Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2190/96 of 14 November 1996 on detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 298/2000(2), and in particular Article 5(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1705/2001(3) fixes the indicative quantities for system B export licences other than those sought in the context of food aid.

Whereas Member States import porcine semen in accordance with the provisions of Council Directive 90 /675/EEC(2) , as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92(3) , which lays down the principles governing veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries;
Whereas the list of third countries from which Member States are authorized to import porcine semen is established in Commission Decision 93/100/EEC(4) ;

(notified under document number C(2001) 1428)
(2001/380/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 of 21 June 1999 on coordinating aid to the applicant countries in the framework of the pre-accession strategy and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89(1), and in particular Article 12(2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 of 7 June 2000 laying down financial rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period(2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 of 21 June 1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period(3), a Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development was approved by Commission Decision C(2000)3058 final on 20 October 2000 for the Republic of Bulgaria.
(2) The Government of the Republic of Bulgaria and the Commission, acting on behalf of the Euroepan Community, have signed on 18 December 2000 the Multiannual Financing Agreement laying down the technical, legal and administrative framework for the execution of the Sapard Programme.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 provides that the ex-ante approval requirement referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 may be waived on the basis of a case-by-case analysis of national and sectorial programme/project management capacity, financial control procedures and structures regarding public finance. Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 provides for detailed rules for the carrying out of said analysis.
(4) The Competent authority of the Republic of Bulgaria has appointed, on the one hand, the State Agriculture Fund for the implementation of measures "Investments in agricultural holdings", "Improving the processing and marketing of agricultural and fishery products" and "Development and diversification of economic activities, provision for multiple activities and alternative income" as defined in the Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development that was approved by Decision C(2000)3058 final for the Republic of Bulgaria and, on the other, the Ministry of Finance, Directorate National Fund, for the financial functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard programme.
(5) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, the Commission has analysed the national and sectorial programme/project management capacity, financial control procedures and structures regarding public finance and has established that, for the implementation of the aforementioned measures, the Republic of Bulgaria complies with the provisions of Articles 4 to 6 and of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, with the minimum conditions set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999. In particular, the State Agriculture Fund has implemented the following key accreditation criteria satisfactorily: written procedures, segregation of duties, pre-project and pre-payment checks, commitment and payment procedures, accounting procedures, computer systems security and internal audit; the Ministry of Finance, Directorate National Fund has implemented the following key accreditation criteria satisfactorily: audit trail, treasury management, receipt of funds, disbursement to the State Agriculture Fund, computer security and internal audit.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to waive the ex-ante approval requirement referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and to confer on the State Agriculture Fund and on the Ministry of Finance, Directorate National Fund in the Republic of Bulgaria the management of aid on a decentralised basis.
(7) However, since the verifications carried out by the Commission are based on an operational but not operating system and that it is therefore appropiate to confer the management of the Sapard Programme on the State Agriculture Fund and on the Ministry of Finance, Directorate National Fund on a provisional basis so that full conferral of management of the Sapard Programme is only envisaged after further verifications in order to ensure that the system operates satisfactorily have been carried out and after any recommendations the Commission may issue, with regard the conferral of management of aid on the State Agriculture Fund and on the Ministry of Finance, Directorate National Fund, have been implemented,
The requirement of ex-ante approval by the Commission of project selection and contracting by the Republic of Bulgaria is hereby waived.
Management of the Sapard Programme is conferred on a provisional basis to the State Agriculture Fund, 55 Hristo Botev Boulevard, 1040 Sofia, Bulgaria for the implementation of the measures "Investments in agricultural holding", "Improving the processing and marketing of agricultural and fishery products" and "Development of and diversification of economic activities, provision for multiple activities and alternative income", as defined in the Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development that was approved by Decision C(2000)3058 final and to the Ministry of Finance, Directorate National Fund, 102 Radkovski Street, 1040 Sofia, Bulgaria, for the financial functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of the Sapard programme for the Republic of Bulgaria. Upon a request of the Competent authority, the Commission may decide to extend the conferral of management to other measures identified in the Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development, once it establishes that there is compliance with the relevant conditions. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

of 24 June 1988
fixing for the 1988/89 marketing year the reference prices for pears
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1117/88 (2), and in particular Article 27 (1) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, reference prices valid for the whole Community are to be fixed before the beginning of each marketing year;
Whereas pears are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas pears harvested during a given crop year are marketed from June of one year to May of the following year; whereas the quantities marketed in June and May of the following year are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices; whereas the reference prices should therefore be fixed for the period 1 July up to and including 30 April of the following year;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas to take variations into account, the year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest, during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying the specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;
Whereas in accordance with Articles 140 (2) and 272 (3) of the Act of Accession, the prices of Spanish and Portuguese products will not be used for the purpose of calculating reference prices, during the first phase in the case of Spain and during the first stage in the case of Portugal;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
For the 1988/89 marketing year, the reference prices for pears (CN codes 0808 20 31, 33, 35 and 39) expressed in ECU per 100 kilograms net of packed products of class 1, of all sizes, shall be as follows;
July: 46,33
August: 39,34
September: 39,05
October: 42,18
November: 45,21
December: 48,49
January to April inclusive: 50,51.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1988.

of 10 February 2004
terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of sacks and bags made of polyethylene or polypropylene originating in the People's Republic of China, India, Indonesia and Thailand
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
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), and in particular Article 9 and Article 11(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) Following the publication of a notice of impending expiry of the anti-dumping measures in force on imports of sacks and bags originating in the People's Republic of China, India, Indonesia and Thailand(2), the Commission received on 8 July 2002 a request to review these measures pursuant to Article 11(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (the Basic Regulation).
(2) The request was lodged by the European Association for Textile Polyolefins (EATP) on behalf of Community producers representing 32,03 % of the total Community production of sacks and bags made of polyethylene or polypropylene.
(3) The request contained prima facie evidence showing that there would be a continuation or recurrence of injurious dumping should measures be allowed to lapse, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an expiry review.
(4) Accordingly, the Commission, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, initiated by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3) an expiry review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports into the Community of sacks and bags made of polyethylene or polypropylene, currently classifiable within CN codes 6305 32 81, 6305 33 91, ex 3923 21 00, ex 3923 29 10 and ex 3923 29 90 originating in the People's Republic of China, India, Indonesia and Thailand.
(5) The Commission officially advised the exporting producers, importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country, the representative users and the Community producers. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE REQUEST AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(6) By a letter dated 22 October 2003 to the Commission, the EATP formally withdrew its request for an expiry review concerning imports of sacks and bags made of polyethylene or polypropylene originating in the People's Republic of China, India, Indonesia and Thailand.
(7) According to Article 9(1) and Article 11(2) of the Basic Regulation, a proceeding may be terminated where the request for a review is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Community interest.
(8) It was considered that the present proceeding should be terminated since the investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Community interest. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. However, no comments were received from any party. Consequently, there is no indication that the termination of the measures would not be in the Community interest.
(9) It was therefore concluded that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of sacks and bags made of polyethylene or polypropylene originating in the People's Republic of China, India, Indonesia and Thailand should be terminated and that the existing measures should be repealed,
The anti-dumping measures concerning imports of sacks and bags made of polyethylene or polypropylene, currently classifiable within CN codes 6305 32 81, 6305 33 91, ex 3923 21 00 (TARIC code: 3923 21 00*10 ), ex 3923 29 10 (TARIC code: 3923 29 10*10 ) and ex 3923 29 90 (TARIC code: 3923 29 90*10 ) and originating in the People's Republic of China, India, Indonesia and Thailand, are hereby repealed and the proceeding concerning these imports is terminated.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
32000D0518 | 2000/518/EC: Commission Decision of 26 July 2000 pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the adequate protection of personal data provided in Switzerland (notified under document number C(2000) 2304) (Text with EEA relevance.)
| Commission Decision
of 26 July 2000
pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the adequate protection of personal data provided in Switzerland
(notified under document number C(2000) 2304)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2000/518/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data(1), and in particular Article 25(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC Member States are required to provide that the transfer of personal data to a third country may take place only if the third country in question ensures an adequate level of protection and if the Member State's laws implementing other provisions of the Directive are complied with prior to the transfer.
(2) The Commission may find that a third country ensures an adequate level of protection. In that case, personal data may be transferred from the Member States without additional guarantees being necessary.
(3) Pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC the level of data protection should be assessed in the light of all the circumstances surrounding a data transfer operation or a set of data transfer operations, and in respect of given conditions. The Working Party on Protection of Individuals with regard to the processing of Personal Data established under that Directive has issued guidance on the making of such assessments(2).
(4) Given the different approaches to data protection in third countries, the adequacy assessment should be carried out and any decision based on Article 25(6) of Directive 95/46/EC should be enforced in a way that does not arbitrarily or unjustifiably discriminate against or between third countries where like conditions prevail nor constitute a disguised barrier to trade, regard being had to the Community's present international commitments.
(5) As regards the Swiss Confederation, the legal standards on the protection of personal data have binding legal effect at both Federal and cantonal level.
(6) The Federal Constitution, which was amended by referendum on 18 April 1999 and which entered into force on 1 January 2000, gives every person the right to have his privacy respected and, in particular, to be protected from the misuse of data concerning him. The Federal Court has, on the basis of the previous Constitution, which did not contain any such provision, developed a case-law laying down the general principles applicable to the processing of personal data concerning, in particular, the quality of the data processed, the right of access of the persons concerned, and the right to request the correction or destruction of data. These principles are binding both on the Federation and on each canton.
(7) The Swiss Data Protection Act of 19 June 1992 entered into force on 1 July 1993. The implementing rules for certain provisions of the Act concerning, in particular, the right of access of the persons concerned, the notification of processing operations to the independent supervisory authority, and the transfer of data to a foreign country were laid down by order of the Federal Council. The Act applies to the processing of personal data by Federal bodies and by the entire private sector, and to processing operations carried out by cantonal bodies pursuant to Federal law, where such processing is not subject to cantonal provisions on data protection.
(8) Most of the cantons have adopted legislation on data protection for the areas for which they are competent, in particular public hospitals, education, direct cantonal taxes and the police. In the remaining cantons, such data processing is governed by regulatory acts or by the principles of cantonal case-law. Whatever the source and content of the cantonal provisions, or even if no cantonal provisions exist, cantons must adhere to the constitutional principles. In their field of responsibility, the cantonal authorities may have to transfer personal data to public authorities in neighbouring countries, mainly for the purpose of mutual assistance to safeguard important public interests or, in the case of public hospitals, to protect the vital interest of the persons concerned.
(9) On 2 October 1997, Switzerland ratified the Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data (Convention No 108)(3), which aims to reinforce the protection of personal data and to ensure free circulation between the contracting parties, subject to any exceptions which these parties may provide for. Without being directly applicable, the Convention lays down the international commitments of both the Federation and the cantons. These commitments concern not only the basic principles of protection which each contracting party must implement in its internal law but also the mechanisms of cooperation between the contracting parties. In particular, the competent Swiss authorities must provide the authorities of the other contracting parties which so request with any information on the law and administrative practice regarding data protection, and with information on any specific instance of automatic processing of data. They must also assist any person residing abroad in exercising his right to be informed about the existence of processing operations on data concerning him, the right to access his data or to ask for them to be corrected or deleted, and the right of judicial remedy.
(10) The legal standards applicable in Switzerland cover all the basic principles necessary for an adequate level of protection for natural persons, even if exceptions and limitations are also provided for in order to safeguard important public interests. The application of these standards is guaranteed by judicial remedy and by independent supervision carried out by the authorities, such as the Federal Commissioner invested with powers of investigation and intervention. Furthermore, the provisions of Swiss law regarding civil liability apply in the event of unlawful processing which is prejudicial to the persons concerned.
(11) In the interests of transparency and in order to safeguard the ability of the competent authorities in the Member States to ensure the protection of individuals as regards the processing of their personal data, it is necessary to specify in this Decision the exceptional circumstances in which the suspension of specific data flows may be justified, notwithstanding the finding of adequate protection.
(12) The Working Party on Protection of Individuals with regard to the processing of Personal Data established under Article 29 of Directive 95/46/EC has delivered Opinions on the level of protection provided by Swiss law which have been taken into account in the preparation of this Decision(4).
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 31 of Directive 95/46/EC,
For the purposes of Article 25(2) of Directive 95/46/EC, for all the activities falling within the scope of that Directive, Switzerland is considered as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the Community.
This Decision concerns only the adequacy of protection provided in Switzerland with a view to meeting the requirements of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC and does not affect other conditions or restrictions implementing other provisions of that Directive that pertain to the processing of personal data within the Member States.
1. Without prejudice to their powers to take action to ensure compliance with national provisions adopted pursuant to provisions other than Article 25 of Directive 95/46/EC, the competent authorities in Member States may exercise their existing powers to suspend data flows to a recipient in Switzerland in order to protect individuals with regard to the processing of their personal data in cases where:
(a) a competent Swiss authority has determined that the recipient is in breach of the applicable standards of protection; or
(b) there is a substantial likelihood that the standards of protection are being infringed; there are reasonable grounds for believing that the competent Swiss authority is not taking or will not take adequate and timely steps to settle the case at issue; the continuing transfer would create an imminent risk of grave harm to data subjects and the competent authorities in the Member State have made reasonable efforts in the circumstances to provide the party responsible for processing established in Switzerland with notice and an opportunity to respond.
The suspension shall cease as soon as the standards of protection are assured and the competent authority concerned in the Community is notified thereof.
2. Member States shall inform the Commission without delay when measures are adopted on the basis of paragraph 1.
3. The Member States and the Commission shall also inform each other of cases where the action of bodies responsible for ensuring compliance with the standards of protection in Switzerland fails to secure such compliance.
4. If the information collected under paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 provides evidence that any body responsible for ensuring compliance with the standards of protection in Switzerland is not effectively fulfilling its role, the Commission shall inform the competent Swiss authority and, if necessary, present draft measures in accordance with the procedure under Article 31 of Directive 95/46/EC with a view to repealing or suspending this Decision or limiting its scope.
1. This Decision may be amended at any time in the light of experience with its functioning or of changes in Swiss legislation.
The Commission shall evaluate the functioning of this Decision on the basis of available information, three years after its notification to the Member States and report any pertinent findings to the Committee established under Article 31 of Directive 95/46/EC, including any evidence that could affect the finding in Article 1 of this Decision that protection in Switzerland is adequate within the meaning of Article 25 of Directive 95/46/EC and any evidence that this Decision is being implemented in a discriminatory way.
2. The Commission shall, if necessary, present draft measures in accordance with the procedure established by Article 31 of Directive 95/46/EC.
Member States shall take all the measures necessary to comply with this Decision at the latest at the end of a period of 90 days from the date of its notification to the Member States.

