Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 shall be amended as  follows:(1)  paragraph 2 shall become paragraph 2 (a);(2)  the following point shall be added:'(b)  Without prejudice to (a), the compensatory payment shall be paid only in respect of the  quantity of potatoes covered by a contract concluded between the potato producer and the  undertaking producing potato starch within the limit of the quota allocated to such undertaking, as  referred to in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1868/94.` Regulation (EC) No 1868/94 shall be amended as follows:(1)  in Article 2:(a)  the table in paragraph 1 shall be replaced by the following:>TABLE>(b)  the following subparagraph shall be added after the second indent in paragraph 2:'However, in the case of Austria, Finland and Sweden, the Member State shall allocate the quota  referred to in paragraph 1 to undertakings producing potato starch, for use in the marketing years  1995/96, 1996/97 and 1997/98, in particular on the basis of the amount of potato starch produced by  them in the calendar year 1993 and for which they received national aid.`;(2)  in Article 6:(a)  in paragraph 1, the words 'Without prejudice to Article 5` shall be deleted;(b)  in paragraph 2, the words 'Without prejudice to` shall be replaced by the word  'Notwithstanding`.

23481,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 473/2002 of 15 March 2002 amending Annexes I, II and VI to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs, and laying down detailed rules as regards the transmission of information on the use of copper compounds. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2491/2001(2), and in particular the first and second indents of Article 13 thereof,Whereas:(1) It is necessary to define more precisely the time at which the conversion period is started in principle and to define the conditions which need to be satisfied in order to recognise retroactively a period before the start, as being part of the conversion period.(2) In exceptional circumstances, such as the outbreak of infectious diseases, accidental contaminations or natural phenomenons, the stockbreeders can afford difficulties in obtaining supply of feedingstuffs of organic origin and an authorisation has to be granted, on temporary basis and in a limited way, by the competent authority of the Member State, in view of the use of feedingstuffs not originating from organic farming.(3) Part A of Annex II, on fertilisers and soil conditioners, provides for the possibility of using composted household waste during a provisional period expiring on 31 March 2002 only. The use of composted household waste meets a real need in certain Member States, and this product is strictly regulated as regards the origin of the waste, the operation of the collection system, which must have been accepted by the Member State, and the maximum content of heavy metals, without prejudice to any other requirements for use of such product in general agriculture. These requirements may need to be reconsidered in the framework of new common legislation of household wastes. The current authorisation can therefore be prolonged for a limited period of four years.(4) Pyrethroids (deltamethrin and lambdacyhalothrin) are used in organic farming only in traps and their use thus meets the criteria of Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91. The use of these substances has been shown to meet a real need in certain crops and should therefore be authorised for an indefinite period.(5) Germany has asked that ferric phosphate be included in Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 so that it can be used as a molluscicide in organic agriculture. Having examined this request, the conditions laid down in Article 7(1) of that Regulation have been found being satisfied. Moreover, ferric phosphate was recently evaluated for compliance with the criteria on human health and the environment under Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market(3), as last amended by Commission Directive 2002/18/EC(4). This product should accordingly be added to Annex II, Part B.(6) Metaldehyde is authorised for use as a molluscicide in organic farming for a period expiring on 31 March 2002. This period should be extended for a limited transitional period of 4 years which would permit to replace, in the Member States, metaldehyde as molluscicide by iron (III) orthophosphate.(7) The use of copper in the form of copper hydroxide, copper oxychloride, (tribasic) copper sulphate and cuprous oxide and the use of mineral oils as fungicides are considered to be traditional organic farming practices in accordance with the provisions of Article 7(1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91. It has appeared that these substances are, at this point of time, indispensable to the cultivation of various crops and that only by increased research efforts it will be possible to find on medium or long term appropriate alternative solutions. Therefore, these substances should be authorised for the time being. This authorisation will be reviewed in the light of new developments and evidence with regard to available alternatives.(8) The use of copper in the forms referred to above may have long-term consequences due to its accumulation in the soil, which appears incompatible with organic farming's objective of environmentally friendly farming. The conditions for using copper should therefore be restricted by fixing a ceiling on use expressed in terms of kilograms of copper per hectare per year. This ceiling should start at the level of 8 kg copper per ha, and should after a limited transitional period of four years be reduced to 6 kg copper per ha, unless it would be demonstrated that for certain crops such lower ceiling is not efficacious. Member States should have the possibility to apply this ceiling on an average basis over a period of five years. Member States making use of this possibility should report on the implementation of this measure and on the quantities effectively used, in view of a possible review of this regime where necessary.(9) Extension of the period of use of plant protection products by this Regulation is without prejudice to the decisions taken on the use of these products in agriculture in general as part of the review programme provided for in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC. The Commission has presented to Council and Parliament the report provided in Article 8(2) for examination. The deadlines set in this regulation will be reviewed without delay if this is necessary in the light of the conclusions of the examination of the report.(10) Under Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 the labelling and advertising of a product may refer to organic production methods only where the product or its ingredients of agricultural origin have not been subjected to treatments involving the use of substances not listed in Section B of Annex VI. However, sodium hydroxide is listed in that Annex for use in the production of oil from rapeseed (Brassica spp.) during a period expiring on 31 March 2002 only. The use of this substance has been shown to meet a real need in the production of certain types of organic rapeseed oil used in foodstuffs. Therefore, the use of this product shall be authorised for an indefinite period.(11) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 207/93(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2020/2000(6) has defined the content of Annex VI to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 and established the implementation conditions of Article 5(4) of this Regulation. The Member States have asked for the inclusion in Annex VI, part C, of animal casings; after examination it has been established that the request for inclusion satisfies the requirements of Article 5(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 and of Article 3(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 207/93.(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,. Annexes I, II and VI to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. Where a Member State decides to implement the derogation provided for the maximum levels of copper compounds in Annex II, part B, of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, the following shall be communicated to the Commission and the other Member States:- before 30 June 2002, information on the measures taken to implement this provision and to ensure its compliance, in particular at the level of individual holdings,- before 31 December 2004, a report on the implementation and on the results of these measures, in particular the quantities actually required in each cultivation period since the entering into force of this provision.If necessary, the Commission shall take appropriate measures according to the procedure foreseen in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91. This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.However, the Member States may continue to apply the provisions of paragraph 1 of part A of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, which were applicable before the entry into force of the present Regulation:- for parcels for which the conversion period commenced before 31 December 2002,- for all parcels which are part of a conversion plan, of a maximum duration of five years, agreed with the competent authorities and which commenced before 1 September 2002; this derogation does not apply for parcels added to the plan after its initial agreement.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 is amended as follows:1.1. Paragraph 1 of part A of Annex I ""Plants and plant products"" is replaced by the following: ""1.1. The principles laid down in Article 6(1)(a), (b) and (d) and set out in particular in this Annex must normally have been applied on the parcels during a conversion period of at least two years before sowing, or, in the case of grassland, at least two years before its exploitation as feedingstuff from organic farming, or, in the case of perennial crops other than grassland, at least three years before the first harvest of products as referred to in Article 1(1)(a). The conversion period shall commence at the earliest on the date on which the producer notified his activity in accordance with Article 8 and submitted his holding to the inspection system provided for in Article 9.1.2. However, the inspection authority or body may decide, in agreement with the competent authority, to recognise retroactively as being part of the conversion period any previous period in which:(a) the land parcels were part of a programme implemented pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2078/92 of 30 June 1992 on agricultural production methods compatible with the requirements of the protection of the environment and the maintenance of the countryside(1) or Chapter VI of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and amending and repealing certain Regulations(2), or as part of another official programme, provided that the programmes concerned guarantee that products not listed in parts A and B of Annex II have not been used on those parcels; or(b) the parcels were natural or agricultural areas which were not treated with products not listed in parts A and B of Annex II. This period can be taken into consideration retroactively only under the condition that satisfactory proof has been furnished to the inspection authority or body allowing it to satisfy itself that the conditions were met for a period of at least three years.1.3. The inspection authority or body may, with the approval of the competent authority, decide, in certain cases, to extend the conversion period beyond the period laid down in paragraph 1.1 having regard to previous parcel use.1.4. In the case of parcels which have already been converted to or were in the process of conversion to organic farming, and which are treated with a product not listed in Annex II, the Member State may reduce the length of the conversion period to less than the period laid down in paragraph 1.1 in the following two cases:(a) parcels treated with a product not listed in part B of Annex II as part of a compulsory disease or pest control measure imposed by the competent authority of the Member State within its own territory or in certain parts thereof for a specific crop production;(b) parcels treated with a product not listed in parts A or B of Annex II as part of scientific tests approved by the competent authority of the Member State.In these cases the length of the conversion period shall be fixed taking into account all of the following points:- the process of degradation of the plant protection product concerned must guarantee, at the end of the conversion period, an insignificant level of residues in the soil and, in the case of a perennial crop, in the plant,- the harvest following the treatment may not be sold with reference to organic production methods,- the Member State concerned must inform the other Member States and the Commission of its decision to require compulsory treatment.""1.2.

