreak of avian influenza in south-eastern Asia in 2004, caused by a highly pathogenic strain of the virus, the Commission adopted several protection measures in relation to that disease. Those measures included in particular Commission Decision 2005/759/EC of 27 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain third countries and the movement from third countries of birds accompanying their owners (5) and Commission Decision 2005/760/EC of 27 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain third countries for the import of captive birds (6).
(2) Article 3 of Decision 2005/759/EC provides that, that Decision does not apply to the movement into the Community of live pet birds accompanying their owners from the third countries referred to in that Article. Croatia is presently not referred to in Article 3 of Decision 2005/759/EC and accordingly imports of pet birds accompanying their owners from that third country need to comply with the same import restrictions as those laid down in that Decision for other third countries. Croatia was one of the first countries in Europe to notify the Commission of cases of avian influenza found in wild birds and has been transparent in the way it handled further cases of that disease. No new cases of avian influenza has been detected lately in Croatia.
(3) In addition, Croatia has notified the Commission that the competent authorities of that country are now applying protection measures that are equivalent to those applied by the competent authorities of the Member States, as provided in Commission Decision 2006/115/EC of 17 February 2006 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in wild birds in the Community and repealing Decisions 2006/86/EC, 2006/90/EC, 2006/91/EC, 2006/94/EC, 2006/104/EC and 2006/105/EC (7).
(4) As the risk for animal health in the Community posed by imports of pet birds from Croatia are therefore minimal, Croatia should be added to the list of third countries referred to in Article 3 of Decision 2005/759/EC.
(5) Decision 2005/759/EC currently is to apply until 31 July 2006. Since new cases of avian influenza have been reported in certain member countries of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the restrictions concerning the movements of pet birds accompanying their owners should be continued. It is therefore appropriate to extend the application of Decision 2005/759/EC until 31 December 2006.
(6) The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Panel on animal health and welfare (AHAW) will adopt a scientific opinion on the animal health and welfare risks associated with the import of wild birds other than poultry into the Community in October 2006. EFSA has been specifically asked to identify in its opinion possible tools and options which could reduce any identified risk related to the import of birds other than poultry. This opinion will guide the future policy of the EU on the animal health and welfare aspects of these imports.
(7) Decision 2005/760/EC is to apply until 31 July 2006. At this moment, a substantial amendment to the current rules laid down in the two Decisions 2005/759/EC and 2005/760/EC would mislead the operators and other stakeholders on the possible future development of the EU policy on this matter. In light of the current animal health situation regarding avian influenza and pending the intended adoption of the EFSA opinion in October, the restrictions relating to the imports of birds other than poultry should be continued. It is therefore appropriate to amend the date of application of that Decision until 31 December 2006.
(8) Decisions 2005/759/EC and 2005/760/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2005/759/EC is amended as follows:
1. Article 3 is replaced by the following:
2. In Article 5 the date ‘31 July 2006’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2006’.
In Article 6 of Decision 2005/760/EC the date ‘31 July 2006’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2006’.
The Member States shall immediately take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision and publish those measures. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.

Whereas an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease has occurred in Italy; whereas this outbreak is such as to constitute a danger to the livestock of the other Member States owing to the important volume of trade both in animals and fresh meat and in certain meat-based products;
Whereas following this outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, on 14 December 1984 the Commission adopted Decision 85/40/EEC on certain protective measures against foot-and-mouth disease in Italy ( (7);
Whereas the persistence of the disease and the fact that it is spreading to other parts of the territory require that restrictive measures in intra-Community trade be extended and intensified;
Whereas certain Member States have taken protective measures in this connection;
Whereas all Member States should therefore adopt measures designed to protect them for the time necessary to eradicate the disease;
Whereas the measures to be implemented must be devised in a manner which takes account firstly of the special situation of certain Member States in regard to foot-and-mouth disease and the methods used to combat the disease and secondly the health policy measures applied by the Italian authorities, more particularly the slaughtering policy applied in the various provinces;
Whereas the meats obtained from animals slaughtered before 1 November 1984 are not likely to cause spreading of the disease;
Whereas the vehicles which are or have been used to transport live animals may constitute an important vector for the disease;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

authorizing certain Member States to provide for derogations from certain provisions of Council Directive 77/93/EEC in respect of sawn wood of conifers originating in Canada
(Only the Spanish, German, Greek, English, French, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese texts are authentic)
(90/505/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 90/490/EEC (2), and in particular Article 14 (3), second and third indents, thereof,
Having regard to the requests made by Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom,
Whereas under the provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC, because of the risk of introducing harmful organisms, wood of conifers which meets the descriptions in CN code ex 4407 10, originating in Canada, China, Japan, Korea or the USA may not be introduced into the Community, unless it is properly kiln-dried and identified as such;
Whereas, however, Article 14 (3), second indent, of Directive 77/93/EEC permits derogations from that rule, provided that it is established that there is no risk of spreading harmful organisms;
Whereas, moreover, Article 14 (3), third indent, of the abovementioned Directive permits derogations from the rule requiring a phytosanitary certificate, if equivalent safeguards are given and provided that it is established that there is no risk of spreading harmful organisms;
Whereas wood of conifers originating in Canada is currently introduced into the Community; whereas in the case of sawn wood, phytosanitary certificates are not generally issued in that country; whereas it appears that kiln-drying capacity is at present limited in Canada;
Whereas, in respect of Canada, the Commission has established, on the basis of the information available at present, that an officially approved and monitored programme of issuing 'certificates of debarking and grub hole control' has been set up to ensure proper debarking and to reduce the risk from harmful organisms; whereas the risk of spreading harmful organisms is reduced provided that the wood is accompanied by a 'Certificate of Debarking and Grub Hole Control' issued under that programme;
Whereas the Commission will ensure that Canada makes available all technical information necessary to assess the functioning of the Debarking and Grub Hole Control Certificate Programme;
Whereas the Member States should therefore be authorized to provide for derogations under Article 14 (3), second and third indents, of Directive 77/93/EEC in respect of sawn wood of conifers originating in Canada for a limited period;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
1. Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom are hereby authorized to provide under the conditions laid down in paragraph 2 for derogations from Article 5 (1) and the third indent of Article 12 (1) (a) of Directive 77/93/EEC, with regard to the requirements referred to in Annex IV, Part A, 1 (1) and also from Articles 7 (2) and 12 (1) (b) of that Directive, for wood of Coniferae (CN code ex 4407 10) originating in Canada other than wood which has been kiln-dried to below 20 % moisture content, expressed as a percentage of dry matter at time of manufacture, achieved through an appropriate time/temperature schedule, and is so identified.
2. For the purpose of paragraph 1, the following conditions shall be satisfied:
(a) The wood shall be totally stripped of its bark by means of debarking, edging, grading and board selection and shall be free of grub holes. Bark is considered to be the external part of wood capable of sustaining live bark-inhabiting insects or other harmful organisms at any stage of development, but does not extend to:
- inner bark (bast),
- ingrown bark, in particular around knots,
- bark or pitch pockets as defined in the National Lumber Grades Authority rules.
Gruh holes are understood to mean insect bore holes caused by word borers of the genus Monochamus, and defined for this purpose as those which are larger than 3 mm across.
(b) Satisfaction of the conditions laid down under (a) shall have been checked by graders who are trained, qualified and authorized for that purpose under a programme approved by Agriculture Canada, Plant Protection Division.
(c) Checks on compliance with the conditions laid down under (a) shall have been undertaken at mills by industry inspectors or their agents and at ports by shipper's inspectors, both qualilfied and authorized for that purpose by Agriculture Canada, Plan Protection Division. In addition, the checking system shall provide for inspectors of Agriculture Canada, Plant Protection Division, undertaking occasional pre-shipment inspections.
(d) The wood shall be accompanied by a 'Certificate of Debarking and Grub Hole Control' which is standardized under the programme mentioned under (b), and complies with the specimen given in the Annex to this Decision, and which is issued by an authorized person on behalf of mills or shippers authorized to participate in that programme by Agriculture Canada, Plant Protection Division, and is filled in in accordance with the instructions set up under that programme, as printed on the reverse side of the specimen.
If the 'Certificate of Debarking and Grub Hole Control' has been issued on behalf of a shipper, it shall be based on 'Certificates of Debarking and Grub Hole Control' supplied to him by the approved mills, and/or as a result of inspections carried out under his responsibility.
Without prejudice to Article 14 (5) of Directive 77/93/EEC, the Member States listed in Article 1 (1) shall notify the Commission and the other Memberr States of all cases of consignments introduced pursuant to this Decision which do not comply with the conditions laid down under Article 1 (2) (a) and (d), as soon as a third such consignment has been intercepted.
The authorization granted in Article 1 shall expire on 31 December 1991. It shall be revoked earlier if it is established that the conditions laid down under Article 1 (2) are not sufficient to prevent the introduction of harmful organisms or have not been complied with.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, Germany, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, the Italian Republic, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of Netherlands, the Republic of Portugal and the United Kingdom. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2729/81 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 252/91 (4), lays down that the refund for butter with a fat content, by weight, of 82 % or more but less than 85 % that is intended for the Soviet Union is to be fixed in advance; whereas the purpose of this provision cannot be achieved unless, at the same time, the export licence requires that the goods be exported to the destination given;