(2007/773/Euratom)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, submitted after consultation of the Scientific and Technical Committee,
Having regard to the opinion of the Board of Governors of the Joint Research Centre (JRC),
Whereas:
(1) The development of nuclear medicine within the European Union contributes to the objective of ensuring human health protection. It necessitates the increased use of testing reactors for medical purposes.
(2) On 19 February 2004, the Council adopted a Decision concerning the adoption of a supplementary research programme to be implemented by the Joint Research Centre for the European Atomic Energy Community (1). That programme was adopted for a period of three years, until 1 January 2007.
(3) Within the framework of the European Research Area, the supplementary research programme involving the high flux reactor at Petten (the HFR) is one of the principal means available in the Union to contribute to the support and testing of medical diagnostic and therapeutic methods, to the development of materials sciences and to problem-solving in the field of nuclear energy.
(4) The HFR is in operable condition until at least 2015, and a new operating licence was granted to the reactor operator in February 2005. The supplementary research programme should therefore be extended for a further year to make use of the technical facilities available. The extension should take effect retroactively, to cover the ongoing activities of the programme in the period from 1 January 2007.
(5) The financial contributions necessary for this extension of the supplementary research programme will be provided by the Netherlands and France,
The supplementary research programme on the operation of the HFR (the Programme), the objectives of which are set out in Annex I, shall be extended for a period of one year, with effect from 1 January 2007.
The financial contributions estimated for the execution of the extension of the Programme shall amount to EUR 8 500 000. The breakdown of the contributions is given in Annex II.
The Commission shall be responsible for the implementation of the Programme, and to this end, it shall call upon the services of the JRC. The Board of Governors of the JRC shall be kept informed about the implementation of the Programme.
Before 15 June 2008, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament, the Council and the Economic and Social Committee a report on the implementation of this Decision.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2007.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 of 20 December 1990 (1) applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries, extended for 1994 by Regulation (EC) No 3668/93 of 20 December 1993 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90, customs duties on certain products originating in each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III are totally suspended from 1 July 1994 to 31 December 1994, and the products as such are, as a general rule, subject to statistical surveillance every three months on the reference base referred to in Article 8;
Whereas, as provided for in Article 8, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary country, threatens to cause economic difficulties 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 is equal, as a general rule, to 6,615 % of the total importations into the Community, originating from third countries in 1988;
Whereas, in the case of the product of the combined nomenclature code and origin indicated in the table below, the reference base is fixed at the levels indicated in that table:
"" ID="1">8544> ID="2">China> ID="3">9 972 500">
Whereas that reference base was reached on 11 September 1994 by charges of imports into the Community of the products in question originating in China; 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 must be re-established for the products in question,
As from 19 November 1994, the levying of customs duties, suspended from 1 July 1994 to 31 December 1994 pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90, shall be re-established on imports into the Community of the products indicated in the table below:

| COMMISSION DECISION of 12 April 1994 concerning aid to be granted by Spain to the public integrated steel company Corporaciรณn de la Siderurgia Integral (Only the Spanish text is authentic) (94/258/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular the first and second paragraphs of Article 95 thereof,
Afte consulting the Consultative Committee and with the unanimous assent of the Council,
Whereas:
I The Community steel industry is currently experiencing its most difficult period since the first half of the 1980s. This is due to the general slowdown in the economy, which has had a significant effect on industrial activities in general, and on the steel industry in particular, leading to a serious imbalance between supply and demand, accompanied by a collapse in prices. In addition, the international market generally has been weak: there is pressure from imports and there has been a trade dispute with the USA affecting substantial Community exports to that market. All of these factors have combined to aggravate the financial situation of almost all steel companies in the Community.
II In April 1992, Spain notified the Commission of a plan to restructure the Spanish public integrated steel company Corporaciรณn de la Siderurgia Integral (CSI) (incorporating Ensidesa and Altos Hornos de Vizcaya (AHV)) and the associated financing by which it intends to support this plan.
The restructuring plan submitted, as subsequently revised, envisages that AHV and Ensidesa would cease to operate and their activities would be taken over by a new company, to whom their assets and certain liabilities would be transferred; and includes a number of industrial, commercial, social and financial restructuring measures, which would be completed by the end of 1998.
The plan provides for the definitive closure by the end of 1995 of all AHV's steel-making facilities including the hot-strip mill at Ansio, which together with closures at Ensidesa's plant will involve a total capacity reduction of 2,33 million tonnes (35 %) in pig iron, 1,423 million tonnes (20 %) in liquid steel and 2,3 million tonnes (50 %) in hot-rolled coil.
A new company with majority private sector participation is envisaged to take forward a proposed investment in a compact-strip production unit at Sestao (with a capacity of 1 million tonnes), partially to replace the Ansio hot-strip mill.
The plan envisages a reduction in the workforce of 10 347 persons from 24 489 in 1991 to 14 142 in 1998, i.e. a reduction of 42 %.
The financing of the plan, as revised, includes aid elements that are incompatible with the ECSC Treaty and with the provisions of Commission Decision No 3855/91/ECSC (1) (Steel Aid Code). According to the Commission's estimates this aid amounts to a maximum of Pta 437,8 billion, serving the following purposes:
- a capital injection of up to a maximum of Pta 276,7 billion in the new company by the former public shareholders of AHV and Ensidesa,
- social aid up to a maximum of Pta 54,519 billion,
- up to a maximum of Pta 35,5 billion in the form of capital conversion of an INI credit for that amount to Ensidesa,
- up to a maximum of Pta 9,4 billion to cover contingencies,
- up to a maximum of Pta 61,654 billion in the form of loss compensation to cover additional operating losses and financial charges in 1992 and 1993 over and above those originally forecast in the plan, and reduced turnover arising from bringing forward the Ansio closure.
Additional social aid up to a maximum of Pta 47,35 billion, is being authorized separately by the Commission as compatible with Article 4 (1) of Decision No 3855/91/ECSC.
III The Commission, assisted by external experts, has assessed the viability of the restructuring plan, applying the same criteria as those imposed by the Commission during the previous restructuring of the Community steel industry. The viability if the plan without the Sestao investment has also been assessed. On the basis of the consultants' findings, the Commission has concluded that, provided the restructuring plan as revised is implemented strictly, the new company should achieve viability, under normal market conditions, by the end of 1996.
IV The extremely difficult Community steel market situation has endangered the sector in several Member States, including Spain. The aim of providing the Spanish public integrated steel industry with a sound and economically viable structure contributes towards the achievement of the objectives of the ECSC Treaty, in particular Articles 2 and 3. The Commission considers that the public financial assistance measures proposed by Spain are necessary to achieve these aims. The Commission therefore finds itself faced with a situation not specifically provided for in the Treaty. In these exceptional circumstances recourse must be made to the first paragraph of Article 95 of the Treaty, so as to enable the Community to pursue the objectives set out in the initial Articles thereof.
At the same time, however, it is essential to ensure that the aid approved is limited to what is absolutely necessary and that it does not adversely affect trading conditions within the Community to an extent contrary to the common interest, particularly given the current difficulties on the Community steel market. It is therefore important that there should be adequate counterpart measures, commensurate with the amount of aid being exceptionally approved, so that a major contribution is made to the structural adjustment required in the sector.
V The proposed creation of new hot-rolling capacity at Sestao (partially to replace the hot-strip mill at Ansio) is regarded as delinked from the aided restructuring plan through the creation of a new company, with majority private sector participation, to take forward the project. However, it must be ensured that the majority private sector participation is genuine and unconditional, unsupported by State aid. The authorization of aid in this case will therefore be contingent on the Commission obtaining the necessary verifications in due course.
As regards the capacity reductions envisaged under the plan, as revised, it is necessary to require that all the closures are definitive and irreversible so that the capacity concerned no longer depresses the Community steel market. The closed installations must therefore be scrapped or sold for use outside Europe. In addition, there should be no increase in remaining capacity for crude steel and hot-rolled finished products under the aided restructuring plan, other than resulting from productivity improvements, for a period of at least five years starting from the date of the last capacity closure, or of the last payment of aid in respect of investments under the plan, whichever is the later, in order to ensure a long-term and real effect on reducing the current imbalance between supply and demand on the Community steel market. It is also essential that the timetable for closures in complied with. In particular the closure of the hot-strip mill at Ansio must be achieved at the very latest by 31 December 1995, although Spain should use its best endeavours to bring forward the closure even sooner if possible.
VI It is not only necessary to ensure during the whole restructuring period that the aid approved enables the company to return to viability by the end of 1996, the aid must also be kept to the amount strictly necessry. In that contextx, it must also be ensured that the company does not, as a result of the financial restructuring measures, obtain an unfair advantage over other companies in the sector by being provided at the outset with net financial charges below 3,5 % of annual turnover, which is the current average for Community steel companies. It is also appropriate to require that the company or its legal successor is not allowed to claim or be granted tax reduction or relief on past losses covered by aid under the restructuring and that all proceeds from the sale of shares in the new company to the former public shareholders of AHV and Ensidesa are used to repay the remaining debts of the dormant companies as provided for in the restructuring plan. Furthermore any additional loans must be on normal commercial conditions and no preferential treatment accorded to any fresh public debts incurred.
VII The implementation of this Decision requires strict monitoring by the Commission during the whole restructuring period and up until the end of 1998.
In order to carry out this monitoring effectively, the Commission will require the full and close collaboration of Spain, on whom clear and strict reporting obligations will be imposed.
In particular the following elements will require close attention:
- the reduction of capacity,
- the investments carried out,
- reductions in the workforce,
- compliance with the timetable for closures,
- production and the effects on the market,
- financial performance,
- privatization,
- the creation of new enterprises,
- the guenine character of the majority private sector participation and the absence of State aid to finance the Sestao project,
- the source, terms and conditions of any further financing (including treatment of further debts, credit facilities, etc). over and above that provided for in the plan,
- progress towards viability.
The Commission will submit six-monthly reports to the Council to keep it informed of developments.
It is also necessary to ensure that the aid is not used for the purpose of unfair competition practices. In addition the Commission may require on-the-spot checks made in accordance with the Article 47 of the ECSC Treaty, in order to verify the information provided and in particular compliance with the conditions attached to the authorization of the aid. In that context, should a Member State make a complaint to the Commission that State aid is enabling the company to under-price, the Commission will initiate an investigation pursuant to Article 60 of the ECSC Treaty in particular.
Furthermore, should the Commission, on the basis of the information provided, find that the conditions laid down in its decisions pursuant to Article 95 had not been met, it may require the suspension of payments of aid or the recovery of aid already paid. In the event of a Member State's failing to comply with such decision, Article 88 of the ECSC Treaty shall apply.
The Commission may decide that all reports should be on a quarterly basis. It may also decide to mandate an independent consultant, selected with the agreement of Spain, to assist it in its monitoring task.
The Commission will, by exercising all its powers, ensure that the aided company fulfils the conditions of this Decision, including the necessary progress towards viability and its other obligations resulting from the financial data on which the viability assessment has been made, the Commission may require appropriate measures to be taken to reinforce the restructuring measures.
VIII A decision pursuant to Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty to authorize State aid is extraordinary in character given the provisions of Article 4 (c). In view of all the above, the Commission can exceptionally authorize the aid proposed in this case subject to observance of the conditions and requirements it lays down. However, the aid involved, which is intended to restore the company to viability by the end of 1996, should be regarded as final. Should a return to viability not be achieved by that date, Spain shall not request any further derogation under Article 95 for the company,
1. The following maximum amounts of aid which Spain plants to grant directly or indirectly to the public integrated steel company Corporaciรณn de la Siderurgia Integral, incorporating Ensidesa and Altos Hornos de Vizcaya (AHV), may be regarded as compatible with the orderly functioningh of the common market provided that the conditions and requirements of Articles 2 to 5 are met.
- a capital injection of up to a maximum of Pta 276,7 billion in the new company by the former public shareholders of AHV and Ensidesa,
- social aid up to a maximum of Pta 54,519 billion,
- a capital conversion of an INI credit to Ensidesa of up to a maximum of Pta 35,5 billion,
- contingencies up to a maximum of Pta 9,4 billion,
- loss compensation of up to a maximum of Pta 61,654 billion to cover additional operating losses and financial charges in 1992 and 1993 over and above those originally forecast in the plan, and reduced turnover arising from bringing forward the Ansio closure.
2. The aid has been calculated to enable the company to return to viability by the end of 1996. In the case that such viability is not attained by that date, Spain shall not request any further derogation pursuant to Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty for this company.
3. The aid shall not be used for the purpose of unfair competition practices.
4. Without prejudice to the aid measures referred to in this Article under the restructuring plan, any loans to the company must be on normal commercial terms; and the beneficiary company must not receive debt holidays or friendly treatment of debts to the State.
1. The following definitive closures of production capacity shall be carried out:
"(thousand tonnes)"" ID="1">Aviles> ID="2">2 400"> ID="1">Gijon> ID="3">950"> ID="1">Vizcaya> ID="2">1 980> ID="3">1 200"> ID="1">Ansio> ID="4">2 300"> ID="1">Total > ID="2">2 300 (2)> ID="3">1 423 (3)> ID="4">2 300""
>
2. All the capacity closures must be achieved in accordance with the timetable laid down in the restructuring plan at the latest, with the exception of the closure of the hot-strip mill at Ansio which must be achieved by 31 December 1995 at the very latest, although Spain should use its best efforts to bring this closure date forward if at all possible.
3. The finality of the closures referred to in paragraph 1 shall be ensured either by the demolition of the installations concerned or by their disposal by sale outside Europe.
4. The beneficiary company shall not increase its remaining capacity for crude steel and hot-rolled finished products under the restructuring plan, other than resulting from productivity improvements, for a period of at least five years starting from the date of the last capacity closure under the plan or the date of the last payment of aid in respect of investments under the plan, whichever is the later.
The approval of aid as outlined in Article 1 is in addition subject to the following conditions:
(a) the proceeds from the sale of shares in the new companx to the public shareholders of Ensidesa and AHN are used to repay the remaining debts of the dormant companies,
(b) the level of net financial charges of the new company at the outset will be set at least at 3,5 % of annual turnover,
(c) the majority private sector participation in the Sestao project, which is to be delinked from the aided restructuring plan, is undisputably demonstrated to the Commission to be genuine and unconditional in nature, unsupported by State aid,
(d) the company or its legal successor will not claim or be granted tax reduction or relief on the basis of past losses which are covered by aid under the terms of this Decision,
(e) the beneficiary company shall carry out all the restructuring measures laid down in the restructuring plan, as revised, in accordance with the timetable contained therein.
1. Spain shall cooperate fully with the following arrangements for monitoring this Decision:
(a) Spain shall supply the Commission twice a year, and not later than 15 March and 15 September respectively, with reports containing full information in accordance with the enclosed Annex, on the beneficiary company and its restructuring. The first report should reach the Commission by 15 March 1994 and the last report by 15 September 1998, unless the Commission decides otherwise;
(b) the reports shall contain full information for the Commission to monitor the restructuring process, the creation and use of capacity and show sufficient financial data to allow the Commission to assess whether its conditions and requirements are fulfilled. The reports shall at least contain full information in accordance with the Annex, which the Commission reserves the right to modify in line with its experiences during the monitoring process. It is up to Spain to oblige the beneficiary company to disclose all relevant data which may, under other circumstances, be considered as confidential.
2. The Commission shall, on the basis of the reports, draw up half-yearly reports which shall be submitted to the Council not later than 1 May and 1 November respectively, in order to allow discussion in the Council, if appropriate. If the beneficiary company envisages investments creating or extending capacity the Commission shall inform the Council on the basis of a report presenting the financing arrangements and demonstrating the absence of State aid.
1. The Commission may at any timer decide that the reports referred to in Article 4 (1) shall be on a quarterly basis if it deems such necessary to fulfil its monitoring tasks. The Commission may at any time decide to mandate an independent consultant, selected which the agreement of Spain, to evaluate the monitoring results, to undertake any research necessary and to report to the Council.
2. The Commission may have any necessary checks made in the aided companies in accordance with Article 47 of the ECSC Treaty, in order to verify the accuracy of the information given in the reports to in Article 4 (1) and in particular compliance witrh the conditions laid down in its Decision. In the case that a Member State makes a complaint that State aid is enabling the aided company to under-price, the Commission will initiate an investigation pursuant to Article 60 of the ECSC Treaty in particular.
3. In assessing the reports referred to in Article 4 (1), the Commission will ensure that the requirements of Article 1 (4), in particular, are being respected.
1. Without prejudice to any penalties it may impose by virtue of the ECSC Treaty, the Commission may require the suspension of payments of aid or the recovery of aid already paid if, on the basis of the information received, at any time it were to find that the conditions laid down in this Decision had not been met. If Spain were to fail to fulfil its obligations under any such decision, Article 88 of the ECSC Treaty shall apply.
2. Moreover, if the Commission establishes, on the basis of the reports referred to in Article 4 (1), that substantial deviations from the financial data, on which the viability assessment has been made, have occured, it may require Spain to take appropriate measures to reinforce the restructuring measures of the aided company.