14246,"Council Regulation (EC) No 1527/95 of 29 June 1995 regulating compensation for reductions in the agricultural conversion rates of certain national currencies. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,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 9 thereof,Whereas there is a risk of substantial reductions in the agricultural conversion rates for the  Belgian/Luxembourg franc, the Danish krone, the German mark, the Dutch guilder and the Austrian  schilling; whereas monetary gaps greater than 5 % have already been recorded for these currencies  over several reference periods; whereas it is necessary to take steps at Community level to prevent  distortions in the implementation of the common agricultural policy due to monetary causes;Whereas, in order to curtail the risk of distortions to trade flows caused by the monetary gaps of  the said currencies, these gaps should be reduced if they prove to be still over 5 % by the end of  the reference periods introduced to confirm the monetary situation;Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 provides for a Council decision, in the event of  an appreciable re-evaluation, primarily to comply with obligations under the GATT agreement and  budgetary discipline, on all necessary measures, which may involve derogations from the provisions  of the said Regulation concerning aid and the amount by which the monetary gaps are dismantled,  without, however, resulting in the threshold being extended; whereas the measures provided for in  Articles 7 and 8 of the said Regulation cannot be applied as they stand; whereas, however,  compensation for losses of income caused by a reduction in agricultural conversion rates needs to  be provided, while taking into account on a flat-rate basis the effects of the 1993 devaluations,  the movements of prices in real terms for products qualifying for compensatory payments as part of  the reform of the common agricultural policy, and the acknowledged sensitivity of market prices and  incomes to agrimonetary adjustments;Whereas there should be provision for extending the compensatory aid granted over three successive  12-month tranches should the duration of the effects of the reduction in the agricultural  conversion rates in forthcoming years so require;Whereas the date set for the third stage for achieving economic and monetary union is 1 January  1999, at the latest; whereas, with regard to the national currencies in question, the agricultural  conversion rate applicable to the amounts referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92  should not be reduced until fixed conversion rates between the currencies of the Member States have  been established,. This Regulation shall apply in the event of significant reductions in  agricultural conversion rates in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92  introduced between 23 June 1995 and 1 January 1996. 1.  In the event of a reduction in agricultural conversion rates as referred to in  Article 1, the Member State affected may make compensatory payments to farmers in three successive  tranches lasting twelve months each, starting with the month following the relevant reduction in  the agricultural conversion rate. These compensatory payments shall not take the form of aid linked  to production, other than production during a stipulated period prior to introduction of the  compensation scheme; they shall not favour any particular type of production or be dependent on  production subsequent to the period stipulated.2.  The total compensatory aid in the first twelve-month tranche shall not be more than:- ECU 18,0 million in the case of Belgium,- ECU 15,3 million in the case of Denmark - ECU 95,4 million in the case of Germany,- ECU  1,4 million in the case of Luxembourg,- ECU 38,5 million in the case of the Netherlands,- ECU 16,8 million in the case of Austria,to be multiplied by the reduction in the agricultural conversion rate referred to in Article 1  expressed as a percentage, less 1,015 percentage points in respect of the Belgian/Luxembourg franc  and 2,626 percentage points in respect of the Danish krone, if the reduction of the agricultural  conversion rate concerned takes place respectively before 14 October 1995 or before 17 August  1995.The amounts paid out under the second and third tranches shall not exceed the amount paid out in  the previous tranche in each case, less at least a third of the amount paid out in the first  tranche.3.  The Community contribution to financing these compensatory payments shall be 50 % of the  amounts that may be paid out.For the purposes of the financing of the common agricultural policy, this contribution shall be  considered to form part of the assistance designed to regularize agricultural markets. The Member  State may withdraw from national participation in financing the aid.4.  The Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 12 of Regulation  (EEC) No 3813/92, adopt detailed rules for applying this Article and in particular in cases where  the Member State does not participate in financing the aid, lay down the conditions for paying that  aid. 1.  In cases referred to in Article 1, the agricultural conversion rates applicable on  23 June 1995 to the amounts referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 shall remain  unchanged until 1 January 1999.2.  Articles 7 and 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 shall not apply to the reductions in  agricultural conversion rates referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation. Before the end of the third period during which the compensatory aid is granted, the  Commission shall examine the effects on agricultural income of the reductions in agricultural  conversion rates as referred to in Article 1.Where it is established that income losses are likely to continue, the Commission may, in  accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92, extend the  possibility of granting compensatory aid as provided for in Article 2 by a maximum of two  additional 12-month tranches, the maximum amount per tranche being equal to that granted in the  third tranche.

