32008R0509 | Commission Regulation (EC) No 509/2008 of 6 June 2008 fixing the final complementary quantity of raw cane sugar originating in the ACP States and India for supply to refineries for the marketing year 2007/08
| 7.6.2008 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 149/59
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 509/2008
of 6 June 2008
fixing the final complementary quantity of raw cane sugar originating in the ACP States and India for supply to refineries for the marketing year 2007/08
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 29(4),
Whereas:
(1) Article 29(4) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that, during the 2006/07, 2007/08 and 2008/09 marketing years and in order to ensure adequate supply to Community refineries, import duties on a complementary quantity of imports of raw cane sugar originating in the States referred to in Annex VI to that Regulation are to be suspended.
(2) That complementary quantity should be calculated in accordance with Article 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 950/2006 of 28 June 2006 laying down detailed rules of application for the 2006/07, 2007/08 and 2008/09 marketing years for the import and refining of sugar products under certain tariff quotas and preferential agreements (2), on the basis of an exhaustive Community forecast supply balance for raw sugar.
(3) For the 2007/08 marketing year, the balance indicates the need to import a complementary quantity of raw sugar for refining of 286 597 tonnes in white sugar equivalent so that the Community refineries’ supply needs can be met. This complementary quantity includes an estimation of applications for import licences in the final months of the 2007/08 marketing year, concerning imports referred to in Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1100/2006 of 17 July 2006 laying down, for the marketing years 2006/07, 2007/08 and 2008/09, detailed rules for the opening and administration of tariff quotas for raw cane sugar for refining, originating in least developed countries, as well as detailed rules applying to the importation of products of tariff heading 1701 originating in least developed countries (3).
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1545/2007 of 20 December 2007 fixing the complementary quantity of raw cane sugar originating in the ACP States and India for supply to refineries in the period from 1 October 2007 to 30 September 2008 (4) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 97/2008 of 1 February 2008 fixing a complementary quantity of raw cane sugar originating in the ACP States and India for supply to refineries for the marketing year 200708 (5) already fixed complementary quantities of respectively 80 000 tonnes and 120 000 tonnes. It is therefore appropriate to fix the final quantity of complementary sugar of 86 597 tonnes for the marketing year 2007/08.
(5) Adequate supply of the refineries can only be guaranteed if the traditional export agreements between the beneficiary countries are respected. Therefore a breakdown between the beneficiary countries or group of countries is needed. For India, a quantity of 6 000 tonnes is opened which brings the total quantity for the marketing year 2007/08 for India to 20 000 tonnes which is considered an economically viable shipping quantity. The remaining quantities should be fixed for the ACP States, which have collectively undertaken to implement between themselves procedures for the allocation of the quantities in order to ensure the appropriate supply of the refineries.
(6) Prior to the import of this complementary sugar, the refiners need to make supply and shipping arrangements with the beneficiary countries and trade. In order to allow them to prepare for the application for import licences in due time, it is appropriate to provide for the entry into force of this Regulation as from the date of its publication.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
In addition to the quantities laid down in Regulations (EC) No 1545/2007 and (EC) No 97/2008, a final quantity of 86 597 tonnes of complementary raw cane sugar in white sugar equivalent is fixed for the marketing year 2007/08:
(a) 80 597 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in the States listed in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 except India;
(b) 6 000 tonnes expressed as white sugar originating in India.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.333333 | 0 |
31999R0745 | Council Regulation (EC) No 745/1999 of 30 March 1999 opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products
| COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 745/1999
of 30 March 1999
opening and providing for the administration of autonomous Community tariff quotas for certain fishery products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Community supplies of certain fishery products currently depend on imports from third countries; whereas it is in the Community's interest to suspend in part or in whole the customs duties for the products in question, within Community tariff quotas of an appropriate volume; whereas, in order not to jeopardise the development prospects of this production in the Community and to ensure an adequate supply to satisfy user industries, it is advisable to open those quotas, applying customs duties varied accordingly to sensitivity of the different products on the Community market;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure that all Community importers have equal and uninterrupted access to the said quotas and to ensure the uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for the quotas to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quotas have been used up;
Whereas it is for the Community to decide on the opening of autonomous tariff quotas; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of these quotas, there is no reasonable obstacle to authorising the Member States to draw from the quota-volumes the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas, however, this method of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas 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(1) codified the management rules for tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of customs declarations,
1. The import duties on the products listed in the Annex shall be suspended at the indicated duty rate for the periods and in the amounts indicated therein.
2. Imports of the products in question shall not be covered by the quotas referred to in paragraph 1 unless the free-at-frontier price, which is determined in accordance with Article 22 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 of 17 December 1992 on the common organisation of the market in fishery and aquaculture products(2), is at least equal to the reference price fixed, or to be fixed, by the Community for the products under consideration of the categories of the products concerned.
The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a to 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 April 1999.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 0 |

amending Regulation (EEC) No 648/86 as regards the regulatory amounts for 1985/86 for imports of certain wine sector products from Spain into the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 480/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules of application of the regulatory amounts applicable to trade in certain wine sector products between the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 and Spain (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas, as a result of a clerical error, the regulatory amounts for concentrated grape must and concentrated grape juice and rectified concentrated grape must which are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 648/86 (2) are not those which should be applied; whereas that error should therefore be corrected;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
The regulatory amounts specified in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 648/86 for:
- white concentrated grape must and white concentrated grape juice,
- red or rosĂŠ concentrated grape must and red or rosĂŠ concentrated grape juice, and
- rectified concentrated grape must,
shall be 55 ECU/hl, 33 ECU/hl and 84 ECU/hl respectively.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 March 1986.

32005D0852 | Council Decision 2005/852/CFSP of 29 November 2005 for the destruction of small arms and light weapons (SALW) and their ammunition in Ukraine
| 1.12.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 315/27
COUNCIL DECISION 2005/852/CFSP
of 29 November 2005
for the destruction of small arms and light weapons (SALW) and their ammunition in Ukraine
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to Council Joint Action 2002/589/CFSP of 12 July 2002 on the European Union’s contribution to combating the destabilising accumulation and spread of small arms and light weapons (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof, in conjunction with Article 23(2) of the Treaty on European Union,
Whereas:
(1) In the past Ukraine had a large military industrial complex, held in the third largest nuclear weapons arsenal in the world, and served as a base for the USSR’s strategic reserves of arms and ammunition.
(2) Some estimates suggest that Ukraine holds as much as 7 million Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) and 2 million tonnes of ammunition, much of which dates from the previous world wars. These large quantities of SALW and ammunition not only represent a huge surplus in terms’ of Ukraine’s current armed forces levels but also include large numbers of unserviceable and hazardous items of ammunition.
(3) The EU-Ukraine Action Plan was adopted by the EU-Ukraine Cooperation Council on 21 February 2005 and calls upon both parties to jointly address threats for security, public health and environment, posed by Ukrainian stockpiles of old ammunition, inter alia, anti-personnel land mines.
(4) The NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA), under the terms of the Partnership for Peace (PfP) Trust Fund, is managing a twelve year project aimed at the destruction of 1,5 million surplus SALW and 133 000 tonnes of conventional ammunition to be executed in four phases.
(5) The European Union considers that a financial contribution to the first phase of this project would help Ukraine to reduce the risks related to the accumulation of large quantities of SALW and ammunition and accommodate the level of SALW and ammunition to its current armed forces levels.
(6) On 18 May 2005 the Parliament of Ukraine ratified the Convention on the prohibition of the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel mines and on their destruction, (Ottawa Convention).
(7) The European Union therefore intends to offer financial support to Ukraine in accordance with Title II of Joint Action 2002/589/CFSP. Adequate visibility of this financial support, including by appropriate measures taken by NAMSA will be assured,
1. The European Union shall support the destruction of small arms and light weapons (SALW) and their ammunition in Ukraine.
2. To this end, the European Union shall provide financial support to the NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) during the first phase of its twelve year project aiming at the demilitarisation of 400 000 SALW, 15 000 tonnes of conventional munitions and 1 000 MANPADs.
3. The European Union contribution shall finance:
— purchase and installation of the pollution abatement system for the explosive waste incinerator,
— demilitarisation of weapons,
— purchase of two furnaces for melting weapons,
— purchase and installation of remotely controlled band saws for cutting explosive ordnance,
— purchase of a hydraulic press,
— up to 7 % of the direct costs of the project.
4. NAMSA shall procure the supply, installation and commissioning of the necessary demilitarisation and other equipment from commercial or government entities based in NATO countries or from those that qualify under the Partnership for Peace (PfP) Trust Fund policy, in addition to similar entities from EU Member States and Ukraine. Where appropriate, equipment supply contracts shall include provision for training to be given to the Ukrainian operators of the equipment, either in Ukraine or in the country from which the equipment is procured.
1. The financial reference amount for the implementation of the actions referred to in Article 1(3) shall be EUR 1 000 000, to be funded from the 2006 general budget of the European Union.
2. For the purpose of implementing the actions referred to in Article 1(3), the Commission shall conclude a financing agreement with NAMSA on the conditions for use of the European Union contribution, which shall take the form of a grant. The specific financing agreement to be concluded shall stipulate that NAMSA shall ensure visibility of the European Union contribution, appropriate to its size.
3. The Commission shall supervise the proper implementation of the EU financial contribution referred to in this Article. To this end the Commission shall be entrusted with the task of controlling and evaluating the financial aspects of the implementation of this Decision as referred to in this Article.
4. The management of the expenditure financed by the general budget of the European Union specified in paragraph 1 shall be subject to the procedures and rules of the Community applying to budget matters, with the exception that any pre-financing shall not remain the property of the Community.
The Presidency, assisted by the Secretary-General of the Council/High Representative for the CFSP, shall be responsible for the implementation of this Decision and shall report to the Council on its implementation. The Commission shall be fully associated in these tasks and in particular it will provide information on the implementation of the financial aspects. This will be based on regular reports to be provided by NAMSA under its contractual relationship with the Commission, as stipulated in Article 2(2).
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its adoption. It shall expire twelve months after the financing agreement between the Commission and NAMSA has been concluded.
This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union. | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.2 | 0.2 |