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 Commission Directive 93/81/EEC (2),
Whereas on 30 August 1994 the United Kingdom authorities lodged a request for approval, by the Commission, of an exemption pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of Directive 70/156/EEC; whereas this request was accompanied by a report containing the information required by the abovementioned Article 8; whereas this request concerns the fitting of outside rear-view mirrors to a particular type of vehicle, namely a motor vehicle with a reclined fixed-back driver's seat located at the centre of the vehicle;
Whereas the reasons stated, whereby the fitting of an outside rear-view mirror to this particular type of vehicle does not meet the requirements of Commission Directive 88/321/EEC (3), particularly with regard to the driver's field of vision, are justified; whereas 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 provided by the Directive in force;
Whereas the Directive concerned will be amended in order, inter alia, to enable outside rear-view mirrors to be fitted correctly to vehicles with the driver's seat located in a central position; whereas, this being the case, it is therefore justified to allow the type of vehicle covered by this request for an exemption to benefit immediately from the granting of EC type-approval;
Whereas the measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the adaptation to technical progress of the Directives for the removal of technical barriers to trade in the motor vehicles sector, as set up by Council Directive 70/156/EEC,
The Commission hereby approves the request lodged by the United Kingdom on 30 August 1994, pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of Directive 70/156/EEC, for an exemption concerning the fitting of outside rear-view mirrors to a type of vehicle with a reclined fixed-back driver's seat located at the centre of the vehicle with a view to granting EC type-approval.

(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation. The Stability and Growth Pact includes Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1) which was adopted to further the prompt correction of excessive general government deficits.
(3) By Council Decision 2005/185/EC (2), it was decided, following a recommendation from the Commission in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty, that an excessive deficit existed in the Czech Republic.
(4) On 5 July 2004, in accordance with Article 104(7) of the Treaty and Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, the Council, based on a recommendation from the Commission, adopted a recommendation to the Czech authorities with a view to bringing the excessive deficit situation to an end as rapidly as possible and to taking action in a medium-term framework to achieve the objective of bringing the deficit below 3 % of GDP by 2008 in a credible and sustainable manner, in accordance with the path for deficit reduction specified in the convergence programme submitted by the authorities in May 2004 and endorsed in the Council Opinion of 5 July 2004 on the Convergence Programme of the Czech Republic, 2004-2007 (3), with the following intermediate annual targets: 5,3 % of GDP in 2004, 4,7 % of GDP in 2005, 3,8 % of GDP in 2006, 3,3 % of GDP in 2007. The Council established the deadline of 5 November 2004 to take effective action ‘regarding the measures envisaged to achieve the 2005 deficit target’. The Czech Republic agreed to make the recommendation public.
(5) After the expiry of the deadline of 5 November 2004, the Commission concluded, in its Communication to the Council of 14 December 2004 (4), that no further steps were necessary under the excessive deficit procedure for the Czech Republic as the Czech government had taken effective action regarding the measures envisaged to achieve the 2005 deficit target. The November 2005 update of the convergence programme indicated a deficit of 2,7 % of GDP for 2008 which was endorsed by the Council on 24 January 2006.
(6) The assessment of the action taken by the Czech Republic to correct the excessive deficit by 2008 in response to the Council recommendation under Article 104(7) leads to the following conclusions:
— on 15 March 2007, the Czech Republic submitted the most recent update of the convergence programme, covering the period until 2009. The programme contained the following annual deficit projections: 4,0 % of GDP for 2007, 3,5 % of GDP for 2008 and 3,2 % of GDP for 2009. The programme also included an additional ‘declaration of the new government’ aiming to reduce the general deficit to 3,2 % of GDP in 2008 and 2,8 % of GDP in 2009 based on a wide range of as yet unknown policy measures,
— the Commission services’ spring 2007 forecast, which projects that the deficit will reach 3,9 % of GDP and 3,6 % of GDP in 2007 and 2008 respectively on a no-policy change basis, confirms that, on current policies, the targets set in the Council recommendation under Article 104(7) for 2007 (3,3 % of GDP) and 2008 (below 3 % of GDP) will be missed. In structural terms (i.e. in cyclically-adjusted terms net of one-off and other temporary measures), the deficit would widen by 1 percentage points of GDP in 2007, after deteriorations in both 2005 and 2006,
— the higher 2007 deficit comes against much stronger growth than forecast at the time of the Council recommendation and is mainly due to increases in social spending decided before the 2006 parliamentary elections. The higher 2007 deficit is projected to occur against the background of much lower deficits in the preceding years than foreseen in the Council recommendation. This was due mainly to better than expected growth rather than durable cuts in expenditure.
(7) This leads to the conclusion that, while the Czech Republic has so far overachieved the budgetary targets for 2004-2006 of the consolidation path set in the Council recommendation of 5 July 2004, the 2007 deficit will be well above the target set by the Council and the 2008 deficit will on current policies clearly exceed the 3 % of GDP threshold. The Czech authorities’ budgetary targets are not in line with the recommendations of the Council for a correction of the excessive deficit by the 2008 deadline. No unexpected adverse economic events with major unfavourable consequences for government finances as meant in Article 3(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 have occurred since the adoption of the recommendation. On the contrary, developments in the economy relevant for public finances have been significantly more favourable than expected,
The action taken by the Czech Republic in response to the Council Recommendation of 5 July 2004 under Article 104(7) of the Treaty is proving to be inadequate to correct the excessive deficit within the deadline fixed by the Recommendation.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 of 19 April 2000 establishing procedures for the taking-over of cereals by intervention agencies and laying down methods of analysis for determining the quality of cereals(3) sets the maximum moisture content of cereals at 14,5 % and lays down reductions in the intervention price for cereals with a moisture content of more than 14 %.
(2) The 2000 harvest of some cereals was carried out in certain regions in unusual weather conditions, resulting in an above-normal moisture content, exceeding the maximum level laid down for intervention.
(3) The situation described above is likely disproportionately to reduce market prices and the Member States concerned should therefore be permitted to derogate from the moisture-content requirement for common wheat, barley and rye and extend the list of price reductions.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. Notwithstanding Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 824/2000, Member States are authorised to set the maximum moisture content for common wheat, barley and rye offered for intervention during the 2000/01 marketing year at 15 %. In that case, the price reductions given in the Annex hereto shall apply.
2. Member States deciding to apply the derogation provided for in paragraph 1 shall notify the Commission thereof before 1 November 2000.

Whereas the Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Malta (1) provides, in an Exchange of Letters annexed to the said Protocol, that beer made from malt falling within CN code 2203 00, originating in Malta, may be imported into the Community free of duty within the limits of an annual Community tariff quota of 5 000 hectolitres; whereas the tariff quota in question should therefore be opened for the period from 1 April to 31 December 1989 amounting, by virtue of the pro rata temporis clause included in the said Protocol, to 3 750 hectolitres, for the period in question; whereas in the context of the said quota, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic will apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the said Protocol to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Economic Community and Malta consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community (2);
Wheres equal and continuous access to the quota should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates laid down for the quota should be applied consistently to all imports of the product in question into all the Member States until the quota is exhausted; whereas it is appropriate not to provide for allocation among Member States, without prejudice to the drawing, on the tariff quota, of such quantities as they may need, under conditions and according to a procedure to be determined; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the tariff quota is used and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the quota shares levied by that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,
From 1 April to 31 December 1989, the customs duty applicable to imports into the Community of beer made from malt originating in Malta shall be suspended at the levels indicated below and within the limits of Community tariff quotas as shown below:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CN code // Description // Amount of quota (hl) // Quota duty (%) // // // // // // // // // // // 09.1451 // 2203 00 // Beer made from malt // 3 750 // Exemption 1989, p. 11.
Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Protocol to the Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and Malta consequent on the accession of Spain and Portugal.
The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission, which may take any appropriate measure with a view to ensuring the efficient administration thereof.
If an importer presents, in a Member State, a declaration of entry into free circulation including a request for preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation, and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall draw, from the tariff quota, by means of notification to the Commission, a quantity corresponding to these needs.
The requests for drawing, with the indication of the date of acceptance of the said declaration, must be communicated to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the tariff quota.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the tariff quota, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission of the drawings made.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that their drawings pursuant to Article 3 enable imports to be charged without interruption against their shares of the Community quota.
2. Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the product concerned have free access to the quota for such times as the balance of the tariff quota so permits.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the said product against their drawings as and when such product is entered with the customs authorities under cover of declarations of entry into free circulation.
4. The extent to which the quota has been used up shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 April 1989.