35740,"Council Regulation (EC) No 435/2008 of 19 May 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 1371/2005 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel originating in the United States of America and Russia and repealing the anti-dumping duties imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1371/2005 on imports of grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel originating in Russia. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 9 and 11(3) thereof,Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A.   MEASURES IN FORCE(1) By Regulation (EC) No 1371/2005 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel (‘GOES’) originating in the United States of America (‘USA’) and Russia (the ‘definitive Regulation’).(2) By Decision 2005/622/EC (3), the Commission accepted price undertakings offered by two cooperating exporting producers whose exports to the Community of GOES are subject to a company-specific duty of 31,5 % (AK Steel Corporation, USA) and 11,5 % (Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Corporation (‘NLMK’), Russia). The anti-dumping duties applicable to imports from all other companies, except Viz Stal, Russia, which is subject to a duty of 0 %, are 37,8 % for the USA and 11,5 % for Russia.B.   REQUEST FOR REVIEW(3) The Commission was notified in early 2007 that NLMK had acquired 100 % of Viz Stal. Evidence was provided regarding the production, sales and distribution of GOES under the new corporate structure. As a consequence, the circumstances on the basis of which the measures were established appeared to have changed in a lasting way and the dumping margin under the new corporate structure appeared to be significantly different as compared to the level of the measures in force.(4) Having determined that there was sufficient prima facie evidence that the individual duties in force for NLMK and Viz Stal were no longer appropriate, and after consulting the Advisory Committee, the Commission initiated ex officio, by a notice (‘notice of initiation’) published in the Official Journal of the European Union, a partial interim review in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation (4). The investigation was limited to the examination of the level of dumping for the two Russian exporting producers NLMK and Viz Stal in order to calculate one single measure for the new joint company. As stated in the notice of initiation, this examination would be made on the basis of data collected during the investigation that led to the imposition of the existing measures.C.   PRODUCT UNDER REVIEW(5) The product under review is grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel, of a thickness of more than 0,16 mm, currently classifiable within CN codes ex 7225 11 00 (of a width of 600 mm or more) and ex 7226 11 00 (of a width of less than 600 mm).(6) GOES are produced from hot-rolled coils of silicon-alloyed steel of different thicknesses of which the particular grain structure is uniformly directed in order to allow for magnetic conductivity with a high degree of efficiency. Inefficiency with regard to this magnetic conductivity is called ‘core loss’, which is the prime indicator of the quality of the product.(7) The market is typically divided into high conductivity or high permeability grades and regular grades. The high permeability grades allow lower core losses to be achieved for any given thickness of the sheets. Such characteristics are especially relevant for industrial producers of electrical power transformers.D.   INVESTIGATION(8) The Commission advised the Community producers of GOES, all known Community importers and users as well as all known exporting producers in the USA and Russia of the initiation of the review.(9) The Commission requested information from all the abovementioned parties and from the other parties who made themselves known within the time limit set in the notice of initiation of the investigation. The Commission also gave the interested parties the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing.E.   RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION1.   Determination of dumping(10) As stated above, the calculation of the dumping margin for the merged entity was based on the data collected during the investigation period of the investigation that led to the imposition of the existing measures (‘the original investigation period’). On this basis, a weighted average of the dumping margins established for NLMK and Viz Stal results in a dumping margin of 0,7 % for the new merged entity.2.   Lasting nature of changed circumstances(11) In accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, it was also examined whether the changed circumstances could reasonably be said to be of a lasting nature. In this regard, the new company, OJSC Novolipetsk Steel, cooperated in the investigation and provided relevant information. With regard to the product flow of this company’s exports to the Community, cooperation was also obtained from the following unrelated companies:— Tuscany Intertrade UK, Edinburgh, United Kingdom,— Moorfield Commodities Company, Lugano, Switzerland.(12) Formerly, NLMK exported to the Community via its related company Stinol AG (Switzerland). However, it was found that, since the beginning of 2006, all sales by NLMK to the Community have been made via the independent traders Tuscany Intertrade UK and Moorfield Commodities Company. Stinol AG has been a dormant company since the end of 2005.(13) Viz Stal was formerly part of the Duferco group and exported via Duferco subsidiaries such as Duferco SA Switzerland and Duferco Commerciale Italy. Since May 2006, all of Viz Stal’s sales to the Community have been made via the independent trader Moorfield Commodities Company.(14) It was also verified that, since its establishment, the new entity, OJSC Novolipetsk Steel, as regards its imports into the Community, has only sold via these two traders thereby continuing to use the same sales channels for sales of GOES to the Community market.(15) In regard to import prices from the two former companies, NLMK and Viz Stal, following the acceptance of a price undertaking in August 2005, NLMK submitted all relevant monitoring information, as required by the terms of the undertaking, to the Commission on a quarterly basis. Following the takeover by NLMK, Viz Stal has voluntarily reported its sales since August 2006 under the framework of the undertaking. It was verified that the current price undertaking for the former NLMK was respected by both the former NLMK and Viz Stal companies.(16) It was found, in fact, that the prices at which Viz Stal, whose products are subject to 0 % anti-dumping duty, has sold GOES on the Community market since August 2006 were higher than those at which the company had sold during the original investigation period. It was also noted that Viz Stal accounted for the bulk of sales of both companies during the original investigation period, and continued to export significantly greater quantities of GOES to the EC than NLMK.(17) Since the existing measures were imposed in August 2005, Community and world market prices have increased significantly. With continuing high world demand for steel products, it is not expected that market prices for GOES will fall in the short- to medium-term. In light of this fact, as well as the fact that Viz Stal (which continued in 2006 to account for significantly greater sales quantities of GOES to the EC than NLMK and was found not to be dumping during the original investigation) has increased its prices since August 2006, it is considered that the findings in recital (10) above are of a lasting nature.F.   CONCLUSION(18) It was found in the original investigation that NLMK and Viz Stal accounted for the entirety of known imports of GOES into the Community from Russia (5). It was also found that OJSC Novolipetsk Steel continues to account for all exports of GOES from Russia to the Community. In light of this, as well as the fact that the dumping margin for OJSC Novolipetsk Steel is at a de minimis level, it is concluded that the anti-dumping measures concerning imports of GOES from Russia should be repealed and the proceeding terminated in accordance with Article 9(3) of the basic Regulation.(19) In light of this conclusion, the Commission decided by Decision 2008/384/EC (6) that the undertaking accepted from NLMK by Decision 2005/622/EC should be repealed.G.   DISCLOSURE(20) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to repeal the measures concerning imports of GOES from Russia and to terminate the proceeding. All parties were given an opportunity to comment. The comments received were not of a nature to change the conclusions.(21) Following disclosure, the Community industry claimed that it has not been substantiated that, as mentioned in recital (17) above, market prices for GOES will not fall in the short- to medium-term and, as a result, the termination of the proceeding is not warranted. In support of its claim that the proceeding should not be terminated, the Community industry states that during the next two years, world capacities for the production of GOES will be expanded by more than 40 % and will significantly exceed demand. The bulk of these capacity increases will occur in the People’s Republic of China. In these circumstances, the Community industry considers that Russia will be pushed away from the Chinese market and will redirect its exports to the European Union (‘EU’). In light of the above, the Community industry considers that the termination of the proceeding is not based on changed circumstances of a lasting nature.(22) It is noted, however, that the current investigation has examined the dumping margin for the new merged entity. This has been found to be at a de minimis level as described in recitals (10) and (18) above. As stated in recital (11) above, an examination has been made as to whether or not this dumping margin, as well as the new structure of the company, can be considered to be of a lasting nature. The investigation has confirmed the lasting nature of these changed circumstances. The fact that Russian exporters might export additional quantities to the EU in the coming years does not alter the conclusion regarding the lasting nature of these changed circumstances,. Articles 1(1) and 1(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1371/2005 shall be replaced by the following:‘1.   A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel of a thickness of more than 0,16 mm, originating in the United States of America, falling within CN codes ex 7225 11 00 (products of a width of 600 mm or more) (TARIC code 7225110010) and ex 7226 11 00 (products of a width of less than 600 mm) (TARIC codes 7226110011 and 7226110091).2.   The rate of the definitive anti-dumping duty applicable, before duty, to the net free-at-Community-frontier price of the products described in paragraph 1 and manufactured by the companies below shall be as follows:Country Company Anti-dumping duty TARIC additional codeAK Steel Corporation,703 Curtis Street,Middletown,OhioAll other companies 37,8 % A999’ The anti-dumping duties on imports of grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel of a thickness of more than 0,16 mm, originating in Russia, falling within CN codes ex 7225 11 00 (products of a width of 600 mm or more) (TARIC code 7225110010) and ex 7226 11 00 (products of a width of less than 600 mm) (TARIC codes 7226110011 and 7226110091) imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1371/2005 are hereby repealed and the proceeding with respect to imports originating in Russia is hereby terminated.