Whereas:
(1) Commission Directive 2002/70/EC of 26 July 2002 establishing requirements for the determination of levels of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in feedingstuffs (2), lays down specific provisions concerning the methods of analysis to be applied for the official control provided for in Directive 70/373/EEC.
(2) The sampling procedure laid down in Commission Directive 76/371/EEC of 1 March 1976 establishing Community methods of sampling for the official control of feedingstuffs (3) has to be applied for the official control of the levels of dioxins and the determination of dioxin-like PCBs in certain feedingstuffs. It is appropriate to specify that the quantitative requirements in relation to the control of substances or products uniformly distributed throughout the feedingstuffs should be applied.
(3) It is of major importance that analytical results are reported and interpreted in a uniform way in order to ensure a harmonised implementation approach in all Member States.
(4) Directive 2002/70/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annexes to Directive 2002/70/EC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive 12 months after the entry into force at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3878/87
of 18 December 1987
on the production aid for certain varieties of rice
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3877/87 (2), and in particular Article 8a(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas Article 8(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 lays down that an aid is to be granted for the production in the Community of certain varieties of rice; whereas, in order to promote the guidance towards and varietal conversion of rice production to certain types of rice for which greater demand exists, in particular in the non-producer Member States, provision should be made for the morphological and qualitative characteristics to be determined on the basis of these objectives;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 8(a)(2) of the abovementioned Regulation, the aid is to be granted by the Member States per hectare of the area sown and harvested; whereas, in this respect, it is reasonable to accept that all areas that have been soon and in respect of which normal cultivation work is carried out will be harvested;
Whereas the proper functioning of the aid arrangements requires control by the Member States to ensure that the aid is only granted for the areas concerned and for such products as may be the subject of the aid; whereas such control can only be carried out effectively during the period of ripening; whereas for this purpose, provision should be made for each Member State concerned to introduce a system of declarations in respect of such areas,
1. The aid provided in Article 8a of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 shall be granted by the Member State for the production of certain varieties of rice of the indica type or profile grown in the areas referred to in Annex A to this Regulation and under the conditions set out in the following Article.
2. Areas of paddy rice shall be considered as sown and harvested within the meaning of Article 8a of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/75 where such areas are the subject of normal cultivation work for the purposes of production and where the rice reaches the ripening stage.
1. The aid referred to in Article 1 shall be granted for those varieties of paddy rice of the Indica type or profile listed in Annex B, the grains of which have the following morphological characteristics after the husk has been removed:
(a) grain length of 6,6 mm;
(b) length/with ratio of not less than 3;
(c) total absence of pearl or striation in the case of at least 60 % of the grains of milled rice sampled.
This aid shall be granted for the first time in respect of rice sown during the 1987/88 marketing year.
2. As from the 1988/89 marketing year, the varieties in question must also display glutinosity, consistency and amylose content charactistics to be defined in accordance with the procedure referred to in paragraph 3, as well as the characteristics defined in paragraph 1.
3. The rules for application of this Article and for amending the list of varieties set out in Annex B shall be decided on in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76.
1. The Member States shall introduce a system of administrative and physical control to ensure that the product in respect of which the aid has been applied for meets the conditions required for the granting of the aid.
2. The Member States shall introduce a system of declarations in respect of the areas under cultivation and of the varieties of certified seeds used. These declarations shall be deemed to be the application for aid.
Member States shall carry out systematic on-the-spot checks of the exactitude of the declarations referred to in Article 3 (2) in the month preceding the harvest.
The amount of the aid to be paid shall be calculated on the basis of the area under cultivation.
Producer Member States shall communicate to the Commission, the measures taken pursuant to this Regulation and information on, in particular, the which have benefitted from the aid.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1988.
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 |

| COMMISSION DECISION
of 13 December 1989
amending Decision 89/218/ECSC concerning aid that the Italian Government proposes to grant to the public steel sector
(only the Italian text is authentic)
(90/89/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular to Article 95 (1) and (2) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 89/218/ECSC of 23 December 1988 concerning aid that the Italian Government proposes to grant to the public steel sector (1), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,
Having consulted the Consultative Committee and with the unanimous assent of the Council,
Whereas:
The sustained growth of the steel market during the first half of 1989 has led to a temporary tightening of the possibility of buying slabs within the Community at an economic price level. It appears therefore reasonable to extend the closure deadline for the Bagnoli liquid steelmaking facility laid down in Article 2 (3) of Decision 89/218/ECSC in order to allow the Italian public steel sector to carry out this closure in an orderly way without excessive detrimental consequences for the continued operation, according to plan, of the Bagnoli mill for strips, a product for which the Italian deficit in the intra-Community trade has been increasing during the same period.
Well-founded technical reasons linked to delays, for which ILVA cannot be held accountable, in the planned investments for the transfer of a substantial part of the production of the Sesto S. Giovanni bar mill and the Turin cold-rolling mill, call for a certain extension of the 31 March 1989 closure deadline as laid down in Article 2 (3) of Decision 89/218/ECSC, which, in respect of the Sesto S. Giovanni mill, is of a fairly short duration.
Imperative commercial reasons have brought about the need to allow some extension to the 31 March 1989 deadline for the selling off of the Lovere steel plant as laid down in Article 3 (2) of Decision 89/218/ECSC.
The release, in accordance with Article 6 (4) of Decision 89/218/ECSC, of aid segments in addition to those referred to in Article 6 (3) must be brought into line with the new calendar set for the closure and transfer conditions,
Decision 89/218/ECSC is hereby amended as follows:
1. the closure deadline of '31 March 1989' for the Sesto S. Giovanni bar/rod mill laid down in Article 2 (3), in conjunction with Article 2 (1), is replaced by '30 September 1989';
2. the closure deadline of '31 March 1989' for the Turin cold-rolling mill laid down in Article 2 (3), in conjunction with Article 2 (1), is replaced by '31 December 1990';
3. the closure deadline of '30 June 1989' for the liquid phase of Bagnoli laid down in Article 2 (3), in conjunction with Article 2 (1), is replaced by '31 December 1990';
4. the deadlines of '31 March 1989' and '30 June 1989' laid down in Article 3 (2), in conjunction with Article 3 (1), for respectively the selling off or, in the absence of sale, closure of the Lovere steel plant is replaced by '31 December 1989' as the common date for selling off and, in the absence of sale, closure of that plant;
5. Article 6 (4) is replaced by the following:
'4. Further aid segments will be released by the Commission in line with the fulfilment of the closure and transfer conditions, taking account of the need to observe the ultimate deadline laid down in paragraph 5.'

(2) In view of the public holidays in 2007 and the irregular appearance of the Official Journal of the European Union during those holidays, the period between the submission of applications and the day on which the licences are to issue will be too brief to guarantee proper administration of the market and should therefore be extended.

| Commission Regulation (EC) No 119/2003
of 23 January 2003
fixing the export refunds on pigmeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1365/2000(2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and prices for these products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in pigmeat that the refund should be fixed as set out below.
(3) In the case of products falling within CN code 0210 19 81, the refund should be limited to an amount which takes account of the qualitative characteristics of each of the products falling within these codes and of the foreseeable trend of production costs on the world market. It is important that the Community should continue to take part in international trade in the case of certain typical Italian products falling within CN code 0210 19 81.
(4) Because of the conditions of competition in certain third countries, which are traditionally importers of products falling within CN codes 1601 00 and 1602, the refund for these products should be fixed so as to take this situation into account. Steps should be taken to ensure that the refund is granted only for the net weight of the edible substances, to the exclusion of the net weight of the bones possibly contained in the said preparations.
(5) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 according to destination.
(6) The refunds should be fixed taking account of the amendments to the refund nomenclature established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1007/2002(4).
(7) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to circulate freely within the Community. Therefore, to be eligible for a refund, products should be required to bear the health mark laid down in Council Directive 64/433/EEC(5), as last amended by Directive 95/23/EC(6), Council Directive 94/65/EC(7) and Council Directive 77/99/EEC(8), as last amended by Directive 97/76/EC(9).
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
The list of products on which the export refund specified in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 is granted and the amount of the refund shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.
The products concerned must comply with the relevant provisions on health marks laid down in:
- Chapter XI of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC,
- Chapter VI of Annex I to Directive 94/65/EC,
- Chapter VI of Annex B to Directive 77/99/EEC.