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, in accordance with the Agreement with Austria regarding reciprocal creation of tariff quotas for certain quality wines, the Community is committed to suspending in full the customs duties applicable to quality wines and sparkling wines, originating in Austria, which conform to the wine and viticulture law of 1985 of the Republic of Austria, presented in containers not exceeding two litres, within the limits of annual tariff quotas of 85 000 and 2 000 hectolitres respectively; whereas this Agreement also provides that the quota period is from 1 July of each year to 30 June of the next year and whereas the duties applicable in Spain and Portugal are equal to those applied by Member States with respect to the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985; whereas it is necessary therefore to open for the period 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1991 the Community tariff quotas in question at the amounts provided for in the Agreement;
Whereas it is in particular necessary to allow all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up; whereas it is appropriate to take the necessary measures to ensure efficient Community administration of these tariff quotas while offering the Member States the opportunity to draw from the quota volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must, in particular, be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are being used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning, in particular, the administration of quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any of its members,
1. From 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1991 the customs duties applicable on importation of the following products originating in Austria shall, without prejudice to paragraph 3, be suspended at levels and within the limits of tariff quotas as indicated with respect to each product:

(1) See Taric codes in the Annex. 2. Within the limits of the tariff quotas referred to in paragraph 1, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply the same duties as those they apply to similar products of the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985.
3. Admission under the tariff quotas referred to in paragraph 1 shall be reserved to wines accompanied by a document VI 1 or an extract VI 2, completed in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3590/85 (1).
Document VI 1 must include in Box 15 one of the following endorsements, certified by the competent Austrian organization:
'This is to certify that the wines referred to in this document are quality wines (1)/quality sparkling wines (1) originating in Austria and in conformity with the 1985 Wine Law of the Republic of Austria.
(1) Delete whichever entry is not applicable.'
Furthermore, the wines in question shall remain subject to observance of the free-at-frontier reference price. In order that these wines benefit from the tariff quotas, Article 54 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2964/88 (3), must be complied with.
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take all appropriate administrative measures in order to ensure effective administration thereof.
If an importer presents, in a Member State, a declaration of entry into free circulation, including a request for preferential benefit for a product covered by this Regulation and if this declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall draw from the tariff quota, by means of notification to the Commission, a quantity corresponding to these needs.
The drawing requests, with indication of the date of acceptance of the said declaration, must be communicated to the Commission without delay.
The drawings are granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the tariff quota.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota, allocation shall be made on a pro rata basis with respect to the requests. Member States shall be informed by the Commission in accordance with the same procedures.
1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that their drawings pursuant to Article 3 enable imports to be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quotas.
2. Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products concerned have free access to the quota for such time as the residual balance of the quota volume so permits.
3. Member States shall charge imports of the products concerned against their drawings as and when the goods are entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.
4. The extent to which the quotas have been used up shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3.
At the request of the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against the quotas.
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely in order to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1990.

Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2763/75 (4) provides that the period of storage can be curtailed or extended if the market situation so requires ; whereas Article 9 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90 (5), provides for early withdrawal from store for export ; whereas the period of storage may also be curtailed in case of force majeure as referred to in Article 10 of the said Regulation ; whereas, therefore, provision should be made to fix not only the amounts of aid for a specific period of storage but also the amounts to be added or deducted if this period is curtailed or extended;
Whereas, in order to facilitate administrative and control work resulting from the conclusion of contracts, minimum quantities should be fixed;
Whereas the security should be fixed at a level such as will oblige the storter to fulfil the obligations undertaken by him;
Whereas there is reason to exclude certain products destined for export from the benefits of this Regulation because the Commission has authorized the payment of a supplementary export refund from national funds for these products;
Whereas the Management Committee for Pigmeat has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by the Chairman,
1. As from 7 January 1991 applications for private storage aid may be introduced in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90. The list of products which qualify for aid and the relevant amounts are set out in the Annex hereto.
2. If the period of storage is extended or curtailed, the amount of the aid shall be adjusted accordingly. The amounts of the supplements and deductions per month and per day are set out in columns 7 and 8 of the said Annex.
The products for export from Germany to third countries for which a supplementary export refund from national funds has been authorised by the Commission may not be the subject of requests for aid to private storage by virtue of this Regulation.
Germany shall take the necessary measures to assure respect of this disposition.
The minimum quantities per contract and per product shall be as follows: (a) 10 tonnes for boned products;
(b) 15 tonnes for all the other products.
The security shall be 20 % of the amounts of aid set out in the Annex.

laying down certain detailed rules concerning on-the-spot checks carried out in the veterinary field by Commission experts in third countries
(Text with EEA relevance)
(98/140/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 71/118/EEC of 15 February 1971 on health problems affecting the production and placing on the market of fresh poultrymeat (1), as last amended by Directive 96/23/EC (2), and in particular Article 14 thereof, and to the corresponding provisions of the other Directives in the veterinary field concerning health rules and the health requirements applying to imports of various animal species or products of animal origin,
Whereas the Commission should adopt the general implementing rules establishing the conditions under which on-the-spot checks in the veterinary field in third countries should take place, in collaboration with the Member States;
Whereas some rules relating to on-the-spot checks by Commission experts should be common to all the legislation in this field; whereas, therefore, they should be laid down in a single Decision; whereas, however, Commission Decision 86/474/EEC of 11 September 1986 on the implementation of the on-the-spot inspections to be carried out in respect of the importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat (3) should continue to apply;
Whereas application of the plans that third countries must submit pursuant to Council Directive 92/117/EEC of 17 December 1992 concerning measures for protection against specified zoonoses and specified zoonotic agents in animals and products of animal origin in order to prevent outbreaks of food-borne infections and intoxications (4), as last amended by Directive 97/22/EC (5), should be verified during the on-the-spot checks;
Whereas, when approved establishments or those undergoing approval for the purpose of exporting fresh meat to the Community are being inspected, the slaughtering conditions should also be checked in accordance with Article 15 of Council Directive 93/119/EC of 22 December 1993 on the protection of animals at the time of slaughter or killings (6);
Whereas, in the interests of efficiency, deadlines should be established for the despatch by the Commission of the results of on-the-spot checks to the third countries in which the checks were undertaken;
Whereas, where this is necessary to ensure the uniform application of the Community legislation, the on-the-spot checks should be included in programmes established after discussion with the Member States and an exchange of views in the Standing Veterinary Committee;
Whereas that collaboration should continue during the on-the-spot checks carried out by Commission experts, accompanied by experts of the Member States appointed by the Commission; whereas the Member States' experts should be subject to certain obligations and be reimbursed their travel and subsistence expenses;
Whereas, following on-the-spot checks, it is necessary to ensure that Member States are informed of the results and for appropriate measures to be proposed in accordance with Community legislation;
Whereas, in the interests of transparency, the European Parliament, the consumer and the producer should be kept informed within the limits of the Treaty and in particular the need to respect the obligation of professional secrecy laid down in Article 214 of the Treaty, of the findings of, and recommendations for action following from, the on-the-spot checks;
Whereas, the World Trade Organisation Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures, and in particular Article 8 and Annex C, paragraph l(d), requires that the confidentiality of information arising from the operation of control, inspection and approval procedures is respected in a way that legitimate commercial interests are protected;
Whereas, in the interests of clarity, Commission Decision 97/134/EC (7) should be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
1. This Decision lays down certain rules relating to the on-the-spot checks carried out in the veterinary field in third countries by Commission experts accompanied by Member State experts.
For the purposes of this Decision, ‘on-the-spot checks in the veterinary field’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘checks’) means auditing and inspection measures necessary to ensure that, without prejudice to the control of the application of existing veterinary legislation, the public and animal health and animal protection guarantees offered by third countries as regards production conditions and placement on the market may be regarded as at least equivalent to those applied in the Community.
2. The checks shall permit, according to the legislation concerned, the establishment or amendment of, in particular:
— the list of third countries or parts of third countries from which the Member States shall authorise imports,
— the import conditions specific to each third country, including any health certificate that must accompany all consignments intended for the Community,
— the list of establishments from which the Member States shall authorise imports.
3. The provisions of this Decision shall apply without prejudice to the provisions of any agreements on sanitary measures applicable to trade in live animals and animal products reached between the European Community and third countries.
1. The Commission shall establish a general programme of checks for the legislation and third countries concerned and submit it for an exchange of views in the Standing Veterinary Committee.
The general programme shall include information on the content and frequency of the measures to be taken by the Commission in the context of the checks.
2. The Commission may defer or bring forward certain checks or carry out additional checks when it regards that as necessary, in particular for health reasons or on the basis of the results of previous checks, after consulting the Member States in the Standing Veterinary Committee.
1. The Commission's experts may be accompanied during the checks by one or more experts, listed in accordance with paragraph 2, from one or more Member States.
2. Each Member State shall propose to the Commission at least two experts with specific expertise in designated areas of competence, and shall communicate to it their names, their fields of expertise, their exact official addresses, fax and telephone numbers.
The Commission shall maintain a list of those experts and shall consult the competent authority of the Member State of the expert before issuing an invitation to the expert to accompany the Commission's experts during the checks referred to in paragraph 1.
Where a Member State considers that one of the experts proposed by it should no longer be included in the list, it shall so inform the Commission. If the number of experts would thereby fall below the minimum required, the Member State shall propose one or more replacements to the Commission.
1. During the checks, the expert or experts from one or more Member States appointed by the Commission to accompany its experts shall comply with the Commission's administrative instructions.
Information gathered or conclusions made by the Member State expert or experts during the course of the checks may on no account be used for personal purposes or divulged to persons outside the competent departments of the Commission or the Member States.
2. The travel and subsistence expenses incurred by the Member State expert or experts appointed by the Commission shall be reimbursed in accordance with its rules governing travel and subsistence expenses incurred by persons not belonging to the Commission who are called on to act as experts.
Once the checks are concluded, the Commission's experts shall inform the third country orally of their conclusions and, where necessary, of the corrective measures they deem necessary and their degree of urgency.
The Commission shall confirm the results of the checks within 20 working days in a written report, subject to the receipt of any additional information requested during the checks but not available at that time.
However, in the event of an emergency, or where a significant health risk has been identified during the on-the-spot check, the third country shall be informed of the findings of the mission in a written report as quickly as possible and in any case within ten working days of the end of the mission.
In providing information on the findings of missions, the Commission shall in particular comply with the requirements laid down in Article 214 of the Treaty.
These provisions are without prejudice to the powers of the Commission to take interim protection measures under the provisions of Community legislation in the veterinary sector.
1. The Commission shall inform, by written reports, the Member States in the Standing Veterinary Committee of the findings of, and recommendations for action following from, the on-the-spot checks carried out in each third country.
The reports shall indicate, as appropriate, and if the legislation concerned so provides, whether it is necessary:
— to amend any of the lists referred to in the first indent of Article 1(2),
— to establish or amend the import conditions referred to in the second indent of Article 1(2),
— to establish or amend the lists of establishments referred to in the third indent of Article 1(2).
The Commission shall inform the European Parliament of those findings and recommendations.
The Commission shall also make those findings and recommendations publicly available on a regular basis.
2. In undertaking the actions provided for in this Article, the Commission and the Member States shall in particular comply with the requirements laid down in Article 214 of the Treaty.
The provisions of this Decision shall be re-examined before 31 December 1998 on the basis of a report by the Commission to the Member States.