The Agreement applies to seafarers on board every seagoing ship, whether publicly or privately owned, which is registered in the territory of any Member State and is ordinarily engaged in commercial maritime operations. For the purpose of this Agreement a ship that is on the register of two States is deemed to be registered in the territory of the State whose flag it flies.2. In the event of doubt as to whether or not any ships are to be regarded as seagoing ships or engaged in commercial maritime operations for the purpose of the Agreement, the question shall be determined by the competent authority of the Member State. The organisations of shipowners and seafarers concerned should be consulted.Clause 2For the purpose of the Agreement:(a) the term ""hours of work"" means time during which a seafarer is required to do work on account of the ship;(b) the term ""hours of rest"" means time outside hours of work; this term does not include short breaks;(c) the term ""seafarer"" means any person who is employed or engaged in any capacity on board a seagoing ship to which the Agreement applies;(d) the term ""shipowner"" means the owner of the ship or any other organisation or person, such as the manager or bareboat charterer, who has assumed the responsibility for the operation of the ship from the shipowner and who on assuming such responsibility has agreed to take over all the attendant duties and responsibilities.Clause 3Within the limits set out in Clause 5, there shall be fixed either a maximum number of hours of work which shall not be exceeded in a given period of time, or a minimum number or hours of rest which shall be provided in a given period of time.Clause 4Without prejudice to Clause 5, the normal working hours' standard of seafarer is, in principle, based on an eight-hour day with one day of rest per week and rest on public holidays. Member States may have procedures to authorise or register a collective agreement which determines seafarers' normal working hours on a basis on less favourable than this standard.Clause 51. The limits on hours of work or rest shall be either:(a) maximum hours of work which shall not exceed(i) fourteen hours in any 24 hour period; and(ii) 72 hours in any seven-day period;or(b) minimum hours of rest which shall not be less than:(i) ten hours in any 24 hour period; and(ii) 72 hours in any seven-day period.2. Hours of rest may be divided into no more than two periods, one of which shall be at least six hours in length and the interval between consecutive periods of rest shall not exceed 14 hours.3. Musters, fire-fighting and lifeboat drills, and prescribed by national laws and regulations and by international instruments shall be conducted in a manner that minimises the disturbance of rest periods and does not induce fatigue.4. In respect of situations when a seafarer is on call, such as when a machinery space is unattended, the seafarer shall have an adequate compensatory rest period if the normal period of rest is disturbed by call-outs to work.5. With regard to paragraphs 3 and 4, where no collective agreement or arbitration award exists or if the competent authority determines that the provisions in the agreement or award are inadequate, it would be for the competent authority to determine such provisions to ensure that the seafarers concerned have sufficient rest.6. With due regard for the general principles of the protection of the health and safety of workers, Member States may have national laws, regulations or a procedure for the competent authority to authorise or register collective agreements permitting exceptions to the limits set out in paragraphs 1 and 2. Such exceptions shall, as far as possible, follow the standards set out but may take account of more frequent or longer leave periods, or the granting of compensatory leave for watchkeeping seafarers or seafarers working on board ship on short voyages.7. A table shall be posted, in an easily accessible place, with the shipboard working arrangements, which shall contain for every position at least:(a) the schedule of service at sea and service in port; and(b) the maximum hours of work or the minimum hours of rest required by the laws, regulations or collective agreements in force in the Member States.8. The table referred to in paragraph 7 shall be established in a standardised format in the working language or languages of the ship and in English.Clause 6No seafarer under 18 years of age shall work at night. For the purpose of this Clause, ""night"" means a period of at least nine consecutive hours, including the interval from midnight to five a.m. This provision need not be applied when the effective training of young seafarers between the ages of 16 and 18 in accordance with established programmes and schedules would be impaired.Clause 71. The master of a ship shall have the right to require a seafarer to perform any hours of work necessary for the immediate dafety of the ship, persons on board or cargo, or for the purpose of giving assistance to other ships or persons in distress at sea.2. In accordance with paragraph 1, the master may suspend the schedule of hours of work or hours of rest and require a seafarer to perform any hours of work necessary until the normal situation has been restored.3. As soon as practicable after the normal situation has been restored, the master shall ensure that any seafarer who have performed work in a scheduled rest period are provided with an adequate period of rest.Clause 81. Records of seafarers' daily hours of work or of their daily hours of rest shall be maintained to allow monitoring of compliance with the provisions set out in Clause 5. The seafarer shall receive a copy of the records pertaining to him or her which shall be endorsed by the master, or a person authorised by the master, and by the seafarer.2. Procedures shall be determined for keeping such records on board, including the intervals at which the information shall be recorded. The format of the records of the seafarers' hours of work or of their hours of rest shall be established taking into account any available international guidelines. The format shall be established in the language provided by Clause 5, paragraph 8.3. A copy of the relevant provisions of the national legislation pertaining to this Agreement and the relevant collective agreements shall be kept on board and be easily accessible to the crew.Clause 9The records referred to in Clause 8 shall be examined and endorsed at appropriate intervals, to monitor compliance with the provisions governing hours of work or hours of rest that give effect to this Agreement.Clause 101. When determining, approving or revising manning levels, it is necessary to take into account the need to avoid or minimise, as fas as practicable, excessive hours of work, to ensure sufficient rest and to limit fatigue.2. If the records or other evidence indicate infringement of provisions governing hours of work or hours of rest, measures, including if necessary the revision of the manning of the ship, shall be taken so as to avoid future infringements.3. All ships to which this Agreement applies shall be sufficiently, safely and efficiently manned, in accordance with the minimum safe manning document or an equivalent issued by the competent authority.Clause 11No person under 16 years of age shall work on a ship.Clause 12The shipowner shall provide the master with the necessary resources for the purpose of compliance with obligations under this Agreement, including those relating to the appropriate manning of the ship. The master shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the requirements on seafarers' hours of work and rest arising from this Agreement are complied with.Clause 131. All seafarers shall possess a certificate attesting to their fitness for the work or which they are to be employed at sea.The nature of the health assessment to be made and the particulars to be included in the medical certifcate shall be established after consultation with the shipowners and seafarers organisations concerned.All seafarers shall have regular health assessments. Watchkeepers suffering from health problems certified by a medical practitioner as being due to the fact that they perform night work shall be transferred, wherever possible, to day work to which they are suited.2. The health assessment referred to in paragraph 1 shall be free and comply with medical confidentiality. Such health assessments may be conducted within the national health system.Clause 14Shipowners shall provide information on watchkeepers and other night workers to the national competent authority if they so request.Clause 15Seafarers shall have safety and health protection appropriate to the nature of their work. Equivalent protection and prevention services or facilities with regard to the safety and health of seafarers working by day or by night shall be available.Clause 16Every seafarer shall be entitled to paid annual leave of at least four weeks, or a proportion thereof for periods of employment of less than one year, in accordance with the conditions for entitlement to, and granting of, such leave laid down by national legislation and or/practice.The minimum period of paid annual leave may not be replaced by an allowance in lieu, except where the employment relationship is terminated.Brussels, 30 Septembre 1998.Federation of Transport Workers' Unions in the European Union (FST)European Community Shipowners' Association (ECSA)