(e) when the invalidity fee is paid, the registration number and the name of the holder of the registered Community design against which the application is directed, and the purpose of the payment, namely "invalidity fee".
2. If the purpose of the payment cannot immediately be established, the Office shall require the person making the payment to notify it in writing of this purpose within such period as it may specify. If the person does not comply with the request in due time, the payment shall be considered not to have been made. The amount which has been paid shall be refunded.
Deemed date of payment
1. The date on which any payment shall be considered to have been made to the Office shall be as follows:
(a) in the cases referred to in Article 5(1)(a), the date on which the amount of the payment is actually entered in a bank account held by the Office;
(b) in the case referred to in Article 5(1)(b), the date of the receipt of the cheque at the Office, provided that the cheque is met;
(c) in the cases referred to in Article 5(1)(c), the date of receipt of the amount of the cash payment.
2. Where the President allows, in accordance with the provisions of Article 5(2), other methods of paying fees than those set out in Article 5(1), he shall also lay down the date on which such payments shall be considered to have been made.
3. Where, pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 2, payment of a fee is not considered to have been made until after the expiry of the period in which it was due, it shall be considered that this period has been observed if evidence is provided to the Office that the person who made the payment:
(a) in a Member State, within the period within which the payment should have been made:
(i) effected the payment through a banking establishment; or
(ii) duly gave an order to a banking establishment to transfer the amount of the payment; or
(iii) dispatched at a post office or otherwise a letter bearing the address of the Office and containing a cheque within the meaning of Article 5(1)(b), provided that the cheque is met; and
(b) paid a surcharge of 10 % on the relevant fee or fees, but not exceeding EUR 200;
no surcharge is payable if a condition according to subparagraph a has been fulfilled not later than 10 days before the expiry of the period for payment.
4. The Office may request the person who made the payment to produce evidence as to the date on which a condition according to paragraph 3(a) was fulfilled and, where required, to pay the surcharge referred to in paragraph 3(b), within a period to be specified by it. If the person fails to comply with this request or if the evidence is insufficient, or if the required surcharge is not paid in due time, the period for payment shall be considered not to have been observed.
Insufficiency of the amount paid
1. A time limit for payment shall, in principle, be considered to have been observed only if the full amount of the fee has been paid in due time. If the fee is not paid in full, the amount which has been paid shall be refunded after the period for payment has expired.
2. The Office may, however, in so far as this is possible within the time remaining before the end of the period, give the person making the payment the opportunity to pay the amount lacking or, where this is considered justified, forego any small amounts lacking without prejudice to the rights of the person making the payment.
Refund of insignificant amounts
1. Where an excessive sum is paid to cover a fee or a charge, the excess shall not be refunded if the amount is insignificant and the party concerned has not expressly requested a refund.
The President shall determine what constitutes an insignificant amount.
2. Determinations by the President pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be published in the Official Journal of the Office.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 6 October 1993 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or non-alloy steel, originating in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic
(93/526/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 92/229/EEC of 25 February 1992 on the conclusion by the European Economic Community of the Interim Agreement between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, of the other part, on trade and trade-related matters (2) and in particular Articles 37, 38 and 44 of the Interim Agreement,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. PROVISIONAL MEASURES (1) By Regulation (EEC) No 3296/92 (3), the Commission imposed provisional anti-dumping duties on imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or non-alloy steel, originating in the former Czech and Slovak Federal Republic (now the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic), Hungary, Poland and the Republic of Croatia. The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 545/93 (4), extended these duties for a period not exceeding two months.
B. DEFINITIVE MEASURES (2) By Regulation (EEC) No 1189/93 (5), the Council imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or non-alloy steel, originating in Hungary, Poland and the Republic of Croatia and the Commission, by Decision 93/260/EEC (6), accepted undertakings offered in connection with this anti-dumping proceeding by exporters in the abovementioned countries.
(3) In recital 49 of Regulation (EEC) No 1189/93 the Council concluded that in the light of the negotiations of trade arrangements with the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic regarding certain sensitive steel products including the seamless tubes covered by this proceeding, it was not appropriate to take protective measures with regard to those two countries.
C. CONCLUSION OF TRADE ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC (4) Following Decisions of the EEC-Czech Republic and Slovak Republic Joint Committee of 28 May 1993 (7), acting in accordance with the Interim Agreement, concerning the export of certain steel products from the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic to the Community, the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 1968/93 (8) opened and provided for the administration of tariff quotas in respect of certain steel products covered by the EEC Treaty, including the products subject to this proceeding, originating in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic imported into the Community.
(5) The Commission considers that the effect of the tariff quota system on imports of the products concerned as set out in Regulation (EEC) No 1968/93 would be that the injurious consequences of the dumped imports originating in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic would be eliminated.
D. TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING (6) Accordingly, it is apparent that protective measures with regard to the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic are unnecessary and that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or non-alloy steel, originating in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic should be terminated without anti-dumping measures being imposed.
(7) No objections to this conclusion were raised in the Advisory Committee.
(8) The complainant and the interested parties concerned were informed of the essential facts and principal considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding concerning the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic and, did not object,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or non-alloy steel, falling within CN codes 7304 10 10, 7304 10 30, 7304 31 99, 7304 39 91 and 7304 39 93, originating in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic, is hereby terminated. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |

The balance of the amount withheld on the aid as provided for in Article 20d of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be divided between the producer organizations on the basis of the quantity of olive oil for which the aid is granted through each organization.
Without prejudice to Article 11 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84, in cases where an association, having discharged all its responsibilities under Community rules, has not used the entire sum raised by the financing arrangement referred to in (a), it must distribute the balance among the producer organizations which make it up on the basis of the number of members of such organizations.'
4. The second indent of Article 8 (4) is replaced by the following:

(1) The import duties in the cereals sector are fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2280/2004 (3).
(2) Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 provides that if during the period of application, the average import duty calculated differs by EUR 5 per tonne from the duty fixed, a corresponding adjustment is to be made.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/65/EEC of 13 July 1992 laying down animal health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of animals, semen, ova and embryos not subject to animal health requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A(I) to Directive 90/425/EEC (1), and in particular Article 17(3)(a) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2009/156/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing the movement and importation from third countries of equidae (2), and in particular Article 12(1) and (4), point (a) of Article 15, Article 16(2), and the introductory phrase of Article 19 and points (a) and (b) of Article 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2009/156/EC lays down animal health conditions for the importation into the Union of live equidae. It provides that imports of equidae into the Union are only authorised from those third countries that meet certain animal health requirements.
(2) Commission Decision 92/260/EEC (3) lays down the animal health conditions and veterinary certification requirements for the temporary admission into the Union of registered horses for a period of less than 90 days from third countries assigned to specific sanitary groups as set out in Annex I thereto. Annex II to that Decision sets out specimen animal health certificates which must accompany the animals arriving from third countries assigned to the corresponding sanitary groups.
(3) Commission Decision 93/197/EEC (4) lays down the animal health conditions and veterinary certification requirements for imports into the Union of registered equidae and equidae for breeding and production coming from third countries assigned to specific sanitary groups as set out in Annex I thereto. That Annex also specifies the category of equidae allowed for imports from a particular third country. Annex II to that Decision sets out specimen animal health certificates which must accompany the animals arriving from third countries assigned to the corresponding sanitary groups.
(4) Commission Decision 2004/211/EC (5) establishes a list of third countries, or parts thereof where regionalisation applies, from which Member States are to authorise the importation of equidae and semen, ova and embryos thereof, and indicates the other conditions applicable to such imports. That list is set out in Annex I to that Decision.
(5) From the information available, India is free of African horse sickness in accordance with Union legislation and the last case of African horse sickness was reported in 1963. India has also been free from Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis for two years, which has never been reported in that third country. However, glanders occurs in parts of the territory of India and there is a lack of information on the occurrence of dourine.
(6) Taking into account the epidemiological situation in India as regards diseases transmissible to equidae, that third country should be assigned to Sanitary Group C as set out in Annex I to Decisions 92/260/EEC and 93/197/EEC respectively.
(7) Since the risk of contracting glanders is smaller for registered horses, it is appropriate to limit the introduction into the Union of equidae to registered horses only and to require that those registered horses introduced into the Union, in accordance with Decisions 92/260/EEC or 93/197/EEC, are subjected to tests for glanders and dourine. The specimen animal health certificate ‘C’ set out in the respective Annex II to those Decisions should therefore specify those tests for the introduction of those registered horses from India.
(8) Annexes I and II to Decision 92/260/EEC and to Decision 93/197/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(9) By letter of 31 December 2013, India informed the Commission of the establishment of an equine disease free zone at the Remount and Veterinary Corps (RVC) Centre, Meerut Cantonment, district Meerut, division Meerut in the State of Uttar Pradesh, and provided the necessary guarantees as required in accordance with Article 12 of Directive 2009/156/EC.
(10) Pending the outcome of a Commission audit mission and considering that India wishes to participate in the World Equestrian Games of the Fédération Èquestre Internationale (FEI) in Normandy in France in August 2014, the equine disease free zone established in India should be approved on a temporary basis until October 2014.
(11) The regionalisation should also include access ways for the transfer of the registered horses from the equine disease free zone to the nearest international airport, for which India has presented the Standard Operating Procedures and biosecurity measures.
(12) Annex I to Decision 2004/211/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annexes I and II to Decision 92/260/EEC are amended in accordance with Annex I to this Decision.
Annexes I and II to Decision 93/197/EEC are amended in accordance with Annex II to this Decision.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards coordination of activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94 (2), and in particular Article 10 (1) last subparagraph thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on the Development and Conversion of Regions and the Committee pursuant to Article 124 of the Treaty,
Whereas the programming procedure for structural assistance under Objective 2 is defined in Article 9 (6) to 9 (10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 24 June 1988 on the tasks of the Structural Funds and their effectiveness and on coordination of their activities between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the other existing financial instruments (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3193/94; whereas however the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in order to simplify and to speed up programming procedures, Member States may submit in a single programming document the information required for the regional and social conversion plan referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and the information required at Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas Article 10 (1) last subparagraph of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 foresees that in that case the Commission adopt a single decision in a single document covering the points referred to in Article 8 (3) and the assistance from the Funds referred to in the last subparagraph of Article 14 (3);
Whereas the Commission has established, by Decision 96/472/EC (4), the list of declining industrial areas concerned by Objective 2 for the programming period from 1997 to 1999;
Whereas the global maximum allocation foreseen for the assistance of the Structural Funds for the present single programming document is composed of resources coming from the indicative allocation of Structural Fund commitment appropriations for the period 1997 to 1999 under Objective 2 resulting from Commission Decision 96/468/EC (5) and from unused appropriations of ECU 5,252 million of the corresponding single programming document covering the period 1994 to 1996, pursuant to Commission Decision C(96) 3677 of 17 December 1996;
Whereas the United Kingdom Government has submitted to the Commission on 2 August 1996 the single programming document as referred to in Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 for the region of Thanet; whereas this document contains the elements referred to in Article 9 (8) of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 and in Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88; whereas expenditure under this single programming document is eligible as from that date;
Whereas the single programming document submitted by this Member State includes a description of the conversion priorities selected and the applications for assistance from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) as well as an indication of the planned use of the assistance available from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the other financial instruments in implementing the single programming document;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, the Commission is charged with ensuring, within the framework of the partnership, coordination and consistency between assistance from the Funds and assistance provided by the EIB and the other financial instruments;
Whereas the EIB has been involved in the drawing up of the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, applicable by analogy in the establishment of the single programming document; whereas it has declared itself prepared to contribute to the implementation of this document in conformity with its statutory provisions; whereas, however, it has not yet been possible to evaluate precisely the amounts of Community loans corresponding to the financial needs;
Whereas Article 2 second subparagraph of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1866/90 of 2 July 1990 on arrangements for using the ecu for the purpose of the budgetary management of the Structural Funds (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2745/94 (7), stipulates that in the Commission decisions approving a single programming document, the Community assistance available for the entire period and the annual breakdown thereof shall be set out in ecus at prices for the year in which each decision is taken and shall be subject to indexation; whereas this annual breakdown must be compatible with the progressive increase in the commitment appropriations shown in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88; whereas indexation is based on a single rate per year, corresponding to the rates applied annually to budget appropriations on the basis of the mechanism for the technical adjustment of the financial perspectives;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4254/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Regional Development Fund (8), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2083/93 (9), defines the measures for which the ERDF may provide financial support;
Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4255/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the European Social Fund (10), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2084/93 (11), defines the measures for which the ESF may provide financial support;
Whereas the single programming document has been established in agreement with the Member State concerned through the partnership defined in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88;
Whereas the single programming document satisfies the conditions and includes the information required by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88;
Whereas the present assistance satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and so should be implemented by means of an integrated approach involving finance from more than one Fund;
Whereas Article 1 of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (12), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (13), states that the legal commitments entered into for measures extending over more than one financial year must contain a time limit for implementation which must be specified to the recipient in due form when the aid is granted;
Whereas Article 20 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 provides, subject to available funding, for a single commitment where the Community assistance granted is less than ECU 40 million for the whole programming period;
Whereas it is appropriate to mention that this Decision is ruled by the provisions on the eligibility of expenditure laid down in the Annex to Commission Decision C(97) 1035/7 of 23 April 1997 modifying the decisions approving the Community support frameworks, the single programming documents and the Community initiative programmes in respect of the United Kingdom;
Whereas all the other conditions laid down for the grant of aid from the ERDF and the ESF have been complied with,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 laying down the rules for participation and dissemination in ‘Horizon 2020 — the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020)’ and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 (1), and in particular Article 1(3)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) No 1291/2013 (2) of the European Parliament and of the Council establishes the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020) (Horizon 2020) and provides for the involvement of the Union in public-private partnerships, including in joint undertakings, in key areas where research and innovation can contribute to the Union's wider competitiveness goals and help tackle societal challenges.
(2) Participation in indirect actions under Horizon 2020 should comply with Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013. However, in order to take into account the specific operating needs of joint undertakings established pursuant to Article 187 of the Treaty in the area of bio-based industries, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty was delegated to the Commission for the duration of Horizon 2020.
(3) The Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU) was set up by Council Regulation (EU) No 560/2014 (3) in the area of bio-based industries for a period up to 31 December 2024 in order to implement the Joint Technology Initiative on Bio-Based Industries.
(4) Specific operating needs have been identified in order to facilitate and encourage the participation of specific types of participants. Those specific operating needs are a result of the current fragmentation of this nascent industrial sector with many small and medium-sized industrial stakeholders. Participation of those stakeholders together with secondary and higher education establishments and others in the BBI JU should also be facilitated and encouraged due to their recognized strength in research and development. In order to achieve an optimal level of leverage effect on private investment, only those stakeholders should be eligible for funding of actions other than innovation actions by the BBI JU.
(5) Accordingly, it is appropriate to establish a derogation from Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013 in order to limit the eligibility for funding, for actions other than innovation actions, to entities such as small and medium-sized enterprises or secondary and higher education establishments,
By way of derogation from Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013, with regard to the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking only the following participants shall be eligible for funding from the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking for actions in the area of bio-based industries other than innovation actions:
(a) small and medium-sized enterprises;
(b) secondary and higher education establishments;
(c) non-profit legal entities, including those carrying out research or technological development as one of their main objectives;
(d) the Joint Research Centre;
(e) international European interest organisations.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 9 November 1981, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'TRACOR - digital signal analyzer, model TN-1500-8A, with accessories', ordered 6 August 1979 and to be used for the high-resolution photometric studies on the primary processes of photosynthesis and photoreception, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 19 April 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a signal analyzer;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'TRACOR - digital signal analyzer, model TN-1500-8A, with accessories', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 9 November 1981, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

of 15 November 2001
fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1670/2000(2), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when the refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation, exported in the natural state, are being fixed, account must be taken of:
- the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of milk and milk products on the Community market and prices for milk and milk products in international trade,
- marketing costs and the most favourable transport charges from Community markets to ports or other points of export in the Community, as well as costs incurred in placing the goods on the market of the country of destination,
- the aims of the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products which are to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on this market,
- the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty, and
- the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market, and
- the economic aspect of the proposed exports.
(3) Article 31(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that when prices within the Community are being determined account should be taken of the ruling prices which are most favourable for exportation, and that when prices in international trade are being determined particular account should be taken of:
(a) prices ruling on third country markets;
(b) the most favourable prices in third countries of destination for third country imports;
(c) producer prices recorded in exporting third countries, account being taken, where appropriate, of subsidies granted by those countries; and
(d) free-at-Community-frontier offer prices.
(4) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1 of the abovementioned Regulation according to destination.
(5) Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the list of products on which export refunds are granted and the amount of such refunds should be fixed at least once every four weeks; the amount of the refund may, however, remain at the same level for more than four weeks.
(6) In accordance with Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 on specific detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds on milk and milk products(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1923/2001(4); the refund granted for milk products containing added sugar is equal to the sum of the two components; one is intended to take account of the quantity of milk products and is calculated by multiplying the basic amount by the milk products content in the product concerned; the other is intended to take account of the quantity of added sucrose and is calculated by multiplying the sucrose content of the entire product by the basic amount of the refund valid on the day of exportation for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(5), however, this second component is applied only if the added sucrose has been produced using sugar beet or cane harvested in the Community.
(7) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 896/84(6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88(7), laid down additional provisions concerning the granting of refunds on the change from one milk year to another; those provisions provide for the possibility of varying refunds according to the date of manufacture of the products.
(8) For the calculation of the refund for processed cheese provision must be made where casein or caseinates are added for that quantity not to be taken into account.
(9) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in milk and in particular to quotations or prices for milk products within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the export refund on rice was issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1876/2003(2).