of 28 June 2001
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira relating to certain agricultural products as regards the structural measures
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 37 and 299(2) 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),
Having regard to the opinion of Committee of the Regions,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and amending and repealing certain Regulations(4) lays down rural development measures that may be granted Community support and sets out the conditions for obtaining such support. That Regulation acknowledges that, in the case of the outermost regions, adjustments and derogations may be envisaged to meet the specific needs of those regions.
(2) Article 299(2) of the Treaty recognises, moreover, the constraints affecting the outermost regions, which include the Azores and Madeira.
(3) Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92(5) seeks to remedy the handicaps due to the remote and insular nature of these regions.
(4) The structures of certain agricultural holdings or processing and marketing enterprises located in these regions show serious shortcomings and are beset with specific difficulties. Provision should accordingly be made for derogations for certain types of investments from the provisions limiting or preventing the grant of some structural aid provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999.
(5) Article 29(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 restricts the grant of forestry support to forests and wooded areas belonging to private owners and municipalities and associations thereof. Part of the forests and wooded areas located in these regions belong to public authorities other than municipalities. Under these circumstances, the conditions laid down in the said Article should be made more flexible.
(6) The Community financial contribution for three of the accompanying measures referred to in Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 may amount in the outermost regions to up to 85 % of the total eligible cost. On the other hand, in accordance with the third indent of the second subparagraph of Article 47(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999, the Community financial contribution for agri-environmental measures, which constitutes the fourth accompanying measure, shall be limited to 75 % for all areas covered by Objective 1. In view of the importance attributed to agri-environment within the context of rural development, the rate of the Community financial contribution should be harmonised for all accompanying measures in the outermost regions.
(7) Article 24(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 and the Annex thereto determine the maximum amounts per year eligible for Community agri-environmental aid. To take into account the specific environmental situation of certain very sensitive pasture areas in the Azores and the preservation of the landscape and traditional features of agricultural land, in particular the areas of terrace cultivation in Madeira, provision should be made for the possibility, in the case of certain specific measures, of increasing those amounts up to twofold.
(8) Pursuant to Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(6), each plan, Community support framework, operational programme and single programming document shall cover a period of seven years, and the programming period shall begin on 1 January 2000. In the interests of cohesiveness and to avoid discrimination between beneficiaries of the same programme, the derogations provided for in this Regulation must, exceptionally, be applicable to the whole programming period,
Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 is hereby amended as follows:
The following Article 32 shall be inserted in Section 1 of Title IV: "Article 32
1. Notwithstanding Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(7), the total value of the aid, expressed as a percentage of the volume of eligible investments, shall not exceed 75 % for investments intended in particular to encourage diversification, restructuring or a shift towards sustainable agriculture on agricultural holdings of small economic size to be defined in the programme complement referred to in Article 18(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds(8).
2. Notwithstanding Article 28(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999, the total value of the aid, expressed as a percentage of the volume of eligible investments, shall not exceed 65 % for investments in enterprises engaged in processing and marketing agricultural products consisting mainly of local produce in sectors to be defined in the programme complement referred to in Article 18(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The total value of the aid for small and medium-sized enterprises, under the same conditions, shall not exceed 75 %.
3. The restriction laid down in Article 29(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 shall not apply to subtropical forests or wooded areas located in the Azores and Madeira.
4. Notwithstanding the third indent of the second subparagraph of Article 47(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999, the Community contribution to the agri-environmental measures provided for in Articles 22 to 24 of that Regulation shall be 85 %.
5.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 of 10 November 2006 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient is to express the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.
(2) According to the information provided by Ireland in respect of the period 1 January to 31 December 2006, the average ageing period for Irish whiskey in 2006 was five years.
(3) The coefficients for the period from 1 October 2007 to 30 September 2008 should therefore be fixed accordingly.
(4) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area excludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Community has concluded agreements abolishing export refunds with certain third countries. Under the terms of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006, this should be taken into account in calculating the coefficients for 2007/08,
For the period 1 October 2007 to 30 September 2008, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 applying to cereals used in Ireland for manufacturing Irish whiskey shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) For certain substances, micro-organisms or preparations, referred to as products, there is uncertainty whether they are feed additives. This uncertainty concerns some products which are authorised as feed additives included in the Register of feed additives and also included in the Catalogue of feed materials provided for in Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the placing on the market and use of feed, amending European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and repealing Council Directive 79/373/EEC, Commission Directive 80/511/EEC, Council Directives 82/471/EEC, 83/228/EEC, 93/74/EEC, 93/113/EC and 96/25/EC and Commission Decision 2004/217/EC (2), some products which are neither authorised as feed additives nor included in the Catalogue of feed materials and some products which are authorised as feed additives, but could be included in the Catalogue of feed materials in accordance with the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 767/2009.
(2) To avoid inconsistencies in the treatment of such products, to facilitate the work of the national competent control authorities and to lighten the burden of the interested parties, as regards certain products it is necessary to adopt a Regulation determining those products that are not feed additives.
(3) For that determination all the characteristics of the products concerned have to be taken into account.
(4) From a comparison between the characteristics of the products included in the Register of feed additives on the one hand and of the products mentioned in the Catalogue of feed materials on the other hand, several criteria may be derived for the classification of products as feed material, feed additive or other products. Useful criteria for this differentiation are amongst others the production and processing method, the level of standardisation, the homogenisation, the purity, the chemical definition and the mode of use of the products. For the sake of consistency, products with similar properties should be classified by analogy. For products for which there were doubts whether they were feed additives, an examination has been carried out taking into account these criteria.
(5) Based on that examination, the products set out in the Annex should not be considered as feed additives within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(6) As regards the labelling of the products which were authorised as feed additives and the labelling of feed materials and compound feed containing those products, a transitional period should be provided to allow feed business operators to adapt. Furthermore those products should be deleted from the Register of feed additives.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The substances, micro-organisms and preparations (referred to as ‘products’), as set out in the Annex, are not feed additives within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
The products listed under Part 1 of the Annex shall no longer be considered as authorised feed additives within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
Products set out in Part 1 of the Annex which are labelled as feed additives and pre-mixtures in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 may continue to be placed on the market until 9 October 2013 and remain on the market until stocks are exhausted. The same applies to feed materials or compound feed which refer to these products in their labelling as feed additives in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 767/2009.