| 28.1.2006 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 25/28
COUNCIL DECISION
of 24 January 2006
providing macro-financial assistance to Georgia
(2006/41/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) By Decision 97/787/EC (2) the Council provided exceptional financial assistance for Armenia and Georgia in the form of long-term loans and grants.
(2) By Decision 2000/244/EC the Council provided exceptional financial assistance for Tajikistan and extended the implementation period of the assistance to Armenia and Georgia until 2004.
(3) In case of Georgia, the objectives of the assistance have not been fully met, owing to an unsatisfactory economic policy environment in the country during most of the implementation period.
(4) Therefore, only EUR 31,5 million of the total grant component of EUR 65 million for Georgia was committed and paid under the exceptional financial assistance.
(5) The present authorities of Georgia are committed to economic stabilisation and structural reforms, supported by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) through a three-year arrangement under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) which was approved on 4 June 2004 for a total amount of SDR 98 million. Subsequently, the Paris Club creditors agreed on 21 July 2004 to a restructuring of Georgia’s bilateral official debt on the Houston terms.
(6) The new Government of Georgia also received strong support from the international community at the donors’ conference held in Brussels on 16 June 2004.
(7) The World Bank approved in June 2004 a USD 24 million Reform Support Credit, and will continue its assistance to Georgia under a new Country Partnership Strategy in the form of Poverty Reduction Support Operations.
(8) The Georgian authorities have expressed their intention to pursue early debt repayments to the Community with a view to improving debt sustainability.
(9) As EU-Georgia relations are developing within the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy, which is expected to lead to deeper economic integration, Community support for the government’s economic reform programme is considered appropriate.
(10) Making available an amount equivalent to the uncommitted grant component of the exceptional financial assistance, which would support the country’s economic reforms and help reduce external indebtedness, is an appropriate contribution by the Community to the implementation of poverty reduction and growth strategies in Georgia.
(11) In order to ensure efficient protection of the Community’s financial interests in connection with the present macro-financial assistance, it is necessary to provide for appropriate measures by Georgia in relation to the prevention of and the fight against fraud, corruption and any other irregularities linked to this assistance, as well as for controls by the Commission and audits by the Court of Auditors.
(12) The Commission services, with the support of duly mandated external experts, carried out in October 2004 an operational assessment of the financial circuits and administrative procedures at the Ministry of Finance of Georgia and the National Bank of Georgia to ascertain the existence of a framework for sound financial management.
(13) The release of this grant assistance is without prejudice to the powers of the budgetary authority.
(14) The Commission has consulted the Economic and Financial Committee before submitting its proposal.
(15) The Treaty provides for no powers, other than those of Article 308 thereof, for the adoption of this Decision,
1. The Community shall make available to Georgia macro-financial assistance in the form of straight grants up to a maximum amount of EUR 33,5 million with a view to supporting economic reforms and helping the country improve debt sustainability.
2. This Community macro-financial assistance shall be managed by the Commission in consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee and in a manner fully consistent with the agreements reached between the IMF and Georgia.
3. The Community macro-financial assistance shall be made available for two years starting from the first day after the entry into force of this Decision. However, if circumstances so require, the Commission, after consulting the Economic and Financial Committee, may decide to extend the availability period by a maximum of one year.
1. The Commission shall be empowered to agree with the authorities of Georgia, after consulting the Economic and Financial Committee, the economic policy and financial conditions attached to this assistance, to be laid down in a Memorandum of Understanding. These conditions shall be consistent with the agreements reached between the IMF and Georgia.
2. During the implementation of the Community assistance, the Commission shall monitor the soundness of Georgia’s financial circuits, administrative procedures and internal and external control mechanisms which are relevant to this Community macro-financial assistance.
3. The Commission shall verify at regular intervals that the government’s economic policies are in accordance with the objectives of this assistance and that the agreed economic policy and financial conditions are being fulfilled.
1. The grant amount shall be made available to Georgia in at least two instalments insofar as its net debtor position towards the Community has been reduced, as a rule, by at least a similar amount.
2. The first grant instalment shall be released on the basis of a satisfactory implementation of the economic programme supported by the IMF under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility.
The second and any further instalments shall be released on the basis of a satisfactory implementation of the IMF-supported economic programme and any other measures laid down in the Memorandum of Understanding referred to in Article 2(1), and not before three months have elapsed since the release of the previous instalment.
3. The funds shall be paid to the National Bank of Georgia. The final recipient of the funds will be the Ministry of Finance of Georgia.
The implementation of this assistance shall take place in accordance with the provisions of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002, of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (3) and its implementing rules. In particular, the Memorandum of Understanding referred to in Article 2(1) shall provide for appropriate measures by Georgia in relation to the prevention of and the fight against fraud, corruption and any other irregularities linked to this assistance. It shall also provide for controls by the Commission, including the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), with the right to perform on-the-spot checks and inspections, and for audits by the Court of Auditors, where appropriate, to be carried out on the spot.
At least once a year, before September, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a report including an evaluation of the implementation of this Decision in the previous year.
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0.25 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.75 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (1), and in particular Articles 7(3), 11(3), 19(3) and 23(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 17 April 2007, Syngenta Seeds SAS on behalf of Syngenta Crop Protection AG, submitted to the Commission an application, in accordance with Articles 5, 11, 17 and 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, for renewal of the authorisation for continued marketing of existing foods and food ingredients produced from Bt11 maize (including food additives), and renewal of the authorisation for continued marketing of existing feed containing, consisting of or produced from Bt11 maize (including feed additives and feed materials) and products other than food and feed containing and consisting of Bt11 maize with the exception of cultivation (the application) which were previously notified in accordance with Article 8(1)(a)(b) and Article 20(1)(a)(b) of that Regulation. The application also covers the renewal of the authorisation for the placing on the market of foods and food ingredients which are authorised under Commission Decision 2004/657/EC of 19 May 2004 authorising the placing on the market of sweet corn from genetically modified maize line Bt11 as a novel food or novel food ingredient under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). Within its application, Syngenta Seeds SAS also requested the authorisation of foods and food ingredients containing or consisting of Bt11 field maize which were never authorised in the Union.
(2) On 17 February 2009, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) gave a favourable opinion (3) in accordance with Article 6 and Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and concluded that the new information provided in the application and the review of the literature that has been published since the previous scientific opinion on Bt11 maize (4) by EFSA does not require changes and confirmed the previous conclusion that Bt11 maize is as safe as its non-genetically modified counterpart and that it is unlikely to have an adverse effect on human and animal health or the environment in the context of its proposed uses which also applies to the products which are subject of the application.
(3) In its opinion, EFSA considered all the specific questions and concerns raised by the Member States in the context of the consultation of the national competent authorities as provided for by Article 6(4) and Article 18(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003.
(4) In its opinion, EFSA also concluded that the environmental monitoring plan, consisting of a general surveillance plan, submitted by the applicant is in line with the intended use of the products.
(5) Taking into account these considerations, the fact that the company Syngenta Crop Protection AG Switzerland which absorbed Syngenta Seeds AG, addressee of Decision 2004/657/EC is the same legal entity, on behalf of which the applicant asked for the renewal of authorisation, that it confirmed that the scope of its application also covers the request for authorisation of foods and food ingredients containing or consisting of Bt11 field maize and that it intended to ask for a renewal of products covered by Decision 2004/657/EC prior to the expiration of the authorisation mentioned in that Decision so that a single Decision covering these products may be adopted which will take effect on the same date, renewal of the authorisation for continued marketing of the existing products, renewal of the authorisation of foods and food ingredients containing, consisting of or produced from Bt11 sweet maize (sweet maize fresh or canned) and authorisation of food and foods ingredients containing or consisting of Bt11 field maize should be granted. Consequently, Decision 2004/657/EC should be repealed.
(6) A unique identifier should be assigned to each GMO as provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 of 14 January 2004 establishing a system for the development and assignment of unique identifiers for genetically modified organisms (5).
(7) On the basis of the EFSA opinion, no specific labelling requirements other than those provided for in Article 13(1) and Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, appear to be necessary for foods, food ingredients and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from Bt11 maize. However, in order to ensure the use of the products within the limits of the authorisation provided for by this Decision, the labelling of feed containing or consisting of the GMO and products other than food and feed containing or consisting of the GMO for which renewal of the authorisation is requested should be complemented by a clear indication that the products in question must not be used for cultivation.
(8) The authorisation holder should submit annual reports on the implementation and the results of the activities set out in the monitoring plan for environmental effects. Those results should be presented in accordance with Commission Decision 2009/770/EC of 13 October 2009 establishing standard reporting formats for presenting the monitoring results of the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms, as or in products, for the purpose of placing on the market, pursuant to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6).