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 606/86 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 63/92 (4), sets, within the indicative ceiling for the import of milk products into Spain, two quantities, one for products originating in the Community of Ten and the other for those originating in Portugal; whereas the ceiling provides for specific quantities for Portugal in order to prevent changes in the traditional trade in milk products in the Community; whereas, in order to enable the Spanish market to be supplied more uniformly, it is desirable to provide for break-down by month instead of the current quarterly break-down;
Whereas, the Council has deleted milk and cream in small packings from the list of products subject to the supplementary trade mechanism protecting the Portuguese market; whereas the Portuguese market is completely integrated into the Community market with regard to trade in these products; whereas, then, the integrity of the Community market must take preference over the objective of maintaining traditional trade; whereas, therefore, there should no longer be separate quantities within the indicative ceiling for imports of milk and cream in small packings into Spain according to whether the product originates in the Community of Ten or in Portugal;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Regulation (EEC) No 606/86 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 2:
(a) Paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
'1. The maximum quantity for which licences may be issued each month shall be one-twelfth of the quantities specified in the Annex hereto.'
(b) In paragraph 2, 'quarterly' is replaced by 'monthly'.
2. In the first subparagraph of Article 3 (1) 'quarterly' and 'quarter' are replaced by 'monthly' and 'month' respectively.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 74/63/EEC of 17 December 1973 on undesirable substances and products in animal nutrition (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 97/8/EC (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas citrus pulp pellets originating in or consigned from Brazil were found to be contaminated by dioxins at such high levels which pose a risk to human health; whereas citrus pulp pellets are used as feed material; whereas feedingstuffs contaminated by dioxins results in dioxin contamination of food products of animal origin; whereas dioxins are classified by the relevant international organisations as carcinogenic to humans; whereas it is recommended by these relevant international organisations to take measures to reduce the intake of dioxin through diet as much as is reasonably achievable; it is, therefore, appropriate to prohibit the use of citrus pulp pellets contaminated by dioxins at unacceptable levels as feedingstuff and for the production of compound feedingstuff;
Whereas all sources of contamination by dioxins at such unacceptable levels has not been possible to be determined with sufficient certainty within the short time limits available; whereas, therefore, no sufficient guarantees exist for the moment that the possible sources of contamination have been removed from the production process of citrus pulp pellets; whereas a more complete scientific assessment of the tolerable maximum level for dioxins cannot be performed within short notice; it is therefore urgent to fix provisionally the maximum limit at the detection level (500 pg I - TEQ/kg) whilst awaiting the scientific assessment of the risk involved;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Feedingstuffs,
Annex I and Annex II, Part A to Directive 74/63/EEC are hereby amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
This provision shall be reviewed before 1 January 1999 according to the availability of evidence concerning the sources of contamination or of a scientific risk assessment.
1. Member States shall adopt and publish not later than 31 July 1998 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall inform the Commission thereof forthwith.
The provisions adopted shall apply from 1 August 1998.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2748/75 (3) laid down the conditions for applying protective measures in the market in cereals;
Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 474/87 (4), the Commission relaxed the protective measures applicable to imports of sweet potatoes for use as animal feed, previously laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1146/86 (5); whereas this relaxation consisted in defining maximum quantities up to which import licences are to be issued for products originating in, on the one hand, the People's Republic of China (600 000 tonnes) and, on the other hand, in any other third country (5 000 tonnes);
Whereas the security relating to the import licence should be increased in respect of applications giving an origin other than the People's Republic of China, in order to avoid abusive applications for licences; whereas, in the light of the limited quantities available (5 000 tonnes), any application which does not result, once the licence has been granted, in actual import during the period of validity of the licence deprives traders who have received serious guarantees from certain exporting countries from the right to import;
Whereas applications for licences stating an origin other than the People's Republic of China and accompanied by the lodging of the security laid down by this Regulation may, therefore, be submitted for a maximum quantity of 5 000 tonnes;
Whereas, on the other hand, the security for imports originating in the People's Republic of China should not be increased since the issue of the licence is subject to the submission of the original of an export document issued by the authorities of that country,
The following paragraph 3 is hereby added to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1146/86:

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 79/2003(4), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(5). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 542/2009
of 23 June 2009
opening the tendering procedure for aid for private storage of olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(a), (d) and (j), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the Commission may decide to authorise bodies, offering sufficient guarantees and approved by the Member States, to conclude contracts for the storage of olive oil that they market in the event of a serious disturbance on the market in certain regions of the Community.
(2) In Spain and Greece, countries that produce together more than two thirds of the olive oil produced in the EU, the average olive oil price recorded on the market during the period specified in Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 of 20 August 2008 laying down common rules for the granting of private storage aid for certain agricultural products (2), is below the level indicated in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and that fact causes a serious disturbance on the markets of these countries. Furthermore, a serious disturbance of the market is observed in Italy, France and Portugal as the expectation of falling prices leads traders to postpone all purchases that are not immediately required.
(3) Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that aid for private storage may be granted for olive oil and that the aid should be fixed by the Commission in advance or by means of a tendering procedure.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 has established common rules for the implementation of the private storage aid scheme. Pursuant to Article 6 of that Regulation, a tendering procedure is to be opened in accordance with the detailed rules and conditions provided for in its Article 9.
(5) The global quantity up to which private storage aid can be granted should be set at a level which, according to market analysis, would contribute to the stabilisation of the market.
(6) In order to facilitate the administrative and control work relating to the conclusion of contracts, the minimum quantity of product each tender must provide for should be fixed.
(7) A security should be fixed in order to ensure that the operators fulfil their contractual obligations and that the measure will have its desired effect on the market.
(8) In the light of the evolution of the market situation in the current marketing year and the forecasts for the following marketing year, the Commission should have the possibility to decide to shorten the term of contracts which are being performed and adjust the level of aid accordingly. That possibility has to be included in the contract, as provided for by Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008.
(9) Pursuant to Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008, the time period of notification of all valid tenders by Member States to the Commission is to be fixed.
(10) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
Subject matter
1. A tendering procedure is hereby opened in order to determine the level of aid for private storage referred to in Article 31(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 for olive oil categories listed in the Annex to this Regulation and defined in point 1 of Annex XVI to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