44915,"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/392 of 9 March 2015 terminating a ‘new exporter’ review of Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of trichloroisocyanuric acid originating in the People's Republic of China, re-imposing the duty with regard to imports from the exporter and terminating the registration of these imports. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (‘the basic Regulation’) (1) and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,Whereas:1.   Measures in force(1) In October 2005, the Council imposed definitive anti-dumping measures on imports of trichloroisocyanuric acid and preparations thereof (‘TCCA’), originating in the People's Republic of China (‘PRC’) by Regulation (EC) No 1631/2005 (2) (‘the original Regulation’). The anti-dumping duty rates ranged from 7,3 % to 42,6 %.(2) By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 855/2010 (3), the Council amended the original Regulation by lowering the anti-dumping duty rate for one exporting producer to 3,2 %.(3) Following an expiry review, pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, the Council imposed definitive anti-dumping measures consisting of individual duties ranging from 3,2 % to 40,5 % with a residual duty of 42,6 % on imports of TCCA originating in the PRC by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 (4).(4) By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 569/2014 (5), the Commission imposed an individual duty rate of 32,8 % on one new exporting producer.2.   Current investigation(5) On 4 January 2014, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) received a request to initiate a ‘new exporter’ review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. The request was lodged by Juancheng Kangtai Chemical Co. Ltd (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer of TCCA in the PRC. The applicant claimed that it did not export TCCA to the European Union during the period of investigation of the original investigation and started exporting only after the end of that period. It also claimed that it was not related to any of the exporting producers of TCCA which are subject to the measures in force.(6) The Commission considered that the prima facie evidence submitted by the applicant was sufficient to justify the initiation of a review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. After the Union producers had been given an opportunity to comment, the Commission initiated, by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 727/2014 (6), a review of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 with regard to the applicant.(7) Pursuant to Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 727/2014, the anti-dumping duty imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 was repealed with regard to the applicant. Simultaneously, pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission directed the customs authorities to register the applicant's imports.3.   Withdrawal of the request(8) On 28 November 2014, the applicant formally withdrew its request for a ‘new exporter’ review. On this basis, the Commission considered that the review investigation should be terminated.4.   Disclosure(9) The Commission informed the interested parties of the intention to terminate the review investigation, to re-impose a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of TCCA and to levy this duty retroactively on imports subject to registration under Implementing Regulation (EU) No 727/2014. Interested parties were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received.5.   Retroactive levying of the anti-dumping duty(10) In view of the findings outlined above, the Commission concluded that the review concerning imports of TCCA manufactured by Juancheng Kangtai Chemical Co. Ltd and originating in the People's Republic of China should be terminated. Consequently, the registration of the applicant's imports should cease and the country-wide duty applicable to all other companies (42,6 %) imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 should be levied retroactively on these imports from the date of initiation of this review.(11) This Regulation is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation.. 1.   The new exporter review initiated by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 727/2014 is hereby terminated and the anti-dumping duty applicable according to Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 to all other companies (TARIC additional code A999) in the People's Republic of China is hereby imposed on imports identified in Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 727/2014.2.   The anti-dumping duty applicable according to Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1389/2011 to all other companies in the People's Republic of China is hereby levied with effect from 2 July 2014 on imports of trichloroisocyanuric acid and preparations thereof, also referred to as ‘symclosene’ under the international non-proprietary name (INN), which have been registered pursuant to Article 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 727/2014.3.   The customs authorities are hereby directed to cease the registration of imports carried out pursuant to Article 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 727/2014.4.   Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.

36703,"2009/861/EC: Commission Decision of 30 November 2009 on transitional measures under Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regard the processing of non-compliant raw milk in certain milk processing establishments in Bulgaria (notified under document C(2009) 9282) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1) and in particular Article 9 thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (2) lays down general rules for food business operators on the hygiene of foodstuffs based amongst others on the principles of hazard analysis and critical control points. It provides that food business operators are to comply with certain procedures based on those principles.(2) Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators and supplements the rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004. The rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 include hygiene requirements for raw milk and dairy products.(3) Pursuant to point (c) of Section B of Chapter 4 of Annex VI to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania (the Act of Accession), Bulgaria has been granted a transitional period, expiring on 31 December 2009, for compliance by certain milk processing establishments with those hygiene requirements.(4) Certain establishments which are authorised to process raw milk which does not comply with the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 (non-compliant milk) are listed in Chapter I of the Appendix to Annex VI to the Act of Accession. Certain establishments which are authorised to process both compliant and non-compliant milk, provided that such processing is carried out on separate production lines, are listed in Chapter II of that Appendix.(5) Milk production holdings that do not comply with the hygiene requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 are spread over the whole territory of Bulgaria. The proportion of raw milk that complies with those requirements, delivered to milk processing establishments in Bulgaria, has only increased slightly during the last years.(6) Taking into account the current situation, it is appropriate to provide for a time-limited derogation from the hygiene requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 with a view to permitting Bulgaria to bring its milk sector in compliance with those requirements.(7) In light of this situation, certain milk processing establishments listed in Annex I to this Decision should be allowed, by way of derogation from Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, to continue to process also after 31 December 2009 compliant and non-compliant milk provided that the processing is carried out on separate production lines. In addition, certain milk processing establishments listed in Annex II to this Decision should be allowed to continue to process non-compliant milk without separate production lines.(8) The marketing of dairy products derived from non-compliant milk should, however, be restricted to Bulgaria or used for further processing in the milk processing establishments covered by the derogation provided for in this Decision.(9) The transitional period granted by this Decision should be limited to 24 months from 1 January 2010. The situation in the milk sector in Bulgaria should be reviewed before the end of that period. Bulgaria should therefore submit annual reports to the Commission regarding progress in the upgrading of milk production holdings supplying raw milk to milk processing establishments in that Member State and the system for collecting and transporting non-compliant milk.(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. For the purposes of this Decision ‘non-compliant milk’ means raw milk which does not comply with the requirements set out in Annex III, Section IX, Chapter I, Subchapters II and III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004. By way of derogation from the requirements set out in Annex III, Section IX, Chapter I, Subchapters II and III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, the milk processing establishments listed in Annex I to this Decision may continue to process, until 31 December 2011, compliant and non-compliant milk provided that the processing of the compliant and the non-compliant milk is carried out on separate production lines. By way of derogation from the requirements set out in Annex III, Section IX, Chapter I, Subchapters II and III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, the milk processing establishments listed in Annex II to this Decision may continue to process, until 31 December 2011, non-compliant milk without separate production lines. Dairy products derived from non-compliant milk shall only:(a) be placed on the domestic market in Bulgaria; or(b) be used for further processing in the milk processing establishments in Bulgaria referred to in Articles 2 and 3.Such dairy products shall bear a health or identification mark which is different from the health or identification mark provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004. Bulgaria shall submit annual reports to the Commission on progress made in bringing the following in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 853/2004:(a) production holdings producing non-compliant milk;(b) the system for collecting and transporting non-compliant milk;The first annual report shall be submitted to the Commission by 31 December 2010, at the latest, and the second annual report by 31 October 2011, at the latest.The form set out in Annex III shall be used for those reports.