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 of 20 September 2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund For Rural Development (EAFRD) (1) and in particular Article 91 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 established a single legal framework for the EAFRD support for rural development throughout the Community. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006 (2) complemented that framework by introducing detailed implementing rules.
(2) Article 38(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 specifies that for payments linked to Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy (3), detailed rules, including the maximum amount of support, are to be fixed.
(3) Pursuant to Article 11(7) of Directive 2000/60/EC, Member States are obliged to establish a programme of measures for each river basin district by 22 December 2009. In accordance with Article 11(2) of that Directive, these measures have to comprise basic measures, including those already required to implement Union legislation for the protection of water, as referred to in Article 11(3) of that Directive and, where necessary, supplementary measures, as referred to in Article 11(4), which may consist in any of the types of measures listed in Part B of Annex VI to that Directive or in other types of measure not listed in that Annex. While voluntary measures and certain mandatory measures may already be supported under Articles 31 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, detailed rules for the implementation of Article 38(2) of that Regulation need to be defined to cover other mandatory measures.
(4) In view to avoid overlapping between the meeting standards support as referred to in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, on the one hand, which aims at compensating beneficiaries’ temporary disadvantages due to the obligation to adapt to Union standards in certain fields, and the payment under Article 38 of that Regulation linked to Directive 2000/60/EC on the other hand, which aims at compensating beneficiaries permanent disadvantages due to the obligation to comply with the specific requirements for achieving the environmental objectives of that Directive, provision making distinction on the basis of the types of operations concerned should be made.
(5) Directive 2000/60/EC provides common principles and the framework for Union action in the field of water policy. The whole Union legislation on water is coordinated in the framework of that Directive which repealed and replaced several water Directives, and whose ‘programmes of measures’ contain measures which are provided for by previous Directives on water still in force as well as additional measures needed to achieve the objectives of Directive 2000/60/EC itself. In the light of that, since part of the requirements formally related to the implementation of Directive 2000/60/EC result in substance from other Union legislation for the protection of water, and have or should already have been implemented by the Member States, the costs and income foregone possibly occurring at present as a consequence of the application of those requirements should not be considered as eligible for compensation. In addition, Article 4(9) of Directive 2000/60/EC provides that the application of the new provisions of that Directive should guarantee at least the same level of protection as the existing Community legislation. Therefore, it seems proportional and appropriate to exclude compensation of costs and income foregone with reference to the requirements related to the implementation of Directive 2000/60/EC resulting from other Union legislation for the protection of water, as well as to only grant support for requirements that go beyond the level of protection of the Union legislation existing at the time that Directive was adopted.
(6) In addition, part of the legislation related to the implementation of Directive 2000/60/EC is already included in cross compliance. Beneficiaries of the payments under Article 38 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 are already obliged to respect the statutory management requirements and the good agricultural and environmental condition provided for respectively in Articles 5 and 6 of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 (4) which has established common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy as well as certain support schemes for farmers, and in Annexes II and III to that Regulation. Therefore, no compensation should be granted with reference to requirements related to the implementation of Directive 2000/60/EC which are also cross compliance requirements.
(7) As a consequence of the implementation of Directive 2000/60/EC different levels of constraints for farmers may be introduced. Permanent compensation should be allowed only in case of serious disadvantages.
(8) The maximum amount of support should be fixed. In addition, a minimum amount of permanent support should be set to reflect that compensation should be granted only in cases of serious disadvantage, and provision should be made for going beyond the maximum amount taking account of specific circumstances to be justified in the rural development programmes.
(9) Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Rural Development Committee,
Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006 is amended as follows:
1. After Article 26 the following article 26a is inserted:
(a) were introduced by Directive 2000/60/EC, are in accordance with the programmes of measures of the river basin management plans for the purpose of achieving the environmental objectives of that Directive and go beyond the measures required to implement other Union legislation for the protection of water;
(b) go beyond the statutory management requirements and the good agricultural and environmental condition provided for in Articles 5 and 6 of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 (6) and in Annexes II and III to that Regulation;
(c) go beyond the level of protection of the Union legislation existing at the time Directive 2000/60/EC was adopted as laid down in Article 4(9) of Directive 2000/60/EC; and
(d) impose major changes in type of land use, and/or major restrictions in farming practice resulting in a significant loss of income.
(a) The amount of support shall be fixed beyond a minimum level of 50 EUR per hectare of utilised agricultural area (hereinafter UAA).
(b) The maximum amount of support shall not exceed an amount of 200 EUR per hectare of UAA.
(a) The initial maximum amount of support for a period not exceeding five years shall not exceed an amount of 500 EUR per hectare of UAA;
(b) The maximum amounts may be increased taking account of specific circumstances to be justified in the rural development programmes.
2. Annex II is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products in the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) The refunds must be fixed taking into account the factors referred to in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (2).
(3) As far as wheat and rye flour, groats and meal are concerned, when the refund on these products is being calculated, account must be taken of the quantities of cereals required for their manufacture. These quantities were fixed in Regulation (EC) No 1501/95.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.
(5) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(6) It follows from applying the detailed rules set out above to the present situation on the market in cereals, and in particular to quotations or prices for these products within the Community and on the world market, that the refunds should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, excluding malt, exported in the natural state, shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 of 26 October 1971 on the common organisation of the market in seeds(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1405/1999(2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under the above Regulation, Finland may, subject to authorisation by the Commission, grant aid for certain quantities of seeds produced solely in Finland because of its specific climatic conditions.
(2) In 1995, Finland notified a draft Decision granting State aid for the production of certain forage seeds. That aid was authorised for 1995 by Commission Decision 95/282/EC of 17 July 1995 on Finnish State aid for seeds(3). The Decision authorised State aid for up to a maximum of the average areas cultivated in Finland over the period 1989 to 1993, and covering estimated domestic requirements in 1995, for red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), timothy (Phleum pratense L.), meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis huds.), cocksfoot (Dactilis glomerata L.) and ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). Authorisation was given for varieties listed in Finland's national catalogue and which, except for small quantities cultivated in regions bordering on Finland, are produced solely in that Member State.
(3) The Finnish authorities were to send the Commission a report on the application of Decision 95/282/EC by 30 April 1996. The report was sent on 26 October 1998. Technical discussions were held between the Finnish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Commission on the report, covering the amounts of aid actually granted, the area cultivated and the production and marketing of each species and variety for which aid was granted.
(4) Finland adopted the maximum areas laid down by Decision 95/282/EC and set maximum amounts of aid for 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 on the basis that the income of producers, after receipt of the aid, should be no more than the average income of producers during the reference period from 1989 to 1993. Except for 1999, the amounts of aid were calculated and paid to producers.
(5) According to the information sent by the Finnish authorities, Finland applied Decision 95/282/EC for the 1995 to 1999 marketing years. The areas of red clover for which State aid was paid exceeded the limits laid down by the Commission in 1995 from 1997 onwards. The same occurred with meadow fescue and ryegrass in 1998. The amounts of State aid for the species concerned were reduced proportionally.
(6) The fact that State aid was set and paid to producers beyond the period authorised by the Commission makes the aid illegal, but not necessarily incompatible with the second paragraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71.
(7) On the basis of the information supplied by the Finnish Government, the Commission noted that, from 1 January 1996 to 1998, the Finnish aid was paid for varieties of seed produced in Finland because of its specific climatic conditions. The Commission also noted that, with regard to the period 1996 to 1998, the overrun, from 1997 for red clover and from 1998 for meadow fescue and ryegrass, of the maximum areas for which aid could be granted for 1995 laid down by the Commission was offset by a proportional reduction in the amount of aid. The calculations for 1999 have not yet been finalised, but a maximum amount has been set for the aid.
(8) Under these circumstances, the Commission can authorise the aid retrospectively for the period from 1996 to 1998 and authorise the maximum amount of aid for 1999 within the limit of the maximum area laid down by Decision 95/282/EC for the species other than red clover, the maximum authorised area of which should be increased by 300 hectares compared with that for the 1995 marketing year to take account of an increase in demand and the absence on the market of varieties suited to the specific climatic conditions of Finland,
The aid granted by Finland, without prior authorisation from the Commission, from 1 January 1996 to 1998 within the limits of the areas and amounts laid down in the Annex for certified seeds of varieties of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), timothy (Phleum pratense L.), meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis huds.), cocksfoot (Dactilis glomerata L.) and ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) listed in Finland's national catalogue and which, except for small quantities cultivated in regions bordering on Finland, are produced solely in that Member State is compatible with the second paragraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 and is therefore authorised.
The maximum amounts of aid or lower amounts set by Finland, without prior authorisation from the Commission, for 1999 within the limits of the areas and amounts laid down in the Annex for certified seeds of varieties of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), timothy (Phleum pratense L.), meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis huds.), cocksfoot (Dactilis glomerata L.) and ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) listed in Finland's national catalogue and which, except for small quantities cultivated in regions bordering on Finland, are produced solely in that Member State are compatible with the second paragraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 and are therefore authorised.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 18 September 2013, the company DSM Nutritional Products made a request to the competent authorities of the United Kingdom to place on the market oil rich in DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. as a novel food ingredient. The strain of the micro-algae is specified as the strain American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) PTA-9695.
(2) On 2 April 2014, the competent food assessment body of the United Kingdom issued its initial assessment report. In that report it came to the conclusion that the use of this algal oil meets the criteria for novel food set out in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(3) On 10 April 2014, the Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to the other Member States.
(4) Reasoned objections were raised within the 60-day period laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97. In particular, objections concerning elevated intake levels of DHA were raised. In accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 a Decision should be adopted taking into account the objections raised. The applicant consequently modified the request concerning the maximum amount of DHA in food supplements. This change and additional explanations provided by the applicant alleviated the concerns to the satisfaction of Member States and the Commission.
(5) Directive 2002/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) lays down requirements on food supplements. Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) lays down requirements on the addition of vitamins and minerals and of certain other substances to foods. Directive 2009/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) lays down requirements on foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses. Commission Directive 96/8/EC (5) lays down requirements on foods intended for use in energy-restricted diets for weight reduction. Commission Directive 1999/21/EC (6) lays down requirements for dietary foods for special medical purposes. Commission Directive 2006/125/EC (7) lays down requirements on processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for infants and young children. Commission Directive 2006/141/EC (8) lays down requirements on infant formulae and follow-on formulae. The use of oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. (ATCC PTA-9695) should be authorised without prejudice to the requirements of those legislations.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. (ATCC PTA-9695) as specified in Annex I may be placed on the market in the Union as a novel food ingredient for the uses defined and at the maximum levels established in Annex II without prejudice to the provisions of Directive 2002/46/EC, Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006, Directive 2009/39/EC, Directive 96/8/EC, Directive 1999/21/EC, Directive 2006/141/EC and Directive 2006/125/EC.
The designation of oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. (ATCC PTA-9695) authorised by this Decision on the labelling of the foodstuffs containing it shall be ‘oil from the micro-algae Schizochytrium sp. (ATCC PTA-9695)’.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June 1993 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning medical devices(1), as amended by Directive 98/79/EC(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Standing Committee set up in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society Services(3), as amended by Directive 98/48/EC(4),
Whereas:
(1) Article 2 of Directive 93/42/EEC stipulates that medical devices may be placed on the market and put into service only if, when normally used, they do not compromise the safety of persons.
(2) Under Article 5 of Directive 93/42/EEC, medical devices are presumed to comply with the essential requirements referred to in Article 3 of that Directive if they conform to the national standards applicable to them transposing the harmonised standards the reference numbers of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(3) Member States are required to publish the reference numbers of national standards transposing harmonised standards the reference numbers of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(4) Germany raised a formal objection in respect of harmonised standard EN 1970:2000 "Adjustable beds for disabled persons - Requirements and test methods", adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) in 2000, the reference number of which was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities on 14 November 2001(5), on the grounds that it does not fully satisfy the essential requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC, especially those relating to electrical safety, and that, in some cases, a dangerous situation can occur causing death or serious injury.
(5) On the basis of the information received in the framework of a consultation of national authorities, no specific evidence was indicated to substantiate the risk of fire in hospital beds in other Member States.
(6) Recently reported information from France indicates a number of accidents involving hospital beds, but details of the causes have not been established.
(7) Consequently, it has not been demonstrated that harmonised standard EN 1970:2000 generally fails to meet the essential requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC. However it is necessary to draw the attention to the existence of standard EN60601-2-38 "Particular requirements for the safety of electrically operated hospital beds" in relation with EN1970: 2000,
The reference of standard EN 1970:2000 "Adjustable beds for disabled persons - Requirements and test methods", adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) on 21 June 2000 and published for the first time in the Official Journal of the European Communities of 14 November 2001, shall not be withdrawn from the list of standards published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. The standard shall therefore continue to confer the presumption of conformity to the relevant provisions of Directive 93/42/EEC provided that the action in Article 2 is fulfilled.
A statement for clarification, as described in the Annex, with reference to EN1970, will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 218/84 of 18 January 1984 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2618/80 instituting a specific Community regional development measure contributing to improving security of energy supply in certain Community regions by way of improved use of new techniques for hydro-electrical power and alternative energy sources
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 724/75 of 18 March 1975 establishing a European Regional Development Fund (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3325/80 (2), and in particular Article 13 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 724/75 (hereinafter referred to as "the Fund Regulation") provides, independently of the national allocations of resources fixed by Article 2 (3) (a) of that Regulation, for participation by the Fund in financing specific Community regional development measures which are in particular linked with Community policies and with measures adopted by the Community in order to take better account of their regional dimension or to reduce their regional consequences;
Whereas, pursuant to that Article, the Council adopted on 7 October 1980 an initial series of Regulations instituting specific Community regional development measures and in particular Regulation (EEC) No 2618/80 (6) instituting a specific Community regional development measure contributing to improving security of energy supply in certain Community regions by way of improved use of new techniques for hydro-electrical power and alternative energy sources, this measure being hereinafter referred to as "the specific measure";
Whereas, pursuant to that Regulation and in particular Article 3 thereof, the Commission has approved a special programme relating to certain areas in the Mezzogiorno and has at the same time decided to allocate appropriations to that programme;
Whereas Greece has become a Member of the Community since the adoption of the specific measure ; whereas the situation in that country is also characterized by a substantial energy shortfall and heavy dependence on oil imports ; whereas, moreover, the cost of energy is particularly high in the Greek islands;
Whereas the development of those islands entails increased consumption of energy, which also stems from the operation of the water supply systems serving agriculture, industry and tourism ; whereas there is therefore a need to encourage the installation there of new generating capacity exploiting local alternative energy sources;
Whereas steps should be taken to promote the exploitation of geothermal energy, which is an important alternative source of energy in these areas ; whereas similar steps should also be taken in the areas of the Mezzogiorno affected by the specific measure;
Whereas the Member States concerned have provided the Commission with information on regional problems which would be a suitable subject for a specific Community measure;
Whereas, in order to accelerate the implementation of the special programme, the rules laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 2618/80 concerning budgetary commitments, payment of aid from the Fund and advances made from the Fund should be amended; (1) OJ No L 73, 21.3.1975, p. 1.