3. Each tender shall cover a minimum quantity of at least 50 tonnes.
4. Where an operator takes part in a tendering procedure for more than one category of oil or for vats located at different addresses, it shall submit a separate tender in each case.
5. Tenders may be lodged only in Spain, Italy, Greece, France and Portugal.
Securities
Tenderers shall establish a security of EUR 50 per tonne of olive oil covered by a tender.
Shortening the term of contracts
The Commission may, on the basis of developments on the market in olive oil and the outlook for the future, decide, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 195(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, to shorten the term of contracts which are being performed and adjust the amount of the aid accordingly. The contract with the successful tenderer shall include reference to this option.
Notification of the tenders to the Commission
In accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 all valid tenders shall be notified separately by Member States to the Commission, within 24 hours from the end of each tendering sub-period as referred to in Article 3(1) of this Regulation.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1451/82 (2), and in particular Article 8 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1055/77 of 17 May 1977 on the storage and movement of products bought in by an intervention agency (3), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1146/76 of 17 May 1976 on particular and special intervention measures for cereals (4) lays down the general rules applicable in this field;
Whereas, for the 1983/84 marketing year, the market in common wheat shows an imbalance between supply and demand which has resulted in particularly large deliveries into intervention;
Whereas the accumulation of these stocks of common wheat combined with budgetary constraints threatens to create serious disturbances in the operation of the common organization of the market, particularly at intervention level;
Whereas, in order to remedy this situation, measures have been taken to facilitate the disposal on the Community market of the stocks held by the intervention agencies; whereas these measures, which have taken the form of the sale of common wheat for use in animal feedingstuffs, are due to expire on 31 March 1984;
Whereas further outlets for disposal in this sector currently exist in Denmark; whereas the stocks existing in Denmark allow for such action;
Whereas the envisaged action should produce its full effect before the beginning of the 1984/85 marketing year;
Whereas it is appropriate that this sale should take place in accordance with the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 of 7 July 1982 laying down the procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies (5) subject, however, to certain special provisions designed to ensure that the operation is conducted in conformity with the aim pursued;
Whereas, in particular, the intended use of the cereal in question calls for the fixing of special price conditions; whereas these conditions should serve to attenuate the tension on the cereals market and prevent any deterioration; whereas, moreover, in view of the fixing of special price conditions, provision should be made for a security to be lodged in order to ensure that the operators enjoying such conditions genuinely put the cereals concerned to the use provided for;
Whereas, in order to facilitate supervision of the use of the cereals to be put up for sale by the Danish intervention agency, the minimum quantity to be covered by tenders should be fixed at 200 tonnes;
Whereas, moreover, where supervision is concerned, the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 of 30 June 1976 laying down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 783/84 (7), are applicable; whereas, however, it is appropriate to strengthen the said detailed rules; whereas, to this effect, provision should be made for the systematic inspection of accounts as well as on-the-spot verification, possibly based on sampling; whereas, moreover, provision should be made for the cereals in question to be treated in such a manner that they can be identified;
Whereas, in view of the special use provided for in this Regulation, Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 should be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
1. The Danish intervention agency shall put up for sale on the internal market by means of an invitation to tender about 142 600 tonnes of common wheat of bread-making quality to be used in animal feedingstuffs.
2. Without prejudice to the provisions of this Regulation, the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 shall apply to the sale provided for in paragraph 1.
The sale of the common wheat referred to in Article 1 shall take place on the basis of a standing invitation to tender.
The invitation to tender shall be open for the period April until the end of May 1984.
The Danish intervention agency shall issue partial invitations to tender at least once a week.
1. By way of derogation from Article 5 (1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82, the successful offer price must correspond to not less than 215,67 ECU per tonne during April 1984; this price shall be adjusted upwards by the amount of a monthly increase provided for in respect of the reference price during the following month.
2. By way of derogation from Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82, to be admissible, tenders must be for a quantity of not less than 200 tonnes.
Without prejudice to Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82, where the offer price is less than the amount given by the reference price in force during the month in which the contract is awarded, reduced by 11,62 ECU per tonne and increased by 1 %, the tender shall be valid only if accompanied by a written undertaking by the tenderer:
- to lodge, no later than two working days following the day of receipt of notification of the award of contract, a security amounting to the difference between those two prices,
- to keep a stock record showing the quantities purchased and the use to which they have been put and, in the event of sale, the name and address of the purchaser and the quantities sold.
The security shall be released only for those quantities in respect of which the successful tenderer can prove they were used in animal feedingstuffs before 1 August 1984. Such proof must be furnished not later than 31 December 1984.
The control referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 shall comprise systematic verification of accounts and on-the-spot controls. The latter may take the form of sampling.
The intervention agency concerned may treat the cereals concerned in a manner permitting their identification. The treatment must be carried out at the lowest possible cost.
Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 is hereby amended as follows:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 introduces a new agri-monetary system from 1 January 1993; whereas, under this system, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 of 30 April 1993 on detailed rules for determining and applying the agricultural conversion rates (2), lays down the operative events for the agricultural conversion rates applicable from the beginning of the 1993/94 marketing year; whereas, without prejudice to the possibilities for advance fixing provided for in Articles 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93, the operative events for the agricultural conversion rates applicable to the olive oil sector should accordingly be laid down in detail;
Whereas Article 5 of Council Regulation 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3179/93 (4), provides for an aid scheme for the production of olive oil; whereas the scheme provides for the grant of aid to oil producers whose average production is at least 500 kg of olive oil, subject in particular to the submission of proof that the oil has been processed at an approved mill; whereas the economic aim of the said aid is achieved once the olives have been processed into oil; whereas in this case, and given the very large number of oil producers involved, the application of Article 10 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 should be clearly specified;
Whereas the aforementioned scheme applicable to oil producers whose average production is less than 500 kg of oil provides for the grant of a flat-rate aid based on the number of trees in production and therefore not linked to the quantity actually produced; whereas the processing of olives into oil occurs in the producer Member States on average during the month of January;
Whereas the flat-rate aid per hectare provided for by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93 of 19 July 1993 introducing specific measures for the smaller Aegean islands concerning certain agricultural products (5) aims in particular to maintain production potential and to preserve the countryside and the natural environment;
Whereas, in respect of the production refund for olive oils used in the manufacture of certain preserved foods, as provided for in Article 20a of Regulation 136/66/EEC the operative event should be fixed in accordance with Article 10 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93;
Whereas with a view to facilitating the uniform application of the operative events, amended Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3224/74 of 20 December 1974 defining the event in which the subsidy in respect of olive oil becomes due and payable (6) should be repealed and some existing provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2677/85 of 24 Sepember 1985 laying down implementing rules in respect of the system of consumption aid for olive oil (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 643/93 (8), should be clarified;
Whereas the operative event should be applicable as form the beginning of the marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
1. The operative event for the agricultural conversion rate applicable to the production aid referred to in Article 5 of Regulation 136/66/EEC and granted to olive oil producers whose average production is at least 500 kg of olive oil shall be deemed to occur on the first day of the month in which, for a given batch, the olives enter an approved mill as laid down in Article 98 (2) (a) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3061/84 (9), relating to the keeping of standardized daily stock records.
2. The operative event for the agricultural conversion rate applicable to the production aid referred to in Article 5 of Regulation 136/66/EEC and granted to olive oil producers whose average production is below 500 kg of olive oil shall be deemed to occur on 1 January following the beginning of the marketing year for which the aid is granted.
The operative event for the agricultural conversion rate applicable to the flat-rate aid per hectare for the maintenance of olive groves provded for in Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93 shall be deemed to occur on 1 January of the year in question.

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3162/93 of 17 November 1993 on the issuing of standing invitations to tender for the sale of common wheat of breadmaking quality held by the French and German intervention agencies for export to certain ACP countries in the 1993/94 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2193/93 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 (3) lays down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies;
Whereas, with a view to supplying the markets of the ACP countries, favoured partners of the Community, significant quantities of common wheat are required; whereas these markets are usually supplied on the basis of annual contracts to ensure stable prices for the ACP countries over a long period; whereas it is therefore necessary to issue a specific invitation to tender to ensure that users in these countries have access to common wheat of breadmaking quality in the 1993/94 marketing year under conditions appropriate to the highly competitive situation on the world market;
Whereas the French and German intervention agencies hold significant stocks of common wheat of high breadmaking quality; whereas part of the wheat coming from the intervention stocks held by the aforementioned agencies should therefore be resold to the ACP countries so as to meet their quantitative and qualitative needs; whereas to avoid encroaching on the economic effects of the following marketing year, the common wheat successfully tendered for must be sent to the countries of destination by 31 August 1994 at the latest;
Whereas the specific nature of the operation and the accounting position of the common wheat in question require greater flexibility in the mechanisms and obligations governing the resale of intervention stocks and also require the exclusion of any refund or monthly increase; whereas special procedures must be laid down to ensure that the operations and their monitoring are properly effected; whereas to that end provision should be made for a security lodgment scheme which ensures that the aims are met while avoiding excessive costs for the operators; whereas derogations should accordingly be made to certain rules, in particular those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93;
Whereas, where removal of the wheat is delayed by more than five days, or the release of one of the securities required is delayed, for reasons imputable to the intervention agency the Member State concerned will have to pay compensation;
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
1. Two standing invitations to tender are hereby issued for the 1993/94 marketing year for the export of:
- 500 000 tonnes of common wheat of breadmaking quality, held by the French intervention agency,
- 100 000 tonnes of common wheat of breadmaking quality, held by the German intervention agency.
2. The common wheat must be exported to an ACP State or to several States within one of the groups of ACP States listed in Annex I.
3. The regions in which the 500 000 tonnes of French and 100 000 tonnes of German common wheat of breadmaking quality are stored are listed in Annex II.
4. The intervention agencies concerned shall prepare a notice of invitation to tender indicating for each lot or, where appropriate, each part lot:
- the location,
- and at least the following features:
- specific weight,
- moisture content,
- Hagberg falling number,
- impurity contents and sprouted grains,
- protein content.
5. They shall publish the notice of invitation to tender at least three days before the date set for the first partial invitation to tender.
Subject to the provisions of this Regulation, the sales of common wheat of breadmaking quality referred to in Article 1 shall take place in accordance with the procedure and conditions laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93.
1. The time limit for submitting tenders for the first partial invitations to tender shall be 1 p.m. (Brussels time) on Wednesday 24 November 1993.
2. The time limit for submitting tenders for the subsequent partial invitations to tender shall be 1 p.m. (Brussels time) each Wednesday.
The time limit for the last partial invitation to tender shall be 1 December 1993.
3. Tenders must be submitted to the intervention agency in question.
1. Tenders shall only be admissible if:
- the tenderer provides written proof from an official body in the country of destination or a company having its overseas subsidiary in the said country, that he has concluded for the quantity in question a commercial supply contract for common wheat of breadmaking quality for export to an ACP State or to several States within one of the groups of ACP States listed in Annex I. Such proof shall be lodged with the intervention agency at least three working days before the date of the first invitation to tender,
- they are accompanied by an application for an export licence for the destination in question.
The proof provided for in the first indent shall also indicate the quality provided for in the contract, the time limit for delivery and the price terms.
The Member State shall send the Commission a copy of the said proof forthwith, for information.
2. Tenders may not exceed the quantity laid down in the commercial contract submitted. Where on the basis of the said contract the tenderer simultaneously participates in invitations to tender in the two Member States concerned, he shall be required to mention this in his bid.
When transmitting the tenders submitted, the Member States shall inform the Commission of the above, mentioning if necessary the names of the tenderers involved.
1. No export refund shall be granted for exports carried out pursuant to this Regulation.
2. The validity of the export licences issued in accordance with this Regulation shall expire on 30 June 1994.
3. The licence obliges the operator to export to the ACP State or States for which the licence application was submitted. However, up to a limit of 10 % of the quantity for which the licence was issued, the operator may effect his contract at another destination on condition that it belongs to the same group of countries listed in Annex I.
4. The export licences shall be issued as soon as the successful tenderers have been selected.
5. Article 9 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (1) notwithstanding, the rights deriving from the licence referred to in this Article shall not be transferable.
1. The successful tenderer shall notify the storer and the intervention agency in writing of his intention to remove the merchandise at least 10 days in advance.
2. Before the lot tendered for is removed, the intervention agency and the successful tenderer shall take a reference sample in accordance with the method laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 689/92 (2).