41969,"2013/271/EU: Commission Implementing Decision of 6 June 2013 amending the annex to Implementing Decision 2012/117/EU establishing a list of key decision points to evaluate the implementation of the Galileo programme with regard to the ground-based centres and stations to be created as part of the programme development and deployment. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 on the further implementation of the European satellite navigation programmes (EGNOS and Galileo) (1), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) In the Annex to the French version of Commission Implementing Decision 2012/117/EU (2), several references are made to protocols of agreement to be signed with the Member States on whose territory the centres or stations are located. However, these are in fact not protocols of agreement but agreements.(2) Implementing Decision 2012/117/EU provides for the setting-up of a centre to monitor the security of the system and the services provided, known as the ‘Galileo Security Centre (GSMC)’. The French version of the Annex to the Decision specifies that the creation of this centre will be the subject of protocols of agreement between France and the United Kingdom to be signed during 2012.(3) In fact, the protocols of agreement between France and the United Kingdom for the creation of the Galileo Security Centre were not signed in 2012, but agreements should be signed in 2013.(4) Implementing Decision 2012/117/EU also provides for the development of a ‘GNSS service centre (GSC)’ in Madrid, to act as the interface between the system, on the one side, and the users of the open service, the commercial service and the Safety of Life Service on the other. The French version of the Annex to the Decision specifies that the creation of this centre was the subject of a protocol of agreement signed with Spain on 17 March 2011.(5) In fact, the text signed on 17 March 2011 was not a protocol of agreement but merely a memorandum of understanding. The development of the GSC should, however, be the subject of an agreement with Spain in 2013.(6) Implementing Decision 2012/117/EU also provides for the development of a centre, known as the ‘Galileo performance centre’, which, on behalf of the programme manager and independently of the user, evaluates the quality of the services provided and communicates time and geodetic references to the user communities.(7) For reasons relating to the nature of the functions of the Galileo performance centre, the name of the centre as shown in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2012/117/EU should be amended to ‘Galileo reference centre’ (‘GRC’). Furthermore, in the light of the presence of existing installations and equipment suitable for the tasks assigned to the Galileo reference centre, the security needs, and the technical and budgetary constraints linked to its operation, it would seem that the ESTEC site in Noordwijk, in the Netherlands, owned by the European Space Agency, is best placed to host the centre. It must be pointed out that the Galileo reference centre should not overlap with the instruments already in place in the Member States. Lastly, the development of the centre will not be completed in 2014 but only in 2016.(8) Implementing Decision 2012/117/EU further provides for the creation of a series of Galileo distance survey centres, known as ‘GSS stations’ which, to allow the provision of services, carry out pseudo-distance measuring and collect the signals sent by the satellites to monitor their quality. The optimum distribution around the globe of these stations should take account of geographical limitations.(9) The series of GSS stations does not include any stations in the North Pacific area. As it is essential that this area also be covered, a GSS station should be set up there. The said station is planned for Tokyo, in Japan, in the Belgian embassy, should the results of the feasibility studies prove positive.(10) The Annex to implementing Decision 2012/117/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 19(1) of Regulation (EC) No 683/2008,. The Annex to Implementing Decision 2012/117/EU is amended as follows:(1) in the row relating to the creation of the Galileo security centre (GSMC), in the ‘Measures’ column, the words ‘of protocols of agreement’ appearing in the French version are replaced by the words ‘of agreements’ and the year ‘2012’ is replaced by the year ‘2013’;(2) in the row relating to the development of a GNSS service centre (GSC), in the ‘Measures’ column, the sentence ‘It is the subject of an agreement signed with Spain on 17 March 2011’ is replaced with the sentence ‘It is the subject of a memorandum of understanding signed with Spain on 17 March 2011 and is expected to be the subject of an agreement with Spain to be signed during 2013’;(3) in the row relating to the development of an SAR service centre, in the ‘Measures’ column the words ‘of a protocol of agreement’ appearing in the French version are replaced by the words ‘of an agreement’;(4) the row relating to the development of a Galileo performance centre is amended as follows:(a) in the ‘Date’ column, the years ‘2013-2014’ are replaced by the years ‘2013-2016’;(b) in the ‘Key decision-making point’ column, the words ‘Development of a Galileo performance centre’ are replaced by the words ‘Development of a Galileo reference centre’;(c) in the ‘Measures’ column, the sentences ‘The Galileo performance centre should be developed in stages in a Member State and at a location to be determined. Work is planned to start in 2013 and is expected to be completed in 2014. It will be the subject of an agreement signed with the Member State concerned.’ are replaced with the sentences ‘The Galileo reference centre should be developed in stages on the ESTEC site (the Netherlands). Work is planned to start in 2013 and is expected to be completed in 2016. It will be the subject of an agreement with the Netherlands.’;(5) In the row relating to the creation of GSS stations, in the ‘Measures’ column, second paragraph, the words ‘Tokyo (Japan),’ are inserted between ‘Madeira (Portugal),’ and ‘Kerguelen’. This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union..