Whereas the second indent of Article 3 (1) (b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1799/76 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 534/81 (4), provides that the aid for linseed referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 is to be granted only for areas in respect of which a crop declaration has been submitted; whereas, pursuant to Articles 9 and 11 of the said Regulation, the crop declaration must be submitted by 15 December in the case of seed flax and by a date fixed by the Member State concerned, but in any event by 31 October, in the case of fibre flax; whereas, in the case of fibre flax, an application for aid as referred to in Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 771/74 of 29 March 1974 laying down detailed rules for granting aid for flax and hemp (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2426/86 (6), is equivalent to a crop declaration;
Whereas total loss of the aid is too severe a penalty to impose on applicants who do not submit a crop declaration within the period stipulated; whereas, therefore, this sanction should be attenuated by making the penalty proportional to the delay involved; whereas, in order to ensure equal treatment among the recipients of the aid, whatever their place of establishment within the Community, a time limit should be set which is applicable in all Member States; whereas, for the purposes of the smooth operation of the aid scheme, the date by which the crop declarations must be submitted should be set at 30 November in the case of fibre flax and at 31 December in the case of seed flax;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,

Whereas the application of Directive 75/130/EEC (4), as last amended by Directive 86/544/EEC (5), has produced positive results;
Whereas the increasing problems relating to road congestion, the environment and road safety, call, in the public interest, for the further development of combined transport as
a commercially attractive alternative to long-distance intra-Community road haulage;
Whereas the incentive provided by present Community rules for combined transport has not produced all the results expected to arise from the ongoing liberalization of conventional road haulage; whereas these rules accordingly need to be amended in order to make better use of the possibilities offered by the various methods of transport;
Whereas a greater liberalization of road haulage legs to and from inland-waterway ports is likely to encourage the use of combined inland-waterway transport;
Whereas the provisions of the Treaty relating to the freedom to provide services also apply to the field of combined transport; whereas the implementation of those provisions is likely to promote the wider use of combined transport;
Whereas the development of combined transport will help transit across Alpine countries;
Whereas the development of modern methods of transport, which include combined transport, also entails making it easier for such a method to be used by own-account road hauliers,
Article 1 Directive 75/130/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. the third indent of Article 1 (1) is replaced by the following:
'- combined transport by inland waterway means the transport of lorries, trailers, semi-trailers with or without tractor, swap bodies and containers of 20 feet or more by inland waterway between Member States, including initial and final road haulage legs within a radius of 150 km as the crow flies from the inland-waterway port of loading or unloading.';
2. Article 6 is replaced by the following:
'Article 6
All hauliers established in a Member State who meet the conditions of access to the occupation and access to the market for transport of goods between Member States shall have the right to carry out, in the context of a combined transport operation between Member States, initial and/or final road haulage legs which form an integral part of the combined transport operation and which may or may not include the crossing of a frontier.';
3. Article 11 is replaced by the following:
'Article 11
Initial or final road haulage legs forming part of combined transport operations shall be exempted from compulsory tariff regulations.';
4. the following Articles are added:
'Article 12
Where, as part of a combined transport operation, the dispatching undertaking carries out the initial road haulage leg for its own account within the meaning of the First Council Directive of 23 July 1962 on the establishment of certain common rules for international transport (carriage of goods by road for hire or reward) (*), the undertaking which is to receive the goods transported may, notwithstanding the definition given in the said Directive, carry out for its own account the final road haulage leg to transport the goods to their destination using a tractor owned by it, bought by it on deferred terms or hired by it pursuant to Council Directive 84/647/EEC of 19 December 1984 on the
use of vehicles hired without drivers for the carriage of
goods by road (**), as amended by Directive 90/398/EEC (***), and driven by its employees, even though the trailer or semi-trailer is registered or hired by the undertaking which dispatched the goods.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 461/2004 (2) (the ‘basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 8, 11(3), 21 and 22(c) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
1. Measures in force
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 990/2004 (3) the Council amended Regulation (EC) No 151/2003 (4) imposing anti-dumping measures on imports of certain grain oriented electrical sheets (‘the product concerned’) originating in the Russian Federation (‘Russia’). The rate of the duty applicable to the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, before duty, is set for imports of the product concerned at 40,1 % manufactured by the Novolipetsk Iron & Steel Corporation and at 14,7 % manufactured by the OOO Viz Stal.
2. Investigation
(2) On 20 March 2004 the Commission announced through the publication of a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union
(5) the initiation of a partial interim review of the measures in force (‘the measures’) pursuant to Articles 11(3) and 22(c) of the basic Regulation.
(3) The review was launched at the initiative of the Commission in order to examine whether, as a consequence of the enlargement of the European Union on 1 May 2004 (‘Enlargement’) and, bearing in mind the aspect of Community interest, there is a need to adapt the measures in order to avoid a sudden and excessively negative effect on all interested parties including users, distributors and consumers.
(4) All interested parties, including the Community industry, associations of producers or users in the Community, exporters/producers in the countries concerned, importers and their associations and the relevant authorities of the countries concerned as well as interested parties in the ten new Member States which acceded to the European Union on 1 May 2004 (‘the EU10’) were advised of the initiation of the investigation and were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing, to submit information and to provide supporting evidence within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation. All interested parties who so requested and showed that there were reasons why they should be heard were granted a hearing.
3. Result of the investigation
(5) As set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 990/2004, the investigation concluded that it is in the Community interest to adapt the existing measures, provided that such adaptation does not significantly undermine the desired level of trade defence.
4. Undertakings
(6) In accordance with the conclusions of Regulation (EC) 990/2004 the Commission, in conformity with Article 8(2) of the basic Regulation, suggested undertakings to the companies concerned. As a result, undertakings were subsequently offered by (i) one exporting producer of the product concerned in Russia (Novolipetsk Iron & Steel Corporation) jointly with a company in Switzerland (Stinol AG) and (ii) a second exporting producer of the product concerned in Russia (OOO Viz Stal) jointly with its related company Duferco S.A. in Switzerland.
(7) It should be noted that, in application of Article 22(c) of the basic Regulation, these undertakings are considered as special measures since, in accordance with the conclusions of Regulation (EC) 990/2004, they are not directly equivalent to an anti-dumping duty.
(8) Nevertheless, in conformity with Regulation (EC) 990/2004, the undertakings oblige each individual producing exporter to respect the import ceilings and, in order that the undertakings can be monitored, the exporting producers concerned have also agreed to broadly respect their traditional selling patterns to individual customers in the EU10. The exporting producers are also aware that if it is found that these sales patterns change significantly, or that the undertakings become in any way difficult or impossible to monitor, the Commission is entitled to withdraw acceptance of the company’s undertaking resulting in definitive anti-dumping duties being imposed in its place, or it may adjust the level of the ceiling, or it may take other remedial action.
(9) It is also a condition of the undertakings that if they are breached in any way, the Commission will be entitled to withdraw acceptance thereof resulting in definitive anti-dumping duties being imposed in their place.
(10) The companies will also provide the Commission with regular and detailed information concerning their exports to the Community, meaning that the undertakings can be monitored effectively by the Commission.
(11) In order that the Commission can monitor effectively the companies’ compliance with the undertakings, when the request for release for free circulation pursuant to an undertaking is presented to the relevant customs authority, exemption from the duty will be conditional upon the presentation of an invoice containing at least the items of information listed in the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) 990/2004. This level of information is also necessary to enable customs authorities to ascertain with sufficient precision that the shipment corresponds to the commercial documents. Where no such invoice is presented, or when it does not correspond to the product presented to customs, the appropriate anti-dumping duty will instead be payable.
(12) In view of all the above, the offers of undertakings are considered acceptable.
(13) The acceptance of the undertakings is limited to an initial period of six months without prejudice to the normal duration of the measures and they shall lapse after this period, unless the Commission considers it is appropriate to extend period of application of special measures for next six months.
B. REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS
(14) In view of the unusual circumstances of this case and the inherent risk of breaches of undertakings caused by the price differences between the EU10 and the EU15 and their short term character, it is considered that sufficient grounds exist to make certain imports of the product concerned subject to registration for a maximum period of nine months in accordance with Article 14 (5) of the basic Regulation.
(15) Customs authorities are therefore directed to take the appropriate steps to register imports into the Community of the product concerned originating in Russia exported by the companies which have offered acceptable undertakings and for which benefit from the exemption to the anti-dumping duties is sought.
(16) In the event of a finding of a breach of the undertakings, duties may be levied retroactively on goods entered into free circulation in the Community from the date of the breach of the undertaking,
The undertakings offered by the exporting producers mentioned below, in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of grain oriented cold-rolled sheets and strips of silicon-electrical steel with a width of more than 500 mm originating in Russia are hereby accepted:
Country Company Taric Additional Code
Russian Federation Produced by Novolipetsk Iron & Steel Corporation, Lipetsk, Russia, and sold by Stinol AG, Lugano, Switzerland, to its first customer in the Community acting as an importer A524
Russian Federation Produced by OOO Viz Stal, Ekaterinburg, Russia, and sold by Duferco SA, Lugano, Switzerland, to the first independent customer in the Community acting as an importer A525
The customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Community of grain oriented cold-rolled sheets and strips of silicon-electrical steel with a width of more than 500 mm originating in Russia and falling within CN code 7225 11 00 (sheets of a width of 600 mm or more) and ex 7226 11 00 (sheets of a width of more than 500 mm but less than 600 mm) produced and sold by the companies listed in Article 1 for which an exemption to the anti-dumping duties imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 990/2004 is sought.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union and shall remain in force for a period of six months.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |

| Commission Directive 2000/68/EC
of 23 October 2000
including an active substance (bentazone) in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2000/10/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(1) and the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2266/2000(4), laid down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC (hereinafter referred to as "the Directive"). Pursuant to that Regulation, Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2230/95(6), laid down the list of active substances of plant protection products to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to the Directive.
(2) In accordance with Article 5(1) of the Directive, an active substance should be included in Annex I if it may be expected that neither the use of, nor residues from, plant protection products containing that active substance will have any harmful effects on human or animal health or on groundwater or any unacceptable influence on the environment.
(3) Such an active substance may be included in Annex I for a period not exceeding 10 years.
(4) For bentazone the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 for a number of uses proposed by the notifiers. Germany was designated as rapporteur Member State under Regulation (EC) No 933/94 laying down the active substances of plant protection products and designating the rapporteur Member State for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92. It submitted the relevant assessment report and recommendation to the Commission on 13 November 1996, in accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.
(5) The assessment report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Plant Health. This review was finalised on 13 July 2000 in the format of the Commission review report for bentazone.
(6) The dossier and the information from the review have also been submitted to the Scientific Committee for Plants for consultation. The Scientific Committee for Plants in its opinion(7) confirmed that the substance can be used without unacceptable risk but noted that Member States should assess the leaching potential to groundwater in particularly vulnerable locations and in rice cultures.
(7) It has appeared from the assessments made that plant protection products containing the active substance concerned may be expected to satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of the Directive, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined. It is appropriate therefore to include the active substance concerned in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the granting, varying or withdrawing, as appropriate, of the authorisations of plant protection products containing bentazone can be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of the Directive.
(8) Article 8(2) of the Directive provides that after inclusion of an active substance in its Annex I, Member States shall, within a prescribed period, grant, vary or withdraw, as appropriate, the authorisations of the plant protection products containing the active substance. In particular, Articles 4(1) and 13(1) of the Directive require that plant protection products are not authorised unless account is taken of the conditions associated with the inclusion of the active substance in Annex I and the uniform principles laid down in Annex VI on the basis of a dossier satisfying the data requirements laid down in its Article 13.
(9) Before inclusion, a reasonable deadline is necessary to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion. Moreover, after inclusion, a reasonable period is necessary for the Member States to implement the Directive and in particular to vary or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations or grant new authorisations in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. A longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Annex VI to the Directive. For plant protection products containing several active substances, the complete evaluation on the basis of the uniform principles can only be carried out when all the active substances concerned have been included in Annex I to the Directive.
(10) It is appropriate to provide that the finalised review report (except for confidential information in the meaning of Article 14 of the Directive) is kept available or made available by the Member States for consultation by any interested parties.
(11) The review report is required for the proper implementation by the Member States of several sections of the uniform principles laid down in Annex VI to the Directive, where these principles refer to the evaluation of the Annex II data which were submitted for the purpose of the inclusion of the active substance in Annex I to the Directive.
(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Bentazone is hereby designated as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, as set out in the Annex hereto.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive, at the latest by 31 January 2002, and shall immediately inform the Commission thereof. In particular they shall, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing bentazone as an active substance within such period.
2. However, with regard to evaluation and decision-making pursuant to the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III thereto, the period laid down in the first paragraph is extended:
- for plant protection products containing bentazone as the only active substance, to four years from the entry into force of this Directive,
- for plant protection products containing bentazone together with another active substance which is in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, to four years from the entry into force of such Directive as shall include the last of those substances in Annex I.
3. Member States shall keep available the review report (except for confidential information within the meaning of Article 14 of the Directive) for consultation by any interested parties or shall make it available to them on specific request.
4. When Member States adopt the provisions referred to in paragraph 1, these shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference at the time of their official publication. The procedure for such reference shall be adopted by Member States.
This Directive shall enter into force on 1 August 2001.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3635/87, duties on certain products originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III shall be totally suspended and the products as such shall, as a general rule, be subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 15;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 15, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, causes, or threatens to cause, economic difficulties in the Community or in a region of the Community, the levying of customs duties may be re-established once the Commission has had an appropriate exchange of information with the Member States; whereas for this purpose the reference base to be considered shall be, as a general rule, equal to 5 % of the total importations into the Community, originating from third countries in 1986;
Whereas, in the case of cortisones falling within combined nomenclature codes 2937 21 00 and 2937 29 10, the reference base is fixed at 270 000 ECU; whereas, on 22 June 1988, imports of these products into the Community originating in China, reached the reference base in question after being charged thereagainst; whereas the exchange of information organized by the Commission has demonstrated that continuance of the preference threatens to cause economic difficulties in a region of the Community; whereas, therefore, customs duties in respect of the products in question must be re-established against China,
As from 17 July 1988, the levying of customs duties, suspended pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3635/87, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the following products originating in China:

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 13(2) and Article 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply, with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval, to active substances for which a decision has been adopted in accordance with Article 6(3) of that Directive before 14 June 2011. For emamectin the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2007/669/EC (3).
(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the Netherlands received on 23 June 2006 an application from Syngenta Crop Protection AG for the inclusion of the active substance emamectin in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2007/669/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 6 March 2008.
(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion (4) on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance emamectin on 13 November 2012. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 16 July 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for emamectin.
(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing emamectin may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve emamectin.
(6) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(8) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing emamectin. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(9) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(10) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (6) should be amended accordingly.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Approval of active substance
The active substance emamectin, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Re-evaluation of plant protection products
1. Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing emamectin as an active substance by 31 October 2014.
By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing emamectin as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 30 April 2014 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
Following that determination Member States shall:
(a) in the case of a product containing emamectin as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 October 2015 at the latest; or
(b) in the case of a product containing emamectin as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 October 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest.