Whereas, in order that Greece may benefit fully from the specific measure, it is appropriate to provide that the expenditure connected with the measures envisaged and carried out by that country pending the adoption of this Regulation, during the year preceding its adoption, be, by way of an exception, deemed eligible;
Whereas additional financial resources are required to implement the specific measure thus reinforced and extended to new areas;
Whereas it is necessary that the Member State for which a special programme has already been approved should adapt that programme and that Greece should submit to the Commission a special programme in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2618/80,
Regulation (EEC) No 2618/80 is hereby amended in accordance with the following Articles.
The following subparagraph is added to Article 2:
"It shall also apply to the Greek islands, with the exception of Salamina, which is not covered by a national aid scheme."

The installations referred to above must incorporate fully developed technology and must not be eligible under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1972/83 of 11 July 1983 on the granting of financial support for demonstration projects relating to the exploitation of alternative energy sources and to energy saving and the substitution of hydrocarbons (1).
(1) OJ No L 195, 19.7.1983, p. 6."
In Article 5 (1) (a), "and for the prospection and development of geothermal fields" is inserted after "or other equipment".
Article 5 (4) is replaced by the following:
"4. Budgetary commitments relating to the financing of the special programme shall be implemented by annual tranche. The first tranche shall be committed at the time of the Commission's acceptance of the programme. The commitment of subsequent annual tranches shall be made according to budgetary availability and the progress made on the programme.
The introductory words to Article 6 (1) are replaced by the following:
"1. Aid from the Fund in favour of the measures provided for in the special programme shall be paid to the Member State concerned or directly, and in accordance with the latter's instructions, to the bodies responsible for their implementation, in accordance with the following rules:".