44111,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 605/2014 of 5 June 2014 amending, for the purposes of introducing hazard and precautionary statements in the Croatian language and its adaptation to technical and scientific progress, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Republic of Croatia and the adjustments to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (1), and in particular Article 50 thereof,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (2), and in particular Article 37(5) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 487/2013 (3) amends some of the language tables for hazard statements included in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and some of the language tables for precautionary statements included in Annex IV to that Regulation. With the accession of Croatia to the European Union on 1 July 2013, it is necessary that all hazard and precautionary statements provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 487/2013 are available in the Croatian language as well. This Regulation introduces the necessary adjustments to the language tables.(2) Part 3 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 contains two lists of harmonised classification and labelling of hazardous substances. Table 3.1 lists the harmonised classification and labelling of hazardous substances based on the criteria set out in Parts 2 to 5 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Table 3.2 lists the harmonised classification and labelling of hazardous substances based on the criteria set out in Annex VI to Council Directive 67/548/EEC (4).(3) Proposals for new or updated harmonised classification and labelling of certain substances have been submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) pursuant to Article 37 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on the opinions on those proposals issued by the Committee for Risk Assessment of ECHA, as well as on the comments received from the parties concerned, it is appropriate to introduce, remove or update harmonised classification and labelling of certain substances by amending Annex VI to that Regulation.(4) Compliance with the new harmonised classifications should not be required immediately, as a certain period of time will be necessary to allow suppliers to adapt the labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures to the new classifications and to sell existing stocks. In addition, a certain period of time will be necessary to allow suppliers to comply with the registration obligations resulting from the new harmonised classifications for substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction, categories 1A and 1B (Table 3.1) and categories 1 and 2 (Table 3.2), or as very toxic to aquatic organisms which may cause long term effects in the aquatic environment, in particular with those set out in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).(5) In line with the transitional provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 which allow the application of the new provisions at an earlier stage on a voluntary basis, suppliers should have the possibility of applying the new harmonised classifications and of adapting the labelling and packaging accordingly on a voluntary basis before the deadline for compliance.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 133 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006,. Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 is amended as follows:(1) Annex III is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation;(2) Annex IV is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation;(3) Annex VI is amended in accordance with Annex III to this Regulation. 1.   By way of derogation from Article 3(2), substances and mixtures may, before 1 December 2014 and 1 June 2015 respectively, be classified, labelled and packaged in accordance with this Regulation.2.   By way of derogation from Article 3(2), substances classified, labelled and packaged in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and placed on the market before 1 December 2014, shall not be required to be relabelled and repackaged in accordance with this Regulation until 1 December 2016.3.   By way of derogation from Article 3(2), mixtures classified, labelled and packaged in accordance with Directive 1999/45/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) or Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and placed on the market before 1 June 2015, shall not be required to be relabelled and repackaged in accordance with this Regulation until 1 June 2017.4.   By way of derogation from Article 3(3), the harmonised classifications set out in Annex III to this Regulation may be applied before the date referred to in Article 3(3). 1.   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.2.   Article 1(1) and (2) shall apply in respect of substances from 1 December 2014 and in respect of mixtures from 1 June 2015.3.   Article 1(3) shall apply from 1 April 2015.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

37715,"2010/469/EU: Decision of the European Central Bank of 19 August 2010 on non-compliance with statistical reporting requirements (ECB/2010/10). ,Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 5.1 and 34.1 thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the collection of statistical information by the European Central Bank (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the powers of the European Central Bank to impose sanctions (2), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2157/1999 of the European Central Bank of 23 September 1999 on the powers of the European Central Bank to impose sanctions (ECB/1999/4) (3),Whereas:(1) Regulations (EC) No 25/2009 of the European Central Bank of 19 December 2008 concerning the balance sheet of the monetary financial institutions sector (recast) (ECB/2008/32) (4) and (EC) No 63/2002 of the European Central Bank of 20 December 2001 concerning statistics on interest rates applied by monetary financial institutions to deposits and loans vis-à-vis households and non-financial corporations (ECB/2001/18) (5) lay down the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) statistical reporting requirements which reporting agents must comply with.(2) Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 provides that the ECB has the power to impose sanctions on reporting agents which fail to comply with statistical reporting requirements set out in ECB regulations or decisions.(3) To ensure equal treatment of reporting agents, the ECB should adopt a harmonised approach to the calculation of sanctions for infringements of the reporting requirements, to the infringement procedure and to any preceding phase,. DefinitionsFor the purposes of this Decision:1. ‘reporting agent’ has the same meaning as in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98;2. ‘monetary financial institution’ (MFI) has the same meaning as in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 (ECB/2008/32);3. ‘infringement’ and ‘sanction’ have the same meaning as in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2532/98;4. ‘serious misconduct’ includes any of the following infringements of reporting requirements by reporting agents:(a) systematic reporting of incorrect data;(b) systematic failure to comply with the minimum standards for revisions;(c) intentional incorrect, delayed or incomplete reporting;(d) insufficient degree of diligence or cooperation with the relevant NCB or the ECB;5. ‘competent national central bank’ (competent NCB) means the NCB of the Member State in whose jurisdiction the infringement occurred;6. ‘NCB deadline’ means the date set by each NCB for receiving data from the reporting agents. Scope of application1.   The ECB and the NCBs shall monitor the compliance of reporting agents with the minimum standards required to meet their reporting obligations, as set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 (ECB/2008/32) and Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 63/2002 (ECB/2001/18). In the event of non-compliance, the ECB and the competent NCB may decide to conduct an assessment phase and/or initiate an infringement procedure as referred to in Article 3(1) and (2). Following an infringement procedure the ECB may impose sanctions in line with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98.2.   Sanctions may be imposed following an infringement procedure in the event of failure to comply with minimum standards for transmission (in relation to timeliness and technical reporting requirements), accuracy (in relation to linear constraints and data consistency across frequencies) and conceptual compliance (in relation to definitions and classifications). Sanctions are also applied in the case of serious misconduct. Assessment phase and infringement procedure1.   Prior to the initiation of an infringement procedure under Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 and Regulation (EC) No 2157/1999 (ECB/1999/4):(a) the competent NCB may, where it has logged non-compliance with the reporting requirements, give a warning to the reporting agent concerned informing it of the nature of the non-compliance logged, and recommend corrective measures to be taken in order to avoid repetition of the non-compliance;(b) the ECB or the competent NCB may ask the reporting agent concerned for any information relating to the non-compliance pursuant to Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2157/1999 (ECB/1999/4);(c) the reporting agent concerned shall be given an opportunity to provide explanations if it considers that the non-compliance was due to circumstances beyond its control.2.   Either the ECB or the competent NCB may initiate an infringement procedure in line with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 and Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2157/1999 (ECB/1999/4). The following rules shall also apply:(a) an infringement procedure shall be initiated, without any assessment phase, in the case of serious misconduct;(b) without prejudice to point (a), an infringement procedure shall be initiated after repeated non-compliance has been logged by the competent NCB, unless:(i) the ECB or the competent NCB consider that no infringement procedure should be initiated as one or more of the logged cases of non-compliance is beyond the reporting agent’s control; or(ii) the potential fine would not reach the minimum threshold for the imposition of a sanction.3.   If the ECB or the competent NCB initiates an infringement procedure, the procedure shall be carried out in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2532/98, including the issuing of a written notification and the adoption of a reasoned decision by the ECB. Application of sanctions1.   Sanctions shall be calculated following a two-stage procedure. First a baseline amount is calculated which reflects quantitative aspects. The circumstances of the case as referred to in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 are then taken into account and may affect the actual amount of the sanction.2.   In the case of infringements relating to timeliness, the seriousness of the infringement shall depend on the number of working days of delay vis-à-vis the NCB deadline.3.   In the case of infringements relating to inaccuracy and/or conceptual compliance, the seriousness of the infringement shall depend on the size of the error. The ECB shall not take into account errors of a rounding nature or negligible errors. In addition, as regards conceptual compliance, ordinary revisions, i.e. non-systematic revisions to the series reported within the period (month or quarter) following the initial reporting, shall not be considered as cases of conceptual non-compliance.4.   Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98 sets forth the maximum sanctions which the ECB may impose on reporting agents.5.   If an infringement of statistical reporting requirements also results in an infringement of minimum reserve requirements, no sanction shall be imposed for the infringement of the statistical reporting requirements. Final provisionThis Decision shall enter into force on 1 September 2010. It shall apply from the reference period December 2010 for monthly and annual reporting requirements and the fourth quarter 2010 for quarterly reporting requirements..

31429,"2006/146/EC: Commission Decision of  21 February 2006  on certain protection measures with regard to certain fruit bats, dogs and cats coming from Malaysia (Peninsula) and Australia  (notified under document number C(2006) 417)   (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Decision 1999/507/EC of 26 July 1999 on certain protection measures with regard to certain fruit bats, dogs and cats coming from Malaysia (Peninsula) and Australia (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Decision should be codified.(2) The principal animal health conditions to be complied with by Member States when importing from third countries dogs, cats and other animals susceptible to rabies are laid down in 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 (4). However the veterinary certification is not yet harmonised.(3) Fatal cases of Hendra disease and Nipah disease in human beings have been declared respectively in Australia and in Malaysia.(4) Fruit bats of the genus Pteropus are considered the natural host of Hendra disease virus and incriminated in being the virus reservoir for Nipah disease. However these mammals do not show clinical signs of disease and may harbour the virus in the presence of neutralising antibodies.(5) Fruit bats are occasionally imported from third countries. Pending Community animal health conditions for imports from third countries of fruit bats, it appears necessary to introduce certain protection measures with regard to Hendra and Nipah diseases.(6) Hendra disease may be transmitted by cats, and dogs and cats contract Nipah disease. The exposure to the respective viruses stimulates seroconversion in diseased and reconvalescent animals, which can be detected by laboratory testing.(7) The presence of this zoonotic disease in the above countries is liable to constitute a danger for persons and susceptible animals in the Community.(8) It is necessary to adopt protection measures at Community level with regard to imports of fruit bats, dogs and cats from Malaysia (Peninsula) and Australia.(9) However, Hendra disease, being a notifiable disease in accordance with Australian law, has not been reported in Australia since 1999. Therefore, no special laboratory tests should be required for cats imported from Australia.(10) For the sake of clarity provisions should be made allowing the transit of dogs and cats through international airports in Malaysia.(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. 1.   Imports of fruit bats of the genus Pteropus from Malaysia (Peninsula) and Australia are prohibited.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1 and without prejudice to the provisions of Directive 92/65/EEC, fruit bats of the genus Pteropus may be imported under the following conditions:(a) the animals originate from captive colonies,(b) the animals have been isolated in quarantine premises for at least 60 days,(c) the animals have been subjected with negative results to a serum neutralisation or approved ELISA test for antibody against Hendra and Nipah disease viruses, carried out in a laboratory approved for these tests by the competent authorities on samples of blood taken on two occasions with an interval of 21 to 30 days, the second sample to be taken within 10 days of export. 1.   Imports of dogs and cats from Malaysia (Peninsula) are prohibited.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1 dogs and cats may be imported under the following conditions:(a) the animals have had no contact with pigs during at least the past 60 days prior to export,(b) the animals have not been resident on holdings where during the past 60 days cases of Nipah disease have been confirmed,(c) the animals have been subjected with negative result to an IgG capture ELISA test carried out in a laboratory approved for testing for antibody against the Nipah disease viruses by the competent veterinary authorities on a sample of blood taken within 10 days of export.3.   The prohibition referred to in paragraph 1 shall not apply to dogs and cats in transit, provided they remain within the perimeter of an international airport. 1.   Imports of cats from Australia are prohibited.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, cats may be imported under the condition that the animals have not been resident on holdings where during the past 60 days cases of Hendra disease have been confirmed.3.   The prohibition referred to in paragraph 1 shall not apply to cats in transit, provided they remain within the perimeter of an international airport. Decision 1999/507/EC is repealed.References to the repealed Decision shall be construed as references to this Decision and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex II.

However, that Directive permits derogations from that rule, provided that it is established that there is no risk of spreading harmful organisms.(2) Commission Decision 2003/248/EC (2) authorises Member States to provide for temporary derogations from certain provisions of Directive 2000/29/EC to permit the import of plants of strawberry (Fragaria L.), intended for planting, other than seeds, originating in Argentina.(3) The circumstances justifying the authorisation provided for in Decision 2003/248/EC are still present and there is no new information giving cause for revision of the specific conditions.(4) By Commission Directive 2008/64/EC (3)Colletotrichum acutatum Simmonds was removed from point (c) of Section II of Part A of Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC. Therefore this organism should no longer be included in the Annex to Decision 2003/248/EC.(5) Based on the experience gained with the application of Decision 2003/248/EC it is appropriate to extend the period of validity of that authorisation for 10 years.(6) Decision 2003/248/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 Plant Health,. Decision 2003/248/EC is amended as follows:(1) the second paragraph of Article 1 of Decision 2003/248/EC is replaced by the following:(2) the following Article 3a is inserted:(3) the second indent of point 1(c) of the Annex is deleted.

19957,"2000/709/EC: Commission Decision of 6 November 2000 on the minimum criteria to be taken into account by Member States when designating bodies in accordance with Article 3(4) of Directive 1999/93/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on a Community framework for electronic signatures (notified under document number C(2000) 3179) (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 1999/93/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 1999 on a Community framework for electronic signatures(1), and in particular Article 3(4) thereof,Whereas:(1) On 13 December 1999, the European Parliament and the Council adopted the Directive 1999/93/EC on a Community framework for electronic signatures.(2) Annex III to Directive 1999/93/EC contains the requirements for secure signature-creation-devices. According to Article 3(4) of the Directive, the conformity of secure signature-creation-devices with the requirements laid down in Annex III shall be determined by appropriate public or private bodies designated by Member States and the Commission shall establish criteria for Member States to determine whether a body should be designated for performing such conformity assessments.(3) The establishment of the above criteria by the Commission has to be made after consultation of the ""Electronic Signature Committee"" set up under Article 9(1) of Directive 1999/93/EC.(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the ""Electronic Signature Committee"",. The purpose of this Decision is to establish the criteria for Member States to determine whether a national body should be designated as responsible for the conformity assessments of secure signature-creation-devices. Where a designated body is part of an organisation involved in activities other than conformance assessment of secure signature-creation-devices with the requirements laid down in Annex III to Directive 1999/93/EC it must be identifiable within that organisation. Different activities must be clearly distinguished. The body and its staff must not engage in any activities that may conflict with their independence of judgement and integrity in relation to their task. In particular, the body must be independent of the parties involved. Therefore, the body, its executive officer and the staff responsible for carrying out the conformance assessment tasks must not be a designer, manufacturer, supplier or installer of secure signature-creation-devices, or a certification service provider issuing certificates to the public, nor the authorised representative of any of such parties.In addition, they must be financially independent and not become directly involved in the design, construction, marketing or maintenance of secure signature-creation-devices, nor represent the parties engaged in these activities. This does not preclude the possibility of exchange of technical information between the manufacturer and the designated body. The body and its personnel must be able to determine the conformity of secure signature-creation-devices with the requirements laid down in Annex III to Directive 1999/93/EC with a high degree of professional integrity, reliability and sufficient technical competence. The body shall be transparent in its conformity assessment practices and shall record all relevant information concerning these practices. All interested parties must have access to the services of the body. The procedures under which the body operates must be administered in a non-discriminatory manner. The body must have at its disposal the necessary staff and facilities to enable it to perform properly and swiftly the technical and administrative work associated with the task for which it has been designated. The personnel responsible for conformity assessment must have:- sound technical and vocational training, particularly in the field of electronic signature technologies and the related IT security aspects,- satisfactory knowledge of the requirements of the conformity assessments they carry out and adequate experience to carry out such assessments. The impartiality of staff shall be guaranteed. Their remuneration shall not depend on the number of conformity assessments carried out nor on the results of such conformity assessments. The body must have adequate arrangements to cover liabilities arising from its activities, for example, by obtaining appropriate insurance. 0The body must have adequate arrangements to ensure the confidentiality of the information obtained in carrying out its tasks under Directive 1999/93/EC or any provision of national law giving effect thereto, except vis-a-vis the competent authorities of the designating Member State. 1Where a designated body arranges for the carrying out of a part of the conformity assessments by another party, it must ensure and be able to demonstrate that this party is competent to perform the service in question. The designated body must take full responsibility for the work carried out under those arrangements. The final decision remains with the designated body. 2This Decision is addressed to the Member States..