re-establishing the levying of customs duties applicable to third countries on certain products originating in Yugoslavia
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1), and in particular Protocol No 1 thereto,
Having regard to Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3138/85 of 22 October 1985 establishing ceilings and Community supervision for imports of certain goods originating in Yugoslavia (1986) (2),
Whereas Article 1 of the abovementioned Protocol provides that the products listed below, imported under reduced duty rates according to Article 18 of the Cooperation Agreement are subject to the annual ceiling indicated below, above which the customs duties applicable to third countries may be re-established:

32001L0110 | Council Directive 2001/110/EC of 20 December 2001 relating to honey
| Council Directive 2001/110/EC
of 20 December 2001
relating to honey
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Whereas:
(1) Certain vertical directives relating to foods should be simplified in order to take account only of the essential requirements to be met by the products they cover in order that those products may move freely within the internal market, in accordance with the conclusions of the European Council held in Edinburgh on 11 and 12 December 1992, confirmed by those of the European Council in Brussels on 10 and 11 December 1993.
(2) Council Directive 74/409/EEC of 22 July 1974 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to honey(4) was justified by the fact that differences between national laws on the definition of honey, the various types of honey and the characteristics required of it could result in conditions of unfair competition likely to mislead consumers, and thereby have a direct effect on the establishment and functioning of the common market.
(3) Directive 74/409/EEC and its subsequent amendments consequently established definitions, specified the different types of honey which could be placed on the market under appropriate names, laid down common rules on composition and determined the main labelling information so as to ensure the free movement of these products within the Community.
(4) For the sake of clarity Directive 74/409/EEC should be recast, in order to make rules on the conditions for the production and marketing of honey more accessible and to bring it into line with general Community legislation on foodstuffs, particularly legislation on labelling, contaminants and methods of analysis.
(5) The general food-labelling rules laid down in Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(5) should apply subject to certain conditions. In view of the close link between the quality of honey and its origin, it is indispensable that full information on those matters be available so that the consumer is not misled regarding the quality of the product. The particular consumer interests as regards the geographical characteristics of honey and full transparency in this regard necessitate that the country of origin where the honey has been harvested should be included in the labelling.
(6) No pollen or other individual ingredient of honey is to be removed, unless that is inevitable when organic and inorganic foreign materials are removed. That process may be carried out by filtering. Where such filtering leads to the removal of a significant quantity of pollen, the consumer must be correctly informed to that effect by means of an appropriate indication on the label.
(7) Honey the name of which includes indications concerning floral, vegetable, regional, territorial or topographical origin or specific quality criteria may not have filtered honey added to it. So that the transparency of the market may be improved, the labelling of filtered honeys and baker's honeys must be mandatory for every transaction on the bulk market.
(8) As the Commission stressed in its communication to the European Parliament and the Council of 24 June 1994 on European apiculture, the Commission may adopt methods of analysis to ensure compliance with the compositional characteristics and additional specific statements for all honey marketed in the Community.
(9) It is desirable to take account of the work achieved on a new Codex standard for honey, adjusted, as appropriate, to the specific requirements of the Community.
(10) In accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality established by Article 5 of the Treaty, the objective of laying down common definitions and rules for the products concerned and bringing the provisions into line with general Community legislation on foodstuffs cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the nature of this Directive, be better achieved by the Community. This Directive does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the said objective.
(11) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(6).
(12) To avoid creating new barriers to free movement, Member States should refrain from adopting, for the products in question, national provisions not provided for by this Directive,
This Directive shall apply to the products defined in Annex I. These products shall meet the requirements set out in Annex II.
Directive 2000/13/EC shall apply to the products defined in Annex I, subject to the following conditions:
1. the term "honey" shall be applied only to the product defined in Annex I, point 1, and shall be used in trade to designate that product;
2. the product names referred to in Annex I, points 2 and 3, shall apply only to the products defined therein and shall be used in trade to designate them. These names may be replaced by the simple product name "honey", except in the case of filtered honey, comb honey, chunk honey or cut comb in honey and baker's honey.
However,
(a) in the case of baker's honey, the words "intended for cooking only" shall appear on the label in close proximity to the product name;
(b) except in the case of filtered honey and baker's honey, the product names may be supplemented by information referring to:
- floral or vegetable origin, if the product comes wholly or mainly from the indicated source and possesses the organoleptic, physico-chemical and microscopic characteristics of the source,
- regional, territorial or topographical origin, if the product comes entirely from the indicated source,
- specific quality criteria;
3. where baker's honey has been used as an ingredient in a compound foodstuff, the term "honey" may be used in the product name of the compound food instead of the term "baker's honey". However, in the list of ingredients, the term as referred to in Annex I, point 3, shall be used;
4. (a) the country or countries of origin where the honey has been harvested shall be indicated on the label.
However, if the honey originates in more than one Member State or third country that indication may be replaced with one of the following, as appropriate:
- "blend of EC honeys",
- "blend of non-EC honeys",
- "blend of EC and non-EC honeys".
(b) For the purpose of Directive 2000/13/EC and in particular Articles 13, 14, 16 and 17 thereof, the particulars to be indicated according to subparagraph (a) shall be considered as indications according to Article 3 of that Directive.
In the case of filtered honey and baker's honey, bulk containers, packs and trade documents shall clearly indicate the full product name, as referred to in Annex I, point 2(b)(viii), and point 3.
The Commission may adopt methods to permit verification of compliance of honey with the provisions of this Directive. These methods shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 7(2). Until the adoption of such methods, Member States shall, whenever possible, use internationally recognised validated methods such as those approved by Codex Alimentarius to verify compliance with the provisions of this Directive.
For the products defined in Annex I, Member States shall not adopt national provisions not provided for by this Directive.
The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive relating to the matters referred to below shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 7(2):
- bringing this Directive into line with general Community legislation on foodstuffs,
- adaptations to technical progress.
1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs (hereinafter referred to as "the Committee") set up by Article 1 of Decision 69/414/EEC(7).
2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 5 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.
The period laid down in Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.
3. The Committee shall adopt its rules of procedure.
Directive 74/409/EEC is hereby repealed with effect from 1 August 2003.
References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Directive.
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 1 August 2003. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
The measures shall be applied so as to:
- authorise the marketing of the products defined in Annex I if they conform to the definitions and rules laid down in this Directive, with effect from 1 August 2003;
- prohibit the marketing of products which fail to conform to this Directive, with effect from 1 August 2004.
However, the marketing of products which fail to conform to this Directive and labelled before 1 August 2004 in accordance with Directive 74/409/EEC shall be permitted until stocks run out.
When Member States adopt these measures, these shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 89 (2) and 234 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 of 15 March 1976 laying down special measures for flax seed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4003/87 (2), and in particular Article 1 (1) and (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas, when the guide price for flax seed is fixed every year, account has to be taken both 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 the same level as that adopted for the last marketing year;
Whereas, under Article 68 of the Act of Accession, a price level differing from that of the common prices has been applied in Spain; whereas, prusuant to Article 70 (1) of the Act of Accession, the Spanish prices should be aligned on the common prices each year at the beginning of the marketing year; whereas the rules laid down for this alignment give the Spanish prices set out below;
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 1987/88 marketing year meets this requirement and can accordingly be used for the following marketing year,
For the 1988/89 marketing year, the guide price for flax seed shall be:
(a) 48,73 ECU/100 kilograms for Spain;
(b) 55,41 ECU/100 kilograms for the other Member States.
The price referred to in Article 1 shall relate to seed:
- in bulk, of sound and fair merchantable quality,
and - with an impurity content of 2 % and, for seeds as such, humidity and oil contents of 9 % and 38 % respectively.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 August 1988.