The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 911/2001(2), and in particular Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001(3) lays down detailed rules on export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant quantities of the products listed in that Article to be exported, the difference between the international market prices for those products and their prices in the Community may be covered by export refunds.
(3) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation or the outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available on the one hand, and prices on the international market on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the costs referred to in Article 35(4)(b) of that Regulation and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.
(4) Pursuant to Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, refunds are to be set with due regard to the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint. International trade prices are to be established in the light of the prices referred to in the second subparagraph of that paragraph.
(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.
(7) Shelled almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts in shell can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.
(8) Compared with other fruit and vegetables, nuts are relatively easy to store. Export refunds can accordingly be fixed for longer periods with a view to rational management of the arrangements.
(9) The application of the abovementioned rules to the present and forecast market situation, and in particular to fruit and vegetable prices in the Community and international trade, gives the refund rates set out in the Annex hereto.
(10) Pursuant to Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, the resources available should be used as efficiently as possible while avoiding discrimination between traders. Therefore, care should be taken not to disturb the trade flows previously induced by the refund arrangements. For those reasons and because of the seasonal nature of exports of fruit and vegetables, quotas should be fixed for each product.
(11) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1007/2002(5), establishes an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds.
(12) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000(6), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2299/2001(7), lays down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products.
(13) Owing to the market situation, in order to make the most efficient use of the resources available and given the structure of Community exports, the most appropriate method should be selected for export refunds on certain products and certain destinations and consequently refunds under the A 1, A 2 and A 3 licence arrangements referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 should not be fixed simultaneously for the export period in question.
(14) The quantities laid down for the various products should be distributed in accordance with the different systems for the grant of the refund, taking account in particular of their perishability.
(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
1. The export refunds on nuts shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
2. Quantities covered by licences issued for food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall not count against the eligible quantities covered by the Annex.
3. Without prejudice to the application of Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the term of validity of A 1 licences shall be three months.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3611/93 (2), and in particular Articles 15 (2) and 25 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2867/93 (4), lays down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector;
Whereas recent trends on the market for beef and veal indicate that the Commission needs to be better informed of the quantities and the destinations of live bovine animals other than pure-bred breeding animals for which export licences have been applied for; whereas, moreover, it is necessary to provide for the issue of export licences with advance fixing of refunds after a period of five working days, in order to enable the Commission to assess the market situation and, if necessary, to take appropriate measures with regard to the applications concerned, including the possible rejection of such applications; whereas the above measures cannot be effective unless the Commission is informed quickly of the quantities and destinations of those animals; whereas, therefore, Articles 8a and 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 should be amended;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 854/94 (5) extending the suspension of the advance fixing of export refunds in the beef and veal sector should be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 8a (1) and (2) are hereby replaced by the following:
'1. For products falling within CN codes 0201 and 0202 and subheadings 0102 90, 0206 10 95 and 0206 29 91, the application for an export licence and the licence itself shall contain, in Section 13, the name of the country of destination of the product.
2. For products falling within CN codes 0201 and 0202 and subheadings 0102 90, 0206 10 95 and 0206 29 91, the export licence with advance fixing of the refund, as referred to in Article 3 (a), shall be issued on the fifth working day following the day on which the application is lodged, unless special measures are taken during that period.';
2. Article 16 (1) (i) is replaced by the following:
'(i) for products falling within CN codes 0201 and 0202 and subheadings 0102 90, 0206 10 95 and 0206 29 91, specifying, by product, the quantities and countries of destination:
- a list of export licences with advance fixing of refunds applied for since the previous communication,

Whereas the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Arab Republic of Egypt (1) was signed on 18 January 1977 and entered into force on 1 November 1978;
Whereas Article 6 of the Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation to the said Agreement (hereinafter referred to as 'the Protocol'), as amended by Decision No 1/81 of the Cooperation Council (2), provides that, in the case of an automatic change in the base date applicable to the amounts expressed in ECU, the Community may introduce revised amounts when necessary;
Whereas the equivalent value of the ECU in certain national currencies on 1 October 1984 was less than the corresponding value on 1 October 1982; whereas the automatic change in the base date would, in the case of conversion into the national currencies concerned, have the effect of reducing the limits which permit the presentation of simplified documentary evidence; whereas, in order to avoid this effect, it is necessary to increase such limits expressed in ECU,
The Protocol is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the second subparagraph of Article 6 (1), '2 000 ECU' is replaced by '2 355 ECU'.
2. In Article 17 (2) '140 ECU' is replaced by '165 ECU' and '400 ECU' by '470 ECU'.

Whereas in particular it is advisable to make sure that the origin of the products is correct by requiring that certain documents issued by the countries concerned be presented in order to obtain an import licence; whereas under arrangements introduced several years ago, one of the requirements, when applying for an import licence for products originating in Vietnam, is that a certificate issued on the initiative of the exporting country should be presented;
Whereas, moreover, it is advisable, in order to discourage operators from applying for abnormally high quantities, to specify that the person applying for an import licence should provide proof of the quantities loaded and consigned to the Community; whereas it is also advisable to provide for a maximum quantity per application, and to specify that the quantity applied for may in no case exceed that for which the proof referred to above has been presented;
Whereas the supplementary detailed rules normally applicable to the management of such quotas should also be set out, in particular those regarding the lodging of applications, the issuing of licences and the monitoring of actual imports; whereas those detailed rules either supplement or derogate from the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1903/89 (5), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 891/89 of 5 April 1989 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 990/89 (7);

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and in particular Article 149 (1) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1592/96 (2), lays down the basic rules for the management of the market in that sector; whereas, in particular, Article 1 (6) thereof lays down that the wine year lasts from 1 September to 31 August;
Whereas, by virtue of the abovementioned Act of Accession, the common organization of the market in wine has applied in Austria since the moment of accession; whereas, however, the Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1834/95 of 26 July 1995 on transitional measures applicable in Austria in the wine-growing sector (3), postponed the whole application of important market management measures;
Whereas the compulsory distillation measures imposed on Community table wine producers pursuant to Article 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 require the setting up of a large administrative organization; whereas, moreover, if the measure in question were to be initiated in Austria its impact would be negligible given the small proportion of table wine by comparison with quality wine; whereas, therefore, producers should be exempted from that distillation obligation for the 1996/97 wine year; whereas, however, given that they could be eligible for other forms of voluntary distillation, a distillation price and an ad hoc wine quantity should be fixed for Austrian producers taking account of the possibility that compulsory distillation may not be applied;
Whereas, to smooth the transition from the former national arrangements to the Community arrangements and to ensure stability on the market in Austrian wines, wine producers in Austria should be exempted from the distillation obligation laid down in Articles 35 and 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 and at the same time special provisions appropriate to that situation should be adopted;
Whereas, to respond to the current absence of suitable distillation structures for wine-making by-products in Austria, that Member State's producers should be exempted from the distillation obligation laid down by Article 35 of the above Regulation and at the same time, in order to establish equitable treatment for all Community producers, they should be obliged to withdraw those by-products under supervision;
Whereas the overpressing of grapes, whether crushed or not, and of wine lees should also be avoided; whereas the marcs and lees withdrawn under supervision must present the minimum characteristics required by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3105/88 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2365/95 (5); whereas the impact of that operation should be equivalent to that of normal legal instruments;
Whereas the development of the situation on the Austrian wine market, and in particular the current phase of transition to the Community arrangements, should be monitored with a view to facilitating that transition;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
1. Without prejudice to the special transitional measures laid down in the Act of Accession, the measures provided for in Articles 35 and 39 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 shall not apply in Austria in the 1996/97 wine year.
2. However, notwithstanding paragraph 1, any legal or natural person or group of persons processing grapes harvested in Austria shall be obliged to withdraw under supervision the by-products of such processing. Such by-products shall present the minimum characteristics required by Regulation (EEC) No 3105/88. The competent Austrian authorities shall adopt suitable national measures to ensure the proper application of this measure.
3. Where the voluntary distillation measures laid down in Articles 38 and 42 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 are initiated, the Commission shall, in establishing the quantities of wine concerned, the prices and aids in Austria, take account of the impact of compulsory distillation on producers' incomes in that Member State.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 September 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

(notified under document number C(2007) 2093)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/355/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I of that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 703/2001 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes carbaryl.
(3) For carbaryl the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 703/2001 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. For carbaryl the rapporteur Member State was Spain and all relevant information was submitted on 29 April 2004.
(4) The assessment report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 12 May 2006 in the format of the EFSA conclusion regarding the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance carbaryl (4). This report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 29 September 2006 in the format of the Commission review report for carbaryl.
(5) During the evaluation of this active substance, a number of concerns were identified. In particular based on the available data it has not been demonstrated that the consumer exposure is acceptable. The information available indicates concerns for metabolites which are at the same level of toxicity as the active substance, and their presence at levels which might be of toxicological concerns can not be excluded. Moreover there are concerns on potential carcinogenic properties of the active substance. There is also a high long-term risk for insectivorous birds and a high acute risk to herbivorous mammals, a high acute and long-term risk to aquatic organisms and a high risk for beneficial arthropods.
(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the peer review and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments advanced, the above concerns remained unsolved, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted and evaluated during the EFSA expert meetings have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing carbaryl satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.
(7) Carbaryl should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing carbaryl are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.
(9) Any period of grace granted by a Member State for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing carbaryl, should be limited to twelve months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season.
(10) This decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for carbaryl according to the provisions of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Carbaryl shall not be included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing carbaryl are withdrawn by 21 November 2007;
(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing carbaryl are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision.
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire 21 November 2008 at the latest.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. | 0 | 0.25 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2253/84
of 31 July 1984
imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on certain imports of certain sodium carbonate originating in the United States of America and accepting undertakings in respect of other imports of the same product
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3017/79 of 20 December 1979 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1580/82 (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Procedure
(1) In March 1984 the Commission received a request for a review of the existing anti-dumping measures (3) lodged by the European Council of Chemical Manufacturers' Associations (CEFIC) on behalf of Belgian, British, Dutch, French, German and Italian producers of dense sodium carbonate whose collective output constitutes practically all Community production of the product in question. The request for a review contained evidence of renewed dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (4), the re-opening of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of dense sodium carbonate originating in the United States of America, falling within subheading 28.42 A ex II of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 28.42-31, and commenced an investigation.
(2) The Commission officially so advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned and the representatives of the exporting country and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.
(3) The majority of the known exporters and all importers made their views known in writing and have requested and have been granted hearings.
(4) Submissions were made by the United Kingdom Glass Manufacturers' Federation and the Food Manufacturers' Federation of the United Kingdom.
(5) For the the purpose of a preliminary determination, the Commission requested and received all necessary detailed written submissions from the complainant Community producers, the exporters and the importers and verified the information therein to the extent considered necessary.
B. Normal value
(6) Normal value was provisionally determined on the basis of the domestic prices of those producers who exported to the EEC.
C Export price
(7) Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the product sold for export to the Community.
D. Comparison
(8) In comparing normal value with export prices the Commission took account, where appropriate, of differences affecting price comparability. This was especially the case for differences in conditions and terms of sale, in particular delivery and payment conditions. The necessary adjustments were made where claims in this area could be satisfactorily demonstrated; all comparisons were made at ex works level on the basis of cash payment.
E. Margins
(9) The above preliminary examination of the facts shows the existence of dumping in respect of Allied Chemical Corporation, Texasgulf Chemicals Company and Tenneco Minerals Company, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeds the price for export to the Community.
These margins vary according to the exporter, the weighted average margin for each of the exporters investigated being as follows:
Allied Chemical Corporation 34,25 %
Texasgulf Chemicals Company 15,87 %
Tenneco Minerals Company in excess of 40 %
(10) For those exporters who neither replied to the Commission's questionnaire nor made themselves known otherwise in the course of the preliminary investigation, dumping was determined on the basis of the facts available. In this connection the Commission considered that the results of its investigation provided an accurate basis for determination of the level of dumping and that it would constitute a bonus for non-cooperation to assume that the dumping margin for these exporters was any lower than the highest dumping margin determined with regard to an exporter who had cooperated in the investigation. For these reasons it is considered appropriate to use this latter dumping margin for this group of exporters.
F. Injury
(11) With regard to injury the Commission investigated the period 1 January 1982 to 31 March 1984, since the years 1979 to 1981 had been investigated during the proceeding which led to the measures referred to above at present in force.
(12) With regard to imports, the evidence available to the Commission shows that quantities of dense sodium carbonate imported into the Community from the United States of America totalled 81 333 tonnes in 1982 decreasing to 48 263 tonnes in 1983, as a result of the anti-dumping measures taken in the latter part of 1982, only to increase again in the first quarter of 1984 to 24 064 tonnes which indicates that the total quantity for the year may well be in excess of the 1983 level. Sales in the Community of these imports in terms of tonnage developed accordingly. In consequence, the share of the Community market of bulk dense sodium carbonate represented by dumped imports was 3,70 % immediately prior to the initiation of the previous investigation, decreasing to 2,00 % in 1982, rising to 2,29 % in 1983, to return almost to its former level at 3,12 % in the first quarter of 1984.
(13) The corresponding shares for that part of the Community most affected by these dumped imports were 17,20 % for the first half of 1982, 9,13 and 11,31 % for 1982 and 1983 respectively, increasing once more to 16,08 % in the first quarter of 1984. It was furthermore established that the resale prices of these imports were lower than those required to cover the costs of the Community producer mainly implicated and provide a reasonable profit.
(14) The consequent impact on the Community industry as a whole has been a fall in production by about 5 % since 1982. Since no significant stocks of the product are kept by Community producers, sales decreased at the same rate as production. The market share held by the Community industry fell in accordance with the increase in market shares registered for dumped imports from the United States of America, particularly affecting that part of the Community market in which these imports are concentrated. The current figures concerning capacity utilization show an improvement since 1982 but this has been due to substantial reductions in overall capacity leading to an increased use of the production capacities remaining.
(15) The Commission has considered whether injury has been caused by other factors such as stagnation of demand and the volume of other imports.
Although in previous years demand had declined considerably, no further noticeable decrease occurred during the period investigated.
As to imports of dense sodium carbonate from other countries, namely from eastern Europe, it has been difficult to establish meaningful figures because the Community import statistics do not distinguish between imports of dense sodium carbonate and other forms of sodium carbonate. According to the best evidence, these imports, unlike those originating in the United States of America, are evenly spread over the whole Community market and their impact is thereby felt to a lesser extent. In any case, the quantities involved are estimated to be below those subject to this proceeding. (16) All these considerations taken together led the Commission to the determination that the effects of the dumped imports of dense sodium carbonate originating in the United States, taken in isolation, have to be considered as causing material injury to the Community industry concerned.
G. Community interest
(17) The consumers referred to in paragraph 4 expressed themselves in favour of a continuation of imports of dense soidium carbonate originating in the United States of America so as to give them an alternative source of supply and thus increase competition among suppliers.
(18) The Commission has considered this point of view and the Community interest as a whole. It is in favour of competition from as many sources as possible on the Community market and more specifically that part of the Community market mostly affected. Hoever, in view of difficulties facing the Community industry, the Commission has come to the conclusion that it is in the Community's interest that action be taken. In order to prevent further injury being caused during the remainder of the proceeding, this action should take the form of a provisional anti-dumping duty.
H. Undertakings
(19) In the course of the investigation Allied Chemical Corporation, FMC Corporation, Tenneco Minerals Company, and Texasgulf Chemicals Company offered undertakings concerning exports to the Community of dense sodium carbonate.
The effect of the undertakings offered by Allied Chemical Corporation and Texasgulf Chemicals Company will be to increase sales prices in the Community to the level which the Commission, having taken into account the selling price necessary to provide an adequate return to Community producers, considered necessary to eliminate injury. These increases in no case exceed the dumping margins found during the investigation.
In these circumstances, these undertakings are considered acceptable. No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee.
The undertakings offered by Tenneco Minerals Company was found unacceptable because, in view of its special features, its implementation could not have been satisfactorily monitored and could have led to controversy.
A decision on the acceptability of the undertaking offered by FMC Corporation will be taken at a later stage in the proceeding.
I. Rate of duty
(20) Having regard to the extent of injury caused, the rate of provisional duty for imports not covered by the undertakings should be less than the dumping margins provisionally established but adequate to remove the injury caused; this duty should be levied in addition to the definitive duty currently applicable.
(21) In conformity with the provisions of the anti-dumping Regulation which provides for the possibility of taking provisional measures, it is appropriate to impose a supplementary provisional duty. The amount of this provisional duty is an additional 44,34 ECU per tonne for imports of dense sodium carbonate from the United States of America.
(22) A period should be fixed within which the parties concerned may, following the imposition of the provisional duty, make their views known and apply to be heard orally by the Commission,
1. The undertakings offered by Allied Chemical Corporation and Texasgulf Chemicals Company in connection with the proceeding concerning the imports of certain sodium carbonate originating in the United States of America are hereby accepted.
2. The proceeding, in so far as it concerns Allied Chemical Corporation and Texasgulf Chemicals Company is hereby terminated.
1. A provisional anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on dense sodium carbonate originating in the United States of America and falling within subheading 28.42 A ex II of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 28.42-31. This provisional duty is to be levied in addition to the definitive anti-dumping duty currently applicable.
2. The duty shall not apply to dense sodium carbonate exported by Allied Chemical Corporation and Texasgulf Chemicals Company. 3. The amount of the additional duty shall be 44,34 ECU per tonne.
4. For the purposes of this Regulation, dense sodium carbonate means sodium carbonate with a specific gravity exceeding 0,700 kg/dm3.
5. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
6. The release for free circulation in the Community of the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall be subject to the provision of a security equivalent to the amount of the provisional duty.
Without prejudice to Article 7 (4) (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3017/79, the parties concerned may make known their views, and apply to be heard orally by the Commission, within one month of the entry into force of this Regulation.
Subject to Articles 11, 12 and 14 of the said Regulation, the duty shall be applicable for four months or until the adoption by the Council of definitive measures, whichever is the earlier.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (8) to (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94; whereas, however, the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a single programming document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required pursuant to Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopts a single decision in a single document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 94/169/EC (4), an initial list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the period from 1994 to 1996; whereas this list has been enlarged by Decision 95/47/EC (5) as regards the zones eligible for Objective 2 in Austria and Finland;
Whereas Article 9 (6) second subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 provides that, on an exceptional basis, the Commission can accede to a request from Austria, Finland or Sweden that assistance under Objective 2 be planned and implemented for the whole period from 1995 to 1999; whereas Austria has requested implementation of this provision and accordingly the assistance under Objective 2 will cover the period 1995 to 1999;
Whereas the Austrian Government has submitted to the Commission on 26 April 1995 the single programming document referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Niederösterreich; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this single programming document is eligible pursuant to Article 33 (2) second subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, as from 1 January 1995;

Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (13), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (14), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