(Only the French text is authentic)
(2009/395/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The first subparagraph of Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Directive’) provides that the Commission shall commence a 10-year work programme for the systematic examination of all active substances already on the market on 14 May 2000 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the review programme’).
(2) Temephos was identified as available on the market before 14 May 2000 as an active substance of biocidal products for purposes other than those referred to in Article 2(2)(c) and (d) of Directive 98/8/EC. No dossier was submitted in support of the inclusion of temephos in Annex I, IA or IB to the Directive within the prescribed deadline.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2032/2003 (3), Member States had to cancel existing authorisations or registrations for biocidal products containing temephos with effect from 1 September 2006. Pursuant to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Regulation’), biocidal products containing temephos shall no longer be placed on the market.
(4) Article 5 of the Regulation lays down the conditions under which Member States may apply to the Commission for derogation from the provision laid down in Article 4(1) of the Regulation and the conditions for granting such derogation.
(5) By Commission Decision 2007/226/EC (4), the Commission granted such derogation for biocidal products containing temephos used for vector mosquito control in the French overseas departments. The derogation was granted until 14 May 2009.
(6) France has submitted an application to the Commission for extension of the derogation until 14 May 2010, together with information demonstrating a need for further use of temephos. The Commission made the French application publicly available by electronic means on 13 February 2009. No concern was expressed during the 60-days public consultation period against this application.
(7) With regard to the magnitude of the outbreaks of mosquito-spread diseases in the French overseas departments, it is appropriate to continue allowing the use of temephos in situations where treatment with other substances or biocidal products is not efficient. A further extension of the phase-out period for this substance seems, therefore, necessary to allow for its replacement by other suitable substances,
By way of derogation from Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, France may allow the placing on the market of biocidal products containing Temephos (EC No 222-191-1; CAS No 3383-96-8), for vector mosquito control in the French overseas departments until 14 May 2010.
1. When allowing the placing on the market of biocidal products containing temephos in accordance with Article 1, France shall ensure that the following conditions are complied with:
(a) continued use is only possible under the conditions that biocidal products containing temephos are approved for the intended essential use;
(b) the continued use is only accepted so far as it has no unacceptable effect on human or animal health or on the environment;
(c) all appropriate risk reduction measures are imposed when granting approval;
(d) such biocidal products remaining on the market after 1 September 2006 are relabelled in order to match the restricted use conditions;
(e) where appropriate, alternatives for such uses are being sought by the holders of the approvals or by France.
2. At the latest by 14 May 2010, France shall inform the Commission on the application of paragraph 1 and in particular on the actions taken pursuant to point (e) of that paragraph.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic. | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Whereas:
(1) Under Article 3(1)(b) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (2), intervention to regulate agricultural markets is financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF).
(2) In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78, depreciation of agricultural products in public intervention storage must take place when they are bought in. The depreciation percentage must not exceed the difference between the buying-in price and the foreseeable disposal price for each of these products. That percentage must be fixed for each product before the beginning of each accounting year. The Commission may also restrict the depreciation at the time of buying-in to a fraction of this depreciation percentage, but that fraction may not be less than 70 % of the overall depreciation.
(3) Points 1, 2 and 3 of Annex VIII to Commission Regulation (EC) No 884/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the financing by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) of intervention measures in the form of public storage operations and the accounting of public storage operations by the paying agencies of the Member States (3) lay down the methods for calculating the depreciation.
(4) Coefficients for certain products to be applied by the intervention agencies to the monthly buying-in values of those products in the 2008 accounting year should therefore be fixed, to enable the agencies to establish the depreciation amounts.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
In respect of the products listed in the Annex which, having been bought in by public intervention, are stored or taken over by the intervention agencies between 1 October 2007 and 30 September 2008, the intervention agencies shall apply to the values of the products bought in every month the depreciation coefficients set out in the Annex.
The expenditure amounts, calculated by taking account of the depreciation referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, shall be notified to the Commission under the declarations established in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2006 (4).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2007.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3066/95 of 22 December 1995 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for the adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreements to take account of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round Multilateral Trade Negotiations (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1595/97 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2345/97 of 24 November 1997 providing for the reduction of the tariff rate applicable to imports under the WTO tariff quota for certain live bovine animals (4), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1462/95 of 27 June 1995 opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for young male bovine animals for fattening (1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996) (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 425/96 (6), provides for a reduction in the rate of customs duty applicable to imports in 1995/1996 of certain live animals originating in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria to ECU 399 per tonne;
Whereas pursuant to Regulations (EC) No 3066/95 and (EC) No 1926/96 the Commission was authorised to reduce the rate of customs duty to ECU 399 per tonne for certain live animals from the abovementioned countries plus Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, imported during the period 1 July 1996 to 30 June 1997 pursuant Commission Regulation (EC) No 1119/96 of 21 June 1996 opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for young male bovine animals for fattening (1 July 1996 to 30 June 1997) (7), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 29/97 (8); whereas the said reduction should be granted to the imports in question;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1095/96 of 18 June 1996 on the implementation of the concessions set out in Schedule CXL drawn up in the wake of the conclusion of the GATT XXIV(6) negotiations(2), and in particular Article 1(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Schedule CXL requires an annual import quota to be opened for 53000 tonnes of frozen beef covered by CN code 0202 and products covered by CN code 0206 29 91. Implementing rules should be laid down for the 2001/02 quota year starting on 1 July 2001.
(2) For the allocation of the quota the method laid down in the third indent of Article 32(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 should be applied, avoiding discrimination between the traders concerned. Access to the quota should therefore be extended to those traders known as "new arrivals".
(3) Traditional importers should consequently be allocated 70 % of the quota, i.e. 37100 tonnes, in proportion to the quantities imported by them under the same type of quota during the period 1 July 1997 to 30 June 2000. In certain cases administrative errors by the competent national body are liable to restrict traders' access to this part of the quota. Steps should be taken to make good any resulting damage.
(4) Traders who can show that they are genuinely involved in trade of some significance should be granted access to the second part of the quota, i.e. 15900 tonnes, in accordance with a procedure whereby the parties concerned submit applications to be accepted by the Commission. Proof of genuine involvement in trade calls for evidence to be presented of trade of some significance in beef and veal with non-member countries during the period 1 July 1998 to 30 June 2000.
(5) In 1999 Belgian beef and veal exports were severely affected by discussion of dioxin. As far as the figure of 15900 tonnes is concerned, Belgium's situation as regards exports should be taken into account when the criteria relating to results are determined.
(6) If such criteria are to be checked, applications must be submitted in the Member State where the importer is entered in the national VAT register.
(7) In order to prevent speculation:
- traders no longer involved in trade in beef and veal at 1 June 2001 should be denied access to the quota,
- a security relating to import rights should be fixed,
- the possibility of transferring import licences should be excluded,
- the issue of import licences to traders should be limited to the import rights allocated to them.
(8) To oblige traders to apply for import licences for all the import rights allocated, it should be established that obligation constitutes a primary requirement within the meaning of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of securities for agricultural products(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1932/1999(4).
(9) Save as otherwise provided in this Regulation, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agricultural products(5) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 24/2001(7), are applicable to import licences issued under this Regulation.
(10) Effective management of the quota and fraud prevention in particular require used licences to be returned to the competent authorities so they can check that the quantities shown therein are correct. The competent authorities must accordingly be under an obligation to carry out such checks. The security to be lodged when licences are issued should be fixed at a level that ensures licences are actually used and returned to the competent authorities.
(11) The Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
1. A tariff quota totalling 53000 tonnes expressed in weight of boneless meat is hereby opened for frozen meat of bovine animals covered by CN code 0202 and products covered by CN code 0206 29 91 for the period 1 July 2001 to 30 June 2002.
The serial number of the tariff quota shall be 09.4003.
For the purposes of the said quota, 100 kilograms of bone-in meat shall be equivalent to 77 kilograms of boneless meat.
2. For the purposes of this Regulation, "frozen meat" means meat which is frozen and has an internal temperature of -12 °C or lower when it enters the customs territory of the Community.
3. The Common Customs Tariff duty applicable to the quota provided for in paragraph 1 shall be 20 % ad valorem.
1. The quota provided for in Article 1 shall be divided into two parts as follows:
(a) the first, equalling 70 % or 37100 tonnes, shall be apportioned among Community importers in proportion to the quantities imported by them under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1042/97(8), (EC) No 1142/98(9) and (EC) No 995/1999(10).
However, the Member States may accept as the reference quantity import rights for the preceding year which were not allocated because of an administrative error by the competent national body but to which the importer would have been entitled;
(b) the second, equalling 30 % or 15900 tonnes, shall be apportioned among traders who can prove that they have been engaged for a certain period in trade in beef and veal with non-member countries, involving a minimum quantity other than the quantities taken into consideration under (a) and excluding meat which is the subject of inward or outward processing arrangements.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1(b), the 15900 tonnes shall be allocated to traders who can furnish proof that they have:
- imported at least 220 tonnes of beef in the period 1 July 1998 to 30 June 2000 other than quantities imported under Regulations (EC) No 1142/98 and (EC) No 995/1999, or
- exported at least 450 tonnes of beef in the same period.
For this purpose, "beef" means products covered by CN codes 0201, 0202 and 0206 29 91, and the minimum reference quantities shall be expressed in terms of product weight.
Notwithstanding the second indent, the period of export for established traders entered in the VAT register in Belgium since 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1999.
3. The 15900 tonnes referred to in paragraph 2 shall be allocated in proportion to the quantities applied for by eligible traders.
4. Proof of import and export shall be furnished solely by means of customs documents of release for free circulation and export documents.
Member States may accept copies of the abovementioned documents duly certified by the competent authorities.
1. Traders who were no longer engaged in trade in beef and veal at 1 June 2001 shall not qualify under the arrangements provided for in this Regulation.
2. Companies arising from mergers where each constituent undertaking has rights pursuant to Article 2(1)(a) shall enjoy the same rights as the undertakings from which they are formed.
1. Together with the proof referred to in Article 2(4), applications for import rights shall be submitted before 11 June 2001 to the competent authority in the Member State where the applicant is entered in the national VAT register. Where an applicant submits more than one application under either of the arrangements referred to in Article 2(1)(a) or (b), all such applications shall be inadmissible.
Applications pursuant to Article 2(1)(b) shall not cover more than 50 tonnes of frozen boneless meat overall.
2. After the documents submitted have been verified, the Member States shall forward the following to the Commission before 25 June 2001:
- in respect of the arrangements under Article 2(1)(a), a list of eligible applicants, including in particular their names and addresses and the quantities of eligible meat imported during the reference period concerned,
- in respect of the arrangements under Article 2(1)(b), a list of eligible applicants, including in particular their names and addresses and the quantities applied for and an indication as to whether proof of import or export was furnished.
3. All communications, including nil returns, shall be sent by fax using the forms in Annexes I and II.
1. The Commission shall decide as soon as possible on the extent to which quantities covered by applications may be accepted.
2. Where the quantities covered by applications for import rights exceed the quantities available, the Commission shall reduce the quantities applied for by a fixed percentage.
1. The security relating to the import rights shall be EUR 6 per 100 kilograms net weight. It must be deposited with the competent authority together with the application for import rights.
2. Import licence applications must be made for the quantity allocated. This obligation shall constitute a primary requirement within the meaning of Article 20(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85.
3. If the decision on allocation by the Commission in accordance with Article 5 results in application of a reduction percentage, the security provided shall be released for the import rights applied for in excess of the rights allocated.
1. Imports of the quantities allocated shall be subject to presentation of one or more import licences.
2. Licence applications may be lodged solely:
- in the Member State where the applicant has applied for import rights,
- by traders allocated import rights. Import rights allocated to traders shall entitle them to import licences for quantities equivalent to the rights allocated.
3. Following decisions on allocation by the Commission in accordance with Article 5, import licences shall be issued on application and in the names of the traders who have obtained import rights.
4. Licence applications and licences shall contain the following entries:
(a) one of the following entries in section 20:

1. Regulations (EC) Nos 1291/2000 and (EC) No 1445/95 shall apply, save where otherwise provided in this Regulation.
2. Notwithstanding Article 9(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1291/2000, import licences issued pursuant to this Regulation shall not be transferable and shall confer the right to use the tariff quotas only if made out in the nature entered on the declaration of release for free circulation accompanying them.
3. Pursuant to Article 50(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1291/2000, the full Common Customs Tariff duty applicable on the date of release for free circulation shall be collected in respect of all quantities imported in excess of those shown on the import licence.
4. Import licences shall be valid for 90 days from their date of issue as defined in Article 23(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1291/2000. However, no licence shall be valid after 30 June 2002.

The Member States shall inform the Commission at the earliest opportunity of the results of their investigations.

of 13 December 2007
on a transitional measure relating to the treatment of the by-products of winemaking provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for the 2007/08 wine year in Bulgaria
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 41 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 27(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), any natural or legal person or group of persons having made wine is required to deliver for distillation all the by-products of that winemaking. Since the accession of Bulgaria to the Community on 1 January 2007, that requirement also applies to wine producers in that Member State although the practice is not traditional in Bulgaria.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 (2) lays down detailed rules for the implementation of this obligation to distil and Article 49 thereof provides for certain possible exemptions.
(3) Despite the measures already established by Bulgaria, the distilleries in that Member State do not have sufficient capacity to distil all by-products. Bulgaria should therefore be authorised to exempt certain categories of producers from the obligation to distil by-products of winemaking.
(4) In order that the exception granted to Bulgaria may be applied to the entire wine year, this Regulation should apply from 1 August 2007.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
By way of exemption from Article 49(4)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000, Bulgaria may lay down that, for the 2007/08 wine year, producers who do not exceed a production level of 7 500 hl obtained by them on their individual premises may fulfil the obligation to deliver by-products for distillation by having those products withdrawn under supervision.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 August 2007.
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 |

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1071/77 of 17 May 1977 amending Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 laying down special measures for linseed and fixing the guide price for linseed for the 1977/78 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 of 15 March 1976 laying down special measures for linseed (1), and in particular Article 1 (1) and (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, in order to facilitate the changeover from the system of aid for seed flax to the new system of aid for linseed set up by Regulation (EEC) No 569/76, Article 2 (2) of that Regulation laid down that the aid for linseed for seed flax for the 1976/77 marketing year could not be less than 125 units of account per hectare;
Whereas, taking into account the market situation for this product, the complete removal of any guarantee of income threatens to impair the development of the production of seed flax in the Community ; whereas, in order to overcome this problem, minimum aid should be maintained for one more marketing year, albeit at a lower amount;
Whereas, when the guide price for linseed is fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the contribution which the Community desires to make to the harmonious development of world trade ; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are, in particular, to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community and to ensure that supplies are available and reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the first subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 provides more specifically that this price shall be fixed at a level which is fair to producers, account being taken of the supply requirements of the Community ; whereas, to this end, a balanced relationship should be maintained between this price and the price of other oil seeds;
Whereas in accordance with these criteria the guide price should be fixed at a higher level than that adopted for the preceding marketing year;
Whereas the guide price must be fixed for a standard quality to be determined by reference to the average quality of seeds harvested in the Community ; whereas the quality laid down for the 1976/77 marketing year meets this requirement and can accordingly be used for the following marketing year,
Article 2 (2), second subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 is hereby amended to read as follows:
"However, if for the 1976/77 and 1977/78 marketing years, as a result of the application of the above subparagraph, the amount of aid for flax grown mainly for seed is less than 125 and 105 units of account respectively per hectare of area sown and harvested, the amount of aid to be granted shall be fixed: - for the 1976/77 marketing year, at 125 units of account per hectare,
- for the 1977/78 marketing year, at 105 units of account per hectare."
For the 1977/78 marketing year, the guide price for linseed shall be 31 718 units of account per 100 kilogrammes.
The price referred to in Article 2 relates to seed: - in bulk, of sound, fair and marketable quality, and
- with an impurity content of 2 % and, for the seed as such, humidity and oil contents of 9 % and 38 % respectively. (1)OJ No L 67, 15.3.1976, p. 29. (2)OJ No C 93, 18.4.1977, p. 11. (3)OJ No C 77, 30.3.1977, p. 15.

Whereas, in the context of a common policy relating to the field of science and technology, research programmes are one of the principal means whereby the European Atomic Energy Community can contribute to the safe use of nuclear energy and to the acquisition and dissemination of information in this field;
Whereas the Joint Research Centre (JRC), as an integral component of the Community's R & D strategy defined in the framework programme, must retain its institutional role of providing the Commission with neutral and independent scientific and technical support in the implementation of Community policies;
Whereas, whilst contributing to the general objective of strengthening the scientific and technological basis of European industry and encouraging it to become more competitive at international level, the JRC has as one of its tasks, in accordance with its terms of reference and on the basis of its technical expertise, to advise the Commission when laying down technical regulations and standards for the development and application of new technologies, on the environmental compatibility of such technologies and their possible negative effects on the quality of life;
Whereas, for the period covered by this Decision, the implementation of the specific research programmes will continue to be the JRC's predominant task, although the use of other forms of action will occupy an increasingly important part of the JRC's activity;
Whereas the JRC is in a position to contribute to the process of reducing the gap in technological development between the different parts of the Community and thereby to contribute to the strengthening of its economic and social cohesion;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate that the JRC should develop and strengthen its collaboration with research institutes in the Member States;
Whereas it is important to provide for the adequate dissemination of the results of the JRC's specific research programmes whilst having due regard for the necessity to safeguard the Community's technological achievements and industrial property rights in respect of the results of research;
Whereas, in particular the European Parliament and the Council should be kept well informed of the JRC's activities;
Whereas the role of the board of governors of the JRC will be strengthened by the Commission to enable the board to play a more effective part in the future organization of the Centre, its staff and financial management, and in the implementation of its research programmes,
1. This Decision, which sets out the research activities of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) for the period 1988 to 1991, is hereby adopted with effect from 1 January 1988.
2. The research activities referred to in paragraph 1 are the implementation of the Community framework programme in research and technological development set out in Decision 87/516/Euratom, EEC by means of specific research programmes and preparatory research.
3. The scientific and technical content of the specific research programmes referred to in paragraph 2 is outlined in Annex A.
The funds estimated as necessary for the execution of the activities referred to in Article 1 (2) amount to 448,3 million ECU, including expenditure on a staff of 1 162, reducing to 905 in 1991.
A breakdown of the amount of 448,3 million ECU between the various specific programmes to be executed is given in Annex A.
The Commission, assisted by the board of governors of the JRC, shall be responsible for carrying out this Decision and, to this end, shall call upon the services of the JRC.
The Commission shall decide on the terms of reference of the board of governors.
The Commission shall ensure, in cooperation with the board of governors, that periodic consultation be maintained with the relevant management and coordination advisory committees or equivalent committees with a view to ensuring coordination and consistency of approach between shared-cost actions and JRC activities in the same areas.
The research work implemented by the JRC pursuant to this Decision shall be evaluated by a panel of independent external experts set up by the Commission after consulting the board of governors.
The evaluation will cover the scientific, technical and economic results of research undertaken, its user-relevance, and its contribution to the overall objectives of Community research and development policy. The evaluation will also cover the impact of the administrative and financial restructuring of the JRC and of the new system for monitoring the special and general costs of the institutes. The evaluation will be carried out having regard to the programme objectives set out in Annex B to this Decision and in conformity with the provision of Article 2 (2) of Decision 87/516/Euratom, EEC. The evaluation shall be submitted by the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council, together with the opinion of the board of governors of the JRC, at the end of 1989 and at the end of the period covered by this Decision.
The Commission shall each year before 31 March submit to the European Parliament and the Council a report on the implementation of this Decision. This report shall be accompanied by the observations of the board of governors. The board of governors may also submit through the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council a separate report on any aspect of the implementation of this Decision.