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/55/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of vegetable seed (2), and in particular Article 7(2)(a) and (b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Directives 2003/90/EC (3) and 2003/91/EC (4) were adopted to ensure that the varieties the Member States include in their national catalogues comply with the guidelines established by the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO) as regards the characteristics to be covered as a minimum by the examination of the various species and the minimum conditions for examining the varieties, as far as such guidelines had been established. For other varieties those Directives provide that guidelines of the International Union for Protection of new Varieties of Plants (UPOV) are to apply.
(2) The CPVO and UPOV have since established further guidelines for one other species and have updated existing ones.
(3) Directives 2003/90/EC and 2003/91/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

| COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1260/87
of 6 May 1987
adopting protective measures with regard to the import of strawberries originating in Spain
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 379 (2) thereof,
Whereas on 30 April 1987 France requested the Commission to take protective action with regard to imports of strawberries originating in Spain for sale on the French market; whereas that request was supplemented on 5 May 1987 by additional information;
Whereas, despite almost stable production, production prices on the French strawberry market, in particular during April 1987, have been markedly lower than the levels which they reached in the same month in 1985 and 1986;
Whereas this situation is due to the very marked increase in imports of strawberries originating in Spain; whereas such imports, which have increased by more than 50 % by comparison with the average for the two previous years, are being sold at prices which are generally lower than in previous years and which have led to a decline in French market prices;
Whereas, in view of supplies of the Spanish product, a further marked decrease in the prices on the French market is to be feared, along with increased difficulties of disposing of the French product;
Whereas the brief assessment of the market situation set out above leads to the conclusion that the French strawberry market is experiencing, owing to the imports originating in Spain, serious disturbances which may endanger the objectives set out in Article 39 of the Treaty; whereas in these circumstances protective measures should be adopted;
Whereas, to that end, imports into France of strawberries originating in Spain should be limited for as long as is strictly necessary to eliminate the aforesaid disturbances; whereas, however, provision should be made to discontinue such measures where a system is applied for voluntary restraint on exports of Spanish strawberries to the French market;
Whereas it appears that the markets in other regions of the Community have until now not experienced any disturbances by reason of those imports; whereas the protective measure should therefore be limited in its application to imports into France,
1. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2, the release for consumption in France of fresh or chilled strawberries falling within subheading 08.08 A I of the Common Customs Tariff and originating in Spain is hereby limited to:
- 800 tonnes/day for the period from 7 to 9 May 1987,
- 400 tonnes/day for the period from 11 to 16 May 1987.
2. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall apply only in so far as the Spanish authorities have not taken suitable measures to ensure that the quantities originating in Spain released for consumption on the French market do not exceed the quantities set out above.
3. The Spanish authorities shall notify the Commission and the French Republic of the measures adopted in compliance with paragraph 2. The Commission shall assess the effectiveness of those measures having regard to the objectives and shall notify France of the discontinuation of the measures provided for in paragraph 1.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC (3), and in particular Article 18 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EEC (4), and in particular Article 63(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2006/415/EC of 14 June 2006 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza of the subtype H5N1 in poultry in the Community and repealing Decision 2006/135/EC (5) lays down certain protection measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of that disease, including the establishment of areas A and B following a suspected or confirmed outbreak of the disease. Those areas are listed in the Annex to Decision 2006/415/EC. That Decision is to apply until 31 December 2011.
(2) Outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza of the subtype H5N1 have last occurred in poultry in the Union in Romania in March 2010 and the virus has been detected in a wild bird in Bulgaria in April 2010. According to available information, there are currently no outbreaks of that disease in the Union. It is therefore appropriate to remove Romania from the list set out in the Annex to Decision 2006/415/EC.
(3) The measures laid down in Decision 2006/415/EC have proven to be very effective and the publication in the Official Journal of the European Union of the zones that the competent authority has placed under restrictions has increased transparency and trust of non-affected Member States and third countries in the measures taken.
(4) In addition, highly pathogenic avian influenza of the subtype H5N1 is still present in several third countries and continues therefore to pose a threat to animal and human health in the Union. The period of application of Decision 2006/415/EC should therefore be extended.
(5) In September 2011 an external evaluation of the Union’s emergency response network has started. The evaluation aims at assessing the effectiveness of the network. That evaluation is to be completed by August 2012. The results of the evaluation will be taken into account in a possible review of the measures laid down in Decision 2006/415/EC.
(6) Decision 2006/415/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2006/415/EC is amended as follows:
1. in Article 12, the date ‘31 December 2011’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2013’;
2. in the Annex, the entries for Romania are deleted.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes (Z,E)-tetradeca-9,12-dienyl acetate.
(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, (Z,E)-tetradeca-9,12-dienyl acetate has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 19, repellents and attractants, as defined in Annex V to that Directive.
(3) Austria was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 23 February 2009 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(4) The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 24 September 2010, in an assessment report.
(5) It appears from the evaluations that biocidal products used as attractants and containing (Z,E)-tetradeca-9,12-dienyl acetate may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include (Z,E)-tetradeca-9,12-dienyl acetate in Annex I to that Directive.
(6) It also appears from the evaluations that biocidal products used as attractants and containing (Z,E)-tetradeca-9,12-dienyl acetate may be expected to present only low risk to humans, animals and the environment and to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC, in particular with regard to the use which was examined and detailed in the assessment report, i.e. in traps for indoor use containing a maximum of 2 mg of the active substance. It is therefore appropriate to include (Z,E)-tetradeca-9,12-dienyl acetate in Annex IA to Directive 98/8/EC.
(7) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at Union level. It is therefore appropriate that Member States, when granting product authorisations, assess those uses or exposure scenarios and those risks to the environmental compartments and populations that have not been representatively addressed in the Union level risk assessment and ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to reduce the identified risks to acceptable levels.
(8) In the light of the assumptions made during the evaluation, it is appropriate to require that (Z,E)-tetradeca-9,12-dienyl acetate is not applied where food or feed is stored unless the food or feed packaging is closed or re-closed. Labels should therefore indicate that biocidal products containing (Z,E)-tetradeca-9,12-dienyl acetate are not to be used in spaces where un-packaged food or feed is kept.
(9) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance (Z,E)-tetradeca-9,12-dienyl acetate and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.
(10) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.
(11) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(12) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
Annexes I and IA to Directive 98/8/EC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 41 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 428/2008 of 8 May 2008 on determining the intervention centres for cereals (2) sets out the intervention centres for each Member State by cereal type, with the exception of durum wheat.
(2) The Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1173/2009 (3) lists the intervention centres for durum wheat and rice referred to in Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 670/2009 (4).
(3) Commission Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009 of 11 December 2009 laying down common detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards buying-in and selling of agricultural products under public intervention (5) sets out the conditions to be complied with, from the 2010/2011 marketing year onwards, for the designation and approval of cereal intervention centres and their storage premises. Among these conditions, Article 3(1)(a)(i) of that Regulation provides that each cereal intervention centre must have a minimum storage capacity of 20 000 tonnes.
(4) With effect from 1 July 2010, Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009 repeals Regulation (EC) No 670/2009 with regard to cereals.
(5) With effect from 1 July 2010, the cereal intervention centres designated pursuant to Article 41 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 must comply with the conditions laid down in Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009. It is therefore appropriate to repeal Regulation (EC) No 428/2008 and to amend Regulation (EC) No 1173/2009.
(6) In accordance with Article 55(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009, the Member States have sent the Commission a list of intervention centres for actual designation and a list of the storage premises attached to those centres which they have approved as fulfilling the minimum standards required by Community legislation. In cases where cereal production levels are low, or where estimates do not indicate any cereal sectors generating surpluses and intervention has not been used for a significant period, some Member States have not reported any cereal intervention centres.
(7) In order to ensure that the public intervention scheme works efficiently, the Commission should designate intervention centres on the basis of their geographical location and publish a list of the storage premises attached thereto, together with all the information required by the operators involved in public intervention.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
The intervention centres for cereals referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009 are designated in the Annex hereto.
The addresses of the storage premises linked to each intervention centre and the detailed information relating to these premises and intervention centres are published on the Internet (6).
Regulation (EC) No 428/2008 is hereby repealed.
Section A of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1173/2009 is deleted.

To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