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
1. The sale shall take place of approximately:

Whereas, as provided for in Article 8 of that Regulation, where the increase of preferential imports of these products, originating in one or more beneficiary countries, threatens to cause economic difficulties 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 is equal, as a general rule, to 6,3 % of the total importations into the Community, originating from third countries in 1988;
Whereas, in the case of the products falling within CN codes 7407 and 7408, originating in Poland, the reference base is fixed at ECU 11 707 000; whereas that reference base was reached on 10 July 1991 by charges of imports into the Community of the products in question originating in Poland; 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 for the products in question must be reintroduced with regard to Poland,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 103 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2);
Whereas the implementation of a Community energy policy is one of the objectives that the Communities have set themselves ; whereas security of supply is a priority of Community energy policy;
Whereas electricity is a form of energy vital to modern society and its contribution to the Community's total energy requirements is on the increase;
Whereas the security of electricity supplies in the Member States of the Community can be improved by limiting the use of petroleum products in power stations;
Whereas the construction and the conversion of power stations using exclusively or mainly oil products should therefore be subject to an authorization by the authorities of the Member States;
Whereas electricity can be produced economically from various sources of primary energy;
Whereas conventional power stations can be equipped with multi-firing boilers using two or more fuels, including coal,
1. The contruction of new power stations which will use oil fuels exclusively or mainly as well as the conversion of existing power stations to burn such fuels exclusively or mainly shall be subject to prior authorization by the authorities of the Member State responsible for this power station.
2. Authorization may be granted only in the following cases: - if the power station has a capacity of less than 10 MWe or is intended exclusively for the production of peak or reserve energy;
- if the petroleum products are used solely to ignite and to maintain the combustion of other products and if their total energy contribution remains small;
- if the petroleum fuel is a residual product that cannot be more efficiently employed for other purposes;
- if supplies of other fuels cannot be ensured or if their use cannot be considered for economic, technical or safety reasons;
- if special reasons relating to the protection of the environment necessitate the use of petroleum products in a power station.
3. Before granting authorization, the authorities of the Member States shall determine whether it is advisable, with a view to security of fuel supply, to equip the power station concerned for dual-firing, allowing the use of coal as a substitute fuel.
Any authorization granted by a Member State pursuant to Article 1 shall be notified to the Commission, accompanied by a detailed statement of the reasons justifying the action taken.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 31 December 1975 and shall inform the Commission thereof. (1)OJ No C 125, 16.10.1974, p. 59. (2)OJ No C 93, 7.8.1974, p. 79.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 77/98
of 9 January 1998
on certain procedures for applying the Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Council has concluded a Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (1), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’;
Whereas it is necessary to lay down the procedures for applying certain provisions of the Agreement;
Whereas the Agreement stipulates that certain products originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia may be imported into the Community, within the limits of tariff quotas or tariff ceilings or in the framework of reference quantities, at a reduced or a zero rate of customs duty; whereas the Agreement already specifies the products eligible for those tariff measures, their volumes and annual increase of the volumes, their duties, periods and any eligibility criteria; whereas amendments to the Combined Nomenclature and Taric codes and adaptations arising from the conclusion of agreements, protocols or exchanges of letters between the Community and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia do not involve changes of substance; whereas, in the interest of simplicity, provision should therefore be made for the Commission, assisted by the Customs Code Committee, to adopt the implementing regulations opening and providing for the administration of the tariff quotas and tariff ceilings, to establish the Community statistical surveillance system for imports in the framework of reference quantities as well as to make the necessary amendments and technical adaptations to the annexes of the implementing Regulations;
Whereas the Agreement provides for the Community to have the possibility to replace a reference quantity by an equal tariff ceiling when a reference quantity is exceeded; whereas in these circumstances, provision should be made for the Commission to adopt the necessary measures;
Whereas, as soon as a tariff ceiling is reached, the Community may reintroduce, until the end of the calendar year, the customs duties applicable to third countries in respect of the product concerned; whereas, with a view to protecting the interests of Community producers, those measures may need to be adopted on a very short timescale; whereas the Agreement provides for the Community to have the possibility to suspend a tariff ceiling if, during two consecutive years, imports of a product listed in Annex C thereto have been less than 80 % of the ceiling volume; whereas the Agreement also provides for the Community to have the possibility to extend for a period of one year the ceiling or ceilings set for the preceding year if it is considered appropriate to postpone the annual increase by 5 % of the ceiling volume; whereas provision should therefore be made for the Commission to adopt those measures rapidly,
Provisions for the application of Article 15(2) of the Agreement, concerning cattle, sheep and goats and beef, sheepmeat, goatmeat and sour cherries, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 27 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (2) or in the corresponding provisions of other regulations establishing a common organization of the agricultural markets.
1. Without prejudice to Article 1, provisions for the application of tariff quotas, tariff ceilings and reference quantities provided for in Annexes C and D to the Agreement and in Annex I to the Protocol to the Agreement on additional trade arrangements for certain iron and steel products, including the replacement of reference quantities by tariff ceilings as provided for by Article 15(5) of the Agreement, as well as amendments and technical adaptations made necessary by amendments to the Combined Nomenclature and Taric codes or arising from the conclusion of agreements, protocols or exchanges of letters between the Community and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, shall be adopted by the Commission, assisted by the Customs Code Committee, in accordance with the procedure set out in paragraph 2 of this Article.
2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit which the chairman may lay down according to the urgency of the matter. The opinion shall be delivered by the majority laid down in Article 148(2) of the Treaty in the case of decisions which the Council is required to adopt on a proposal from the Commission. The votes of the representatives of the Member States within the committee shall be weighted in the manner set out in that Article. The chairman shall not vote.
The Commission shall adopt measures which shall apply immediately. However, if these measures are not in accordance with the opinion of the committee, they shall be communicated by the Commission to the Council forthwith. In that event:
(a) the Commission may defer application of the measures which it has decided for a period of not more than one month from the date of such communication;
(b) the Council, acting by a qualified majority, may take a different decision within the time limit referred to in point (a).
3. The Committee may examine any question concerning the application of tariff quotas, tariff ceilings and reference quantities, which is raised by its chairman either at the latter's initiative or at the request of a Member State.
1. As soon as a tariff ceiling is reached, the Commission may adopt a regulation re-establishing, until the end of the calendar year, the customs duties applicable to third countries in respect of imports of the products concerned.
2. If, during two consecutive years, imports of a product listed in Annex C to the Agreement have been less than 80 % of the amount laid down, the Commission may adopt a regulation suspending the tariff ceiling in question.
3. The Commission may adopt a regulation extending for a period of one year the tariff ceiling or ceilings set for the preceding year if it is considered appropriate to postpone the annual increase by 5 % of the tariff ceiling volume.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the date of entry into force of the Agreement. That date will be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2699/2000(2), and in particular Article 31(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 544/97 of 25 March 1997 introducing certificates of origin for garlic imported from certain third countries(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2520/98(4), contains a list of third countries. The release for free circulation of garlic from those countries is conditional on the presenttion of a certificate of origin issued by the competent national authorities of those countries in accordance with Articles 55 to 65 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2787/2000(6).
(2) Articles 63, 64 and 65 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 provide that the third countries concerned are to forward certain information necessary for setting up a procedure for administrative cooperation between the Community departments and the authorities in those countries.
(3) Some of the countries listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 544/97, namely Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, Vietnam and Malaysia, have still not sent the Commission the information needed for setting up administrative cooperation as provided for in Articles 63, 64 and 65 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
(4) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1859/93(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/94(8), provides that garlic may be released for free circulation in the Community on presentation of import licences issued by the Member States concerned.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1536/2007
of 20 December 2007
on initiating a ‘new exporter’ review of Council Regulation (EC) No 1659/2005 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain magnesia bricks originating in the People’s Republic of China, repealing the duty with regard to imports from one exporter in this country and making these imports subject to registration
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (the basic Regulation) (1) and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST FOR A REVIEW
(1) The Commission has received an application for a ‘new exporter’ review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. The application was lodged by Yingkou Dalmond Refractories Co., Ltd (the applicant), an exporting producer in the People’s Republic of China (the country concerned).
B. PRODUCT
(2) The product under review is chemically bonded, unfired magnesia bricks, whose magnesia component contains at least 80 % MgO, whether or not containing magnesite originating in the People’s Republic of China (the product concerned), currently classifiable within CN codes ex 6815 91 00, ex 6815 99 10 and ex 6815 99 90 (TARIC codes 6815910010, 6815991020 and 6815999020). These CN codes are given only for information.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(3) The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1659/2005 (2) under which imports into the Community of the product concerned originating in the People’s Republic of China, including the product concerned produced by the applicant, are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty of 39,9 % with the exception of several companies specially mentioned which are subject to individual duty rates.
D. GROUNDS FOR THE REVIEW
(4) The applicant alleges that it operates under market economy conditions as defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation or alternatively claims individual treatment in conformity with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation, that it did not export the product concerned to the Community during the period of investigation on which the anti-dumping measures were based, i.e. the period from 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004 (the original investigation period) and that it is not related to any of the exporting producers of the product which are subject to the above mentioned anti-dumping measures.
(5) The applicant further alleges that it has begun exporting the product concerned to the Community after the end of the original investigation period.
E. PROCEDURE
(6) Community producers known to be concerned have been informed of the above mentioned application and have been given an opportunity to comment.
(7) Having examined the evidence available, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a ‘new exporter’ review, pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, with a view to determining whether the applicant operates under market economy conditions as defined in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation or alternatively whether the applicant fulfils the requirements to have an individual duty established in accordance with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation and, if so, the applicant’s individual margin of dumping and, should dumping be found, the level of the duty to which their imports of the product concerned into the Community should be subject.
(8) If it is determined that the applicant fulfils the requirements to have an individual duty established, it may be necessary to amend the rate of duty currently applicable to imports of the product concerned from companies not individually mentioned in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1659/2005.
(a) Questionnaires
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
(c) Market economy status
(d) Selection of the market economy country
F. REPEAL OF THE DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS
(9) Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned which are produced and sold for export to the Community by the applicant. At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a finding of dumping in respect of the applicants, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively from the date of the initiation of this review. The amount of the applicant’s possible future liabilities cannot be estimated at this stage of the proceeding.
G. TIME LIMITS
(10) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
— interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit the replies to the questionnaire mention in Article 4(1) of this Regulation or provide any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,
— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission,
— interested parties may comment on the appropriateness of the United States of America which, in the event that the applicant will not be granted market economy status, is envisaged as a market-economy country for the purpose of establishing normal value in respect of the People’s Republic of China,
— the applicant should submit a duly substantiated claim for market economy status.
H. NON-COOPERATION
(11) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
(12) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, of the facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially, and use of facts available is made, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.
I. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
(13) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and the Council on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (3).

The anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1659/2005 is hereby repealed with regard to the imports identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.
The customs authorities of the Member States are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Article 3 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (3) provides for a specific measure in the event that a Member State chooses to establish production regions which do not correspond to the base areas, in order to ensure that the yields resulting from the plan applied in 1993 are complied with; whereas, in the case of the new Member States, which were not subject to this measure in 1993, it is necessary to ensure that the yields resulting from the plan applied in the first year of accession are complied with;
Whereas, within the framework of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the European Community has concluded agreements with certain third countries on certain oilseeds; whereas those agreements were approved in Council Decisions 93/355/EEC (4) and 94/87/EC (5); whereas those agreements have been applied within the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92;
Whereas the aforementioned agreements provide that, in the event of an enlargement of the Community, the area used to calculate the oilseeds maximum guaranteed area is to be increased by an area not greater than the average area harvested in each new Member State in the three years immediately preceding accession;
Whereas it is necessary to allocate to the new Member States national reference areas for oilseeds;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 introduces a support scheme for producers of certain arable crops; whereas certain legislative provisions of the scheme applicable prior to that Regulation have therefore redundant; whereas, in order to clarify and simplify Community legislation, those provisions should be repealed,
Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 is hereby amended as follows:
1. the second sentence of Article 3 (6) shall be replaced by the following:
'If it emerges from this information that, in a Member State, the average yield resulting from the regionalization plan applied in 1993, in accordance with paragraph 2, or, in the case of the new Member States, the average yield resulting from the plan applied in 1995, is exceeded, all compensatory payments to be made in that Member State for the following marketing year shall be produced in proportion to the overrun which has been recorded.` 2. in Annex IV '5 128 000` shall be replaced by '5 482 000`.
3. the following shall be added to Annex V:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1104/2003(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 of 15 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1633/2000(4), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund shall be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient shall 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. On the basis of the information supplied by Ireland on the period from 1 January to 31 December 2002, the average ageing period in 2002 was five years for Irish whiskey. The coefficients for the period from 1 October 2003 to 30 September 2004 should therefore be fixed accordingly.
(2) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area(5) precludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Community has concluded with certain third countries agreements abolishing export refunds. According to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, this should be taken into account in the calculation of the coefficients for the period 2003/2004.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
For the period from 1 October 2003 to 30 September 2004 the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 which are applicable to cereals used in Ireland in the production of Irish whiskey shall be as specified in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 October 2003.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 of 5 March 1990 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the ACP States or in the overseas countries and territories (OCT) (1), and in particular Articles 1, 17 and 27 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1069/89 (3),
Whereas Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 provides for a reduction of ECU 0,5 per 100 kilograms in the levy applicable to imports of molasses falling within CN code 1703 and originating in the ACP States or the OCT and lays down that it is not to be charged when it is ECU 0,5 per 100 kilograms or less; whereas this preferential system applies up to an overall limit of 600 000 tonnes per marketing year, hereinafter called 'the quota;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the said 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 the necessary measures should be taken to ensure efficient Community administration of this quota while providing the opportunity to draw from the quota volume the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission;
Whereas Protocol 1 annexed to the Fourth ACP-EEC LomĂŠ Convention defines the concept of 'originating product' and the methods of administrative cooperation applicable to the product in question;
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 may be carried out by any one of its members;
Whereas Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 repeats provisions which have been applied since 2 June 1989; whereas because a system of administration for the quota has not been established, those concerned have until now been unable to request the grant of preferential terms; whereas it is appropriate to lay down measures applicable from that date;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1. The levy applicable to imports into the Community of molasses originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States or the overseas countries and territories shall be reduced to the level laid down in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90, subject to the limit specified therein, as follows:
1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CN code // Description // Amount of quota in tonnes per marketing year (1) // Reduction in the levy (2) // // // // // // 09.1631 // 1703 10 00 1703 90 00 // Cane molasses Other molasses // 600 000 // ECU 0,5 per 100 kg // // // // //
(1) Amount applicable from 1 July of one year to 30 June of the following year.
(2) The levy shall not be charged when it is ECU 0,5 per 100 kg or less.
2. For the application of this Regulation the definitions of the concept of 'originating product' and of the methods of administrative cooperation shall be those laid down in Protocol 1 annexed to the Fourth ACP-EEC LomĂŠ Convention.
The 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.
1. To obtain the preferential benefit, the importer must present the competent authorities of the importing Member State with a declaration of entry into free circulation including a request for the benefit for the product covered by this Regulation. If this declaration is accepted by the competent authorities of that Member State, those authorities shall communicate to the Commission the requests for drawing from the quota involved.
2. The requests for drawing, bearing the date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into free circulation, shall be communicated to the Commission without delay.
3. The drawings are granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of the declarations of entry into free circulation by the competent authorities of the importing Member State, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
Any drawing not used shall be returned as soon as possible to the quota for the marketing year for which it was allocated.
When 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. The Commission shall inform Member States of the drawings made as quickly as possible.

Whereas application of the abovementioned Regulation has revealed difficulties in the use of such authorizations in the case of certain coupled combinations of vehicles;

'Community authorization shall accompany the tractor; it shall also cover coupled combinations of vehicles even if the trailer or semi-trailer is not registered or put into circulation in the name of the holder of the authorization or is registered or put into circulation in a different Member State.
Each Community authorization may be used for only one vehicle at a time. It shall be produced at the request of any authorized inspecting officer.'
2. the following shall be added to the fifth paragraph of Annex I (b) and Annex Ia (b):

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations of prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.
(4) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(5) Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However, Protocol 19 to the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003, exported in the form of goods listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 respectively, are fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 1 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3744/87, the Commission has sought the advice of major organizations familiar with the problems of the most deprived persons in the Community when drawing up this Decision,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69 of 18 December 1969 laying down special measures to encourage the processing of certain varieties of oranges (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3391/87 (2), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69 lays down that the special measures to encourage the processing of oranges are to apply in 1987/88 to 3 000 tonnes of fresh Shamouti oranges, to be apportioned among the producer countries; whereas that quantity should accordingly be apportioned on the basis of production in 1984/85, 1985/86 and 1986/87, the last three marketing years;
Whereas special provisions should also be laid down to ensure that the quantities concerned are apportioned fairly between processors and that a certain quantity is allocated to new processors; whereas processors should accordingly provide particulars in addition to those specified in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85 of 7 June 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of measures to encourage the processing of oranges and the marketing of products processed from lemons (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1715/86 (4);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Reguation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
The total quantity of 3 000 tonnes of fresh Shamouti oranges eligible for aid for processing under Article 3a of Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69 is hereby apportioned between producer Member States as follows:
1.2 // - Greece: // 100 tonnes, // - Portugal: // 2 900 tonnes.
1. Processors shall, not later than 1 January 1988, communicate to the agency designated by the competent authorities of the Member States concerned the total quantity of fresh Shamouti oranges used and the net weight of the finished products obtained in 1984/85, 1985/86 and 1986/87 respectively.
2. In exceptional cases, which must be duly substantiated to the satisfaction of the Member State concerned, communications may be accepted by a Member State which were received after the time limit specified in paragraph 1, provided that the arrangements for financial compensation are not adversely affected as a result.
1. The quantities of products eligible for Community aid shall be fixed, for each processor in the Member State concerned, as a percentage of his production in the marketing years used for the purpose of calculating the average total production referred to in paragraph 3.
2. The percentage referred to in paragraph 1 shall be the share of the average total production of the producer Member State concerned, expressed as the quantity of products used, to which the limit on the grant of production aid applies.
The quantities to which the limit on the granting of production aid applies shall be the quantities specified in Article 1, less 2 %. The latter 2 % shall be apportioned between processors as laid down in Article 4.
3. Average total production shall be taken to mean the following total net weight of the processed products in relation to the quantity of fresh products purchased for the manufacture of processed products:
(a) in the case of processors who produced during the last three marketing years or the first of those three marketing years: one third of their total production during that period;
(b) in the case of processors who produced during the last two marketing years or the first of those two marketing years, one half of their total production during that period;
(c) in the case of processors who produced during the preceding marketing year only: their total production during that marketing year.
1. Processors who have not provided the particulars referred to in Article 2 in respect of the reference marketing year(s) used for apportioning the quotas shall be deemed to be new processors within the meaning of paragraph 2.
Where a processor has provided the said particulars in respect of one of the reference marketing years used for apportioning the quotas but not for one or both of the two following marketing years he shall be deemed not to have been a producer during the marketing year(s) for which no particulars were provided.
2. Where processors did not produce the products referred to in Article 2 (1) during the reference period, or where the provisions of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 are applied, the aid payable to those processors, hereinafter 'new processors', shall be limited to the equivalent of 2 % of the total quota.
The competent authorities of the Member States concerned shall determine the quantity which is thus likely to be eligible for aid and shall apportion it fairly between new processors. If all or part of that quantity is not allocated to new processors that quantity or, as the case may be, the part thereof which remains shall be apportioned fairly between the other processors.
3. If an undertaking decides not to process all or part of the quantity allocated to it or if an undertaking ceases production and is not taken over by another undertaking the quantity thus released shall be apportioned fairly between the other processors by the competent authorities.
1. The applications for financial compensation shall be drawn up by the processors in accordance with Articles 12 and 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85.
2. Articles 2 to 11, 15, 16, 17 and 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the processors referred to in Article 2.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 (3) opens an overall annual import tariff quota of 3 112 030 tonnes of common wheat of a quality other than high quality. That quota is divided into four subquotas.
(2) Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 divides subquota III (order number 09.4125) into four quarterly subperiods and has fixed the quantity at 594 596 tonnes for subperiod 4, for the period from 1 October to 31 December 2012.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (3), and in particular Article 3 (1) thereof,
Whereas with effect from 1 September 1995 Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 makes presentation of an export licence with advance fixing of the refund compulsory for exportation of products on which an export refund is requested, whereas specific rules for the application of this provision in the wine sector should therefore be laid down, covering in particular the submission of applications and the information that must be given on applications and licences; whereas these rules will be complementary to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common detailed rules for application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1199/95 (5);
Whereas Article 55 (7) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 requires compliance with the obligations regarding export volumes arising from agreements concluded as a result of the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations to be ensured on the basis of export licences; whereas precise rules should therefore be laid down on the lodging of applications and issuing of licences;
Whereas decisions on licence applications should be notified only after a reflection period enabling the Commission to assess the quantities applied for and the expenditure involved and if necessary to take particular action in regard to the applications pending;
Whereas the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81 of 27 November 1981 laying down special detailed rules in respect of import and export licences in the wine sector (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1649/95 (7), require updating to take account of the changes made, as a result of the entry into force of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture (8), in the Regulations on detailed rules of application for import and export licences and advance fixing certificates and on export refunds on agricultural products;
Whereas the security for export licences must be set at a high enough level to ensure effective operation of the new arrangements;
Whereas to manage these arrangements the Commission must have precise information on licence applications lodged and use of licences issued; whereas administrative efficiency calls for the use of a single form for communications between Member States and the Commission;
Whereas, to prevent disruption in exports when the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture enters into force in the wine sector, it should be made possible for licences to be applied for and issued before that date on condition that they are usable only with effect from it;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
Pursuant to the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, hereinafter referred to as 'the Agreement`, this Regulation lays down supplementary rules applying to the issuing of export licences for wine sector products with advance fixing of the refund.
1. Applications for export licences with advance fixing of the refund may be lodged with the competent authorities of the Member States from 1 August 1995. Irrespective of their date of issue these licences shall be valid from 1 September 1995 and this shall be indicated on the licence.

1. Applications for export licences a referred to in Article 2 may be lodged with the competent authorities from Wednesday until the following Tuesday.
2. Export licences shall be issued on the Monday following the Tuesday referred to in paragraph 1, or the next working day, provided that the Commission has not taken other specific measures in the meantime.
3. If the quantities for which licence applications have been made, as notified to the Commission on a specific day in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (1), exceed or risk exceeding the annual commitment level provided for under the Agreement, the Commission shall set a single percentage by which the quantities applied for are accepted and/or suspend the lodging of licence applications.
4. If issuing of the licences applied for is likely to bring about the early exhaustion of the annual quantity commitment provided for under the Agreement or an overshoot of the expenditure commitments, the Commission may reject applications for which the export licences have not yet been granted and suspend the lodging of licence applications for a maximum of 10 working days, reserving the possibility of a renewal of the suspension to be decided in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 83 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87.
5. In cases where the quantity applied for is refused or reduced the security referred to in Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81 against the quantity refused shall be immediately released.
6. Notwithstanding paragraph 2, in the event that a single acceptance percentage of less than 85 % is set, licences shall be issued by the fifth working day at the latest following publication of that percentage in the Official Journal of the European Communities. Prior to issue the exporter may:
- either withdraw his application, in which case the security referred to in Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81 shall be immediately released,
- or request the immediate issue of the licence, in which case the competent authority shall issue it without delay but no later than the fifth working day following publication of that percentage in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 2 (2), the final subparagraph is replaced by the following:
