whereas the percentages of the production of each such producer which must be delivered for distillation should therefore be fixed; whereas, while being based on objective criteria, those percentages must be adapted to the situation of each region and must take account of the exemptions from compulsory distillation provided for in Article 8 (1) or Council Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 of 24 May 1988 on the granting, for the 1988/89 to 1995/96 wine years, of permanent abandonment premiums in respect of winegrowing areas (6); as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1327/90 (7); whereas the scale used must allow a quantity of table wine corresponding to the obligation provided for in Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3747/90 to be deducted from a region's quantity; whereas that obligation applied only in the case of producers who are required to submit a production declaration and who market the products concerned; whereas the yield classes should accordingly set out only the quantities covered by the production declarations, on which the scale is based;Whereas, in accordance with the provisions on the fixing of the scale provided for in the fourth subparagraph of Article 39 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, reference must be made to the average yield of each production region in which the scales are drawn up;Whereas the structure and size of vineyards in the various regions lead not only to different production costs but also to different production costs but also to different incomes for producers; whereas account must therefore be taken of that situation; whereas, moreover, increases in yield per hectare affect in different ways the quality of the wine produced in the regions which are subject to compulsory distillation; whereas, in region 3, any exceeding of the average yield in general impairs the quality of the product; whereas, in those circumstances and in order to channel wine-growing towards higher quality production, the major quantity covered by the obligation to distil should relate to production obtained with a yield exceeding the average for region 3 and production obtained with a yield lower than that average should be exempted from the obligation; whereas weather conditions in region 4 on the other hand are such that the yield per hectare does not have such a direct effect on the quality of production; whereas in that region a low yield may even result in a quantity of wine that is not suitable for direct consumption; whereas it is therefore possible in that region to make provision for a scale which is graduated but applies to the entire production; whereas yields in region 6 are on average below those of other regions; whereas the yield has relatively little impact on the product's quality in that region; whereas provision may be made in that region for a scale which would exclude only what is produced on the basis of the lowest yields, in other words yields which would tend to result in an obligation to deliver for distillation only very small quantities which would qualify for exemption under Regulation (EEC) No 441/88;Whereas the scale to be established must be incremental, thus penalizing the highest yields, and ensure that, the quantitative limits laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3747/90 for the various production regions should not be exceeded;Whereas, in view of the derogation provided for in Article 39 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87, it must be specified that the quantity for preventive distillation is to be deducted from the quantity for compulsory distillation in Greece;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,. 1. Pursuant to Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 441/88, production from the 1990/91 harvest shall be broken down into the following yield classes:(a) Region 3:Production obtained with a yield, expressed in hectolitres per hectare:- up to 90: 21 743 362 hectolitres, - 90 or more, but not more than 110: 2 871 704 hectolitres, - of more than 110, but not more than 140: 690 814 hectolitres, - of more than 140, but not more than 200: 204 549 hectolitres, - exceeding 200: 113 766 hectolitres;(b) Region 4:Production obtained with a yield, expressed in hectolitres per hectare:- not exceeding 65: 11 165 480 hectolitres, - of more than 65, but not more than 80: 5 461 220 hectolitres, - of more than 80, but not more than 90: 4 830 652 hectolitres, - of more than 90, but not more than 110: 6 914 952 hectolitres, - of more than 110, but not more than 130: 5 124 434 hectolitres, - of more than 130, but not more than 140: 907 864 hectolitres, - of more than 140, but not more than 200: 612 954 hectolitres, - of more than 150, but not more than 200: 615 016 hectolitres, - exceeding 200: 39 425 hectolitres;(c) Region 6:- Part A: production 105 110 hectolitres, - Part B: 25 974 921 hectolitres.Production obtained with a yield, expressed in hectolitres per hectare:- not exceeding 10: 271 750 hectolitres, - of more than 10, but not more than 15: 1 048 610 hectolitres, - of more than 15, butnot more than 20: 1 686 479 hectolitres, - of more than 20, but not more than 30: 6 766 757 hectolitres, - of more than 30, but not more than 45: 12 159 411 hectolitres, - of more than 45, but not more than 70: 3 656 231 hectolitres, - exceeding 70: 385 683 hectolitres;2. The average yield in production region 3 shall be 71,5 hectolitres per hectare; in region 4 it shall be 75 hectolitres per hectare; in region 6 it shall be 30,01 hectolitres per hectare. The quantity that each producer shall be required to deliver for distillation shall be determined by multiplying the quantity referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 441/88 by the percentage shown in the table in the Annex which corresponds to the yield determined in accordance with Article 7 of the said Regulation. The yield shall, where appropriate, be rounded down to the nearest unit (hectolitres per hectare). In the case of region 5 as referred to in Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 441/88, the quantity for preventive distillation in that region pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2273/90 (8) shall be deducted from the quantity referred to in Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3747/90. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

In that case, personal data may be transferred from the Member States without additional guarantees being necessary.(3) Pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC the level of data protection should be assessed in the light of all the circumstances surrounding a data transfer operation or a set of data transfer operations, and giving particular consideration to a number of elements relevant for the transfer and listed in Article 25(2) thereof.(4) Given the different approaches to data protection in third countries, the adequacy assessment should be carried out, and any decision based on Article 25(6) of Directive 95/46/EC should be made and enforced in a way that does not arbitrarily or unjustifiably discriminate against or between third countries where like conditions prevail, nor constitute a disguised barrier to trade, regard being had to the Community's present international commitments.(5) The Bailiwick of Jersey is one of the dependencies of the British Crown (being neither part of the United Kingdom nor a colony) that enjoys full independence, except for international relations and defense which are the responsibility of the United Kingdom Government. The Bailiwick of Jersey is therefore to be considered as a third country within the meaning of Directive 95/46/EC.(6) With effect from 1951 and 1987 respectively, the United Kingdom's ratification of the European Convention on Human Rights and the Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Individuals with regard to automatic processing of personal data (Convention No 108) were extended to the Bailiwick of Jersey.(7) As regards the Bailiwick of Jersey, the legal standards on the protection of personal data largely based on the standards set out in Directive 95/46/EC have been provided for in the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 1987, which entered into force on 11 November 1987 and two ancillary laws, the Data Protection (Amendment) (Jersey) Law 2005, and the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005 (Appointed Day) Act 2005.(8) Secondary legislation has also been adopted under the authority of the Data Protection (Jersey) Law, in 2005, laying down specific rules concerning issues such as subject access, processing of sensitive data and notification to the data protection authority (3).(9) The legal standards applicable in Jersey cover all the basic principles necessary for an adequate level of protection for natural persons. The application of these standards is guaranteed by judicial remedy and by independent supervision carried out by the authority, the Data Protection Commissioner, who is invested with powers of investigation and intervention.(10) Jersey should therefore be regarded as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data as referred to in Directive 95/46/EC.(11) In the interest of transparency and in order to safeguard the ability of the competent authorities in the Member States to ensure the protection of individuals as regards the processing of their personal data, it is necessary to specify the exceptional circumstances in which the suspension of specific data flows may be justified, notwithstanding the finding of adequate protection.(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 31(1) of Directive 95/46/EC,. For the purposes of Article 25(2) of Directive 95/46/EC, the Bailiwick of Jersey is considered as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the Community. This Decision concerns the adequacy of protection provided in Jersey with a view to meeting the requirements of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC and does not affect other conditions or restrictions implementing other provisions of that Directive that pertain to the processing of personal data within the Member States. 1.   Without prejudice to their powers to take action to ensure compliance with national provisions adopted pursuant to provisions other than Article 25 of Directive 95/46/EC, the competent authorities in Member States may exercise their existing powers to suspend data flows to a recipient in Jersey in order to protect individuals with regard to the processing of their personal data in the following cases:(a) where a competent Jersey authority has determined that the recipient is in breach of the applicable standards of protection; or(b) where there is a substantial likelihood that the standards of protection are being infringed, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the competent Jersey authority is not taking or will not take adequate and timely steps to settle the case at issue, the continuing transfer would create an imminent risk of grave harm to data subjects and the competent authorities in the Member State have made reasonable efforts in the circumstances to provide the party responsible for processing established in Jersey with notice and an opportunity to respond.2.   The suspension shall cease as soon as the standards of protection are assured and the competent authority of the Member States concerned is notified thereof. 1.   Member States shall inform the Commission without delay when measures are adopted on the basis of Article 3.2.   The Member States and the Commission shall inform each other of cases where the action of bodies responsible for ensuring compliance with the standards of protection in Jersey fails to secure such compliance.3.   If the information collected under Article 3 and under paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article provides evidence that any body responsible for ensuring compliance with the standards of protection in Jersey is not effectively fulfilling its role, the Commission shall inform the competent Jersey authority and, if necessary, present draft measures in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 31(2) of Directive 95/46/EC with a view to repealing or suspending this Decision or limiting its scope. The Commission shall monitor the functioning of this Decision and report any pertinent findings to the Committee established under Article 31 of Directive 95/46/EC, including any evidence that could affect the finding in Article 1 of this Decision, that protection in Jersey is adequate within the meaning of Article 25 of Directive 95/46/EC and any evidence that this Decision is being implemented in a discriminatory way. Member States shall take all the measures necessary to comply with the Decision within four months of the date of its notification. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

Procedure(1) On 26 November 1985, the Commission reopened the anti-dumping investigation concerning outboard motors originating in Japan following a request for review lodged by Community producers representing a major proportion of the Community production of outboard motors (2). The request for review contained evidence of renewed dumping and renewed injury caused thereby which was considered sufficient to warrant the reopening of the investigation. The products referred to in the request for review are outboard motors up to and including 63 kW (85 hp) falling within subheading ex 84.06 B of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE codes 84.06-10 and ex 84.06-12.(2) The Commission officially so advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting countries and the complainant, and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.All but one of the Community producers, the exporters concerned and some importers, as well as two associations representing boat builders and users, made their views known in writing. In addition, one Community producer and all the exporters concerned requested, and were granted, a hearing.(3) The Commission sought and verified all information it considered necessary and carried out investigations at the premises of the following:EEC producers:- Outboard Marine Belgium SA, Bruges, Belgium,- Outboard Marine Deutschland GmbH, Mannheim, Germany,- Outboard Marine France, Paris, France,- Outboard Marine UK, Northampton, United Kingdom,- Selva SpA, Tirano, Italy;Exporters:- Honda Motor Co., Tokyo, Japan,- Suzuki Motor Co., Hamomatsu, Japan,- Tohatsu Corporation, Tokyo, Japan,- Yamaha Motor Co., Hamamatsu, Japan;Importers:- Honda Deutschland GmbH, Offenbach, Germany,- Marine Power-Europe Inc., Verviers, Belgium,- Suzuki Deutschland GmbH, Heppenheim, Germany,- Yamaha Motor Europe NV, Uithoorn, Netherlands,- Yamaha Motor France, Paris, France,- Yamaha Motor Netherlands, Uithoorn, Netherlands,- Mitsui Machinery Sales (UK) Ltd, Chessington, United Kingdom.The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 January to 31 October 1985.B. Scope of the investigation(4) The Commission found that, during the investigation period, by far the largest of the Community producers ceased producing outboard motors of above 18,5 kW (25 hp). The only other complainant Community producer produces only relatively small quantities of outboard motors of more than 18,5 kW and, in 1985, accounted for less than 5 % of total Community production of such motors. The Commission, consequently, did not find it appropriate to cover in its investigation outboard motors of up to 63 kW (85 hp) as was requested in the application for review.(5) It was, however, considered reasonable for the present investigation to cover outboard motors of up to 26 kW (35 hp), since motors of 26 kW closely resemble 18,5 kW outboard motors with regard to motor capacity, design, weight and technical features.C. Normal value(6) For Honda Motor Co. and Yamaha Motor Co., the Commission established the normal value on the basis of domestic prices actually paid or payable in the ordinary course of trade for the like product, since these prices were shown to be profitable.(7) For Suzuki Motor Co. and Tohatsu Corporation, the Commission determined the normal value on the basis of constructed value, since the sales of these two companies on the domestic market did not provide a sufficient basis for the calculation of normal value. The constructed value was determined by adding the cost of production, including a reasonable amount for selling, administrative and other general expenses, and a reasonable margin of profit.D. Export price(8) Export prices were determined by the Commission on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community.(9) Where exports were made to subsidiary companies in the Community export prices were constructed on the basis of the prices at which the imported product was first resold to an independent buyer, suitably adjusted to take account of all costs incurred between importation and resale including customs duty, and of a profit margin of 5 % considered reasonable in the light of the profit margins of independent importers of the product concerned.E. Comparison(10) In comparing normal value with export prices, the Commission took account, where appropriate, of differences affecting price comparability, in particular discounts and rebates, credit terms, transport, insurance, handling, packing and salesmen's salaries. Due allowance for such differences was made where claims in these areas could be satisfactorily demonstrated. All comparisons were made at ex-works level and for each individual transaction.F. Margins(11) The above examination of the facts shows the existence of dumping in respect of all exporters involved, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeds the price for export to the Community.(12) These margins vary according to the exporter, the importing Member State and the type of outboard motor concerned, the weighted average margin for each of the exporters investigated being as follows:1.2 // - Honda Motor Co.: // 16,2 %, // - Suzuki Motor Co.: // 51,6 %, // - Tohatsu Corporation: // 43,3 %, // - Yamaha Motor Co.: // 53,2 %.G. Injury(13) In 1983, after having carried out an anti-dumping investigation, the Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 1500/83 (1), established that dumped imports of outboard motors originating in Japan had caused injury to the Community industry concerned and that protective measures were necessary. The Commission subsequently, by Decision 83/452/EEC (2), accepted undertakings by most of the exporters concerned with a view to eliminating the injury by voluntary price increases for the exported products. For all other exporters a definitive anti-dumping duty was imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2809/83 (3).(14) While these measures contributed to an improvement of the position of the Community producers of outboard motors in 1984, the situation of this industry deteriorated again in 1985. It is still characterized by low capacity utilization, considerable losses and high import penetration.(15) With regard to the renewed injury caused by the dumped imports, the evidence available to the Commission shows, more specifically, that imports of outboard motors into the Community from Japan fell from 67 204 units in 1983 to 46 654 units in 1984, but increased again to 56 577 units in 1985. This resurgence represents an increase of 21 % in one year.(16) At the same time, consumption of outboard motors within the Community fell from 161 209 units in 1983 to 127 959 units in 1984, but increased again to 137 465 units in 1985, i. e. by 7,4 %. Consequently, the market share in the Community held by outboard motors imported from Japan, having fallen from 41,7 % in 1983 to 36,5 % in 1984, went up again to 41,2 % in 1985.(17) The market share held by Community producers of outboard motors during that three-year period went up from 50,3 % to 53,4 %, but decreased again to 53,2 %.(18) With regard to the prices at which the dumped imports from Japan were sold within the Community during the investigation period, clear cases of price undercutting were found in some instances only. It was found that, in view of the fact that imports from Japan were regaining market share, the Community industry was unable to raise its prices above the price levels set out in the undertakings accepted in 1983. From 1984, however, these prices proved to be insufficient to substantially remedy the injury suffered by the Community producers.(19) As a consequence, the Community outboard motor industry continued to incur losses, which increased, in particular, in 1985. Furthermore, employment in this industry decreased by another 7 % from 1983 to 1985 and declined by another 20 % due to dismissals already notified to personnel during the investigation period.(20) The Commission considered whether injury has been caused by other factors, in particular the volume of imports of outboard motors from other third countries. It was found, however, that those imports declined from 12 964 units in 1983 to 7 612 units in 1985, with a consequent reduction in market share from 8 % to 5,6 %. The Commission, therefore, determines that the effects of the dumped imports of outboard motors originating in Japan, taken in isolation, have to be considered as constituting material injury to the Community industry concerned.H. Community interest(21) During the course of its investigation, the Commission received submissions from two associations representing boat builders in two of the Member States. Those submissions warned, in general terms, against the negative effects on the boat-building industry of any price increase for outboard motors.(22) The Commission asked both associations to substantiate further their arguments, in particular with regard to exact figures relating, for example, to price increases for boats, the development of price ratios between boats and outboard motors, as well as financial losses and reduction in employment. The subsequent replies did not provide such figures, but only reiterated the general concern and pointed to the adverse effect of protective measures on importers and dealers of outboard motors.(23) The Commission has weighed these arguments, which remained unsubstantiated for the most part, against the serious difficulties still facing the Community outboard-motor industry and has come to the conclusion that it is in the Community's interest that action be taken.I. Undertakings(24) The exporters concerned were informed of the main findings of the investigation and commented on them. Undertakings were subsequently offered by Honda Motor Co., Suzuki Motor Co., Tohatsu Corporation, including undertakings offered by Marine Power Europe Inc. and Nissan Motor Nederland BV on behalf of Tohatsu Corporation, and Yamaha Motor Co., including an undertaking by Marine Power Europe Inc. on behalf of Yamaha Motor Co.(25) The effect of the said undertakings will be to ensure that export prices to the Community will be at a level sufficient to eliminate injury to the Community industry. The price increases foreseen in these undertakings in no case exceed the dumping margins found in the investigation. Moreover, it appears that correct operation of these undertakings can be effectively monitored, in particular since the Commission during its investigation did not observe any violations of the undertakings previously in force. (26) In these circumstances, the undertakings offered are considered acceptable and the investigation with regard to these exporters may, therefore, be terminated without the imposition of anti-dumping duties.(27) No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee,. The undertakings given by Honda Motor Co., Tokyo, Suzuki Motor Co., Hamamatsu, Tohatsu Corporation, Tokyo, including the undertakings given by Marine Power Europe Inc., Belgium, and Nissan Motor Nederland BV, Netherlands on behalf of Tohatsu Corporation, and Yamaha Motor Co., Hamamatsu, including the undertaking given by Marine Power Europe Inc. on behalf of Yamaha Motor Co., in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of outboard motors falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading ex 84.06 B, corresponding to NIMEXE codes 84.06-10 and ex 84.06-12, originating in Japan, are hereby accepted. The anti-dumping investigation referred to in Article 1 is hereby terminated..

Openness enhances the administration's legitimacy, effectiveness and accountability, thus strengthening the principles of democracy.(2) In the Joint Declaration(2) relating to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents(3), the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission call on the other institutions and bodies of the Union to adopt internal rules on public access to documents which take account of the principles and limits set out in the Regulation. The regime on public access to ECB documents as laid down in Decision ECB/1998/12 of 3 November 1998 concerning public access to documentation and the archives of the European Central Bank(4) should be revised accordingly.(3) Wider access should be granted to ECB documents, while at the same time protecting the independence of the ECB and of the national central banks (NCBs) foreseen by Article 108 of the Treaty and Article 7 of the Statute, and the confidentiality of certain matters specific to the performance of the ECB's tasks. In order to safeguard the effectiveness of its decision-making process, including its internal consultations and preparations, the proceedings of the meetings of the ECB's decision-making bodies are confidential, unless the relevant body decides to make the outcome of its deliberations public.(4) However, certain public and private interests should be protected by way of exceptions. Furthermore, the ECB needs to protect the integrity of euro banknotes as a means of payment including, without limitation, the security features against counterfeiting, the technical production specifications, the physical security of stocks and the transportation of euro banknotes.(5) When NCBs handle requests for ECB documents that are in their possession, they should consult the ECB in order to ensure the full application of this Decision unless it is clear whether or not the document may be disclosed.(6) In order to bring about greater openness, the ECB should grant access not only to documents drawn up by it, but also to documents received by it while at the same time preserving the right for the third parties concerned to express their positions with regard to access to documents originating from those parties.(7) In order to ensure that good administrative practice is respected, the ECB should apply a two-stage procedure,. PurposeThe purpose of this Decision is to define the conditions and limits according to which the ECB shall give public access to ECB documents and to promote good administrative practice on public access to such documents. Beneficiaries and scope1. Any citizen of the Union, and any natural or legal person residing or having its registered office in a Member State, has a right of access to ECB documents, subject to the conditions and limits defined in this Decision.2. The ECB may, subject to the same conditions and limits, grant access to ECB documents to any natural or legal person not residing or not having its registered office in a Member State.3. This Decision shall be without prejudice to rights of public access to ECB documents which might follow from instruments of international law or acts which implement them. DefinitionsFor the purpose of this Decision:(a) ""document"" and ""ECB document"" shall mean any content whatever its medium (written on paper or stored in electronic form or as a sound, visual or audiovisual recording) drawn up or held by the ECB and relating to its policies, activities or decisions, as well as documents originating from the European Monetary Institute (EMI) and from the Committee of Governors of the central banks of the Member States of the European Economic Community (Committee of Governors);(b) ""third party"" shall mean any natural or legal person, or any entity outside the ECB.

The ECB shall refuse access to a document where disclosure would undermine the protection of:- the commercial interests of a natural or legal person, including intellectual property,- court proceedings and legal advice,- the purpose of inspections, investigations and audits,unless there is an overriding public interest in disclosure.3. Access to a document containing opinions for internal use as part of deliberations and preliminary consultations within the ECB or with NCBs shall be refused even after the decision has been taken, unless there is an overriding public interest in disclosure.4. As regards third-party documents, the ECB shall consult the third party concerned with a view to assessing whether an exception in this Article is applicable, unless it is clear that the document shall or shall not be disclosed.5. If only parts of the requested document are covered by any of the exceptions, the remaining parts of the document shall be released.6. The exceptions as laid down in this Article shall only apply for the period during which protection is justified on the basis of the content of the document. The exceptions may apply for a maximum period of 30 years unless specifically provided otherwise by the ECB's Governing Council. In the case of documents covered by the exceptions relating to privacy or commercial interests, the exceptions may continue to apply after this period. Documents at the NCBsDocuments that are in the possession of an NCB and have been drawn up by the ECB as well as documents originating from the EMI or the Committee of Governors may be disclosed by the NCB only subject to prior consultation of the ECB concerning the scope of access, unless it is clear that the document shall or shall not be disclosed.Alternatively the NCB may refer the request to the ECB.

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,.

whereas the raw sugar forward supply estimate for all refineries indicates that such sugar is available for Portuguese refineries for the 1988/89 marketing year;Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2136/88 (5) lays down for the 1988/89 marketing year measures for the disposal of raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments and intended for refining in the European regions of the Community; whereas these measures consist of a flat-rate aid for transport to those regions and a refining aid; whereas the abovementioned raw sugar forward supply estimate indicates, after taking account of the quantities imported by Portugal at a reduced levy in accordance with the provisions of the first and second subparagraphs of Article 303 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, the existence of a supplementary requirement for the Portuguese refineries; whereas this requirement can be met for the said marketing year from supplies available in the Community by making available to the refineries a quantity of sugar, expressed as white sugar, obtained from beet harvested in the Community; whereas the application to this sugar of the measures provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 9 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 makes such action possible at the least cost; whereas consequently the same aid measures should be adopted for these quantities of raw beet sugar as those prescribed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 of 15 July 1986 laying down measures for the marketing of sugar produced in the French overseas departments and for the equalization of the price conditions with preferential raw sugar (6);Whereas certain detailed rules relating to the determination of weights and sugar yields should be laid down, particularly in the case of transport in bulk in the same vessel but on behalf of several sellers;Whereas in general a considerable period of time elapses between the date on which the sugar in question is loaded and that on which the formalities required for payment of the aid by the competent agency are concluded on arrival; whereas provision should therefore be made for advance payment;Whereas suitable control provisions with regard to the refined sugar, including a definition of the term 'refining', should be laid down;Whereas, for conversion into escudos of the aid amounts, the conversion rate applicable to the transport aid and to the advance of that aid should be the agricultural conversion rate in force on the day when the bill of lading is made out for the sugar transported, all of which will be transported by sea, and, in so far as the refining aid is concerned, the conversion rate should be the agricultural conversion rate in force on the day when the sugar in question is refined;Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2146/87 (7) determined the quantities of raw sugar obtained from beet harvested in the Community intended, for the 1987/88 marketing year, for the Portuguese refineries and entitled hereby to benefit from the same aids as those granted for the raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments; whereas it was not possible for all of those quantities to be refined in good time but, in being considered as working stock, those quantities are eligible for the refining aid; whereas it is appropriate to provide that the refining aid should be applied to those quantities by attributing them to the quantities fixed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2146/87 for the 1987/88 marketing year;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,. For the 1988/89 marketing year, flat-rate Community aids shall be granted, as an intervention measure, in accordance with the conditions set out in this Regulation, for the transport to and refining in Portugal of raw sugar obtained from beet harvested in the Community, up to a limit equivalent to 20 000 tonnes of white sugar. 1. There shall be granted for the sugar referred to in Article 1 delivered to Portuguese refineries and within the prescribed limit:(a) a flat-rate aid for transport equal to the total aid granted during the 1988/89 marketing year under Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2225/86 for the transport of raw sugar produced in the French overseas departments;and(b) an aid for refining in Portuguese refineries made up of:(aa) an amount per 100 kilograms of raw sugar of standard quality equal to the difference between the storage levy as referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 that was actually collected for the sugar in question and three times the amount of the monthly reimbursement of storage costs as referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 8 (2) of that Regulation which is applicable during the refining of the sugar;and(bb) for each tenth of a percentage point of yield in excess of 92 %, an amount equal to 0,0387 % of the intervention price for raw sugar for the 1988/89 marketing year.2. The aid specified in paragraph 1 shall be granted on application by the Portuguese undertakings refining the sugar in question to the competent Portuguese authorities. 1. The transport aid referred to in Article 2 (1) (a):(a) shall, be applicable to the accepted arrival weight expressed as white sugar using the yield formula referred to in Article 1 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 431/68 (1).In the case of transport in bulk which does not allow the identification of individual lots, the average yield of the whole quantity delivered shall be applied to all the sugar in question;(b) shall be paid on presentation by the refiner:- of the customs document of entry for consumption in Portugal or of the copy or photocopy of that document certified to be a true copy either by the body which approved the original document or by the official Portuguese services,and- the bill of lading, the results of the analyses and the final invoice.2. The analyses shall be carried out on delivery, in respect of the entire shipment, by 250-tonne lots, by a laboratory approved by Portugal.3. An advance on the aid referred to in paragraph 1 may be paid, representing 90 % of the amount determined on the basis of the weight shown on the provisional invoice converted into white sugar on the basis of a standard yield of 94 %.Applications for advance payment shall be made by the refiner concerned and accompanied by the customs document of entry into Portugal, the bill of lading and the provisional invoice. For the granting of the aid referred to in Article 2 (1) (b):(a) the raw sugar concerned shall, at the refiner's request, be placed under customs control or under another form of administrative control providing the same safeguards;(b) refining shall be understood to be the conversion of raw sugar as defined in Article 1 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 into white sugar as defined in Article 1 (2) (a) of the said Regulation. 1. The aids referred to in Article 2 (1) shall be granted only if the application presented by the refiner is accompanied by evidence recognized by Portugal that the raw sugar in question was obtained from beet harvested in the Community and if the bill of lading for the transported sugar was drawn up on or after 1 July 1988.2. To permit the granting of the transport aid referred to in Article 2 (1) (a), the Commission shall notify the competent Portuguese authorities of the unit transport aid amounts applicable during the 1988/89 marketing year.3. Within two months following each relevant month, Portugal shall notify the Commission of the quantities, expressed as white sugar, for which the aid specified in Article 2 (1) has been granted and the sums corresponding to those quantities. For the quantities of sugar falling within the quantity fixed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2146/87 for which refining took place as from 1 July 1988, the refining aid in force during the 1988/89 marketing year by virtue of Article 2 (b) of this Regulation shall be applicable. The quantities so refined shall be attributed to the quantity fixed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2146/87 for the 1987/88 marketing year.

The Trade Agreements and Protocols between Member States and third countries, as listed in the Annex hereto, may be extended or tacitly renewed up to the dates indicated for each of them for those areas not covered by Agreements between the Community and the third countries concerned and in so far as their provisions are not contrary to existing common policies.

In September 1984, a price undertaking was given by the Swedish exporter and accepted by the Commission by Regulation (EEC) No 2681/84 (4). At the end of 1986, Perstorp, Sweden, requested a review of the price undertaking in effect with respect to pentaerythricol exports to the Community on the grounds of changed circumstances within the meaning of Article 14 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84.Perstorp, Sweden, argued that the costs of making this product had declined significantly since the price undertaking was accepted. As this price undertaking reflected the market price needed by Community producers to cover full cost plus profit, Perstorp argued that it should be adjusted downwards to correspond to the present cost situation.Perstorp, Sweden, neither questioned nor sought a review of the dumping margin established in the earlier proceeding. Its review request centred exclusively on the injury side of the investigation.The Commission has accordingly proceeded to a review of the injury threshold which constituted the basis of the price undertaking for the exporter concerned, without a reopening of the investigation in accordance with Article 14 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84.Taking as a reference period the second half of 1986, it was established that, due to developments in costs, a downward adjustment of the injury threshold level and, consequently, of the undertaking is warranted. After completion of the investigation, the Swedish exporter was informed of the main findings and commented on them. Subsequently, in August 1987, Perstorp offered a new price undertaking for its pentaerythritol exports to the Community.In these circumstances, the undertaking offered is considered acceptable by the Commission since it reflects the new costs of production to Community producers plus a reasonable profit margin and thus is sufficient to eliminate injury to the Community industry.No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee,. The undertaking given by Perstorp AB, Perstorp, Sweden, in connection with the revised anti-dumping proceeding concerning pentaertyhritol originating in Sweden and falling within subheading ex 29.04 C I of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code 29.04-66, is hereby accepted.

That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. 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.

The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of bars and rods, hot-rolled in irregularly wound coils (also known as wire-rod) of iron or non-alloy steel, used mainly in building work, falling within CN codes 7213 31 00 and 7213 39 00, originating in Argentina, Egypt, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey and the former Yugoslavia.(2) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 January to 30 September 1990.(3) The Commission officially so advised the exporting producers and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of Argentina, Egypt, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey and the former Yugoslavia and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.(4) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purpose of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following companies:Community producers:- Saarstahl AG, Voelklingen, Germany- Thyssen Stahl AG, Duisburg, Germany- Moselstahlwerk GmbH & Co.

The Commission considers that, under the particular circumstances, there is no reason to continue the investigation with regard to these imports.. The anti-dumping proceeding in respect of bars and rods, hot-rolled in irregularly wound coils (also known as wire-rod) of iron or non-alloy steel used mainly in building work, falling within CN codes 7213 31 00 and 7213 39 00, originating in Argentina, Egypt, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Yugoslav Republics of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia is hereby terminated..

Procedure(1) In July 1984 the Commission received a complaint lodged by Gypsum Industries Ltd, which manufactures plasterboard in Ireland. This firm is not the only Community producer nor does its output constitute a major proportion of the total Community production of the like product. However, it argued that Ireland and Northern Ireland should be considered to be a distinct competitive market for this product, separate from the rest of the Community. For this reason the complainant considered that it should be regarded as being a Community industry as provided for by Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 since it sells all of its production in this separate market and since the demand in this market is not to any substantial degree supplied by other Community producers of plasterboard.The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom and also information concerning the alleged isolation of the Irish market, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into Ireland and Northern Ireland of plasterboard falling within subheading ex 68.10 A of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 68.10-10, originating in Spain, and commenced an investigation.(2) The Commission officially so advised the exporter and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.The only known exporter and importers made their views known in writing. The exporter and one of the importers concerned requested and were granted hearings.(3) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following:EEC producer:Gypsum Industries Ltd, Dublin and Kingscourt,Exporter:EspaĂąola de Placas de Yeso, SA, Quinto de Ebro (Zaragoza) and Madrid,Importer in Ireland:Iberian Trading Ltd, Dublin.(4) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 October 1983 to 30 September 1984.B. Normal value(5) Normal value was provisionally determined on the basis of the domestic prices of the sole Spanish producer/exporter.C. Export price(6) Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community.D. Comparison(7) In comparing normal value with export prices, the Commission took account of differences affecting price comparability and allowances were made for differences in conditions and terms of sale concerning rebates and indirect taxes. Allowances for selling, general and administrative expenses requested by the exporter were not granted by the Commission since a direct relationship between these expenses and the sales under consideration was not satisfactorily demonstrated.(8) All comparisons were made at ex-works level.E. Margin of dumping(9) Normal value was set against export prices on a transaction by transaction basis and, as a result, the above preliminary examination of the facts showed the existence of dumping in respect of imports of plasterboard originating in Spain, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeds the price for export to Ireland and Northern Ireland. On this basis the dumping margin expressed as a percentage of the cif export price to the market concerned varied from 0 to 15 %, the weighted average margin being 7,0 %.F. Injury(10) With regard to the injury caused by the dumped imports, the evidence available to the Commission shows that imports into Ireland and Northern Ireland of plasterboard of Spanish origin increased from an index of 100 in 1983 (exact figures are confidential) to an index of 574,6 for the first nine months of 1984 with a consequent increase in market share held by the exporting country from an index of 100 in 1983 (exact figure confidential) to 700 in the first nine months of 1984.(11) The resale prices of these imports undercut the prices of the Irish producer during the investigation period by from 0 to 15 %. During a significant part of the period under investigation the resale prices of these imports were lower than those required to cover the complainant producer's costs and provide a reasonable profit.(12) The Community industry in respect of which the injury must be assessed is the sole Community producer selling its production in the market comprised of Ireland, where the producer is located, and Northern Ireland. The Commission is satisfied that the requirements of the Community's anti-dumping Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 regarding the separation of the Community into more than one market are fulfilled in the present circumstances.(13) The consequent impact on this Community industry has been a reduction in market share from an index of 100 in 1983 (exact figure confidential) to an index of 93 in the first nine months of 1984. The numbers employed have been reduced by almost 4 % during the same period, whilst the average return on sales for the six months ending 30 September 1984 fell to an index of 62,2 (exact figures confidential) compared to an index of 100 for the year ending 30 March 1984.(14) The Commission has considered whether injury has been caused by other factors such as the volume and prices of undumped imports or the stagnation of demand. It has been established that imports into Ireland from countries other than Spain have remained insignificant between 1983 and 1984 and were not at prices such as to cause injury to the Community industry. With regard to consumption, the investigation has shown that between 1982 and the first nine months of 1984 the demand for plasterboard in the market under consideration expanded by almost 6 %. Despite the increase in the size of the market the Irish producer has seen his market share decrease.(15) The volume of the dumped imports, the market share which they have obtained and the prices at which they are offered for sale in the market concerned led the Commission to determine that the effects of the dumped imports of plasterboard originating in Spain taken in isolation have to be considered as constituting material injury to the Community industry concerned.G. Community interest(16) The Commission has considered whether it is in the Community interest to take protective measures.(17) In view of the necessity for the Community industry concerned to generate sufficient funds to finance future investment and because of the relatively low impact of a price increase on the costs of the consuming industry the Commission has come to the conclusion that it is in the Community's interest that action be taken. H. Undertaking(18) The exporter concerned was informed of the main findings of the preliminary investigation and commented on them. An undertaking was subsequently offered by EspaĂąola de Placos de Yeso, SA, concerning their exports of plasterboard to Ireland and Northern Ireland.(19) The effect of the said undertaking will be to increase export prices to Ireland and Northern Ireland to the level necessary to eliminate the dumping. It appears that correct operation of the undertaking can be effectively monitored.(20) In these circumstances, the undertaking offered is considered acceptable and the investigation may, therefore, be terminated without imposition of an anti-dumping duty.No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee,. The undertaking given by EspaĂąola de Placos de Yeso, SA in connection with the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of plasterboard falling within Common Customs Tariff subheading ex 68.10 A, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 68.10-10 and originating in Spain, is hereby accepted. The anti-dumping investigation referred to in Article 1 is hereby terminated..

whereas a variation of less than 3 % has no appreciable effect on feeding costs in respect of eggs in shell ; whereas the minimum variation should be fixed at 3 %,.

Article 9 of that Regulation provides for the reallocation of unused quantities on the basis of the actual utilisation of import rights for A-products and B-products respectively by the end of February 2004.(2) An operator submitted an application for import rights for 225 tonnes of beef for the production of A-products under Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1146/2003. As a result of an administrative error by the competent Danish authority, the application from that operator, forwarded to the Commission in accordance with Article 5(3), concerned 40 tonnes only. The national administration discovered the error only on completion of the procedure for the allocation of import rights referred to in Article 5(4) and notified the Commission accordingly. In order that the operator who submitted the application correctly should not be put at a disadvantage, the necessary measures should be taken to permit the competent Danish authority to remedy the administrative error in an appropriate way. Consequently, by derogation from Article 9 of the above Regulation steps should be taken, firstly, to reduce the overall quantity established in accordance with paragraph 1 of that Article by a quantity corresponding to the difference between the import rights which the operator could legitimately have hoped to receive on the basis of his application and the import rights which he actually received and, secondly, to provide that the competent Danish authority may allocate import rights to the operator concerned on the basis of the application which he submitted under Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1146/2003.(3) Taking account of this error has resulted in an administrative delay. The deadlines for application and communication referred to in Article 9(4) should be extended therefore.(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,. By derogation from Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1146/2003, the competent Danish authority is hereby authorised to allocate import rights for 72,199 tonnes of beef to the operator who submitted an application for import rights for 225 tonnes of beef but who, as a result of an error, was taken into consideration in respect of 40 tonnes only under Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1146/2003. 1. The quantities to be allocated in accordance with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1146/2003 amount to 406,58 tonnes.2.

If the measure is found justified, the Commission shall inform the Member States so that they can take all appropriate measures with respect to the equipment concerned, in accordance with their obligations under Article 2(1) of Directive 89/686/EEC.(3) On 31 January 2008, the UK authorities notified to the European Commission a measure prohibiting the placing on the market of a guided type fall arrester, of the type HACA Leitern 0529.7102, manufactured by HACA Leitern – Lorenz Hasenbach GmbH u. Co. KG, Diesselstrasse 12, 65520 Bad Camberg, Germany (HACA). According to the documents submitted to the Commission this protective equipment was subject to the conformity assessment procedure set out in Article 11A of the Directive, attested by the following documents issued by EXAM BBG Prüf- und Zertifizier GmbH (since become DEKRA EXAM GmbH) — notified body No 0158):— No ZQ/B 212/06,— No ZQ/B 212/07.(4) The UK authorities indicated that their measure was based on the fact that the guided type fall arrester concerned failed to comply with the basic health and safety requirements (BHSR) referred to in Article 3 of Directive 89/686/EEC and, in particular, with BHSR 3.1.2.2 and BHSR 1 and 1.1.1 in Annex II to Directive 89/686/EEC. The UK authorities submitted a test report by TUV NEL Ltd to substantiate their findings.(5) According to the UK authorities, in particular in the foreseeable situation where a person fell backwards before falling down (the ‘fall-back’ situation), the protective equipment did not provide adequate protection against all risks encountered as required by BHSR 1 (2). As a result, the guided type fall arrester did not comply with BHSR 1.1.1 (3), which requires a user to be able to perform a risk-related activity normally whilst enjoying appropriate protection to the highest possible level. Further the UK authorities explained that the protective equipment did not comply with BHSR 3.1.2.2 (4) because tests showed that, under foreseeable conditions of use, the vertical drop of the user was not minimised to prevent collision with obstacles and the braking force exceeded the threshold value at which physical injury might occur.(6) On 1 August 2008, the Commission wrote to the manufacturer and, on 26 September 2008, to the notified body that had intervened in the production control phase according to Article 11A of Directive 89/686/EEC, inviting them to communicate their observations regarding the measure taken by the UK authorities.(7) In their reply dated 28 October 2008, HACA contested the findings of the tests carried out for the UK authorities by TUV NEL. In particular, they emphasised that their equipment was safe to use and prevented falls from a height, including ‘fall-back’, if used with the correct types of belt. HACA further pointed out that the test carried out by TUV NEL did not comply with the requirements of standard EN 364 which did not foresee the use of an anthropomorphic dummy.(8) In their reply dated 15 October 2008, DEKRA EXAM confirmed that they had issued the relevant Article 11A documents. DEKRA EXAM emphasised that tests had been carried out according to standard EN 353-1 and that the samples tested had fulfilled all the requirements of that standard. They explained that the test standard EN 364 allowed the use of a steel weight or a sand bag for the dynamic performance test. During testing, they had used a sand bag for measuring the braking force which was always below the allowed value. They observed that TUV NEL had used a steel weight which — in their opinion — would give higher braking forces than a sand bag.(9) Due to the complexity of the file, the Commission obtained the assistance of an independent expert. The Commission met the UK authorities. The UK authorities explained the exact test methods it relied upon and showed a video of the tests.(10) The report of the independent expert (5) concluded that ‘fall-back’, either from a standing or sitting position, is a foreseeable situation which is not taken into account in standard EN 353-1.(11) Following the positive opinion of the Standing Committee set up by Article 5 of Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) on 19 March 2010, the Commission decided to withdraw the reference of standard EN 353-1 from the Official Journal of the European Union.(12) In light of the documentation available, the comments of the parties concerned and the report of the independent expert, the Commission considers that the guided type fall arrester of the type HACA Leitern 0529.7102 fails to comply with BHSRs 1, 1.1.1 and 3.1.2.2 of Annex II to Directive 89/686/EEC, since it does not adequately prevent falls in a ‘fall-back’ situation, and that this non-conformity gives rise to a serious risk for users,. The measure taken by the UK authorities prohibiting the placing on the market of a guided type fall arrester, of the type HACA Leitern 0529.7102, manufactured by HACA Leitern – Lorenz Hasenbach GmbH, is justified.

that some production units had had to be provisionally closed during this period, causing 1 124 people to be made redundant; that Spanish producers's sales had fallen over the same period to 192 000 tonnes, which, on a monthly basis, was a 20 % reduction compared with the sales figure for 1985 (441 000 tonnes); whereas, on the other hand, the stocks of the producers concerned had increased from 38 000 tonnes at the end of 1985 to 54 200 tonnes on 30 June 1986; whereas the effect of import prices (Pta 13,71 per kilogram on average) had been to force Spanish producers to reduce their sales prices from Pta 33,4 per kilogram (1985) to Pta 28,8 per kilogram in the first six months of 1986; whereas this fall in prices, combined with the decrease in Spanish producers' sales, inevitably had a negative effect on producers' profits and the return on capital;Whereas, as regards the threat of injury, they pointed out that the data gathered under the national surveillance system showed quite clearly that this increase in imports could only grow bigger, since from 7 to 30 July 1986 the businessmen concerned had notified them of their intention to import 45 752 tonnes at even lower prices than those applied in the first six months, and that this further increase in imports on these terms would inevitably make the situation worse and might, moreover, put an end to the Spanish Government's plan for reorganizing the sector;Whereas the data supplied by the Spanish Government have been substantially borne out by the preliminary results of the Community investigation;Whereas, in view of the critical nature of the situation of the Spanish industry, pending the results of the current Community investigation and as a provisional measure applicable until 31 October 1986, imports into Spain of urea originating in the third countries covered by this Regulation should be limited from now on; whereas it isonly by adopting measures that it will be possible to avoid any injury which it would be difficult to remedy; whereas the critical circumstances do not permit the exclusion of imports of urea originating in third countries with which the Community has a free trade arrangement;Whereas, in view of the situation of the Spanish market, the volume of imports since 1 January 1986 and those originating in other Member States which will be authorized, imports should be limited to 15 000 tonnes;Whereas in view of the serious nature of the situation the protective measures must be applied even in the case of current contractual relations; whereas in order to avoid further injury to the businessmen concerned, this measure must not affect goods already consigned; whereas, however, it should be possible for the Spanish authorities to take into consideration the total volume of these consignments when allocating the quantities fixed pursuant to this Regulation;Whereas the Community investigation should be pursued before making an overall evaluation of the situation and deciding, in the light of all the relevant factors, whether or not it is in the interests of the Community to amend the arrangements applicable to imports to Spain of urea originating in countries covered by Regulation (EEC) No 288/82,. Imports into Spain of urea (NIMEXE code 31.02-15) originating in the third countries covered by Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 shall be limited, until 31 October 1986, on the conditions given below, to 15 000 tonnes. This Regulation shall not preclude imports into Spain of urea originating in third countries which, at the time of its entry into force, are being shipped to Spain, provided that they cannot be sent to another destination, and that they are accompanied by the import document referred to in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 288/82 issued by the Spanish authorities.

In the same context, the underlying logic of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 does not imply the existence of product certification, but notified bodies are only responsible for assessing the performance of construction products, the constancy of which is then to be certified. This repartition of competences between manufacturer and notified bodies should be better reflected in Annex V, without entailing a shift in the responsibilities of these actors.(5) Since constant surveillance of factory production control by notified bodies in fact is not possible and is not carried out in practice, reference should rather be made to the continuing nature of the surveillance.(6) For construction products not covered or not fully covered by harmonised standards, European Technical Assessments (ETA) can be issued by a Technical Assessment Body. Pursuant to Article 2(13) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, such an ETA already contains an assessment of the performance of the product in question in relation to its essential characteristics. Additional subsequent controls of the correctness of this assessment process would not bring about any added value, but only generate unnecessary costs for manufacturers. Enterprises have already made requests for ETAs and need legal certainty with respect to the third-party tasks to be carried out in the process of assessment and verification of constancy of performance of these construction products.(7) In order to better reflect the current practice the names of the types of notified bodies and the description of their respective tasks should be adjusted.(8) A technical adaptation is necessary concerning the term ‘noise absorption’ referred to in Section 3 of Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 to achieve a more accurate description of the essential characteristics to be assessed and more consistency with terminology used in relevant harmonised technical specifications.(9) In order to ensure a smooth transition for manufacturers they should have the right to continue using certificates and other documents which were issued by notified bodies in accordance with Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 before the entry into force of this Regulation,. Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation. Certificates and other documents issued by notified bodies in accordance with Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 before the entry into force of this Regulation shall be deemed to comply with this Regulation.

Proceeding(1) In October 1985 the Groupement des industries de matériel d'équipement électrique et de l'électronique industrielle associés (Gimelec), supported by the Zentralverband der elektrotechnischen industries (Zvei), the Rotating Electrical Machines Association (REMA), the Fédération des entreprises de l'industrie des fabricants métallurgiques, mécaniques, électriques et de la transformation des matières plastiques (Fabrimetal) and the Associazione nazionale industrie elettrotecniche ed elettroniche (Anie), asked the Commission under Article 14 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 to review acceptance of the price undertakings given by exporters in connection with the previous proceeding concerning imports of standardized multi-phase electric motors having an output of more than 0,75 kW but not more than 75 kW, originating in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania or the USSR.(2) During the previous proceeding, certain undertakings, given by the exporting companies Electroimpex (Bulgaria), Elektrim (Poland), AHB. Elektrotechnik (German Democratic Republic), Electro-Export-Import (Romania) and ZSE. (Czechoslovakia) were accepted by the Council under Regulation (EEC) No 2075/82 (2).The exporters undertook to raise prices on their sales to the Community so as to offset the damaging effects of the dumping which had been proved.(3) The request for review included evidence that dumping by the exporters from the countries concerned had continued and had even intensified considerably and that the price undertakings had been insufficient to remove the injury, and in particular to prevent, from 1982 to 1985, a substantial increase in the divergence between retail prices for Community motors and those for motors originating in State-trading countries.The evidence presented was considered, after consultation, to indicate a sufficient change of circumstances to warrant a review of the Decisions taken in connection with the previous proceeding; the Commission therefore announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3) the reopening of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of standardized multi-phase electric motors having an output of more than 0,75 kW but not more than 75 kW, originating in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the USSR. The Commission has carried out its investigation.B. Review(4) The review proceedings produced evidence that dumping had continued on a large scale. They also showed that the effect of the price undertakings had not, bearing in mind the change in circumstances and, in particular, Community producers' retail price trends, been to prevent substantial injury arising as a result of imports originating in State-trading countries.(5) This being so, the Commission repealed its decisions accepting the undertakings and adopted, by means of Regulation (EEC) No 3019/86 (4) and with regard to the imports for which dumping had been proved, a protective measure in the form of a provisional anti-dumping duty.C. Repeal of the undertakings accepted by the Council(6) In parallel with the measures taken by the Commission, Regulation (EEC) No 2075/82, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1275/84 (1), which accepts undertakings given respectively by the exporters of Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Poland and Romania, should be repealed,.

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.

The articles of those CN codes can, for example, be made of paper pulp, paper, cellulose wadding or webs of cellulose fibres.

The French Republic is hereby authorized to apply intra-Community surveillance until 31 December 1984 in accordance with Decision 80/47/EEC, inrespect of imports of the products indicated below originating in third countries and in free circulation in the other Member States:1.2.3 // // // // CCT heading No // NIMEXE code // Description // // // // ex 44.05 C // 44.05-40 // Other coniferous wood sawn lengthwise, sliced or peeled, but not further prepared, of a thickness exceeding 5 mm // // // This Decision is addressed to the French Republic..

the sucrose content of the product in question is determined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.(3) Article 30(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic amount of the refund less one hundredth of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(4) to the products listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation;(4) According to the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the basic amount of the refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation exported in the natural state must be equal to one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the one hand, of the difference between the intervention price for white sugar for the Community areas without deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world market and, on the other, of the need to establish a balance between the use of Community basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under inward-processing arrangements.(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.(6) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 makes provision for setting refunds for export in the natural state of products referred to in Article 1(1)(f) and (g) and (h) of that Regulation; the refund must be fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of the export refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and of the economic aspects of the intended exports; in the case of the products referred to in the said Article (1)(f) and (g), the refund is to be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95; for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund shall be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.(7) The abovementioned refunds must be fixed every month; they may be altered in the intervening period.(8) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.(9) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial in nature.(10) In order to prevent any abuses associated with the reimportation into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, refunds for the products covered by this Regulation should not be fixed for all the countries of the western Balkans.(11) In view of the above, refunds for the products in question should be fixed at the appropriate amounts.(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,.

However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period.

It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.(9) The Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,.

Where an importer presents a declaration covered by this Regulation for release for free circulation in a Member State, applying to take advantage of the preferential arrangements, and the entry is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the appropriate quota volume.Requests for drawings, indicating the date on which the entries were accepted, must be sent to the Commission without delay.Drawings shall be granted by the Commission in chronological order of the dates on which the customs authorities of the Member States concerned accepted the entries for release for free circulation, to the extent that the available balance so permits.If a Member State does not use a drawing in full it shall return any unused portion to the corresponding quota volume as soon as possible.If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota volume, the balance shall be allocated among applicants pro rata. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made. Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products in question have equal and continuous access to the quotas for as long as the balance of the relevant quota volume so permits.

whereas specific sanctions are set out herein; whereas this Regulation refers to Council Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 of 23 November 1998, concerning the powers of the European Central Bank to impose sanctions (4) for the principles and procedures relating to the imposition of sanctions and provides for a simplified procedure for the imposition of sanctions in the event of certain kinds of infringements; whereas, in the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Regulation (EC) No 2532/98 and the provisions of this Regulation enabling the ECB to impose sanctions, the provisions of this Regulation should prevail;(4) Whereas Article 19.1 of the Statute provides that the Governing Council of the ECB may establish regulations concerning the calculation and determination of the required minimum reserves;(5) Whereas, in order to be effective as an instrument for the performance of money market management and monetary control functions, the system for the imposition of minimum reserves needs to be structured so that the ECB has the ability and flexibility to impose reserve requirements within the context of, and dependent upon, changing economic and financial conditions among participating Member States; whereas in this respect the ECB must have the flexibility to react to new payment technologies such as the development of electronic money; whereas the ECB may impose minimum reserves on liabilities resulting from off-balance-sheet items, in particular those that are either individually or in combination with other on-balance-sheet or off-balance-sheet items, comparable with liabilities recorded on the balance sheet, in order to limit the possibilities of circumvention;(6) Whereas the ECB, in establishing detailed regulations for the imposition of minimum reserves, including determining the actual reserve ratios, any remuneration of reserves, any exemptions from minimum reserves or any modifications to such requirements applicable to any specific group or groups of institutions, is bound to act in pursuance of the objectives of the European System of Central Banks (the 'ESCB`) as set out in Article 105(1) of the Treaty and as reflected in Article 2 of the Statute; whereas this implies, inter alia, the principle of not inducing significant undesirable delocation or disintermediation; whereas the imposition of such minimum reserves may constitute an element of the definition and implementation of the monetary policy of the Community, being one of the basic tasks of the ESCB as specified in the first indent of Article 105(2) of the Treaty and as reflected in the first indent of Article 3.1 of the Statute;(7) Whereas the sanctions provided in the event of non-compliance with the obligations set out in this Regulation are without prejudice to the possibility of the ESCB establishing appropriate enforcement provisions in its relations with counterparties, including the partial or total exclusion of an institution from monetary policy operations in the case of serious infringements of the minimum reserve requirements;(8) Whereas the ESCB and the ECB have been entrusted with the task of preparing the monetary policy instruments to allow for their full operation in the third stage of Economic and Monetary Union (hereinafter referred to as 'Stage Three`); whereas an essential element of preparation is the adoption, ahead of Stage Three, of ECB regulations requiring institutions to hold minimum reserves as from 1 January 1999; whereas it is desirable to inform market participants during 1998 of the detailed provisions which the ECB may deem necessary to adopt for the implementation of the minimum reserves system; whereas it is therefore necessary to provide the ECB from the date of entry into force of this Regulation with a regulatory power;(9) Whereas the provisions of this Regulation can only be effectively applied in their entirety if participating Member States adopt the necessary measures with a view to ensuring that their authorities have the powers to assist and collaborate fully with the ECB in carrying out the collection and verification of information as required by this Regulation, in accordance with Article 5 of the Treaty,.

The ECB may delegate to the national central banks the execution of the rights to which paragraphs 1 to 3 refer. In accordance with the first indent of Article 34.1 of the Statute, the ECB shall be empowered to specify further in a regulation the conditions under which the right to verify may be exercised. Sanctions in cases of non-compliance1. Where an institution fails to hold all or part of the minimum reserves imposed in accordance with this Regulation and ECB regulations or decisions associated herewith, the ECB may impose either of the following sanctions:(a) a payment of up to 5 percentage points above the ESCB's marginal lending rate or twice the ESCB's marginal lending rate, in both cases applied to the amount of the minimum reserves which the relevant institution fails to provide;(b) the requirement for the relevant institution to establish a non-interest-bearing deposit with the ECB or the national central banks up to 3 times the amount of the minimum reserves which the relevant institution fails to provide.

whereas this quota has been raised to 650 000 cubic metres by virtue of an agreement concluded with the United States and approved by Decision 87/224/EEC (1); whereas, under Protocol 11 to the 1972 Act of Accession, the Community is required to open each year autonomous nil duty Community tariff quotas for the same products, the volume thereof to be decided annually when it is established that all possibilities of supply on the internal market of the Community have been exhausted during the period for which the quotas are open; whereas the condition laid down by the said Protocol does not seem to be met at the moment; whereas, in these circumstances, it is appropriate as an initial measure not to exceed the contractual volume of 650 000 cubic metres; whereas the setting of the quota volume at this level does not exclude, moreover, recourse to the provisions of the abovementioned Protocol 11 during the quota period; whereas, therefore, the tariff quota in question should be opened on 1 January 1989;Whereas, for 1989, maintenance of the quotas for the Member States is necessary bearing in mind that it is impossible for the administration concerned in each Member State to introduce, in 1989, the administrative and technical basis for Community administration of the quota;Whereas, to allow for import trends for the products concerned, the quota should be divided into two parts, the first being allocated among the Member States, and the second held as a reserve to cover any subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial shares; whereas, in order to afford importers some degree of certainty, the first part of the quota should be set at a relatively high level, about 60 % of its full amount; whereas, on the basis of Member States' estimates of their needs, the initial shares could be as set out in Article 2;Whereas Member States may use up their initial shares at different rates; whereas, to provide for this eventuality and to avoid any break in the continuity of supplies, any Member State which has used up its initial share should draw additional shares in quantities corresponding to their real requirements, as many times as the reserve allows; whereas this form of administration requires close cooperation between Member States and the Commission and the latter must be able to monitor the extent to which the quota volume has been used up and to inform the Member States accordingly;Whereas if, during the quota period, the Community reserve is almost totally used up, it is essential that Member States return to the said reserve the whole of the unused proportion of their initial quota and of any drawings made, in order to avoid one part of the Community tariff quota remaining unused in one Member State when it could be used in others;Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any measure concerning the administration of quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,. 1. From 1 January to 31 December 1989, the customs duty applicable to imports of the following products shall be suspended at the level indicated and within the limits of a Community tariff quota as shown herewith:Order No CN code Description Amount of tariff quota (mÂł) Rate of duty (%) 09.0013 ex 4412 19 00 ex 4412 99 90 Plywood of coniferous species, without the addition of other substances:- Of a thickness greater than 8,5 mm, the faces of which are not further prepared than the peeling process - Sanded, and of a thickness greater than 18,5 mm 650 000 0 Within the limits of this tariff quota Spain and Portugal shall apply duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions set out in the 1985 Act of Accession.2. Imports of the products in question may not be charged against this tariff quota if they are already free of customs duties under other preferential tariff arrangements. 1. The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 (1) shall be divided into two parts.2. A first part of 390 000 cubic metres shall be allocated among certain Member States; these quota shares shall, subject to Article 4, be valid until 31 December 1989, and shall be as follows:(cubic metres) Benelux100 932 Denmark42 627 Germany61 620 Greece39 France7 215 Ireland5 850 Italy15 717 United Kingdom156 000 3. The second part, amounting to 260 000 cubic metres shall constitute the reserve.4. If products of the type in question are presented in Spain or Portugal and supported by a declaration as to entry into free circulation which is accepted by the customs services, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw a corresponding amount under the conditions laid down in Article 3. 1. If a Member State's initial share as specified in Article 2 (2), or of that share less any portion returned to the reserve where Article 4 has been applied has been used up entirely, the following provisions shall apply.If an importer presents, in a Member State, a declaration as to entry into free circulation comprising a request for preferential treatment for a product covered by this Regulation, and this request is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the reserve referred to in Article 2 (3).Requests to draw on the reserve together with the date of acceptance of the customs declarations must be forwarded to the Commission without delay.Drawings shall be granted by the Commission on the basis of the date of acceptance of goods for entry into free circulation by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, provided a sufficient amount remains in the reserve.If a Member State does not use the quantities drawn it shall return them to the reserve as soon as possible.If requests for drawings exceed the amount remaining in the reserve, an allocation shall be made pro rata. The Member States shall be informed by the Commission in accordance with the same procedure. 1. Once at least 80 % of the reserve of the tariff quota, as defined in Article 2 (3), has been used up, the Commission shall inform the Member States thereof.2. It shall also notify Member States in this case of the date from which drawings on the Community reserve must be made according to the provisions of Article 3.3. Within a period laid down by the Commission as from the date referred to in paragraph 2, Member States shall be required to return to the reserve the whole of the quantities which have not been used, by that date, within the meaning of Article 6 (4). The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pusuant to Articles 2 and 3 and, as soon as it has been notified, shall inform each State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up. 1. Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that additional drawings of shares pursuant to Article 3 are carried out in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.2. Member States shall ensure that importers of the products in question have free access to the shares allocated to them.3. Member States shall charge imports of the products in question against their shares as and when the products are entered with the customs authorities for free circulation.4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its share shall be determined on the basis of imports charged against that share in accordance with paragraph 3. At the Commission's request, Member States shall inform it of the imports actually charged against their quota shares. Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.

It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.(6) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,.

Measures as referred to in Article 1 (1) shall be proposed and carried out by institutions, organizations, undertakings or producer groups which:(a) have the necessary qualifications and experience;(b) give guarantees that they are capable of ensuring the satisfactory completion of the work.Proposals by individual firms will be considered only where they are particularly justified and where they would not prejudice the operations of regional organizations specializing in the field.Proposals put forward by institutions, organizations, undertakings or producer groups whose activities are exclusively or in part concerned with the production distribution or sales promotion of products which imitate milk and milk products shall not be considered.2. The Community contribution shall be limited to 90 % of expenditure incurred for the measures concerned. At most 40 % of the Community contribution can be used for measures under point (f) of Article 1 (1) and at most 10 % for those under point (h) of Article 1 (1).3. In the case of the measures referred to in Article 1 (1) (a), (b) and (g), account shall be taken for purposes of Community contribution only of the first fitting-out of laboratories with:- equipment (which may include incubators) for examining the bacteriological content of milk, including any combined data-processing equipment, but excluding software;- equipment for detecting antibiotics, inhibitory substances and impurities in raw milk, including any combined data-processing equipment, but excluding software;- equipment for detecting mastitis in raw milk.In certain properly justified cases:- equipment for taking samples, transporting, sorting, preserving and preparing the samples.The first fitting-out of already existing laboratories with improved, more economic, equipment shall be regarded as a measure referred to in Article 1 (1) (a), (b) and (g).Such equipment shall be financed only where its technical capacity will be effectively utilized.4. When a proposal is submitted by an organization buying milk or by an organization representing such enterprises, the Community contribution shall be subject to an undertaking on the part of the applicant to introduce, in his area of operation, a system whereby payment for milk is varied according to its bacteriological quality within the period fixed in the contract for the completion of the approved measures.In other cases, the applicant must undertake to promote in his area of operation before 1 April 1987 a system whereby payment for milk is varied according to its bacteriological quality or, if such a system already exists, to continue this system.5. The financing of general expenses incurred for the measures referred to in Article 1 (1) shall be limited to 2 % of the total approved cost. 1. Those concerned are hereby invited to submit, before 1 June 1986, to the competent authority appointed by the Member States referred to in Article 1 (1) hereinafter called 'the competent authority', complete detailed proposals concerning the measures referred to in Article 1 (1).Where this date is not complied with, the proposal shall be considered null and void.2. Further details for submission of proposals shall be as set out in the notices from the competent authorities published in Official Journal of the European Communities No C 35 of 11 February 1982, page 8. 1. Complete proposals shall include:(a) the name and address of the applicant;(b) all details concerning the measures proposed, including the time required for completion, the expected results and details of any third parties to be involved;(c) the total cost of these measures, net of tax, expressed in the currency of the Member State on whose territory the applicant is established, giving an itemized breakdown of this amount and setting out the source of finance;(d) the desired form of payment of the Community contribution (Article 7 (1) (a) or (b));(e) the most recent report available on the applicant's activities, unless this is already in the possession of the competent authority.2. Proposals shall be valid only where:(a) they are submitted by an applicant fulfilling the conditions laid down in Article 2 (1);(b) they are accompanied by an undertaking that the applicant will comply with the provisions of this Regulation, and in particular with the obligations under Article 2 (5). Article 51. Before 1 July 1986 the competent authorities shall:(a) examine all proposals submitted and any supporting documents to check that they are in the correct form and contain the information required. They shall ensure that the proposals comply with the provisions of Article 4 and shall ask applicants for further details if necessary;(b) compile a list of all the proposals received and send it to the Commission together with copies of each proposal and a reasoned opinion indicating whether or not the proposal conforms with this Regulation.2. After consulting the relevant interest groups in the milk industry, and following examination of the proposals by the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products in accordance with Article 31 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (1), the Commission shall establish before 1 August 1986 a list of the proposals selected for financing.3. The competent authorities shall conclude contracts with those parties whose proposals have been selected before 1 October 1986 in at least two copies and signed by the interested party and the competent authority. The competent authorities shall for this purpose use standard form contracts to be provided by the Commission.4. The competent authority shall inform each applicant as soon as possible of the decision taken in respect of its proposal. 1. The contract referred to in Article 5 (3) shall:(a) include the details referred to in Article 4 (1) or make reference to them; and(b) supplement these details, where necessary, by additional conditions resulting from the application of Article 5 (1).2. The competent authority shall send a copy of the contract to the Commission without delay.3. The competent authority shall ensure compliance with the agreed conditions in particular by means of on-the-spot checks. 1. The competent authority shall pay to the party in question, in accordance with the choice indicated in the latter's proposal, either:(a) within six weeks of the date of signature of the contract, a single payment on account amounting to 60 % of the agreed Community contribution; or(b) at four-monthly intervals, four equal instalments each amounting to 20 % of the agreed Community contribution, the first such instalment being paid within six weeks of the date of signature of the contract.However, while a contract is being performed, the competent authority may:- defer payment of an instalment either wholly or in part where it finds, in particular during the checks referred to in Article 6 (3), irregularities in carrying out the measures concerned or a substantial interval between the due date for payment of the instalment and the date when the party concerned will actually incur the forecast expenditure;- in exceptional cases, advance payment of an instalment either wholly or in part if the party concerned submits a reasoned request and shows that he must incur a substantial part of the expenditure significantly earlier than the date laid down for payment of the Community contribution towards the said expenditure.2. The payment of each instalment shall be conditional upon the lodging with the competent authority of a security equal to the amount of the instalment, plus 10 %.3. The release of securities and payment of the balance by the competent authority shall be subject to:(a) confirmation by the competent authority that the party concerned has fulfilled his obligations as laid down in the contract;(b) transmission to the competent authority of the report referred to in Article 8 (1) and verification of the details contained in this report by the competent authority.However, on reasoned request by the party concerned, the balance can be paid after the measure has been completed, and after submission of the report referred to in Article 8, and on condition that securities equal to the total amount of the Community contribution plus 10 % have been lodged;(c) the competent authority finding that the party concerned, or any third party named in the contract, has spent his own contribution for the purposes laid down.4. In so far as the conditions set out in paragraph 3 are not fulfilled, the securities shall be forfeit. In this event, the amount in question shall be deducted from the expenditure of the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, and more particularly from that arising out of the measures referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77. 1.

That list includes MCPA and MCPB.(2) For those active substances the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. By Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94 of 27 April 1994 laying down the active substances of plant protection products and designating the rapporteur Member State for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (3), Italy was designated as rapporteur Member State. On 5 April 2001 and 19 December 2001 Italy submitted the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the Commission in accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.(3) The assessment reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The reviews were finalised on 15 April 2005 in the format of the Commission review reports for MCPA and MCPB.(4) The reviews of MCPA and MCPB did not reveal any open question to be addressed by the Scientific Committee on Plants or the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) which has taken over the role of the latter.(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing MCPA or MCPB may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review reports. It is therefore appropriate to include these active substances in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.(6) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.(7) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414 as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing MCPA or MCPB to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.(8) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.(9) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 October 2006 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 November 2006.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. 1.   Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing MCPA or MCPB as active substances by 31 October 2006. By that date, they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to MCPA and MCPB respectively are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning those active substances, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13.2.   By derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing MCPA or MCPB as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 30 April 2006 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning MCPA and MCPB respectively. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing MCPA or MCPB as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 April 2010 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing MCPA or MCPB as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 April 2010 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.

the sucrose content of the product in question is determined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.(3) Article 30(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic amount of the refund less one hundredth of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry (3), to the products listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation.(4) According to the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the basic amount of the refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation exported in the natural state must be equal to one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the one hand, of the difference between the intervention price for white sugar for the Community areas without deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world market and, on the other, of the need to establish a balance between the use of Community basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under inward-processing arrangements.(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.(6) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 makes provision for setting refunds for export in the natural state of products referred to in Article 1(1)(f) and (g) and (h) of that Regulation; the refund must be fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of the export refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and of the economic aspects of the intended exports;

The amount of the premium depends on the number of jobs created and may account for up to 4 % of the investment in question.When examining the Netherlands Law at the draft stage, in the course of the procedure under Article 93 (3) of the EEC Treaty, the Commission pointed out that since the ""additional premium for major schemes"" involved no sectoral or regional objectives it therefore constituted a general aid system, and that since the arrangements applied to all investment, without distinction by reference to given undertakings, regions or sectors, they could not qualify for the derogations under Article 92 (3) (a) or (c). In the absence of such specification, the Commission could not assess the system's effects on trade between Member States and on competition and therefore assess its compatibility with the common market.In respect of such general aid systems it is now the well-established policy of the Commission to accept them subject to one of two conditions, namely, that the Member State concerned notifies to the Commission either a plan for regional or sectoral application or alternatively, where this is felt not to be possible, significant individual cases of application.In line with this approach, and in accordance with Article 93 (3) of the EEC Treaty, the Commission requested prior notification in good time of individual cases of application of the ""additional premium for major schemes"", account being taken of the amount of investment concerned.During discussions with the Netherlands authorities the Commission stated that it would assess each case on its own merits in the light of the rules contained in Article 92 et seq. or rules developed during administration of those provisions. The Netherlands Government could not infer that, by requesting regular prior notification, the Commission had taken a favourable view of the additional premium system.The Netherlands Government complied with the Commission's request by including the prior notification procedure in Articles 6 (7) and 7 (3) of Chapter V of the Netherlands Law of 29 June 1978.IIBy letter dated 20 November 1979 the Netherlands Government informed the Commission, as required by the procedure, of its intention to grant the ""additional premium for major schemes"" to a Netherlands petrochemical firm.The scheme of assistance is designed to help the firm to renew its research laboratories in the Amsterdam area and would not create any new jobs.Total investment is estimated at Fl 39 75 million and the scheme would qualify for a Fl 1.1 million grant under the WIR scheme (additional premium for major schemes) ; on account of its location in Amsterdam the scheme does not qualify for regional aid. (1) Staatsblad 1978, No 368.The firm concerned is already established in Amsterdam and regards this investment as a profitable undertaking allowing it to maintain its position on an expanding market.IIIThe Netherlands Government replied on 6 March 1980 to the Commission's notice under Article 93 of the EEC Treaty, emphasizing that the WIR scheme operated automatically, did not permit aid to be granted selectively in accordance with the desirability of the investments concerned and that the planned investment was designed mainly to promote reasearch in the petrochemicals sector, where the firm has good prospects.IVThe aid proposed by the Netherlands Government is therefore liable to affect trade between Member States and to distort or threaten to distort competition within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty by favouring the undertaking in question or the production of its goods.Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty provides that, in principle, any aid fulfilling the criteria which it sets out is incompatible with the common market. The derogations from this principle set out in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty specify objectives pursued in the Community interest and not in that of the individual recipient of the aid. These derogations must be strictly interpreted in the examination both of any regional or sectoral aid scheme and of any individual case of application of general aid systems. In particular, they may be applied only where the Commission establish that, in the absence of the aid, the free play of market forces would not of itself induce the recipient undertakings to act in such a manner as to contribute to the attainment of one of the objectives specified by those derogations.To derogate in this way in favour of aids offering no compensatory benefit would be tantamount to allowing trade between Member States to be affected and competition to be distorted without any justification in terms of the interest of the Community, while at the same time granting undue advantages to certain Member States.When applying the principles set out above in its examination of individual cases of application of general aid systems, the Commission must be satisfied that there exists on the part of the recipient undertaking a specific compensatory justification in that the grant of aid is required to promote the attainment of one of the objectives set out in Article 92 (3) of the Treaty. Where this cannot be demonstrated, and especially where the proposed investment nevertheless takes place, it is clear that the aid does not contribute to the attainment of the objectives of the derogations but serves to increase the financial power of the undertaking in question.In the case in question there does not appear to be such a compensatory justification on the part of the recipient of the aid.The Netherlands Government has not been able to give, nor has the Commission found, any grounds to establish that the proposed aid meets the conditions justifying one of the derogations for which provision is made in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty.As regards the derogations of Article 92 (3) (a) and (c) of the EEC Treaty concerning aid to promote or to facilitate the development of certain areas, it cannot be considered that the standard of living in the Amsterdam area is ""abnormally low"" or that it suffers from ""serious under-employment"" within the meaning of subparagraph (a). As regards the derogation of subparagraph (c), the Netherlands Government has not included that area amongst those requiring special regional development aid. The Netherlands Government, in its comments submitted to the Commission, itself emphasized that the ""additional premium for major schemes"" was not granted on account of regional considerations.In respect of the derogations envisaged in Article 92 (3) (b) of the EEC Treaty, investment of this type is brought about in a general way by normal market forces. Moreover, there is nothing peculiar to the investment in question to qualify it as a project of common European interest or as one designed to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of a Member State, the promotion of which merits a derogation under Article 92 (3) (b) of the EEC Treaty from the principle of the incompatibility of aids laid down by Article 92 (1). In stating its views on the WIR, the Commission recalled that the Netherlands are part of the Community's central regions. These regions are not suffering from the most serious economic and social problems in the Community but they are the regions where there is a real risk of an upward spiral of aids, and where any aid is likely, more than elsewhere, to affect trade between Member States. Furthermore, the information available on the socio-economic situation in that country does not point to the conclusion that it is suffering from a serious disturbance in its economy within the meaning of the Treaty. In individual cases of application the ""additional premium for major projects"" is not granted for the purpose of dealing with such a situation.To take any other view would enable the Netherlands, in the present climate of slow growth and high unemployment throughout the Community, to divert to their advantage investment which might be made in other, less well-placed Member States. Recent social and economic trends in the Community justify maintaining this approach as regards both the scheme itself and possible cases of application.Finally, as regards the derogations provided for in Article 92 (3) (c) of the EEC Treaty in favour of ""aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities"", trends in the petrochemicals industry have demonstrated that the play of market forces should be capable itself, without state intervention, of ensuring that the relevant research develops normally. In addition, the development prospects as regards the petrochemicals industry give reason to believe that the proposed assistance would alter trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.In view of the foregoing, the abovementioned aid proposed by the Netherlands Government does not fulfil the conditions necessary for it to benefit from any of the derogations referred to in Article 92 (3) of the EEC Treaty,. The Kingdom of the Netherlands shall refrain from implementing its proposal, notified to the Commission by letter dated 20 November 1979 from its Minister for Foreign Affairs, to grant the ""additional premium for major schemes"" in favour of investment made at Amsterdam by a Netherlands undertaking in the petrochemicals industry. The Kingdom of the Netherlands shall inform the Commission within two months of the date of notification of this Decision of the measures which it has taken to comply with it.

The conclusions drawn from these reports show that the measures provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1221/97 should be adapted to the current situation in the Community beekeeping sector. That Regulation should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new one.(4) Beekeeping is a sector of agriculture, the main functions of which are economic activity and rural development, the production of honey and other products of the hive and the maintenance of ecological balance.(5) The sector is characterised by diversity of production conditions and yields, and by the dispersion and variety of economic operators, both at the production and marketing stage.(6) In view of the spread of varroasis in several Member States in recent years and the problems which this disease causes for honey production, action by the Community is necessary as varroasis cannot be completely eradicated and is to be treated with approved products.(7) Given these circumstances and in order to improve the production and marketing of apiculture products in the Community, national programmes should be drawn up every three years comprising technical assistance, control of varroasis, rationalisation of transhumance, management of the restocking of hives in the Community, and cooperation on research programmes on beekeeping and apiculture products.(8) In order to supplement the statistical data on beekeeping, Member States should carry out studies on the structure of the sector, covering production, marketing and price formation.(9) Expenditure by the Member States in fulfilment of the obligations arising from this Regulation should be borne by the Community in accordance with Article 2(2) and (3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy(4).(10) The competition rules governing State aid in the field of beekeeping should apply. Nevertheless, an exemption from the rules on State aids should be made with regard to financial contributions provided by Member States for measures subject to Community support in accordance with this Regulation as well as with regard to specific national aids for the protection of apiaries disadvantaged by structural or natural conditions or under economic development programmes, except for those granted for production or trade; special rules should be established for such State aid.(11) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation 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 to the Commission(5),. 1. This Regulation lays down measures for improving general conditions for the production and marketing of apiculture products.To this end, each Member State may draw up a national programme for a period of three years, hereinafter referred to as the ""apiculture programme"".2. For the purpose of this Regulation:(a) ""honey"" means the product which corresponds to the provisions of Annex I to Council Directive 2001/110/EC of 20 December relating to honey(6);(b) ""apiculture products"" means the products defined in Annex I, point 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption(7).3. Articles 87, 88 and 89 of the Treaty shall apply to aid granted in the honey and honey products sector. Nevertheless, Articles 87 to 89 of the Treaty shall not apply:(a) to the financial contribution provided by Member States for measures subject to Community support in accordance with this Regulation;(b) to specific national aids for the protection of apiaries disadvantaged by structural or natural conditions or under economic development programmes, except for those allocated for production or trade.Aids referred to in (b) must be notified to the Commission by Member States at the same time as their apiculture programme provided for in Article 5. The measures which may be included in the apiculture programme shall be the following:(a) technical assistance to beekeepers and groupings of beekeepers;(b) control of varroasis;(c) rationalisation of transhumance;(d) measures to support laboratories carrying out analyses of the physico-chemical properties of honey;(e) measures to support the restocking of hives in the Community;(f) cooperation with specialised bodies for the implementation of applied research programmes in the field of beekeeping and apiculture products.Measures financed under Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)(8) shall be excluded from the apiculture programme. To be eligible for the part-financing provided for in Article 4(2), Member States shall carry out a study of the production and marketing structure in the beekeeping sector in their territory. This study shall be communicated with the apiculture programme. 1. Expenditure made in accordance with this Regulation shall be considered to be intervention within the meaning of Article 2(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999.2. The Community shall provide part-financing for the apiculture programmes equivalent to 50 % of the expenditure borne by Member States.3. Expenditure relating to the measures taken under the apiculture programmes must be made by the Member States by 15 October each year. The apiculture programme shall be drawn up in close collaboration with the representative organisations and beekeeping cooperatives. It shall be communicated to the Commission, which shall approve it in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in eggs(9). 1.

the sucrose content of the product in question is determined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.(3) Article 30(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic amount of the refund less one hundredth of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry (3), to the products listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation.(4) According to the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the basic amount of the refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation exported in the natural state must be equal to one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the one hand, of the difference between the intervention price for white sugar for the Community areas without deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world market and, on the other, of the need to establish a balance between the use of Community basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under inward-processing arrangements.(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.(6) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 makes provision for setting refunds for export in the natural state of products referred to in Article 1(1)(f) and (g) and (h) of that Regulation; the refund must be fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of the export refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and of the economic aspects of the intended exports; in the case of the products referred to in the said Article (1)(f) and (g), the refund is to be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95; for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund shall be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.(7) The abovementioned refunds must be fixed every month; they may be altered in the intervening period.(8) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.(9) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial in nature.(10) In order to prevent any abuses associated with the reimportation into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, refunds for the products covered by this Regulation should not be fixed for all the countries of the western Balkans.(11) In view of the above, refunds for the products in question should be fixed at the appropriate amounts.(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,.

whereas Article 109j (1) of the Treaty lays down that the reports prepared by the Commission and the European Monetary Institute shall include an examination of the compatibility between each Member State's national legislation, including the statutes of its national central bank, and Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty and the Statute of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) and shall also examine the achievement of a high degree of sustainable convergence by reference to the fulfilment by each Member State of four criteria relating to price stability, the government financial position, exchange rates and long-term interest rates; whereas Protocol 6 to the Treaty lays down the details of the convergence criteria referred to in Article 109j of the Treaty;Whereas according to Article 109j (2) of the Treaty, the Council, on the basis of these reports, assessed on 11 November 1996, for each Member State, whether it fulfilled the necessary conditions for the adoption of a single currency and whether a majority of the Member States fulfilled these conditions;Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Protocol 11 to the Treaty, the United Kingdom has notified the Council that it does not intend to move to the third stage in 1997;Whereas, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Protocol 12 to the Treaty, the Danish Government has notified the Council that it will not participate in the third stage;Whereas the Council, in its recommendation of 11 November 1996, pursuant to Article 109j (2) of the Treaty, concluded that at present there is not a majority of Member States fulfilling the conditions for the adoption of the single currency and therefore recommended the Council, meeting in the composition of the Heads of State or Government, to decide that there is no such majority of Member States, that consequently the Community will not enter the third stage of EMU in 1997 and that the procedure laid down in Article 109j (4) of the Treaty will be applied as soon as possible in 1998;Whereas Member States' national legislation, including the statutes of national central banks, is being adapted with a view to ensuring full compatibility with Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty and the Statute of the ESCB; whereas such adaptations need to ensure full compatibility with the Treaty at the latest at the date of the establishment of the ESCB;Whereas progress has been made by Member States towards convergence, in particular as regards convergence of inflation and interest rates, exchange-rate stability and with other preparations for EMU, though more needs to be done, notably on government financial positions; whereas, according to the second indent of Article 109j (1) of the Treaty, the sustainability of the government financial position will be apparent from having achieved a government budgetary position without a deficit that is excessive as determined in accordance with Article 104c (6) of the Treaty; whereas, according to Council Decisions of 26 September 1994, 10 July 1995 and 27 June 1996; taken pursuant to Article 104c (6) of the Treaty, 12 Member States have an excessive government deficit; whereas no majority of Member States has achieved a sufficiently high degree of sustainable convergence;Whereas, according to Article 109j (4) of the Treaty, if by the end of 1997 the date for the beginning of the third stage has not been set, the third stage shall start on 1 January 1999; whereas the European Council confirmed in Madrid in December 1995 that 1 January 1999 will be the starting date for the third stage of EMU in accordance with the convergence criteria, timetable and procedures laid down in the Treaty; whereas, on the same date, the European Council confirmed that as early as possible in 1998, it will be decided which Member States fulfil the necessary conditions for the adoption of the single currency; whereas in Florence in June 1996 the European Council reconfirmed that the third stage of EMU will begin on 1 January 1999, as agreed in the Madrid European Council,. From an assessment for each Member State whether it fulfils the necessary conditions for the adoption of a single currency, it follows that there is not a majority of Member States fulfilling the conditions therefor. The Community will not enter the third stage of EMU in 1997.The procedure laid down in Article 109j (4) of the Treaty will be applied as early as possible in 1998.

MEASUREMENT1.1 General 1.1.1 Measurement shall be either by volume (true or stacked cubic metres) or by weight.1.1.2 Only the metric system shall be used for measuring.1.1.3 Measuring instruments shall be officially inspected and maintained in good condition.1.2 Wood in the full length 1.2.1 Wood in the rough whose volume is usually expressed in true cubic metres shall be called wood in the full length.1.2.2 Wood in the full length shall usually be measured in individual units. Wood in the full length of irregular shape shall be measured by sections.1.2.3 The volume of an individual unit shall be determined from the length and the diameter measured over or under bark. Volume shall be calculated to the nearest two decimal places at least, using customary cube tables.1.2.4 Diameter measurements shall be rounded off to the centimetre below. Where diameter is measured over bark, a reasonable reduction shall be made. The reduction made shall be stated.1.2.5 In the case of measurements up to and including 19 cm, the diameter under bark shall be measured in one operation using a forestry caliper on the felled trunk (horizontal diameter). In the case of measurements over 20 cm under bark, however, the diameter shall be determined by two intersecting measurements made perpendicularly one to the other (as far as possible, at the narrowest diameter and the widest diameter). If the place to be measured is situated on a whorl of branches or at another irregular part of the trunk, the diameter shall be obtained by taking the average of the measurements made on either side and at an equal distance from the place to be measured.1.2.6 Length measurements shall be rounded off to the decimetre below. For wood in the full length with a middle diameter of 20 cm or less under bark, the length may be rounded off to the metre below. If there is a felling bevel, the length shall be measured from the middle of that bevel.1.3 Wood in stacked cubic metres 1.3.1 Wood in the rough whose volume is usually expressed in stacked cubic metres shall be called wood in stacked cubic metres.1.3.2 Wood in stacked cubic metres shall be over-measured in height by at least 3 %.2. CLASSIFICATION2.1 General 2.1.1 Wood in the rough may be classified: (i) by species and common name,(ii) by dimensions,(iii) by quality.2.2 Classification by dimensions 2.2.1 For measuring the diameter and the length for purposes of classification, items 1.2.4, 1.2.5 and 1.2.6 shall apply.2.2.2 Dimension classification shall be made, irrespective of length, according to the middle diameter under bark using the following classifications: >PIC FILE= ""T0050827"">2.2.3 Further classes may be formed above class 6, maintaining however the same graduation. Subdivision into a and b subclasses may be disregarded or extended to all classes.2.2.4 Wood in the full length may also be classified by minimum length and minimum top diameter under bark corresponding to that length using the following classifications: >PIC FILE= ""T0050828"">By way of derogation from the provisions of item 1.2.3, the top diameter shall be measured only once.2.2.5 Certain groups made up of different types of wood in the full length (poles, posts etc) shall be divided into classes according to the diameter over bark 1 cm from the butt-end using the following classifications: >PIC FILE= ""T0050829"">2.2.6 Wood in stacked cubic metres shall be divided into classes according to the top diameter over bark using the following classifications: >PIC FILE= ""T0050830"">When wood in stacked cubic metres is stripped of its bark, the diameters given above shall be reduced by 1 cm.2.3 Classification by quality 2.3.1 Quality classification shall take into consideration the following criteria: - Bending: bending shall be measured by dividing the total bow, expressed in centimetres to the nearest centimetre, by the distance separating the two extremities of the bend, expressed in metres to one decimal place.Bending shall be expressed in centimetres per metre.- Twisted grain: the extent of this defect shall be measured by determining the distance, expressed in centimetres to the nearest centimetre per metre length, between the direction of the fibres and a generating line parallel to the axis of the wood in the full length.Twist shall be expressed in centimetres per metre.- Taper: taper shall be measured by dividing the difference between the diameters of the wood in the full length 1 m from the extremities, measured in centimetres and rounded to the centimetre below, by the distance separating them, expressed in metres to one decimal place.Taper shall be expressed in centimetres per metre to one decimal place.- Exposed knots, sound (or light) knots, decayed (or black) knots. The diameter of knots shall be measured in millimetres at their smallest dimension.- Overgrown knots, knobs.- Eccentric heart.- Reaction wood: tension wood in the case of broad-leaved trees, compression wood or red striped in the case of conifers.- Irregularity of contour.- Ring shakes, heart shakes, felling shakes, frost cracks.- Wood derived from trees seasoned on the stump and defects due to seasoning, checks.- Discoloration.- Other defects caused by harmful organisms.2.3.2 When classification is by quality, wood in the rough shall be divided into quality classes according to the following classifications: >PIC FILE= ""T0050831"">2.3.3 Wood in the full length in quality classes A/EEC and C/EEC must bear an indelible class identification mark.

PROCEEDING(1) In April 1990, the Commission received a complaint from the European Council of Chemical Manufacturers' Federations (Cefic) (hereinafter referred to as 'the complainant') on behalf of the only Community producer of dihydrostreptomycin (hereinafter referred to as 'DHS') concerning imports of that product originating in the People's Republic of China and Japan.(2) The complaint contained evidence of the existence of dumping and of the resulting material injury, which was sufficient to justify the opening of an investigation. The Commission therefore announced, in a notice published in the Offical Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning the product in question, which falls within CN code 2941 20 10.B. PROVISIONAL MEASURES(3) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 2054/91 (3), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of dihydrostreptomycin (DHS) falling within CN code 2941 20 10 and originating in China. Furthermore, the validity of the provisional duty was extended for a period not exceeding two months by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3091/91 (4).(4) In recitals 31 to 35 of the provisional Regulation the Commission found that the imports of DHS from Japan had not caused or contributed to the material injury suffered by the Community industry.C. SUBSEQUENT PROCEDURE(5) No reasoned arguments were put forward by either the Community industry or the exporter of DHS from China which has previously disputed the Commission's findings as set out in recitals 31 to 35 of the provisional Regulation in relation to the exports of DHS originating in Japan.D. TERMINATION(6) Accordingly, it is apparent that protective measures with regard to Japan are unnecessary and the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of DHS originating in Japan should be terminated without measures being imposed.(7) No objections to this conclusion were raised in the Advisory Committee.(8) The complainant was informed of the essential facts and principal considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding concerning Japan and did not dispute them,. The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of dihydrostreptomycin originating in Japan is hereby terminated.. Done at Brussels, 27 January 1992.

whereas this present Regulation therefore applies to the Community with the exception of Portugal;Whereas, as from 1 January 1988, the nomenclature used by the Common Customs Tariff will be replaced by the Combined Nomenclature based on the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System; whereas this Regulation takes account of this fact by indicating the Combined Nomenclature codes and, where appropriate, the Taric code numbers of the products concerned;Whereas it is in particular necessary to ensure equal and uninterrupted access for all Community importers to the abovementioned quota and uninterrupted application of the rates laid down for this quota to all imports of the products concerned into the Member States until the quota has been used up; whereas a system of using a Community tariff quota, based on allocation among the Member States, appears likely to comply with the Community nature of the said quota having regard to the above principles; whereas, in order to reflect most accurately the actual development of the market in the products in question, such allocation should be in proportion to the requirements of the Member States assessed by reference both to the statistics relating to imports of the said products from Tunisia over a representative reference period and to the economic outlook for the quota period concerned;Whereas in this case, however, neither Community nor national statistics showing the breakdown for each of the types of wines in question are available and no reliable estimates of future imports can be made; whereas in these circumstances the quota volumes should be allocated in initial shares, taking into account demand for these wines on the markets of the various Member States;Whereas, to take into account import trends for the products concerned in the various Member States, the quota amount should be divided into two parts, the first being allocated among the Member States and the second held as a reserve intended to cover at a later date the requirements of Member States which have used up their initial share; whereas, in order to guarantee some degree of security to importers in each Member State an appropriate level for, the first part of the Community quota would, in the present circumstances, be 40 % of the quota volume;Whereas the initial shares of the Member States may not be used up at the same rate; whereas, in order to take this into account and avoid any break in continuity, any Member State which has used up almost all its initial share should draw a further share from the reserve; whereas this should be done by each Member State each time one of its additional shares is almost used up, and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas the initial and additional shares must be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close collaboration between the Member States and the Commission, and the latter must be in a position in particular to monitor the extent to which the quota volume has been used up and inform the Member States thereof;Whereas, if at a given date in the quota period a Member State has a considerable quantity of the initial share left over, it is essential that it should return a significant proportion thereof to the reserve to prevent a part of the Community quota remaining unused in one Member State when it could be used in others;Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning the administration of the quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members,. 1. From 1 November 1987 to 31 October 1988, on import into the Community with the exception of Portugal, the customs duty for the following products shall be suspended at a level and within the limits of a Community tariff quota as follows:1.2.3.4.5.6 // // // // // // // Order No // CCT heading No // Combined Nomenclature code (1) // Description // Amount of tariff quota (in hl) // Tariff quota duty (%) // // // // // // // // // // // // // 09.1206 // ex 22.05 C // ex 2204 21 25 ex 2204 21 29 ex 2204 21 35 ex 2204 21 39 // Wine of fresh grapes; grape must with fermentation arrested by the addition of alcohol Other: - Wines entitled to one of the following designations of origin: // 50 000 // free // // // // Coteaux de Tebourba, Coteaux d'Utique, Sidi-Salem, Kelibia, Thibar, Mornag, grand cru Mornag of an actual alcoholic strength of 15 % vol or less and in containers holding two litres or less, originating in Tunisia // // // // // // // //(1) From 1 January 1988, the numbers in the column headed 'Combined Nomenclature code' will replace those in the column headed 'CCT heading No'.Within the limits of this tariff quota, the Kingdom of Spain shall apply customs duties calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2573/87.2. Wines produced from the 1977 or subsequent harvests shall be eligible for the tariff quota referred to in paragraph 1.3. The wines in question are subject to compliance with the free-at-frontier reference price.The wines in question shall be eligible under this tariff quota on condition that the provisions of Article 54 of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 are complied with.4. Each of these wines when imported shall be accompanied either by a certificate of designation of origin, issued by the relevant Tunisian authority, in accordance with the model annexed to this Regulation and certifying in box 16 that the wines have been produced from the 1977 or subsequent harvests, or by a document V I 1 or an extract V I 2 annotated in compliance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3590/85. 1. The tariff quota referred to in Article 1 shall be divided into two parts.2. The first part of the quota shall be allocated among the Member States, the shares, which subject to Article 5 shall be valid up to 31 October 1988, shall be as follows:1.2 // // (hecto- litres) // Benelux // 3 280 // Denmark // 2 000 // Germany // 4 000 // Greece // 640 // Spain // 640 // France // 4 000 // Ireland // 800 // Italy // 1 600 // United Kingdom // 3 0403. The second part of the quota, amounting to 30 000 hectolitres shall constitute the reserve. 1. If 90 % or more of a Member State's initial share, as specified in Article 2 (2), or of that share less the portion returned to the reserve where Article 5 has been applied, has been used up, that Member State shall, without delay, by notifying the Commission, draw a second share equal to 15 % of its initial share, rounded up where necessary to the next whole number, in so far as the amount in the reserve allows.2. If, after its initial share has been used up, 90 % or more of the second share drawn by a Member State has been used up, that Member State shall, in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 7,5 % of its initial share, rounded up where necessary to the next whole number, in so far as the amount in the reserve allows.3. If, after its second share has been used up, 90 % or more of the third share drawn by a Member State has been used up, that Member State shall, in accordance with paragraph 1, draw a fourth share equal to the third.This process shall continue until the reserve is used up.4. Notwithstanding paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, Member States may draw smaller shares than those specified in these paragraphs if there is reason to believe that they might not be used up. They shall inform the Commission of their reasons for applying this paragraph. The additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 shall be valid until 31 October 1988. Member States shall return to the reserve, not later than 1 September 1988, the unused portion of their initial share which, on 15 August 1988, is in excess of 20 % of the initial amount. They may return a greater portion if there are grounds for believing that such portion might not be used in full.Member States shall notify the Commission not later than 1 September 1988 of the total quantities of the products concerned imported under the Community quota up to and including 15 August 1988 and, where appropriate, the proportion of their initial share that they are returning to the reserve. The Commission shall keep account of the shares opened by Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and shall inform each State of the extent to which the reserve has been used up as soon as it has been notified.The Commission shall notify the Member States, not later than 5 September 1988, of the state of the reserve after the return of shares pursuant to Article 5.The Community shall ensure that the drawing which uses up the reserve does not exceed the balance available and, to this end, shall specify the amount thereof to the Member State making the final drawing. 1. Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community quota.2. Member States shall ensure that importers of the products concerned have free access to the shares allocated to them.3. Member States shall charge imports of the products concerned against their shares as and when the products are entered for free circulation.4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its shares shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3. At the request of the Commission, Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares. Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with. 0This 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 November 1987.

The competent authorities have taken various measures to address the situation.(4) Contaminated animal feed was delivered to pig farms in Ireland. The contaminated feed constitutes a very large portion of the pig diet resulting in high levels of dioxins in meat from pigs from the affected farms. Given the difficulties in tracing back the pigmeat to farms and given the high levels of dioxin found in the affected pigmeat, the competent authorities decided to recall, as a precautionary measure, all pigmeat and pigmeat products from the market.(5) The application of those measures is causing very serious disturbance of the pigmeat market in Northern Ireland. Given the exceptional circumstances and the practical difficulties that the pigmeat market in Northern Ireland is experiencing, it is therefore appropriate to provide for Community emergency market support measures by granting aid for private storage in Northern Ireland, for a limited period and relating to a limited quantity of products.(6) Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that a private storage aid may be granted for pigmeat and that aid shall be fixed by the Commission in advance or by means of tendering procedure.(7) As the situation on the pigmeat market in Northern Ireland requires rapid practical action, the most appropriate procedure to grant an aid for private storage would be fixing it in advance.(8) 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) has established common rules for the implementation of the private storage aid scheme.(9) Pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008, an aid fixed in advance is to be granted in accordance with the detailed rules and conditions provided for in Chapter III of that Regulation.(10) In view of the particular circumstances, it is necessary to require that the products to be placed into storage are derived from pigs that were reared on farms for which it is ascertained that these were not affected by contaminated feed. Moreover, it is necessary to provide that the products concerned originate from pigs raised in Ireland or Northern Ireland and slaughtered in Northern Ireland.(11) In order to facilitate the management of the measure, the pigmeat products are classified according to similarities with regard to the level of storage cost.(12) In order to facilitate the administrative and control work relating to the conclusion of contracts, minimum quantities of products each applicant must provide for should be fixed.(13) A security should be fixed in order to ensure the operators fulfil their contractual obligations and that the measure will have its desired effect on the market.(14) Exports of pigmeat products contribute to restoring the balance on the market. Therefore, provisions of Article 28(3) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 should apply when the storage period is shortened where products removed from storage are intended for export. Daily amounts to be applied for the reduction of the amount of the aid as referred to in that Article should be fixed.(15) For the purpose of application of the first subparagraph of Article 28(3) of Regulation (EC) No 826/2008 and for reason of consistency and clarity for operators, it is necessary to express in days the period of 2 months referred therein.(16) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common implementing rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2) specifies the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.(2) In accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question must be fixed for each month.(3) Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lay down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.(4) The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.(5) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.(6) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds available in the budget.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,.

That specific rate must be fixed each month for the previous month. However, in the case of the reimbursable amounts applying from 1 January 1999, as a result of the introduction of the agrimonetary arrangements for the euro from that date, the fixing of the conversion rate should be limited to the specific exchange rates prevailing between the euro and the national currencies of the Member States that have not adopted the single currency.(3) Application of these provisions will lead to the fixing, for August 2001, of the specific exchange rate for the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs in the various national currencies as indicated in the Annex to this Regulation,.

The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. This tolerance was defined in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (2).(2) The Government of Poland has requested the Commission to authorise three methods for grading pig carcases and has submitted the results of its dissection trials which were executed before the day of accession, by presenting part two of the protocol provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85.(3) The evaluation of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising these grading methods are fulfilled.(4) Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 lays down that Member States may be authorised to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the standard presentation defined in the same Article where commercial practice or technical requirements warrant such a derogation.(5) In Poland the traditions in carcase presentation, and consequently, commercial practice, necessitate that carcases can be presented with the flare fat, kidneys and/or diaphragm. This should be taken into account in adjusting the weight recorded to the weight for standard presentation.(6) No modification of the apparata or grading methods may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained; for this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,. The use of the following methods is hereby authorised for grading pig carcases pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in Poland:(a) the apparatus termed ‘Capteur Gras/Maigre — Sydel (CGM)’ and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex;(b) the apparatus termed ‘Ultra FOM 300’ and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in part 2 of the Annex;(c) the apparatus called ‘Fully automatic ultrasonic carcase grading (Autofom)’ and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in part 3 of the Annex.As regards the apparatus ‘Ultra FOM 300’, referred in the first paragraph, point (b), it is laid down that after the end of the measurement procedure it must be possible to verify on the carcase that the apparatus measured the values of measurement T1 and T2 on the site provided for in the Annex, part 2, point 3. The corresponding marking of the measurement site must be made at the same time as the measurement procedure. Notwithstanding the standard presentation referred to in Article 2(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, the flare fat, the kidneys and the diaphragm need not be removed from pig carcases before being weighed and graded. In order to establish quotations for pig carcases on a comparable basis, the recorded hot weight shall be reduced:(a) for diaphragm by 0,23 %(b) for flare fat and kidneys by:— 1,90 % for carcases grade S and E,— 2,11 % for carcases grade U,— 2,54 % for carcases grade R,— 3,12 % for carcases grade O,— 3,35 % for carcases grade P.

administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products(1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC(2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,Whereas:(1) The Commission is required to select, of the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety. This means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required.(2) Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined shall be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications. It is therefore desirable to identify the products or family of products referred to in the technical specifications.(3) The two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC. It is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures shall be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems.(4) The procedure referred to in Article 13(3)(a) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of section 2(ii) of Annex III. The procedure referred to in Article 13(3)(b) corresponds to the systems set out in section 2(i) of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of section 2(ii) of Annex III.(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,. The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.

PROCEDURE(1) Following the receipt by the Commission of a complaint lodged by the Confédération Européenne des Fédérations des Industries Chimiques (CEFIC) on behalf of manufacturers representing all the Community production of the product concerned, containing sufficient evidence of dumping and material injury to justify the initiation of a proceeding, the Commission announced by a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2) the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of glutamic acid and its salts originating in Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Thailand and began an investigation.The product concerned is glutamic acid and its salts used mainly as a flavour enhancer in food products, such as soups and preserved fish and meat, falling within CN code 2922 42 00.(2) The Commission officially notified the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting countries and the Community producers, and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing.(3) The Commission sought all information it deemed necessary from the following interested parties and verified it, where appropriate, by carrying out investigations at the premises of those parties:(a) Community producersOrsan S.A., Paris,Biacor S.A., Padua,Peniberica S.A., Pamplona.(b) Producers/exporters to the CommunityIndonesia:- P.T. Ajinomoto Indonesia, Jakarta,- P.T. Sasa, Jakarta,- P.T. Miwon Indonesia, Jakarta.Korea:- Cheil Sugar Co. Ltd, Seoul,- Seoul Miwom Co. Ltd, Seoul.Taiwan:- Tung Hai Fermentation Industry Corporation, Taichung,- Ve Wong Corporation, Taipei,- Wei-Chuan Foods Corporation, Taipei.Thailand:- Thai Fermentation Industry Co., Bangkok,- S.C.T. Company, Bangkok.(c) Importers in the CommunityDenmark:- K.

DEFINITION OF THE PRODUCT(8) The investigation showed that there is only very limited production and trade of glutamic acid and no exports were made to the Community in the investigation period. Instead, almost all production and trade is of monosodium glutamate, which is a sodium salt in the form of crystals or crystalline powder. As the only monosodium glutamate produced in the Community is in the form of medium and small crystals for industrial use, the investigation was confined to these grades. It is therefore appropriate to terminate the proceeding with regard to imports of glutamic acid and its salts, other than monosodium glutamate.C. DUMPING(9) For imports from the Republic of Korea and Taiwan, the normal value was provisionally established on the basis of the comparable prices actually paid or payable in the ordinary course of trade for the like product intended for consumption in those countries, adjustments being made, where appropriate, for discounts and rebates directly linked to the sales under consideration. Moreover, in order to effect a fair comparison, the sales considered were restricted to those made in bulk or in bags of 25 kg or over, since almost all the exports were made in bags of this size.As regards imports from Indonesia and Thailand, it has been provisionally established that the prices of the sales of the producers and exporters for consumption in those countries were less than their cost of production, as defined in Article 2 (3) (b) (ii) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, and that such sales were made in substantial quantities, at prices which did not permit the recovery of all costs reasonably allocated during the investigation period. The normal values for the producers were therefore based on their own cost of production and selling, administrative and other expenses plus a reasonable profit rate of 6 % which was considered reasonable in the light of the profit rates normally realised in the same business sectors in these countries. Moreover, one exporter in Thailand neither produced nor sold monsodium glutamate on the domestic market in Thailand and the normal value for this exporter was therefore based on the costs of his supplier in accordance with Article 2 (3) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.Export price(10) In each case, the export price was based on the price actually paid or payable for export to the Community of 25 kg bags of the product under consideration, since almost all of the exports were made in bags of this size.D. COMPARISON(11) When comparing the normal value with the export price, due allowance was made for the differences affecting price comparability where the interested party could prove that his claim was justified; adjustments being made for this purpose in respect of transport, insurance, handling, loading and ancillary costs, packing costs, credit and salesmen's salaries.E. DUMPING MARGIN(12) The preliminary investigation of the facts revealed the existence of dumping, the dumping margins being equal to the difference between the normal value and the export price, duly adjusted. For those producers and exporters who cooperated in the investigation the resulting weighted average margins, expressed as a percentage of the price free Community frontier, were as follows:Indonesia- P.T. Sasa, Jakarta: 47,0 %Republic of Korea- Cheil Sugar Co. Ltd, Seoul: 12,1 %- Seoul Miwon Co. Ltd, Seoul: 16,8 %Taiwan- Tung Hai Fermentation Industry:Corporation, Taichung: 42,6 %- Ve Wong Corporation, Taipei: 54,3 %Thailand- Thai Fermentation Industry Co.,Bangkok: 34,3 %- S.C.T. Company, Bangkok: 34,7 % For those exporters who did not make themselves known, or did not cooperate in the investigation, the provisional dumping margin was determined on the basis of the highest dumping margin found in respect of those exporters who did cooperate, the provisional dumping margin being determined separately for each exporting country.F. INJURYVolume and price of imports(13) The volume of imports of monosodium glutamate from the four countries concerned increased from 2 797 tonnes in 1984 to 5 141 tonnes in 1987 and 5 506 tonnes in the first six months of 1988. This represented an increase in the share of these imports of the Community market for monosodium glutamate from 7,1 % in 1984 to 23,1 % in the first half of 1988.(14) The prices of the imports into the Community from the countries concerned increased on average by 2,6 % between 1984 and 1985, though they fell substantially in 1986 and the fall continued up to and during the first six months of 1988. As a result, the average price of these imports in the Community in the first six months of 1988 was 29,1 % lower than the average for 1984, the decrease in the average price of imports from the individual countries concerned ranging from 22,6 % to 36 %.Impact on the Community industry(15) The share of the Community market held by Community producers fell from 91,2 % in 1984 to 74,9 % in the first six months of 1988, a reduction of 16,3 % in the period. This compares with an increase of 16,0 % of the share held by the imports.(16) Although there was an increase in demand for monosodium glutamate in the Community between 1984 and the first six months of 1988, Community producers were compelled to reduce their prices in the period in an attempt to retain market share at a time when the average price of the dumped products decreased substantially when sold on the Community market. Due to this factor, the average price of the Community producers declined by 25,8 % throughout the period to a level which did not cover costs, the price depression being most significant from 1986 onwards.(17) In spite of an increasing demand for monosodium glutamate in the Community, production by Community producers remained fairly stable in the period 1984 to 1987 at annual rates of between 53 000 and 55 000 tonnes. It fell to an annual rate of 42 000 tonnes in the first half of 1988, however, and though the decrease was due mainly to the temporary closure of the works of one of the Community producers, there was also a fall in production at the works of the other producers.(18) The temporary closure of the works of one of the Community producers, referred to in recital 17, was due to the combined effect of loss of market share and depression of prices. This led to the closure of the works in June 1987 and the works were still closed at the end of the investigation period, i.e. 31 March 1988.(19) Whereas the Community industry as a whole was in an overall profitable situation in 1984 and 1985, financial losses were incurred by all Community producers in 1986 and these became more, severe in 1987.Cumulation(20) In order to determine whether or not to cumulate the imports from all the countries concerned by the investigation, account was taken of the comparability of the imported products in terms of physical characteristics, the volumes imported, the level of prices and the degree to which they competed with the product produced in the Community. On this basis it was concluded that cumulation of the imports for injury purposes was justified.Causality and other factors(21) The evidence available shows that the loss of market share experienced by Community producers occurred at the same time as the imports were gaining increased market share. In addition, the price depression suffered by Community producers coincided with the decrease in the prices of the imports.The Commission has also examined whether the injury suffered by the Community producers was due to other factors, such as imports originating in other third countries. In doing so, it took account of the fact that imports from Austria or Switzerland originated in the countries concerned in the investigation and were minimal. It also found that the imports from other third countries had a market share of only 1 % or less from 1984 to the first half of 1988 and no evidence was supplied to show that these imports had been made at dumped prices.Conclusions(22) In view of the circumstances outlined in recitals 12 to 20, the Commission has concluded that the effect of dumped imports originating in the countries concerned by the investigation has caused material injury to Community producers of monosodium glutamate. G. COMMUNITY INTEREST(23) In view of the serious financial losses being encountered by Community producers of monosodium glutamate, failure to adopt measures which would eliminate the injurious effect of the dumped imports would put at risk the industry's survival with the resulting adverse consequences on employment. The Commission has therefore concluded that it is in the Community's interest to prevent further injury being caused during the proceeding and that it is appropriate to impose a provisional anti-dumping duty.In coming to this conclusion, the Commission took account of the fact that the cost of monosodium glutamate has only a minor impact on the cost of the foods in which it is used. The effect of the measure would therefore have no significant effect on the price of the foods to consumers.H. PROVISIONAL DUTY(24) When establishing the appropriate amount of the provisional duty, the Commission took account of the dumping margins provisionally established and the level of duty necessary to eliminate the injury. The injury threshold used for this purpose was based on the costs of the most efficient Community producer plus a reasonable rate of profit which, on a non-confidential basis, is less than 10 %. The appropriate amount of duty was then established by comparing the export prices with the injury threshold, the duty at cif level being equivalent either to the margin of dumping provisionally established or the difference between the injury threshold and the export price, whichever was less.(25) In order to ensure the efficiency of the protective measures and to facilitate the task of customs clearance, the Commission has decided that the provisional duty should be in the form of a specific duty expressed in terms of ecus per kilogramme.I. UNDERTAKINGS(26) Following the disclosure of the Commission's provisional findings to those exporters and producers who cooperated in the investigation, undertakings were offered by them in respect of their direct exports to the Community, the effect of which would be to raise prices by an amount which in no case exceeds the dumping margins provisionally established and is sufficient to eliminate the injurious effects of the dumping. As the Commission considers that it is administratively feasible to monitor the undertakings efficiently, it has concluded that they should be accepted.No objection was raised within the Advisory Committee to the acceptance of the undertakings.J. FINAL RECITAL(27) In the interests of sound administration, a reasonable period should be allowed for those parties who have cooperated in the investigation to make known their views of the Commission's provisional findings contained in this Regulation and to request a hearing,. The price undertakings offered by:- P.T. Sasa, Jakarta,- Cheil Sugar Co. Ltd, Seoul,- Seoul Miwon Co.

This Directive lays down the rules to be observed in issuing the certificates required by veterinary legislation. 1.   For the purposes of this Directive:‘veterinary legislation’ means the legislation listed in Annex A to Directive 89/662/EEC and Annexes A and B to Directive 90/425/EEC;‘certifying officer’ means the official veterinarian or — in the cases provided for in veterinary legislation — any other person authorized by the competent authority to sign the certificates required by that legislation.2.   In addition to the definitions in paragraph 1, the definitions contained in Article 2 of Directives 89/662/EEC and 90/425/EEC shall apply mutatis mutandis. 1.   The authority shall ensure that certifying officers have a satisfactory knowledge of the veterinary legislation as regards the animals or products to be certified and, in general, are informed as to the rules to be followed for drawing up and issuing the certificates and — if necessary — as to the nature and extent of the enquiries, tests or examinations which should be carried out before certification.2.   Certifying officers must not certify data of which they have no personal knowledge or which cannot be ascertained by them.3.   Certifying officers must not sign blank or incomplete certificates, or certificates relating to animals or products which they have not inspected or which have passed out of their control. Where a certificate is signed on the basis of another certificate or attestation, the certifying officer shall be in possession of that document before signing.4.   Nothing in this Article shall prevent an official veterinarian from certifying data which have been:(a) ascertained on the basis of paragraphs 1 to 3 of this Article by another person so authorized by the competent authority and acting under the control of the official veterinarian, provided that he or she can verify the accuracy of the data, or(b) obtained, within the context of monitoring programmes, by reference to officially recognized quality assurance schemes or by means of an epidemiological surveillance systemwhere this is authorized under veterinary legislation.5.   Detailed rules for implementing this Article may be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 7. 1.   The competent authorities shall take all necessary steps to ensure the integrity of certification. In particular they shall ensure that certifying officers designated by them:(a) have a status which ensures their impartiality and have no direct commercial interest in the animals or products being certified or in the holdings or establishments in which they originate;(b) are fully aware of the significance of the contents of each certificate which they sign.2.   Certificates shall be drawn up at least in a language understood by the certifying officer and at least in one of the official languages of the country of destination as provided for in Community legislation.3.   Each competent authority shall be in a position to link certificates with the relevant certifying officer and ensure that a copy of all certificates issued is available for a period to be determined by it. 1.   Member States shall introduce such checks and have such control measures taken as are necessary to prevent the issuing of false or misleading certification and the fraudulent production or use of certificates purported to be issued for the purposes of veterinary legislation.2.   Without prejudice to any legal proceedings or penalties, the competent authorities shall carry out investigations or checks and take appropriate measures to penalize any instances of false or misleading certification which are brought to their attention. Such measures may include the temporary suspension of the certifying officers from their duties until the investigation is over.In particular, if it is found in the course of the checks that:(a) a certifying officer has knowingly issued a fraudulent certificate, the competent authority shall take all necessary steps to ensure, as far as is possible, that the person concerned cannot repeat the offence;(b) an individual or an undertaking has made fraudulent use of or has altered an official certificate, the competent authority shall take all necessary measures to ensure, as far as is possible, that the individual or undertaking cannot repeat the offence. Such measures may include a refusal subsequently to issue an official certificate to the person or undertaking concerned. In the context of the inspections provided for by Community veterinary legislation and the audits to be carried out under the equivalence agreements between the Community and third countries, the Commission shall ensure that the rules and principles applied by third-country certifying officers offer guarantees at least equivalent to those laid down in this Directive.Should it emerge from these inspections and/or audits or from the checks provided for in Directives 90/675/EEC and 91/496/EEC that third-country certifying officers have not complied with these principles, additional guarantees or specific requirements may be decided on in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 7 of this Directive. Where reference is made to the procedure provided for in this Article, the Standing Veterinary Committee set up by Council Decision 68/361/EEC (5) shall act in accordance with the rules laid down in Article 18 of Directive 89/662/EEC.

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 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 (2).(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 (3), Council Directive 94/65/EC (4) and Council Directive 77/99/EEC (5).(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.

This derogation expires on 31 December 2007.(2) Experience shows that this derogation is broadly applied by the operators. The use of the same production line for organic and non-organic feedingstuffs production separated in time requires the application of appropriate cleaning measures to guarantee the integrity of organic feedingstuffs production. Evidence has been provided that such measures, when rigorously applied under strict control, can be effective.(3) Article 18 of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (2) provides for the production of processed organic feed to be separated from production of processed non-organic feed either in time or space.(4) It is therefore appropriate to prolong the derogation until Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 enters into application from 1 January 2009.(5) Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,.

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(2), 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(3), 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(4) 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) With a view to enlargement on 1 May 2004 and to encourage the gradual alignment of prices in the new Member States on the Community level, all remaining refunds for exports to the new Member States should be abolished.(10) The consolidation of the maximum quantities for export within the limits set in the WTO Agreement will be more binding on the accession of the new Member States. In order to ensure the satisfactory management and optimum use of the maximum quantities for export, steps should therefore be taken to reduce or abolish the refunds for certain destinations, in particular those located in or close to the geographical area of the Community where the level of prices for milk products no longer justify the present level of refund rates, despite the collection of import duty in some of those countries.(11) The policy of some non-member countries is to prevent disturbance on the internal market by applying frontier measures. The refunds for certain milk products exported to those destinations should be differentiated in order to reduce the risk of such measures being applied.(12) 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.(13) The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,. The export refunds referred to in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 on products exported in the natural state shall be as set out in the Annex.

For foodstuffs of animal origin, residue levels should reflect the consumption by animals of cereals and products of plant origin treated with pesticides as well as, where relevant, the direct consequences of the use of veterinary medicines.(2) Maximum residue levels for pesticides should be kept under review and the levels may be changed to take account of new information and data. Maximum residue levels (MRLs) should be fixed at the lower limit of analytical determination where authorised uses of plant protection products do not result in detectable levels of pesticide residue in or on the food product, or where there are no authorised uses, or where uses which have been authorised by Member States have not been supported by the necessary data, or where uses in third countries resulting in residues in or on food products which may enter into circulation in the Community market have not been supported with such necessary data.(3) Commission Decisions have been taken not to include active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 on the placing of plant protection products on the marke(7), as last amended by Commission Directive 2000/80/CE(8), for azinphos-ethyl (Commission Decision 95/276/EC(9)), propham (Commission Decision 96/586/EC(10)), dinoterb (Commission Decision 98/269/EC(11)), DNOC (Commission Decision 1999/164/EC(12)), pyrazophos (Commission Decision 2000/233/EC(13)), monolinuron (Commission Decision 2000/234/EC(14)), and chlozolinate (Commission Decision 2000/626/EC(15)) and tecnazene (Commission Decision 2000/725/EC(16)). These Decisions provided that plant protection products containing these active substances shall no longer be authorised for use in the Community. It is therefore necessary to add all of the pesticide residues arising from use of these plant protection products to the Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC to allow for proper surveillance and control of their uses and to protect the consumer. In order to allow legitimate expectations to be fulfilled for existing stocks of pesticides to be used, the Commission non-inclusion Decisions allowed a phasing-out period, and it is appropriate that MRLs premised on the notion that use of the substance concerned is not authorised in the Community should not apply until the end of the phasing-out period applying to that substance.(4) Maximum residue levels have been fixed in relation to azinphos-ethyl for some commodities in Annex II to Directive 76/895/EEC, as amended by Commission Directive 82/528/EEC(17), but Member States were permitted to establish higher MRLs. To establish harmonised maximum levels of pesticide residues for azinphos-ethyl in and on fruit and vegetables at Community level it is necessary to include these MRLs instead in Directive 90/642/EEC. Further, they should be amended following the withdrawal of authorisations at Community level.(5) Community maximum residue levels and the levels recommended by the Codex Alimentarius are fixed and evaluated following similar procedures. There are no Codex maximum residue limits set for azinphos-ethyl, dinoterb, DNOC, monolinuron, propham and chlozolinate. There is a limited number of Codex maximum residue limits for pyrazophos and tecnazene and these have been considered in the setting of the maximum residue levels fixed in this Directive. The Community notified the draft Commission Directive to the World Trade Organisation and the comments received have been considered in finalising the Directive. The possibility of fixing import tolerance maximum residue levels for specific pesticide/crop combinations will be examined by the European Community on the basis of the submission of acceptable data and of acceptable consumer intake assessments(18).(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,.

The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.(9) Import duties and export refunds still apply to certain sugar products traded between the Community, of the one part, and the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia, hereinafter referred to as ""new Member States"", of the other part, and the level of export refunds is appreciably greater than the level of import duties. In view of the accession of these countries to the Community on 1 May 2004, the appreciable gap between the level of import duties and the level of export refunds granted for the products in question may result in speculative trade flows.(10) To prevent any abuse through the re-import or re-introduction into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund or levy should be set for all the new Member States for the products covered by this Regulation.(11) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,.

Procedure(1) In July 1983, the Commission received a request for initiation of a proceeding from the 'Syndicat national français du profilage à froid des produits plats en acier', acting also for the Netherlands 'Stichting Koudprofilers in oprichting', and one Belgian company, whose combined production represents a major proportion of Community output of the products under consideration. This request contained evidence of the existence of dumping and of substantial injury resulting therefrom; this evidence was considered sufficient to justify initiating a proceeding. The Commission accordingly published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3) a notice of initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of certain angles, shapes and sections, of iron or steel, falling within subheading ex 73.11 A III of the Common Customs Tariff, which corresponds to NIMEXE code 73.11-31, originating in the German Democratic Republic, and began an investigation.(2) The Commission officially notified the relevant exporters and importers and invited the parties directly concerned to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.Most of the Community producers and importers communicated their views in writing, without requesting a hearing. Although the Commission re-emphasized the urgency of the proceeding, a written submission and request for a hearing were not received from the exporter until after the time limit laid down in the notice of initiation of the proceeding and after the Commission had concluded its preliminary investigation. It was too late for the Commission to be able to take the information provided into account or to arrange a hearing. No submissions were made by or on behalf of Community purchasers or processors of the goods in question.(3) The Commission procured and verified all the information it deemed necessary for a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following undertakings:EEC producers:in France:- Profilafroid SA, Paris,- Profiles et Tubes de l'Est, Paris;in the Netherlands:Thomas Regout NV, Maastricht;in Belgium:SADEF, Hooglede-Gits;EEC importer (in France):Starval SA, Paris.The Commission requested and received detailed written submissions from the complainant producers in the Community and from importers.B. Normal value(4) In order to establish whether the imports from the German Democratic Republic were dumped, the Commission had to take account of the fact that that country does not have a market economy; the Commission therefore had to base its calculations on the normal value in a market-economy country. The Austrian market was suggested by the complainants for this purpose.The Commission is satisfied that production methods in Austria are similar to those in the exporting country, that like goods sold on the domestic market in Austria are largely manufactured there and that Austrian price control is such as to ensure that prices are in reasonable proportion to production costs.The Commission accordingly established the normal value on the basis of prices for standard cold-formed or cold-finished angles, shapes and sections on the Austrian market, since the Austrian producer's sales are largely conducted in normal trading conditions. Due account was taken of disparities which diminished price comparability; thus freight costs and special discounts granted for purchase of larger quantities were deducted from the Austrian prices.C. Export price(5) As the data provided by the exporter did not arrive in time, the export prices had to be determined on the basis of the information available. The Commission made use of data provided by the importers known to it. It also consulted the relevant external trade statistics of the Statistical Office of the European Communities. The export prices, free-at-frontier of the Community country of destination and calculated on the basis of the above, were then expressed net of estimated transport costs.D. Comparison(6) In comparing normal value with export prices, the Commission took account, where appropriate, of conditions and terms of sale. All comparisons were made at ex-works level.E. Margins(7) The first preliminary examination of the facts showed the existence of dumping by Metallurgiehandel GmbH, Berlin, German Democratic Republic, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeds the price for export to the Community. These margins exceeded 90 %.F. Injury(8) With regard to the injury caused by the dumped imports, the evidence available to the Commission shows that imports into the Community from the German Democratic Republic of cold-formed angles, shapes and sections (excluding inter-German trade) rose from 5 172 tonnes in 1981 to 12 377 tonnes in 1983. The principal destinations of these imports were France and the Benelux countries, where their share of the market increased from 2,7 % in 1981 to 7,6 % in 1983. In the Benelux countries alone, their market share rose in this period from 5,6 to 20,8 %.The weighted average prices of these imports undercut the Community producers' prices for like goods by 40 to 45 % during the investigation period. They were thus far lower than the price levels required to cover the costs of Community producers and provide a reasonable profit.(9) The impact of these dumped imports made it impossible for Community producers to maintain economically viable production of standard cold-formed angles, shapes and sections. This led to a reduction, and even cessation, of production, under-utilization of production capacity, a considerable drop in sales of the goods in question and in their share of the market, and to job losses.(10) The Commission investigated whether injury was caused by other factors such as imports from other countries or a decline in demand, and established that, although consumption within the Community did indeed drop significantly between 1981 and 1983, imports into the Community from other countries decreased at a considerably faster rate during the same period.The substantial increase in dumped imports and the prices at which they are offered for sale in the Community led the Commission to conclude that the effects of dumped imports of cold-formed angles, shapes and sections originating in the German Democratic Republic are to be taken as the direct cause of substantial injury suffered by the Community industry in question.G. Community interest(11) The Commission considered whether it would be in the Community's interest to take protective measures and came to the conclusion that, in veiw of the serious difficulties facing the complainants, action should be taken. In order to prevent further injury being caused during the remainder of the proceeding, this action should take the form of a provisional anti-dumping duty. H. Rate of duty(12) Having regard to the extent of injury caused, the rate of such duty should be less than the dumping margin provisionally established, but adequate to remove the injury caused.(13) Having taken into account the production costs of representative Community producers and in particular the minimum prices introduced on 1 January 1984 for the primary products and the need to ensure that the selling price to the steel dealer who is also importing the dumped goods is sufficient at least to cover costs, the Commission has determined the amount of duty necessary to eliminate the injury to be 110 ECU per 1 000 kilograms.(14) A time limit is to be laid down within which the parties concerned may communicate their views in writing and request a hearing,. 1. A provisional anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of certain angles, shapes and sections, of iron or steel, not further worked than cold-formed or cold-finished from coils for re-rolling, universal plates, hoop, strip, sheets or plates, falling within subheading ex 73.11 A III of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code 73.11-31, originating in the German Democratic Republic.2. The amount of the duty shall be equivalent to 110 ECU per 1 000 kilograms.

To that end, for reasons of trnsparency on the world market, account should be taken of the standard recommended for peas by the Working Party on standardisation of perishable produce and quality development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE).(3) The effect of these standards must be to remove products of unsatisfactory quality from the market, gear production to satisfying consumer requirements and facilitate trade relations on the basis of fair competition, thereby helping to make production more profitable.(4) The standards are applicable at all stages of marketing. Transport over a great distance, storage for a certain length of time or the various handling opeations to which the products are subjected may bring about deterioration due to the biological development of the products or their tendency to perish. Account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standards at the marketing stages which follow dispatch.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fresh fruit and vegetables,. The marketing standards for peas falling within CN code 0708 10 shall be as set out in the Annex.The standard shall apply at all stages of marketing under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.However, at stages following dispatch, the products may show, in relation to the provisions of the standards, a slight lack of freshness and turgitidy, and slight deteriorations due to their development and their tendency to perish.

Procedure (1) On 15 December 1988 and 4 January 1989 the Commission pubished in the Official Journal of the European Communities five notices of initiation of anti-dumping proceedings concerning imports:(a) of ammonium paratungstate falling within CN code 2841 80 00, originating in the People's Republic of China or the Republic of Korea (3);(b) of tungstic oxide and tungstic acid falling within CN code 2825 90 40 originating in the People's Republic of China (4);(c) of tungsten metal powder falling within CN code 8101 10 00 orignating in the People's Republic of China or the Republic of Korea (5);(d) of tungsten carbide and fused tungsten carbide falling within CN code 2849 90 30 originating in the People's Republic of China or the Republic of Korea (6);(e) of tungsten ores and concentrates falling within CN code 2611 00 00 originating in the People's Republic of China and exported from his country or from Hong Kong (7).Investigations were carried out.(2) The Commission terminated the anti-dumping proceedings concerning imports of ammonium paratungstate originating in the People's Republic of China or the Republic of Korea by Commission Decision 90/154/EEC (8) and imports of tungsten metal powder originating in the People's Republic of China or the Republic of Korea by Commission Decision 90/155/EEC (9).(3) However, in the case of the other products in question, it was established that dumping was being practised, that the imports concerned were causing injury to Community industry and that definitive measures were required in the Community's interest.The Council imposed on imports originating in China definitive anti-dumping duties:(a) of 37 % for tungsten ores and concentrates (Council Regulation (EEC) No 2735/90) (10);(b) of 35 % for tungstic oxide and tungstic acid (Council Regulation (EEC) No 2736/90) (11);(c) of 33 % for tungsten carbide and fused tungsten carbide (Council Regulation (EEC) No 2737/90) (12).By Decisions 90/478/EEC (13), 90/479/EEC (14) and 90/480/EEC (15) the Commission accepted price undertakings offered by the two Chinese exporters, China National Non-Ferrous Metals Import and Export Corporation (CNIEC) and China National Metals and Minerals Import and Export Corporation (Minmetals), for the products covered by the above Council Regulations. The Council consequently exempted imports of tungsten ores and concentrates, tungstic oxide and tungstic acid and tungsten carbide and fused tungsten carbide exported by CNIEC and Minmetals from the respective definitive anti-dumping duties.B. Withdrawal of undertakings (4) Following a reminder of the need to submit six-monthly reports on exports to the Community of the products referred to in paragraph A (3) one of the two exporters who had signed the undertakings, CNIEC, stated that it was no longer able to export to the Community at the minimum prices laid down in the undertakings owing to the situation on the world market for tungsten and derivative products and changes which had been introduced in company management in China. It gave 20 days' notice that it would be withdrawing from its undertakings in accordance with the provisions thereof.Shortly afterwards the other exporter, Minmetals, also withdrew from its undertakings following CNIEC's example. The exemption from anti-dumping duties applying to imports of the products in question exported by these two Chinese exporters by virtue of these undertakings is thus no longer justified.The Commission informed the exporters that, in accordance with Article 10 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, it intended, following the withdrawal of their undertakings, to apply provisional anti-dumping duties on the basis of the facts established before the acceptance of the undertakings and invited them to submit their comments.No comments on the imposition of the provisional duties were received during the time limit granted.As regards the reasons put forward by the Chinese exporters for withdrawal of the undertakings, it should be noted that CNIEC and Minmetals had entered into these undertakings not only on their own behalf but also on behalf of their subsidiaries and export agents. If their right of control over their subsidiaries and export agents has indeed changed, provisional duties will have to be swiftly imposed as it will clearly be impossible to monitor their undertakings. This is reason enough to replace undertakings which no longer work by provisional anti-dumping duties on the basis of the same facts as those originally established. This is expressly provided for by Article 10 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. This provision acts as a safety net and is designed to ensure anti-dumping measures are effective. It cannot be transformed into a review procedure. The conditions for initiating such a procedure are laid down in Article 14 of the same Regulation. A detailed written explanation has been given to the Chinese exporters in question of the conditions and procedure for requesting such a review.They have not provided any evidence to show that the original situation where dumping was being practised to the detriment of Community industry has changed. The argument that the prices given in the undertakings are higher than the world market prices quoted in the London Metal Bulletin (LMB) provides no new evidence. In Regulation (EEC) No 761/90 (16), the Commission had already established that the prices quoted in the LMB did not appear to cover production costs in market economy countries. Moreover, the reason for this may lie in the fact that virtually all tungsten ores or ammonium paratungstate are supplied by a non-market economy country, i.e. China.The Commission therefore takes the view that the imposition of provisional duties under the conditions laid down in Article 10 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 should be considered.C. Community interest (5) The withdrawal of an undertaking is a voluntary act by a producer/exporter who thereby assumes the consequences which ensue, i.e. a change in the form of the anti-dumping measures from an undertaking to a duty. In such cases it is in the Community's interest to impose provisional duties to ensure that the imports into the Community by the company in question, which are no longer controlled through an undertaking, do not cause injury to Community industry. The Commission has no reason to believe at this point in time that the imposition of provisional duties on one or the other of the tungsten products in question would not be in the Community interest. The Commission consequently considers that provisional anti-dumping duties should be imposed.D. Provisional duties (6) Accordance with Article 10 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 the provisional anti-dumping duties should be applied on the basis of the facts established before the acceptance of the undertaking. The rates of these duties shall be:(a) 37 % on imports of tungsten ores and concentrates originating in the People's Republic of China;(b) 35 % on imports of tungstic oxide and tungstic acid originating in the People's Republic of China;(c) 33 % on imports of tungsten carbide and fused tungsten carbide originating in the People's Republic of China,. 1. Provisional anti-dumping duties are hereby imposed:(a) on imports of tungsten ores and concentrates falling within CN code 2611 00 00 originating in the People's Republic of China and exported by China National Non-Ferrous Import and Export Corporation (CNIEC) or China National Metals and Minerals Import and Export Corporation (Minmetals) (additional Taric code 8432);(b) on imports of tungstic oxide and tungstic acid falling within CN code 2825 90 40 originating in the People's Republic of China and exported by China National Non-Ferrous Import and Export Corporation (CNIEC) or China National Metals and Minerals Import and Export Corporation (Minmetals) (additional Taric code 8481);(c) on imports of tungsten carbide and fused tungsten carbide falling within CN code 2849 90 30 originating in the People's Republic of China and exported by China National Non-Ferrous Import and Export Corporation (CNIEC) or China National Metals and Minerals Import and Export Corporation (Minmetals) (additional Taric code 8478).2. The rate of duty shall be:(a) 37 % of the net free-at-Community-frontier price, before customs clearance, of tungsten ores and concentrates;(b) 35 % of the net free-at-Community-frontier price, before customs clearance, of tungstic oxide and tungstic acid;(c) 33 % of the net free-at-Community-frontier price, before customs clearance, of tungsten carbide and fused tungsten carbide.The free-at-Community-frontier price shall be net if the actual conditions of payment provide for payment within 30 days of the arrival of the goods on the Community's customs territory. It shall be increased by 1 % for each further month by which the period for payment is extended.3. The release for free circulation in the Community of the goods referred to in paragraph 1 shall be subject to the provision of a security equivalent to the amount of the provisional duty.4. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply. Without prejudice to Article 7 (4) (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the parties concerned may make known their views in writing and apply to be heard by the Commission within one month of the entry into force of this Regulation. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following 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..

The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.(4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.(5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.(6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.(7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.(8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.(9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,. The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.

Ltd/JDK Corporation, and terminating the investigation. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,Whereas:A. Procedure(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85 (2) the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on certain imports of electronic typewriters originating in Japan, including those manufactured by Tokyo Juki Industrial Co Ltd/JDK Corporation (Tokyo Juki).(2) Subsequently it was decided, insofar as Tokyo Juki was concerned, to review Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85 and annul the anti-dumping duty in view of, on the one hand, the completely changed circumstances in that company's particular situation and, on the other hand, the fact that Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85 does not fully state with regard to Tokyo Juki the reasons why anti-dumping measures were taken.(3) The Commission therefore announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3), the initiation of a review proceeding concerning imports into the Community of electronic typewriters originating in Japan, and manufactured by Tokyo Juki, and commenced an investigation. The Council thereupon adopted Regulation (EEC) No 113/86 (4), amending Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85 accordingly.(4) The Commission officially advised the exporter and importer known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country, and the complainants, of the review proceeding and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.(5) The exporter concerned made its views known in writing, requested and was granted a hearing.(6) No submissions were made by Community purchasers of electronic typewriters.(7) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following:EEC producer:- TA Triumph-Adler AG, Nuernberg, Federal Republic of Germany;EEC importers:- Juki (Europe) GmbH, Hamburg, Federal Republic of Germany,- MVB Marketing en Verkoop Van Bedrijfsmachines BV, Rosmalen, The Netherlands.(8) The Commission requested and received written submissions from the Community producers concerned, and some importers, and verified the information therein to the extent considered necessary.(9) The period 1 January to 31 December 1985 has been fixed for the investigation of dumping.B. Dumping margin(10) Tokyo Juki did not submit detailed information on the basis of which the dumping margin could be calculated. Tokyo Juki however agreed to the Commission proceeding with provisional duties on the basis that 'the actual margins of dumping are at least as high as the amount of any duties'.C. Injury(11) Injury to the Community industry, resulting from dumped imports of electronic typewriters originating in Japan, was definitively established in Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85. No fresh evidence, showing that the Community industry is no longer in need of protection, has been submitted. On the contrary, since the change in Tokyo Juki's circumstances, its imports into the Community have increased significantly.(12) With regard more specifically to sales in the Community of electronic typewriters exported by Tokyo Juki, it was found that, during the period of the investigation, such sales followed a similar pattern to sales by the other Japanese exporters that were previously investigated, and against whose dumped exports the Community adopted definitive measures. It was therefore concluded that, in general, the same methodology as described in detail in points 33 to 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85 should be used in order to determine the level of duty to be applied to imports into the Community of electronic typewriters manufactured by Tokyo Juki. A provisional determination revealed a difference between Tokyo Juki's 1985 sales prices in the Community and the target prices of the Community industry for 1985 of 25 %, expressed as a percentage of cif value.D. Community interest(13) Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85 sets out in detail the reasons why it is in the Community's interest to take action in favour of the Community industry against dumped imports of electronic typewriters originating in Japan. No reason could be seen why a different conclusion in the respect should be drawn. The Commission has come to the conclusion that action should be taken.E. Undertaking(14) The exporter concerned was informed of the main findings of the investigation. An undertaking was subsequently offered by Tokyo Juki, concerning its sales of electronic typewriters in the Community, which the Commission is satisfied would remove the effects of any injury caused to the Community industry.In these circumstances the undertaking offered is considered acceptable and the investigation may, therefore, be terminated wihtout imposition of anti-dumping duties.No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee.. The undertaking given by Tokyo Juki Industrial Company Ltd/JDK Corporation in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of electronic typewriters, whether or not incorporating calculating mechanisms, falling within Common Customs Tariff subheadings ex 84.51 A or ex 84.52 B, corresponding to NIMEXE codes 84.51 ex 12, ex 14, ex 19, ex 20 or 84.52 ex 95, originating in Japan, is hereby accepted. The investigation in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding referred to in Article 1 is hereby terminated..

Where, in a Member State, the taking up or pursuit of any activity referred to in Article 1 (2) is dependent on the possession of general, commercial, or professional knowledge and ability, that Member State shall accept as sufficient evidence of such knowledge and ability the fact that the activity in question has been pursued in another Member State for three years either in an independent capacity or in a managerial capacity, on condition that, unless the host Member State allows a longer interruption of professional activity on the part of its own nationals, such activity shall not have ceased more than two years before the date when the application provided for in Article 4 (2) is made. 1. A person shall be regarded as having pursued an activity in a managerial capacity within the meaning of Articles 2 and 3 if he has pursued such activity in an undertaking in the field in question: (a) as manager of an undertaking or manager of a branch of an undertaking ; or(b) as deputy to the proprietor or to the manager of an undertaking, where such post involves responsibility equivalent to that of the proprietor or manager represented ; or(c) in a managerial post with duties of a commercial nature and responsibility for one or more departments of the undertaking.2.

To that end, over the past year the EU has taken measures to assist the population and support the electoral process, as provided for in the schedule of commitments set out in the aforementioned letter.Considerable progress has been made in the implementation of the roadmap, and that progress has been taken into account in the framework of the appropriate measures in force. Given that the roadmap has not been implemented in full, and pending the parliamentary elections and the second round of the presidential elections, scheduled for 3 July 2013, the appropriate measures will continue to apply, without any change in the reciprocal EU-Madagascar commitments and conditions, which remain fully valid until the EU decides that credible elections have taken place and that constitutional order has returned to Madagascar.The EU, which attaches the greatest importance to the essential elements concerning respect for human rights, democratic institutions and the rule of law in accordance with Article 9 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, urges you and all the stakeholders in the roadmap to redouble your efforts with a view to rapidly overcoming the political obstacles currently jeopardising its implementation.The EU also encourages everyone to persevere in your efforts to ensure a peaceful political environment conducive to the holding of credible elections in May and July 2013 and the completion of the transition process agreed by the Malagasy authorities and endorsed by the international community.The EU confirms its continued commitment to assisting the transition process and to rapidly introducing post-transition support measures, the details of which will be decided upon in the political dialogue with your Government.The appropriate measures can be reviewed at any time in the light of developments — positive or negative — in the political situation in Madagascar.Yours sincerely,For the European UnionCatherine ASHTONAndrís PIEBALGS +",Madagascar;Malagasy Republic;Republic of Madagascar;political crisis;democratisation;democratization;change of political system;presidential election;Cotonou Agreement,9 +9682,"Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3652/91 of 13 December 1991 re-establishing the levying of customs duties on products falling within CN codes 4011 and 4013, originating in Brazil, to which the preferential tariff arrangements set out in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 apply. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,Whereas, pursuant to Articles 1 and 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90, suspension of customs duties shall be accorded to each of the countries or territories listed in Annex III other than those listed in column 4 of Annex I within the framework of the preferential tariff ceilings fixed in column 6 of Annex I;Whereas, as provided for in Article 7 of that Regulation, as soon as the individual ceilings in question are reached at Community level, the levying of customs duties on imports of the products in question originating in each of the countries and territories concerned may at any time be re-established;Whereas, in the case of products falling within CN codes 4011 and 4013, originating in Brazil, the individual ceiling was fixed at ECU 4 079 000; whereas, on 25 September 1991, imports of these products into the Community originating in Brazil reached the ceiling in question after being charged thereagainst; whereas, it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties in respect of the products in question against Brazil,.

The aid complies with the provisions of Article 7 (1) of the Decision;Whereas, pursuant to Article 7 (5) of the Decision, the Federal Government must notify the Commission at least once a year, in respect of each project in the programme which it has decided to carry out, of the aims pursued, the sums invested and the amounts of the aid;Whereas the sum of DM 60 000 000 to promote innovation is intended to ensure that research results are applied to production as quickly as possible; whereas the aid is lower than the costs borne by the undertakings and is granted in respect of individual projects which, when completed, are likely to prove their economic worth to coal-mining in the medium term; whereas the purpose and amount of this aid show that it is compatible with the third subparagraph of Article 7 (3) of the Decision;Whereas the aid of DM 200 000 000 towards the payment of the coal-winning premium helps the coal industry to secure a stable, skilled workforce, which is imperative if its productivity is to increase; whereas the undertakings moreover incur expenditure on the necessary recruitment, training, retraining and retention of workers which is several times the amount of aid in the form of this premium;Whereas the purpose and amount of the coal-winning premium show that this measure is compatible with Article 8 of the Decision;Whereas the aid of 139 500 000 for the entertainment of long-term security stocks is a measure by the Federal Government to increase the long-term security of energy supply; whereas to this end, the emergency association of German mining industries has purchased 10 million tonnes of coal and coke; whereas the aid proposed by the Federal Government for this purpose covers only part of the actual current cost of maintaining these stocks;Whereas the purpose and amount of the aid that this measure is compatible with Article 10 of the Decision;IIWhereas, in accordance with Article 3 (2) of the Decision, an examination of the compatibility of the abovementioned aids with the proper functioning of the common market must also extend to all other financial measures to support current production in 1984;Whereas on this basis the total cost of the proposed amounts to 1 047 100 000 ECU, i.e. 12,33 ECU per tonne produced; whereas, compared with other Member States, current production in Germany is less subsidized (per tonne) than in the United Kingdom and substantially less than in France and Belgium;Whereas the following remarks can be made on the compatibility of these aids for current production with the proper functioning of the common market:- owing to the stocks of coal and coke on hand there were no supply difficulties in 1984,- the level of exports of German coal to the other Member States fell slightly in 1984 compared with 1983,- price alignment agreements were hardly entered into in 1984,- industrial consumers of coal did not receive indirect aid in 1984 as a result of the prices of German coking coal and steam coal,- rationalization of production in 1984 was achieved by investment;Whereas it may therefore be concluded that the German aids for current production in the coal industry in 1984 are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market;Whereas this applies even when account is taken of aids to the coal mines under Decision 73/287/ECSC (1);IIIWhereas, pursuant to Article 14 (1) of the Decision, the Commission must ensure that the aids authorized are used for the purposes set out in Articles 7 to 12 thereof; whereas the Commission must be informed, in particular, of the amount of the aids of the manner in which they were apportioned,. The Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized in respect of the 1984 calendar year to grant the following aids to the coal-mining industry:1. Grant of investment aid not exceeding DM 190 000 000 undertakings in the coal industry in order to increase investment.2. Promotion of development and innovation not exceeding DM 60 000 000.3. Payment of premiums to shift-paid workers and piece workers for each shift worked underground, not exceeding DM 200 000 000.4.

For pyridalyl the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2007/669/EC (3).(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC Austria received on 9 October 2006 an application from Sumitomo Chemical Agro Europe S.A.S. for the inclusion of the active substance pyridalyl in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2007/669/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 8 January 2009.(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance pyridalyl (4) on 24 May 2013. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 13 December 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for pyridalyl.(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing pyridalyl may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the use which was examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve pyridalyl.(6) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.(8) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing pyridalyl. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.(9) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.(10) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (6) should be amended accordingly.(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Approval of active substanceThe active substance pyridalyl, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. Re-evaluation of plant protection products1.   Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing pyridalyl as an active substance by 31 December 2014.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in Part B of the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing pyridalyl as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 30 June 2014 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account Part B of the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing pyridalyl as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing pyridalyl as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 December 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest.

A Community medium-term credit guarantee scheme, hereinafter referred to as the 'guarantee', is hereby instituted to enable the Soviet Union to import agricultural and food products from the Community on the terms and conditions set out in this Regulation. The guarantee, provided subject to payment of a surety commission, shall cover, in the event of default, 98 % of the repayment of the principal and interest on loans in ecus granted to the Soviet Union by a pool of commercial banks established in the Community for the purchase and importation of agricultural and food products, in accordance with an agreement to be concluded between the Community and the Soviet Union and negotiated by the Commission in consultation with a committee composed of representatives of the Member States.This agreement shall contain, inter alia, a list of the products to be purchased and the quantities of such products, the terms of purchase and importation, and provisions governing the said loans. This agreement shall also mention guarantees on the part of the Soviet Union regarding the effective nature of the distribution of the products purchased. To this end, an independent control body shall be responsible for supervising the distribution of these products. The total credit for which the repayments are covered by the guarantee may not exceed ECU 500 million with a maximum maturity of three years and reimbursement in six equal six-monthly instalments as from expiry of the drawing period. The credit shall be backed by the payment and transfer guarantee of a body empowered to cover sovereign risk and to authorize foreign currency transfers. The period for drawing upon the credit shall be limited to six months as from the date of signing of the agreement provided for in Article 2. This loan may be drawn upon in tranches. Payment of these tranches shall depend upon the degree to which the Soviet Union complies with the provisions of the agreement referred to in Article 2 and with the conditions laid down for extending the guarantee. The guarantee shall be extended only where the trade contracts financed with the credit backed by the guarantee are intended solely to cover the purchase of agricultural and food products originating in the Community and where there is free competition to supply these products. The other conditions under which the guarantee will be extended to the pool of commercial banks shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 6. In compliance with the conditions thus laid down, the Commission shall conclude the guarantee with the pool of commercial banks.

Article 8(2) specifies that in the absence of total recovery the financial losses consequent on irregularities or negligence are to be met by the Community unless the irregularities or negligence are attributable to administrative authorities or other bodies of the Member States.(2) Articles 3 and 5(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 595/91 require Member States to notify the Commission of irregularities discovered, proceedings instituted and amounts recovered.(3) Article 5(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 8(1) and (2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1663/95 of 7 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 regarding the procedure for clearance of the accounts of the EAGGF Guarantee Section(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2025/2001(5), provide that the Commission is to make the necessary verifications, inform the Member State of its findings, consider the Member State's observations, initiate bilateral discussions in the aim of reaching agreement with it and formally communicate its conclusions to the Member State, referring to Commission Decision 94/442/EC of 1 July 1994 setting up a conciliation procedure in the context of clearance of the accounts of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) Guarantee Section(6), last amended by Decision (EC) No 2001/535/EC(7).(4) The verifications made and the bilateral discussions have shown that in certain cases Member States have not taken all the necessary steps to protect the Community's financial interests and that this failure has meant that unduly paid amounts have not been recovered. It must be taken into account in this connection that in the Court of Justice's view(8) four years is to be considered a reasonable period of time within which Member States ought to start proceedings to recover sums unduly paid from the EAGGF in the context of irregularities committed by operators.(5) The financial impact arising from the impossibility of recovery in such cases should therefore not be borne by the EAGGF Guarantee Section.(6) In cases where the impossibility of recovery cannot be ascribed to the Member State's negligence the financial impact accordingly is to be borne by the EAGGF Guarantee Section.(7) The Commission has informed the Member States in a summary report of the amounts to be excluded under this Decision for non-conformity with Community rules.(8) This Decision is without prejudice to the financial implications the Commission may attach to judgments of the Court of Justice in the cases before it at 31 May 2002 relating to the matters to which this Decision relates,.

The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,.

the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),Whereas the administration of large doses of colza oil to experimental animals has been shown to produce undesirable effects, but whereas it has not been demonstrated that such effects can occur in man;Whereas such effects appear to be principally due to erucic acid, one of the components of this oil;Whereas other edible oils and fats contain erucic acid;Whereas further research is at present in progress on rape seed oil and other oils and fats, but as a precaution the ingestion of erucic acid should be restricted until these results are known;Whereas to attain this objective a maximum level should be set for the erucic content of oils and fats, and foodstuffs to which they have been added;Whereas, however, it is possible, at no risk to human health, to exclude foodstuffs with low total fat content from the scope of this Directive;Whereas for this purpose a maximum level should be adopted, to be applicable not later than 1 July 1979, which in the absence of precise and definitive scientific information on the matter and taking account of the qualitative development of colza seed production in the Community, will ensure the protection of human health;Whereas, in any event, the level of erucic acid must not be greater than 10 % as from 1 July 1977;Whereas certain Member States have already fixed maximum levels for erucic acid in relation to the types of products involved and dietary patterns according to requirements warranted by public health protection;Whereas the methods of sampling and analysis necessary for determining the level of erucic acid in the products considered are implementing measures of a technical nature ; whereas their adoption should be entrusted to the Commission in order to simplify and expedite the procedure;Whereas in all cases in which the Council confers on the Commission authority to implement rules relating to foodstuffs, a procedure should be laid down establishing close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee (1)OJ No

Consequently, Italy has taken the view that this standard did not satisfy the essential health and safety requirements of the Directive and that its references should be withdrawn from publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities in order to no longer give a presumption of conformity with the Directive.(7) Technical Committee CEN/TC 144 examined this problem and started work on revising this standard. In view of the significant difficulties it encountered in this revision, it has concluded that it will be several years before the revised standard can be ratified.(8) Given the anticipated delay, it is proposed that the references of this standard be withdrawn immediately in order to avoid it being used as a harmonised standard in the future,. The references of standard EN 703 ""Agricultural machinery - Silage cutters - Safety"" are withdrawn from publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. Consequently, the use of this standard no longer gives a presumption of conformity with the essential health and safety requirements of Directive 98/37/EC, as amended.

Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).(2) Patent Blue V was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for certain feed materials on all animals and in feedingstuffs intended for cats and dogs by Commission Directive 74/181/EEC (3), and in feedingstuffs intended for use in grain eating ornamental birds and small rodents by Commission Regulation (EC) No 358/2005 (4). That product was subsequently entered in the European Union Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of Patent Blue V, as a feed additive for dogs, cats and other non-food producing animals, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 31 January 2013 (5) that, under the proposed conditions of use in feed, Patent Blue V does not have an adverse effect on animal health, and it is not expected to pose additional risk for the environment. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. The Authority also concluded that no safety concerns would arise for users provided that appropriate protective measures are taken. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(5) The assessment of Patent Blue V shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that substance should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.(6) As a consequence of the granting of a new authorisation under Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, Regulation (EC) No 358/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.(7) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for the disposal of existing stocks of the additive, pre-mixtures and compound feed containing it, as authorised by Directive 74/181/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 358/2005.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. The substance specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and to the functional group ‘colorants, substances that add or restore colour in feedingstuffs’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. In Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 358/2005 the entry of the row E 131 is deleted. The substance specified in the Annex and feed containing that substance, which are produced and labelled before 25 July 2015 in accordance with the rules applicable before 25 July 2013, may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted. This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,.

whereas, consequently the crop declarations and aid applications to be presented by applicants must include a minimum amount of information necessary for the carrying out of these checks ;Whereas the checks referred to in Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 must embrace a sufficiently representative number of crop declarations by olive growers who are members of organizations; whereas under Article 5 (2) the organizations can require any supporting documents necessary to establish the amount of their member's production; whereas the nature of such supporting documents should be defined in order to facilitate uniform application of this system ;Whereas the aid to be granted to growers who are not members of a producer organization must be calculated from the standard olive and oil yields of olive trees; whereas the use of standard yields is also necessary for determination of the aid to be given to growers who are members of an organization in cases where they sell their olives to a purchaser other than an approved mill owner ;Whereas, in the interests of good administration provision should be made for informing the Member States at the end of each marketing year of the number of olive growers whose production is still to be verified by the producer organizations;Whereas Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 requires producer organizations to check the stock records and activity of the approved mills indicated to them by the Member States; whereas, in order for the checks to be properly carried out, it should be laid down that the organizations must have access to the mills and to their stock records;Whereas, in order to ensure that approved mills collaborate more closely with the running of the aid system, provision should be made for participation by their professional associations in the checks carried out by producer organizations on the mills' premises;Whereas, in order to ensure that the aid system runs smoothly, the checks referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 and to be carried out in the approved mills by the producer organizations should be defined ;Whereas to ensure that the aid system functions properly the minimum information to be given in the stock records of each approved mill and the checks to be made with regard to these records by the Member State concerned should be specified ;Whereas rules for determining the amount of aid to be granted to members of producer organizations who have had their olives pressed in an approved mill which has not complied with the obligations on stock records should be determined ;Whereas the checks specified in Article 8 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 must cover a percentage which provides adequate guarantees that the system will run properly, due account being taken of control possibilities in the Member State concerned;Whereas it is specified in Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 that the producer Member States are to carry out, for each producer organization, random checks on the accuracy of the crop declarations and applications for aid of their members; whereas these checks must cover a sufficiently representative number of growers due account being taken of the control guarantees given by the organization ;Whereas doubts may arise as to the quantity of oil eligible for aid because of a discrepancy between the quantity for which aid is demanded and that recorded in the stock records of the approved mill; whereas principles of good management dictate that the aid should be paid for the smaller quantity ;Whereas in order to ensure that the aid system is correctly applied to growers who are not members of an organization it is necessary that the yields to be used be determined for production zones with given characteristics ;Whereas to facilitate the fixing of yields it is advisable that Commission officials take part in the preparatory work ;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,. 1. The crop declarations referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 shall be submitted by 30 June 1982 at the latest.Producer organizations may, however, submit the crop declaration at the latest when they present the aid application.2. Each crop declaration shall include :(a) if it is submitted by the olive grower, his name, forename and address;(b) if it is submitted by a producer organization, the name and address of the organization and the names, forenames and addresses of each of its members ;(c) the location of the holding or holdings;(d) the cadastral reference of the holding or holdings;(e) for each holding:- the number of plots and if possible the area of each under olives,- the total number of bearing trees whose olives are used for oil production.Declarations submitted by growers who are not members of an organization must also include :- where the olives are pressed on behalf of the declarant, the address of the mills and the date of pressing,- where the olives are sold, the name and address of the purchaser and a copy of the sale invoice or of any equivalent document must be attached.3. Producer Member States may decide that crop declarations submitted during previous marketing years are valid for the 1981/82 marketing year provided that:- the holdings concerned have not undergone changes such as to affect their olive and oil production potential,- the declarations include all the information specified in paragraph 2. The checks referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 shall cover at least 10 % of crop declarations of producer organizations members. 1. The application for aid to be submitted by each producer organization shall contain at least the following information :(a) the name and address of the organization ;(b) the name, forename and address of each of the members who have completed their production of oil;(c) the quantity of oil produced by each member, with an explicit statement that the product is virgin olive oil;(d) the location of the holdings where the olives were harvested, with reference to the crop declaration ;(e) the approved mill or mills in which the oil was produced, indicating in each case the quantity of olives used and the quantity of oil produced.2.

Where olive growers who are members of a producer organization have sold some or all of their olives before harvesting or to a purchaser other than those provided for in Article 3 (2) (c), the quantity of virgin olive oil eligible for aid shall be determined by applying to the number of olive trees referred to in the second indent of Article 1 (2) (e) the yields of olives and oil fixed for the production area concerned pursuant to Article 12.2. In the case of olive growers who are not members of an organization, the quantity of virgin olive oil eligible for aid shall be determined by applying to the number of olive trees referred to in the second indent of Article 1 (2) (e) the yields of olives and oil fixed for the production area concerned pursuant to Article 12.3. The quantity of olive-residue oil eligible for aid shall be equal to 8 % of the quantity of virgin olive oil produced from the olives from which the residue is obtained and in respect of which entitlement to the aid has been established in accordance with the preceding paragraphs. The supporting documents to be supplied pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 shall include :(a) documents concerning special cultivation operations carried out on the olive grove ;(b) proof of the labour force employed in the olive grove or of use of mechanical or other means for the olive harvest;(c) purchase invoice for fertilizer and plant health products employed, or proof that such operations have been carried out.

During the milling period, the producer organizations shall check, in approved mills indicated to them by the Member States :- that stock records are kept as required by Article 8,- the milling capacity,- the yields of oil from the olives pressedand shall further verify on the basis of the stock records :- that the quantities stated to have been pressed in a given period tally with the mill's pressing capacity ;- the oil yields obtained by growers who had their olives pressed during the period prior to the checks.For this purpose the producer organizations shall have access to the approved mills and to their stock records.2. If the mills are members or a professional association, representatives of that association shall, at their request, take part in the checks carried out by the producer organizations.3. Where producer organizations :- do not have access to approved mills or their stock records, or- find, during the checks and verifications referred to in paragraph 1 :(a) irregularities in the stock records, or(b) significant discrepancies between the approved mill's pressing capacity and the quantities of olives pressed, or between the oil yields recorded during inspection visits to the mill and the yields shown in the stock records,they shall inform the Member State concerned accordingly without delay. Without prejudice to other criteria to be fixed by the producer Member State pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81, in order to be approved mills must keep daily stock records which show the following at least:(a) the quantities of olives received, consignment by consignment giving the producer of each consignment ;(b) the quantities of olives pressed ;(c) the quantities of oil obtained ;(d) the quantities of oil leaving the mill, consignment by consignment, indicating the consignee;(e) the quantities of olive residue leaving the mill, consignment by consignment, indicating the consignee.If the oil and olive residue obtained is sold, the invoice for the sale of each consignment must be submitted by the miller at the request of the authorities who control the stock records. 1. The producer Member States shall check, in the cases referred to in Article 7 (3), the activities and stock records of the approved mills concerned.2. In respect of mills which are not subject to checks by producer organizations, the Member States shall verify by means of random checks ;- that the stock records are kept in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 ;- that the quantities referred to in Article 8 (c) shown in the stock records for a given period correspond to the quantities of oil which can be obtained during that period by the mill in question, taking account of the actual degree of use of the mill's pressing capacity.3. Where the verifications referred to in the above paragraphs reveal irregularities the Member States shall, without prejudice to other penalties applicable :- withdraw approval of the mill in question,- to the extent that they cannot verify the actual production of olive growers who have had their olives pressed in the mill in question, determine the quantity of oil qualifying for aid from the information given in the grower's crop declarations and from the olive and oil yields for the production zone concerned.4. With regard to the files sent to the Member States pursuant to Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81, the Member States in question shall determine the quantity of olive oil qualifying for aid from the information given in the growers' crop declarations and from the olive and oil yields for the production zone concerned. 0The checks to be carried out by the producer Member States pursuant to Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 shall cover at least 5 % of growers who are not members of organizations. 1The Member State shall check by random sampling that the quantities of olives and of oil shown in the application for aid submitted by a producer organization and the quantities shown in the stock records of the approved mill which pressed the olives agree. If they do not agree the Member State concerned shall determine the quantity of oil eligible for aid on the basis of the smallest quantity indicated by the check. 2The yields of olives and of oil shall be fixed in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.To this end, the producer Member States shall supply the Commission with data established for homogeneous production areas taking into account in particular :- the geography and the geology of the region concerned,- the main varieties of olive tree, their age, and the most frequent type of shape pruning.Agents of the Commission shall participate in the establishment of these data.For each production area, such data shall include :(a) the geographical extent of the area ;(b) an estimate of the olive growing area ;(c) an estimate of the average number of olive trees per hectare under specialized cultivation ;(d) the average quantity of olives produced per tree ;(e) the average quantity of oil produced per 100 kilograms of olives. 3The advance payment referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 2990/81 shall be granted only to olive growers who are members of a producer organization and who receive aid for the actual quantity produced. 4This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 November 1981.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

For tembotrione the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2006/586/EC (3).(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, Austria received on 25 November 2005 an application from Bayer CropScience AG for the inclusion of the active substance tembotrione in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2006/586/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 7 February 2007. In accordance with Article 11(6) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 188/2011 (4) additional information was requested from the applicant on 14 May 2012. The evaluation of the additional data by Austria was submitted in the format of an updated draft assessment report in September 2012.(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance tembotrione (5) on 6 March 2013. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 3 October 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for tembotrione.(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing tembotrione may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve tembotrione.(6) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.(7) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing tembotrione. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.(8) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (6) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.(9) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (7) should be amended accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Approval of active substanceThe active substance tembotrione, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. Re-evaluation of plant protection products1.   Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing tembotrione as an active substance by 31 October 2014.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing tembotrione as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 30 April 2014 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing tembotrione as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 October 2015 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing tembotrione as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 October 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest.

Commission Decision 2007/560/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.(2) For that active substance, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 26 July 2007.(3) The assessment report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission in the format of the EFSA Scientific Report for heptamaloxyloglucan on 17 July 2009 (3). This report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 27 November 2009 in the format of the Commission review report for heptamaloxyloglucan.(4) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing heptamaloxyloglucan may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include heptamaloxyloglucan in Annex I to that Directive, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance may be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.(5) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing provisional authorisations of plant protection products containing heptamaloxyloglucan to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should transform existing provisional authorisations into full authorisations, amend them or withdraw them in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.(6) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 November 2010 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 December 2010.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication.

That price should be fixed for the standard qualities defined in Annex I, point I and II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.(2) When the representative prices are being fixed, the Commission must take account of all available information on offers on the world market, on quotations on the exchanges which are important for world trade in sugar, on prices recorded on important third-country markets, and on sales concluded in international trade of which it has knowledge either directly or through the agency of the Member States. However, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 784/68, the Commission must disregard information if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in an offer relates to a small quantity which is not representative of the market.

Paragraph 3.056 is replaced by the following:‘3.056. The method of valuation of output at basic prices requires a fundamental distinction between subsidies on products and other subsidies on production. Subsidies on agricultural products (1) can be paid either to agricultural producers or to other economic operators. Only subsidies on products which are paid to agricultural producers are added to the market price received by producers to obtain the basic price. Subsidies on agricultural products paid to economic operators other than agricultural producers are not entered in the EAA.’2. Paragraph 3.064 is replaced by the following:‘3.064. In the case of agriculture, the most important types of other subsidy linked to production are:— wage and payroll subsidies,— grants for interest relief (cf. ESA 95, 4.37(c)) made to resident producer units, even when they are intended to encourage capital formation (2). In effect, these are current transfers designed to reduce producers' operating costs. They are treated in the accounts as subsidies to the producers benefiting from them, even when the difference in the interest is, in practice, paid directly by the government to the credit institution making the loan (by way of derogation from the payment criterion),— over-compensation of VAT resulting from the application of the flat-rate systems (cf. 3.041 and 3.042),— the assumption of social security contributions and real-estate taxes,— the assumption of other costs such as private storage aid for wine and grape must and the re-storage of table wines (in so far as the stocks are owned by an agricultural unit),— various other subsidies on production:— grants for land set-aside (compulsory set-aside linked to acreage-based grants and voluntary set-aside),— financial compensation for withdrawals of fresh market fruit and vegetables. These payments are often made to groups of market producers, and should be treated as subsidies to agriculture, since they are direct compensation for loss of production,— cattle premiums for seasonal adjustment (deseasonalisation) and extensification,— grants for agricultural production in less-favoured and/or mountainous areas,— other grants intended to influence methods of production (extensification, techniques designed to reduce pollution, etc.),— amounts paid to holders as compensation for recurrent losses of goods in inventories such as crop or livestock products which are considered to be work in progress and plantations in so far as they are still in their growth period (see 2.040 to 2.045). By contrast, compensatory transfers for losses of goods in inventories and/or plantations used as factors of production are recorded as other capital transfers in the capital account.’ +",statistical method;statistical harmonisation;statistical methodology;economic accounts for agriculture;agricultural statistics;EU statistics;Community statistics;European Union statistics;statistics of the EU;statistics of the European Union,10 +20723,"2001/229/EC: Council Decision of 12 March 2001 authorising the Netherlands, in accordance with Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC, to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty to low-sulphur diesel. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Union,Having regard to Council Directive 92/81/EEC on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on mineral oils and in particular Article 8(4) thereof(1),Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas:(1) Pursuant to Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorise any Member State to introduce further exemptions or reductions for specific policy considerations.(2) The Netherlands has asked to be authorised to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty to low-sulphur diesel (50 ppm) from 1 January 2001. The differential, not exceeding NLG 0,085 per litre, is available to all users of this type of fuel.(3) This low-sulphur diesel fuel complies with the 50 ppm environmental criterion laid down for this fuel in Annex IV to Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels(2). Under Article 4(1)(c) of the Directive, its use will in any case be compulsory from 1 January 2005.(4) The above information has been communicated to the other Member States.(5) The measure as envisaged by the Netherlands authorities will be degressive in line with the increasing availability of this type of fuel as a percentage of all diesel put on the market in the Netherlands. It complies with the minimum rate of excise duty referred to in Article 5 of Council Directive 92/82/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the approximation of the rates of excise duties on mineral oils(3).(6) The derogation is sought on environmental grounds: the benefits in terms of air quality are known.(7) On the information available at present neither the Commission nor the Member States consider that the application of a differentiated rate of excise duty on low-sulphur diesel will cause distortions of competition affecting the common interest or hinder the operation of the single market. They are satisfied that adequate supplies of the fuel, of a satisfactory quality, are available in the Netherlands.(8) This Decision is without prejudice to the outcome of any future State aid proceedings that may be undertaken in accordance with Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty, nor does it override the requirement for Member States to notify instances of potential State aid to the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty.(9) The Commission regularly reviews reductions and exemptions to check that they do not distort competition or the operation of the internal market and that they are not incompatible with Community policy on protection of the environment.(10) The Council will review this Decision on the basis of a proposal from the Commission no later than 31 December 2004 when the authorisation granted by this Decision expires,. 1. In accordance with Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC, the Netherlands is authorised to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty on low-sulphur diesel fuel (50 ppm) from 1 January 2001.2. The degressive differentiated rate, not exceeding NLG 0,085 per litre, must comply with the terms of Directive 92/82/EEC and in particular the minimum rates laid down in Article 5 thereof.3. The differentiated rate must be accorded to all users of low-sulphur 50 ppm diesel without discrimination. Without prejudice to an early review by the Council on the basis of a proposal from the Commission, this authorisation expires on 31 December 2004. This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2001.

The criteria determining the eligibility of collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem monetary policy operations are laid down in Annex I to Guideline ECB/2000/7 of 31 August 2000 on monetary policy instruments and procedures of the Eurosystem (1) (hereinafter referred to as the ‘General Documentation’).(2) Pursuant to Section 1.6 of the General Documentation, the Governing Council of the ECB may, at any time, change the instruments, conditions, criteria and procedures for the execution of Eurosystem monetary policy operations. Pursuant to Section 6.3.1 of the General Documentation, the Eurosystem reserves the right to determine whether an issue, issuer, debtor or guarantor fulfils its requirements for high credit standards on the basis of any information it may consider relevant.(3) The exceptional circumstances prevailing in the financial market, in conjunction with the fiscal position of the Portuguese Government, have disrupted the assessment by the market of securities issued by the Portuguese Government, with negative effects on the stability of the financial system. This exceptional situation requires a swift and temporary adaptation of the Eurosystem monetary policy framework.(4) The Governing Council has assessed the fact that the Portuguese Government has approved and is in the process of implementing an economic and financial adjustment programme, which it has negotiated with the European Commission, the ECB and the International Monetary Fund, and which the Portuguese Government has committed to fully implement. The Governing Council has also assessed, from a Eurosystem credit risk management perspective, the effects of such a programme on the securities issued by the Portuguese Government. The Governing Council considers the programme to be appropriate, so that, from a credit risk management perspective, the marketable debt instruments issued by the Portuguese Government or guaranteed by the Portuguese Government retain a quality standard sufficient for their continued eligibility as collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy operations, irrespective of any external credit assessment. These positive assessments provide the basis for an exceptional and temporary adaptation of the Eurosystem monetary policy framework, put in place with a view to contributing to the soundness of financial institutions, thereby strengthening the stability of the financial system as a whole and protecting the customers of those institutions.(5) The Governing Council will closely monitor the continued strong commitment of the Portuguese Government to fully implement the economic and financial adjustment programme underlying this exceptional and temporary adaptation of the Eurosystem monetary policy framework.(6) This exceptional adaptation of the Eurosystem monetary policy framework was decided and publicly announced by the Governing Council on 7 July 2011. It will apply temporarily, until the Governing Council considers that the stability of the financial system allows the normal application of the Eurosystem framework for monetary policy operations,. Suspension of certain provisions of the General Documentation1.   The Eurosystem’s minimum requirements for credit quality thresholds, as specified in the Eurosystem credit assessment framework rules for marketable assets in Section 6.3.2 of the General Documentation, shall be suspended in accordance with Articles 2 and 3.2.   In the event of any discrepancy between this Decision and the General Documentation, the former shall prevail. Continued eligibility as collateral of marketable debt instruments issued by the Portuguese GovernmentThe Eurosystem’s credit quality threshold shall not apply to marketable debt instruments issued by the Portuguese Government. Such assets shall constitute eligible collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem monetary policy operations, irrespective of their external credit rating. Continued eligibility as collateral of marketable debt instruments guaranteed by the Portuguese GovernmentThe Eurosystem’s credit quality threshold shall not apply to marketable debt instruments issued by entities established in Portugal and fully guaranteed by the Portuguese Government. A guarantee provided by the Portuguese Government shall continue to be subject to the requirements contained in Section 6.3.2 of the General Documentation. Such assets shall constitute eligible collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem monetary policy operations, irrespective of their external credit rating.

The closing date referred to in paragraph 1 above may not be later than the date for the submission of applications for compensatory payments referred to in Article 2 (1) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92. Where Article 1 applies, the payment of the advance provided for in Article 11 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 shall be subject to a written declaration by the producer including at least a statement of:(a) the total area sown to winter rape for which they apply for an advance payment;(b) their irrevocable commitment to:- submit an application for the compensatory payment in due time in accordance with the detailed rules laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92,- meet their obligation to set aside land and all the requirements laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2294/92,- forego the option of the simplified scheme open to small producers,- not resow as a main crop the corresponding areas for that marketing year, except for agronomical or climatic reasons duly recognized by the competent authority of the Member State. In the latter case, the producer must resow an oil seed. Where Article 2 applies, the Member States shall be authorized to pay producers meeting the requirements laid down an advance equal to 50 % of the projected regional reference amount, calculated on the basis of figures forwarded to the Commission with their regionalization plans as they stand at the date referred to in Article 1 (1). 1.

There is a risk for public health with regard to the imports of bivalve molluscs from or originating in Peru, and it is thus appropriate to suspend them with immediate effect, with the exception of the Pectinidae products, under certain conditions.(3) Considering the seriousness of the shortcomings identified during the inspection, the provisions of this Decision must be also applied to the products which have been dispatched to the Community before the entry into force of this Decision and presented for importation into the Community after its entry into force.Furthermore, Pectinidae harvested form certain aquaculture areas and eviscerated and, the adductor muscles of non-aquaculture Pectinidae completely separated from the viscera and gonads, dispatched to the Community before the entry into force of this Decision and presented for importation into the Community after its entry into force, should be checked in order to demonstrate the absence of marine biotoxins.(4) This Decision will be reviewed in the light of the guarantees offered by the Peruvian authorities and on the basis of the results of a further Community inspection on the spot.(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,. This Decision shall apply to bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods coming from or originating in Peru. 1. Member States shall prohibit the introduction on their territory of products referred to in Article 1.2. By derogation to the above prohibition, Member States shall accept the following products:(a) Pectinidae harvested in the aquaculture areas of Pucusana (001) and Guaynuna (002), provided that they are eviscerated;(b) adductor muscles of Pectinidae, provided that the viscera and the gonads have been completely removed. 1.

Consignments of products referred to in Article 2(2), dispatched to the Community prior to the entry into force of this Decision and which are presented at the Community border inspection post for importation after its entry into force shall be checked in order to ensure that the products concerned do not present a hazard to human health.

This provision applies to France and Greece for the 2001/02 marketing year.(9) In accordance with Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, the initial allocation is adapted in view of real expenditure and on the basis of revised expenditure forecasts submitted by the Member States taking account of the objective of the scheme and subject to the funds available,.

That list included 2-naphthyloxyacetic acid.(3) In accordance with Article 24f of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 and Article 25(1)(a) and (2)(b) of that Regulation, Commission Decision 2009/65/EC of 26 January 2009 concerning the non-inclusion of 2-Naphthyloxyacetic acid in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance (6) was adopted.(4) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.(5) The application was submitted to Italy, replacing France which had originally been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2009/65/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.(6) Italy evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 21 May 2010. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on the risk assessment of 2-naphthyloxyacetic acid to the Commission on 28 April 2011 (7). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 27 September 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for 2-naphthyloxyacetic acid.(7) Based on the new data submitted by the applicant and included in the additional report an acceptable daily intake could be set. However, during the evaluation of this active substance, a number of other concerns have been identified. In particular, it was not possible to perform a consumer exposure assessment, as necessary information was missing as regards livestock exposure, plant metabolism, residue trials, processing studies and plant residue definition. Furthermore, data were also missing to conclude on the risk to bees, earthworms and soil macro-organisms.(8) The Commission invited the applicant to submit its comments on the conclusion of the Authority. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008, the Commission invited the applicant to submit comments on the draft review report. The applicant submitted its comments, which have been carefully examined.(9) However, despite the arguments put forward by the applicant, the concerns referred to in recital 7 could not be eliminated. Consequently, it has not been demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing 2-naphthyloxyacetic acid satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.(10) 2-naphthyloxyacetic acid should therefore not be approved pursuant to Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.(11) In the interest of clarity, Decision 2009/65/EC should be repealed.(12) This Regulation does not prejudice the submission of a further application for 2-naphthyloxyacetic acid pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as ""other sugar"". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,. The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to EUR 36,225/100 kg net.

Article 6(1) of that Regulation provides that delivery must be effected not later than the end of the second month following receipt of the offer and in any case not later than 31 August of the current marketing year.(2) During the 1999/2000 marketing year the intervention agencies encountered difficulties in setting up a good system for the storage, checking and reception of goods. These difficulties delayed the acceptance of offers made and the taking over of deliveries. For the 1999/2000 marketing year, these difficulties justify a derogation from the time limit set in the abovementioned provisions for delivery to the intervention agency.(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,.

The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.(3) Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,. The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted.(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,. The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

That list includes captan, folpet, formetanate and methiocarb.(2) For those active substances the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 703/2001 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. For captan, folpet and formetanate, the rapporteur Member State was Italy and all relevant information was submitted on 20 October 2003 for captan and folpet and on 13 July 2004 for formetanate. For methiocarb the rapporteur Member State was United Kingdom and all relevant information was submitted on 4 March 2004.(3) The assessment reports have been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 24 April 2006 for captan, folpet and formetanate and on 12 May 2006 for methiocarb in the format of the EFSA Scientific Reports (4). These reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 29 September 2006 in the format of the Commission review reports for captan, folpet, formetanate and methiocarb.(4) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing captan, folpet, formetanate and methiocarb may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review reports. It is therefore appropriate to include these active substances in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.(5) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points concerning captan, folpet, formetanate and methiocarb. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore it is appropriate to require that captan, folpet, formetanate and methiocarb should be subjected to further testing for confirmation of the risk assessment for some issues and that such studies should be presented by the notifiers.(6) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.(7) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing captan, folpet, formetanate and methiocarb to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By way of derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.(8) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.(9) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 March 2008 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.

The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby the manufacturer has under its sole responsibility a factory production control system ensuring that the product is in conformity with the relevant technical specifications. The products set out in Annex II shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself. The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex III shall be indicated in mandates for harmonised standards. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

Switzerland has submitted a request to the Commission to recognise its equivalence for organic yeast as well. Examination of the information submitted with that request and subsequent clarifications provided by Switzerland have led to the conclusion that in that country the rules governing production and controls of organic yeast are equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (3). Consequently, recognition of the equivalence of Switzerland's systems of production and control measures, as regards processed agricultural products for use as food, should also apply to organic yeast.(3) The recognition of New Zealand pursuant to Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 currently applies to processed agricultural products for use as food, except for wine and yeast. The New Zealand authorities have submitted a request to the Commission to recognise its equivalence for organic wine as well.

Consequently, recognition of the equivalence of New Zealand's systems of production and control measures, as regards processed products for use as food, should also apply to organic wine.(4) According to the information provided by New Zealand, the competent authority, one of the control bodies and the certificate-issuing body have changed. This should be reflected in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008.(5) Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 sets out the list of control bodies and control authorities competent to carry out controls and issue certificates in third countries for the purpose of equivalence.(6) The Commission has examined requests for inclusion in the list set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008, received by 31 October 2013. Following the examination of all information received, the control bodies and control authorities that have been found to comply with the relevant requirements should be included in that list.(7) ‘LibanCert’ is listed in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008. However, it did not notify the Commission of relevant information relative to the accreditation body referred to in the third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 33(3) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 nor of any changes to its technical dossier in accordance with Article 12(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008. Furthermore, the annual report sent by ‘LibanCert’ in 2013 indicated that it did not meet the specifications set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008. ‘LibanCert’ was invited by the Commission to clarify these issues but it did not reply within the deadline set. According to information available to the Commission, ‘LibanCert’ has ceased operations. It should therefore be withdrawn from the list in Annex IV.(8) Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 as amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 355/2014 (4) contains an error in relation to the code number for a third country for the control body ‘Abcert AG’ and erroneously refers to ‘IMO Swiss AG’ instead of ‘IMOswiss AG’.(9) Annexes III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.(10) For reasons of legal certainty, the corrected provisions relating to Abcert AG and IMOswiss AG should apply from the date of entry into force of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 355/2014.(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the regulatory Committee on organic production,. Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation. Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 is amended and corrected in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

The additional import duties referred to in Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, hereinafter referred to as 'additional duties` shall apply to the products listed in the Annex hereto.2. The trigger prices referred to in Article 15 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 shall be those shown in the Annex hereto.3. For the purposes of this Regulation, representative price shall mean the price established in accordance with Article 2. 1. The representative prices referred to in Article 15 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 shall be established taking into account in particular - the prices charged on third country markets,- free-at-Community-frontier offer prices,- prices charged for imported products at the various stages of marketing in the Community.2. Representative prices shall be fixed by the Commission. They shall remain in force until amended.3. The additional duties applicable pursuant to Article 4 (3) shall be fixed at the same time as the representative prices. Where the difference between the trigger price and the import price to be taken into consideration for establishing the additional duty in accordance with Article 4 (1) or (3) hereinafter referred to as the 'import price`.(a) does not exceed 10 % of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be zero;(b) is more than 10 % but not moer than 40 % of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be 30 % of the amount exceeding 10 %;(c) is more than 40 % but not more than 60 % of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be 50 % of the amount exceeding 40 %, plus the additional duty referred to in (b);(d) is more than 60 % than not more than 75 % of the trigger pice, the additional duty shall be 70 % of the amount exceeding 60 %, plus the additional duties referred to in (b) and (c);(e) is more than 75 % of the trigger price, the additional duty shall be 90 % of the amount exceeding 75 %, plus the additional duties referred to in (b), (c), and (d),in accordance with the table contained in the Annex hereto. 1. The importer may, on request, for the establishment of the additional duty, have the cif import price of the consignment in question applied, where this is more than the applicable representative price referred to in Article 2 (2).The application of the cif import price of the consignment in question for establishing the additional levy shall be conditional upon the interested party presenting to the competent authorities of the importing Member State at least the following documentary evidence:- the purchase contract or other equivalent proof,- the insurance contract,- the invoice,- the transport contract (where applicable),- the certificate of origin,- and, in the case of shipping, the bill of lading.2. In the case referred to in paragraph 1, the importer must provide a security equal to the amounts of the additional duties he would have paid if they had been calculated on the basis of the representative price applicable to the product concerned.The importer shall have one month from the sale of the products in question, within a time limit of four months from the date of acceptance of the declaration of free circulation, to prove that the consignment has proceeded in accordance with such conditions as confirm the reality of the prices referred to in paragraph 1. Failure to observe one or other of the abovementioned time limits shall entail loss of the security provided. However, the four-month time limit may be extended by the competent authority by up to three months as the request of the importer, provided due justification is given.The security shall be released provided that the proof that the conditions of disposal have been met is furnished to the satisfaction of the customs authorities.

After considering all the data on stability, degradation products and toxicology, EFSA concluded that neotame is not of safety concern with respect to the proposed uses as a sweetener and flavour enhancer and established an acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0–2 mg/kg bw/day. EFSA also noted that conservative estimates of neotame dietary exposure both in adults and children suggest that it is very unlikely that the ADI would be exceeded at the proposed use levels.(3) Neotame is a highly intense sweetener with a sweetness potency ranging from 7 000 to 13 000 times that of sucrose. It may be used as a replacement for sucrose or other sweeteners in a broad range of products. Neotame can be used alone or with other sweeteners. In addition, neotame can modify the flavour of foods and beverages.(4) It is necessary to amend the Annex of Directive 94/35/EC to permit the use of neotame in the same food applications as the other currently permitted intense sweeteners. Neotame should be assigned a new E number, namely E 961. In order to facilitate the marketing and use of this new sweetener, it is provided that products which comply with the provisions of this Directive may be marketed from the date of its entry into force.(5) In accordance with point 34 of the Interinstitutional agreement on better law-making (4), Member States are encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interests of the Union, their own tables, which will, as far as possible, illustrate the correlation between this Directive and the transposition measures, and to make them public.(6) 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 Annex to Directive 94/35/EC is 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 by 12 October 2010 at the latest.

THE FACTS (1) The IEP results from an agreement signed on 18 November 1974. 23 countries, members of the OECD, now participate in the IEP. The objectives of the IEP are set out in Commission Decision 83/671/EEC. The IEP aims at responding to oil supply disruptions by ensuring the availability of oil stocks for use in emergencies, and by restraining demand and allocating available supplies among the participating countries on a equitable basis according to an allocation process.The implementation of the IEP is described in the Notice (4) pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17 and in Decision 83/671/EEC.(2) Since Decision 83/671/EEC, the following changes have occurred:(a) At present 18 oil companies and one association of oil companis (compared to 16 oil companies and two associations in December 1983) are members of the Industry Advisory Board (IAB). The IAB assists the IEA in ensuring the effective operation of emergency measures.The oil companies and the association are all members of the group of 'reporting companies' of which there are at present 41.(b) Some changs have occurred in the allocation process. There have been two amendments to the IEA's Emergency Management Manual, which was last published in December 1982. One of the two amendments clarified the intention that, in oil transactions which might occur as part of the activation and operation of the IEA's Emergency Sharing System, prices should be based on conditions prevailing for comparable commercial transactions. The other admendment sets out procedures for resolving, during an emergency, any large discrepancies in the oil supply data submitted by different member countries.(c) Another important new contingency arrangement, which does not affect directly the Emergency Sharing System, is the Agency's co-called 'Coordinated Emergency Response Measures' (CERM) mechanism. Under the CERM, IEA member governments have agreed to give early consideration, during an energy crisis, to the coordinated use of their oil stocks and to additional demand-restraint measures.(d) Concerning the types of activities which constitute part of the allocation process (Types 1, 2, 3), there have been changes related to Type 1 and Type 2 activities. In order to take into account the changes in the structure of the oil market, as well as technical improvements in the computer capabilities available to the Secretariat for crisis-management purposes, the Emergency Sharing System was improved in 1986. It was decided to extend the prescribed period for the solicitation, processing and implementation of 'closed-loop voluntary offers' by reporting companies and non-reporting companies for the re-arrangement of oil supplies in response to an emergency and to accelerate the process for the approval of those offers by the Allocation Coordinator. Thus, under the 'Wider Window' proposal 'closed-loop voluntary offers' can be submitted to the ISAG (Industry Supply Advisory Group) or the IEA Secretariat at nearly any time during an allocation cycle, not just at specified times.(e) As to the situation in the oil market, there have been significant developments over the past ten years. During the 1970s, the OECD countries were able to reduce their energy dependence through the reduction of consumption, the exploitation of new areas (Alaska, North Sea) and the development of other sources of energy (nuclear, renewable energy). But since 1985 there has been a trend towards increased oil imports. This is likely to continue, with the IEA forecasting that coverage of OECD demand by net imports will rise from 60 per cent or so at present to possibly 70 per cent during the first decade of the next century. Most of the increase in oil imports will come from the major producing regions, which are subject to an endemic political uncertainty, thus increasing OECD countries' vulnerability to oil supply disruptions. The IEA will, therefore, need to maintain, update and periodicallytest its emergency response capabilities.Crude OIl and NGL (Natural Gas Liquids) Production>(5)()""(6)(7)(7)(6)(7)(7)"" ID=""4"">(million tonne)"" ID=""1"">93> ID=""2"">142> ID=""3"">116> ID=""4"">135""> ID=""1"">702> ID=""2"">780> ID=""3"">740> ID=""4"">761""> ID=""1"">2 924> ID=""2"">3 090> ID=""3"">3 189> ID=""4"">3 180"" ID=""4"">(million barrels/day)"" ID=""1"">2> ID=""2"">3> ID=""3"">2,5> ID=""4"">2,9""> ID=""1"">15> ID=""2"">16,6> ID=""3"">15,9> ID=""4"">16,4""> ID=""1"">63> ID=""2"">63,3> ID=""3"">65,6> ID=""4"">65,4"""">Imports and exports of crude oil and NGL""(million tons)>(8)()""> ID=""1"">EG countries (9)"" ID=""1"">Imports> ID=""2"">527> ID=""3"">450> ID=""4"">471> ID=""5"">502""> ID=""1"">Exports> ID=""2"">44> ID=""3"">80> ID=""4"">67> ID=""5"">71"""" ID=""1"">OECD countries (10)"" ID=""1"">Imports> ID=""2"">1 251> ID=""3"">934> ID=""4"">1 040> ID=""5"">1 104""> ID=""1"">Exports> ID=""2"">63> ID=""3"">171> ID=""4"">174> ID=""5"">211"""">>(3) The application for an extension of the exemption, for a further period of no less than the years from 1 January 1994 onwards, is motivated by the need to allow oil companies to cooperate in carrying out the Emergency Sharing System. Indeed the Emergency Sharing System relies heavily upon the oil industry to coordinate any necessary redistribution of the available oil supplies, in accordance with the sharing formula set out in the IEP Agreement.II. COMMENTS FROM THIRD PARTIES (4) Following the publication of the notice pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17, no comments were received from third parties.III. LEGAL ASSESSMENT A. Article 85 (1) (5) For the same reasons as those previously outlined in Decision 83/671/EEC, to which reference should be made, the consent of the oil companies to cooperate with one another and the IFA in the framework of the IEP and in the operation of the IEA emergency oil allocation system is a concerted practice which falls within the scope of Article 85 (1), notably because:(a) The concertation between the oil copanies has the object and effect of taking into account and balancing allocation rights and obligations. This means in some cases directing oil to destinations where it would not have gone had the IEA system not been activated.(b) The oil companies' behaviour when exchanging information within the framework of the IEA may alter the market conditions from what they would be without such exchanges of information.(c) The possible effects of thse restrictions on competition may be appreciable. The undertakings start to concert on allocation actions when a 7 % shortfall in oil supplies available to all IEA countries or to one of them has occurred or may reasonably be expected to occur. In the event of activation, several million tonnes of oil may have to be redistributed each month.(d) The joint effort of the oil companies to redistribute available oil may have an appreciable effect on trade between Member States. The usual flow of oil supplies may be modified in order to meet allocation rights and obligations according to the situation of each participating country.B. Article 85 (3) (6) On the basis of the information at its disposal, the Commission has come to the conclusion that the advantages of the concerted practice of the oil companies continue to constitute a sufficient basis for the application of Article 85 (3). The changes which have occurred since 1983 do not affect the validity of the exemption. They aim at improving the reallocation process and take into account the changes in the structure of the oil market and the technical improvements.(a) The concerted practice does contribute to improving the distribution of the relevant goods and to promoting economic progress by reducing the inconvenience and sharing the difficulties in case of supply disruptions.(b) The concerted practice allows the consumer a fair share of the resulting benefit, as the concerted practice is experted to minimize the impact of the shortage of the general economny of the participating countries, with an immediate benefit to consumers.(c) The concertation between companies to achieve the allocation needed does not go beyond what is necessary for the fulfilment of the objectives of the IEP.(d) The concerted practice does not afford the undertakings the possibility of eliminating competition in respect of a substantial part of the products in question. Competition between the oil companies will continue in all other respects apart from their obligation to observe allocation rights and to fulfil allocation obligations.IV. ARTICLES 6 AND 8 OF REGULATION No 17 (7) The appliction for renewal of the exemption granted by Decision 83/671/EEC was submitted by the Chariman of the IAB before 31 December 1993, the date the Decision expires. Pursuant to Article 6 (1) of Regulation No 17, this Decision should take effect from 1 January 1994.(8) Article 3 of Decision 83/671/EEC obliged the oil companies to inform the Commission at the earliest possible moment of:1. any change adopted by the Governing Board or National Emergency Sharing Organizations to the rules governing the emergency oil allocation system and the participation of oil companies therein;2. any consultations with oil companies provided for in Article 19 (6) and (7) or Article 55 (3) of the International Energy Program or submission by the companies to the Interantional Energy Agency or national governments pursuant to the foregoing rules of data such as that on imports, exports, indigenous production and investories;3. the declaration of the beginning of any emergency;4. any proposals or arrangements for a test run of the emergency oil allocation system or of the data system.The exemption was granted subject to the obligation that the Commission should have access for its representatives to any consultations with oil companies provided for in Article 19 (6) and (7) or Article 55 (3) of the International Energy Program which may take place, and to any meeting of the Industry Supply Advisory Group or its subgroups or of the Industry Advisory Board or its subcommittes which might take place when the emergency oil allocation system was being implemented or when test runs were being carried out. The Commission's representatives were to have made available to them upon request all documents and other information in connection with such consultations, meetings and test runs in the possession or under the control of any company to which the Decision applied, and all documents and other information in such possession or control in connection with Type 2 and Type 3 activities and with Type 1 activities that were reported to the Commission.The reporting requirements have been fulfilled throughout the period of exemption and should be imposed again for the extended duration of the exemption pursuant to Article 8 (2) of Regualtion No. 17.(9) Pursuant to Article 8 (1) of Regulation No 17, a Commission decision in application of Article 85 (3) of the Treaty must be issued for a specified period. In the present case an extension of the Decision for a period of ten years appears appropriate.. The exemption granted by Decision 83/671/EEC is hereby until 31 December 2003. Exemption is granted subjected to the same reporting requirements as are specified in Article 3 of Decision 83/671/EEC. This Decision shall apply from 1 January 1994.

In 2009, farms with an area of up to 5 hectares made up 52,5 % of all farms.(3) In 2009, the economic and financial crisis substantially decreased producer prices of agricultural products in Lithuania: in the first quarter, the producer prices of agricultural products declined by 27 % compared to the first quarter of 2008, by 25,3 % in the second quarter compared to the second quarter of 2008 and by 8 % in the third quarter compared to the third quarter of 2008. Crop producer prices have been especially significantly hit by this decrease: over the same reference period producer prices of crop products declined accordingly by 33,6 %, 35,7 % and 17,9 %.(4) At the end of 2008 and in 2009, in view of the lack of equity capital of farmers and the high interest rates applied by credit institutions on loans for the purchase of agricultural land, the prospects for farmers of taking out loans for investments such as the purchase of agricultural land at market conditions were drastically reduced. In the fourth quarter of 2008 and in 2009, credit interest rates on loans for the purchase of agricultural land varied between 9,51 % to 15,99 % per annum.(5) The State aid will be provided in two alternative forms: 1) by multiplying the market price of the purchased land by a weighting factor (0,6 or 0,75 for young farmers if all the conditions set in the aid scheme are fulfilled); 2) by selling the State-owned agricultural land on an instalment basis, in which case the aid corresponds to the difference between the actual interest rate paid by the purchaser, which is minimum 5 %, and the interest rate applied by the lending bank.(6) The State aid to be granted amounts to a maximum of LTL 55 million and should enable the purchase of a total of 370 000 hectares of agricultural land — in the form of a maximum of 300 hectares of agricultural land per purchaser — during the period from 2010 to 2013. The average amount of aid per holding should be approximately LTL 11 000. The land may be sold to natural persons who fulfil the following conditions: they have submitted a ‘single application’ in respect of the area-related aid schemes in accordance with Article 11 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 796/2004 of 21 April 2004 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of cross-compliance, modulation and the integrated administration and control system provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (1) in the year preceding the year of submission of their application for State aid; they manage the farm accountancy; they have experience in practical farming and have a registered farm or they have experience in practical farming and hold a diploma in the area of agriculture or a document certifying vocational training in farming. The land may also be sold to legal persons, for which at least half of the annual income is made up of proceeds of sales of marketable agricultural products and for which there is proof of their economic viability.(7) State-owned agricultural land can be sold in instalments over a period of no longer than 15 years, the purchaser starting to pay as from the second year and paying 10 % of the price outright, except for young farmers under 40 years of age, who need only pay 5 %. The purchaser must meet the minimum standards of environment protection, hygiene and animal welfare.(8) No tendering procedure applies for State-owned agricultural land but the price is calculated according to the Lithuanian Law on Foundations of Property and Business Valuation, i.e. after evaluation of the properties of each land plot at market price. A weighting of 0,6 applies to the price so calculated if young farmers under 40 years of age who have used the land in question for at least 1 year, pay for it outright. A weighting of 0,75 applies in the case of young farmers under 40 years of age who have used the land in question for at least 1 year, pay for the land in instalments. The purchasers of State-owned land cannot change the main purpose of its use earlier than 5 years from the day of purchase. If either of the above weightings has been applied to the price of the land, the purchaser cannot transfer this property earlier than 5 years from the day of purchase.(9) The Commission has not at this stage initiated any procedure nor taken a position on the nature and compatibility of the aid.(10) Exceptional circumstances therefore exist, making it possible to consider such aid, by way of derogation and to the extent strictly necessary to finish land reform successfully and to improve the structure of farms and the efficiency of farming in Lithuania, to be compatible with the internal market,. Exceptional State aid by the Lithuanian authorities for loans for the purchase of State-owned agricultural land, amounting to a maximum of LTL 55 million and granted between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2013, shall be considered to be compatible with the internal market.

Implementing rules should be laid down for the quota year 2005/2006, starting on 1 July 2005.(2) The import of frozen beef under the tariff quota is subject to customs import duties and to the conditions laid down under serial number 13 of Annex 7 to Part three of Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (2). The breakdown of the tariff quota into each of the arrangements referred to above should be made taking into account the experience gained in respect of similar imports in the past.(3) So as to avoid speculation, access to the quota should be allowed only to active processors carrying out processing in a processing establishment approved in accordance with Article 8 of Council Directive 77/99/EEC of 21 December 1976 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in meat products (3).(4) Imports into the Community under the tariff quota are subject to presentation of an import licence in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999. It should be possible to issue licences following allocations of import rights on the basis of applications from eligible processors. The provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4) and of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (5) should apply to import licences issued under this Regulation.(5) In order to prevent speculation, import licences should be issued to processors solely for the quantities for which they have been allocated import rights. Moreover, for the same reason, security should be lodged together with the application for import rights. The application for import licences corresponding to the allocated rights should be a primary requirement within the meaning of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of securities for agricultural products (6).(6) The application of the tariff quota requires strict surveillance of imports and effective checks as to their use and destination. The processing should therefore be authorised only in the establishment referred to in the import licence.(7) A security should be lodged in order to ensure that the imported meat is used according to the tariff quota specifications. The amount of that security should be fixed taking into account the difference between the customs duties applicable within and outside the quota.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,. An import tariff quota of 50 700 tonnes, bone-in equivalent of frozen beef falling within CN code 0202 20 30, 0202 30 10, 0202 30 50, 0202 30 90 or 0206 29 91 and intended for processing in the Community (hereinafter referred to as ‘the quota’) is hereby opened for the period from 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006 subject to the conditions laid down in this Regulation. 1.   For the purposes of this Regulation, an A-product shall mean a processed product falling within CN code 1602 10, 1602 50 31, 1602 50 39 or 1602 50 80, not containing meat other than that of animals of the bovine species, with a collagen/protein ratio of no more than 0,45 and containing by weight at least 20 % of lean meat excluding offal and fat with meat and jelly accounting for at least 85 % of the total net weight.The collagen content shall be considered to be the hydroxyproline content multiplied by the factor 8.

To this end, processors shall at any time be able to demonstrate the identity and use of the imported meat through appropriate production records.Technical verification of the production method by the competent authority may, to the extent necessary, make allowance for drip losses and trimmings.In order to verify the quality of the finished product and establish its conformity with the processor’s formula for the composition of the product, Member States shall take representative samples and analyse those products. The costs of such operations shall be borne by the processor concerned. 01.   The security referred to in Article 6(4) shall be released in proportion to the quantity for which, within seven months of the day of import, proof has been furnished to the satisfaction of the competent authority that all or part of the imported meat has been processed into the relevant products within three months following the day of import in the designated establishment.However, if processing took place after the three-month time limit referred to in the first subparagraph, the security shall be released minus a 15 % reduction plus 2 % of the remaining amount for each day by which the time limit has been exceeded.If proof of processing is established within the seven-month time limit referred to in the first subparagraph and produced within 18 months following those seven months the amount forfeited, less 15 % of the security amount, shall be repaid.2.   The amount not released of the security referred to in Article 6(4), shall be forfeited and retained as a customs duty. 1This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

the sucrose content of the product in question is determined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.(3) Article 30(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported in the natural state must be equal to the basic amount of the refund less one hundredth of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(4) to the products listed in the Annex to the last mentioned Regulation;(4) According to the terms of Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the basic amount of the refund on the other products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation exported in the natural state must be equal to one-hundredth of an amount which takes account, on the one hand, of the difference between the intervention price for white sugar for the Community areas without deficit for the month for which the basic amount is fixed and quotations or prices for white sugar on the world market and, on the other, of the need to establish a balance between the use of Community basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under inward-processing arrangements.(5) According to the terms of Article 30(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, the application of the basic amount may be limited to some of the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of the said Regulation.(6) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 makes provision for setting refunds for export in the natural state of products referred to in Article 1(1)(f) and (g) and (h) of that Regulation; the refund must be fixed per 100 kilograms of dry matter, taking account of the export refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91 and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 and of the economic aspects of the intended exports; in the case of the products referred to in the said Article (1)(f) and (g), the refund is to be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95; for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund shall be granted only for products complying with the conditions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.(7) The abovementioned refunds must be fixed every month; they may be altered in the intervening period.(8) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.(9) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial in nature.(10) In order to prevent any abuses associated with the reimportation into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, refunds for the products covered by this Regulation should not be fixed for all the countries of the western Balkans.(11) In view of the above, refunds for the products in question should be fixed at the appropriate amounts.(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,. The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(d)(f)(g) and (h) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, exported in the natural state, shall be set out in the Annex hereto to this Regulation.

It furthermore repeals Commission Directive 2005/26/EC of 21 March 2005 establishing a list of food ingredients or substances provisionally excluded from Annex IIIa of Directive 2000/13/EC (3).(2) Since changes in labelling rules affect industry, mainly small and medium-sized enterprises, which need an adaptation period to smooth the transition towards new labelling requirements, Directive 2007/68/EC provided for temporary measures to facilitate the application of the new rules by allowing the marketing of foods placed on the market or labelled before 31 May 2009 that complied with Directive 2005/26/EC until stocks were exhausted.(3) That transitional period provided for by those temporary measures was extended until 31 December 2010 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 415/2009 (4) for wines as defined in Annex IV to Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 (5).(4) Following the repeal of Regulation (EC) No 479/2008, wines are now defined in Annex XIb to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (6). Reference should thus be made to that Annex.(5) In accordance with Article 6(11), first subparagraph of Directive 2000/13/EC, the list in Annex IIIa should be systematically re-examined and, where necessary, updated on the basis of the most recent scientific knowledge.(6) The wine sector conducted new scientific studies on the allergenicity of casein and ovalbumin, derived from milk and egg respectively, used as fining agents in the winemaking. According to the applicant, those studies are based on new scientific data demonstrating that wines fined with casein and ovalbumin according to good manufacturing practice are not likely to trigger adverse reactions in milk or egg allergic individuals.(7) On 8 June and 19 July 2010 the International Organisation of Vine and Wine made a request for a labelling exemption regarding casein and ovalbumin used in the manufacture of wine as clarification processing aids.(8) On 14 July and 30 July 2010 the Commission submitted to EFSA requests for scientific opinions on the abovementioned substances.(9) In order to avoid unnecessary burdens on the economic operators due to changes in labelling rules, the mandatory application to the wine sector of Directive 2007/68/EC should be postponed pending the scientific assessment by EFSA.(10) The date provided for in Article 3(3) of Directive 2007/68/EC which sets out a transitional period should be consequently set for 30 June 2012 for wines placed on the market or labelled before that date and until their stocks are exhausted provided they comply with the provisions previously in force, namely those of Directive 2005/26/EC.(11) Directive 2007/68/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,. In Article 3 of Directive 2007/68/EC the third paragraph is replaced by the following:‘Member States shall allow wines, as defined in Annex XIb to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, placed on the market or labelled before 30 June 2012, and which comply with the provisions of Directive 2005/26/EC, to be marketed until stocks are exhausted.’ 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..

The deficit was reduced in 1997 to 2,7 % of GDP, which is below the Treaty reference value, and a further reduction to 2,5 % of GDP is forecast for 1998. According to the 1997 convergence programme of Germany, the government deficit is projected to decline further to 1,5 % of GDP in 2000.The government debt ratio continued to rise until 1997 when it reached 61,3 % of GDP; the debt ratio rose to just above the 60 % of GDP reference value in 1996 after having increased sharply in 1995. The debt ratio is expected to decline in 1998 and projected to continue declining in the following years in the German convergence programme.The exceptional circumstances of German unification continue to put a heavy burden on the German budget. Furthermore, the German government debt includes unification-related liabilities amounting to around 10 % of GDP.The deficit was below the Treaty reference value in 1997 and is expected to remain so in 1998 and to decline further in the medium term. The debt ratio was slightly above the Treaty reference value in 1997 but is expected to start declining in 1998 and to return soon to below the Treaty reference value,. From an overall assessment it follows that the excessive deficit situation in Germany has been corrected. The Council Decision of 27 June 1996 on the existence of an excessive deficit in Germany is hereby abrogated. This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany..

Article 3 of this Regulation divides the maximum guaranteed area between lentils and chickpeas, on the one hand, and vetches, on the other hand, allowing the unused balance of one maximum guaranteed area to be reallocated to the other maximum guaranteed area before an overrun is determined.(2) The maximum guaranteed area for lentils and chickpeas referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 was not exceeded in 2001/02, whereas the maximum guaranteed area for vetches, increased by the unused balance of the maximum guaranteed area for lentils and chickpeas, was exceeded by 2,49 % in 2001/02.

When those prices are fixed, account is to be taken of the regional variations in the price of sugar, which, given a normal harvest and free movement of sugar, may be expected to occur under natural conditions of price formation on the market and in view of experience gained and the costs of transporting sugar from surplus areas to deficit areas.(3) To establish whether an area is a deficit area, projections should be made based on the data returned by the Member States relating both to the current marketing year as regards consumption trends, and to the prospects for the coming marketing year as regards developments in available production. As a result, areas should be recognised as deficit areas only where the projections clearly indicate that a deficit is likely to occur.(4) On this basis, the areas of production in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal and Finland are likely to be deficit areas.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,. The derived intervention prices for white sugar in the deficit areas of the Community shall be:(a) EUR 64,65/100 kg for all areas in Ireland and the United Kingdom;(b) EUR 64,65/100 kg for all areas in Portugal;(c) EUR 64,65/100 kg for all areas in Finland;(d) EUR 64,88/100 kg for all areas in Spain.

By letter dated 19 September 2012, the Commission notified Slovenia that it had all the information necessary to consider the request.(3) Under Article 287 of Directive 2006/112/EC, certain Member States which acceded to the Union after 1 January 1978 may exempt from VAT taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than the equivalent in national currency of the amounts at the conversion rate on the day of their accession as specified in that provision. Slovenia has requested that its corresponding threshold, which is established at EUR 25 000 pursuant to point 15 of Article 287, be increased to EUR 50 000.(4) A higher threshold for the special scheme for small enterprises is a simplification measure, as it may significantly reduce the VAT obligations of small businesses. The special scheme is optional for taxable persons.(5) In its proposal of 29 October 2004 for a Directive amending Directive 77/388/EEC, now Directive 2006/112/EC, with a view to simplifying valued added tax obligations, the Commission included provisions aimed at allowing Member States to set the annual turnover ceiling for the VAT exemption scheme at up to EUR 100 000 or the equivalent in national currency, with the possibility of updating that amount each year. The request submitted by Slovenia is in line with that proposal.(6) The derogating measure will have only a negligible effect on the overall amount of the tax revenue of Slovenia collected at the stage of final consumption and will have no adverse impact on the Union’s own resources accruing from VAT,. By way of derogation from point 15 of Article 287 of Directive 2006/112/EC, the Republic of Slovenia is authorised to exempt from VAT taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than EUR 50 000. This Decision shall take effect on the day of its notification.It shall apply from 1 January 2013 until the date of entry into force of a Directive amending the amounts of the annual turnover ceilings below which taxable persons may qualify for VAT exemption or until 31 December 2015, whichever date is earlier.

The same Article provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the rice market and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports and the need to avoid disturbances of the Community market with limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.(3) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1361/76(3) lays down the maximum percentage of broken rice allowed in rice for which an export refund is fixed and specifies the percentage by which that refund is to be reduced where the proportion of broken rice in the rice exported exceeds that maximum.(4) Export possibilities exist for a quantity of 4797 tonnes of rice to certain destinations.

The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. This tolerance is defined in Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcasses (2).(2) The Lithuanian Government has asked the Commission to authorise four methods for grading pig carcasses and has presented the results of its dissection trials in the second part of the protocol provided for in Article 3(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85.(3) Examination of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising those grading methods are fulfilled.(4) No modification of the apparata or grading methods may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained. For this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,. The use of the following methods is hereby authorised for grading pig carcasses pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in Lithuania:1. the Fat-O-Meat’er (FOM) apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex,2. the Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP 7) apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 2 of the Annex,3. the IM-03 apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 3 of the Annex,4. the Two point method (ZP) measuring by ruler (ruler method) apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 4 of the Annex.The manual method (ZP) may be applied only in slaughterhouses which do not exceed a weekly slaughtering of 200 pigs.

Grading of pig carcasses is carried out by means of the apparatus known as ‘Fat-O-Meat’er (FOM)’.2. The apparatus shall be equipped with a probe of 6 millimetres diameter containing a photodiode of the Siemens SFH 950/960 type and having an operating distance of between 3 and 103 millimetres. The results of the measurements are converted into estimated lean meat content by means of a computer.3. The lean meat content of the carcass shall be calculated according to the following formula:= the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass,F1 = fat depth (including rind) in millimetres, measured between the 3rd and 4th vertebrae, 8 cm beside the slaughter line,F2 = fat depth (including rind) in millimetres, measured between the 3rd and 4th last rib, 6 cm beside the slaughter line,M2 = lean meat depth in millimetres, measured between the 3rd and 4th last rib, 6 cm beside the slaughter line.Part 2HENNESSY GRADING PROBE (HGP7)1. Grading of pig carcasses is carried out by means of the apparatus called ‘Hennessy grading probe (HGP 7)’.2. The apparatus shall be equipped with a probe of 5,95 mm diameter (and have abutting 6,3 mm of blade on either side of the probe at its head) containing a photodiode (Siemens LED of the type LYU 260-EO and photodetector of the type 58 MR) and having an operating distance of between 0 and 120 mm. The results of the measurements shall be transformed in terms of estimated lean meat content by means of the HGP 7 itself as well as a computer linked to it.3. The lean meat content of the carcasse shall be calculated according to the following formula:= the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass,F2 = fat depth (including rind) in millimetres, measured between the 3rd and 4th last rib, 6 cm beside the slaughter line,M2 = lean meat depth in millimetres, measured between the 3rd and 4th last rib, 6 cm beside the slaughter line.Part 3IM-031. Grading of pig carcasses shall be carried out by means of the apparatus termed ‘IM-03’.2. The apparatus shall be equipped with a needle-optical probe (single line scanner SLS01) of 7 millimetres diameter. The probe contains the line of contact image sensors (CIS) and green light-emitting diodes. The operating distance is between 0 and 132 millimetres.3. The lean meat content of the carcass shall be calculated according to the following formula:= the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass,F2 = fat depth (including rind) in millimetres, measured between the 3rd and 4th last rib, 6 cm beside the slaughter line,M2 = lean meat depth in millimetres, measured between the 3rd and 4th last rib, 6 cm beside the slaughter line,W = warm carcass weight in kilograms.Part 4MANUAL METHOD (ZP)1. Grading of pig carcasses shall be carried out by use of the ‘manual method (ZP) or two point method’ measuring by ruler.2. This method may be implemented using a ruler, with the grading determined on the basis of the prediction equation. It is based on the manual measurement on the midline of the split carcass of the thickness of the fat and of the thickness of the muscle.3. The lean meat content of carcasses shall be calculated according to the following formula:= the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass,F = fat depth (including rind) in millimetres, measured at the slaughter line of the carcass at the thinnest location above the musculus gluteus medius,M = thickness of the loin muscle in millimetres, measured on the slaughter line of the carcass as the shortest connection of the front (cranial) end of the musculus gluteus medius to the upper (dorsal) edge of the spinal canal,W = warm carcass weight in kilograms. +",agricultural product nomenclature;nomenclature of agricultural products;measuring equipment;measuring instrument;meter;pigmeat;pork;carcase;animal carcase;Lithuania;Republic of Lithuania,11 +1501,"Council Regulation (EEC) No 1365/80 of 5 June 1980 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1078/77 introducing a system of premiums for the non-marketing of milk and milk products and for the conversion of dairy herds. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1078/77 of 17 May 1977 introducing a system of premiums for the non-marketing of milk and milk products and for the conversion of dairy herds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1270/79 (2), and in particular Article 13 (2) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas the objectives of Regulation (EEC) No 1078/77 in respect of the reduction of dairy herds have not yet been achieved ; whereas it appears appropriate to extend the system of non-marketing premiums until 15 September 1980 and the conversion premium system until the end of the 1980/81 milk year;Whereas the arrangement applicable until 31 May 1980 having been kept in application by Regulation (EEC) No 1390/80 (3), as a precaution and subject to new provisions, the new arrangement should be applied with retroactive effect as from 1 June,.

In particular, Article 9 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 provides that those surplus quantities are to be eliminated from the market in the form of sugar as such or isoglucose at the expense of Croatia.(2) Moreover, Section 2 of Chapter II of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 provides that the Commission is to determine the surplus quantities by 31 December 2014 at the latest.(3) In order to determine the surplus quantities, Article 13(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 provides that Croatia was to communicate to the Commission relevant information on quantities of production, consumption, stocks, export and import, as well as information on the system established for the identification of surplus quantities. On that basis, the Commission should determine the surplus quantities comparing the development in the Croatian sugar market from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013, in relation to the previous three years. Specific circumstances of stock-piling should also be taken into consideration as provided for in Article 7(2)(c) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013. In particular, due account needs to be taken of the increase in consumption and stocks in Croatia as well as of the trend in the Union, as also suggested by Croatia.(4) On the basis of the communications from Croatia, sugar surplus quantities should be determined in accordance with that method.(5) For the determination of surplus quantities of isoglucose and fructose, the same method was applied. As a result, no surplus quantities of fructose and isoglucose need to be determined.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,. The quantities of sugar exceeding the quantity considered as being normal carry-over stock at 1 July 2013 and which have to be eliminated from the Union market at the expense of Croatia in accordance with Article 9 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 are 37 138 tonnes.

Article 61 cites those lists among the flanking measures which are directly linked to the free movement of persons in an area of freedom, security and justice.(2) This Regulation follows on from the Schengen acquis in accordance with the Protocol integrating it into the framework of the European Union, hereinafter referred to as the ""Schengen Protocol"". It does not affect Member States' obligations deriving from the acquis as defined in Annex A to Decision 1999/435/EC of 20 May 1999 concerning the definition of the Schengen acquis for the purpose of determining, in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Community and the Treaty on European Union, the legal basis for each of the provisions or decisions which constitute the acquis(3).(3) This Regulation constitutes the further development of those provisions in respect of which closer cooperation has been authorised under the Schengen Protocol and falls within the area referred to in Article 1, point B, of Decision 1999/437/EC of 17 May 1999 on certain arrangements for the application of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis(4).(4) Pursuant to Article 1 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Ireland and the United Kingdom are not participating in the adoption of this Regulation. Consequently and without prejudice to Article 4 of the aforementioned Protocol, the provisions of this Regulation apply neither to Ireland nor to the United Kingdom.(5) The determination of those third countries whose nationals are subject to the visa requirement, and those exempt from it, is governed by a considered, case-by-case assessment of a variety of criteria relating inter alia to illegal immigration, public policy and security, and to the European Union's external relations with third countries, consideration also being given to the implications of regional coherence and reciprocity. Provision should be made for a Community mechanism enabling this principle of reciprocity to be implemented if one of the third countries included in Annex II to this Regulation decides to make the nationals of one or more Member States subject to the visa obligation.(6) As the Agreement on the European Economic Area exempts nationals of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway from the visa requirement, these countries are not included in the list in Annex II hereto.(7) As regards stateless persons and recognised refugees, without prejudice to obligations under international agreements signed by the Member States and in particular the European Agreement on the Abolition of Visas for Refugees, signed at Strasbourg on 20 April 1959, the decision as to the visa requirement or exemption should be based on the third country in which these persons reside and which issued their travel documents. However, given the differences in the national legislation applicable to stateless persons and to recognised refugees, Member States may decide whether these categories of persons shall be subject to the visa requirement, where the third country in which these persons reside and which issued their travel documents is a third country whose nationals are exempt from the visa requirement.(8) In specific cases where special visa rules are warranted, Member States may exempt certain categories of persons from the visa requirement or impose it on them in accordance with public international law or custom.(9) With a view to ensuring that the system is administered openly and that the persons concerned are informed, Member States should communicate to the other Member States and to the Commission the measures which they take pursuant to this Regulation. For the same reasons, that information should also be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.(10) The conditions governing entry into the territory of the Member States or the issue of visas do not affect the rules currently governing recognition of the validity of travel documents.(11) In accordance with the principle of proportionality stated in Article 5 of the Treaty, enacting a Regulation listing the third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders, and those whose nationals are exempt from that requirement, is both a necessary and an appropriate means of ensuring that the common visa rules operate efficiently.(12) This Regulation provides for full harmonisation as regards the third countries whose nationals are subject to the visa requirement for the crossing of Member States' external borders, and those whose nationals are exempt from that requirement. However, the application of the exemption from the visa requirement for nationals of certain third countries, which are listed in Annex II, will come into force only later. To that end, the Council will take a decision for each of those countries on the basis of reports drawn up by the Commission,. 1. Nationals of third countries on the list in Annex I shall be required to be in possession of a visa when crossing the external borders of the Member States.2. Without prejudice to Article 8(2), nationals of third countries on the list in Annex II shall be exempt from the requirement set out in paragraph 1, for stays of no more than three months in all.3. Nationals of new third countries formerly part of countries on the lists in Annexes I and II shall be subject respectively to the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 unless and until the Council decides otherwise under the procedure laid down in the relevant provision of the Treaty.4. The establishment by a third country on the list in Annex II of the visa requirement for nationals of a Member State shall give rise to the application of the following provisions, without prejudice to the provisions of any agreement which the Community may have concluded with that third country granting exemption from the visa requirement:(a) the Member State may notify the Commission and the Council in writing of the fact that the third country has established the visa requirement;(b) in the case of such notification, Member States' obligation to subject the nationals of the third country concerned to the visa requirement shall be established provisionally 30 days after notification unless the Council, acting by qualified majority beforehand, decides otherwise;(c) provisional introduction of the visa requirement shall be published by the Council in the Official Journal of the European Communities before it takes effect;(d) the Commission shall examine any request made by the Council or by a Member State that it submit a proposal to the Council amending the Annexes to this Regulation to include the third country concerned in Annex I and remove it from Annex II;(e) if, prior to the adoption by the Council of such an amendment to the Annexes to this Regulation, the third country repeals its decision to establish the visa requirement, the Member State concerned shall immediately notify the Commission and the Council in writing accordingly;(f) such notification shall be published by the Council in the Official Journal of the European Communities. The provisional introduction of the visa requirement for nationals of the third country concerned shall be repealed 7 days after the date of publication. For the purposes of this Regulation, ""visa"" shall mean an authorisation issued by a Member State or a decision taken by such State which is required with a view to:- entry for an intended stay in that Member State or in several Member States of no more than three months in total,- entry for transit through the territory of that Member State or several Member States, except for transit at an airport. Without prejudice to obligations under the European Agreement on the Abolition of Visas for Refugees, signed at Strasbourg on 20 April 1959, recognised refugees and stateless persons:- shall be subject to the visa requirement if the third country where they reside and which issued their travel document is one of the third countries listed in Annex I;- may be exempted from the visa requirement if the third country where they reside and which issued their travel document is one of the third countries listed in Annex II. 1. A Member State may provide for exceptions from the visa requirement provided for by Article 1(1) or from the exemption from the visa requirement provided for by Article 1(2) as regards:(a) holders of diplomatic passports, official-duty passports and other official passports;(b) civilian air and sea crew;(c) the flight crew and attendants on emergency or rescue flights and other helpers in the event of disaster or accident;(d) the civilian crew of ships navigating in international waters;(e) the holders of laissez-passer issued by some intergovernmental international organisations to their officials.2. A Member State may exempt from the visa requirement a school pupil having the nationality of a third country listed in Annex I who resides in a third country listed in Annex II and is travelling in the context of a school excursion as a member of a group of school pupils accompanied by a teacher from the school in question.3. A Member State may provide for exceptions from the exemption from the visa requirement provided for in Article 1(2) as regards persons carrying out a paid activity during their stay. 1. Within 10 working days of the entry into force of this Regulation, Member States shall communicate to the other Member States and the Commission the measures they have taken pursuant to Article 3, second indent and Article 4. Any further changes to those measures shall be similarly communicated within five working days.2. The Commission shall publish the measures communicated pursuant to paragraph 1 in the Official Journal of the European Communities for information. This Regulation shall not affect the competence of Member States with regard to the recognition of States and territorial units and passports, travel and identity documents issued by their authorities. 1. Council Regulation (EC) No 574/1999(5) shall be replaced by this Regulation.2. The final versions of the Common Consular Instruction (CCI) and of the Common Manual (CM), as they result from the Decision of the Schengen Executive Committee of 28 April 1999 (SCH/Com-ex(99) 13) shall be amended as follows:1. the heading of Annex 1, part I of the CCI and of Annex 5, part I of the CM, shall be replaced by the following:""Common list of third countries the nationals of which are subject to the visa requirement imposed by Regulation (EC) No 539/2001"";2. the list in Annex 1, part I of the CCI and in Annex 5, part I of the CM shall be replaced by the list in Annex I to this Regulation;3. the heading of Annex 1, part II of the CCI and of Annex 5, part II of the CM shall be replaced by the following:""Common list of third countries the nationals of which are exempted from the visa requirement by Regulation (EC) No 539/2001"";4. the list in Annex 1, part II of the CCI and in Annex 5, part II of the CM shall be replaced by the list in Annex II to this Regulation;5. part III of Annex 1 to the CCI and part III of Annex 5 of the CM shall be deleted.3. The decisions of the Schengen Executive Committee of 15 December 1997 (SCH/Com-ex(97)32) and of 16 December 1998 (SCH/Com-ex(98)53, rev.2) shall be repealed. 1. This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.2. However, for nationals of the country in Annex II marked with an asterisk, the date of entry into force of Article 1(2) shall be decided on subsequently by the Council, acting in accordance with Article 67(3) of the Treaty, on the basis of the report referred to in the following subparagraph.To this end, the Commission shall request the country concerned to indicate which undertakings it is prepared to enter into on illegal immigration and illegal residence, including the repatriation of persons from that country who are illegally resident, and report thereon to the Council.

This Regulation lays down detailed rules for the control of the conformity with the common marketing standards laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 103/76 for the grading and the weighing of certain species. A lot is to be considered as uniform within the meaning of Articles 7 (1) and 8 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 103/76 if not more than 10 % of the total quantity in the lot falls within the freshness or size category immediately below and/or above that stated for the box or lot in question. When the quantities of a given product landed from a vessel are being graded, the total quantities of the lots considered to be small lots within the meaning of Articles 7 (1) and 8 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 103/76 should not exceed 100 kg of the product in question which are landed from the vessel and are intended to be marketed for a particular sale. However, the competent authorities of the Member States are authorized to fix a quantity less than 100 kg where specific production and marketing conditions require it. Member States shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the grading of the product in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 103/76 cannot be altered when the product is first offered for sale except under the supervision of the competent authorities. To ensure that the contents of standardized boxes are the same as their presumed contents, as provided for in 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 103/76, at least one box in every hundred boxes must be weighed, without prejudice to more restrictive national provisions or commercial rules applied in Member States. The net weight may vary, as provided for in Article 8 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 103/76, by 5 % above or below the weight stated or presumed, subject to more restrictive national provisions on matters of commercial law. 1. The grading of herring or mackerel into the various freshness and size categories on the basis of a sampling system as provided for in Article 8a of Regulation (EEC) No 103/76, shall be carried out in accordance with the procedure laid down in the following paragraphs.2. Samples shall be taken from the quantity to be offered for sale as follows:- a sample of at least 50 kg shall be taken from any quantity less than 50 tonnes,- two samples of at least 50 kg each shall be taken from any quantities between 50 and 100 tonnes,- at least three 50 kg - samples shall be taken from any quantities exceeding 100 tonnes, or as many 50 kg - samples as necessary to give a total quantity of not less than 0,08 % of the quantities concerned.In cases where landings are made by a vessel equipped with fish tanks, samples shall be taken from the contents of each tank, account being taken of the above provisions.3. These samples are taken in such a way as to be representative of the given lot, account being taken of commercial practices applied in this matter, in the Member States.Samples shall be taken in a regular manner, depending on the number of samples to be taken and the total quantity to be offered for sale.4. The quantities to be offered for sale concerned shall then be graded in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 103/76, in the light of the results of the sampling and subject to the following provisions and a visual inspection.If a sample indicates:(a) that the fish examined fall within the same freshness and size category the quantities concerned shall be graded on the basis of this result. Variations in size and in freshness as provided for by Article 2, shall be permitted;(b) that a proportion of the fish examined, representing more than 10 % of the quantity in the sample, falls within category B, the number of the samples to be taken shall be doubled. However, the quantities concerned may not be placed in a category higher than category B;(c) that a proportion of the fish examined do not fulfil the conditions to be marketed for human consumption, the quantities concerned may not be used for this purpose, unless grading in accordance with Articles 6, 7 and 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 103/76 shows that a proportion thereof may be marketed for human consumption. 1. In order to ascertain the weight of the quantities put up for sale and landed the recipient units, or the transport vehicle into which these quantities are loaded, shall be weighed.If such weighing cannot be carried out, the weight of the landed quantities shall be calculated by addition of the contents of the standardized boxes in which the quantities must be landed. However, a supplementary weighing by sample shall be carried out for the standardized boxes.2. If the quantities are presented for public auction in standardized boxes to be marketed for a particular sale, weighing shall be carried out according to the provisions of Article 5.3. The weight of quantities transshipped on board a vessel shall be calculated by applying the coefficients shown in Annex I:- on the one hand, to the volume of the catches taken by each vessel or to the contents of each tank as measured by the appropriate technical means,- on the other hand, to the volume of the quantities transshipped to the processing vessel as measured by means of the recipient approved by the office responsible for weights and measures in the Member State concerned. Within the framework of the sampling system Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure in particular:- that all vessels possess appropriate facilities, and use these facilities for maintaining the quality of the products concerned in accordance with the criteria laid down in Regulation No 103/76,- that, the vessels equipped with fish tanks, the tanks are proprerly cleaned, that the temperature in the tanks is suitable for the keeping of fish end that this temperature can be noted,- that all quantities marketed are recorded, with a breakdown by freshness and size cateogry. Recording shall be based, in the case referred to in Article 7, paragraph 1, on the substantiating documents signed by the skipper of the vessel concerned and by the purchaser and, in the case referred to in Article 7, paragraph 3, on those signed by the skippers of the vessels concerned.

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

The complaint, which was subsequently completed and updated, contained evidence of dumping and material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of microwave ovens corresponding to CN code 8516 50 00 and originating in Japan, the Republic of Singapore and the Republic of Korea and commenced an investigation.(2) The Commission commenced the investigation by seeking from the parties involved, and verifying, the information necessary for the assessment of dumping and injury.(3) On 26 September 1988 the Commission was informed by the complainant that it was withdrawing the complaint because of profound changes in the market place.(4) In these circumstances, the Commission has no reason to consider that termination of the proceeding would not be in the interests of the Community.. The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of microwave ovens originating in Japan, the Republic of Singapore and the Republic of Korea is hereby terminated..

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 833/2003(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), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(6), 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(7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88(8), 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 refund on Gouda cheese for export to Croatia should be abolished as a result of negotiations concluded with that country.(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,.

This is reflected in the objectives outlined below which are shared by the two programmes, STEP (Science and technology for environmental protection) and Epoch (European programme on climatology and natural hazards).The criteria against which the programmes should be evaluated should reflect these objectives and the wider objectives of the Framework Programme.1.An important objective of the two programmes is the provision of scientific and technical support for the environmental policy of the Community, and for other relevant Community policies such as energy, agriculture, industry, aid to developing countries, both for the solution of short term policy questions and for the medium and long-term formulation of preventive and anticipatory policies.Taking into account the general goals of the separate research areas of the programmes, the evaluation criteria should consist of the following:-the scientific and technical progress made, contributing to the solution of short term policy questions,-the advances in the understanding of environmental processes as a basis for the medium and long term formulation of preventive and anticipatory policies,-the contribution to the definition of norms and standards.2.A further objective is the continued improvement of the productivity of the overall research effort in the Community, the reduction of overlaps and the identification of gaps, through the coordination of the national R & D programmes in the field of environmental research.The coordination of national R & D programmes will be evaluated by criteria such as:-the added value due to coordination which was not obtainable in one national programme alone,-the division of research tasks between national programmes as a result of coordination.3.A third objective of the programmes would be to promote scientific excellence in the field of environmental research and to contribute to:-the strengthening of the economic and social cohesion of the Community,-the strengthening of industrial competitivity within the Community.The objective set out in the first indent will be evaluated by criteria such as:-the degree of transnationality of the research projects, and in particular the extent of involvement in the programmes of scientists from all Member States, the degree of technology transfer achieved as well as the joint and more efficient use of scientific facilities,-the participation in training and educational activities,-the application of the results obtained, to regions of the Community other than those where the research was conducted,-the quality of environmental research as measured by suitable bibliometric studies.In respect of the second indent of the first paragraph, the evaluation should attempt to determine:-the extent to which the projects were selected against measurable industrial criteria,-the extent to which industry has benefited from the work supported.ANNEX II CONTENT OF THE PROGRAMMES AND INDICATIVE ALLOCATION OF

The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.(3) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2993/95(6), on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.(4) The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.(5) There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time.(6) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for certain products according to destination.(7) The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.(8) Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinized starch, no export refund is to be granted.(9) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,.

For sedaxane the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2011/123/EU (3).(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC France received on 14 June 2010 an application from Syngenta Crop Protection AG for the inclusion of the active substance sedaxane in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2011/123/EU confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 10 May 2011.(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance sedaxane (4) on 6 July 2012.(5) In November 2012, the Commission requested further toxicological assessment from the Authority. The rapporteur Member State submitted an addendum to its draft assessment report. The Authority updated its conclusion and undertook a final consultation with the Member States.(6) The Authority presented to the Commission its updated conclusion on the review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance sedaxane (5) on 18 December 2012. The draft assessment report and the updated conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and the draft assessment report was finalised on 16 July 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for sedaxane.(7) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing sedaxane may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve sedaxane.(8) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions.(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.(10) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing sedaxane. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.(11) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (6) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.(12) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (7) should be amended accordingly.(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Approval of active substanceThe active substance sedaxane, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. Re-evaluation of plant protection products1.   Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing sedaxane as an active substance by 31 July 2014.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing sedaxane as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 January 2014 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing sedaxane as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 July 2015 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing sedaxane as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 July 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest.

The plan includes the information listed in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the other Financial Instruments proposed for implementing the plan.(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.(6) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.(7) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.(8) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing Financial Instruments.(9) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.(10) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,. The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the Autonomous Province of Trento in Italy eligible under Objective 2 and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5b for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved. 1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of Italy.The priorities are as follows:- support for the development of local economic, social and productive systems,- exploitation and preservation of assets and natural resources and assistance for the improvement and protection of the environment,- technical assistance;(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund, where relevant from the EIB, and from the other financial instruments, including, for information, the total amount from the EAGGF Guarantee Section and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support in respect of Objectives 2 and 5b and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;(e) the ex ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows.2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 56261411 for the whole period and the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 16878422.The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 39382989 from the public sector can be partly met by Community loans from the EIB and other lending instruments. 1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 16878422. The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.2.>TABLE>3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period, up to a maximum of EUR 30 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1. This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 [now Arrticles 87 and 88] to certain categories of horizontal State aid(2). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Article 38(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission. The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 24 November 2000. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008.

Despite the abolition of the compensation system for storage costs from the 2001/02 year, sugar carried over in accordance with Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 must be stored for a 12-month period. To ensure a harmonious transition to the new arrangements, transitional measures should be laid down allowing the continued reimbursement of storage costs after 30 June 2001 for sugar carried over from the 2000/01 marketing year to the 2001/02 marketing year, until the end of the compulsory storage period in question.(4) To ensure that the sugar sector is self-financing, provision should be made for the reimbursements granted after 30 June 2001 under this Regulation to be taken into account in the balance remaining form the application of the compensation system for storage costs referred to in the first paragraph of Article 48 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.(5) In view of the fact that the termination of the compensation system for storage costs for sugar provided for in the first paragraph of Article 48 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 has resulted in a large, positive balance sufficient to cover the reimbursement of storage costs under this Regulation, there is no need to fix a storage levy.(6) These measures should be applied with effect from 1 July 2001 so as not to disrupt the proper working of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,. 1. Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999, Regulation (EEC) No 1358/77 and Regulation (EEC) No 1998/78 shall continue to apply to sugar carried over by producer undertakings in the 2000/01 marketing year to the 2001/02 marketing year pursuant to Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999.2. The reimbursement for this sugar shall be EUR 0,33 per 100 kilograms of white sugar per month.3. The reimbursement shall be paid for each month that the sugar remains in storage, until the end of the consecutive 12-month compulsory storage period referred to in Article 32(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999. The reimbursements granted under this Regulation shall be taken into account in establishing the balance remaining from the application of the compensation system for storage costs referred to in the first paragraph of Article 48 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.

The standard conditions under which the ECB and the NCBs stand ready to enter into credit operations, including the criteria determining the eligibility of collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem credit operations, are laid down in Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14 of 20 September 2011 on monetary policy instruments and procedures of the Eurosystem (1).(2) Pursuant to Section 1.6 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, the Governing Council may, at any time, change the instruments, conditions, criteria and procedures for the execution of Eurosystem monetary policy operations.(3) To facilitate the provision of liquidity to counterparties for Eurosystem monetary policy operations, on 6 September 2012, the Governing Council decided to temporarily widen the criteria determining the eligibility of assets to be used as collateral in Eurosystem monetary policy operations by accepting marketable debt instruments denominated in pounds sterling, yen or US dollars as eligible assets for monetary policy operations. On 10 October 2012, the Governing Council decision was implemented by Guideline ECB/2012/23 (2) which amended Guideline ECB/2012/18 of 2 August 2012 on additional temporary measures relating to Eurosystem refinancing operations and eligibility of collateral and amending Guideline ECB/2007/9 (3).(4) On 26 November 2012, the Governing Council adopted Guideline ECB/2012/25 amending Guideline ECB/2011/14 on monetary policy instruments and procedures of the Eurosystem (4). One reason for the amendment was to list the coupon structures of marketable debt instruments accepted under the Eurosystem monetary policy framework.(5) Some foreign currency denominated marketable debt instruments currently eligible pursuant to Article 5a of Guideline ECB/2012/18 have flat floating coupons linked to an index corresponding to a money market rate related to their currency of denomination. These instruments would become ineligible as from 3 January 2013, the date from which the latest amendments to Guideline ECB/2011/14 will start to apply. However, the Governing Council considers that marketable debt instruments denominated in a foreign currency should retain their temporary eligibility as collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy operations, irrespective of whether their coupons are linked to a non-euro interest rate or to non-euro area inflation indices. For this reason, the Governing Council has decided to suspend the specific provision of such Guideline ECB/2011/14 that would prevent the continued eligibility of such assets.(6) The additional measures set out in this Decision should apply temporarily, until the Governing Council considers that they are no longer necessary, to ensure an appropriate monetary policy transmission mechanism,. Suspension of certain provisions of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/141.   The Eurosystem minimum eligibility criteria for coupons, as specified in Section 6.2.1.1(1)(b) of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, shall be suspended for marketable debt instruments denominated in foreign currency in accordance with Article 2.2.   In the event of any discrepancy between this Decision and Guideline ECB/2011/14, as implemented at national level by the NCBs, the former shall prevail.3.   In the event of any discrepancy between this Decision and Guideline ECB/2012/18, as implemented at national level by the NCBs, the former shall prevail.4.   The NCBs shall continue to apply all provisions of Guideline ECB/2011/14 and Guideline ECB/2012/18 unless otherwise provided for in this Decision. Continued eligibility as collateral of certain assets denominated in pounds sterling, yen or US dollars1.   Eligible marketable debt instruments under Article 5a of Guideline ECB/2012/18 with coupons linked to only one money market rate in their currency of denomination or to an inflation index containing no discrete range, range accrual, ratchet or similar complex structures for the respective country shall be eligible for the purposes of Eurosystem monetary policy operations.2.   The ECB may publish a list of further acceptable benchmark foreign currency interest rates in addition to those referred to in paragraph 1 on its website at www.ecb.europa.eu, following approval by the Governing Council.

The area in question covers 778 km2 and has a population of 48 873 (density of 62 inhabitants/km2). It is primarily a hilly area. // // Lake Trasimeno has a very sensitive eco-system since virtually all the water flowing into it is rainwater. Consequently, conservation of its biological state is linked closely to water management in the surrounding area. It is important therefore to bear in mind the particularly sensitive ecology of this area, which is also covered by Council Directive 79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds (1). // // The lake also represents a key resource for the local economy (especially agriculture and tourism) and, as a result, its conservation is becoming a priority economic objective for the area. // // The working population is made up of 19 561 persons. // // A total of 1 110 individuals are seeking employment for the first time. // // The unemployment rate is 8,6 %. // // Breakdown of employment: 1.2 // - agriculture // 15,9 %, // - industry // 46,4 %, // - services // 37,7 %. 1.2 // // Average per capita disposable income is put at Lit 6,02 million. // 2.1. // Agriculture // // The total area given over to agriculture is 54 200 ha and there is an UAA of 35 615 ha. The main crops at the moment are: 1.2 // Cereals: // 22 261 ha // Vegetables: // 4 000 ha // Olives and Wine: // 7 923 ha // Woodland and forests: // 14 814 ha // Meadows and pastures: // 5 431 ha 1.2 // // The size of the average holding is 8 ha. // // Almost all the holdings are owner-occupied. // // Part-time farming is fairly widespread. // // Intensive production of vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, tobacco) is expanding as the area under irrigation increases. // // Stock-farming is declining (7 965 head of cattle in 1982). The number of sheep and goats is 15 347. Pig and poultry farming are now being practised on an industrial scale and are undergoing continuous expansion, thereby giving rise to problems of compatibility with the protection of the environment. // // Fishing is carried on by seven cooperatives with 240 members. This sector is experiencing difficulties owing to depletion of fish stocks and outdated fishing methods. // 2.2. // Craft industry and small and medium-sized enterprises // // The most prominent sectors in the area are clothing and mechanical engineering. They are characterized by small firms some of which are family based.

The quantitative restrictions on imports into Portugal from third countries of the products referred to in Annex XXVI of the Act shall consist of annual quotas made available without discrimination to economic operators.2. The original quota for 1986 for each product, expressed, as appropriate, in volume or, in exceptional cases, in ECU, shall be fixed:- either at a percentage of annual average Portuguese production in the three years preceding accession for which statistics are available; the percentage for each product being fixed in Annex I to this Regulation,- or at the average of Portuguese imports in the three years preceding accession for which statistics are available, where the latter criterion yields the higher volume or amount.However, in respect of the products referred to in Annex II to this Regulation,- the first indent of the first subparagraph shall not apply;- where the effect of the second indent of the first subparagraph would be the establishment of an original quota of zero, this quota shall be at least 10 % of the original quota fixed for the same products from the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985.3. The minimum rate of increase in the quotas shall be fixed, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 3 (1), at least in respect of each year of the second stage.The minimum rate of increase may vary, in particular according to product.The minimum rate of increase shall be fixed taking into account:- the patterns of trade,- the state of bilateral or multilateral negotiations.4.

whereas this necessitates the establishment of complete, reliable and comparable statistical sources at national and regional level; whereas the levels of breakdown to be applied to the variables are limited to what is necessary to ensure comparability with previous surveys and compatibility with national accounts requirements;Whereas the statistical information available in each Member State does not provide a valid basis for comparisons, in particular because of the differences between laws, regulations and administrative practices of the Member States; whereas Community statistics must therefore be produced and the results processed on the basis of common definitions and harmonized methodologies;Whereas, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the creation of common statistical standards enabling harmonized information to be produced is a proposed action the objectives of which can, by reason of its scale or effects be better achieved by the Community; whereas these standards will be implemented in each Member State on the authority of the agencies and institutions appointed to compile official statistics;Whereas, pursuant to Council Decision No 93/464/EEC of 22 July 1993 on the framework programme for priority actions in the field of statistical information 1993 to 1997 (3), the production of Community statistics on labour costs is one of the priority actions of the statistical programme 1993 to 1997;Whereas it may be acceptable for the countries which have administrative sources or other appropriate statistical sources to use these or perhaps link them up with a simplified questionnaire if this method is compatible with the definitions and methods approved and corresponds to the whole set of variables required;Whereas it is necessary to simplify the administrative procedures for enterprises, particularly smaller and medium-sized enterprises, including the promotion of new technologies for data collection and compilation; whereas it may still be necessary to collect directly from enterprises the data necessary to compile labour cost statistics, using methods that are exhaustive, reliable and up to date, without giving rise for the parties concerned, in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises, to a burden out of proportion to the results which the users of the said statistics can reasonably expect;Whereas it seems appropriate to make provisions for exceptions for certain Member States, in order to take account of particular technical difficulties encountered by such States on the collection of certain types of information, provided that the quality of the statistical information is not affected;Whereas the Committee on the Statistical Programmes of the European Communities established by Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom (4), consulted by the Commission in accordance with Article 3 of the aforesaid Decision, has declared itself in favour of the present proposal,. General provisionsThe Member States and the Commission, within their respective fields of competencies, shall produce Community statistics on the level and structure of employers' labour costs in the area of economic activities defined in Article 3. Reference periodThe statistics shall be produced on the basis of statistical information for the financial year of 1996, subject to the special provisions mentioned in the Annex to this Regulation. ScopeThe statistics shall cover all economic activities defined in sections C (Mining and quarrying), D (Manufacturing), E (Electricity, gas and water supply), F (Construction), G (Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles, motorcycles and personal and household goods), H (Hotels and restaurants), group 63.3 (Activities of travel agencies and tour operators; tourist assistance activities not elsewhere covered) of section I (Transport, storage and communications), divisions 65 (Financial intermediation, except insurance and pension funding) and 66 (Insurance and pension funding, except compulsory social security) of section J (Financial intermediation) and section K (Real estate, renting and business activities) of the general industrial classification of economic activities in the European Community, hereinafter referred to as ‘NACE Rev. 1’ established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3037/90 of 9 October 1990 on the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community (5), subject to the special provisions mentioned in the Annex to this Regulation. Information requirementsThe compilation of statistics on labour costs shall be based on any of the statistical units defined in Council Regulation (EEC) No 696/93 of 15 March 1993 on the statistical units for the observation and analysis of the production system in the Community (6) and shall provide information referring to local units classified by their own principal activity, by region at least at level 1 of the nomenclature of territorial units for statistics (NUTS 1), established by the Commission and by size class in terms of employment of the enterprise on which the local units are dependent. Information is required only for enterprises with at least 10 persons occupied. Information requiredData shall be collected on:1. total labour costs, including: compensation of employees; vocational training costs; other expenditure, taxes and subsidies directly related to labour costs;2. the total staff employed3. working time,subject to the special provisions mentioned in the Annex to this Regulation. Data collection1.   A survey shall be carried out through the appropriate statistical services of the Member States which shall draw up the appropriate methods for collecting the information.2.   Employers and other persons required to supply information shall reply to the questions truthfully, completely and within the time limits set. The Member States shall take appropriate measures to avoid any infringement of the obligation to supply the information referred to in Article 5.3.   The survey need not be carried out if the Member States have information from other appropriate sources or Member States are able to produce estimates of necessary data using statistical inference methods where some or all of the characteristics have not been observed for all the units for which the statistics are to be compiled. The information from other appropriate sources or the estimates of necessary data can only be used if they are at least equivalent to survey requirements as regards accuracy, quality and timeliness.4.   The burden on enterprises, particularly on small and medium-sized enterprises, and representativeness requirements according to Article 7 shall be taken into account by the Member States in their choice and combination of the sources and the use of estimates referred to in paragraph 3.5.   The Member States shall transmit to the Commission at its request all information, particularly concerning methodologies, needed for the application of this Regulation, and in particular, in cases where data are derived from administrative sources, all the information necessary for the evaluation of their reliability and comparability. RepresentativenessThe reliability and comparability on a high quality level shall be attained by the use of sample sizes allowing that the relative standard error for the variable ‘hourly labour costs’ by division of NACE Rev. 1 does not exceed 3 %. Processing of resultsThe statistical services of the Member States shall process the replies to the questions referred to in Article 6 (2) or the information from other sources, as referred to in Article 6 (3), so as to obtain comparable results. Transmission of resultsThe results shall be transmitted within a period of 18 months from the end of the calendar year corresponding to the reference period, including confidential data, in accordance with Council Regulation (Euratom, EEC) No 1588/90 of 15 June 1990 on the transmission of data subject to statistical confidentiality to the Statistical Office of the European Communities (7). 0Arrangements for implementationThe arrangements for implementing this Regulation, in particular:— definitions to be used,— the levels of breakdown to be applied to the variables,— guidelines on accuracy and the aspects of quality,— the appropriate forms of the transmitted variables— the results to be transmittedshall be laid down in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 11. 1ProcedureThe Commission shall be assisted by the Committee on the Statistical Programmes of the European Communities, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Committee’.The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Committee a draft of the measures to be taken.

Measures to facilitate the transfer of cargo and passenger ships within the Community are also required to reduce the costs and administrative procedures involved in a change of register within the Community, thereby improving the operating conditions and the competitive position of Community shipping.(2) It is necessary, at the same time, to safeguard a high level of ship safety and environmental protection, in compliance with International Conventions.(3) The requirements set out in the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of life at Sea (1974 SOLAS), the 1966 International Convention on Load Lines (LL 1966) and the 1973 International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, as amended by the 1978 Protocol (MARPOL 73/78) provide for a high level of ship safety and environmental protection. The International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969 provides for a uniform system for the measurement of the tonnage of merchant ships.(4) The international regime applicable to passenger ships has been strengthened and refined through the adoption of a considerable number of amendments to 1974 SOLAS by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and an increased convergence of the interpretations of the 1974 SOLAS rules and standards.(5) The transfer of cargo and passenger ships flying the flag of a Member State between the registers of Member States should not be impeded by technical barriers, provided that the ships have been certified as complying with the provisions of relevant international Conventions by Member States or, on their behalf, by the organisations recognised under Council Directive 94/57/EC of 22 November 1994, on common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organisations and for the relevant activities of maritime administrations [3].(6) A Member State receiving a ship should however remain able to apply rules which differ in scope and nature from those referred to in the Conventions listed in Article 2(a).(7) In order to ensure a prompt and informed decision by the Member State of the receiving register, the Member State of the losing register should provide it with all relevant available information on the ship's condition and equipment. The Member State of the receiving register should, nevertheless, be able to subject the ship to an inspection to confirm its condition and equipment.(8) Ships which have been refused access to Member States' ports under Council Directive 95/21/EC of 19 June 1995, concerning the enforcement, in respect of shipping using Community ports and sailing in the waters under the jurisdiction of the Member States, of international standards for ship safety, pollution prevention and shipboard living and working conditions (port State control) [4] or which have been detained more than once following an inspection in the port during the three years preceding the application for registration should not be able to benefit from the possibility of being transferred under the simplified system to another register within the Community.(9) Relevant International Conventions leave important points of interpretation of the requirements to the discretion of the Parties. On the basis of their own interpretation, Member States issue to all ships flying their flags, that are subject to the provisions of relevant International Conventions, certificates certifying their compliance with these provisions. Member States enforce national technical regulations, some provisions of which contain requirements other than those in the Conventions and in associated technical standards. An appropriate procedure should therefore be established in order to reconcile divergences in the interpretation of existing requirements which may occur upon a request for transfer of register.(10) In order to enable the implementation of this Regulation to be monitored, Member States should provide the Commission with succinct yearly reports. In the first yearly report Member States should identify any measures taken to facilitate the implementation of this Regulation.(11) The provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 613/91 of 4 March 1991 on the transfer of ships from one register to another within the Community [5], are significantly reinforced and extended by this Regulation. Regulation (EEC) No 613/91 should therefore be repealed.(12) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation 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],. PurposeThe purpose of this Regulation is to eliminate technical barriers to the transfer of cargo and passenger ships flying the flag of a Member State between the registers of the Member States while, at the same time, ensuring a high level of ship safety and environmental protection, in accordance with International Conventions. DefinitionsFor the purposes of this Regulation:""Conventions"" means the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (1974 SOLAS), the 1966 International Convention on Load Lines (LL 66), the 1969 International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, and the 1973 International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, as amended by the 1978 Protocol relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78), in their up-to-date versions, and related codes of mandatory status adopted in the framework of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), together with Protocols and amendments thereto in their up-to-date versions;""Requirements"" means the safety, security and pollution-prevention requirements relating to the construction and equipment of ships laid down in the Conventions and, for passenger ships engaged on domestic voyages, those set out in Council Directive 98/18/EC of 17 March 1998 on safety rules and standards for passenger ships [7];""Certificates"" means certificates, documents and statements of compliance issued by a Member State or by a recognised organisation on its behalf in accordance with the Conventions, and for passenger ships engaged on domestic voyages, those issued in accordance with Article 11 of Directive 98/18/EC;""Passenger ship"" means a ship carrying more than twelve passengers;(i) the master and the members of the crew or other persons employed or engaged in any capacity on board a ship on the business of that ship; and(ii) a child under one year of age;""Domestic voyage"" means a voyage in sea areas from a port of a Member State to the same or another port within that Member State;""International voyage"" means a voyage by sea from a port of a Member State to a port outside that Member State, or conversely;""Cargo ship"" means a ship which is not a passenger ship;""Recognised organisation"" means an organisation recognised in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 94/57/EC.

Member States shall nevertheless give due and timely consideration to applications in respect of such ships;(c) ships of war or troopships, or other ships owned or operated by a Member State and used only on government non-commercial service;(d) ships not propelled by mechanical means, wooden ships of primitive build, pleasure yachts not engaged in trade or a fishing vessel;(e) cargo ships of less than 500 gross tonnage. Transfer of register1. A Member State shall not withhold from registration, for technical reasons arising from the Conventions, a ship registered in another Member State which complies with the requirements and carries valid certificates and equipment approved or type-approved in accordance with Council Directive 96/98/EC of 20 December 1996 on marine equipment [8].In order to fulfil their obligations under regional environmental instruments ratified before 1 January 1992, Member States may impose additional rules in accordance with the optional Annexes to the Conventions.2. This Article shall apply without prejudice, where applicable, to any specific requirements laid down for the operation of a ship under Article 7 of Directive 98/18/EC and Article 6 of Directive 2003/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 April 2003 on specific stability requirements for ro-ro passenger ships [9].3. Upon receiving the request for transfer, the Member State of the losing register shall provide the Member State of the receiving register, or make available to the recognised organisation acting on its behalf, all relevant information on the ship, in particular, on her condition and equipment. This information shall contain the history file of the vessel and, if applicable, a list of the improvements required by the losing register for registering the ship or renewing her certificates and of overdue surveys. The information shall include all the certificates and particulars of the ship as required by the Conventions and relevant Community instruments as well as Flag State inspection and Port State control records. The Member States shall cooperate to ensure proper implementation of this paragraph.4. Before registering a ship, the Member State of the receiving register, or the recognised organisation acting on its behalf, may subject the ship to an inspection to confirm that the actual condition of the ship and her equipment correspond to the certificates referred to in Article 3. The inspection shall be performed within a reasonable time frame.5. If, following the inspection and having given the ship owner a reasonable opportunity to rectify any deficiencies, the Member State of the receiving register, or the recognised organisation acting on its behalf, is unable to confirm correspondence with the certificates, it shall notify the Commission in accordance with Article 6(1). Certificates1. Upon the transfer and without prejudice to Directive 94/57/EC, the Member State of the receiving register, or the recognised organisation acting on its behalf, shall issue certificates to the ship under the same conditions as those under the flag of the Member State of the losing register, provided the reasons or the grounds on the basis of which the Member State of the losing register imposed any condition or granted any exemption or waiver continue to apply.2. At the time of renewal, extension or revision of the certificates, the Member State of the receiving register, or the recognised organisation acting on its behalf, shall not impose requirements other than those initially prescribed for the full-term certificates insofar as requirements for existing ships and conditions remain unchanged. Refusal of transfer and interpretation1. The Member State of the receiving register shall immediately notify the Commission of any refusal to issue, or to authorise the issuing of, new certificates to a ship for reasons based on divergences of interpretation of the requirements or of the provisions which the Conventions or relevant Community instruments leave to the discretion of the Parties.Unless the Commission is informed of an agreement between the Member States concerned within one month, it shall initiate proceedings in order to take a decision in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 7(2).2. Where a Member State considers that a ship cannot be registered under Article 4 for reasons relating to serious danger to safety, security or to the environment, other than those referred to in paragraph 1, registration may be suspended.The Member State shall immediately bring the matter to the attention of the Commission, stating the reasons for the suspension of the registration. The decision not to register the ship shall be confirmed or not in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 7(2).3. The Commission may consult the Committee referred to in Article 7 on any matter related to the interpretation and implementation of this Regulation, in particular in order to ensure that standards of safety, security and environmental protection are not reduced.

PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND(1) On 7 June 2001 the Federation of the French Condiment Industries (FICF) lodged a complaint pursuant to Article 4 of the Regulation.(2) FICF alleged that Community exports of prepared mustard to the United States of America are hindered by an obstacle to trade within the meaning of Article 2(1) of the Regulation.(3) The alleged obstacle to trade was constituted by the United States decision to apply the suspension of trade concessions imposed on prepared mustard, following the Hormones Case, only to exports originating in certain Community Member States (the United Kingdom is included).(4) The Commission decided, after consultation of the Advisory Committee established by the Regulation, that the complaint contained sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of an examination procedure. Consequently, an examination procedure was initiated on 1 August 2001(3).B. FINDINGS OF THE INVESTIGATION(5) Article 1 of the Regulation states that ""this Regulation establishes Community procedures in the field of the common commercial policy in order to ensure the exercise of the Community's rights under international trade rules [...] which [...] are aimed at: (a) [...]; (b) responding to obstacles to trade that have an effect on the market of a third country, with a view to removing the adverse trade effects resulting therefrom"". Furthermore, Article 4(1) of the Regulation provides that a written complaint may be lodged by Community enterprises that are considered to ""have suffered adverse trade effects as a result of obstacles to trade that have an effect on the market of a third country"".(6) The examination procedure led to the conclusion that the alleged adverse trade effects do not appear to stem from the obstacle to trade claimed in the complaint, i.e. the United States of America practice of applying withdrawal of concessions selectively against some but not all the Member States (selective sanctioning). In fact, the investigation did not provide any evidence of the fact that making the suspension of concessions also applicable to the United Kingdom would result in greater export opportunities for the complainant for prepared mustard to the United States market. Therefore, no adverse trade effect, as defined in the Regulation, can be attributed to the obstacle to trade claimed by the complaint, other than the trade effects resulting from the suspension of concessions which are authorised and lawfully applied by the United States of America under the WTO Agreement. Therefore, in accordance with Article 11, the examination procedure has demonstrated that the interests of the Community do not require that a specific action be taken against the alleged obstacle to trade under the Regulation.C. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS(7) The examination procedure did not provide sufficient evidence that the interests of the Community require a specific action to be taken under the Regulation against the adverse trade effects produced by the alleged obstacle to trade. The examination procedure should therefore be terminated.(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Advisory Committee established by the Regulation.. The examination procedure concerning obstacles to trade, within the meaning of the Regulation, consisting of trade practices maintained by the United States of America in relation to imports of prepared mustard initiated on 1 August 2001 is hereby terminated..

On 16 January 2012 Kenya submitted additional information to its request. According to the information provided by Kenya, catches of raw originating tuna are unusually low even compared to the normal seasonal variations which has led to a decrease in production of tuna loins. Kenya has pointed out the risk involved due to piracy during the supply of raw tuna. This abnormal situation still makes it impossible for Kenya to comply with the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 during a certain period. A new derogation should be granted with effect from 1 January 2012.(3) Implementing Decision 2011/861/EU applied until 31 December 2011. It is necessary to ensure continuity of importations from the ACP countries to the Union as well as a smooth transition to the Interim Economic Partnership Agreement between the East African Community on the one part and the European Community and its Member States on the other part (‘EAC-EU Interim Economic Partnership Agreement’). Implementing Decision 2011/861/EU should therefore be extended from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2013.(4) It would be inappropriate to grant derogations in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 which exceed the annual quota granted to the territory of the East African Community under the EAC-EU Interim Economic Partnership Agreement. The quota amounts for 2012 and 2013 should therefore be set at 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins yearly.(5) In the interest of clarity, it is appropriate to set out explicitly that the only non-originating materials to be used for the manufacture of tuna loins of CN code 1604 14 16 should be tuna of HS Headings 0302 or 0303, in order for the tuna loins to benefit from the derogation.(6) Implementing Decision 2011/861/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,. Implementing Decision 2011/861/EU is amended as follows:(1) Article 1 is replaced by the following:(2) Article 2 is replaced by the following:(3) Article 6 is replaced by the following:(4) The Annex is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.

In the framework of clearing the accounts, for the purpose of aligning the reference period for EAFRD expenditure with that of the EAGF, account should be taken for the 2011 financial year of expenditure incurred by the Member States between 16 October 2010 and 15 October 2011.(3) The second subparagraph of Article 10(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 885/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the accreditation of paying agencies and other bodies and the clearance of the accounts of the EAGF and of the EAFRD (3) lays down that the amounts that are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State, in accordance with the accounts clearance decision referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 10(1) of the said Regulation, shall be established by deducting the intermediate payments in respect of the financial year concerned from the expenditure recognised for the same year in accordance with paragraph 1. The Commission shall deduct that amount from or add it to the following intermediate payment.(4) The Commission has checked the information submitted by the Member States and it has communicated to the Member States before 31 March 2012 the results of its verifications, along with the necessary amendments.(5) The annual accounts and the accompanying documents permit the Commission to take, for certain paying agencies, a decision on the completeness, accuracy and veracity of the annual accounts submitted. Annex I lists the amounts cleared by Member States and the amounts to be recovered from or paid to the Member States.(6) The information submitted by certain other paying agencies requires additional inquiries and their accounts cannot be cleared in this Decision. Annex II lists the paying agencies concerned.(7) Pursuant to Article 33(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, 50 % of the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities shall be borne by the Member State concerned if the recovery of those irregularities has not taken place prior to the closure of a rural development programme within four years of the primary administrative or judicial finding, or within eight years if the recovery is taken to the national courts, or on the closure of the programme if those deadlines expire prior such closure. Article 33(4) of the said Regulation obliges Member States to submit to the Commission, together with the annual accounts, a summary report on the recovery procedures undertaken in response to irregularities. Detailed rules on the application of the Member States’ reporting obligation of the amounts to be recovered are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 885/2006. Annex III to the said Regulation provides the table that had to be provided in 2012 by the Member States. On the basis of the tables completed by the Member States, the Commission should decide on the financial consequences of non-recovery of irregularities older than four or eight years respectively. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 33(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005.(8) Pursuant to Article 33(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, after closure of a rural development programme Member States may decide not to pursue recovery. Such a decision may only be taken if the costs already and likely to be incurred total more than the amount to be recovered or if the recovery proves impossible owing to the insolvency, recorded and recognised under national law, of the debtor or the persons legally responsible for the irregularity. If that decision has been taken within four years of the primary administrative or judicial finding, or within eight years if the recovery is taken to the national courts, 100 % of the financial consequences of the non-recovery should be borne by the EU budget. In the summary report referred to in Article 33(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 the amounts for which the Member State decided not to pursue recovery and the grounds for the decision are shown. These amounts are not charged to the Member States concerned and are consequently to be borne by the EU budget. This decision is without prejudice to future conformity decisions pursuant to Article 33(5) of the said Regulation.(9) In accordance with Article 30(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, this Decision, does not prejudice decisions taken subsequently by the Commission excluding from European Union financing expenditure not effected in accordance with European Union rules,. With the exception of the paying agencies referred to in Article 2, the accounts of the paying agencies of the Member States concerning expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) in respect of the 2011 financial year, are hereby cleared.The amounts which are recoverable from, or payable to, each Member State under each rural development programme pursuant to this Decision, including those resulting from the application of Article 33(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, are set out in Annex I.

whereas the copper scrap market in particular is characterised by scarcity and is, consequently, highly competitive and inelastic on the supply side; whereas the Community industry is facing a significant decline in its room for manoeuvre in relation to the amount of financial return it can expect from refining copper from scrap metal;(2) Whereas exports of copper scrap were subject, until 1990, to production of a prior export licence to be issued by the appropriate authorities of the Member States; whereas, since then, no similar arrangement has been in force;(3) Whereas the difficulties of the Community industry in finding access to secondary copper raw materials started to increase following the lifting of that commercial policy measure;(4) Whereas the Community industry claims that those difficulties are due to overbidding practices on the Community and world markets, mainly by Chinese, Indian and South Korean buyers, which are rendered possible by the differentiated tariff structure of those countries; whereas it submitted to the Commission information designed to demonstrate the existence of those practices;(5) Whereas the existence of alternative sources of supply, in particular in eastern Europe, is likely to be short term as local industry increases demand and national authorities reinforce controls and export restrictions;(6) Whereas, following receipt of the information provided by the Community industry, the Commission launched an examination concerning the conditions under which the international and Community copper scrap supply markets are operating by a notice published (3) in the Official Journal of the European Communities; whereas this examination has shown that the tariff differentiation applicable in India, South Korea and the People's Republic of China between secondary copper raw materials and refined copper appears to be likely to confer a competitive advantage on those countries' producers and to disrupt copper scrap supply markets;(7) Whereas, however, there does not appear to be any violation by the countries concerned of international trade rules, whether multilateral or laid down in bilateral agreements; whereas the Chinese tariff structure is the subject of ongoing negotiations in the perspective of future accession of the People's Republic of China to the World Trade Organisation;(8) Whereas bilateral consultations with Indian and South Korean authorities are ongoing or will be started as soon as possible in order to find a mutually acceptable solution to this problem;(9) Whereas, in parallel with those consultations, it is desirable to follow closely the trend of exports of the products concerned; whereas an a posteriori monitoring system should be put in place in order to gather more specific information with a view to assessing the possible causal link between the abovementioned tariff policies and the adverse effects on the Community industry; whereas such a system would achieve the twofold objective of providing the Commission with a deeper insight into the market in question in the shortest possible time as well as sending to the third countries' authorities and to the Community industry involved a signal on the importance attached by the Community to this matter;(10) Whereas a duration of two years seems to be the most appropriate for getting a comprehensive and reliable picture of the market trends; whereas the system envisaged would be simple to adopt and to administer and it would not impose any extra burdens on Community exporters or require them to provide any information additional to that which they are already required to provide,.

,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,Whereas:(1) For various Member States, the maximum amount of the compensatory aid resulting from the rates for converting the euro into national currency units and the exchange rates applicable on 1 or 3 January 1999 is laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 755/1999(2).(2) The maximum amount of compensatory aid resulting from the conversion rates applicable on 1 or 2 January 2000 have been set for Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom by Commission Regulation (EC) No 801/2000(3).(3) Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 provides that the maximum amounts paid out under the second and third tranches are to be reduced vis-Ă -vis the level of the previous tranche, by at least a third of the amount paid out in the first tranche, while Article 5(4) of that Regulation provides that the maximum amount of compensatory aid must be reduced or cancelled if necessary as a function of the effect on income of the development of the exchange rates recorded on the first day of the second and third tranche.(4) The conversion rates applicable to certain direct aids whose operative event is 31 December 2000 or 1 January 2001 are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 408/2001(4). The rates laid down for the Danish krone and the Swedish krona indicate a depreciation of those currencies.(5) A further reduction should therefore be applied to the maximum amount of the compensatory aid linked to the operative events in 1999 while the maximum amount of compensatory aid linked to the operative events in 2000 should be abolished in the case of Denmark. A further reduction should also be applied to the maximum amount of compensatory aid linked to the operative events in 2000 in the case of Sweden.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of the Management Committees concerned,. In the case of the measures whose operative event falls on 1 January 1999, the amounts of compensatory aid for Denmark contained in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 755/1999 shall be multiplied by a factor of 0,9152.In the case of the measures whose operative event falls on 3 January 1999, the amounts of compensatory aid for Denmark contained in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 755/1999 shall be multiplied by a factor of 0,9168. The compensatory aid amounts for Denmark contained in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 801/2000 are hereby deleted. In the case of the measures whose operative event falls on 1 January 2000, the amounts of compensatory aid for Sweden contained in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 801/2000 shall be multiplied by a factor of 0,8378.In the case of the measures whose operative event falls on 2 January 2000, the amounts of compensatory aid for Sweden contained in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 801/2000 shall be multiplied by a factor of 0,8462.

Background(1) In September 1994, following a review, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 2271/94 (2), amended the definitive countervailing duty imposed on imports of ball bearings with a greatest external diameter not exceeding 30 mm, originating in Thailand but exported to the Community from another country, from 6,7 % to 5,3 %.(2) The 6,7 % countervailing duty had been imposed in July 1993 by Regulation (EEC) No 1781/93 (3), following a review of Commission Decision 90/266/EEC (4), accepting an undertaking offered by the Royal Thai Government, in connection with the countervailing duty proceeding concerning imports of the abovementioned ball bearings. This involved the Royal Thai Government levying an export tax to offset the subsidies granted. No countervailing duty was imposed at the time of adoption of this Decision. The review investigation revealed, however, that a duty was necessary in order to prevent indirect imports into the Community avoiding the export tax levied by the Royal Thai Government on direct imports and to safeguard the effectiveness of the undertaking.(3) The amended definitive duty rate of 5,3 % on indirect imports, posed by Regulation (EC) No 2271/94, was based on the revised rate of export tax of 0,72 baht per piece, as determined by Decision 94/639/EC (5), following a further review.B. Reopening of investigation(4) In December 1994, the Commission initiated a review of Decision 94/639/EC and of Regulation (EC) No 2271/94, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (6).(5) The purpose of this review was to recalculate the amount of subsidy granted by the Royal Thai Government, with a view to allowing a modification of the rate of export tax established by Decision 94/639/EC. Since the rate of countervailing duty on indirect imports directly reflects the export tax rate, the review also covers Regulation (EC) No 2271/94 imposing the definitive duty.(6) The Commission officially advised the Royal Thai Government, the exporters and importers known to be concerned, as well as the complainant in the original investigation (Febma) and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and request a hearing. The Royal Thai Government, the exporters located in Thailand and the Community producers, represented by Febma, made their views known in writing.(7) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a determination and carried out an investigation at the premises of the following:(a) Royal Thai Government:Department of Foreign Trade, Bangkok,Board of Investment, Bangkok;(b) Thai exporters:NMB Thai Ltd, Ayutthaya, Thailand,Pelmec Thai Ltd, Bang Pa-In, Thailand,NMB Hi-Tech Ltd, Bang Pa-In, Thailand.All these exporting companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Mineba Co., Ltd., Japan.(8) Upon request, parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the amendment to the rate of definitive countervailing duty. They were also granted a period within which to make representations subsequent to the disclosure.The written comments submitted by the parties were, where appropriate, taken into consideration.C. Recalculation of subsidy amount(9) It has been determined that the countervailable subsidies granted to the exporters in Thailand in the period 1 October 1993 to 31 March 1994 ('the investigation period`) amount to 0,66 baht per piece. The Royal Thai Government has accordingly amended the export tax rate on ball bearings exported directly to the Community to 0,66 baht per piece, and has offered a modified version of the undertaking to this effect. Ths has been accepted by Commission Decision 95/180/EC (1), which also explains in detail the reasoning with regard to the calculation of the amount of subsidy.D. Injury and Community interest(10) No new evidence was supplied with regard to injury or Community interest. The Council therefore maintains its conclusions set out in Regulation (EC) No 2271/94 concerning these matters.E. Amendments to definitive duty(11) In view of the change in the export tax rate from 0,72 to 0,66 baht per piece, the rate of definitive countervailing duty on indirect imports should be amended accordingly to an amount equivalent to the new export tax rate. When expressed as a percentage of the net, free-at-Community-frontier, price of the product, the new rate of countervailing duty amounts to 4,8 %.F. Collection of anti-dumping and countervailing duties(12) As explained in recital (12) of Regulation (EC) No 2271/94, the countervailing duty should continue to be collected in addition to the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 2934/90 (2).The combined amount of anti-dumping and countervailing duty to be collected in this case is, therefore, 11,5 % (6,7 % anti-dumping duty plus 4,8 % countervailing duty).The basis for calculating the amount of both anti-dumping and countervailing duty should be the same net, free-at-Community-frontier, price of the product,. Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2271/94 shall be replaced by the following:'Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1781/93 shall be replaced by the following:""2. The countervailing duty expressed as a percentage of the net, free-at-Community-frontier, price of product, shall be 4,8 %.""` This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following 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..

Community law has foreseen a system of a plurality of issuers of banknotes. The ECB and the NCBs shall issue euro banknotes.(2) Pursuant to Article 10 of Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro(1), from 1 January 2002, the ECB and the NCBs (hereinafter referred to as the ""Eurosystem"") will put into circulation banknotes denominated in euro. Euro banknotes are expressions of the same and single currency, and subject to a single legal regime.(3) The issue of euro banknotes need not be subject to quantitative or other limits, since putting banknotes into circulation is a demand driven process.(4) Decision ECB/2001/7 of 30 August 2001 on the denominations, specifications, reproduction, exchange and withdrawal of euro banknotes(2), as amended by Decision ECB/2001/14(3), contains common rules on euro banknotes. The ECB has established common technical specifications for euro banknotes and quality control measures to ensure that the euro banknotes comply with such specifications. As a consequence all euro banknotes have the same physical appearance and level of quality and no distinction is to be made between banknotes of the same denomination.(5) All euro banknotes should be subject to identical acceptance and processing requirements by the Eurosystem members irrespective of which put them into circulation. The current practice of repatriation of banknotes denominated in national currency units to the issuing central bank will therefore not apply to euro banknotes. The regime for the issue of the euro banknotes is based on the principle of non-repatriation of euro banknotes.(6) Pursuant to Article 29.1 of the Statute, each of the members of the European System of Central Banks is assigned a weighting in the key for subscription to the ECB's capital, as laid down by Decision ECB/1998/13 of 1 December 1998 on the national central banks' percentage shares in the key for the capital of the ECB(4); this weighting is based on the population and gross domestic product of each Member State and governs the contributions to the ECB's capital, the transfers of the NCB's foreign reserve assets to the ECB, the monetary income allocation of the NCBs, and the distribution of profits and sharing of losses of the ECB.(7) Euro banknotes are legal tender in all participating Member States, will freely circulate within the euro area, be reissued by the members of the Eurosystem, and may also be stored or used outside the euro zone. The liabilities in respect of the issue of the total value of euro banknotes in circulation should therefore be allocated to the members of the Eurosystem in accordance with an objective criterion. An appropriate criterion is the share of each NCB in the paid-up capital of the ECB. This share results from a proportional application of the capital key referred to in Article 29.1 of the Statute to NCBs. This criterion not being applicable to the ECB, the percentage share of euro banknotes to be issued by the ECB is to be determined by the Governing Council.(8) Under Article 9.2 and Article 12.1 of the Statute, establishing the principle of decentralisation for Eurosystem operations, the NCBs are to be entrusted with putting into and withdrawing from circulation all euro banknotes including those issued by the ECB. Consistent with this principle of decentralisation, the physical handling of euro banknotes is also to be carried out by the NCBs.(9) The difference between the value of euro banknotes allocated to each NCB in accordance with the banknote allocation key and the value of the euro banknotes that such NCB puts into circulation should give rise to intra-Eurosystem balances. The ECB not putting euro banknotes into circulation, it should hold intra-Eurosystem claims on NCBs for a value equivalent to the share of euro banknotes that it issues. The remuneration of these intra-Eurosystem balances has an effect on the income positions of NCBs and is therefore the subject of Decision ECB/2001/16 of 6 December 2001 on the allocation of monetary income of the national central banks of participating Member States from the financial year 2002(5), based on Article 32 of the Statute,. DefinitionsFor the purposes of this Decision:(a) ""NCBs"" shall mean the national central banks of the Member States that have adopted the single currency in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community;(b) ""euro banknotes"" shall mean those banknotes complying with the requirements of Decision ECB/2001/7, and with the technical specifications laid down by the Governing Council;(c) ""subscribed capital key"" shall mean the percentages that result from applying to the NCBs the weighting in the key referred to in Article 29.1 of the Statute and as laid down in Decision ECB/1998/13;(d) ""banknote allocation key"" shall mean the percentages that result from taking into account the ECB's share in the total euro banknote issue and applying the subscribed capital key (rounded to the nearest multiple of 0,0005 percentage point) to the NCBs' share in such total. The Annex to this Decision specifies the banknote allocation key applying on 1 January 2002. Issue of euro banknotesThe ECB and the NCBs shall issue euro banknotes. Obligations of issuers1. NCBs shall put into and withdraw from circulation euro banknotes, and perform any physical handling in relation to all euro banknotes, including those issued by the ECB.2. NCBs shall accept all euro banknotes on the request of the holder for exchange against euro banknotes of the same value or, in the case of account holders, to be credited to accounts held at the recipient NCB.3. NCBs shall treat all euro banknotes accepted by them as liabilities and process them in an identical manner.4. NCBs shall not transfer euro banknotes accepted by them to other NCBs and shall keep such euro banknotes available for reissue. As an exception, and in accordance with any rules laid down by the Governing Council of the ECB:(a) mutilated, damaged, worn or withdrawn euro banknotes may be destroyed by the recipient NCB;(b) euro banknotes held by NCBs may, for logistical reasons, be redistributed in bulk within the Eurosystem. Allocation of euro banknotes within the Eurosystem1. The total value of euro banknotes in circulation shall be allocated to the Eurosystem members by application of the banknote allocation key.2. The difference between the value of euro banknotes allocated to each NCB in accordance with the banknote allocation key and the value of the euro banknotes that such NCB puts into circulation shall give rise to intra-Eurosystem balances. The ECB shall hold intra-Eurosystem claims on NCBs in proportion to their shares in the subscribed capital key, for a value equivalent to the value of euro banknotes that it issues.

It provides that the import conditions for dogs, cats and ferrets are to be at least equivalent to the relevant conditions provided for in Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 June 2013 on the non-commercial movement of pet animals and repealing Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 (2).(2) Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 provides that where the number of dogs, cats or ferrets moved for non-commercial purposes during a single movement exceeds five, those pet animals are to comply with the animal health requirements laid down in Directive 92/65/EEC for the species concerned, except for certain categories of animals for which a derogation is provided for by Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 under certain conditions.(3) Directive 92/65/EEC provides that dogs, cats and ferrets are to be imported into the Union only from a third country which is on a list drawn up in accordance with the procedure referred to in that Directive. In addition, such animals are to be accompanied by a health certificate corresponding to a specimen drawn up in accordance with the procedure referred to therein.(4) Commission Implementing Decision 2011/874/EU of 15 December 2011 laying down the list of third countries and territories authorised for imports of dogs, cats and ferrets and for non-commercial movements of more than five dogs, cats and ferrets into the Union and the model certificates for imports and non-commercial movements of those animals into the Union (3) establishes the model health certificate for imports into the Union of dogs, cats and ferrets and provides that the territories or third countries they come from and any territories or third countries they transit must be either listed in Section 2 of Part B or in Part C of Annex II 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 (4) or listed in Part 1 of Annex II to Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 of 12 March 2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (5).(5) In the interest of consistency of Union legislation, it is appropriate to include in that list of authorised territories and third countries the list of third countries that are approved for the importation of equidae into the Union, because those third countries have equally provided sufficient guarantees as to the existence and implementation of rules and principles of certification to be observed by third-country certifying officers in issuing the certificates required by veterinary legislation to prevent misleading or fraudulent certification. The list of third countries from which Member States authorise the import of live equidae is currently set out in Annex I to Commission Decision 2004/211/EC of 6 January 2004 establishing the list of third countries and parts of territory thereof from which Member States authorise imports of live equidae and semen, ova and embryos of the equine species, and amending Decisions 93/195/EEC and 94/63/EC (6).(6) Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 has been repealed by Regulation (EU) No 576/2013. Consequently, the list of territories and third countries previously listed in Section 2 of Part B or in Part C of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 is now set out in Annex II to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013 of 28 June 2013 on the model identification documents for the non-commercial movement of dogs, cats and ferrets, the establishment of lists of territories and third countries and the format, layout and language requirements of the declarations attesting compliance with certain conditions provided for in Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7).(7) This Decision should therefore provide that imports of dogs, cats or ferrets into the Union are authorised only from territories and third countries listed in Annex I to Decision 2004/211/EC, in Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 or in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013.(8) Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 provides that dogs, cats and ferrets are not to be moved into a Member State from a territory or a third country other than those listed in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013 unless they have undergone a rabies antibody titration test that complies with the validity requirements set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 576/2013.(9) Those requirements include the obligation to perform that test in a laboratory approved in accordance with Council Decision 2000/258/EC of 20 March 2000 designating a specific institute responsible for establishing the criteria necessary for standardising the serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines (8) which provides that the Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des aliments (AFSSA) in Nancy, France (integrated since 1 July 2010 into the Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l’alimentation, de l’environnement et du travail, ANSES) is to appraise the laboratories in Member States and third countries for the purposes of their authorisation to carry out serological tests to monitor the effectiveness of rabies vaccines in dogs, cats and ferrets.(10) Commission Decision 2005/64/EC of 26 January 2005 implementing Council Directive 92/65/EEC as regards import conditions for cats, dogs and ferrets for approved bodies, institutes and centres (9) establishes a model veterinary certificate for the imports into the Union of such animals destined for bodies, institutes and centres approved in accordance with Directive 92/65/EEC and provides that imports of those animals are to be authorised from territories or third countries listed in Section 2 of Part B or in Part C of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003.(11) This Decision should therefore provide that imports into the Union of dogs, cats or ferrets destined for bodies, institutes and centres approved in accordance with Directive 92/65/EEC are authorised only from territories and third countries listed in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 577/2013.(12) This Decision should therefore establish the new list of territories and third countries authorised for imports of dogs, cats or ferrets into the Union and a common model health certificate for imports into the Union of such animals. Decision 2005/64/EC should therefore be repealed.(13) In addition, Commission Decision 94/274/EC of 18 April 1994 laying down the system of identification for dogs and cats that are placed on the market in the United Kingdom and Ireland and not originating in those countries (10) and Commission Decision 94/275/EC of 18 April 1994 on recognising rabies vaccines (11), adopted on the basis of Directive 92/65/EEC before the amendments introduced by Regulation (EC) No 998/2003, have become obsolete and should therefore be repealed.(14) Council Directive 96/93/EC of 17 December 1996 on the certification of animals and animal products (12) lays down the rules to be observed in issuing the certificates required by veterinary legislation to prevent misleading or fraudulent certification. It is appropriate to ensure that rules and principles at least equivalent to those laid down in that Directive are applied by official veterinarians of third countries.(15) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1152/2011 of 14 July 2011 supplementing Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards preventive health measures for the control of Echinococcus multilocularis infection in dogs (13) provides that from 1 January 2012, dogs entering Member States or parts thereof listed in Annex I thereto are to be treated against the parasite Echinococcus multilocularis in accordance with the requirements set out in that Regulation.(16) It is necessary to provide for a transitional period in order to give Member States time to adjust to the new rules laid down in this Decision and in particular to allow, subject to certain conditions, for the use of animal health certificates issued in accordance with Union rules applicable before the date of application of this Decision.(17) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

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.

By letters of 23 December 2004, 1 July 2005 and 8 March 2006, registered as received by the Commission on 3 January 2005, 5 July 2005 and 13 March 2006 respectively, Belgium provided the Commission with further information.(2) This notification was sent together with the notification of an aid scheme for research and development in the aircraft industry since the aid in question was granted under that scheme and individual notification was therefore required under point 4.7 of the Community framework on State aid for research and development (3) (R & D framework). This aid scheme has been examined individually as scheme No C 27/2006 (ex NN 22/2004).(3) By letter of 22 June 2006, the Commission informed Belgium that it had decided to initiate the procedure provided for in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the individual aid granted to Techspace Aero.(4) By letter dated 11 September 2006, registered as received on the same date, Belgium submitted its comments to the Commission.(5) By letter of 2 October 2006, the Commission asked Belgium for additional information, which was provided by letters of 23 and 24 November 2006, registered as received on the same dates.(6) The Commission decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (4). The Commission called on interested parties to submit their comments.(7) The Commission received no comments from interested parties.2.   DESCRIPTION OF THE AID2.1.   Beneficiary(8) Techspace Aero is a Belgian company that specialises in the manufacture of subassemblies for aircraft and spacecraft engines. According to the information on its website, the company is owned by the French group Safran (51 %), by the Walloon region (28,4 %), by the US firm Pratt & Whitney (19 %) and by Société Wallonne d’Investissement (1,6 %). In 2004 it employed 1 230 staff and had a turnover of EUR 271 million.(9) Techspace Aero specialises in low-pressure compressors. It has taken part in numerous developments of major civil aircraft engines with integrators such as General Electric, Pratt & Whitney and the company SNECMA.2.2.   R & D project for which the aid has been granted(10) Techspace Aero is participating in the GP7000 civil aviation engine project. The GP7000 engine is produced by a collaboration between General Electric and Pratt & Whitney. Other European firms, such as MTU (Germany) and SNECMA (France), are also taking part in this project.(11) Techspace Aero is in charge of developing the low-pressure compressor for the GP7000. The company’s total eligible costs for the R & D work for this project amount to […] (5), spread over the period 2002 to 2006. According to the Belgian authorities, the total cost of the project breaks down as follows: […] for industrial research (IR) activities plus […] for pre-competitive development (PCD) activities within the meaning of Annex I to the R & D framework.(12) The activities classified as IR correspond to the project phases prior to the first engine tests. The PCD activities correspond to the engine test phases. Certification costs are not eligible for aid.2.3.   Aid arrangements(13) Techspace Aero requested the aid for the aforementioned project from the Belgian Government in 2000. It was granted by the authorities on 1 October 2003.(14) The aid is granted in the form of a repayable advance of a maximum amount of EUR 41 274 000, of which 65 % is for IR costs and 45 % for PCD costs.(15) The advance is repaid in stages in the form of a contribution per finished component sold based on the importance of the component, plus contributions based on the turnover generated by sales of replacement parts and by repairs. Under the agreement between the Belgian Government and Techspace Aero, the company will not under any circumstances have to pay interest on the amount advanced. Repayments will cease when the principal of the advance has been reimbursed.(16) According to the scenario described by the Belgian authorities in letters to the Commission and based, among other projections, on projected sales of […] shipsets by 2018, Techspace Aero is to repay the advance in full by 2019.2.4.   Incentive effect of the aid(17) According to the Belgian authorities, Techspace Aero’s R & D expenditure increased from […] per annum prior to the launch of the programme to […] per annum in 2005. Similarly, the ratio of R & D expenditure to turnover rose from […] to […].2.5.   Grounds for initiating the procedure(18) In its decision of 22 June 2006 the Commission examined the aid in the light of the R & D framework and raised doubts regarding its compatibility with this framework.(19) The Commission noted that the aid was granted in the form of an advance repayable on the basis of sales of the product resulting from the research activity. Advances of this kind, repayable in the event of a successful outcome of research activities, are very common in the aircraft industry.(20) Point 5.6 of the R & D framework makes specific provision for this type of advance. It indicates that the allowable level of aid intensity for such aid instruments (25 % for PCD and 50 % for IR) may be increased based on a case-by-case assessment of the repayment conditions.(21) Since the entry into force of the R & D framework, the Commission has received notification of numerous cases of aid in the form of advances repayable in the event of a successful outcome. It has developed a body of practice for interpretating point 5.6 of the framework (6).(22) In the cases analysed by the Commission to date, the beneficiary has, in the event of the success of a programme, been required to repay, in addition to the advance principal, interest based on the reference and discount rate set by the Commission for the Member State concerned at the time the aid was granted. For particularly successful programmes, the repayment rates have been even higher.(23) Under the circumstances, the Commission’s practice has been to limit the advance to a maximum of 40 % of eligible costs for PCD activities and 60 % for IR activities. These basic rates may be exceeded by the extra percentage points (bonuses) provided for in point 5.10 of the R & D framework.(24) In the aid scheme in question, however, the Commission notes that the Belgian authorities have applied these maximum levels of 40 % and 60 % (plus a bonus of 5 % in accordance with point 5.10.2 of the R & D framework), whereas the arrangements for repayment of the advance do not envisage payment of any interest, even in the event of the success of the programme.(25) As indicated in the Commission decision of 22 June 2006, the arrangements for repaying of the aid are considerably more favourable for Techspace Aero than the traditional arrangements for aid beneficiaries in the cases hitherto examined by the Commission. Since they do not have to pay any interest, the beneficiary companies are guaranteed to benefit from the aid whatever the outcome of the project, whereas under traditional repayment arrangements the aid may not be granted at all in the event of a successful outcome (and may even be negative in cases of highly successful projects where the enterprise may enable the government to earn money, including in real terms).3.   COMMENTS FROM BELGIUM(26) The Belgian authorities have modified the arrangements for granting aid to Techspace Aero by means of an amendment to the contract signed by the parties and sent to the Commission on 24 November 2006. This amendment provides for recovery of part of the aid granted in order to reduce its intensity level to that stipulated by the R & D framework (50 % maximum for IR activities and 25 % maximum for PCD activities, increased by 5 % if the project is carried out in one of the regions covered by Article 87(3)(c)). The Belgian authorities will recover the surplus amount of the aid by 31 March 2007 and will charge interest on this amount at the Commission’s reference and discount rate in force at the time the aid was granted. As provided for in the grant agreement, in the event of the success of the project the Belgian authorities will, in addition to this initial recovery, require repayment, free of interest, of the part of the aid kept by the enterprise.Beneficiary Eligible costs (EUR ‘000) Final intensity Advance paid Recovery with interest RateIR PCD IR PCDTechspace Aero […] […] 55 % 30 % 34 800 8 397 3,95 %(27) The advance finally granted to Techspace Aero amounts to EUR 31 978 850, corresponding to an intensity level of […], which is the weighted average of the intensities applicable to the relative costs of IR and PCD activities.4.   ASSESSMENT4.1.   Existence of State aid(28) The advance was granted by the Belgian Federal Government to a single company. It is repaid only in the event of the success of the product being researched. This makes the advance more advantageous than a loan at market rates. Lastly, Techspace Aero is engaged in an area in which there is significant trade between Member States. It therefore meets the cumulative criteria for determining the existence of State aid as defined in Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.4.2.   Unlawfulness of State aid(29) The aid was granted on 1 October 2003, even before it was notified to the Commission and therefore necessarily before it had been approved by the Commission. There is no suspension clause whereby payment of the advance is subject to analysis of the scheme by the Commission in accordance with Community State aid rules. Since the scheme has already been implemented, it must be considered to be unlawful within the meaning of Article 1(b) and (f) of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999.4.3.   Compatibility of State aid(30) Modification of the aid scheme as described in paragraphs 26 and 27 takes away the advantage initially conferred on the beneficiary by reducing the aid intensity to the level stipulated in the R & D framework (50 % for IR activities and 25 % for PCD activities, increased by 5 % if the project is carried out in one of the regions covered by Article 87(3)(c)). In addition to recovery, with interest, of the surplus aid, repayment of the remaining aid goes beyond the requirements of the R & D framework. The aid thus modified is therefore compatible with that framework.(31) The Belgian authorities undertake to take away the additional advantage temporarily granted to Techspace Aero relative to the beneficiaries of aid in the form of repayable advances in the cases hitherto examined by the Commission.5.   CONCLUSION(32) The Commission notes that Belgium has unlawfully implemented the R & D aid for Techspace Aero in breach of Article 88(3) of the EC Treaty. However, Belgium has adapted State aid granted so as to bring it into line with the Community framework on State aid for research and development,. The aid for research and development implemented by Belgium for Techspace Aero for an initial amount of EUR 41 274 000 and modified as described in paragraphs 26 and 27 is compatible with the common market.

Direct exposure to competition is assessed on the basis of objective criteria, taking account of the specific characteristics of the sector concerned. Access is deemed to be unrestricted if the Member State has implemented and applied the relevant Community legislation opening a given sector or a part of it. This legislation is listed in Annex XI to Directive 2004/17/EC, which, for the electricity sector, refers to Directive 96/92/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 December 1996 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity (2). Directive 96/92/EC has been superseded by Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 96/92/EC (3), which requires an even higher degree of market opening.(2) Pursuant to Article 62(2) of Directive 2004/17/EC, Title III of that Directive setting out the rules on service design contests does not apply to contests organised for the pursuit, in the Member State concerned, of an activity to which the applicability of Article 30(1) of the Directive has been established by a Commission decision or has been deemed applicable under the second or third subparagraph of Article 30(4) or the fourth subparagraph of Article 30(5).(3) The request submitted by the Republic of Finland concerns production, including co-generation, as well as the sale (wholesale and retail) of electricity. The wholesale market in Finland is to a large degree integrated into the Nordic power market (Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland). It consists of a bilateral trading market between generators on one hand and suppliers and industrial companies on the other hand, and a voluntary Nordic power exchange Nordpool which has a spot market and a forward market. There is, therefore, a clear development towards a regional wholesale market, although transmission bottlenecks sometimes divide this market up into geographically distinct price areas, of which Finland is one. Thus, according to the Finnish authorities and Nordpool Finland, Finland was a separate pricing area during 9,3 % of the time in 2005 (4). For production there is also clear development towards a regional market, although transmission bottlenecks and limits to the capacity (5) of the connections between the Finnish networks and those of other areas of the Community and to Russia, can have the effect of temporarily limiting the market to the territory of Finland, excluding the Åland islands. The retail market area corresponds to the territory of Finland, excluding the Åland islands, given that, as confirmed by the Finnish authorities, electricity dealers from other Nordic countries that are not established in Finland are not yet a real alternative as far as consumers or small or medium-sized customers are concerned.(4) This assessment, and any other contained in this Decision, is made solely for the purposes of Directive 2004/17/EC and is without prejudice to the application of the rules on competition.(5) Finland has implemented and applied not only Directive 96/92/EC but also Directive 2003/54/EC, opting for full ownership unbundling for transmission networks and legal and functional unbundling for distribution networks except for the smallest companies. Consequently, and in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 30(3), access to the market should be deemed not to be restricted.(6) Direct exposure to competition should be evaluated on the basis of various indicators, none of which are, per se, decisive.(7) In the Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament: Report on progress in creating the internal gas and electricity market (6), hereafter referred to as the ‘2005 Report’, the Commission stated that, ‘many national markets display a high degree of concentration of the industry, impeding the development of effective competition.’ (7). Consequently, it considered that, in respect of electricity generation, ‘one indicator for the degree of competition on national markets is the total market share of the biggest three producers’ (8). According to the ‘Technical Annex’ (9), the aggregate market share of the three largest generators of the total production on the Nordic market is 40 % (10), which is a satisfactorily low level. When compared to the Finnish territory, the aggregate market shares of the three largest generators are, of course, higher (11). However, the periods in which the Finnish market is isolated are limited (12). There is, therefore, during significant parts of the year, a competitive pressure deriving from the potential to obtain electricity from outside Finnish territory, the more so as no transmission fee is charged between the Nordic countries. The temporary nature of congestion prevents investment inside the Finnish territory without having regard to other producers in the Nordic market. These factors should therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure to competition for the production market whether taken as the national Finnish market or the emerging regional one.(8) The degrees of concentration and of liquidity are also good indicators of competition on the electricity wholesale market. The market share of Nord Pool Spot AS, the voluntary Nordic power exchange described in recital 3, in 2004 was 42 % of the physical delivery in the Nordic countries (13). In comparison to a regional market, this is at a satisfactory level. Furthermore, the conditions of competition in the electricity wholesale trade are also greatly influenced by financial trade in electricity in the market area, which, in terms of volume via NordPool, represented 1,5 times the amount consumed in the Nordic countries (14) (and, if other identified transactions such as OTC, over the counter or direct sale, are included, more than four times the amount (15). As concluded in the Technical Annex (16), this degree of liquidity should be considered as being satisfactory, i.e. it is such as to constitute an indicator of a well-functioning and competitive regional market. As previously indicated, the competitive situation should also be examined as it relates solely to Finnish territory. First of all it should once again be stressed that the aforementioned bottleneck problems are not constant, only temporary. There is therefore the constant competitive pressure deriving from the potential to obtain electricity from outside Finnish territory, the more so as no transmission fee is charged between the Nordic countries. Furthermore, prices for wholesale electricity in Finland are set by Nordpool. These factors should therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure to competition for the wholesale market, whether taken as the national Finnish market or the emerging regional one.(9) Taking the size of the country into account, the number of economic operators on the retail market is fairly large (more than 60, a considerable number of which offer their services on a nationwide basis) as is the number of companies with a market share above 5 %. According to the latest information available, the aggregate market share of the three largest companies in terms of supply to small- and medium-sized businesses, as well as to very small commercial customers and households, is at a satisfactorily low level at 35-40 % (17). These factors should therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure to competition.(10) The workings of the balancing markets should also be considered as indicators, not only in respect of production but also for the wholesale and retail markets. In fact, ‘any market participant who cannot easily match its generation portfolio to the characteristics of its customers may find itself exposed to the difference between the price at which the TSO (transmission system operator) will sell imbalance energy, and the price at which it will buy back excess production. These prices may either be directly imposed by the regulator on the TSO; or alternatively a market based mechanism will be used in which the price is determined by bids from other producers to regulate their production upwards or downwards (…) a key difficulty for small market participants arises where there is the risk of a large spread between the buying price from the TSO and the selling price. This occurs in a number of Member States and is likely to be detrimental to the development of competition. A high spread may be indicative of an insufficient level of competition in the balancing market which may be dominated by only one or two main generators. Such difficulties are made worse where network users are unable to adjust their positions close to real time.’ (18). There is an integrated balancing market in the Nordic area for supplying balancing energy and its main characteristics (market-based pricing, hourly gate closures and a low spread) are such that it should be taken as an indicator of direct exposure to competition.(11) Given the characteristics of the product concerned here (electricity) and the scarcity or unavailability of suitable substitutable products or services, price competition and price formation assume greater importance when assessing the competitive state of the electricity markets. The number of customers switching supplier is an indicator of genuine price competition and, thus, indirectly, ‘a natural indicator of the effectiveness of competition. If few customers are switching, there is likely to be a problem with the functioning of the market, even if the benefits from the possibility of renegotiating with the historical supplier should not be ignored.’ (19). Furthermore, ‘the existence of regulated end-user prices is clearly a key determinant of customer behaviour (…) Although the retaining of controls may be justified in a period of transition, these will increasingly cause distortions as the need for investment approaches.’ (20).(12) In Finland, the degree of switching for the three categories of users — large and very large industrial users, small and medium-sized industrial and business, and very small business and household users — is above 75 % for the first two groups and 30 % for the last category (21) and there is no end-user price control (22): that is, prices are set by the economic operators themselves and do not have to be approved by any authority prior to their application. The situation in Finland is therefore satisfactory as far as switching and end-user price control are concerned and should be taken as an indicator of direct exposure to competition.(13) In view of the abovementioned indicators and given the overall picture of this sector in Finland, in particular the extent to which networks have been unbundled from generation/supply and the effective regulation of network access, that emerges from the information submitted by the Republic of Finland, the 2005 Report and the Technical Annex thereto, the condition of direct exposure to competition laid down in Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC should be considered to be met in respect of production and sale of electricity in Finland, excluding the Åland islands. As noted in recital 5, the further condition of free access to the activity must be deemed to be met. Consequently, Directive 2004/17/EC should not apply when contracting entities award contracts intended to enable electricity generation or the sale of electricity to be carried out in these geographical areas nor when they organise design contests for the pursuit of such an activity there.(14) This Decision is based on the legal and factual situation as of February 2006 as it appears from the information submitted by the Republic of Finland, the 2005 Report and the Technical Annex thereto. It may be revised, should significant changes in the legal or factual situation mean that the conditions for the applicability of Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC are no longer met.(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Advisory Committee for Public Contracts,. Directive 2004/17/EC shall not apply to contracts awarded by contracting entities and intended to enable them to carry out electricity generation or the sale of electricity in Finland, excluding the Åland islands. This Decision is based on the legal and factual situation as of February 2006 as it appears from the information submitted by the Republic of Finland, the 2005 Report and the Technical Annex thereto. It may be revised, should significant changes in the facts or the legal situation mean that the conditions for the applicability of Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC are no longer met.

For Aureobasidium pullulans (strains DSM 14940 and DSM 14941) the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Decision 2008/953/EC (3).(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC Austria received on 17 April 2008 an application from bio-ferm Biotechnologische Entwicklung und Produktion GmbH for the inclusion of the active substance Aureobasidium pullulans (strains DSM 14940 and DSM 14941) in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2008/953/EC confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 17 December 2009. In accordance with Article 11(6) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 188/2011 (4) additional information was requested from the applicant on 26 July 2011. The evaluation of the additional data by Austria was submitted in the format of an updated draft assessment report in January 2012.(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion (5) on the review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance Aureobasidium pullulans (strains DSM 14940 and DSM 14941) on 2 April 2013. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 16 July 2013 in the format of the Commission review report for Aureobasidium pullulans (strains DSM 14940 and DSM 14941).(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing Aureobasidium pullulans (strains DSM 14940 and DSM 14941) may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve Aureobasidium pullulans (strains DSM 14940 and DSM 14941).(6) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.(7) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing Aureobasidium pullulans (strains DSM 14940 and DSM 14941). Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.(8) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (6) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.(9) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (7) should be amended accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Approval of active substanceThe active substance Aureobasidium pullulans (strains DSM 14940 and DSM 14941), as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. Re-evaluation of plant protection products1.   Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing Aureobasidium pullulans (strains DSM 14940 and DSM 14941) as an active substance by 31 July 2014.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing Aureobasidium pullulans (strains DSM 14940 and DSM 14941) as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 January 2014 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing Aureobasidium pullulans (strains DSM 14940 and DSM 14941) as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 July 2015 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing Aureobasidium pullulans (strains DSM 14940 and DSM 14941) as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 July 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest. Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

Commission Decision 1999/43/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to that Directive.(2) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossier was necessary in order to allow it to be examined in detail and to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisations, for periods of up to 3 years, for plant protection products containing the active substance concerned, while complying with the conditions laid down in Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and, in particular, the condition relating to the detailed assessment of the active substance and the plant protection products in the light of the requirements laid down by that Directive.(3) For this active substance, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The rapporteur Member State submitted the draft assessment report to the Commission on 28 March 2001.(4) Following submission of the draft assessment report by the rapporteur Member State, it has been found to be necessary to request further information from the applicant and to have the rapporteur Member State examine that information and submit its assessment. Therefore, the examination of the dossier is still ongoing and it will not be possible to complete the evaluation within the timeframe provided for in Directive 91/414/EEC, read in conjunction with Commission Decision 2008/564/EC (3).(5) As the evaluation so far has not identified any reason for immediate concern, Member States should be given the possibility of prolonging provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing the active substance concerned for a period of 24 months in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of Directive 91/414/EEC so as to enable the examination of the dossier to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on a possible inclusion in Annex I to that Directive for profoxydim will have been completed within 24 months.(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Member States may extend provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing profoxydim for a period ending on 30 June 2012 at the latest. This Decision shall expire on 30 June 2012.

Whereas, as regards the individual coalfields, the Nord/Pas-de-Calais and Centre-Midi coalfields are to receive aid to cover losses in respect of 1977 which will be far from covering losses on mining in these fields, since they will still incur relatively high realasset losses even with the aid ; whereas these realassest losses are the result of pit closures ; whereas in 1977 six coking plants, briquette works and pits are likely to be closed in the coalfields, affecting some 2 000 employees ; whereas planning for production in these fields calls for further cutbacks combined with measures to redeploy redundant miners, in order to avoid severe economic and social disturbances in these areas where the provision of other jobs is still inadequate ; whereas the aids for these coalfields therefore comply with the first subparagraph of Article 12 (1) and Article 12 (2) of the Decision; (1) OJ No L 63, 11.3.1976, p. 1.2. Whereas the aid to cover losses in the Lorraine field will probably not fully cover losses incurred on mining but will largely do so ; whereas no pits will be closed in this coalfield in 1977 ; whereas production from this field should as far as possible be kept up, since coking coal is imported for supplying the steel industry ; whereas consequently the amount and purpose of the aid comply with the second subparagraph of Article 12 (1) of the Decision;IIWhereas, in accordance with Article 3 (2) of the Decision, the examination of the compatibility of the proposed aids with the proper functioning of the common market must also extend to all other financial measures to support current production in 1977;Whereas for 1977 the sum of all these aids to support current production by the French coal industry is 415 000 000 European units of account, or 19 777 European units of account per tonne ; whereas this is higher than corresponding German and United Kingdom aids but lower than Belgian aid;Whereas the following points must be made about the compatibility of the proposed aid with the proper functioning of the common market: - there were no supply difficulties on the French coal market in 1977,- French coal exports to other Community countries fell in 1977 compared with 1976,- hardly any price alignment agreements were entered into for French coal in 1977,- industrial consumers of coal were not directly aided in 1977 through the prices of French coking coal and steam coal,- the closure of marginal pits in the Nord/Pas-de-Calais and Centre-Midi coalfields results in rationalization and the concentration of production on pits where productivity is highest;Whereas it may accordingly be concluded that the aids proposed in 1977 for current production by the French coal industry are compatible with the proper functioning of the common market;Whereas this holds good even when account is taken of aids to coal mines under Decision 73/287/ECSC;IIIWhereas, pursuant to Article 14 (1) of the Decision, the Commission must satisfy itself that the approved aids are used exclusively for the purposes set out in Articles 7 to 12 of that Decision ; whereas consequently the Commission is to be notified in particular of the amount of the aid and the manner in which it is apportioned,. The Government of the French Republic is authorized to grant to the French coal industry the following aids for 1977: (a) an amount not exceeding FF 2 080 200 000 to cover losses on mining;(b) an amount not exceeding FF 196 000 000 to cover the financial losses sustained by the central administration of Charbonnages de France.The aids referred to in (a) and (b) above shall not exceed actual losses. The French Republic shall notify the Commission by 31 May 1978 of details of the aids granted pursuant to this Decision and in particular of the amounts paid and the manner in which they are apportioned.

As a result, it may spread from one Member State to another Member State and to third countries through trade in live pigs or their products.(3) Council Directive 2002/60/EC (3) lays down minimum measures to be applied within the Union for the control of African swine fever. Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC provides for the establishment of an infected area following the confirmation of one or more cases of African swine fever in feral pigs.(4) Poland has informed the Commission of the current African swine fever situation on its territory, and in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC, it has established an infected area where the measures referred to in Articles 15 and 16 of that Directive are applied.(5) In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to establish in collaboration with the Member State concerned a Union list of the infected territories for African swine fever in Poland.(6) Accordingly, the infected territories in Poland should be listed in the Annex to this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation established in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2002/60/EC.(7) Commission Implementing Decision 2014/100/EU (4) should be confirmed following consultation of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

The Member States shall, on the basis of sampling plans and using suitable detection methods, subject all consignments of frozen or processed fishery products from or originating in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique, with the exception of sterilised products, to a microbiological examination to verify that they present no threat to public health. The examination shall be carried out, in particular, to detect the presence of salmonellae and, in the case of frozen products, Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus (in the case of sea products). Member States shall only allow the entry into their territory and the consignment to another Member State of the fishery products in question where the results of the examinations are favourable.

In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Decision should be codified.(2) The European Council meeting in Madrid on 15 and 16 December 1995 confirmed the importance of the European Investment Bank, hereinafter referred to as ‘the EIB’, as an instrument of cooperation between the Community and Latin America and called on the EIB to intensify its activities in the region. These projects should be of interest to both the Community and the countries concerned.(3) The European Council meeting in Florence on 21 and 22 June 1996 welcomed the results of the Asia-Europe summit, which marked a turning-point in relations between the two continents.(4) The European Council meeting in Amsterdam on 16 and 17 June 1997 welcomed the conclusions adopted at the Second Euro-Mediterranean Conference, which was held at Valletta, Malta, on 15 and 16 April 1997 and reaffirmed the principles and objectives agreed at Barcelona in 1995.(5) The European Council meeting in Luxembourg on 12 and 13 December 1997 launched the enlargement process with the Central and Eastern European countries and Cyprus.(6) The European Council meeting in Cardiff on 15 and 16 June 1998 welcomed the efforts which the Republic of South Africa was making to modernise its economy and integrate it into the world trading system.(7) The EIB is completing the current loan programmes for Central and Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean region, Asia and Latin America and the Republic of South Africa pursuant to Decision 97/256/EC (4), as well as the lending that is governed by the Protocol on Financial Cooperation with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, according to Decision 98/348/EC (5).(8) The Council has invited the EIB to start operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These operations have continued, following the positive report (6) drawn up as stipulated in Council Decision 98/729/EC (7).(9) Although Bosnia and Herzegovina and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia have been included in the Central and Eastern Europe region since the adoption of Decision 97/256/EC, the EIB’s total lending effort to applicant countries within this region should increase given the importance of the pre-accession facility the EIB plans to create for EIB lending for projects in these countries without a guarantee from the Community budget or Member States.(10) In these circumstances, the EIB should ensure that its guaranteed lending within the Central and Eastern Europe mandate will finance particularly projects in those countries which have fewer projects suitable for financing from the pre-accession facility or projects in non-applicant countries.(11) The Cooperation Agreements between the European Community and Nepal, between the European Community and the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and between the European Community and Yemen entered into force on 1 June 1996, 1 December 1997 and on 1 July 1998 respectively. The Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and South Korea was signed on 28 October 1996. Nepal, Yemen, Laos and South Korea should become beneficiaries of EIB funding under the EIB’s mandate for Asia and Latin America.(12) It is appropriate to make certain improvements in the programmes of operations in respect of duration and country coverage. It is appropriate to adjust the blanket guarantee rate and the portion of lending for which the EIB is invited to cover the commercial risk from non-sovereign guarantees.(13) The Council is calling on the EIB to continue its operations in support of investment projects carried out in those countries by offering it the guarantee provided for in this Decision.(14) In June 1996, the Commission, in agreement with the EIB, presented to the Council a proposal for a new guarantee system for EIB lending to third countries.(15) On 2 December 1996 the Council approved conclusions on new guarantee arrangements for EIB lending to third countries, according to which the approach of a global guarantee, without distinguishing between the regions and projects, is approved and a risk-sharing scheme accepted. Under the current risk-sharing scheme the budgetary guarantee should cover political risks arising from currency non transfer, expropriation, war or civil disturbance and denial of justice upon breach of certain contracts by the third-country government or other authorities.(16) Under the risk-sharing scheme, the EIB should secure commercial risks by means of non-sovereign third-party guarantees or by means of any other security or collateral as well as relying on the financial strength of the debtor, in accordance with its usual criteria.(17) The guarantee arrangements should not affect the excellent credit standing of the EIB.(18) Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1149/1999 (8) revised the target amount and the provisioning rate for the Loan Guarantee Fund established by Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 (9).(19) The financial perspective for the period 2000 to 2006 according to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (10) envisages a ceiling for the loan guarantee reserve in the Community budget of EUR 200 million (at 1999 prices) per annum.(20) EIB financing in eligible third countries should be managed, in accordance with the EIB’s usual criteria and procedures, including appropriate control measures, as well as with the relevant rules and procedures concerning the Court of Auditors and OLAF, in such a way as to support Community policies and to enhance coordination with the Community’s other financial instruments. There is regular consultation between the EIB and the Commission to ensure coordination of priorities and activities in these countries and to measure progress towards the fulfilment of the Community’s relevant policy objectives. The setting and periodic review of the operation objectives and the measurement of their fulfilment are the responsibility of the EIB’s Board of Directors. In particular, EIB financing in the candidate countries should reflect the priorities established in the accession partnerships between the Community and those countries. Thus the transparency of the EIB lending under this Decision should be substantially enhanced. Hence, the Commission has reported on the application of Decision 2000/24/EC (11).(21) Close cooperation between the EIB and the Commission should ensure consistency and synergy with the European Union’s geographical cooperation programmes and ensure that the EIB loan operations complement and strengthen the European Union’s policies for those regions.(22) The Community guarantee covering the special earthquake facility for Turkey under Council Decision 1999/786/EC (12) continues to take the form of an extension of the global guarantee under this Decision.(23) The EIB and the Commission should adopt the procedures for granting the guarantee,. 1.   The Community shall grant the European Investment Bank (EIB) a global guarantee in respect of all payments not received by it but due in respect of credits opened, in accordance with its usual criteria, and in support of the Community’s relevant external policy objectives, for investment projects carried out in the South-eastern neighbours, the Mediterranean countries, Latin America and Asia and the Republic of South Africa.This guarantee shall be restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the credits opened, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the credits opened shall be equivalent to EUR 19 460 million, broken down as follows:— south-eastern neighbours:— Mediterranean countries:— Latin America and Asia:— Republic of South Africa:— special action supporting the consolidation and intensification of the EC-Turkey Customs Union:and may be used by 31 January 2007 at the latest. The credits already signed shall be taken into account as a deduction from the regional ceilings.The Commission shall report on the application of this Decision at the latest six months before any new accession treaties enter into force, and make proposals for amendments of this Decision if appropriate. The Council will discuss and act on any proposal with effect from the date of entry into force of any new accession treaty.If, on expiry of the guaranteed lending period on 31 January 2007, the loans granted by the EIB have not attained the overall amounts referred to in the second subparagraph, this period shall be automatically extended by six months.2.   The countries covered by paragraph 1 are:— South-eastern neighbours: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro and Turkey,— Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia and Gaza-West Bank,— Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela,— Asia: Bangladesh, Brunei, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Macao, Malaysia, the Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam and Yemen,— Republic of South Africa.3.   The EIB is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 30 % of its lending under this Decision from non-sovereign guarantees as far as possible on an individual regional mandate basis. This percentage shall be expanded upon whenever possible in so far as the market permits. The Commission shall inform the European Parliament and the Council each year of the loan operations and progress made on risk-sharing under Article 1(3) and shall, at the same time, submit an assessment of the operation of the scheme and of coordination between the financial institutions operating in that area. The Commission information submitted to the European Parliament and the Council shall include an assessment of the contribution of the lending under this Decision to the fulfilment of the Community’s relevant external policy objectives, taking into account the operational objectives and appropriate measurements of their fulfilment to be established by the EIB for lending under this Decision.For the purposes referred to in the first paragraph, the EIB shall transmit to the Commission the appropriate information. The EIB and the Commission shall fix the terms on which the guarantee is to be given.

The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. This tolerance has been defined in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcasses(5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3127/94(6).(2) The Commission, by Decision 89/53/EEC(7), as amended by Decision 89/602/EEC(8), has authorised different methods for grading pig carcasses in Italy.(3) The Italian Government has requested the Commission to authorise the use of only two methods for calculating the lean meat content of carcasses in Italy: ""Fat-O-Meater"" and ""Hennessy Grading Probe"". The information required pursuant to Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 has been submitted. The evaluation of the request has shown that the conditions for authorising the said methods of grading are fulfilled.(4) Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 lays down that Member States may be authorised to provide for a presentation of pig carcasses different to the standard presentations defined in the same Article where commercial practice or technical requirements so warrant.(5) In Italy the traditions in carcass presentation, and consequently, commercial practice, necessitate that carcasses can be presented with the flare fat and/or kidneys and/or diaphragm. This should be taken into account in adjusting to the weight for standard presentation. A uniform Italian carcass presentation should be adopted before end of 2003.(6) For the sake of clarity, a new decision should be adopted. Decision 89/53/EEC should therefore be repealed.(7) No adjustments to grading methods may be authorised except by means of a Commission decision adopted in the light of experience gained.(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,. The use of the following methods is hereby authorised for grading pig carcasses pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in Italy:- the apparatus termed ""Fat-O-Meater"" (FOM) and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex,- the apparatus termed ""Hennessy Grading Probe"" and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 2 of the Annex. Notwithstanding the standard presentation referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, pig carcasses may be presented with kidnyeys and/or diaphragm and/or flare fat during weighing and grading. In order to establish quotations for pig carcass on a comparable basis, the recorded hot weight shall be corrected by the following equation:>PIC FILE= ""L_2001163EN.003201.TIF"">where:Y= carcass weight as defined by Regulation (EC) No 3513/93X= carcass weight when being weigheda1 and a2= correction percentages, respectively, left or removed from the carcass:- for kidneys, equivalent to 0,30 %- for diaphragm, equivalent to 0,38 %- for flare fat, equivalent to:- 1,4 % (carcass weight from 70 to 79,9 kg),- 1,8 % (carcass weight from 80 to 89,9 kg),- 1,9 % (carcass weight from 90 to 99,9 kg),- 2,4 % (carcass weight from 100 to 110 kg),- 1,6 % (carcass weight from 110,1 to 120 kg),- 2,3 % (carcass weight from 120,1 to 130 kg),- 2,8 % (carcass weight from 130,1 to 140 kg),- 3,4 % (carcass weight from 140,1 to 150 kg),- 3,6 % (carcass weight more than 150 kg).However, Italy shall adopt a uniform carcass presentation of pig carcasses before 31 December 2003.

On 19 August 2008 Kenya submitted additional information relating to its request. The request covers a total quantity of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins of HS heading 1604. The request is made because catches and supply of originating raw tuna have decreased in the Indian Ocean.(2) According to the information provided by Kenya catches of raw originating tuna are unusually low even compared to the normal seasonal variations and have led to a decrease in production of tuna loins. This abnormal situation makes it impossible for Kenya to comply with the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 during a certain period.(3) In order to ensure that Kenya may continue its exports to the European Community, following the expiration of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement (2), a new derogation should be granted.(4) To ensure smooth transition from the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement to the Agreement establishing a framework for an Economic Partnership Agreement between the East African Community partner States, on the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, on the other part (EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement), a new derogation should be granted with retroactive effect from 1 January 2008.(5) A temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 would not cause serious injury to an established Community industry taking into account the imports concerned, provided that certain conditions relating to quantities, surveillance and duration are respected.(6) It is therefore justified to grant a temporary derogation under Article 36(1)(a) of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007.(7) Kenya will benefit from an automatic derogation from the rules of origin for tuna loins of HS heading 1604 pursuant to Article 41(8) of the Origin Protocol attached to the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, when that Agreement enters into force or is provisionally applied.(8) In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 the rules of origin set out in Annex II to that Regulation and the derogations from them are to be superseded by the rules of the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, the entry into force or provisional application of which is expected to take place in 2008. The derogation should therefore apply until 31 December 2008, as requested by Kenya, unless the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement enters into force or is applied provisionally before that date.(9) In accordance with Article 41(8) of the Origin Protocol attached to the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement, the automatic derogation from the rules of origin is limited to an annual quota of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins for the countries having initialled the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ruanda, Burundi). Kenya is the only country in the region that currently exports tuna loins to the Community. It is therefore appropriate to grant to Kenya a derogation under Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 in respect of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins, quantity which does not exceed the full annual quota granted to the EAC region under the EAC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement.(10) Accordingly a derogation should be granted to Kenya in respect of 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins for a period of one year.(11) 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 (3) lays down rules relating to the management of tariff quotas. In order to ensure efficient management carried out in close cooperation between the authorities of Kenya, the customs authorities of the Member States and the Commission, those rules should apply mutatis mutandis to the quantities imported under the derogation granted by this Decision.(12) In order to allow efficient monitoring of the operation of the derogation, the authorities of Kenya should communicate regularly to the Commission details of the EUR.1 movement certificates issued.(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,. By way of derogation from Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 and in accordance with Article 36(1)(a) of that Annex, tuna loins of HS Heading 1604 manufactured from non-originating materials shall be regarded as originating in Kenya in accordance with the terms set out in Articles 2 to 6 of this Decision. The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to the products and the quantities set out in the Annex which are declared for free circulation into the Community from Kenya during the period from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008. The quantities set out in the Annex to this Decision shall be managed in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. The customs authorities of Kenya shall take the necessary measures to carry out quantitative checks on exports of the products referred to in Article 1.All the EUR.1 movement certificates they issue in relation to those products shall bear a reference to this Decision.The competent authorities of Kenya shall forward to the Commission a quarterly statement of the quantities in respect of which EUR.1 movement certificates have been issued pursuant to this Decision and the serial numbers of those certificates. Box 7 of EUR.1 movement certificates issued under this Decision shall contain the following:‘Derogation — Decision 2008/886/EC’. This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2008.It shall apply until the rules of origin set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 are superseded by those annexed to any agreement with Kenya when that agreement is either provisionally applied, or enters into force, whichever is the earlier, but in any event this Decision shall not apply after 31 December 2008.

PROCEDURE(1) In March 1996, the Commission received a complaint concerning alleged injurious dumping by imports of certain briefcases and schoolbags originating in the People's Republic of China.(2) The complaint was lodged by Cedim (ComitĂŠ EuropĂŠen des Industries de la Maroquinerie), on behalf of Community producers whose collective output was alleged to represent a major proportion of Community production of briefcases and schoolbags.(3) The complaint contained evidence of dumping by the imports concerned and of material injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding.(4) The Commission, after consultation, accordingly announced in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3) the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of certain briefcases and schoolbags falling within CN codes 4202 12 11 and 4202 12 91 and originating in the People's Republic of China.(5) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainant Community producers. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.II. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING(6) In the course of the investigation Cedim informed the Commission, by letter of 19 March 1997, that it formally withdraw its complaint concerning imports of briefcases and schoolbags originating in the People's Republic of China. The Commission considered that a termination in this context would not be against the interest of the Community.(7) In these circumstances, the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of briefcases and schoolbags originating in the People's Republic of China should be terminated without the imposition of protective measures.(8) The Advisory Committee has been consulted and has raised no objection.(9) Interested parties were informed of the facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding and gave them the opportunity to comment. None of them raised any objection,. The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain briefcases and schoolbags originating in the People's Republic of China is hereby terminated..

The Authority concluded that, based on the results of the available studies, the information on gum acacia itself and on other Octenyl succinic acid modified starches, the use of octenyl succinic acid modified gum arabic as an emulsifier in foods at the proposed uses and use levels is not of a safety concern.(7) There is a technological need to use Octenyl succinic acid modified gum arabic as an emulsifier in certain foodstuffs as well as an emulsifier in flavouring-oil emulsions which are added to a variety of foodstuffs as it has improved properties compared to existing emulsifiers. It is therefore appropriate to authorise the use of octenyl succinic acid modified gum arabic in the food categories applied for and to assign number E 423 to that food additive.(8) The specifications for Octenyl succinic acid modified gum arabic should be included in Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 when it is included in the Union lists of food additives laid down in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 for the first time.(9) Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 and Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,. Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 are amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.

whereas, consequently, certain producers were not able to effect the transfers of rights or temporary leases provided for in Article 5a (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 within the time limits provided for in Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 for the 1995 marketing year;

whereas the said rights have been allocated according to the eligible livestock numbers held during the 1991 and 1992 marketing years by those producers; whereas the composition of the flocks held by the said producers may have changed substantially since those marketing years; whereas transfers or temporary leasing of the newly created additional rights should therefore be authorized; whereas Italy and Greece should therefore be authorized to set a second deadline for the notification by the producers concerned of the said transfers or temporary lease of rights in respect of the 1995 and 1996 marketing years;Whereas, for the same reasons, Italy, Greece and the United Kingdom should be authorized, as a special measure for the 1995 and 1996 marketing years, to extend the deadline provided for in Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 for the notification of transfers of premium rights and temporary leasing of those rights;Whereas the setting of a second deadline for the notification of transfers or temporary leasing of rights under the conditions referred to above also makes it necessary to derogate from the provisions laid down in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 in respect of the 1995, 1996 and 1997 marketing years for Italy, Greece and the United Kingdom;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheepmeat and Goatmeat,.

By way of derogation from Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92, for the 1995 and 1996 marketing years, the United Kingdom may set a second deadline for producers meeting one of the following conditions:1. As regards the 1995 marketing year(a) producers offering rights:the total quantity of rights to the premium at their disposal must, at the time of the transfer or leasing operation, exceed the quantity for which the premium has been requested in respect of the 1995 marketing year. In addition, the transfer or leasing operation may, at most, relate only to the difference between the total quantity of rights and the quantity applied for in respect of the said marketing year;(b) producers receiving rights:(i) must not have obtained from the national reserve the entire quantity of rights applied for in respect of the 1995 marketing year,or(ii) must have been the subject of a withdrawal of rights with effect from the 1995 marketing year under the provisions of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 giving rise to that withdrawal, of which they have been notified no earlier than 10 working days before the first deadline fixed by the United Kingdom for the notification of transfers and temporary leases in respect of the 1995 marketing year.2. As regards the 1996 marketing year(a) producers offering rights:the total quantity of rights to the premium at their disposal must, at the time of the transfer or leasing operation, exceed the quantity for which the premium has been requested in respect of the 1996 marketing year. In addition, the transfer or leasing operation may, at most, relate only to the difference between the total quantity of rights and the quantity applied for in respect of the said marketing year;(b) producers receiving rights:(i) must not have obtained from the national reserve the entire quantity of rights applied for in respect of the 1996 marketing year,or(ii) must have been the subject of a withdrawal of rights with effect from the 1996 marketing year under the provisions of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92 giving rise to that withdrawal, of which they have been notified no earlier than 10 working days before expiry of the first deadline set by the United Kingdom for the notification of transfers and temporary leases for the 1996 marketing year. By way of derogation from Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3567/92, for the 1995 and 1996 marketing years, Italy and Greece may specify a second deadline for producers fulfilling one of the following conditions:(a) producers offering rights:the total quantity of rights to the premium at their disposal must, at the time of the transfer or leasing operation, exceed the quantity for which the premium has been requested, or will be requested, in respect of the two said marketing years. In addition, the transfer may, at most, relate only to the number of rights granted pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2134/95;(b) producers receiving rights:the total quantity of rights to the premium at their disposal must, at the time of the transfer or leasing operation, exceed the quantity for which the premium has been requested, or will be requested, in respect of one of the marketing years in question.

The model of health certificate should also be amended to bring it in line with the models of health certificates usually provided for fishery products imported from third countries covered by a specific Decision.(5) However, it is necessary to provide a transitional period for the updating of the model of health certificate.(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,. 1.

Demafer (Case N 180/96) and LMV (Case 181/96) were not in production in 1993.Accordingly, since it was very difficult to determine whether the aid was compatible with the common market, the Commission decided to initiate the procedure provided for in Article 6 (4) of the Steel Aid Code in respect of the five abovementioned cases.IIIn accordance with that procedure, the Commission invited the Italian Government to submit its comments, while the other Member States and interested parties were informed by way of publication of the decision to initiate the procedure.By two letters of 22 August 1996, the German Government and Wirtschaftsvereinigung Stahl notified the Commission of their comments, which were forwarded to the Italian authorities by letter of 16 September 1996. The comments expressed support for the Commission's decision to initiate the procedure.In response to the opening of the procedure and to the comments of third parties, the Italian Government argued the following:- while referring back to the Decision of 12 December 1994, which allowed the Italian authorities to put forward objective criteria whereby plants that had operated at less than 25 % capacity could be eligible for closure aid, the Commission Decision initiating the procedure merely stated that the criteria put forward by Italy as a possible alternative to the concept of 'regular production` were unsuitable,- the criteria the Italian authorities presented to the Commission for consideration were based on the view that the low or zero output recorded by some firms in 1993 and early 1994 was indicative not of a desire to abandon the steel market or of obsolescent or uncompetitive plant but of unfavourable conditions in connection with financial difficulties and a market crisis,- by not redeploying their workforce, preferring instead to use the Cassa integrazione guadagni (wage guarantee fund), implement training schemes or apply for public early retirement benefits in the context of a restructuring plan, the firms clearly showed that they intended to restructure in order to overcome the crisis that was affecting them,- the plants covered by the cases submitted to the Commission for scrutiny are not experiencing any problems of productivity resulting from technical factors. Some have recently benefited under major modernization schemes designed to increase efficiency and, since they have all been regularly maintained, each one could still, at little cost, resume regular production within a short space of time. The best proof of this is the very strong interest numerous potential buyers have shown in the plants,- additional factors should be taken into account, such as the fact that electricity supply contracts have not been terminated, that the firms have remained active on the steel market, and that returns, in particular forms 260-261, have been sent to the ECSC, factors tending to confirm that the reduced or zero output in 1993 is attributable to unfavourable cyclical conditions and that the firms wanted to remain on the market and wait for the right conditions before resuming regular production.IIIBy virtue of their production, the firms are subject to the rules of the ECSC Treaty, Article 4 (c) of which stipulates that subsidies or aid granted by States in any form whatsoever are recognized as incompatible with the common market for coal and steel and are accordingly to be abolished and prohibited within the Community. The only possible exceptions to this general prohibition are set out explicitly and restrictively in the Steel Aid Code, in Article 2 (aid for research and development), Article 3 (aid for environmental protection) and Article 4 (aid for closures).The purpose of the exceptions from the general ban on aid to the steel industry in Article 4 (c) of the ECSC Treaty is not in any way to make the Community rules governing aid to the steel industry less strict, since those rules are justified by the serious distortion of competition that might be caused by aid that is incompatible with the common market in a sector that continues to be very sensitive. It is therefore necessary for those rules to be strictly adhered to, which means that aid to an enterprise in the steel sector may be authorized only if the Commission is satisfied that the requirements of the Steel Aid Code have effectively been complied with.Article 4 of the Steel Aid Code lays down that aid to firms which permanently cease production of ECSC iron and steel products may be deemed compatible with the common market on conditions that those firms:- became a legal entity before 1 January 1991 and have not reorganized their production or plant structure since 1 January 1991,- have been regularly producing ECSC iron and steel products up to the date of notification of the aid,- are not directly or indirectly controlled, within the meaning of Decision No 24/54 of the High Authority (3), by, and do not themselves directly or indirectly control, an undertaking that is itself a steel undertaking or controls other steel undertakings.Article 4 further provides that the amount of the aid may not exceed the higher of the following two values:- the discounted value of the contribution to fixed costs obtainable from plants over a three-year period, less any advantages the aided firm derives from their closure,- the residual book value of the plants (ignoring that portion of any revaluations since 1 January 1990 which exceeds the national inflation rate).The Commission concludes that the cases under consideration satisfy every requirement except the one - regarding regular production - that had led to the initiation of proceedings.In this connection, although it states that, in order to be eligible for aid, a firm must be in regular production at the time of the closure, the Steel Aid Code does not give a precise definition of regular. Accordingly, in its decision authorizing Italian Law No 481 of 3 August 1994, the Commission stated that the requirement concerned would be deemed to be met if the firm receiving the aid had been in production for an average at least one shift per day, i.e. at least eight hours per day, for five days per week for the whole of 1993 and up to 28 February 1994, when Decree-Law No 103/94, converted by the Italian Parliament into Law No 481/94, was notified to the Commission. The Commission decided, moreover, that the Italian authorities should be allowed to demonstrate on the basis of objective criteria that a firm which did not satisfy this requirement had regularly produced ECSC iron and steel products.The Commission was then to examine the aid in the light of the particular circumstances of the case, in order to ensure that the criterion of regular production had been complied with.The purpose of Article 4 of the Steel Aid Code and of the Commission decision of 12 December 1994 is clear: aid for closures may be granted only to firms that are significantly active, or whose production on the market in iron and steel products is regular. The Community legislator did not, however, feel it necessary or advisable to allow an exception to the general prohibition provided for in Article 4 of the ECSC Treaty in the absence of significant effects on the market resulting from the closure of a firm, as the latter is not in regular production.It therefore follows that criteria could, provided they demonstrated the regularity of production, be accepted as an alternative to the one laid down by the Commission in its Decision. The criteria put forward by the Italian Government (non-cancellation of the electricity-supply contract, continued employment of the workforce, investment in plant, maintenance of the facilities, etc.), however, demonstrate not that the firms in question were in regular production, but that they were capable of producing on a regular basis.Article 4 of the Steel Aid Code is drafted in such a way as to rule out a broad interpretation which would allow aid to go to firms which, although they had not been in regular production, were merely capable of producing ECSC products on a regular basis.It would therefore appear that, in the light of the alternative criteria they have put forward, the way in which the criterion of regularity has been interpreted by the Italian authorities is not founded in law and cannot therefore be accepted.As regards the claim made by the Italian authorities that the low output recorded by the firms since 1993 was due to particularly unfavourable cyclical conditions and to a major crisis on the market in long products, it must be stated that production was in fact only slightly down in the case of long products, in particular in the case of wire rod and other bars and sections:>TABLE>The same applies to the market in concrete reinforcing rods - the most important as far as the firms in question are concerned - in respect of which there was a slight reduction in the rate of use of production capacity at both European and Italian level:>TABLE>>TABLE>On the basis of these figures it must be concluded that the argument put forward by the Italian authorities, i.e. that the low level of production of the firms in question was attributable to unfavourable market conditions in 1993, cannot be accepted by the Commission.Relevant though they may be in context of the restructuring of the steel sector, the comments on the positive impact of these irreversible closures on a market featuring heavy overcapacity cannot be accepted in the context of the application of Article 4 of the Steel Aid Code.Finally, concerning the comment by the Italian authorities that the Commission had not proceeded to define any alternative criteria to the one referred to in the authorizing Decision of 12 December 1994, it should be emphasized that it was for the Italian authorities alone to demonstrate, by means of suitable criteria other than the one put forward by the Commission, that production was regular.In the light of the provisions of the Steel Aid Code, the other comments put forward by the Italian authorities are without any legal foundation.The Commission notes, however, that in the case of Diano, which in 1993 had produced 16 807 tonnes of hot-rolled products - equivalent to 21 % of its capacity - the firm carried out major maintenance work in the rolling mill, which had repeatedly involved halting production. In practice, output at Diano, taking account of annual production and the maintenance work described, should have been roughly the same as the figure for 1991, when the firm produced 24 765 tonnes, corresponding to 31 % of capacity. In view of this and, in particular, the capacity utilization rate the firm would have been able to achieve had it not been for the abovementioned major overhaul of its mill, the Commission has reason to believe that the firm in question was in regular production (on average one shift per day, five days per week), at the time of its closure.IVIn the light of the above, in particular Part III of this Decision, it must be concluded that, with the exception of Case ex N 177/96 (Diano), the requirements applicable pursuant to Article 4 of the Steel Aid Code have not been satisfied and that the comments put forward by the Italian authorities are not such as to alter the initial assessment the Commission made when it decided to initiate the procedure provided for in Article 6 (4) of the Steel Aid Code.It should therefore be concluded that the aid Italy plans to grant to:- Lamifer SpA,- Demafer Srl,- Lavorazione Metalli Vari (LMV) SpA,- Sidercamuna SpA,are to be regarded as incompatible with the common market, in that they do not, pursuant to the Steel Aid Code, qualify for exemption from the general prohibition provided for in Article 4 (c) of the ECSC Treaty.However, the plan to grant aid totalling Lit 5 953 million to Diano SpA is compatible with the common market since it satisfies the requirements of Article 4 of the Steel Aid Code,. The State aid which Italy plans to grant, in the context of the restructuring of its private steel sector, to Lamifer SpA, Demafer Srl, Lavorzione Metalli Vari (LMV) SpA and Sidercamuna SpA is incompatible with the common market pursuant to Article 4 (c) of the ECSC Treaty.Accordingly, that aid may not be granted. The State aid which Italy plans to grant, in the context of the restructuring of its private steel sector, to Diano SpA is compatible with the common market.The granting of that aid is therefore authorized. Italy shall inform the Commission, within two months of notification of this Decision, of the measures it has taken to comply with it. This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic..

The Research Grouping contributes both financially and in kind to the objectives of the FCH Joint Undertaking. Given the specific composition of the FCH Joint Undertaking, as well as its rules and the nature, objectives and scope of its activities, the members of the Research Grouping may benefit from the results achieved in the same manner as the members of the Industry Grouping. Therefore, it is justified to allow the in-kind contribution from both the Industry Grouping and Research Grouping to be counted as matching funds.(3) The Research Grouping became a member of the FCH Joint Undertaking, and it is therefore appropriate to consider that in-kind contributions from research organisations (including universities and research centres) match the contribution of the Union, within the meaning of the Statutes of the FCH Joint Undertaking annexed to Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 (hereinafter referred as the ‘Statutes’).(4) The FCH Joint Undertaking has been operating for more than 2 years, and during this period the entire operational cycle with publishing calls for proposals, evaluations of proposals, negotiations of funding and conclusion of grant agreements has been completed. Experience gained during this period has shown that the maximum funding levels in FCH Joint Undertaking projects had to be reduced significantly for all participants. As a result, the level of participation in the actions of the FCH Joint Undertaking proved to be significantly below initial expectations.(5) The Governing Board approved the amendments to Regulation (EC) No 521/2008, in accordance with the Statutes.(6) Allowing in-kind contributions from all legal entities participating in the activities to be counted as matching funding would recognise the membership of the Research Grouping and would improve the funding levels while still respecting the fundamental principle of matching, as well as the need to apply fair and balanced funding reductions to the different types of participants.(7) The running costs of the Programme Office of the FCH Joint Undertaking (hereinafter referred as the ‘Programme Office’) should be covered by its three members. It is appropriate to provide that all members of the FCH Joint Undertaking have the same payment schedule.(8) The Commission should be given some flexibility regarding the measures to be taken in case of insufficient matching.(9) Currently the level of funding is determined after each evaluation of proposals received. To enable beneficiaries to estimate the extent of the potential funding, it should be possible for each call to specify the minimum level of funding.(10) Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly,. Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 is hereby amended as follows:(1) in Article 6, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:(2) the Annex is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. Notwithstanding Article 12(3) of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 521/2008, this amending Regulation shall not affect the rights and obligations arising under the grant agreements and other contracts concluded by the FCH Joint Undertaking before the entry into force of this Regulation.

whereas it is consequently shown to be appropriate, for reasons of clarity, to replace Regulation (EEC) N° 1062/69 and (EEC) N° 1063/69 by a new regulation taking over the new nomenclature as well as the new legal base;

Furthermore, the Council specifically excluded from the scope of the anti-dumping duty certain new models of professional camera systems by adding them to the Annex.(5) In January 1999 and January 2000, the Council, by Regulations (EC) No 193/1999 (5) and (EC) No 176/2000 (6), amended Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 by adding certain successor models of professional camera systems to the Annex and thus excluding those from the application of the definitive anti-dumping duty. In October 2004, the Council, by Regulation (EC) 1754/2004 (7), amended Regulation (EC) No 176/2000.(6) In September 2000, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 (8), confirmed the definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation.(7) In January 2001 and in May 2001, the Council, by Regulations (EC) No 198/2001 (9) and (EC) No 951/2001 (10), amended Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 by adding certain successor models of professional camera systems to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 and thus excluding them from the application of the definitive anti-dumping duty.(8) In September 2001, further to an interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1900/2001 (11) confirmed the level of the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 on imports of TCS from the exporting producer Hitachi Denshi Ltd.(9) In September 2002, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1696/2002 (12), amended Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 by adding certain successor models of professional camera systems to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 and thus excluding them from the application of the definitive anti-dumping duty.(10) In April 2004, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 825/2004, amended Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 by adding certain successor models of professional camera systems to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 and thus excluding them from the application of the definitive anti-dumping duty.B.   INVESTIGATION CONCERNING NEW MODELS OF PROFESSIONAL CAMERA SYSTEMS1.   Procedure(11) Two Japanese exporting producers, namely Sony Corporation (‘Sony’) and Victor Company of Japan Limited (‘JVC’) informed the Commission that they intended to introduce new models of professional camera systems into the Community market and requested the Commission to add these new models of professional camera systems, including their accessories, to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 and thus exempt them from the scope of the anti-dumping duties.(12) The Commission informed the Community industry accordingly and commenced an investigation limited to the determination of whether the products under consideration fall within the scope of the anti-dumping duties and whether the operational part of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 should be amended accordingly.2.   Models under investigation(13) The requests for exemption were received for the following models of camera systems, supplied with the relevant technical information:(i) Sony:— viewfinder HDVF-C30W(ii) JVC:— Camera head KY-F560E3.   Findings(i)   Viewfinder HDVF-C30W(14) It was found that viewfinder HDVF-C30W falls under the product description of Article 1(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000. However, it can only be used with camera heads that do not fall under the product description of Article 1(2)(a) of that Regulation. In particular, the signal-to-noise ratio of these camera heads is 54 dB, whereas the description in Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 for the camera heads requires ‘55 dB or more at normal gain’. Therefore, it was concluded that this viewfinder should be regarded as a professional camera system falling within the definition of Article 1(3)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000. As a result, this viewfinder should be excluded from the scope of the existing anti-dumping measures and added to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000.(15) In accordance with the established Community Institutions' practice, this model should be exempted from the duty from the date of receipt by the Commission services of the relevant request for exemption. Therefore, all imports of Sony-Viewfinder HDVF-C30W imported on or after 1 April 2003 should be exempted from the duty from this date.(ii)   Camera head KY-F560E(16) It was found that camera head KY-F560E, although falling within the product description of Article 1(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000, is mainly used in technical and medical applications. It was therefore concluded that this model was to be regarded as a professional camera system falling within the definition of Article 1(3)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000. It should therefore be excluded from the scope of the existing anti-dumping measures and added to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000.(17) In accordance with the established Community Institutions’ practice, this model should be exempted from the duty from the date of receipt by the Commission services of the relevant request for exemption. Therefore, all imports of JVC-Camera head KY-F560E imported on or after 15 April 2004 should be exempted from the duty from this date.4.   Information of the interested parties and conclusions(18) The Commission informed the Community industry and the exporters of the TCS of its findings and provided them with an opportunity to present their views. None of the parties objected to the Commission's findings.(19) On the basis of the foregoing, Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 should be amended accordingly,. The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 shall be replaced by the text in the Annex hereto. 1.   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.2.   This Regulation shall apply to imports of the following models produced and exported to the Community by the following exporting producers:(a) Sony from 1 April 2003:— Viewfinder HDVF-C30W;(b) JVC from 15 April 2004:— Camera head KY-F560E.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

The Community Tobacco Fund has always been funded by the transfer of part of the tobacco aids. Such transfer for calendar years 2006 and 2007 was initially proposed when the introduction of the tobacco sector into the single payment scheme was to be accompanied by a transitional tobacco aid to be paid in the same years. Council Regulation (EC) No 864/2004 (4) finally extended the tobacco aid to 2008 and 2009 without accordingly extending the funding of the Community Tobacco Fund by a reduction of the tobacco aid.(3) Actions funded by the Community Tobacco Fund have proved to be very successful as well as a positive example of cooperation between agriculture and health policies. In order to ensure the continuation of those actions, and taking into account that the Fund has always been funded by transfer from the tobacco aid, it is appropriate to transfer an amount equal to 5 % of the tobacco aid granted for the calendar years 2008 and 2009 to the Community Tobacco Fund.(4) Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly,.

whereas there is a great variety of different consortia agreements operating in different circumstances; whereas the scope, parties, activities or terms of consortia are frequently altered; whereas the Commission should therefore be given the responsibility of defining from time to time the consortia to which a group exemption should apply;Whereas, in order to ensure that all the conditions of Article 85 (3) of the Treaty are met, conditions should be attached to group exemptions to ensure in particular that a fair share of the benefits will be passed on to shippers and that competition is not eliminated;Whereas pursuant to Article 11 (4) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4056/86 of 22 December 1986 laying down detailed rules for the application of Articles 85 and 86 of the Treaty to maritime transport (4) the Commission may provide that a decision taken in accordance with Article 85 (3) of the Treaty shall apply with retroactive effect;

Where the Commission, either on its own initiative or at the request of a Member State or of natural or legal persons claiming a legitimate interest, finds that in a particular case an agreement, decision or concerted practice to which the group exemption granted by the Regulation adopted pursuant to Article 1 applies, nevertheless has effects which are incompatible with Article 85 (3) of the Treaty or with the prohibition laid down in Article 86 of the Treaty, it may withdraw the benefit of the group exemption from those agreements, decisions or concerted practices and take all appropriate measures for the purpose of bringing these infringements to an end, pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 4056/86.3.

Glycyrrhizinic acid and its ammonium salt are included in the Community register of flavouring substances laid down by Commission Decision 1999/217/EC of 23 February 1999 adopting a register of flavouring substances used in or on foodstuffs drawn up in application of Regulation (EC) No 2232/96 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 October 1996 (3). Exposure to glycyrrhizinic acid and its ammonium salt occur mostly via consumption of liquorice confectionery, including chewing gum, herbal teas and other beverages.(4) The Scientific Committee on Food, in its opinion of 4 April 2003 on glycyrrhizinic acid and its ammonium salt, concluded that an upper limit for regular ingestion of 100 mg/day provides a sufficient level of protection for the majority of the population, consumption above this level may give rise to hypertension. However the Committee noted that within the human population there are subgroups for which this upper limit might not offer sufficient protection. These subgroups comprise people with medical conditions related to disturbed water- and electrolyte homeostasis.(5) These findings make it necessary to provide labelling which gives the consumers clear information on the presence of glycyrrhizinic acid or its ammonium salt in confectionery and beverages. In the case of high contents of glycyrrhizinic acid or its ammonium salt in these products, the consumers, and in particular those suffering from hypertension, should in addition be informed that excessive intake should be avoided. To ensure a good understanding of these information by the consumers, the well known term ‘liquorice extracts’ should be preferably used.(6) Directive 94/54/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(7) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex to Directive 94/54/EC is amended in accordance with the text set out in the Annex to this Directive. 1.   The Member States shall permit trade in products which comply with this Directive from 20 May 2005 at the latest.2.   The Member States shall prohibit trade in products which do not comply with this Directive from 20 May 2006.However, products which do not comply with this Directive and which were labelled before 20 May 2006 shall be authorised while stocks last. 1.   Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 20 May 2005 at the latest.

REQUEST(1) The Commission has received a request, pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China.(2) The request was lodged on 24 February 2004 by the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) on behalf of the sole producer representing 100 % of the Community production of coumarin.B. PRODUCT(3) The product concerned by the possible circumvention is coumarin, normally declared under CN code ex 2932 21 00 (the product concerned) originating in the People's Republic of China. This CN code is given for information only.(4) The product under investigation is coumarin consigned from India and from Thailand (the product under investigation) normally declared under the same CN code as the product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China.C. EXISTING MEASURES(5) The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 769/2002(2).D. GROUNDS(6) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China are being circumvented by means of transhipment via India and via Thailand.(7) The evidence available is as follows:The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China, India and Thailand to the Community has taken place following the imposition of measures on imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China, and that there appears to be insufficient due cause or justification other than the imposition of the duty for such a change. This change in the pattern of trade appears to stem from the transhipment of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China via India and via Thailand.Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of the product concerned from India and Thailand appear to have replaced imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that this increase in imports is made at prices well below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.Finally, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of the product under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China.Should circumvention practices via India or via Thailand covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation, other than transhipment, be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may cover these practices also.E. PROCEDURE(8) In the light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation and to make imports of coumarin consigned from India and from Thailand, whether declared as originating in India or Thailand or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.(a) Questionnaires(9) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in India and Thailand, to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in the People's Republic of China, to the importers and to the associations of importers in the Community which cooperated in the investigation that led to the existing measures or which are listed in the request, and to the authorities of the People's Republic of China, India and Thailand. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Community industry.(10) In any event all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than the time limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation, in order to find out whether they are listed in the request and, if necessary, request a questionnaire within the time limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.(11) The authorities of the People's Republic of China, India and Thailand will be notified of the initiation of the investigation.(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings(12) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.(c) Exemption of registration of imports or measures(13) Since the possible circumvention of the measures in force takes place outside the Community, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers of the product concerned that can show that they are not related to any producer subject to the measures and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Article 13(1) and (2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time limits indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.F. REGISTRATION(14) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied retroactively from the date of registration of coumarin consigned from India and from Thailand.G. TIME LIMITS(15) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:- interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,- producers in India and in Thailand may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,- interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.(16) Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the time limits mentioned in Article 3 of this Regulation.H. NON-COOPERATION(17) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or otherwise does not provide necessary information within the time limits provided in this Regulation, or significantly impedes the investigation, provisional or final findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.(18) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, of facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and use of the best facts available is made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to the party than if it had cooperated,. An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96, in order to determine if imports into the Community of coumarin falling within CN code ex 2932 21 00 (TARIC codes 2932 21 00 11 and 2932 21 00 15 ) consigned from India and from Thailand, whether originating in India or Thailand or not, are circumventing the anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 769/2002 on imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of China. The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Community identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.The Commission, by regulation, may direct customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Community of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found not to be circumventing the anti-dumping duties. 1. Questionnaires should be requested from the Commission within 15 days of publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.2. Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 40 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.3. Producers in India and in Thailand requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 40-day time limit.4. Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 40-day time limit.5. Any information relating to the matter, any request for a hearing or for a questionnaire as well as any request for authorisation of certificates of non-circumvention must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified) and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone, fax and/or telex numbers of the interested party. All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis shall be labelled as ""Limited""(3) and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of the basic Regulation, shall be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which will be labelled ""For inspection by interested parties"".Commission address for correspondence: European Commission Directorate-General for TradeDirectorate BJ-79 5/16B - 1049 Brussels Fax (32-2) 295 65 05 Telex COMEU B 21877 This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

It provides, inter alia, that food business operators may place products of animal origin on the market only if they have been prepared and handled exclusively in establishments that meet the relevant requirements of Annex III thereto.(2) Chapter VII of Section I of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 provides that meat of domestic ungulates may be transported before the temperature required under that Regulation is attained, if the competent authority so authorises to enable the production of specific products, subject to certain conditions.(3) Accepted knowledge concerning appropriate microbiological and temperature criteria show that a similar provision would be beneficial for the production of foie gras to enable the use of traditional methods of production.(4) Freezing carried out immediately after slaughter and chilling minimises the growth of bacteria and therefore the microbiological load upon thawing. Similarly to the provisions already established for meat of domestic ungulates, meat derived from poultry and lagomorphs intended for freezing should be frozen without undue delay after slaughter and chilling. Consequently, it is appropriate to amend Chapter V of Section II of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 accordingly.(5) The rules laid down in Chapter II, of Section VII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 include specific requirements for live bivalve molluscs, live echinoderms, live tunicates and live marine gastropods, as regards the microbiological classification of production areas.(6) Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides that the Member States are to ensure that the production and placing on the market of live bivalve molluscs, live echinoderms, live tunicates and live marine gastropods undergo official controls as provided for in Annex II thereto.(7) Annex II to that Regulation provides that production areas are to be classified according to the level of faecal contamination. Filter feeder animals, such as bivalve molluscs, can accumulate micro-organisms representing a risk for public health.(8) Marine gastropods are generally not filter feeder animals. Consequently, the risk of accumulation of micro-organisms related to faecal contamination may be considered to be remote. In addition, no epidemiological information has been reported to link the provisions for classification of production areas with risks for public health associated with marine gastropods which are not filter feeders. For this reason, such marine gastropods, should be excluded from provisions on the classification of production areas as laid down in Chapter II, of Section VII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.(9) Chapter VI of Section VII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 only provides that individual consumer-sized packages of live bivalve molluscs must be closed and remain closed when transported after leaving the dispatch centre until presented for sale to the final consumer. Accordingly, other packages of live bivalve molluscs are not covered by that requirement. In the interest of public health, it is appropriate to amend that requirement so that all such packages must remain closed until presented to the final consumer.(10) Chapter IX of Section VII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 establishes specific requirements for pectinidae harvested outside classified production areas. Such requirements should also apply to live marine gastropods which are not filter feeders. Point 4 of that Chapter establishes specific rules for the packaging of pectinidae. It is appropriate that the requirements for packages of live bivalve molluscs when transported from the dispatch centre to retail sale be applicable also to pectinidae and marine gastropods which are not filter feeders harvested outside classified production areas.(11) Point A of Chapter III of Section VIII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down requirements for handling of fresh fishery products. The definition of fresh fishery products set out in point 3.5 of Annex I to that Regulation does not include thawed unprocessed fishery products and fresh fishery products to which food additives have been added in accordance with the appropriate legislation to ensure preservation. For consistency of Union legislation, the same requirements as for fresh fishery products should apply to those products.(12) Point 2 of Chapter VII and Point 1(b) of Chapter VIII of Section VIII of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 refers to a derogation for whole frozen fish in brine intended for canning from the general temperature requirement for frozen fishery products of not more than – 18 °C. For fish frozen in brine a temperature of not more than – 9 °C must be achieved for the product.(13) When the whole fish frozen in brine intended for canning is removed from the brine solution used for the freezing process, it is unnecessary that the temperature must be further reduced by other means to not more than – 18 °C according with the common practice applied when using the brine method to freeze whole fish intended for canning.(14) Point 1 of Chapter 1 of Section XIV and point 1 of Chapter I of Section XV of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lay down requirements for raw material used for the production of gelatine and collagen intended for use in food.(15) In January 2005, the European Food Safety Authority published a scientific opinion on the safety of collagen and a processing method for the production of collagen (3). According to this opinion, the use of bones for the production of collagen should not to be considered as a risk for public health It is therefore appropriate to lay down processing requirements in accordance with the opinion of EFSA and specify that the bones used as raw material have to be other than specified risk material as defined in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (4). Point 1 of Chapter I of Section XV of Annex III should be amended accordingly.(16) For consistency of Union legislation, point 1 of Chapter I, point 1 of Chapter III of Section XIV of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 regarding raw materials for the production of gelatine should be amended accordingly.(17) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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..

In Section II, in Chapter V, points 3 and 4 are replaced by the following:‘3. As soon as the meat is cut and, where appropriate, packaged, it must be chilled to a temperature of not more than 4 °C.4. Meat must attain a temperature of not more than 4 °C before transport, and be maintained at that temperature during transport. However, if the competent authority so authorises, livers for the production of foie gras may be transported at a temperature of more than 4 °C, provided that:(a) such transport takes place in accordance with the requirements that the competent authority specifies in respect of transport from one given establishment to another; and(b) the meat leaves the slaughterhouse, or a cutting room immediately and transport takes no more than two hours.5. Meat derived from poultry and lagomorphs intended for freezing must be frozen without undue delay.6. Exposed meat must be stored and transported separately from packaged meat, unless stored or transported at different times or in such a way that the packaging material and the manner of storage or transport cannot be a source of contamination for the meat.’2. Section VII is amended as follows:(a) In the introductory part of that Section, point 1 is replaced by the following:‘1. This Section applies to live bivalve molluscs. With the exception of the provisions on purification, it also applies to live echinoderms, live tunicates and live marine gastropods. Provisions on classification of production areas set out in Chapter II part A of that Section do not apply to marine gastropods which are not filter feeders.’(b) In Chapter VI, point 2 is replaced by the following:‘2. All packages of live bivalve molluscs leaving dispatch centres or destined for another dispatch centre, must be closed. Packages of live bivalve molluscs, intended for direct retail sale, must remain closed until they are presented for sale to the final consumer.’(c) Chapter IX is replaced by the following:1. Pectinidae and marine gastropods, which are not filter feeders, may not be placed on the market unless they are harvested and handled in accordance with Chapter II, Part B, and meet the standards laid down in Chapter V, as proved by a system of own-checks.2. In addition, where data from official monitoring programmes enable the competent authority to classify fishing grounds — where appropriate, in cooperation with food business operators — the provisions of Chapter II, Part A, apply by analogy to pectinidae3. Pectinidae and marine gastropods, which are not filter feeders, may not be placed on the market for human consumption otherwise than via a fish auction, a dispatch centre or a processing establishment. When they handle pectinidae and/or such marine gastropods, food business operators operating such establishments must inform the competent authority and, as regards dispatch centres, comply with the relevant requirements of Chapters III and IV.4. Food business operators handling pectinidae and live marine gastropods, which are not filter feeders, must comply:(a) with the documentary requirements of Chapter I, points 3 to 7, where applicable. In this case, the registration document must clearly indicate the location of the area where the pectinidae and/or live marine gastropods were harvested; or(b) with the requirements of Chapter VI, point 2 concerning the closing of all packages of live pectinidae and live marine gastropods dispatched for retail sale and Chapter VII concerning identification marking and labelling.’3. Section VIII is amended as follows:(a) In the introductory part of that Section, point 1 is replaced by the following:‘1. This Section does not apply to bivalve molluscs, echinoderms, tunicates and marine gastropods if they are still alive when placed on the market. With the exception of Chapters I and II, it applies to such animals when not placed on the market live, in which case they must have been obtained in accordance with Section VII.(b) In Chapter VII, point 2 is replaced by the following:‘2. Frozen fishery products must be kept at a temperature of not more than – 18 °C in all parts of the product; however, whole fish initially frozen in brine intended for the manufacture of canned food may be kept at a temperature of not more than – 9 °C.’(c) In Chapter VIII, point 1(b) is replaced by the following:‘(b) frozen fishery products, with the exception of whole fish initially frozen in brine intended for the manufacture of canned food, must be maintained during transport at an even temperature of not more than – 18 °C in all parts of the product, possibly with short upward fluctuations of not more than 3 °C.’4. In Section XIV, in Chapter I, point 1(a) is replaced by the following:‘(a) bones, other than specified risk materials as defined in Article 3(1)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1);5. Section XV is amended as follows:(a) In Chapter I, point 1 is replaced by the following:‘1. For the production of collagen intended for use in food, the following raw materials may be used:(a) bones, other than specified risk materials as defined in Article 3(1)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001;(b) hides and skins of farmed ruminant animals;(c) pig skins;(d) poultry skin;(e) tendons and sinews;(f) wild game hides and skins; and(g) fish skin and bones.’(b) In Chapter III, point 1 is replaced by the following:‘1. The production process for collagen must ensure that:(a) all ruminant bone material derived from animals born, reared or slaughtered in countries or regions with a controlled or undetermined BSE risk as determined in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 is subjected to a process which ensures that all bone material is finely crushed and degreased with hot water and treated with dilute hydrochloric acid (at a minimum concentration of 4 % and pH < 1,5) over a period of at least two days; this treatment must be followed by pH adjustment using acid or alkali followed by one or more rinses, filtration and extrusion, or by any approved equivalent process;(b) raw material other than that referred to in point (a) must be subjected to a treatment involving washing, pH adjustment using acid or alkali followed by one or more rinses, filtration and extrusion, or by an approved equivalent process; the extrusion step may not be carried out when manufacturing low molecular collagen from raw materials of non-ruminant origin.’(1)  OJ L 147, 31.5.2001, p 1.’ +",food inspection;control of foodstuffs;food analysis;food control;food test;health legislation;health regulations;health standard;foodstuff;agri-foodstuffs product;animal product;livestock product;product of animal origin,13 +17423,"Council Decision of 23 February 1998 appointing an alternate member of the Advisory Committee on Education and Training in the field of Architecture. ,Having regard to Council Decision 85/385/EEC of 10 June 1985 setting up an Advisory Committee on Education and Training in the field of Architecture (1), and in particular Articles 3 and 4 thereof;Whereas, by its Decision of 24 February 1997 (2), the Council appointed Mr Michel REBUT-SARDA, an alternate member of the said Committee for the period ending on 25 February 1999;Whereas the French Government has nominated Mrs Carole VEYRAT to replace Mr Michel REBUT-SARDA,.

Concerning one group and three persons the amended statements of reasons has been provided to them, if possible, in April 2008.(3) By way of a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 22 December 2007 (3) the Council informed the persons, groups and entities listed in Decision 2007/868/EC that it had decided to keep them on the list. The Council also informed the persons, groups and entities concerned that it was possible to request a statement of the Council’s reasons for putting them on the list (where one had not already been communicated to them).(4) The Council has carried out a complete review of the list of persons, groups and entities to which Regulation (EC) No 2580/2001 applies, as required by Article 2(3) of that Regulation. When doing so it took account of observations submitted to the Council by those concerned.(5) In the case of one group, the Council has taken account of the fact that the decision by a competent authority on the basis of which the group was included on the list has not been in force since 24 June 2008. However, new information concerning the group has been brought to the Council’s attention.

For that reason and given the seasonal nature of fruit and vegetable exports quantities should be set product by product using the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). In setting quantities account must be taken of perishability.(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 stipulates that when refunds are set account is to be taken of the existing situation and outlook for prices and availability of fruit and vegetables on the Community market and for international trade prices, of marketing and transport costs and of the economic aspects of the exportation envisaged.(5) Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 requires Community market prices to be determined using the prices that are most favourable from the point of view of exportation.(6) The international trade situation or specific requirements of certain markets may necessitate differentiation of the refund on a given product by destination.(7) Economically significant exports can at present be made of shelled almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts in shell.(8) Since nuts have a relatively long storage life export refunds can be set at longer intervals.(9) In order to permit the best possible use of available resources the export refunds should, given the structure of exportation from the Community, be set using system A1.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables,. 1.   Export refund rates for nuts, the period for lodging licence applications and the quantities permitted are stipulated in the Annex hereto.2.   Licences for food aid purposes issued as indicated in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not be counted against the quantities indicated in the Annex hereto.3.   Without prejudice to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the type A1 licences shall be valid for three months.

That list includes buprofezin.(3) For buprofezin the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 1490/2002 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. For buprofezin the rapporteur Member State was Finland and all relevant information was submitted on 7 July 2005.(4) The assessment report has been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA within its Working Group Evaluation and presented to the Commission on 3 March 2008 in the format of the EFSA conclusion regarding the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance buprofezin (4). This report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 20 May 2008 in the format of the Commission review report for buprofezin.(5) During the evaluation of this active substance, a number of concerns have been identified. In particular it was not possible to perform a reliable consumer exposure assessment as data are missing to determine an appropriate residue definition. Consequently, it was not possible to conclude on the basis of the information available that buprofezin met the criteria for inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the peer review and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments put forward by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted and evaluated during the EFSA expert meetings have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing buprofezin satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.(7) Buprofezin should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing buprofezin are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.(9) Any period of grace granted by a Member State for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing buprofezin should be limited to 12 months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season, which ensures that plant protection products containing buprofezin remain available to farmers for 18 months from the adoption of this Decision.(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for buprofezin according to the provisions of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, the detailed implementation rules of which have been laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 (5), in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Buprofezin shall not be included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Member States shall ensure that:(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing buprofezin are withdrawn by 30 March 2009;(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing buprofezin are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision. Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire on 30 March 2010 at the latest.

Rather, Greenland, being a part of a Member State, is associated to the Union as one of the overseas countries and territories (OCTs).(2) In its preamble, the Greenland Treaty states that arrangements should be introduced which permit close and lasting links between the Union and Greenland to be maintained and mutual interests, notably the development needs of Greenland, to be taken into account, and that the arrangements applicable to OCTs set out in Part Four of the TFEU provide an appropriate framework for those relations.(3) In accordance with Article 198 TFEU, the purpose of association is to promote the economic and social development of the OCTs and to establish close economic relations between them and the Union as a whole. Pursuant to Article 204 TFEU, the provisions of Articles 198 to 203 TFEU apply to Greenland, subject to the specific provisions set out in Protocol (No 34) on special arrangements for Greenland annexed to the TFEU.(4) The provisions for the application of the principles laid down in Articles 198 to 202 TFEU are set out in Council Decision 2013/755/EU (3).(5) In its conclusions of 24 February 2003 on the Mid-term Review of the Fourth Fisheries protocol between the European Community, the Government of Denmark and the Home Rule Government of Greenland, and recognising the geostrategic importance of Greenland to the Union and the spirit of cooperation resulting from the Union’s decision to grant the status of overseas territory to Greenland, the Council agreed that there was a need to broaden and strengthen future relations between the Union and Greenland, taking into account the importance of fisheries and the need for structural and sectoral orientated reforms in Greenland. The Council further expressed its commitment to base the future relationship of the Union with Greenland after 2006 on a comprehensive partnership for sustainable development which would include a specific fisheries agreement, negotiated according to the general rules and principles for such agreements.(6) The Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Community on the one hand, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Rule Government of Greenland on the other hand (4), concluded by Council Regulation (EC) No 753/2007 (5), recalls the spirit of cooperation resulting from the decision to grant the status of overseas territory to Greenland.(7) The Joint Declaration of the European Community, on the one hand, and the Home Rule Government of Greenland and the Government of Denmark, on the other, on partnership between the European Community and Greenland, signed in Luxembourg on 27 June 2006, recalled the close historical, political, economic and cultural connections between the Union and Greenland and emphasised the need to strengthen further their partnership and cooperation.(8) The relations between the Union on the one hand, and Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark on the other, are governed, inter alia, by Council Decision 2006/526/EC (6), which expired on 31 December 2013.(9) The Union needs to build comprehensive partnerships with new actors on the international scene in order to promote a stable and inclusive international order, to pursue common global public goals and to defend core Union interests, as well as to increase knowledge of the Union in third countries and OCTs.(10) The partnership pursuant to this Decision should allow for the continuation of strong relations between the Union on the one hand, and Greenland and Denmark on the other, and should respond to global challenges, allowing for the development of a proactive agenda and the pursuit of mutual interests. The partnership should also be linked to the objectives outlined in the Commission Communication of 3 March 2010 entitled ‘Europe 2020 A strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth’ (the ‘Europe 2020 strategy’), thus providing consistency with the Europe 2020 strategy and the promotion of internal policies and objectives defined in Commission Communications, such as the Commission Communication of 2 February 2011 entitled ‘Tackling the Challenges in Commodity Markets and on Raw Materials’, and facilitating cooperation in the context of the Union's Arctic policy.(11) Union financial assistance should focus on areas where it has most impact, having regard to its capacity to act on a global scale and to respond to global challenges such as poverty eradication, sustainable and inclusive development or the worldwide promotion of democracy, good governance, human rights and the rule of law, its long-term and predictable engagement in development assistance and its role in coordinating with its Member States.(12) The partnership pursuant to this Decision should provide for a framework permitting regular discussions on matters of interest for the Union or for Greenland, such as global issues, where an exchange of views, and a possible convergence of ideas and opinions, could be beneficial for both parties. In particular, the increasing impact of climate change on human activity and the environment, maritime transport, natural resources, including raw materials, as well as research and innovation, calls for dialogue and enhanced cooperation.(13) Union financial assistance, allocated through the partnership, should bring a European perspective to the development of Greenland and should contribute to the strengthening of the close and long lasting ties with it, while strengthening the position of Greenland as an advanced outpost of the Union, based on the common values and history which links the partners.(14) Union financial assistance for the period 2014-2020 should focus on one, or a maximum of two, areas of cooperation, allowing for the partnership’s impact to be maximised and to further allow for economies of scale, synergy effects, greater effectiveness and visibility of the Union's actions.(15) The cooperation pursuant to this Decision should ensure that resource flows are accorded on a predictable and regular basis and are flexible and tailored to the situation in Greenland. To this end, budget support should be used wherever feasible and appropriate.(16) The financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union are laid down in Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), and in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012 (8).(17) The financial interests of the Union should be protected through proportionate measures throughout the expenditure cycle, including through prevention, detection and investigation of irregularities, recovery of funds lost, wrongly paid or incorrectly used and, where appropriate, penalties. Those measures should be carried out in accordance with the applicable agreements concluded with international organisations and third countries.(18) The programming documents and financing measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted by means of implementing acts in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9). Given the nature of those implementing acts, in particular their policy orientation nature and their financial implications, the examination procedure should in principle be used for their adoption, except in the case of technical implementing measures of a small financial scale.(19) Common rules and procedures for the implementation of the Union's instruments for financing external action, laid down in Regulation (EU) No 236/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (10), should apply to the implementation of this Decision, as appropriate.(20) It is appropriate to ensure a smooth transition without interruption between Decision 2006/526/EC and this Decision and to align the period of application of this Decision with that of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (11). Therefore, this Decision should apply from 1 January 2014 until 31 December 2020,. SECTION 1GENERAL PROVISIONS Subject matter, general objective and scope1.   This Decision lays down rules concerning the relations between the Union on the one hand, and Greenland and Denmark on the other (the ‘partnership’).2.   The partnership aims to preserve the close and lasting links between the partners, while supporting the sustainable development of Greenland.The partnership acknowledges the geostrategic position of Greenland in the Arctic Region, the issues of exploration and exploitation of natural resources, including raw materials, and ensures enhanced cooperation and policy dialogue on those issues. General principles of the partnership1.   The partnership shall facilitate consultations and policy dialogue on the specific objectives and areas of cooperation referred to in this Decision.2.   The partnership shall, in particular, define the framework for policy dialogue on issues of common interest for either partner, providing the basis for broad cooperation and dialogue in areas such as:(a) global issues concerning, inter alia, energy, climate change and environment, natural resources, including raw materials, maritime transport, research and innovation; and(b) Arctic issues.3.   In implementing this Decision, coherence shall be ensured with other areas of the Union's external action as well as with other relevant Union policies. To this end, measures financed under this Decision shall be programmed on the basis of the Union's cooperation policies set out, inter alia, in agreements, declarations and action plans, and in accordance with the cooperation strategies adopted pursuant to Article 4.4.   Cooperation activities shall be decided upon in close consultation between the Government of Greenland, the Government of Denmark and the Commission. Such consultation shall be conducted in full compliance with the respective institutional, legal and financial powers of each of the parties. To this end, the implementation of this Decision shall be managed by the Government of Greenland and the Commission in accordance with the roles and responsibilities of each. Specific objectives and main areas of cooperation1.   The specific objectives of the partnership are:(a) to support and to cooperate with Greenland in addressing its major challenges, in particular the sustainable diversification of the economy, the need to increase the skills of its labour force, including scientists, and the need to improve its information systems in the field of Information and Communication Technologies. The achievement of those objectives shall be measured by the percentage of trade balance in GDP, the percentage of the fisheries sector in total exports, and the results of education statistical indicators as well as other indicators deemed suitable;(b) to contribute to the capacity of the administration of Greenland to formulate and implement national policies, in particular in new areas of mutual interest as identified in the Programming Document for the Sustainable Development referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 4(1). The achievement of that objective shall be measured by indicators, such as the number of administrative staff completing training and the percentage of civil servants that are (long-term) residents in Greenland.2.   The main areas of cooperation of the partnership shall include:(a) education and training, tourism and culture;(b) natural resources, including raw materials;(c) energy, climate, environment and biodiversity;(d) Arctic issues;(e) the social sector, mobility of the workforce, social protection systems, food safety and food security issues; and(f) research and innovation in areas such as energy, climate change, disaster resilience, natural resources, including raw materials, and sustainable use of living resources.SECTION 2PROGRAMMING AND IMPLEMENTATION Programming1.   Within the framework of the partnership, the Government of Greenland shall assume the responsibility for the formulation and adoption of sector policies in the main areas of cooperation referred to in Article 3(2) and shall provide the adequate follow-up.On that basis, the Government of Greenland shall prepare and submit an indicative Programming Document for the Sustainable Development of Greenland (the ‘PDSD’). The PDSD shall provide a coherent framework for the cooperation between the Union and Greenland, that is consistent with the overall purpose and scope, objectives, principles and policies of the Union.2.   The preparation and implementation of the PDSD shall comply with the following principles of aid effectiveness: national ownership, partnership, coordination, harmonisation, alignment to national systems, mutual accountability and results orientation.3.   The PDSD shall draw on lessons learned and best practices and shall be based on consultations and dialogue with civil society, local authorities and other stakeholders in order to ensure their sufficient involvement and subsequent ownership of the PDSD.The PDSD shall be adapted to the needs and shall respond to the specific circumstances of Greenland, including climate change impacts and socio-economic development.4.   A draft version of the PDSD shall be the subject of an exchange of views between the Government of Greenland, the Government of Denmark and the Commission.The Government of Greenland shall be responsible for finalising the PDSD. Upon finalisation, the Commission shall appraise the PDSD, to determine whether it is consistent with the aims of this Decision and with the relevant Union policies, and whether it contains all the elements required to adopt the annual financing decision. The Government of Greenland shall provide all the necessary information, including the results of any feasibility studies, for that assessment.5.   The PDSD shall be approved in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 8(2). That procedure shall also apply to substantial reviews which have the effect of modifying significantly the strategy or its programming.The examination procedure shall not apply to non-substantial modifications to the PDSD, such as technical adjustments, reassigning funds within the indicative allocations per priority area, or increasing or decreasing the size of the initial indicative allocation by less than 20 %, provided that those modifications do not affect the priority areas and objectives set out in the PDSD. The Commission shall communicate such non-substantial modifications to the European Parliament and to the Council within one month of the date of adoption of the relevant decision.6.   Any programming or review of programmes taking place after the publication of the mid-term review report referred to in Article 7 shall take into account the results, findings and conclusions of that report. ImplementationUnless otherwise specified in this Decision, Union financial assistance shall be implemented in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 236/2014 and with the overall purpose and scope, objectives and general principles of this Decision. ProcurementThe rules on nationality and origin for public procurement, grant and other award procedures defined in Articles 8 and 9 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2014, applicable to the Development Cooperation Instrument, as established by Regulation (EU) No 233/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (12), shall apply. Mid-term review of the PDSD and evaluation of the implementation of this Decision1.   By 31 December 2017, the Government of Greenland, the Government of Denmark and the Commission shall undertake a mid-term review of the PDSD and its impact on Greenland as a whole. The Commission shall associate all relevant stakeholders, including non-State actors and local authorities.2.   By way of derogation to Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2014, by 30 June 2018, a report shall be drawn up by the Commission on the achievement of the objectives and the European added value of this Decision, by means of results and impact indicators on the efficiency of the use of resources, with a view to adopting a decision on the renewal, modification or suspension of the types of measures financed under this Decision. The report shall also address the scope for simplification, the internal and external coherence of the cooperation established by this Decision, the continued relevance of all its objectives, as well as the contribution of the measures to the Union priorities of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. It shall take into account any findings and conclusions on the long-term impact of Decision 2006/526/EC.3.   The Commission shall require Greenland to provide all the data and information necessary, in line with the principles of aid effectiveness, to permit the monitoring and evaluation of the measures financed under this Decision. Committee1.   The Commission shall be assisted by the Greenland Committee (‘the committee’). That committee shall be a committee within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011.2.   Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 shall apply.3.   Where the opinion of the committee is to be obtained by written procedure, that procedure shall be terminated without result when, within the time-limit for delivery of the opinion, the chair of the committee so decides, or a simple majority of committee members so requests.

PROCEDURE(1) In January 1988, the Commission received a complaint lodged by CECOM, the Committee of European Copier Manufacturers, on behalf of producers of plain paper photocopiers (PPCs) whose collective output constitutes a major proportion of Community production of the product in question. The complaint contained sufficient evidence of the fact that, following the opening of the investigation concerning PPCs originating in Japan (2) which led to the adoption of Council Regulation (EEC) No 535/87 (3) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of those products, a number of companies were assembling PPCs in the Community under the conditions referred to in Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.(2) On 17 February 1988 the Commission announced (4) that it had commenced an investigation in respect of PPCs assembled in the Community by Canon Inc., Konishoroku Photo Industry Co., Matsushita Electric Co. Ltd, Minolta Camera Co. Ltd, Ricoh Company Ltd, Sharp Corporation and Toshiba Corporation. By Council Regulation (EEC) No 3205/88 (5) and Commission Decision 88/519/EEC (6), the findings of the investigation were made known.Subsequent to this investigation, the Commission established that Ricoh Company Ltd had begun production or assembly of the product concerned at its wholly-owned subsidiary in France, Ricoh Industrie France SA.On the basis of these facts, the Commission considered it appropriate that it should investigate the assembly of PPCs in the Community by Ricoh Industrie France SA.Accordingly, after consultation, the Commission announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (7), the initiation of the investigation under the said Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 concerning PPCs assembled or produced in the Community by Ricoh Industrie France SA.(3) The Commission so informed the company concerned, the representatives of Japan and the complainants and gave the interested parties the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.(4) The Company concerned made its views known in writing. The same Company and the complainants requested and were granted hearings by the Commission.(5) No submissions were made by purchasers of PPCs assembled in the Community by Ricoh Industrie France SA. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of the assessment of the nature of the alleged assembly operations and carried out investigations at the premises of Ricoh Industrie France SA.(6) The period of investigation was from 1 November 1988 to 30 April 1989.B. RELATIONSHIP OR ASSOCIATION WITH EXPORTER(7) Ricoh Industrie SA was found to be related to or associated with Ricoh Company Ltd whose exports of PPCs were subject to the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 535/87. In fact it was found to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Japanese company mentioned above.C. PRODUCTION(8) The Commission established that the assembly or production operations carried out by Ricoh Industrie France SA had started after the opening of the anti-dumping investigation on PPCs.D. PARTS(9) The parts were identified according to the provisions of Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. In this context and in line with previous practice, the Commission deemed it appropriate to consider the types of printed circuit board examined during the investigation as single parts, given the nature of their structure.(10) As in previous cases, the value of the parts in question were generally determined on the basis of the company's purchase prices of these parts when delivered to the factories in the Community. The relevant value is that of the parts and materials as they are used in the assembly operations, i.e. on an into-factory basis.(11) The origin of the parts was taken into account according to the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 (1) as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1769/89 (2).(12) The weighted average value of Japanese parts or materials for all models assembled or produced by Ricoh France Industrie SA was found not to have exceeded by at least 50 % the value of all other parts or materials used.Accordingly the anti-dumping duty cannot be extended to the PPCs assembled or produced by the abovementioned company.E. CONCLUSION(13) In view of the foregoing, it is concluded that the investigation under Article 13 (10) of (EEC) Regulation 2423/88 should be terminated without the imposition of anti-dumping duties on PPCs assembled or produced by Ricoh Industrie France SA.. The proceeding under Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, concerning plain paper photocopiers incorporating an optical system corresponding to CN codes ex 9009 11 00, ex 9009 1200 and ex 9009 21 00, assembled or produced by Ricoh Industrie France SA, is hereby terminated..

whereas the quota volumes amount to:- 6 642 tonnes for new potatoes falling within CN codes 0701 90 51 and 0701 90 59 for the period 1 January to 30 June,and - 4 700 tonnes for certain live plants falling within Chapter 6 of the Combined Nomenclature for the period 1 January to 31 December;Whereas for 1989, the duties applicable within the limits of those tariff quotas are equal to 50 % of the basic duties; whereas, however, the products concerned qualify for exemption from import duties on import into that part of Spain which is included in the customs territory of the Community; whereas, where the said products are imported into Portugal, the quota duties applicable are to be calculated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Act of Accession; whereas to qualify for the tariff quota the products in question must comply with certain marking and labelling conditions designed to prove their origin;Whereas equal and continuous access to the quotas should be ensured for all Community importers and the rates laid down for the quotas should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted; whereas, in the light of these principles, allocation of the Community tariff quotas among the Member States would seem such as to preserve the Community nature of the quotas; whereas in order to correspond as closely as possible to the real trend of the market for the products concerned the allocation should reflect the requirements of the Member States based on statistics of imports of those products originating in the Canary Islands during a representative reference period and on the economic outlook for the quota period in question;Whereas, for 1989, it is necessary to maintain the shares for the Member States given that the administrations of the Member States cannot create, by 1989 a technical and administrative basis for Community administration of the quota; whereas, however, it is possible, given the evolution of trade over the last few years, to provide for an increase in the Community reserve;Whereas, during the last three years for which statistics are available, imports of these products into each of the Member States were as follows:(in tonnes) Member States CN codes 0701 90 51, 0701 90 59 new potatoes Live plants 1985 1986 1987 1985 1986 1987 Benelux 21 - 4 144 529 303 Denmark 127 312 180 6 6 6 Germany - - - 220 308 429 Greece - - - - - - Spain 24 - 5 3 880 5 009 4 430 France 38 - - 26 35 89 Ireland - - - - 1 1 Italy - - - 31 44 148 Portugal - - - - - - United Kingdom 6 496 2 531 1 763 177 198 204 Whereas in the last three years the products in question were imported regularly only by certain Member States and not all or only occasionally by the other Member States; whereas, under these circumstances, in the first phase, initial shares should be allocated to the genuine importing Member States and the other Member States should be guaranteed access to the benefit of the tariff quotas when imports actually take place in the latter; whereas these arrangements for allocation will equally ensure the uniform application of the Common Customs Tariff;Whereas, in order to take into account import trends for the products concerned in the various Member States, each quota should be divided into two instalments, the first being shared among certain Member States and the second constituting a reserve to cover the subsequent requirements of these Member States where they have used up their initial shares and any additional requirements which might arise in the other Member States; whereas, in order to give importers in each Member State a certain degree of security, the first instalment of the Community quotas should, under the circumstances, be fixed at 60 % respectively of the quota volumes;Whereas if, during the quota period, the Community reserve is almost totally used up, it is vital that Member States should return to that reserve all the unused part of their initial and, where relevant, additional shares to prevent part of the Community tariff quota remaining unused in a Member State when it could be used in others;Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation relating to the administration of the quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any of its members,. 1. (a) From 1 January to 31 December 1989, on import into the Community, the customs duties applicable for the following products shall be suspended at the levels and within the limits of Community tariff quotas as follows:Order No CN code Description Quota volumes (tonnes) Quota duties (%) 09.0413 ex 0701 90 51 ex 0701 90 59 New potatoes, from 1 January to 30 June 6 642 - from 1 January to 15 May: 7,5 - from 16 May to 30 June: 10,5 09.0429 ex 0601 10 90 ex 0602 10 90 ex 0602 40 11 ex 0602 40 19 ex 0602 99 45 ex 0602 99 49 ex 0602 99 51 ex 0602 99 59 ex 0602 99 70 ex 0602 99 99 Other bulbs, tubers, tuberous roots, corms, crowns and rhizomes, dormant --Other unrooted cuttings and slips -Roses, whether or not budded or grafted --Roses (all the species Rosa), neither budded nor grafted:---With stock of a diameter not exceeding 10 mm ---Other --Other --------Rooted cuttings and young plants --------Other ------Other outdoor plants:-------Perennial plants -------Other -----Indoor plants:------Rooted cuttings and young plants, excluding cacti -------Other aa A A A A A A A A A A A A a A A A A A A A A A A A A s 4 700 4,4,6,5 6,5 6,5 6,5 6,5 6,5 6,5 - from 1 January to 31 December: 6,5 30. 12. 88 Official Journal of the European Communities 1. (b) Within the limits of these tariff quotas, the said products shall be exempt from customs duties on import into that part of Spain which is included in the customs territory of the Community;(c) Within the limits of these tariff quotas, the Portuguese Republic shall apply customs duties calculated according to the relevant provisions of the Act of Accession and the Regulations relating thereto.2. Without prejudice to the relevant provisions applicable as regards quality standards, products covered by this Regulation cannot qualify under the tariff quotas unless, at the time of their presentation to the authorities responsible for the import formalities for the purposes of release into free circulation in the customs territory of the Community, they are presented in packaging which bears the words ´Canary Islands', or the equivalent thereof in another official Community language, in a clearly visible and perfectly legible form.However, live plants originating in the Canary Islands shall be identified by means of the documents to be supplied by the importer to the abovementioned authorities. 1. The tariff quotas laid down in Article 1 shall be divided into two instalments.2. A first instalment of 3 985 and 2 820 tonnes respectively of each tariff quota shall be allocated among certain Member States; the respective shares, which shall be valid until 31 December 1989, shall amount to the quantities indicated below:(a) new potatoes falling within CN codes 0701 90 51 and 0701 90 59:Denmark225 tonnes,United Kingdom3 760 tonnes,(b) certain live plants falling within Chapter 6 of the CN:Benelux170 tonnes,Germany170 tonnes,Spain2 315 tonnes,France26 tonnes,Italy38 tonnes,United Kingdom101 tonnes.3. The second instalment of each quota, i. e. respectively:- 2 657 tonnes for new potatoes falling within CN codes 0701 90 51 and 0701 90 59,and - 1 880 tonnes for certain live plants falling within Chapter 6 of the CN,shall constitute the corresponding Community reserve.4. If an importer gives notification of imminent imports of one of the products in question into another Member State which has not taken part in the initial allocation or has used up its initial share and which applies to take advantage of the corresponding quota the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to these requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve so permits.5. Without prejudice to Article 3, the amounts drawn in accordance with paragraph 4 shall be valid until the end of the period to which the quota applies. 1. Once at least 80 % of the reserve of the tariff quota as defined in Article 2 (3) is used up, the Commission shall notify the Member States.2. It shall also, in this case, notify the Member States of the date from which shares drawn from the Community reserve must be dealt with in accordance with the following provisions:If an importer submits in a Member State a declaration for release for free circulation including an application for preferential treatment for a product referred to under this Regulation, and if that declaration is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw from the reserve referred to in Article 2 (3) a quantity corresponding to these requirements.Applications to draw on the quota volume, showing the date of acceptance of the above declaration must be forwarded to the Commission without delay.Withdrawals shall be granted by the Commission on the basis of the date when the declaration for release for free circulation was accepted by the customs authorities of the Member State concerned, in so far as the available balance so permits.If a Member State does not use up the quantities drawn, it shall return them as soon as possible to the reserve.If the quantities applied for are greater than the available balance of the reserve they shall be allocated pro rata. Member States shall be informed by the Commission by the same procedures.3. Within three working days from the date mentioned in paragraph 2, the Member States shall be obliged to return to the reserve all the unused part of their initial and, where applicable, additional shares within the meaning of Article 5 (3) and (4). The Commission shall keep an account of the shares opened by the Member States pursuant to Articles 2 and 3 and, as soon as it is notified, shall inform each State of the extent to which the reserves have been used up.It shall inform the Member States of the amounts in these reserves after quantities have been returned thereto pursuant to Article 3.It shall ensure that the drawing which exhausts any reserve does not exceed the balance available and, to this end, shall notify the amount of that balance to the Member State making the last drawing. 1. The Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that additional shares drawn pursuant to Article 3 are opened in such a way that imports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares of the Community tariff quotas.2. The Member States shall ensure that importers of the products in question have free access to the shares allocated to them.3. The Member States shall charge the imports of the products concerned against their quota shares as and when the products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation.4. The extent to which a Member State has used up its shares shall be determined on the basis of the imports charged in accordance with paragraph 3. At the Commission's request, the Member States shall inform it of imports actually charged against their shares. This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1989.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

Point (s) of Article 3 of Directive 2003/87/EC defines historical aviation emissions as the mean average of the annual emissions in the calendar years 2004, 2005 and 2006 from aircraft performing an aviation activity listed in Annex I to that Directive. Article 3c(2) of that Directive provides that the total quantity of allowances to be allocated to aircraft operators should be calculated on the basis of that historical average.(4) The Commission has been assisted by Eurocontrol, in accordance with Article 18b of Directive 2003/87/EC, in the calculation of historical aviation emissions for the additional aviation activities. The best available data for the calculation of the historic emissions was considered to be the comprehensive air traffic data contained in Eurocontrol's databases from the Central Route Charges Office and the Central Flow Management Unit. Those provide the actual route length for each individual flight. Emissions were then calculated on a flight-by-flight basis using the Abatement of Nuisances Caused by Air Transport 3 methodology and the Calculation of Emissions by Selective Equivalence methodology. That approach to calculating historic emissions was further enhanced through use of actual fuel consumption information provided voluntarily by a representative number of aircraft operators in order to validate the results.(5) The annual emissions of additional aviation activities in the calendar year 2004 from aircraft performing an aviation activity set out in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC is considered to be 114 024 tonnes of CO2. The annual emissions in the calendar year 2005 from such aircraft is considered to be 126 827 tonnes of CO2, and the annual emissions in the calendar year 2006 from such aircraft is considered to be 127 120 tonnes of CO2. The historical aviation emissions are 122 657 tonnes of CO2.(6) Pursuant to point (viii) of Section 10(I)(1)(a) of Annex V to the Act of Accession of Croatia, by way of derogation from point (d) of Article 3e(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC, for the additional aviation activities, the number of allowances to be allocated free of charge shall be calculated by multiplying the benchmark referred to in point (e) of Article 3e(3) of that Directive by the sum of the tonne-kilometre data included in the applications submitted to the Commission in accordance with point(vi) of Section 10(I)(1)(a) of Annex V to the Act of Accession of Croatia.(7) The Commission has analysed the applications related to the additional aviation activities submitted by Croatia in accordance with point (vi) of Section 10(I)(1)(a) of Annex V to the Act of Accession of Croatia and the calculations of the historical aviation emissions for the additional aviation activities provided by Eurocontrol and concludes that the benchmark specified in point (e) of Article 3e(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC should not be subject to a uniform correction factor as provided for in point (viii) of Section 10(I)(1)(a) of Annex V to the Act of Accession of Croatia.(8) Pursuant to point (iii) of Section 10(I)(1)(a) of Annex V to the Act of Accession of Croatia, by way of derogation from Article 3d(2) of Directive 2003/87/EC, from 1 January 2014, the percentage of the allowances to be auctioned for the additional aviation activities shall be the proportion of the allowances remaining after having deducted the number of allowances to be allocated free of charge under point (d) of Article 3e(3) of that Directive and the number of allowances to be set aside in a special reserve under Article 3f of that Directive.(9) The measures provided for in this Decision have been considered within the Climate Change Committee,. The additional historical aviation emissions for the additional aviation activities are 122 657 tonnes of CO2. The Union-wide total number of allowances for the additional aviation activities relating to each year of the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 is 116 524. Calculations relating to the number of allowances to be allocated for additional aviation activities in accordance with the benchmark referred to in point (e) of Article 3e(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC shall be rounded down to the nearest allowance. The Union-wide total number of allowances to be allocated free of charge for additional aviation activities relating to each year of the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 is 41 584. The additional Union-wide total number of allowances to be set aside in the special reserve is 3 495. The additional Union-wide number of aviation allowances to be auctioned relating to each year of the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 is 71 445.

To that end, the provisions on management of entry/exit schemes and compulsory withdrawal of capacity, in Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, and the rules on access to public aid for the modernisation and for the renewal of fishing vessels should be adapted to the needs of those regions.(4) Any capacity increase for fleets registered in ports of outermost regions should also be limited to that justified by local fishing opportunities and the size of fleets kept in balance with those opportunities. To that end the objectives fixed by the multiannual guidance programmes IV (MAGP IV) for each fleet segment, as established in the Annex to Commission Decision 2002/652/EC of 29 July 2002 amending Decisions 98/119/EC to 98/131/EC in order to prolong the multiannual guidance programmes for the fishing fleets of the Member States until 31 December 2002(4), should be considered as reference levels for, or the upper limit to, the expansion of fleets registered in the French overseas departments, the Azores and Madeira.(5) Specific reference levels should be determined for vessel segments registered in the Canary Islands, for which no specific objectives were fixed in the MAGP IV framework. These reference levels should take account of the capacity of the local fleet in relation to fishing possibilities.(6) It is necessary to prevent vessels registered in the outermost regions from being transferred and used in the mainland after benefiting from more favourable treatment as regards the granting of public aid and/or conditions for entry into the fleet.(7) It is justifiable to apply to the fleets registered in the outermost regions the same rules on fleet capacity management and public aid as are applied to vessels registered in the rest of the Community as soon as the reference levels defined in this Regulation are met, and in any case as from 1 January 2007, except for vessels having received public aid for renewal, where the entry into the fleet might take place until 31 December 2007.(8) To facilitate the implementation of this Regulation, Member States should collect information on vessels registered in the outermost regions. The Commission should be provided with this information and report on it to ensure full transparency of measures implemented.(9) As new general rules for fleet capacity management and public aid have been introduced in Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002 and (EC) No 2792/1999 with effect from 1 January 2003, the specific arrangements for the outermost regions should also apply from that date.(10) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation 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(5),. Specific reference levels1. For the fleet segments registered in the outermost regions as indicated in Article 299(2) of the Treaty the following specific reference levels for fishing capacity shall apply:(a) for the French overseas departments, the Azores and Madeira: the respective MAGP IV objectives for each fleet segment, expressed in kW and GT, for each outermost region at the end of 2002;(b) for the Canary Islands: reference levels that take as their starting point the capacities in kW and GT of the relevant fleet segments for vessels registered in Canary Island ports on 1 January 2003 and may be increased on the basis of fishing opportunities for these segments. Increases may be justified up to the objectives that would have been adopted if MAGP IV procedures had applied to these particular segments and shall be in accordance with the most recent scientific advice validated by the Scientific Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries established pursuant to Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002.2. Implementing rules for this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2). Fleet renewal and modernisationFor the fleet segments covered by Article 1(1):1. by way of derogation from Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002:(a) new capacity may enter the fleet, with or without public aid, within the limits of the specific reference levels indicated in Article 1,(b) the obligation to achieve a reduction in overall fleet capacity of 3 % of the reference levels is not applicable;2. by way of derogation from Article 9(1)(c)(i) of Regulation No 2792/1999, public aid to modernise the fleet in terms of tonnage and/or power may be granted;3. the derogations laid down in paragraphs 1 and 2 above shall cease to apply as soon as the reference levels are reached, and in any case not later than 31 December 2006;4. by way of derogation from Article 9(1)(a) of Regulation No 2792/1999, public aid for the renewal of fishing vessels may be granted until 31 December 2005;5. notwithstanding paragraph 3 above, for fishing vessels having received public aid for renewal, the derogation in paragraph 1(a) above, will cease to apply two years after the public aid for renewal has been granted and in any case not later than 31 December 2007. Transfer of vessels to the continentAny transfer of a vessel from an outermost region to the continent shall be treated as an entry in the continental fleet within the meaning of Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002. Public aid for fleet renewal and for the equipment or modernisation of fishing vessels shall be reimbursed pro rata temporis in the case of transfer of a vessel to the continent before the end of a period of:(a) 10 years in the case of public aid for fleet renewal; and(b) five years in the case of public aid for the equipment or modernisation of fishing vesselsto be dated from the time when the administrative decision to grant aid was taken.

In order to offset, in full or in part, any fall in prices recorded as a result of the application of the Treaty of Accession, Austria and Finland may grant aid to private operators (producers, processors and traders) who, at 00.00 hours on 1 January 1995, own:(a) live animals covered by Chapter I of the CCT;(b) stocks of agricultural products listed in Annex I;(c) stocks of products derived from the products referred to in (b);(d) stocks of products listed in Annex II to the EC Treaty other than those referred to in (a), (b) or (c) and products processed therefrom. 1. The aid provided for in Article 1 may not exceed:(a) in the case of the products referred to in Article 1 (a), (b) and (d), the fall in prices recorded in Austria or Finland:- at the wholesale stage or any other stage constituting the first stage of marketing of the product in question, and- for a period:- considered by those States as representative of the effects of the application of the Treaty of Accession on prices, and- not extending beyond the storage life of the product after the date of accession;(b) in the case of products referred to in Article 1 (c) and those processed from the products listed in Annex II as referred to in Article 1 (d), the maximum laid down in (a) for the products from which they are derived, multiplied by:- a coefficient reflecting value in the case of meat,- a processing coefficient reflecting the impact of the products from which they are derived in the case of other product groups.The coefficients provided for in (b) shall be determined by the Member State in question.2. The maximum provided for in paragraph 1 (a) may be replaced:- in the case of products subject, prior to accession, in the Community and in Austria or Finland, to a price support system by the difference between the prices as subsidized in December 1994 in the abovementioned Member States and the prices as subsidized by the Community in January 1995,- in the case of products subject, prior to accession, to a price support system in Austria or Finland only, by the difference between the prices as subsidized in those Member States in December 1994 and the prices applying in those Member States at the marketing stage referred to in the first indent of paragraph 1 (a) at a time in 1995 which they consider representative for the purposes of calculating the fall in prices as a result of the application of the Treaty of Accession,- in the case of products which, prior to accession, were subject to a price support system in the Community but not in Austria or Finland, by the difference between the prices recorded in these Member States at the marketing stage referred to in the first indent of paragraph 1 (a) at a time in 1994 which they consider representative for the purposes of calculating the fall in prices as a result of the application of the Treaty of Accession and the prices as subsidized in the Community in January 1995.3. The maximums provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not preclude the right of the Member State in question to increase the aid by interest at a rate equal at most to the normal rate on the market in that Member State for the period between 1 January 1995 and the date of payment. 1. Products as referred to in Article 9 (2) of the Treaty which are on the territory of Austria or Finland on 1 January 1995 shall be deemed to be stocks for the purposes of this Regulation.However, products in free circulation on the territory of those Member States shall qualify for the aid provided for in this Regulation only where import thereof took place after the applicable customs duties and charges having an equivalent effect were collected.2. Austria and Finland shall ensure that the aid provided for in Article 1:- does not exceed the amount necessary to offset the fall in prices recorded as a result of the application of the Treaty of Accession,- does not entail duplication with the aid provided for in Article 138 of the Act of Accession where the latter is granted on the same products, as such or after processing,- is not granted on speculative stocks. 1. With a view to the application of this Regulation, Austria and Finland:(a) may undertake an inventory of stocks;(b) shall record prices as provided for in Article 2 (1) (a) on the basis, where possible, of quality standards comparable with those provided for in Community regulations;(c) shall adopt detailed rules on the granting of the aid provided for by this Regulation and on verification thereof. Such detailed rules shall include in particular suitable measures to prevent the aid being granted on speculative stocks.2. Before 31 March 1995, Austria and Finland shall notify the Commission of the quantities which are likely to qualify for the aid provided for by this Regulation. 1. Austria and Finland shall communicate to the Commission the draft measures to introduce the aids provided for by this Regulation. At the same time, they shall specify:- the rate of aid contemplated,- the factors serving to determine it.2. The measures provided for in paragraph 1 may not enter into force before they are approved by the Commission. The Commission may make such approval subject to any condition it considers appropriate with a view to achieving the objectives and observing the provisions of this Regulation.3. Where, within one month of receipt of the communication, the Commission has not expressed any observations with regard thereto, those measures may be implemented. This Regulation shall enter into force on the same date as the Treaty of Accession.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

The Community shall assist Turkey in its efforts to achieve economic and social development. The financial framework for the implementation of this programme for the period 2000 to 2002 is hereby set at EUR 135 million.

The beneficiaries of cooperation projects and operations may include not only the Turkish state and regions but also local authorities, regional organisations, public bodies and departments, including the customs administration, local or traditional communities, business support organisations, cooperatives and civil society, in particular associations, foundations and non-governmental organisations.2. Where an essential element for the continuation of assistance to Turkey is lacking, in particular in the case of violation of democratic principles, the rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms and international law, the Council, acting by qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, may decide upon appropriate measures.3. The Commission shall pass information on its indicative programme to the committee referred to in Article 7 (""MED Committee"") and to the joint parliamentary committee and the EU-Turkey joint economic and social committee. 1. Cooperation projects and operations may be financed in the following indicative areas:(a) modernising manufacturing, improving institutional and infrastructure capacity in areas including the environment, energy and transport, excluding the development of nuclear power, especially in earthquake zones;(b) promotion of industrial cooperation by methods including support for diversification in industry and the establishment of small and medium-sized enterprises;(c) cooperation in telecommunications, infrastructure, rural development and social services;(d) boosting the capacity of the Turkish economy, inter alia by measures to encourage the restructuring of the country's public sector and private initiative;(e) cooperation in protecting health;(f) cooperation in the field of education and training;(g) regional and cross-border cooperation;(h) any form of cooperation seeking to defend and promote democracy, the rule of law, human rights, respect for minorities and the protection and recognition of their cultural identity, and support for measures seeking to abolish capital punishment;(i) any form of cooperation seeking to resolve the Kurdish problem;(j) cooperation on humanitarian issues;(k) measures to promote the development of social dialogue within Turkey and between Turkey and the European Union;(l) all forms of assistance aimed at promoting the development of relations between the European Union and Turkey;(m) promotion of cooperation between the two parties' public administrations with a view to the approximation of legislation and the training of staff, including customs officers.2. Where appropriate, measures could be taken to underpin a structural adjustment programme on the basis of the following principles:(a) support programmes must be tailored as far as possible to Turkey's particular circumstances and take account of economic and social conditions;(b) support programmes must include measures to alleviate any negative impact of the structural adjustment process in social and employment terms, in particular for the most disadvantaged sectors of the population;(c) account must be taken of Turkey's economic situation, and in particular regional economic imbalances, its level of indebtedness, debt servicing charges, balance of payments and foreign currency supply, monetary situation, per capita gross domestic product and unemployment level. 1.

For 1994 imports from third countries, for free circulation in Spain, of a maximum quantity of two million tonnes of maize and 300 000 tonnes of sorghum shall be effected as provided in the following Articles. 1. The quantities referred to in Article 1 shall be reduced in proportion to any quantities of maize gluten, brewers' grains and citrus pulp imported into Spain from third countries during the year 1994. Where it is ascertained that the quantities for such products imported into Spain under the cover of documents establishing their Community status develop abnormally, the necessary action shall be taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 (5).2. The quantities of maize and sorghum referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated to processing or use in Spain. 1. Without prejudice to Article 4, for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain, within the quantitative limits set in Article 2, a reduction shall be applied to the levy fixed in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92.2. The amount of the reduction shall be fixed, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, at a level enabling disturbance of the Spanish market to be avoided. The reduction may also be fixed by a tendering procedure.The reduction may be differentiated for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain under Regulation (EEC) No 715/90.3. The reduction shall be applied to imports of maize and sorghum into Spain effected on the basis of a licence valid only in that Member State. 1. With a view to effecting the imports referred to in Article 1, it may be decided, under the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, that the Spanish intervention agency shall purchase directly on the world market quantities of maize and sorghum to be determined, and shall place them under customs warehousing procedure as provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (6) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (7).2. Quantities purchased pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be put up for sale on the Spanish domestic market, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, on terms enabling market disturbance to be avoided.3.

In accordance with Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC, the Federal Republic of Germany is authorised from 1 January 2003 until 31 December 2005 to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty to fuels with a maximum sulphur content of 10 ppm (parts per million) provided that the differentiated rates are in accordance with the obligations laid down in Council Directive 92/82/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the approximation of the rates of excise duties on mineral oils(3), and in particular the minimum rates of excise duty provided for in Articles 4 and 5 thereof.

provisions of the Schengen acquis on data protection and on the provisional putting into effect of parts of the provisions of the Schengen acquis on the Schengen Information System for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. ,Having regard to Council Decision 2000/365/EC of 29 May 2000 concerning the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis (1), and in particular Article 6(1) and (3) thereof,Whereas:(1) By Decision 2000/365/EC, the Council authorised the United Kingdom to participate in parts of the Schengen acquis.(2) Following the notifications of the United Kingdom of its wish to make use of the possibilities in accordance with Article 10(4) and (5) of Protocol No 36 on transitional provisions, annexed to the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), Decision 2000/365/EC has been amended by Council Decision 2014/857/EU (2).(3) In accordance with Article 4 of Protocol No 19 on the Schengen acquis integrated into the framework of the European Union (‘Schengen Protocol’), annexed to the TEU and to the TFEU, Decision 2000/365/EC specifies in Article 6(3) thereof read in conjunction with Article 6(1) thereof, that the provisions referred to in Article 1(a)(ii) thereof, as well as other relevant provisions concerning the Schengen Information System (SIS) adopted since 1 December 2009, but not yet put into effect, are to be put into effect, between the United Kingdom and the Member States and other States for which these provisions have already been put into effect, when the preconditions for the implementation of those provisions have been fulfilled, by an implementing decision taken by the Council, acting with the unanimity of its members as referred to in Article 1 of the Schengen Protocol and of the representative of the Government of the United Kingdom.(4) In November 2012, the United Kingdom expressed its intention to commence implementation of the following parts of the Schengen acquis: the SIS and the related data protection rules.(5) In July 2013, a questionnaire was forwarded to the United Kingdom, whose replies were recorded, and a subsequent verification and evaluation visit was carried out in the United Kingdom in accordance with the procedures applicable in the area of data protection.(6) As regards the application of the Schengen acquis relating to data protection, the replies to the questionnaire, and the visit carried out in October 2013 demonstrated that the requirements relating to legislation, manpower levels, infrastructure and material resources had been satisfied.(7) Therefore, the Council was in a position to conclude on 3 March 2014 that the preconditions for the implementation by the United Kingdom of the provisions of the Schengen acquis as referred to in Article 1(a)(ii) of Decision 2000/365/EC, in so far as they relate to data protection, have been fulfilled, allowing those provisions and their subsequent developments to be provisionally put into effect for the United Kingdom.(8) The United Kingdom indicated that it was ready to provisionally put into effect the parts of the Schengen acquis referred to in Article 1(a)(ii) of Decision 2000/365/EC, in so far as they relate to the functioning of the SIS, as from 13 February 2015.(9) Within six months from the date of the provisional putting into effect of those parts of the Schengen acquis, evaluation visits should be carried out in the United Kingdom to evaluate the functioning of the SIS in order to verify whether the SIS functions properly and whether Council Decision 2007/533/JHA (3) is being applied correctly.(10) In accordance with the second paragraph of Article 23 of Council Regulation (EU) No 1053/2013 (4), the Decision of the Executive Committee of 16 September 1998 (5) (‘Decision of 16 September 1998’) continues to apply until 1 January 2016 with respect to the evaluation procedures of the United Kingdom for the purpose of that evaluation.(11) In view of the outcome of that evaluation, the final putting into effect of the relevant parts of the SIS for the United Kingdom should be subject to a further Council implementing decision adopted in accordance with Article 6(1) and (3) of Decision 2000/365/EC read in conjunction with Article 4 of the Schengen Protocol.(12) This Decision should therefore put into effect provisionally the parts of the Schengen acquis referred to in Article 1(a)(ii) of Decision 2000/365/EC, in so far as they relate to the functioning of the SIS. Upon the successful completion of the above evaluations, the Council should, by 31 October 2015, examine the situation with a view to adopting an implementing decision setting the date for their final putting into effect.(13) In accordance with Article 2 of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway on the establishment of rights and obligations between Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, on the one hand, and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway, on the other, in areas of the Schengen acquis which apply to these States (6), the Mixed Committee, established pursuant to Article 3 of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the latters' association with the implementation, application, and development of the Schengen acquis (7), has been consulted in accordance with Article 4 thereof with regard to the preparation of this Decision.(14) As regards Switzerland, this Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation's association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (8) which fall within the area referred to in Article 1 of Council Decision 1999/437/EC (9) read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2008/146/EC (10).(15) As regards Liechtenstein, this Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Protocol between the European Union, the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on the accession of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation's

The Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and at the request of a Member State, may, by a qualified majority, authorise that State to impose limits on the exhibition, whether in specialist or in non-specialist cinemas, of foreign films in the language of their country of origin where such language is that of the region in which the cinema is situated. Import quotas for films having the nationality of one or more Member States shall be abolished by 31 December 1966 at the latest.The Federal Republic of Germany shall, however, during the transitional period, retain the power to limit the importation of films having the nationalty of one or more Member States and in respect of which the national censorship authority has granted a certificate more than four years before the date on which the application to import is submitted to the competent authorities.Abolition of import quotas gives the right to import prints, dupes an advertising material without restriction.

In order to take account of this Memorandum of Understanding the Commission subsequently adopted Regulation (EC) No 1084/2005.(2) It is necessary to clarify the destination of shipments to the Community indicated in footnote 3 of the table shown under (b) in Annex V of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93, as well as a specific conversion rate for children’s garments for textiles category 4.(3) It is necessary to provide for arrangements for the treatment of goods sent out from the Community to China for Processing Traffic (OPT).(4) These arrangements on OPT should be reflected in Annex VII of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93.(5) The quantitative limits laid down in the Memorandum of Understanding have been reached for several product categories. As a consequence, a considerable amount of goods are blocked at the Community ports which creates unexpected difficulties for the normal conduct of trade.(6) On 5 September 2005, the European Commission and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce concluded consultations on how to deal with the problems caused by exports of textile and clothing from China in excess of the quantities established in the Memorandum of Understanding. As a result it was agreed to provide for additional quantities for the categories concerned and to introduce certain flexibilities.(7) In order to take into account of the arrangement agreed by the European Commission and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce it is necessary to adjust the quantitative limits for imports of textile and clothing products originating in China for 2005 and 2006 and to provide for certain flexibilities. Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) In addition, given the particular circumstances of this situation, it is appropriate to provide for additional quantities in order to allow for the release of all textile and clothing products which are currently blocked.(9) In view of the urgency of the matter, the Regulation should enter into force without delay.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee set up by Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93,. Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 is amended as follows:1. Annex V is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation;2. in Annex VII the table is replaced by the table set out in Annex II to this Regulation;3. in Annex VIII the table is replaced by the table set out in Annex III to this Regulation.

Import authorisations for such products shall be granted automatically and without quantitative limits by the competent authorities of the Member States, upon adequate proof, such as the bill of lading, and the presentation of a signed declaration by the importer, that the goods have been shipped to the Community before that date. By way of derogation of Article 2(2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93, imports of goods shipped before 11 June 2005 shall also be released for free circulation upon the presentation of a surveillance document issued in accordance with Article 10a(2a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93.Import authorisations for goods shipped to the Community between 11 June 2005 and 12 July shall be granted automatically and cannot be denied on the grounds that there are no quantities available within the 2005 quantitative limits. However, the import of all products shipped from 11 June 2005 will be counted against the 2005 quantitative limits.The granting of import authorisations will not require the presentation of the corresponding export licenses for goods shipped to the Community before China has put in place its export licensing system (20 July 2005).Applications for import licences for the import, from the date of entry into force of this Regulation, of goods that have been shipped between 11 June 2005 and 19 July 2005 (inclusive) shall be presented to the competent authorities of a Member State no later than 20 September 2005.Goods shipped before 12 July do not need to have been shipped directly to the Community to benefit from the exemption of quantitative limits, although the competent authorities of the Community may deny such benefits if they have reasons to suspect that they have been shipped to another destination before 12 July in order to circumvent this Regulation, in case such transactions do not respond to normal business practices or purely logistical reasons. By way of example, are considered as corresponding to a normal conduct of business goods shipped to distribution centres for the importing companies, or when the importer can present a contract or letter of credit preceding the date of shipment, or when the goods have been transhipped outside China onto another means of transport within a reasonably short period of time.The increases to the agreed levels introduced by the Regulation (EC) No 1478/2005 are made available to enable the issuance of import licences for goods shipped to the Community between 13 and 19 July 2005, or for goods shipped to the Community after 20 July 2005 with a valid Chinese export licence, which are in excess of the agreed levels introduced by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1084/2005 in Annex V to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93.Should any goods shipped to the Community between 13 and 19 July 2005 exceed these levels, the Commission may authorise the issuance of further import licences after informing the Textiles Committee, and after effecting the transfer of 2 072 924 kg of products of category 2 as provided for in Annex VIII.(4)  See Appendix A.’ANNEX IIIn Annex VII to Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 the table is replaced by the following:‘TABLECOMMUNITY QUANTITATIVE LIMITS FOR GOODS RE-IMPORTED UNDER OPTThird country Category Unit Community quantitative limits2005Belarus GROUP IB4 1 000 pieces 4 7335 1 000 pieces 6 5996 1 000 pieces 8 8007 1 000 pieces 6 6058 1 000 pieces 2 249GROUP IIB12 1 000 pairs 4 44613 1 000 pieces 69715 1 000 pieces 3 85816 1 000 pieces 78621 1 000 pieces 2 56724 1 000 pieces 66126/27 1 000 pieces 3 21529 1 000 pieces 1 30473 1 000 pieces 4 99883 tonnes 664GROUP IIIB74 1 000 pieces 872Serbia (1) GROUP IB5 1 000 pieces6 1 000 pieces7 1 000 pieces8 1 000 piecesGROUP IIB15 1 000 pieces16 1 000 piecesVietnam (2) GROUP IB4 1 000 pieces5 1 000 pieces6 1 000 pieces7 1 000 pieces8 1 000 piecesGROUP IIB12 1 000 pairs13 1 000 pieces15 1 000 pieces18 tonnes21 1 000 pieces26 1 000 pieces31 1 000 pieces68 tonnes76 tonnes78 tonnesThird country Category Unit Specific agreed levels11 June to 31 December 2005 (3) 2006 2007China GROUP IB4 1 000 pieces 208 408 4495 1 000 pieces 453 886 9756 1 000 pieces 1 642 3 216 3 5387 1 000 pieces 439 860 946GROUP IIB26 1 000 pieces 791 1 550 1 70531 1 000 pieces 6 301 12 341 13 575(1)  Quantitative restrictions for Serbia do not apply pursuant to the Agreement between the European Community and Serbia on trade in textile products (OJ L 90, 8.4.2005, p. 36).

The precise choice of material is, in this context, an essential element in order to meet several of the essential safety requirements for pressure equipment in accordance with the relevant requirement of Mandate M/071 to CEN.(6) Section 4 of standard EN 3-9:2006 does not specify the types of materials to be used. The standard only precludes the use of non-metallic materials for bodies of operating devices and it requires that the materials of the components that may be in contact with the contents shall be compatible with both the contents and the material of other components. Therefore, in the absence of concrete technical specifications, section 4 of EN 3-9:2006 can not confer the presumption of conformity to the requirements of point 4 of Annex I to Directive 97/23/EC.(7) With regard to section 5 (design) of standard EN 3-9:2006, and in particular sections 5.1 and 5.2, Sweden is of the opinion that they do not contain technical requirements with regard to the design of CO2 containers for adequate strength as regards pressure containment. Sweden considers that these clauses do not comply with points 2.3 and 2.9 of Annex I to Directive 97/23/EC.(8) Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of standard EN 3-9:2006 do not contain any specific requirements on the design of the cylinder and of the operating device, neither any detailed technical solution to ensure safe filling and discharge. Therefore, they are not sufficient to confer the presumption of conformity to the requirements of safe handling and operation in point 2.3 and of safe filling and discharge in point 2.9 of Annex I to Directive 97/23/EC.(9) Sweden also considers that section 5.4 of standard EN 3-9:2006 does not comply with point 2.11.2 of Annex I to Directive 97/23/EC.(10) Section 5.4 of standard EN 3-9:2006 states that the bursting disc safety device of the extinguisher must be activated when the pressure is between 10 % more than the maximum allowable pressure PS and the test pressure PT. The bursting disc is classified in the standard as a safety accessory. However, the bursting disc is not a typical pressure limiting device but rather a protection device, as it intends to limit damage in case of overfilling or overheating. Furthermore, point 2.11.2 of Annex I to Directive 97/23/EC on pressure limiting devices requires that these devices are so designed that the pressure will not permanently exceed the maximum allowable pressure PS and that only a short-duration surge may exceed PS and even then only 10 %. Therefore, this section can not confer the presumption of conformity to Directive 97/23/EC.(11) In the view of Sweden, section 6 of standard EN 3-9:2006 (manufacturing of the assembled extinguisher) is intended, according to its Annex ZA, to ensure compliance with the requirements of point 2.8 (Assemblies) of Annex I to Directive 97/23/EC. However, point 2.8 of Annex I to that Directive relates rather to the design and not to the manufacturing of the assembled extinguisher.(12) Point 2.8 of Annex I to Directive 97/23/EC contains design requirements for the assemblies, in order to ensure the suitability of the different components, their proper integration and appropriate assembly to an integrated and functional whole. Point 3 of Annex I to that Directive contains detailed requirements relating to manufacturing.(13) Section 6 of standard EN 3-9:2006 does not contain specific requirements with regard to the design. It contains rather general information on both the design and manufacturing, without however being sufficient to confer the presumption of conformity to the requirements of point 2.8 of Annex I to Directive 97/23/EC. Furthermore, as the content of this section does not correspond to the relevant requirements of the Directive, it might create confusion.(14) Finally, Sweden considers that section 8 of standard EN 3-9:2006 does not comply with the requirements of point 3.3 of Annex I to Directive 97/23/EC, as two of the most important parameters, the maximum allowable pressure PS and the maximum allowable temperature (TSmax) are missing.(15) Directive 97/23/EC contains in point 3.3 of Annex I detailed requirements on the marking and labelling of pressure equipment. This includes, for all pressure equipment, information on the essential maximum/minimum allowable limits.(16) Section 8 of standard EN 3-9:2006 contains marking requirements on the maximum allowable pressure PS, but not on the allowable minimum and maximum temperature (TSmin/TSmax). Therefore, it is not sufficient to confer the presumption of conformity to point 3.3 of Annex I to Directive 97/23/EC.(17) In addition, the overall assessment of the structure and the content of standard EN 3-9:2006 is unclear as to whether it addresses the design requirements for the assembly only (portable pressure extinguisher) or also covers the design of the components and the manufacturing phase of the assembly. It is liable to create confusion as to its scope and the relationship between its clauses and the essential requirements of Directive 97/23/EC.(18) Therefore, on the basis of EN 3-9:2006, of the information received in the framework of the consultation of the national authorities, CEN and industry and following assessment of all aspects concerned, it results that harmonised standard EN 3-9:2006 fails to meet the corresponding essential requirements of Directive 97/23/EC.(19) The references of standard EN 3-9:2006 should therefore not be published in the Official Journal of the European Union,. The reference of standard EN 3-9:2006 ‘Portable fire extinguishers — Part 9: Additional requirements to EN 3-7 for pressure resistance of CO2 extinguishers’ shall not be published in the list of standards published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Articles 14, 15 and 16 of that Regulation lay down the conditions for the payment of the refund when a differentiated refund applies and in particular the documents to be presented to prove the arrival of the product at destination.(2) When a differentiated refund applies, Article 18(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 lays down that part of the refund, calculated using the lowest refund rate, is be paid on application by the exporter once proof is furnished that the product has left the customs territory of the Community.(3) Council Regulation (EC) No 2851/2000(5) establishes certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and provides for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with the Republic of Poland. One of those concessions is the abolition of refunds for common wheat, flour and bran exported to Poland.(4) Article 7a of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of 23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 409/2001(7), lays down the operators must present to the competent authorities on import into Poland of certain products falling within CN codes 1001 90, 1101, 1102 and ex 2302 certified copies of the export licence and of the relevant export declaration. The export licence includes specific information guaranteeing that no export refund has been granted on the products concerned. The Polish authorities have undertaken to check compliance with Article 7a of Regulation (EC) No 1162/95.(5) Account must therefore be taken of those special arrangements, which entered into force on 1 March 2001, when applying the above provisions of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 so as not to impose unnecesary costs on exporters trading with third countries. To that end, no acocunt should be taken of the fact that no refund has been fixed for the destination concerned in determining the lowest rate of refund.(6) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95(8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2513/98(9), lays down certain detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals and should therefore be amended to insert the derogations required for Regulation (EC) No 800/1999.(7) This Regulation should enter into force immediately.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,. The following Article 13a is added to Regulation (EC) No 1501/95:""Article 13a1. Where the differentiation of the refund is the result solely of a refund not having been fixed for Poland, and notwithstanding Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, proof that customs formalities for importation have been completed shall not be required for payment of the refund for products falling within CN codes 1001 90, 1101, 1102 and ex 2302.2.

However, according to that Article, the threshold of 6 % may be increased by Commission decision.(2) On 19 October 2012 Italy requested, through the computer system for data exchange, that the threshold be increased to 9 % for aid measures granted by Italy for the temporary cessation of fishing activities.(3) The request submitted by Italy concerns support from the European Fisheries Fund as regards public aid to fishers and owners of fishing vessels for temporary cessation measures adopted on the basis of Article 24(1)(v) of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 in the context of management plans adopted at national level within the framework of Union conservation measures which provide for gradual reductions of fishing effort. The national management plans for the Mediterranean fleet of trawlers adopted on 20 May 2011 provide, in accordance with Article 19 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 of 21 December 2006 concerning management measures for the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea (2), for measures imposing gradual reductions of fishing effort.(4) The increase of the threshold from 6 % to 9 % has been requested by Italy, on the basis of past tenders and resulting expenditures, to provide sufficient financial allocations for the call for tenders covering the period running from 2013 to 2015.(5) Considering the situation of crisis of the fleet concerned and the increased number of economic operators ceasing fishing activities in that fleet, Italy has the need to attain and go beyond the overcapacity reduction objectives set out in the operational programme for Community assistance from the European Fisheries Fund in Italy for the programming period 2007-2013, which will be adjusted following the adoption of this Decision.(6) The allocations for temporary cessation of fishing activities under the operational programme for Community assistance from the European Fisheries Fund in Italy for the programming period 2007-2013, as approved by Commission Decision C(2007) 6792 of 19 December 2007, have almost been exhausted and additional allocations for temporary cessation of 8 % pursuant to the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 744/2008 (3) are no longer applicable.(7) The financial contribution from the European Fisheries Fund to temporary cessation measures pursuant to Article 24(1)(i) to (vi) of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 should therefore be increased to a maximum of 9 % of the Union financial assistance allocated to the fisheries sector in Italy.(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the European Fisheries Fund Committee,. For Italy, the threshold of 6 % set in Article 24(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 for the Union financial contribution to aid measures for the temporary cessation of fishing activities may be exceeded up to 9 % of the Union financial assistance allocated to that Member State by Commission Decision C(2007) 6792 of 19 December 2007, provided that the amount of the Union financial contribution exceeding the 6 % threshold is used exclusively to implement aid measures for the temporary cessation of fishing activities based on Article 24(1)(v) of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006, in the framework of management plans adopted at national level under Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 for the Mediterranean fleet of trawlers on 20 May 2011..

These doughs should not raise under cooling conditions, but the raising should be activated during the final preparation by the consumer. Sodium bicarbonate is mainly responsible for the raising, while yeast with low raising activities is particularly needed to develop the typical aromatic taste. The diphosphates are required as acidity regulators in order to control the carbon dioxide formation from the sodium bicarbonate.(5) Such a raising system based on sodium bicarbonate, diphosphates and yeast can be used as an alternative to the use of self-raising flour in which higher levels of phosphates are authorised. The authorisation of the use of diphosphates in prepared yeast based doughs will thus not result in an increase of intake of phosphates. It is therefore appropriate to authorise the use of diphosphates as a raising agent and acidity regulator in yeast based doughs used as basis for pizzas, quiches, tarts and similar products.(6) Pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, the Commission is to seek the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority in order to update the Union list of food additives set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, except where the update in question is not liable to have an effect on human health. Since the authorisation of the use of diphosphates as acidity regulator in yeast based doughs used as basis for pizza's, quiches, tarts and similar products is not considered of safety concern, it is not necessary to seek the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority.(7) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,. Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

That list includes bone oil.(3) For bone oil acid the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 and (EC) No 2229/2004 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. For bone oil the rapporteur Member State was Belgium and all relevant information was submitted in October 2006.(4) The Commission examined bone oil in accordance with Article 24a of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. A draft review report for that substance was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 26 September 2008 in the format of the Commission review report.(5) During the examination of this active substance by the Committee, taking into account comments received from Member States, it was concluded that there are clear indications that it may be expected that it has harmful effects on human health and in particular the crucial missing data does not allow to set reliable acceptable daily intake (ADI) and acute reference dose (ARfD) and such values are necessary to conduct the risk assessment. In addition, the operator exposure is greater than 100 % of the acceptable operator exposure level (AOEL) in all modelled scenarios. Moreover, other concerns which were identified by the rapporteur Member State in its assessment report are included in the review report for the substance.(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the examination of bone oil and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments put forward by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing bone oil satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.(7) Bone oil should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing bone oil are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.(9) Any period of grace granted by a Member State for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing bone oil should be limited to 12 months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season, which ensures that plant protection products containing bone oil remain available for 18 months from the adoption of this Decision.(10) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for bone oil in accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (4), in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Bone oil shall not be included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Member States shall ensure that:(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing bone oil are withdrawn by 12 June 2009;(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing bone oil are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision. Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire on 12 June 2010 at the latest.

whereas it is therefore necessary to develop appropriate indicators to monitor progress in this area;(5) Whereas forward analyses and market monitoring at Community and Member State levels are essential for the development of an adequate strategy for the medium and long term; whereas shared analyses with Member States and interested parties should be encouraged in this field;(6) Whereas security of energy supplies is one of the key energy policy objectives; whereas in the context of growing external energy dependency of the European Community, it is necessary to monitor closely and analyse energy market trends both within the Community and at world level;(7) Whereas, to ensure competitive energy prices, it is essential to monitor regularly at Community level the implementation process of the two key liberalisation Directives which have recently been adopted for the electricity and gas markets;(8) Whereas this monitoring process should be based on cooperation with Member State administrations and regulators, facilitating the exchange of best practices and ensuring greater transparency along the lines of the model initiated by the Commission for the internal electricity and gas markets;(9) Whereas provision should therefore be made within the multiannual framework programme for actions in the energy sector (1998-2002) adopted by Decision 1999/21/EC, Euratom (4), for a specific programme of studies, analyses, forecasts and other related work in the energy sector;(10) Whereas, in order to ensure that Community aid is used efficiently and duplication of work avoided, the Commission should ensure that projects are subject to thorough prior appraisal; whereas it should systematically monitor and evaluate the progress and results of supported projects;(11) Whereas some of these activities should be open to participation by international organisations responsible for energy matters, such as the International Energy Agency and the Energy Charter Secretariat, bodies representing industry, other interested parties, for example environmental organisations and consumers, and certain third countries, in accordance with the rules governing the Community's relations with those organisations and countries;(12) Whereas this set of actions should be coordinated with the other activities of the Community, the Member States, third countries and international organisations;(13) Whereas it is politically and economically desirable to open up this programme to the associated central and eastern European countries in accordance with the conclusions of the Copenhagen European Council of 21-22 June 1993 and as outlined in the Commission communication on that subject in May 1994; whereas it should also be open to Cyprus;(14) Whereas a financial reference amount, within the meaning of point 2 of the Declaration by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 6 March 1995 (5), is included in this Decision for the entire duration of this programme, without thereby affecting the powers of the budgetary authority as they are defined by the Treaty; whereas account should be taken of the fact that a new financial perspective will be negotiated during the course of this programme;(15) Whereas the Treaty does not provide powers for the adoption of this Decision, other than those in Article 235 thereof,. Within the multiannual framework programme for actions in the energy sector, a specific programme of studies, analyses, forecasts and other related work concerning the future development of energy policy within the Community, hereinafter referred to as 'the ETAP programme`, shall be implemented by the Community for the period 1998-2002.In addition to the priority objectives referred to in Article 1(2) of Decision 1999/21/EC, Euratom, the objectives of the ETAP programme shall be:(a) to establish a shared approach in the Community to studies, analyses, forecasts and other related work in the energy sector;(b) to promote coordinated analyses of energy markets and policies at the level of the Community and the Member States;(c) to analyse and evaluate energy market trends in Europe and the world, inter alia in relation to security of supply and competitiveness;(d) to analyse and evaluate the impact of energy production and use on the environment, including in relation to climate change;(e) to help identify and transfer the best analysis methods and practices;(f) to facilitate information networks in the energy field;(g) to develop an active policy for the dissemination of the results obtained;(h) to develop methodologies for monitoring the implementation of the energy framework programme, as set out in Article 5 of Decision 1999/21/EC, Euratom. The financial reference amount for the implementation of the ETAP programme shall be ECU 5 million. Of this amount, ECU 2 million is for the period 1998 to 1999.The financial reference amount for the period 2000 to 2002 shall be reviewed if the amount of ECU 3 million is not consistent with the financial perspective for that period.The annual appropriations shall be authorised by the budgetary authority within the limits of the financial perspective. In order to achieve the objectives referred to in Article 1(2), the Community may undertake and/or promote, directly or in cooperation with other interested parties, and/or contribute financially to the following measures:(1) observation, monitoring and the exchange of comparable information in the energy field as well as the execution of studies, analyses and forecasts on all energy aspects, including trends, markets and prices;(2) the provision of technical and methodological assistance to projects in order to identify and transfer the best practices in areas such as methods of analysis and forecasting, means of collecting energy data, access to and exchanges via electronic networks and any other measure which helps to achieve the general objective;(3) the development of links, for example between energy producers and users and academic and administrative circles, in order to promote research into the economic aspects of energy policy instruments;(4) the implementation of any initiative contributing to the dissemination of the results obtained, including the preparation and publication of reports and the organisation of workshops, seminars and conferences. 1.

Commission Decision 1999/43/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to that Directive.(2) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossiers was necessary in order to allow them to be examined in detail and to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisations, for periods of up to three years, for plant protection products containing the active substances concerned, while complying with the conditions laid down in Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and, in particular, the condition relating to the detailed assessment of the active substances and the plant protection product in the light of the requirements laid down by that Directive.(3) For this active substance, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicants. The rapporteur Member State submitted the draft assessment report to the Commission on 28 March 2001.(4) Following submission of the draft assessment report by the rapporteur Member State, it has been found to be necessary to request further information from the applicant and to have the rapporteur Member State examine that information and submit its assessment. Therefore, the examination of the dossier is still ongoing and it will not be possible to complete the evaluation within the timeframe provided for in Directive 91/414/EEC.(5) As the evaluation so far has not identified any reason for immediate concern, Member States should be given the possibility of prolonging provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing the active substance concerned for a period of 24 months in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of Directive 91/414/EEC so as to enable the examination of the dossiers to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on possible Annex I inclusion for profoxydim will have been completed within 24 months.(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

Each of these instruments is different in nature and will be prepared and implemented according to specific procedures. They will not be an integral part of this partnership but the priorities they contain will be compatible with it.2. PrinciplesThe main priority areas identified for each candidate country relate to their ability to assume the obligations of meeting the Copenhagen criteria which state that membership requires:- that the candidate country has achieved stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities,- the existence of a functioning market economy, as well as the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the Union,- the ability to take on the obligations of membership, including adherence to the aims of political, economic and monetary union.At its meeting in Madrid, the European Council stressed the need for the candidate countries to adjust their administrative structures to ensure the harmonious operation of Community policies after accession and at Luxembourg, it stressed that incorporation of the acquis into legislation is necessary, but not in itself sufficient; it is necessary to ensure that it is actually applied.3. Priorities and intermediate objectivesThe Commission's opinions and the Council's examination of these have highlighted the extent of the efforts which still have to be made in certain areas by the candidate countries to prepare for accession and took the view that none of these countries fully satisfies all of the Copenhagen criteria at the present time. This situation will require the definition of intermediate stages in terms of priorities, each to be accompanied by precise objectives to be set in collaboration with the countries concerned, the achievement of which will condition the degree of assistance granted and the progress of the negotiations under way with some countries and the opening of new negotiations with the others. The priorities and intermediate objectives have been divided into two groups - short and medium-term. Those listed under the short term have been selected on the basis that it is realistic to expect that Bulgaria can complete or take them substantially forward by the end of 1998. In view of the short time span, and taking into account the administrative capacity required to achieve them, the number of priorities selected for the short term has been limited. The priorities listed under the medium-term are expected to take more than one year to complete although work may and should also begin on them during 1998.Bulgaria will be invited to draw up a national programme for the adoption of the acquis (NPAA) by the end of March which should set out a timetable for achieving these priorities and intermediate objectives and, where possible and relevant, indicate the necessary staff and financial resources.The accession partnership will indicate that Bulgaria will have to address all issues identified in the opinion. Incorporation of the acquis into legislation is not in itself sufficient; it will also be necessary to ensure that it is actually applied to the same standards as those which apply within the Union. In all of the areas listed below there is a need for credible and effective implementation and enforcement of the acquis.Drawing on the analysis of the Commission's opinion and the Council's examination of this, the following short- and medium-term priorities and intermediate objectives have been identified for Bulgaria.3.1. Short-term (1998)Economic reform: establishment of medium-term economic policy priorities and joint assessment within the framework of the Europe Agreement; pursuit of the programme launched by the government, including transparent privatisation of State enterprises and banks and restructuring measures in industry, financial sector and agriculture and measures to encourage increased foreign direct investment.Reinforcement of institutional and administrative capacity: adoption of the draft civil-service law and progress in public administration reform as well as institutional strengthening in the areas of internal financial control capacity, environment, customs policy, reinforcement of phytosanitary and veterinary administrations, particularly as regards facilities at external borders, begin to set up structures needed for regional and structural policy.Internal market: further alignment including in the areas of intellectual and industrial property rights (strengthening of enforcement of protection), financial services, taxation, the adoption of the necessary legislative framework for State aid monitoring and the establishment of a first State aid inventory, the adoption of a new competition law.Justice and home affairs: concrete steps to combat corruption and organised crime and improve border management.Environment: continue transposition of framework and horizontal legislation, establishment of implementation of detailed approximation programmes and implementation strategies related to individual acts. Planning and commencement of implementation of these programmes and strategies.Energy: in particular establishing a comprehensive, long-term energy strategy and respect of nuclear safety standards and realistic closure commitments for certain units are entered into in the Nuclear Safety Account Agreement.3.2. Medium-termPolitical criteria: further efforts to integrate the Roma and consolidation of protection of individual liberties.Economic reform: complete the privatisation process. Strengthen market economy institutions.Economic policy: regular review of the joint assessment of economic policy priorities, within the Europe Agreement framework, focusing and satisfying the Copenhagen criteria for membership of the Union and the acquis in the area of economic and monetary policy (coordination of economic policies, submission of convergence programmes, avoidance of excessive deficits); while Bulgaria is not expected to adopt the euro immediately on accession, it is expected to pursue policies which aim to achieve real convergence in accordance with the Union's objectives of economic and social cohesion, and nominal convergence compatible with the ultimate goal of adoption of the euro.Reinforcement of institutional and administrative capacity: completion of reform at all levels, including training for civil servants; improved operation of the judicial system, training for the judiciary in Community law and its application; further development of the National Audit Office and internal financial control structures; establishment of anti-trust and State aid monitoring bodies; improvements in accounting, auditing and statistics and strengthening nuclear regulatory authority; reinforcement of justice and home affairs institutions (ensuring sufficient and properly trained personnel, in particular police, border guards, ministries and courts), reform of customs and tax administrations to ensure readiness to apply the acquis and the reinforcement of food control administration.Internal market: including alignment of competition policy, State aid, customs, taxation, audiovisual policies, public procurement legislation (including transparency), upgrading of standardisation, conformity assessment structures and establishment of a market surveillance system and harmonisation of technical legislation on industrial standards. Further alignment of competition law and effective enforcement of competition laws, reinforcement of competition authorities, promotion of enterprise development, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), alignment with the acquis in the fields of telecommunications, consumer protection and the internal energy market.Justice and home affairs: development of effective border management and frontier control systems, implementation of migration policy and the new asylum procedures, alignment of visa policy with that of the Union and completion of alignment on international conventions, as well as the fight against organised crime (in particular money laundering, drugs and trafficking in human beings) and corruption, notably in view of the Schengen acquis.Agriculture: including the land restitution process and establishment of a land register and functioning land market, alignment with the agricultural acquis (including veterinary and phytosanitary matters, in particular external border controls), attention to environmental aspects of agriculture and biodiversity. Development of the capacity to implement and enforce the common agricultural policy (CAP), in particular the fundamental management mechanisms and administrative structures to monitor the agricultural markets and implement structural and rural development measures, adoption and implementation of the veterinary and phytosanitary requirements, upgrading of certain food processing establishments and testing and diagnostic facilities, restructuring of the agri-food sector.Fisheries: development of capacity to implement and enforce the common fisheries policy.Energy: implementation of a comprehensive policy based on efficiency and diversification including respect of Bulgaria's commitments on the phased closure of certain units of Kozloduy nuclear power plant, decommissioning and nuclear waste management plan.Transport: further efforts on alignment to the acquis in particular on maritime, air and road freight transport (safety rules) and to provide necessary investment for transport infrastructure, notably extension of trans-European networks.Employment and social affairs: development of appropriate labour-market structures and joint review of employment policies as preparation for participation in Union coordination; alignment of labour and occupational health and safety legislation and development of enforcement structures, in particular early adoption of the framework directive on health and safety at work; enforcement of equal opportunities between women and men; further development of active, autonomous social dialogue; development of social protection, undertake steps to bring public health standards into line with Union norms.Environment: including the development of monitoring and implementation control structures and capacities, continuous planning and implementation of approximation programmes related to individual legal acts. A particular emphasis should be given to air pollution, the waste and water sectors including its institutional requirements. Environmental protection requirements and the need for sustainable development must be integrated into the definition and implementation of national, sectoral policies.Regional policy and cohesion: introduction of legal basis and development of administrative structures and budgetary procedures. Strengthen financial instruments and control mechanisms in order to participate in Union structural programmes after membership.4. ProgrammingThe PHARE allocation for the period 1995 to 1997 has totalled ECU 212 million. Subject to the approval of the PHARE budget for the remaining period, the Commission will confirm the allocations for 1998 and 1999. In addition, Bulgaria is eligible for support from the catch-up facility envisaged for 1998. Financial proposals will be submitted to the PHARE Management Committee as provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89. Joint financing by the applicant countries will be systematically required for all investment projects. Financial assistance from the year 2000 onwards will comprise aid for agriculture and a structural instrument which will give priority to measures similar to the Cohesion Fund.5. ConditionalityCommunity assistance will be conditional on respect by Bulgaria of its commitments under the Europe Agreement, further steps towards satisfying the Copenhagen criteria and progress in implementing this accession partnership. Failure to respect these general conditions could lead to a decision by the Council on the suspension of financial assistance on the basis of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 622/98.6. MonitoringThe implementation of the accession partnership will be monitored in the framework of the Europe Agreement. This will begin in 1998 before the Commission presents its first regular report to the Council reviewing the progress made by Bulgaria including implementation of the accession partnership.The relevant sections of the accession partnership will be discussed in the appropriate sub-committee. The Association Committee will discuss overall developments, progress and problems in meeting its priorities and intermediate objectives as well as more specific issues referred to it from the sub-committees. The Association Committee will report to the Association Council on the implementation of the accession partnership.The PHARE Management Committee will ensure that financing decisions are compatible with the accession partnerships.The accession partnership will be amended as necessary in accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 622/98. The Commission will propose, before the end of 1999 and at regular intervals thereafter, a review of this partnership on which the Council will take a formal decision. These reviews will include consideration of the need to further specify intermediate objectives in the light of the progress made by Bulgaria in meeting the objectives set out in this partnership. +",accession to the European Union;EU accession;accession to the Community;act of accession;application for accession;consequence of accession;request for accession;cooperation policy;Bulgaria;Republic of Bulgaria;EU programme;Community framework programme;Community programme;EC framework programme;European Union programme,15 +30581,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 1115/2005 of 14 July 2005 on the issue of import licences for certain preserved mushrooms imported under the autonomous tariff quota opened by Regulation (EC) No 1035/2005. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1035/2005 of 1 July 2005 opening and providing for the administration of an autonomous tariff quota for preserved mushrooms (1), and in particular Article 6(3) thereof,Whereas:Licence applications submitted by traditional and new importers to the competent authorities of the Member States under Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1035/2005 exceed the available quantities.

The gross weight of the potatoes shall be determined for each load at the time of delivery, where application of one of the methods described in Annex I so requires, by comparative weighings of the means of transport used, loaded and empty.2. The net weight of the potatoes shall be determined by one of the methods described in Annex I. 1. The premium shall be granted to potato starch manufacturers in respect of potatoes of sound and fair marketable quality, on the basis of the quantity of potatoes used and their starch content, at the rates laid down in Annex II.In cases where the starch content of the potatoes is calculated by Reimman's or Perow's scale and corresponds to a figure appearing on two or three lines in the second column of the Annex II, the rates applicable shall be those for the second or the third line.2. Where the batches delivered contain 25 % or more of potatoes that can pass through a screen with a square mesh of 28 mm (hereinafter referred to as 'tailings'), the net weight used for determining the minimum price to be paid by the starch manufacturer shall reduced as follows:The percentage of tailings shall be determined at the same time as the net weight. The starch content of potatoes shall be determined on the basis of an under weight valid for 5 050 grams of potatoes supplied.The water used must be clean and without additives, and its temperature must be between 9 and 18 °C. 1. When a delivery takes place the starch manufacturer shall make out a receipt form including such of the following particulars as arise from operations effected in accordance with Articles 1 to 4, and shall retain it so that it may, if necessary, be submitted to the agency responsible for the supervision of premiums, at the same time supplying a duplicate to the grower and to his agent if one is employed:- date of delivery,- delivery number,- name and address of the potato producer,- weight of the means of transport on arrival at the starch works or delivery point,- weight of the means of transport after unloading and removal of residual earth,- gross weight of the delivery,- reduction for extraneous matter and weight of water absorbed during washing, expressed as percentage and applied to the gross weight of the delivery,- reduction, expressed in weight, applied on the gross weight of the delivery as a function of the impurities,- percentage of tailings,- total net weight of the delivery (gross weight less the reduction, including the correction for tailings),- starch content, expressed as a percentage or underwater weight,- unit price to be paid.2. The receipt form shall be made out under the joint responsibility of the starch manufacturer, the approved inspector and the supplier. The starch manufacturer shall for each supplier (grower), draw up a summary payment slip containing the following particulars:- business name of the starch works,- name and address of the potato producer,- production contract number, if applicable,- date and number of the receipt forms,- net weight of each delivery after any reductions as mentioned in Article 5 (1),- unit price per delivery,- total amount due to the grower,- sums paid to the potato producer and date of payment,- signature and stamp of the starch manufacturer.

The premium and the compensatory payment shall be paid in accordance with the rates set in Annex II. The premium and the compensatory payment shall be paid by the Member State on whose territory the potato starch was manufactured within four months of the date on which the proof referred to in Article 7 has been furnished.The Member States shall inform the Commission, not later than one month after those payments, of the quantities of potatoes for which the premium and compensatory payment have been paid. 01. Without prejudice to Article 1, Member States shall introduce inspection arrangements for on-the-spot verification of the operations conferring entitlement to the premium. In order to carry out such checks, inspectors shall have access to the stock records and accounts of starch manufacturers and to manufacturing and storage premises.During each processing period inspection shall cover the entire processing of at least 10 % of the potatoes supplied to the manufacturer.2. Should the competent body establish that the obligations specified in Article 7 have not been met by the manufacturer, he shall, unless force majeure applies, lose entitlement to premiums, in whole or in part, as follows:- if the obligations have not been respected for a quantity of potatoes less than or equal to 10 % of the total quantity of the products produced during the campaign, the premium granted shall be proportionally reduced,- if the percentage in question is above 10 but less than or equal to 20, the premium granted shall be reduced by 50 %,- if the percentage is greater than 20, no premium shall be granted. 1The conversion rate to be used to express the amounts of the minimum price, the premium and the compensatory payment in national currency shall be that valid on the day the potatoes are received by the starch manufacturer. 2Regulation (EEC) No 2752/89 is hereby repealed. 3This Regulation shall apply with effect from 1 July 1993.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

Samples are taken from several parts of the means of transport used and at three different levels, namely the upper, middle and lower levels.The residual earth is discharged before the means of transport is weighed empty.Samples taken for weight checking should weigh not less than 20 kilograms. The tubers are washed, cleaned of any extraneous matter and re-weighed.The recorded weight is reduced by 2 % to allow for the quantity of water absorbed during washing. The result constitutes the total reduction to be applied to 1 000 kilograms of potatoes.Method B The potatoes constituting a batch from a single grower are collected in silos.The potatoes are washed, the extraneous matter is removed and the total actual weight of the potatoes in the silos is determined, allowing 2 % for absorbed water.Method C 1. This method of determining the actual weight of the potatoes shall apply where batches of potatoes from different growers are collected in the same silo, provided that the growers have first agreed to the use of this method.Before the total actual weight of the batches is determined, the net weight of each batch must be determined by means of Method A.2. The potatoes collected in the silo are then washed, the extraneous matter is removed and their total actual weight is determined, allowing 2 % for absorbed water.3. If the total weight of the batches of washed potatoes is different from the sum of the weights obtained by means of Method A, the following correction is applied: the total weight mentioned at point 2 above is multiplied by the net weight obtained by means of Method A for each batch in turn.Each result is divided by the total net weight of the batches as determined by means of Method A.PARARTIMA II ANEXO II - BILAG II - ANHANG II - - ANNEX II - ANNEXE II - ALLEGATO II - BIJLAGE II - ANEXO II/* Tables: see OJ */ +",indemnification;compensation;compensation for damage;indemnity;starch;industrial starch;starch product;tapioca;agricultural guidance;production premium;potato;batata;sweet potato;minimum price;floor price,15 +20080,"Council Regulation (EC) No 103/2000 of 29 November 1999 on the conclusion of the Protocol defining, for the period from 3 May 1999 to 2 May 2000, the fishing opportunities and the financial compensation provided for by the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the People's Republic of Angola on fishing off Angola. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof, in conjunction with Article 300(2) and (3) first subparagraph thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(1),Whereas:(1) In accordance with the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the People's Republic of Angola on fishing off Angola(2), the Contracting Parties held negotiations with a view to determining amendments to be made to that Agreement at the end of the period of application of the Protocol attached to the said Agreement;(2) As a result of these negotiations, a new Protocol defining for the period from 3 May 1999 to 2 May 2000 the fishing opportunities and the financial compensation provided for by the abovementioned Agreement was initialled on 2 May 1999;(3) It is in the Community's interest to approve that Protocol;(4) The allocation of fishing possibilities among the Member States should, moreover, be determined on the basis of the traditional allocation of fishing possibilities under the Fisheries Agreement,.

From 1 January 1996 until the dates indicated in the annexed table, the duties applicable to imports into the Community of the products listed below shall be suspended at the levels and within the limits of the Community tariff quotas shown below. The tariff quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take any appropriate administrative measures to ensure that they are managed efficiently. Where an importer presents a declaration for release for free circulation in a Member State, applying to take advantage of the preferential arrangements for a product covered by this Regulation, and where the entry is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the appropriate quota volume.Requests for drawings, indicating the date on which the entries were accepted, must be sent to the Commission without delay.Drawings shall be granted by the Commission in chronological order of the dates on which the customs authorities of the Member States concerned accepted the entries for release for free circulation, to the extent that the available balance so permits.If a Member State does not use a drawing in full it shall return any unused portion to the corresponding quota volume as soon as possible.If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota volume, the balance shall be allocated among applicants pro rata. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made. Each Member State shall ensure that the importers of the products in question have equal and continuous access to the quotas for as long as the balance of the relevant quota volume so permits.

The study has been developed together with stakeholders and interested parties from the EU and third countries, and the results have been made publicly available.(4) It has been stated in the preparatory study that the number of SSTBs placed on the Community market will grow from 28 million in 2008 to 56 million in 2014, and the annual electricity consumption of SSTBs will grow from 6 TWh in 2010 to 14 TWh in 2014, but that the electricity consumption of SSTBs can be significantly reduced in a cost effective manner.(5) The electricity consumption of SSTBs can be reduced by implementing existing non-proprietary design solutions, which, despite being cost-effective, are not introduced onto the market in a satisfactory way because end-users are unaware of the running costs of SSTBs, providing manufacturers with no incentive to integrate such solutions to reduced power consumption during use.(6) Ecodesign requirements for the power consumption of SSTBs should be set with a view to harmonising ecodesign requirements for these devices throughout the Community and contributing to the functioning of the internal market and to the improvement of the environmental performance of these devices.(7) This Regulation should increase the market penetration of technologies yielding improved energy efficiency of SSTBs, leading to estimated annual energy savings of 9 TWh in 2014, compared to a business as usual scenario.(8) The ecodesign requirements should not have a negative impact on the functionality of the product and should not negatively affect health, safety and the environment.(9) A staged entry into force of the ecodesign requirements should provide an appropriate timeframe for manufacturers to redesign products. The timing of the stages should be set in such a way that negative impacts related to the functionalities of equipment on the market are avoided and cost impacts for manufacturers, in particular SMEs, are taken into account, while ensuring timely achievement of the policy objectives.(10) Measurements of power consumption should be performed taking into account the generally recognised state of the art; manufacturers may apply harmonised standards established in accordance with Article 9 of Directive 2005/32/EC.(11) The requirements laid down in this Regulation should prevail over the requirements laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1275/2008 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC with regard to ecodesign requirements for the standby and off mode power consumption of electrical and electronic household and office equipment (2).(12) Pursuant to Article 8(2) of Directive 2005/32/EC, this Regulation should specify that the applicable conformity assessment procedures are the internal design control set out in Annex IV to Directive 2005/32/EC and the management system set out in Annex V to Directive 2005/32/EC.(13) In order to facilitate compliance checks manufacturers should be requested to provide information in the technical documentation referred to in Annexes IV and V of Directive 2005/32/EC in so far as it relates to the requirements laid down in this implementing measure.(14) Benchmarks for currently available SSTBs with low power consumption should be identified. The availability of a ‘0 W-mode’ on SSTBs could support consumers′ behaviour and decisions to reduce unnecessary loss of energy. Benchmarks help to ensure wide availability and easy access to information, in particular for SMEs and very small firms, which further facilitates the integration of best design technologies for reducing the energy consumption of SSTBs.(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 19(1) of Directive 2005/32/EC,.

Those products are set in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 and cover frogs' legs and snails, gelatine, collagen, fishery products, live bivalve molluscs and honey and other apiculture products.(3) Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 provides for a derogation from Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 for the products referred to in that Annex for which the relevant import certificates have been issued in accordance with the harmonised Community rules in force before 1 January 2006, where applicable, and with the national rules implemented by the Member States before that date in other cases, which may be imported into the Community until 1 May 2007.(4) In order to avoid any disruption of trade and any administrative difficulties at points of entry into the Community due to the late adaptation of third country certification system to the new certification regime introduced by Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005, the use of certificates issued under the previous certification regime and signed before 1 May 2007, should be allowed after 1 May 2007 until 30 June 2007 for imports into the Community of the products referred to in Annex VI to that Regulation.(5) Fish oil is included in the definition of fishery products. Specific requirements for production and placing on the market of fish oil for human consumption have been laid down in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004. However, Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 provides for a derogation from that Annex for establishments in third countries producing fish oil intended for human consumption until 31 October 2007. Transitional arrangements should be foreseen accordingly to authorise import of such products into the Community accompanied by certificates issued according to national rules applicable before the entry into force of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1664/2006, until 31 December 2007.(6) Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 allows certain third countries which have not yet undergone a Community control to export live bivalve molluscs and fishery products into the Community under certain conditions. These products must be accompanied by the model health certificates laid down in Commission Decisions 95/328/EC (5) and 96/333/EC (6), which contain attestation regarding public health aspects only. For animal health purposes, these model health certificates must be supplemented by the certificates introduced by Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005 which cover both public and animal health aspects. It is therefore necessary for clarity and legal certainty reasons and to reduce the administrative burden to refer only to the certificates introduced by Regulation (EC) No 2074/2005.(7) Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 should be amended accordingly,. Regulation (EC) No 2076/2005 is amended as follows:1.

Quantities shall be charged against the reference quantities as and when products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation and accompanied by a movement certificate.

GENERAL FRAMEWORK1. Directive 92/51/EEC introduced a second general system for the recognition of professional education and training to supplement Directive 89/48/EEC (2) (which had introduced a general system for the recognition of higher education diplomas awarded on completion of professional education and training of at the last three years' duration). Directive 92/51/EEC deals with diplomas of a different level to those covered by Directive 89/48/EEC.2. Directive 92/51/EEC is based on the principle of mutual trust. This means that where, in a host Member State, the taking up or pursuit of a profession is subject to possession of a diploma, certificate or attestation of competence, the competent authority may not, on the grounds of inadequate qualifications, refuse to authorize a national of a Member State to take up or pursue that profession under the same conditions as those which apply to its own nationals, if the applicant has, in another Member State, been awarded the diploma required there in order to take up or pursue the same profession.3. However, in certain cases provided for by Directive 92/51/EEC, this rule does not prevent the host Member State from requiring the applicant to undergo an adaptation period or take an aptitude test, the conditions of which are laid down in Articles 4, 5 and 7 of Directive 92/51/EEC. Should the host Member State make use of this possibility, it must allow the applicant to choose between an adaptation period and an aptitude test.II. ARTICLE 14 OF DIRECTIVE 92/51/EECArticle 14 of Directive 92/51/EEC states the following:'1. If, pursuant to the second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 4 (1) (b), the third subparagraph of Article 5, or the second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 7 (a), a Member State proposes not to grant applicants the right to choose between an adaptation period and an aptitude test, it shall immediately communicate to the Commission the corresponding draft provision. It shall at the same time notify the Commission of the grounds which make the enactment of such a provision necessary.The Commission shall immediately notify the other Member States of any draft which it has received; it may also consult the coordinating group referred to in Article 13 (2) on the draft.2. Without prejudice to the possibility for the Commission and the other Member States to make comments on the draft, the Member State may adopt the provision only if the Commission has not taken a decision to the contrary within three months.3. At the request of a Member State or the Commission, Member States shall communicate to them, without delay, the definitive text of any provision arising from the application of this Article.`III. THE FRENCH REQUEST1. By memorandum dated 17 June 1996, which the Commission received on 19 June 1996, France requested a derogation under Article 14 of Directive 92/51/EEC with regard to the supervision of certain sporting activities. The French authorities submitted a draft decree and detailed arguments together with the memorandum, which concerns the profession of sports trainer and calls for the possibility of derogating from the principle of free choice for applicants in the case of certain sports professions.2. The request is concerned solely with the question of establishment. The question of the Supply of services by sports trainers is now governed by a separate set of rules in France (provision laid down by Decree No 96-1011 of 25 November 1996 on the practice of the profession of sports trainer by nationals of a Member State of the European Union or another State belonging to the European Economic Area).3. The draft decree submitted by France provides for the introduction of a recognition procedure which respects the right of migrants to choose between an adaptation period and an aptitude test. However, in the case of the five professions listed in an annex to the draft decree, provision is made for the Minister for Sports to impose an apitude test. According to the draft submitted to the Commission, the aptitude test could be imposed for the following five professions: ski instuctors, high-altitude mountain guides, diving instructors, parachuting instructors and potholing instructors.4. The French authorities specified that this request, which was formulated under Article 14, does not call into question the principle of mutual trust but is designed instead to uphold it in the case of activities where common objectives, such as safety, are at stake.5. The French authorities take the view that this request is justified by the dangerous nature of the activities concerned, and that an aptitude test is the most appropriate compensation measure in such cases. In their view, allowing applicants to choose between two types of compensation measure does not provide all the necessary safeguards, and technical shortfalls that are incompatible with the pursuit of the profession could be concealed as a result.6. The French authorities also regard the aptitude test as the most effective way of ensuring that applicants have the requisite technical skills for the activity in question and that they are capable of managing and organizing assistance.7. Lastly, the French authorities point out that the dangers associated with the five activities in question are aggravated by inherently unpredictable environmental factors.IV. DISCUSSION BY THE COORDINATING GROUPPursuant to Article 14 of Directive 92/51/EEC, the French request for a derogation was submitted to the other Member States and transmitted to all coordinators of the general system for the recognition of diplomas. In addition, as also provided for in Article 14, it was discussed at the meeting of the coordinating group held on 8 July 1996. The French delegation presented its request and answered the questions raised by the Commission and the other delegations.V. THE REQUEST FOR FURTHER INFORMATIONAfter its own initial examination of the French request, and following the meeting of the coordinating group held on 8 July, the Commission took the view that there were five further questions which it ought to put to France. It did so in a letter dated 12 September. France provided a full answer in a memorandum dated 14 october, which reached the Commission on 17 October.VI. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS1. The free movement of persons is one of the fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the Treaty. The Court of Justice has consistently held that it prevents not just overt discrimination on grounds of nationality, but also measures which in practice produce the same result even though the apply to nationals of the country and other Community nationals without distinction. National measures liable to hinder or make less attractive the exercise of fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the Treaty may nevertheless be allowed, provided that they fulfil four conditions: they must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner; they must be justified by imperative requirements in the general interest; they must be suitable for securing the attainment of the objective which the pursue; and they must not go beyond what is necessary to attain it. Freedom of establishment is a fundamental freedom, and the French request has accordingly to be examined in the light of these four conditions.2. The French request states that the only activities concerned are those which raise considerations of general interest, such as the maintenance of safety. They draw attention to the special features of the five professions involved: an unpredictable environment, real danger, surroundings, which are not marked off or signposted, the need for a knowledge of the organization of rescue services, etc. The Commission accepts that the five occupations are particularly dangerous and that safety may here be invoked as an imperative requirement in the general interest. It also accepts that, where a migrant's training has covered matters substantially different from those covered by the diploma required in France, making the aptitude test compulsory may be a measure likely to achieve the objective in view, namely the maintenance of safety. The Commission likewise accepts that in these five occupations an aptitude test may provide a better way than an adaptation period to establish how the applicant will react in real situations, while ensuring that the applicant has the necessary technical mastery of the job and the capacity to orgnaize and manage rescue operations. The measure would seem to be in proportion to the objective. Lastly, there is nothing in the French request to suggest any discrimination: the French state certificates in the five professions concerned are awarded following selective tests in which the examiners establish the candidate's technical knowledge, teaching ability and ability to ensure safety and to organize assistance.There are thus grounds for accepting the principle that there shoud be no free choice between an adaptation period and an aptitude test in this case. The conditions outlined above, however, must be fully respected when the measures proposed by the French authorities are applied in practice.3. However, as the freedom of establishment is a fundamental freedom the Commission judges it advisable to give its agreement for a limited time only: a trial period will allow any practical difficulties which may arise as a result of the derogation to be evaluated with certainty.The Commission will accordingly agree to the French request for a limited period ending on 31 July 1999.4. The period allowed should enable the French authorities to evaluate whether the measures proposed in the request for a derogation are in fact those best suited to the purpose. It should also allow all the interested parties to observe any practical difficulties and to report them to the Commission.5. At the end of this period France must produce a report evaluating the application of the derogation under Article 14. The report must provide the Commission with all the necessary figures and assessments regarding the aptitude tests. At that time, the Commission will also consider the observations of interested Member States, trade unions, trade agencies, ski schools, associations and any other interested parties. The French evaluation report and the observations of interested parties are to reach the Commission before 30 April 1999. If France then wishes the derogation to continue, it should attach a request to that effet to its report.6. If at the end of the trial period the Commission proposes to refuse the French request, it will take a negative decision under Article 14 of Directive 92/51/EEC within three months of the request and by 31 July 1999 at the latest. If the Commission does not take a negative decision within that time, the derogation will be renewed automatically, without any time-limit, in accordance with the same Article 14,. By way of derogation from Article 4 (1) (b) of Directive 92/51/EEC, France is hereby authorized for a limited period ending on 31 July 1999 to require applicants who are seeking to have a sports instructor's or trainer's diploma recognized for the purpose of establishing themselves in France and whose training displays substantial differences from that required in France to undergo an aptitude test. This derogation is authorized only in respect of the five following professions: ski instructor, high-altitude mountain guide, diving instructor, parachuting instructor and potholing instructor. France shall send the Commission a report evaluating the application of this Article 14 derogation before 30 April 1999. Member States who so desire and any other interested parties are hereby asked to submit their observations to the Commission by 30 April 1999. If France wishes the derogation authorized in Article 1 to be confirmed without any time-limit beyond 31 July 1999, it shall submit a fresh request to the Commission under Article 14 of Directive 92/51/EEC before 30 April 1999. The Commission shall take a decision in accordance with Article 14 of the Directive within three months of the French request. This Decision shall enter into force upon notification. This Decision is addressed to the French Republic..

That list includes etofenprox.(2) Etofenprox has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 18 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.(3) Austria was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 9 August 2011 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 27 September 2013, in an assessment report.(5) It appears from that report that biocidal products used for product-type 18 and containing etofenprox may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC.(6) It also appears from the reports that the characteristics of etofenprox render it liable to bioaccumulate (B) and toxic (T), in accordance with the criteria laid down in Annex XIII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). The period of approval should be 10 years in consistency with the current practice under Directive 98/8/EC, since the conditions of Article 90(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 are not met. However, for the purpose of authorising products in accordance with Article 23 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, etofenprox shall be considered as a candidate for substitution pursuant to Article 10(1)(d) of that Regulation.(7) It is therefore appropriate to approve etofenprox for use in biocidal products for product-type 18.(8) Since the evaluation did not address nanomaterials, the approval should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit Member States, interested parties, and the Commission where appropriate, to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Etofenprox shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 18, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.

[...] Whereas:I. THE FACTS (1)The Baltic International Freight Futures Exchange Limited (BIFFEX) was incorporated on 21 January 1985 by Anderson Man Ltd, Cargill Investor Servieces Ltd, Coley and Harper Ltd, and Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith (Brokers and Dealers) Ltd. Its purpose is the establishment and running of a market dealing in freight futures contracts in London which provides facilities for shipowners, charterers and users of shipping transport in general, to protect themselves against adverse price movements in freight rates. BIFFEX enables them to agree to buy or sell standardized freight futures contracts.Agreements made on the Exchange are based upon, and settlement price is fixed by reference to, the Baltic Freight Index. This index is comprised of 13 of the most important dry-bulk cargo freight routes being chartered on the international market. It provides a continually calculated measure of world freight rate movements weighted to reflect the relative importance of the voyages included. Each day a panel of Baltic Exchange Members submits the spot rate which they consider applicable to each voyage for the relevant cargo. The secrecy of this information allows known fixture rates to be included; the panel members are unaware of each other's contribution. Computerized assessment of the information provides for a daily index which reflects each day's spot market rate movements.The contract currently traded on the market is on ocean freight rates for dry cargo. A second contract introduced on 10 February 1986, was suspended for an indefinite period on 19 December of the same year. It was based on the Baltic Tanker Index, similarly compiled by taking a number of medium-sized dirty tanker voyages. Bids and offers are quoted in 'index points' of 1,0 with a value of $ 10 per lot. The contract price is a multiple of the minimum price fluctuation, i.e. one-half of one index point. There is no physical delivery of an underlying cash commodity. Contracts can be liquidated by an offsetting purchase or sale at any date prior to maturity. Positions which are held until contract maturity are automatically settled in cash, based on an average of the relevant Baltic Index over the last trading days of the month.BIFFEX offers a market for trading by the 'open outcry' method. In addition, it provides the advantage that the performance of any transaction concluded on the floor is guaranteed by a clearing house.(2)All contracts traded on BIFFEX must be registered with the International Commodities Clearing House Limited (ICCH), an independent service company which provides clearing and settlement facilities for BIFFEX. ICCH has a substantial capital and reserves and is wholly owned by six clearing banks. The principal functions of ICCH are to maintain and organize daily clearing of all contracts traded and to provide a guarantee for due fulfilment of contracts, in accordance with the rules of BIFFEX, to clearing members in whose names such contracts are registered.(3)The figures annexed set out a comparison of the trading volumes for 1986 for Dry Cargo Contracts which are traded on BIFFEX and INTEX (the International Futures Exchange, situated in Bermuda), and the volumes for the Tanker Freight Contract in 1986.(4)The operation of the Exchange is administered by a board of directors which is responsible for the supervision of members and the functioning of the Exchange, and which passes resolutions in respect of various technical matters. The board appoints a committee which is responsible for admission to, and the rules of, the association.The market is furthermore subject to the surveillance of the Bank of England.(5)There are two classes of membership of the BIFFEX: the first class of members are floor members whose number may not exceed 30. Only floor members may trade on the floor. The second class are ordinary members, with a maximum of 70. A detailed statement of the criteria for each class of membership in force may be obtained from the secretary of the BIFFEX. In order to quality for floor membership, an applicant must be a firm or a company and meet certain financial requirements. It must maintain a properly established office in or sufficiently close to the City of London for the control and execution of its business on the BIFFEX and have a continuing interest in trading on the floor and maintain sufficient trading staff on that floor, to the extent required by the board of directors.There are, currently, 28 ordinary members. N° financial requirements are imposed upon them. These members may be firms, companies or individuals, and must have a continuing interest in the activity of the Exchange.The fulfilment of the relevant criteria may be continually monitored.Members may transfer their membership provided that the transferee is elected as a member. Proposed changes in the directorship of a member, like any circumstances that might have the effect of changing the control of the member, must be notified to and accepted by the board.(6)An appeal procedure applies if the board refuses an application for membership, refuses to grant permission for a transfer of membership, or refuses to approve a change in the directorship, partnership, nature of business, legal status or beneficial ownership of a member.The board may be requested to reconsider its decision. In case of confirmation, the applicant or member may appeal to a commissioner appointed by the directors of the Baltic Exchange from a list of persons suitably qualified, which list may include the chairmen of the Stock Exchange and the Committee of London Clearing Bankers and others, but excluding persons connected with trades carried on by members of the member associations of the London Commodity Exchange Company Limited, members of BIFFEX or of the Grain and Feed Trade Association Limited.The board may also expel or suspend a member: the exercise of that power is accompanied by the same safeguards as those mentioned above.Independently of the rules and in accordance with English law, each member remains free to bring proceedings before the ordinary courts.(7)Each floor member is entitled to - and must, if the board so requires - apply for a trading licence valid for one calendar year.N° contract may be made on the floor other than by a licensed floor member who is a clearing member or a party to a clearing agreement under the terms of which the clearing member guarantees the performance of all contracts made by the non-clearing floor member or of its obligation in respect of contracts made on the floor and allocated to it.Any member may become a clearing member upon application to ICCH and to the board, provided that it satisfies specific requirements as to its net worth. The clearing members must register all their contracts with the ICCH and deposit with the ICCH an amount fixed for each open contract ('margin') and afterwards continually adjusted in consideration of their trading position.Licensed floor members may nominate individuals as their floor traders, subject to approval by the Membership and Rules Committee, with a possibility of appeal to the board. Contracts may be executed on the floor only by duly-appointed floor traders.(8)The majority of the members of BIFFEX are either shipping companies, ship brokers or companies involved in the commodity business. Most members will not only use BIFFEX on their own account but will also act as brokers for clients, representing all sections of the international freight and shipping industry, both from the shipowners' and from the charterers' side.However, the board may limit the trading right of a licensed floor member to transactions with other licensed floor members, if the member's net worth does not exceed a certain amount.Each contract with a client gives rise to a matching contract on the floor. There is no condition as regards commissions charged to the clients by a member.II. LEGAL ASSESSMENT (9)The notified Articles, Rules and Regulations of the Baltic International Freight Futures Exchange Limited are to be considered as agreements within the meaning of Article 85 of the EEC Treaty.(10)There are clear criteria for membership. Those requirements, together with the disciplinary powers given to the Board, allow members to maintain confidence in the financial and business standing of each other. Any dissatisfied member or applicant has the possibility of requesting consideration and may appeal against the decision which it contests. As an ultimate resort an appellant would have recourse to the ordinary courts under English law.In order to maintain the ability of the clearing house to guarantee the performance of every transaction carried out on the floor, each licensed floor member entering an exchange contract must be a clearing member or a party to a standard clearing agreement; standard clearing agreements, however, do not cover matters relating to remuneration.As regards transactions between members and between members and non-members, commissions are freely negotiated.(11)The publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation N° 17 did not bring in any representations from third parties.(12)The notified Articles of Association, Rules and Regulations do not contain any clauses which constitute appreciable restrictions of competition within the common market. Therefore, the Commission, on the basis of the facts in its possession, has no grounds for action under Article 85 (1). Consequently, the Commission is able to issue a negative clearance pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation N° 17.. On the basis of the facts in its possession the Commission has no grounds for action under Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty in respect of the Articles, Rules and Regulations of the Baltic International Freight Futures Exchange Limited. This Decision is addressed to the Baltic International Freight Futures Exchange Limited, whose registered office is at 14/20 St Mary Axe, London EC3A 8BU, United Kingdom..

The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the EDP. Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 (2) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provisions of that Protocol.(4) The 2005 reform of the Stability and Growth Pact sought to strengthen its effectiveness and economic underpinnings as well as to safeguard the sustainability of public finances in the long run. It aimed at ensuring that, in particular, the economic and budgetary background was taken into account fully in all steps in the EDP. In this way, the Stability and Growth Pact provides the framework supporting government policies for a prompt return to sound budgetary positions taking account of the economic situation.(5) Article 104(5) of the Treaty requires the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considers that an excessive deficit in a Member State exists or may occur. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4) of the Treaty, the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit exists in Romania. The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Romania on 13 May 2009 (3).(6) Article 104(6) of the Treaty states that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Romania, this overall assessment leads to the conclusion set out in this Decision.(7) According to the April 2009 EDP notification by the Romanian authorities, subsequently validated by Eurostat, the general government deficit in Romania reached 5,4 % of GDP in 2008, thus exceeding the 3 % of GDP reference value. The deficit was not close to the 3 % of GDP reference value and the excess over the reference value cannot be qualified as exceptional within the meaning of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact. In particular, it does not result from an unusual event or from a severe economic downturn in 2008 in the sense of the Treaty and of the Stability and Growth Pact. Despite growth slowing down in the final quarter of the year, overall GDP growth in 2008 accelerated to a rate of 7,1 %, from 6 % in 2007 and significantly above the rate of potential growth. Furthermore, the excess over the reference value cannot be considered temporary. According to the Commission services′ spring 2009 forecast, the general government deficit is expected to reach 5,1 % of GDP in 2009 and, on a no-policy-change assumption, 5,6 % in 2010. This projection is based on GDP growth of – 4,0 % in 2009 and 0 % in 2010. The Commission services′ forecast takes into account measures for the current year in the budget for 2009 approved in February 2009 and the additional measures adopted by the government in April 2009. The deficit criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.(8) General government gross debt remains well below the 60 % of GDP reference value and stood at 13,6 % of GDP in 2008. Nevertheless, according to the Commission services′ spring 2009 forecast, the debt-to-GDP ratio is anticipated to increase to 18 ¼ % in 2009 and 22 ¾ % in 2010.(9) In accordance with the Stability and Growth Pact, due consideration was given to systemic pension reforms introducing a multi-pillar system that includes a mandatory, fully-funded pillar. While the implementation of these reforms leads to a temporary deterioration of the budgetary position, the long-term sustainability of public finances clearly improves. Based on the estimates of the Romanian authorities, the net costs of this reform amount to 0,2 % of GDP in 2008, 0,3 % in 2009, 0,4 % in 2010 and 0,4 % in 2011. According to the Stability and Growth Pact, these can be taken into account on a linear degressive basis for a transitory period and only where the deficit remains close to the reference value, which is not the case for Romania. In any event, the government deficit adjusted for the pension reform cost in 2008 would be well above 3 % of GDP.(10) According to Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, ‘relevant factors’ can only be taken into account in the steps leading to the Council decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty if the double condition — that the deficit remains close to the reference value and that its excess over the reference value is temporary — is fully met. In the case of Romania, this double condition is not met. Therefore, relevant factors are not taken into account in the steps leading to this Decision,. From an overall assessment, it follows that an excessive deficit exists in Romania. This Decision is addressed to Romania.. Done at Brussels, 7 July 2009.For the CouncilThe PresidentA.

In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.(2) Article 22 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that the Member States and the Commission shall communicate to each other the information necessary for implementing that Regulation. It is necessary, if the information required to operate the organised market is to be available on a standard basis and in due time, to define in detail the obligations of the Member States as regards the communication of information.(3) The application of the intervention measures provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 requires precise knowledge of the market. In order to achieve the highest degree of comparability, the prices for slaughtered pigs to be taken into account should be the quotations as determined in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1128/2006 of 24 July 2006 on the marketing stage to which the average price for pig carcases refers (4). In particular, for the purposes of regular review and in order that intervention measures may be prepared in sufficient time, such information must be available regarding piglet prices as will enable future changes in the market to be assessed.(4) It may occur that quotations are not received by the Commission. A situation must be avoided where the lack of a quotation causes an abnormal evolution in the market prices calculated by the Commission. The missing quotation or quotations should be replaced by the last quotation available. The use of the last quotation available is no longer possible after a certain period without quotations, which may lead to the presumption of an abnormal situation in the market concerned.(5) In order to obtain a view of the market which is as accurate as possible it is desirable that regular information on the other products of the pigmeat sector is available to the Commission, as well as other information which Member States have at their disposal.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,. 1.   The Member States shall communicate to the Commission at the latest on the Thursday of each week concerning the preceding week:(a) the quotations as determined in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1128/2006;(b) the representative quotations for piglets per head of an average live weight of approximately 20 kilograms.2.   Where one or more quotations are not received by the Commission the latter shall take into account the last quotation available. Where a quotation or quotations are missing for the third consecutive week, the Commission shall no longer take that or those quotations into account.

In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,.

Community demand for the products in question should be met under the most favourable conditions. New Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened at reduced or zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes, and extended in the case of certain existing tariff quotas, while avoiding any disturbance to the markets for these products.(2) It is no longer in the Community's interest to maintain a Community tariff quota on some of the products and those products should therefore be removed from the table in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96.(3) In view of the large number of amendments coming into effect on 1 January 2003 and in order to clarify matters for the user, the table in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should be replaced by the table in Annex I to this Regulation.(4) The quota amount for certain autonomous Community tariff quotas is insufficient to meet the needs of the Community industry for the current quota period. Consequently, these quota amounts should be increased with effect from 1 January 2002 or 1 July 2002 depending on the starting date of these quotas and therefore the immediate entry into force of this Regulation should be envisaged.(5) Tariff quotas for certain iron and steel products which have been covered by the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community are subject, from the expiry date of that Treaty, to the Treaty establishing the European Community. A separate Annex, comprising these quotas, has consequently to be added to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96.(6) Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended,. Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 is hereby amended as follows:1. Article 1(1) is replaced by the following:""1. The import duties on the goods listed in Annexes I and III shall be suspended at the indicated duty rate for the periods and in the amounts indicated therein.""2. The table in Annex I is replaced by the table set out in Annex I to this Regulation.3. Annex II to this Regulation is added as Annex III. For the quota period from 1 January to 31 December 2002 Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 is hereby amended as follows:- order number 09.2711: the amount of the tariff quota shall be fixed at 375000 tonnes,- order number 09.2837: the amount of the tariff quota shall be fixed at 450 tonnes,- order number 09.2959: the amount of the tariff quota shall be fixed at 77000 tonnes. For the quota period from 1 July to 31 December 2002 Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 is hereby amended as follows:- order number 09.2902: the amount of the tariff quota shall be fixed at 20000 units,- order number 09.2935: the amount of the tariff quota shall be fixed at 70000 tonnes.

According to Article 4(2)(b) of Directive 2000/53/EC, Annex II to that Directive is to be adapted to scientific and technical progress by the Commission on a regular basis.(2) Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC lists vehicle materials and components exempted from the heavy metal ban contained in Article 4(2)(a) thereof. Several of these exemptions expire on dates specified in that Annex. Vehicles put on the market before the expiry date of a given exemption may contain heavy metals in materials and components listed in Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC.(3) Certain exemptions from the prohibition contained in Article 4(2)(a) of Directive 2000/53/EC should not be prolonged because the use of lead, mercury, cadmium or hexavalent chromium in those applications has become avoidable by technical progress.(4) Certain materials and components containing lead, mercury, cadmium or hexavalent chromium should continue to be exempt from the prohibition of Article 4(2)(a), since the use of these substances in those specific materials and components is still unavoidable. In some cases it is appropriate to review the expiry date of these exemptions in order to provide sufficient time to eliminate the prohibited substances in the future.(5) Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC as amended by Commission Decision 2005/438/EC of 10 June 2005 amending Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on end-of-life vehicles (2) provides, in the third indent of the Notes, that spare parts put on the market after 1 July 2003 which are used for vehicles put on the market before 1 July 2003 are exempted from the provisions of Article 4(2)(a) of Directive 2000/53/EC. This exemption allows for the repair of vehicles put on the market before the entry into force of the heavy metal ban contained in Article 4(2)(a) of Directive 2000/53/EC with spare parts meeting the same quality and safety requirements as the parts with which they were originally equipped.(6) Spare parts for vehicles put on the market after 1 July 2003 but before the expiry date of a given exemption of Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC are not covered by the third indent of the Notes thereto. Hence, spare parts for those vehicles must be heavy metal free, even if they are used to replace parts which originally contained heavy metals.(7) In certain cases it is technically impossible to repair vehicles with spare parts other than original ones as this would require changes in dimensional and functional properties of entire vehicle systems. Such spare parts cannot fit into the vehicle systems originally manufactured with parts containing heavy metals and these vehicles cannot be repaired and may need to be prematurely disposed of. As a result, Annex II needs to be amended accordingly. This decision should affect only a limited number of vehicles and vehicle materials and components and for a limited period of time.(8) As consumer safety is essential and product reuse, refurbishment and extension of life-time are beneficial for the environment, spare parts should be available for the repair of vehicles which were put on the market between 1 July 2003 and the expiry date of a given exemption. The use of lead, mercury, cadmium or hexavalent chromium in materials and components used in spare parts for the repair of such vehicles should thus be tolerated.(9) It is appropriate to harmonize the wording of the exemptions with the other environmental directives related to waste where similar exemptions are mentioned.(10) Directive 2000/53/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 18(1) of Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2006 on waste (3),. Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Annex III to that Directive sets out a table listing treatments that can be applied to products of animal origin in order to eliminate the animal health risks linked to meat and milk. Those treatments are in line with the treatments recommended in the relevant chapters of the Terrestrial Animal Health Code of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE Terrestrial Code).(3) In the Chapter on foot-and-mouth disease of the OIE Terrestrial Code, a treatment has been included which ensures the inactivation of the foot-and-mouth disease virus in meat.(4) That treatment should therefore be included in the list of treatments in the Table set out in Annex III to Directive 2002/99/EC as effective to eliminate the risk of foot-and-mouth disease in meat.(5) In addition, the reference to ‘sheep and goat plague’ in the Table set out in Annex III to Directive 2002/99/EC should be replaced by ‘peste des petits ruminants’ in order to reflect the official denomination of that disease in the OIE Terrestrial Code. Furthermore, the number ‘1’ in the title of the table should be deleted and the mention ‘MEAT’ before the treatments for milk should be replaced by ‘MILK’.(6) Annex III to Directive 2002/99/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,.

Therefore, the evaluation and selection of sites at Community level was done using the best available information at present.(8) The Member States concerned have not proposed sufficient sites to meet the requirements of Directive 92/43/EEC for certain habitat types and species. For those habitat types and species it can therefore not be concluded that the network is complete. Taking into account the delay in receiving the information and reaching agreement with the Member States, it is necessary to adopt an initial list of sites, which will need to be revised in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 92/43/EEC.(9) Given that knowledge on the existence and distribution of some of the natural habitat types of Annex I and species of Annex II to Directive 92/43/EEC remains incomplete, it should not be concluded that the network is either complete or incomplete. The initial list should be revised, if necessary, in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 92/43/EEC.(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Habitats Committee,. The initial list of sites of Community importance for the Black Sea biogeographical region in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 4(2) of Directive 92/43/EEC is set out in the Annex to this Decision.

The Council, meeting in Brussels on 3 May 1998 in the composition of Heads of State or Government, decided that Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and Finland fulfilled the necessary conditions for adopting the single currency on 1 January 1999 (4).(2) The Council decided on 19 June 2000 that Greece fulfilled the necessary conditions for adopting the single currency on 1 January 2001 (6).(3) In accordance with paragraph 1 of the Protocol on certain provisions relating to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland annexed to the Treaty, the United Kingdom notified the Council that it did not intend to move to the third stage of EMU on 1 January 1999. This notification has not been changed. In accordance with paragraph 1 of the Protocol on certain provisions relating to Denmark annexed to the Treaty and the Decision taken by the Heads of State or Government in Edinburgh in December 1992, Denmark has notified the Council that it will not participate in the third stage of EMU. Denmark has not requested that the procedure referred to in Article 122(2) of the Treaty be initiated.(4) By virtue of Decision 98/317/EC Sweden has a derogation as defined in Article 122 of the Treaty. In accordance with Article 4 of the 2003 Act of Accession (7), the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia have a derogation as defined in Article 122 of the Treaty.(5) The European Central Bank (ECB) was established on 1 July 1998. The European Monetary System has been replaced by an exchange rate mechanism, the setting-up of which was agreed by a resolution of the European Council of 16 June 1997 on the establishment of an exchange-rate mechanism in the third stage of economic and monetary union (8). The procedures for an exchange-rate mechanism in stage three of economic and monetary union (ERM II) were laid down in the Agreement of 1 September 1998 between the ECB and the national central banks of the Member States outside the euro area laying down the operating procedures for an exchange rate mechanism in stage three of economic and monetary union (9).(6) Article 122(2) of the Treaty lays down the procedures for abrogation of the derogation of the Member States concerned. According to that Article at least once every two years, or at the request of a Member State with a derogation, the Commission and the ECB shall report to the Council in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 121(1) of the Treaty. On 2 March 2006, Slovenia submitted a formal request for a convergence assessment.(7) National legislation in the Member States including the statutes of national central banks shall as necessary be adapted with a view to ensuring compatibility with Articles 108 and 109 of the Treaty and the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, hereinafter referred to as “the Statute of ESCB”. The reports of the Commission and the ECB provide a detailed assessment of the compatibility of the legislation of Slovenia with Articles 108 and 109 of the Treaty and the Statute of the ESCB.(8) According to Article 1 of the Protocol on the convergence criteria referred to in Article 121 of the Treaty, the criterion on price stability referred to in the first indent of Article 121(1) of the Treaty means that a Member State has a price performance that is sustainable and an average rate of inflation, observed over a period of one year before the examination, that does not exceed by more than one and a half percentage points that of, at most, the three best performing Member States in terms of price stability. For the purpose of the criterion on price stability inflation will be measured by the harmonised indices of consumer prices (HICPs) defined in Council Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 (10). In order to assess the price stability criterion a Member State's inflation has been measured by the percentage change in the arithmetic average of 12 monthly indices relative to the arithmetic average of 12 monthly indices of the previous period. In the one year period ending in March 2006, the three best-performing Member States in terms of price stability were Sweden, Finland and Poland, with inflation rates of, respectively 0,9 percent, 1,0 percent and 1,5 percent. A reference value calculated as the simple arithmetic average of the inflation rates of the three best-performing Member States in terms of price stability plus 1,5 percentage points was considered in the reports of the Commission and the ECB. On this basis, the reference value in the one year period ending in March 2006 was 2,6 percent.(9) According to Article 2 of the Protocol on the convergence criteria, the criterion on the government budgetary position referred to in the second indent of Article 121(1) of the Treaty shall mean that at the time of the examination the Member State is not the subject of a Council Decision under Article 104(6) of the Treaty that an excessive deficit exists.(10) According to Article 3 of the Protocol on the convergence criteria, the criterion on participation in the exchange-rate mechanism of the European Monetary System referred to in the third indent of Article 121(1) of the Treaty means that a Member State has respected the normal fluctuation margins provided for by the exchange-rate mechanism (ERM) of the European Monetary System without severe tensions for at least the last two years before the examination. In particular, the Member State must not have devalued its currency's bilateral central rate against any other Member State's currency on its own initiative for the same period. Since 1 January 1999 the ERM II provides the framework for assessing the fulfilment of the exchange rate criterion. In assessing the fulfilment of this criterion in their reports, the Commission and the ECB have examined the two-year period ending in April 2006.(11) According to Article 4 of the Protocol on the convergence criteria, the criterion on the convergence of interest rates referred to in the fourth indent of Article 121(1) of the Treaty means that, observed over a period of one year before the examination, a Member State has had an average nominal long-term interest rate that does not exceed by more than two percentage points that of, at most, the three best performing Member States in terms of price stability. For the purpose of the criteria on the convergence of interest rates, comparable interest rates on 10-year benchmark government bonds were used. In order to assess the fulfilment of the interest-rate criterion a reference value calculated as the simple arithmetic average of the nominal long-term interest rates of the three best performing Member States in terms of price stability plus two percentage points was considered in the reports of the Commission and the ECB. On this basis, the reference value in the one year period ending in March 2006 was 5,9 percent.(12) In accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol on the convergence criteria, the statistical data used in the current assessment of the fulfilment of the convergence criteria shall be provided by the Commission. The Commission has provided the necessary data for the preparation of this Decision. Budgetary data were provided by it on the basis of reports by the Member States submitted by 1 April 2006 in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 of 22 November 1993 on the application of the Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community (11).(13) On the basis of reports presented by the Commission and the ECB on the progress made in the fulfilment by Slovenia of its obligations regarding the achievement of economic and monetary union, the Commission concludes that:In Slovenia, national legislation, including the Statute of the national central bank, is compatible with Articles 108 and 109 of the Treaty and the Statute of the ESCB.Regarding the fulfilment by Slovenia of the convergence criteria mentioned in the four indents of Article 121(1) of the Treaty:— the average inflation rate in Slovenia in the year ending March 2006 stood at 2,3 percent, which is below the reference value and is likely to continue to do so in the months ahead,— Slovenia is not the subject of a Council Decision on the existence of an excessive government deficit,— Slovenia has been a member of ERM II since 28 June 2004; in the two-year period ending April 2006 the Slovenian tolar (SIT) has not been subject to severe tensions and Slovenia has not devalued, on its own initiative, the SIT bilateral central rate against the euro,— in the year ending March 2006 the long-term interest rate in Slovenia was, on average, 3,8 percent which is below the reference value.Slovenia has achieved a high degree of sustainable convergence by reference to these criteria.Consequently, Slovenia fulfils the necessary conditions for the adoption of the single currency.(14) According to Article 122(2) of the Treaty the Council, acting by qualified majority on a proposal by the Commission, is to decide which Member States with a derogation fulfil the necessary conditions for the adoption of the single currency and abrogate the derogations of the Member States concerned,. Slovenia fulfils the necessary conditions for the adoption of the single currency. The derogation in favour of Slovenia referred to in Article 4 of the 2003 Act of Accession is abrogated with effect from 1 January 2007. This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Pursuant to Directive 96/23/EC, the inclusion and retention on the lists of third countries from which Member States are authorised to import animals and primary products of animal origin covered by that Directive, are subject to the submission by the third countries concerned of a plan setting out the guarantees which they offer as regards the monitoring of the groups of residues and substances referred to in that Directive.(2) Commission Decision 2004/432/EC of 29 April 2004 on the approval of residue monitoring plans submitted by third countries in accordance with Council Directive 96/23/EC (2) lists those third countries which have submitted a residue monitoring plan, setting out the guarantees offered by them in compliance with the requirements of that Directive.(3) New Caledonia and Tanzania have submitted residue monitoring plans to the Commission for animals and products of animal origin not currently listed in the Annex to Decision 2004/432/EC. The evaluation of those plans and the additional information obtained by the Commission provide sufficient guarantees on the residue monitoring in those third countries for the animals and products concerned. The relevant animals and products of animal origin should therefore be included in the list for those third countries in the Annex to that Decision.(4) Costa Rica, which is currently not listed in the Annex to Decision 2004/432/EC, has submitted a residue monitoring plan to the Commission concerning aquaculture products. The evaluation of that plan and the additional information obtained by the Commission provide sufficient guarantees on the residue monitoring for aquaculture products in that third country. Aquaculture products should therefore be included in the list for Costa Rica in the Annex to that Decision.(5) South Africa was deleted with regards to several animals and products of animal origin from the Annex of Decision 2004/432/EC, as amended by Commission Decision 2008/105/EC (3). However, after providing substantial guarantees, South Africa maintained its entries concerning wild and farmed game, including ostriches. Whereas that third country has demonstrated that the residue monitoring plan 2007/08 is being implemented for ostriches, it has again failed to provide evidence of the implementation of the plan for wild and farmed game, other than ostriches. The entries for the relevant animals and products of animal origin should therefore be deleted from the list for South Africa in the Annex to that Decision.(6) A Food and Veterinary Office inspection to the Republic of Moldova has revealed serious deficiencies concerning the implementation of the residue monitoring plan for honey. The relevant entry for the Republic of Moldova should therefore be deleted from the list in the annex to that Decision. The authorities of that third country have been informed accordingly.(7) A transitional period should be laid down to cover consignments of animals and products of animal origin originating in South Africa and the Republic of Moldova which were dispatched from those third countries for the Community before the date of application of this Decision, to cover the time needed for their arrival in the Community and avoid any disruption to trade.(8) Decision 2004/432/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. The Annex to Decision 2004/432/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision. The amendments to the list in the Annex to Decision 2004/432/EC by the present Decision shall not apply to consignments of animals and products of animal origin from South Africa and the Republic of Moldova where the importer of such animals and products can demonstrate that they had been dispatched respectively from South Africa and the Republic of Moldova and were en route to the Community before the date of application of the present Decision.

The installation to the vehicles within the scope of the Directive was implemented by 1 January 1996.(2) Directive 96/96/EC does not include a requirement to carry out functional checking of RSL systems, i.e. the ability for the device to effectively control the vehicle's maximum speed.(3) This amending Directive requires the authorities to carry out a test that will ensure that the RSL functions correctly.(4) Today simple, common diagnostic systems are available that can be used by testing organisations to test the vast majority of the speed limiters equipped. For those vehicles that are not accessible by such readily available diagnostic tools, the authorities will need to either make use of available equipment from the original vehicle manufacturer or provide for the acceptance of appropriate test certification from the vehicle manufacturer or their franchise organisation.(5) In the future, periodic verification of the correct functioning of the speed limiter will be facilitated for the vehicles that are fitted with the new recording equipment (digital tachograph) according to Council Regulation (EC) No 2135/98 of 24 September 1998 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport and Directive 88/599/EEC concerning the application of Regulations (EEC) No 3820/85 and (EEC) No 3821/85(4).

For that reason and given the seasonal nature of fruit and vegetable exports quantities should be set product by product using the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 118/2003(6). In setting quantities account must be taken of perishability.(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 stipulates that when refunds are set account is to be taken of the existing situation and outlook for prices and availability of fruit and vegetables on the Community market and for international trade prices, of marketing and transport costs and of the economic aspects of the exportation envisaged.(5) Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 requires Community market prices to be determined using the prices that are most favourable from the point of view of exportation.(6) The international trade situation or specific requirements of certain markets may necessitate differentiation of the refund on a given product by destination.(7) Economically significant exports can at present be made of shelled almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts in shell.(8) Since nuts have a relatively long storage life export refunds can be set at longer intervals.(9) In order to permit the best possible use of available resources the export refunds should, given the structure of exportation from the Community, be set using system A1.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,. 1. Export refund rates for nuts, the period for lodging licence applications and the quantities permitted are stipulated in the Annex hereto.2.

That list includes fenitrothion.(3) For fenitrothion the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 703/2001 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. For fenitrothion the rapporteur Member State was United Kingdom and all relevant information was submitted on 4 November 2003.(4) The assessment report has been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA within its Working Group Evaluation and presented to the Commission on 13 January 2006 in the format of the EFSA conclusion regarding the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance fenitrothion (4). This report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 14 July 2006 in the format of the Commission review report for fenitrothion.(5) During the evaluation of this active substance, a number of concerns were identified. Based on the available information it has not been demonstrated that the estimated exposure of operators and workers is acceptable. Moreover, the estimated acute exposure of consumers cannot be regarded acceptable due to the insufficient information on the effects of certain degradation products that may be present in raw or processed commodities, and so it was not possible to conclude on the basis of the information available that fentrothion met the criteria for inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(6) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the peer review and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments put forward by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted and evaluated during the EFSA expert meetings have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing fenitrothion satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.(7) Fenitrothion should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(8) Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing fenitrothion are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted.(9) Any period of grace granted by a Member State for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing fenitrothion, should be limited to twelve months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season.(10) This decision does not prejudice any action the Commission may undertake at a later stage for this active substance within the framework of Council Directive 79/117/EEC of 21 December 1978 prohibiting the placing on the market and use of plant protection products containing certain active substances (5).(11) This decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for fenitrothion according to the provisions of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I.(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Fenitrothion shall not be included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Member States shall ensure that:(a) authorisations for plant protection products containing fenitrothion are withdrawn by 25 November 2007;(b) no authorisations for plant protection products containing fenitrothion are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision. Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire on 25 November 2008 at the latest.

In addition, the names of food ingredients present in the form of engineered nanomaterials have to be followed by the word ‘nano’ in brackets. Accordingly, Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 provides for a definition of ‘engineered nanomaterials’.(2) Article 18(5) of that Regulation empowers the Commission to adjust and adapt the definition of ‘engineered nanomaterials’ referred to therein to technical and scientific progress or to definitions agreed at international level, by means of delegated acts, for the purposes of achieving the objectives of that Regulation.(3) On 18 October 2011, Commission Recommendation 2011/696/EU (2) was adopted, responding, amongst others, to a request from the European Parliament for the introduction of a comprehensive science-based definition of nanomaterials in the Union legislation. The definition set out in that Recommendation is based solely on the size of the constituent particles of a material and covers natural, incidental and manufactured materials. It takes into account, amongst others, the European Commission Joint Research Centre’s Reference Report ‘Considerations on a Definition of Nanomaterial for Regulatory purposes’ (3), the opinion of the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) concerning the ‘Scientific basis for the definition of the term “Nanomaterial” ’ (4) and the definition of ‘nanomaterial’ developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (5).(4) According to Recommendation 2011/696/EU, the definition of ‘nanomaterial’ set out therein does not prejudge, nor reflect the scope of application of any piece of Union legislation.(5) In a Communication to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and Social Committee on the Second Regulatory Review on Nanomaterials (6), the Commission expressed its intent to apply the definition of ‘nanomaterial’ as set out in Recommendation 2011/696/EU to Union legislation. Where other definitions are used in EU legislation, provisions will be adapted in order to ensure a consistent approach, although sector specific solutions may remain necessary.(6) It is therefore appropriate to adapt the definition of ‘engineered nanomaterials’ laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 to that provided in Recommendation 2011/696/EU, which reflects technical and scientific progress to date.(7) Since the definition laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 refers to ‘engineered nanomaterials’ and not to ‘nanomaterials’ in general, natural and incidental nanomaterials should not be included in the definition.(8) Moreover, it is appropriate to link the definition of ‘engineered nanomaterials’ to intentionally manufactured material, which should be explicitly defined. This definition should take into account the definition adopted by ISO, according to which ‘engineered nanomaterial’ is ‘nanomaterial designed for a specific purpose or function’ (7).(9) Pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8), only approved food additives included in the Union lists may be placed on the market as such and used in foods, in food additives, in food enzymes and in food flavourings under the conditions of use specified therein and following a safety assessment.(10) Those Union lists were established by Commission Regulations (EU) No 1129/2011 (9) and (EU) No 1130/2011 (10). These lists, as established, set out the food additives that were permitted for use prior to the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 after a review of their compliance with the provisions thereof. All these approved food additives are currently subject to a re-evaluation programme by the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 257/2010 (11). The re-evaluation of food additives is being carried out in accordance with the priorities laid down in that Regulation and by group of food additives according to the main functional class to which they belong. It also covers any nano-related issues, which may be addressed in a revision of the conditions of use, where appropriate. As a result, 30 food colours have already been evaluated. None of the colours are produced in nano-form. For calcium carbonate (E170) and vegetable carbon (E153) the Authority recommended to lay down the particle size in the specifications. Other additives that could be in a nano-form will be evaluated by:(a) 31 December 2015: Titanium dioxide (E171), Iron oxides and hydroxides (E172), Silver (E174) and Gold (E175);(b) 31 December 2016: Silicon dioxide (E551);(c) 31 December 2018: Calcium silicate (E552), Magnesium silicate (E553a) and Talc (E553b).(11) Certain food additives included in the Union lists as established by Regulations (EU) No 1129/2011 and (EU) No 1130/2011 could be in the form of ‘engineered nanomaterial’ in the final food. However, indicating such food additives in the list of ingredients followed by the word ‘nano’ in brackets may confuse the consumers as it may suggest that those additives are new while in reality they have been used in foods in that form for decades.(12) Therefore, food additives included in the Union lists by Regulations (EU) No 1129/2011 and (EU) No 1130/2011 should not be [mandatorily] qualified as ‘nano’ in the list of ingredients and should not be covered by the definition of engineered nanomaterials. The need for specific nano-related labelling requirements relating to those additives should be addressed in the context of the re-evaluation programme, by amending, if necessary, the conditions of use in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 and the specifications of those food additives, set out in Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 (12).

According to the wording of the subheadings the apparatus include apparatus incorporating a device performing a recording or reproducing function, provided that they retain the essential character of a set-top box which has a communication function.(2) In the interest of legal certainty it is necessary to clarify the scope of those new subheadings with regard to the terms ‘modem’ and ‘interactive information exchange’. A new Additional Note should therefore be inserted in Chapter 85 of the Combined Nomenclature to ensure a uniform interpretation of those subheadings throughout the territory of the Union.(3) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,.

That procedure has been applied in some cases and the reports issued on the outcome have been considered by the Commission.(4) Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 provide that refunds on exports to third countries and intervention intended to stabilise agricultural markets may be financed only where they are either granted or undertaken in accordance with the Community rules governing the common organisations of agricultural markets.(5) The findings of checks performed, the results of bilateral discussions and the outcome of the conciliation procedures have shown that some expenditure declared by the Member States does not meet those conditions and cannot therefore be financed under the EAGGF Guarantee Section.(6) The Annex to this Decision sets out the amounts that are not recognised as being chargeable to the EAGGF Guarantee Section. Those amounts do not relate to expenditure incurred more than 24 months before the Commission's written notification of the results of the checks to the Member States.(7) As regards the cases covered by this Decision, the assessment of the amounts to be excluded on grounds of non-compliance with Community rules was notified by the Commission to the Member States and is set out in a summary report on the subject.(8) This Decision is without prejudice to any financial conclusions that the Commission may draw from the judgments of the Court of Justice in cases pending on 31 May 2002 and relating to its content,.

It provides also for changes to existing tariff quotas for those products which are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 747/2001, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2276/2003 of 22 December 2003 opening tariff quotas and laying down the duties applicable within these tariff quotas for imports into the European Community of certain processed agricultural products originating in Egypt (3), Commission Regulation (EC) No 955/2005 of 23 June 2005 opening a Community import quota for rice originating in Egypt (4), Commission Regulation (EC) No 1002/2007 of 29 August 2007 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2184/96 concerning imports into the Community of rice originating in and coming from Egypt (5) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1455/2007 of 10 December 2007 opening certain Community import quotas for rice originating in Egypt (6).(3) It is necessary to implement the new tariff quotas and the changes to the existing tariff quotas provided for in the Agreement. For reasons of clarity, it is appropriate to bring together all tariff quotas for agricultural and processed agricultural products originating in Egypt in one single legislative act.(4) Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly and Regulations (EC) No 2276/2003, (EC) No 955/2005, (EC) No 1002/2007 and (EC) No 1455/2007 should therefore be repealed.(5) Import licences issued under Regulation (EC) No 955/2005 and Regulation (EC) No 1002/2007 are valid from their date of issue until the end of the following month. Where the validity period of import licences issued under those Regulations before the entry into force of this Regulation expires after the date of repeal of those Regulations, importers could not comply with their obligations related to import licences. Member States should therefore be permitted in such cases to derogate from Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 of 23 April 2008 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (7), and to release the security lodged by importers. In the interest of clarity it should also be provided that import licences issued after the entry into force of this Regulation under Regulation (EC) No 955/2005 and Regulation (EC) No 1002/2007 are to be valid only until the date of repeal of those Regulations.(6) For the purpose of calculating the tariff quotas for the first year of application, it should be provided, in accordance with the Agreement, that the volumes of the tariff quotas for which the quota period starts before the date of entry into force of the Agreement, should be reduced by a proportion relating to that part of the period which has elapsed before that date.(7) Since the Agreement enters into force on 1 June 2010, this Regulation should apply from that date. However, in the interest of legal certainty, provisions concerning the validity of licences issued before that date should apply immediately.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,. Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 747/2001 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation. Regulations (EC) No 2276/2003, (EC) No 955/2005, (EC) No 1002/2007 and (EC) No 1455/2007 are repealed. 1.   The validity of import licences issued with an expiry date after 31 May 2010 under Regulation (EC) No 955/2005 and Regulation (EC) No 1002/2007 before the entry into force of this Regulation shall expire on 31 May 2010.By derogation from Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008, until 30 June 2010 the titular holder of the import licences referred to in the first subparagraph may return the unused import licences to the competent authorities of the Member States concerned which shall release the security for the quantities not used.2.   By derogation from Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 955/2005 and Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1002/2007, the validity period of import licences issued under those Regulations after the entry into force of this Regulation shall not extend after 31 May 2010. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 1 June 2010 with the exception of Article 3 which shall apply from the date of the entry into force of this Regulation.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

By letter of 29 November 1988 addressed to the French Government the Commission stated that it had decided, in regard to the aid, to initiate the procedure provided of in Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty.2. In that letter the Commission informed the French authorities that it considered the aid to be an operating aid with no lasting effect on the development of the sector concerned, the effects of which would disappear with the measure itself. The Commission considers such measures to be as a matter of principle incompatible with the common market.There is in any case already a complete and exhaustive set of Community rules for the livestock sectors that debars the Member States from additional action to support producers' incomes.This aid is therefore an infringement of the Community provisions in question.3. Under the procedure the Commission gave notice to the French Government to submit its comments.The Commission also gave the other Member States and other interested parties notice to submit their comments.IIIBy letter of 1 March 1989 the French Government replied to the Commission's letter of notice.According to the French authorities the system does not provide an aid but merely livestock/cereal farmers who do not have the necessary processing equipment from being treated differently from those who process their own crops and so do not pay the charges levied on the marketing of cereals, and so affords equality of treatment to all French livestock/cereal farmers.These authorities consider that the system is covered by the Court of Justice's finding on respect for the general principle of equality, as for instance in Case 300/86 (1).Moreover they consider that the position of livestock farmers who grow cereals cannot be compared with that of livestock farmers not growing cereals.These points were argued and developed by the French authorities at a meeting with the Commission on 25 April 1989.IVThe following points must be made in response to the arguments advanced by the French authorities:- the reimbursement of these charges to livestock/cereal producers must be considered aid granted through State resources as mentioned in Article 92 of the EEC Treaty, the Court having found that 'a measure adopted by the public authority and favouring certain undertakings or products so as not lose the character of a gratuitous advantage by the fact that it is wholly or partially financed by contributions imposed by the public authority and levied on the undertakings concerned' (1);- whilst it is true that in Case 300/86 the Court of Justice invalidated the second subparagraph of Article 1 (2) of Commission Regulation No 2040/80 (2), as amended by Commission Regulation No 2512/86 (3), 'in so far as it exempts from the co-responsibility levy the first-stage processing of cereals carried out on the producer's own agricultural holding by means of the machinery of the farm, provided that the products of the processing are used on that holding, but does not provide for such exemption for first-stage processing carried out off the producer's agricultural holding or by means of machinery which does not form part of the agricultural installations of the farm, where the products of the processing are used on that farm', the principle does not apply to the case in hand since a Community arrangement for exemption under certain conditions from a charge of compulsory and uniform application throughout the Community cannot properly be compared with a national arrangement for reimbursement of national charges in a Member State. Moreover, the purpose of the Community rules on the co-responsibility leby is to restrict structural surpluses of cereals on the market, which is not the case with the French measure;- lastly, livestock/cereal farmers and livestock farmers not producing cereals are in competition as regards the products of stockfarming.Given the foregoing the arguments put forward by the French authorities cannot be accepted.V1. Articles 92, 93 and 94 of the EEC Treaty apply to the production and marketing of the products covered by the aid in question, under the terms of the various common organizations of markets mentioned above.The aid affords a specific advantage to certain French livestock farmers who also grow cereals, viz. a reduction in their livestock production costs. The significant proportion (50 to 70 %) of the selling price of meat accounted for by feed costs should be noted. In consequence competition between these farmers and others, in both France and the other Member States, who do not receive the reimbursement is distorted.By its nature the measure is, since it reduces production costs and relates to products in which there is substantial trade, liable to affect intra-Community trade. The figures (in thousands of tonnes) for trade in the products in question between France and the other countries of the Community in 1987 may be summarized as follows:(in thousand tonnes)1.2.3.4 // // // // // // Imports from EEC // Export from EEC // Self-sufficiency // // // // // Beef/veal // 294 // 209 // 121,24 % // // // // // Pigmeat // 424 // 97 // 81 % // // // // // Poultrymeat // 40 // 138 // 136,57 % // // // //Because of the measure operators in other Member States see their exports curbed since merchants have a wider offer of animals of French origin as a result of the granting of the aid, and, moreover, the quantities offered for export are increased.The aid therefore satisfies the criteria of Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty and is therefore incompatible with the common market.2. The exceptions to such incompatibility set out in Article 92 (2) are clearly not applicable to the aid in question, nor have they been invoked by the French authorities. Those set out in Article 92 (3) relate to objectives pursued in the Community's interest and not only in the interest of individual sectors of the national economy. These exceptions are to be strictly interpreted when examining any regional or sectoral aid or any case of individual application of general aid schemes.Exceptions can be granted only in cases where the Commission can establish that the aid is necessary for achievement of one of the objectives set out in these provisions. To allow such exceptions in resepct of aid which does not offer such guarantees would amount ot allowing trade between Member States to be affected and comeptition to be distorted without justification from the point of view of the Community interest and would give an unfair advantage to certain Member States.In the case in point, the aid does not offer such guarantees. The French Government was unable to provide any justification, and the Commission could find none, showing that the aid in question met the conditions required for the application of one of the exceptions set out in Article 92 (3) of the Treaty.This is not a measure intended to promote a project of common European interest as mentioned in Article 92 (3) (b) nor a measure intended to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of the Member State in question, as also mentined in that provision.As far as the derogations provided for in Article 92 (3) (a) and (c) in the case of aid to promote or facilitate the economic development of areas or to facilitate the development of certain activities mentioned in the said point (c) are concerned, it should be noted that the aid cannot durably improve the conditions pertaining in the economic sector in which it is granted.By possibly bringing about an increase in deliveries of meat to intervention, the aid may also bring about an increase in European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund expenditure. On that account it must be considered as against the common interest.In consequence, the aid is to be considered as an operational aid, a type which the Commission has always opposed as a matter of principle since the terms of such aid do not bring it within the scope of one of the exceptions provided for in Article 92 (3) (a) and (c) of the Treaty.3. In the case of livestock products the market in which is subject to a common organization there are restrictions of the right of Member States to intervene directly in the operation of those organizations with a common price structure, which fall within the exclusive competence of the Community.The granting of aid of this type ignores the principle that Member States no longer have the right to act independently in the matter of farmers' incomes within the framework of a common organization of the market by the granting of such aid.Even if it had been possible to envisage an exception under Article 92 (3) of the Treaty, the fact that the aid infringes the common organizations of the markets in question makes it impossible to apply any such exception.4. In consequence, the aid is incompatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 92 of the Treaty and may no longer be granted,. The French Government shall discontinue the aid to livestock farmers who also grow cereals in the form of reimbursement of specific fiscal and parafiscal charges paid on a quantity of cereals, not exceeding 300 tonnes per marketing year, corresponding to the amount of products of the same type contained in feedingstuffs purchased for their holding. The French Government shall inform the Commission, within two months from notification of this Decision, of the measures it has taken to comply with this Decision.

Community exports to certain close destinations and to third countries granting Community products a preferential import treatment are currently in a particular favourable competitive position. Therefore, refunds for exports to those destinations should be abolished.(5) In view of the specific nature of the operation, appropriate provisions should be laid down with regard to export licences issued in connection with the standing invitation to tender, in particular as regards the deadline for the issue of the licences, their period of validity, the amount of the security and the quantity for which the obligation to export resulting from the licence is met. However, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (2) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 120/89 of 19 January 1989 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the export levies and charges on agricultural products (3) must continue to apply.(6) The provisions of this Regulation replace, as regards the partial invitations to tender as from August 2007, those of Commission Regulation (EC) No 958/2006 of 28 June 2006 on a standing invitation to tender to determine refunds on exports of white sugar for the 2006/2007 marketing year (4). For the sake of transparency and legal clarity, therefore, that Regulation should be repealed with effect from 1 August 2007.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,. 1.   A standing invitation to tender shall be opened in order to determine export refunds on white sugar covered by CN code 1701 99 10 for all destinations excluding Andorra, Gibraltar, Ceuta, Melilla, the Holy See (Vatican City State), Liechtenstein, Communes of Livigno and Campione d'Italia, Heligoland, Greenland, Faroe Islands, the areas of Cyprus in which the Government of the Republic of Cyprus does not exercise effective control, Albania, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia (5), Montenegro and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. During the period of validity of this standing invitation, partial invitations to tender shall be issued.2.   The standing invitation to tender shall be open until 25 September 2008. 1.   The notice of invitation to tender shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union. On this basis, the Member States shall draw up a notice of invitation to tender which they may publish or have published elsewhere.2.   The notice shall indicate, in particular, the terms of the invitation to tender.3.   The notice may be amended during the period of validity of the standing invitation to tender. It shall be so amended if the terms of the invitation to tender are modified during that period. 1.   The period during which tenders may be submitted in response to the first partial invitation to tender shall:(a) begin on 1 August 2007;(b) end on 9 August 2007 at 10.00, Brussels local time.2.   The periods during which tenders may be submitted in response to the second and subsequent partial

fulfilled, supplement the security by the payment of the amount referred to in Article 12(3);(ii) within 30 days following the expiry of the export licence in question, notify the agency which issued the licence of the quantity or quantities in respect of which the licence was not used.3.   A tender which is not submitted in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2, or which contains conditions other than those indicated in the present invitation to tender, shall not be considered.4.   Once submitted, a tender may not be withdrawn.5.   A tender may stipulate that it is to be regarded as having been submitted only if one or both of the following conditions is/are met:(a) the maximum export refund is fixed on the day of the expiry of the period for the submission of the tenders in question;(b) the tender, if successful, relates to all or a specified part of the tendered quantity. 1.   A security of EUR 11 per 100 kilograms of white sugar to be exported under this invitation to tender must be lodged by each tenderer.Without prejudice to Article 12(3), where a tender is successful this security shall become the security for the export licence at the time of the application referred to in Article 11(2).2.   The security referred to in paragraph 1 may be lodged at the tenderer’s choice, either in cash or in the form of a guarantee given by an establishment complying with criteria laid down by the Member State in which the tender is submitted.3.   The security referred to in paragraph 1 shall be released:(a) in the case of unsuccessful tenderers in respect of the quantity for which no award has been made;(b) in the case of successful tenderers who have not applied for the relevant export licence within the period referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 11(2), at a rate of EUR 10 per 100 kilograms of white sugar;(c) in the case of successful tenderers for the quantity for which they have fulfilled, within the meaning of Articles 31(b) and

(EC) No 1291/2000.In the case referred to under (b) of the first subparagraph, the releasable part of the security shall be reduced, as applicable, by the difference between the maximum amount of the export refund fixed for the partial invitation concerned and the maximum amount of the export refund fixed for the following partial invitation, when the latter amount is higher than the former.Except in cases of force majeure, the part of the security or the security which is not released shall be forfeit in respect of the quantity of sugar for which the corresponding obligations have not been fulfilled.4.   In cases of force majeure, the competent authority of the Member State concerned shall take such action for the release of the security as it considers necessary having regard to the circumstances invoked by the party concerned. 1.   Tenders shall be examined in private by the competent authority concerned. The persons present at the examination shall be under an obligation not to disclose any particulars relating thereto.2.   Tenders submitted in accordance with this Regulation shall be communicated, if eligible, to the Commission by the Member States without the tenderers being mentioned by name and must be received by the Commission within one hour and thirty minutes of the expiry of the deadline for the weekly submission of tenders stipulated in the notice of invitation to tender.Where no tenders are submitted, the Member States shall notify the Commission of this within the same time-limit. 1.   After the tenders received have been examined, a maximum quantity may be fixed for the partial invitation concerned.2.   A decision may be taken to make no award under a specific partial invitation to tender. 1.   If the Commission decides to make an award under the partial tendering procedure, it shall fix, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 39(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the maximum amount of the export refund. This amount shall be fixed in the light of the current state and foreseeable development of the Community and world sugar markets.2.   Without prejudice to Article 9, a contract shall be awarded to every tenderer whose tender quotes a rate of refund equal to or less than such maximum refund. 1.   Where a maximum quantity has been fixed for a partial invitation to tender, contracts shall be awarded to the tenderer whose tender quotes the lowest refund. If the maximum quantity is not fully covered by that award, awards shall be made to other tenderers in ascending order of export refunds quoted until the entire maximum quantity has been accounted for.2.   Where an award to a particular tenderer in accordance with paragraph 1 would result in the maximum quantity being exceeded, that award shall be limited to such quantity as is still available. Where two or more tenders quote the same refund, and awards to all of them would result in the maximum quantity being exceeded, the quantity available shall be allocated to the tenderers concerned in one of the following ways:(a) by division among the tenderers concerned in proportion to the total quantities in each of their tenders; or(b) by apportionment among the tenderers concerned by reference to a maximum tonnage to be fixed for each of them; or(c) by drawing of lots. 01.   The competent authority of the Member State concerned shall immediately notify applicants of the result of their participation in the invitation to tender. It shall also send statements of award to the successful tenderers.2.   Statements of award shall indicate at least:(a) the procedure to which the tender relates;(b) the quantity of white sugar to be exported;(c) the amount, expressed in euro, of the export refund to be granted per 100 kilograms of white sugar of the quantity referred to in (b). 11.   Every successful tenderer shall have the right to receive, in the circumstances referred to in paragraph 2, an export licence covering the quantity awarded, indicating the export refund quoted in the tender.2.   Every successful tenderer shall be obliged to lodge, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, an application for an export licence in respect of the quantity that has been awarded to it, the application not being revocable in derogation from Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 120/89.The application shall be lodged not later than:(a) the last working day preceding the date of the partial invitation to tender to be held the following week;(b) if no partial invitation to tender is due to be held that week, the last working day of the following week.3.   Every successful tenderer shall be obliged to export the tendered quantity and, if this obligation is not fulfilled, to pay, where necessary, the amount referred to in Article 12(3).4.   The rights and obligations referred to in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall not be transferable. 21.   For the purposes of determining the period of validity of the licences, Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall apply.2.   Export licences issued in connection with a partial invitation to tender shall be valid from the day of issue until the end of the fifth calendar month following that in which the partial invitation was issued.3.   Except in cases of force majeure, the holder of the licence shall pay the competent authority a specific amount in respect of the quantity for which the obligation to export resulting from the export licence referred to in Article 11(2) has not been fulfilled, if the security referred to in Article 5(1) is less than the difference between the export refund referred to in Article 33(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 in force on the last day of validity of the licence, and the refund indicated on that licence.The amount to be paid referred to in the first subparagraph shall be equal to the difference between the difference referred to in the first subparagraph and the security referred to in Article 5(1). 3Regulation (EC) No 958/2006 is hereby repealed with effect from 1 August 2007. 4This 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..

This may or may not be integrated in the camera head;(d) a camera viewfinder. This may or may not be integrated in the camera head;(e) a Base station or Camera Control Unit (CCU) connected to the camera by a cable or other means such as a wireless connection;(f) an Operational Control Panel (OCP) or equivalent device for camera control (i.e. for colour adjustment lens opening or iris) of single cameras;(g) a Master Control Panel (MCP) or Master Set-up Unit (MSU) for the overview and for adjustment of several remote cameras;(h) a box lens adaptation unit such as a Large Lens Adapter or SuperXpander that enables portable camera systems to be used with box-type lenses.(8) The product covered by the original measures falls entirely within the above product definition.(9) Therefore, the Commission, by the same notice, also initiated in accordance to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation an interim review of Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000. The purpose of this interim review was to amend or repeal Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 should it be determined that measures are to be imposed on certain camera systems originating in Japan which would consequently also cover television camera systems subject to measures under Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000. In this case, the continued imposition of measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 would not be appropriate anymore and Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 would have to be amended accordingly.(10) Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 was due to expire on 29 December 2006. Before this date and as mentioned in recital (2) above, the Council extended the definitive anti-dumping measures in force on imports of television camera systems by Regulation (EC) No 1910/2006 which entered into force on 22 December 2006. The review initiated with regard to Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 was therefore automatically extended to Regulation (EC) No 1910/2006.(11) The Commission officially advised the exporting producers, importers and associations of importers or exporters known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country, users, suppliers of raw materials, and the complainant Community producer of the initiation of the investigation. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation and questionnaires were sent to all parties concerned.C.   WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT, TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING AND REPEAL OF THE DEFINITIVE ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES IN FORCE(12) By a letter of 12 April 2007 to the Commission, Grass Valley Nederland B.V. formally withdrew its complaint. With the same letter, Grass Valley also withdrew its support of the original measures against imports of television camera systems originating in Japan imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1910/2006 further to an expiry review in accordance with Article 11(2) of the Basic Regulation.(13) In accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, the proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Community interest.(14) In this regard, the Commission by Decision 2007/539/EC (5) terminated the proceeding concerning imports into the Community of certain camera systems originating in Japan since the investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Community interest.(15) As mentioned in recital (8), definitive anti-dumping duties are also in force on imports of television camera systems originating in Japan which form part of the product scope of the proceeding concerning certain camera systems.(16) As mentioned in recital (12), the Community industry, by the abovementioned letter formally withdrew its support for these measures and requested their repeal.(17) It was therefore considered that the existing measures should be repealed, since the investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that such repeal would not be in the Community interest.D.   CONCLUSION(18) Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received indicating that the termination of the interim review and the repeal of the anti-dumping measures in force would not be in the Community interest.(19) It is therefore concluded to terminate the present review and to repeal the definitive anti-dumping duties in force on imports of television camera systems in Japan,. The review of Regulation (EC) No 1910/2006 is hereby terminated and the definitive anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of television camera systems originating in Japan by Regulation (EC) No 1910/2006 are repealed.

The request shall be accompanied by proof that a security of EUR 150 per tonne requested has been lodged.(3) Experience of applying the Community banana import regime has shown on the one hand that the total quantity of allocations applied far exceeds the quantity available to non-traditional operators, and on the other hand that the number of non-traditional operators has continuously increased. Therefore, a high percentage reduction is applied to each application for annual allocation of non-traditional operators. Taking these elements into consideration, the maximum percentage of 12,5 % should be decreased. The decrease takes into account the different percentage reductions in Quotas A and B and Quota C and also future developments of the annual allocation to non-traditional operators.(4) Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 should be amended accordingly.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,. In Article 8(1), second subparagraph, (a), of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001, the percentage ""12,5"" is replaced by the percentage ""5"".

whereas, on 15 November 1983, it communicated the information concerning this scheme required under Article 6 of Directive 83/515/EEC;Whereas, in accordance with Article 7 of the Directive, the Commission has considered whether, on the basis of their conformity with the Directive and taking account of the other structural measures existing or planned in the fisheries sector, the measures contemplated fulfil the conditions for financial contributions from the Community;Whereas this Decision does not relate to national aid referred to in Article 12 of the Directive;Whereas the provisions of this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for the Fishing Industry,.

By way of derogation from Article 21 (1) (a) of Directive 77/388/EEC, Ireland is hereby authorized, from 26 March 1997 until 31 December 1999, to designate the person to whom the supply is made as the person liable to pay the tax where the two following conditions are met:- a surrender or assignment of a leasehold interest is treated as a supply of goods made by a lessee,- the person acquiring the leasehold interest is a taxable person or a non-taxable legal person.

For metobromuron the conditions of Article 80(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are fulfilled by Commission Implementing Decision 2011/253/EU (3).(2) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC Francereceived on 15 December 2010 an application from Belchim Crop Protection NV/SA for the inclusion of the active substance metobromuron in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. Decision 2011/253/EU confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.(3) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State France submitted a draft assessment report on 10 January 2013. In accordance with Article 8(3) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 188/2011 (4) additional information was requested from the applicant on 13 May 2013. The evaluation of the additional information by France was submitted in the format of an updated draft assessment report in October 2013.(4) The draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’). The Authority presented to the Commission its conclusion on the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance metobromuron (5) on 15 January 2014. The draft assessment report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed and finalised on 11 July 2014 in the format of the Commission review report for metobromuron.(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing metobromuron may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve metobromuron.(6) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.(8) Without prejudice to the obligations provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of six months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing metobromuron. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw authorisations. By way of derogation from that deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.(9) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (6) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the Directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.(10) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (7) should be amended accordingly.(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,. Approval of active substanceThe active substance metobromuron, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. Re-evaluation of plant protection products1.   Member States shall in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing metobromuron as an active substance by 30 June 2015.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to this Regulation are met, with the exception of those identified in the column on specific provisions of that Annex, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to Directive 91/414/EEC in accordance with the conditions of Article 13(1) to (4) of that Directive and Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing metobromuron as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances, all of which were listed in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 by 31 December 2014 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles, as referred to in Article 29(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC and taking into account the column on specific provisions of Annex I to this Regulation. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing metobromuron as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 June 2016 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing metobromuron as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 June 2016 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective act or acts which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC or approved that substance or those substances, whichever is the latest. Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 164(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 162(1)b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(p) and listed in Part XVI of Annex I to that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these goods are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to that Regulation.(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.(3) In accordance with the second paragraph, subparagraph (a) of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed for a period of the same duration as that for which refunds are fixed for the same products exported unprocessed.(4) Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lays down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.(5) However, in the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met.(6) Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 provides that, when the rate of the refund is being fixed, account is to be taken, where appropriate, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States in accordance with the Regulation on the common organisation of the agricultural markets to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 or to assimilated products.(7) Article 100(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides for the payment of aid for Community-produced skimmed milk processed into casein if such milk and the casein manufactured from it fulfil certain conditions.(8) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2005 of 9 November 2005 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards measures for the disposal of cream, butter and concentrated butter (3), lays down that butter and cream at reduced prices should be made available to industries which manufacture certain goods.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,.

whereas the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 are applicable to those quotas:(2) Whereas the Commission accordingly adopted Regulation (EC) No 738/94(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 983/96(6), laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 520/94; whereas these provisions apply to the administration of the above quotas subject to the provisions of this Regulation;(3) Whereas certain characteristics of China's economy, the seasonal nature of some of the products and the time needed for transport mean that orders for products subject to quota are generally placed before the beginning of the quota year; whereas it is therefore important to ensure that administrative constraints do not impede the realisation of the planned imports; whereas in order not to affect the continuity of trade flows, the arrangements for allocating and administering the 2000 quotas should accordingly be adopted before the start of the quota year;(4) Whereas after examination of the different administrative methods provided for by Regulation (EC) No 520/94, the method based on traditional trade flows should be adopted; whereas under this method the quotas are divided into two portions, one of which is reserved for traditional importers and the other for other applicants;(5) Whereas this has proved to be the best way of ensuring the continuity of business for the Community importers concerned and avoiding any disturbance of trade flows;(6) Whereas, however, the introduction of a Community system must ensure progressive access by non-traditional importers; whereas in the light of all these factors a balance must therefore be sought in determining the portions to be allocated to the two categories of importers; whereas, to this end, it is appropriate that the portion set aside for non-traditional importers should be increased as compared to 1999;(7) Whereas the reference period used for allocating the portion of the quota set aside for traditional importers in earlier Regulations on the administration of these quotas should be updated to ensure open access to the quotas; whereas in order to allow a greater flexibility to the benefit of traditional importers it is considered appropriate to allow them to set their reference period as either 1997 or 1998, which are the most recent years representative of the normal trend of trade flows in the products in question; whereas traditional importers must therefore prove that they have imported products originating in China and covered by the quotas in question in the year 1997 or 1998;(8) Whereas it has been found in the past that the method provided for in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, which is based on the order in which applications are received, may not be an appropriate way of allocating that portion of the quota reserved for non-traditional importers; whereas, consequently, in accordance with Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, it is appropriate to provide for allocation in proportion to the quantities requested, on the basis of simultaneous examination of import licence applications actually lodged, in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94;(9) Whereas in order to ensure that the quotas can be efficiently allocated and used, any speculative applications should be excluded, and it is furthermore necessary to allocate economically significant quantities; whereas to this end the amount that any non-traditional importer may request should be restricted to a set volume;(10) Whereas for the purposes of quota allocation, a time limit must be set for the submission of licence applications by traditional and other importers;(11) Whereas the member States must inform the Commission of the import licence applications received, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94; whereas the information about traditional importers' previous imports must be expressed in the same units as the quota in question;(12) Whereas in view of the special nature of transactions concerning products subject to quota, and in particular the time needed for transport, the import licences should expire on 31 December 2000;(13) Whereas these measures are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the administration of quotas set up under Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94,. This Regulation lays down for 2000 specific provisions for the administration of the quantitative quotas referred to in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 519/94.Regulation (EC) No 738/94 laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 shall apply, subject to the specific provisions of this Regulation. 1. The quantitative quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated using the method based on traditional trade flows, referred to in Article 2(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.2. The portions of each quantitative quota set aside for traditional importers and other importers are set out in Annex I to this Regulation.3. The portion set aside for non-traditional importers shall be apportioned using the method based on allocation in proportion to quantities requested; the volume requested by a single importer may not exceed that shown in Annex II. Applications for import licences shall be lodged with the competent authorities listed in Annex III to this Regulation from the day following the day of publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities until 3 p.m., Brussels time, on 10 September 1999. 1. For the purposes of allocating the portion of each quota set aside for traditional importers, ""traditional"" importers shall mean importers who can show that they have improted goods in the calendar year 1997 or 1998.2. The supporting documents referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 shall relate to the release for free circulation during either calendar year 1997 or 1998, as indicated by the importer, of products originating in the People's Republic of China which are covered by the quota in respect of which the application is made.3. Instead of the documents referred to in the first indent of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 applicants may enclose with their licence applications documents drawn up and certified by the competent national on the basis of available customs information as evidence of the imports of the product in question during the calendar year 1997 or 1998 carried out by themselves or, where applicable, by the operator whose activities they have taken over. Member States shall inform the Commission no later than 24 September 1999 at 10 a.m., Brussels time, of the number and aggregate quantity of import licence applications and, in the case of applications from traditional importers, of the volume of previous imports carried out by traditional importers during the reference period referred to in Article 4(1) of this Regulation. The Commission shall adopt the quantitative criteria to be used by the competent national authorities for the purpose of meeting importers' applications no later than 15 October 1999.

whereas under the same Regulation, the Commission grants only monthly advances against booking of the expenditure effected by the Member States;Whereas, with a view to ensuring the proper management of the appropriations entered in the budget of the Communities for the EAGGF Guarantee Section, each paying agency must keep accounts relating exclusively to expenditure to be financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section;Whereas the transmission by the Member States to the Commission of all data relating to the expenditure to be financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section must be organized; whereas, in this respect, it is appropriate to recognize that the communication of data relating to quantities should benefit from a certain margin of imprecision which may be explained, among other things, by administrative difficulties linked to their establishment; whereas, this applies also to the estimates of expenditure which, while they must be reliable, are by their nature of an approximative character; whereas, furthermore, it is inappropriate to request the communication of data relating to recoveries where this would constitute a heavy administrative burden;Whereas the common agricultural regulations include deadlines for payment of aids to beneficiaries by Member States; whereas all payments effected after those deadlines, and for which the delay in payment is unjustified, must be regarded as ineligible, and therefore cannot, in principle be the subject of an advance on the booking of expenditure; whereas, however, in order to modulate the financial impact in proportion to the delay incurred in payment, the reduction in the advances should be graduated as a function of the size of the delay recorded;Whereas, where Member States fail to meet the deadlines agreed for the notification of data relating to expenditure or to ensure the consistency of such data, the Commission may, pursuant to Article 13 of Decision 94/729/EC defer accordingly the payment of the advances against booking;Whereas Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 on general rules on the financing of EAGGF Guarantee Section intervention (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1571/93 (5), stipulates that where an intervention measure entails buying-in and storage of products, the amount financed is to be determined by the annual accounts established by the intervention agencies; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3492/90 (6) laid down rules and conditions governing these accounts; whereas the procedures according to which the financing of such measures fits into the system of advances against booking should be made clear;Whereas the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 stipulates that expenditure for October is related to October if made between 1 and 15 October and to November if made from 16 to 31 October; whereas it is preferable to avoid the division of the accounts provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78, in view of their complexity; whereas, accordingly, it should be stipulated that expenditure deriving from September operations is to be treated in the accounts by the paying agencies on the basis of 50 % in respect of the first 15 days of October, and the rest, including any adjustments or corrections, in respect of the last 16 days of October;Whereas Article 5a of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 authorizes remuneration of the funds mobilized by certain Member States; whereas procedures for declaration by these Member States of interest chargeable to the Community should be laid down;Whereas the concept of expenditure to be declared monthly by the paying agencies should be properly defined;Whereas a uniform presentation of documents to be sent in by the Member States is needed; whereas in view of the need for frequent adaptation of such documents to changes in management requirements, the Commission must be in a position to adopt and adapt without delay, under a simplified procedure, the forms to be used;Whereas in order to facilitate the application of the provisions in this matter it is advisable to replace Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2776/88 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 775/90 (8), with a new Regulation;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF),. 1. After approval of the advances, in accordance with the last subparagraph of Article 5 (2) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, the Commission shall place at the disposal of the Member States, within the framework of the budget appropriations, the funds needed to cover expenditure to be financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section, on an account opened for that purpose by each Member State with its Treasury or any other financial institution.2. The name and number of this account shall be notified by each Member State to the Commission. Each paying agency shall keep accounts covering only the use of the funds made available to it to defray the expenditure referred to in Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70. 1. Not later than the second working day of each week, the Member States shall notify the Commission by fax of the total expenditure effected from the beginning of the month until the end of the preceding week.Two notifications shall be made where the week runs over two months.2. The final notification of each month shall include, in addition to details of expenditure, any information explaining any substantial difference between the estimates drawn up pursuant to paragraph 5 and expenditure actually incurred.3. For the 10th day of each month, the Member States shall communicate to the Commission, by telecopy, details of the total amount of expenditure effected during the preceding month.However, the communication in relation to the expenditure effected between 1 and 15 October must be notified for the 25th day of the same month at the latest.4. The notification referred to in paragraph 3 shall include a breakdown by chapters of the nomenclature of the budget of the European Communities.However, where budgetary monitoring is subject to exceptional conditions, the Commission may request a more detailed breakdown.5. For the 20th day of each month, the Member States shall transmit to the Commission, electronically and in two paper copies, a set of documents permitting the booking to the Community budget of expenditure effected during the preceding month.However, the set of documents permitting the booking of expenditure effected between 1 and 15 October is to be submitted by 10 November, at the latest.6.

Commission Decision 98/676/EC(3) confirmed that the dossier was complete and could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to the Directive.(2) The Netherlands received a similar application in March 1997 from Luxan BV concerning carvone. This dossier was declared complete by Commission Decision 1999/610/EC(4).(3) Italy received a similar application in October 1997 from Kumiai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd concerning mepanipyrim. This dossier was also declared complete by Decision 98/676/EC.(4) Furthermore, Italy received a similar application in June 1997 from RhĂ´ne Poulenc Agro SpA (now Bayer Crop Sciences) concerning oxadiargyl. This dossier was declared complete by Commission Decision 98/398/EC(5).(5) The United Kingdom received a similar application in January 1998 from Novartis Crop Protection UK Ltd (now Syngenta) concerning trifloxystrobin. This dossier was declared complete by Commission Decision 1999/43/EC(6).(6) Confirmation of the completeness of the dossiers was necessary in order to allow them to be examined in detail and to allow Member States the possibility of granting provisional authorisations, for periods up to three years, for plant protection products containing the active substances concerned, while complying with the conditions laid down in Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and, in particular, the condition relating to the detailed assessment of the active substance and the plant protection product in the light of the requirements laid down by the Directive.(7) For these active substances, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the respective applicants. The rapporteur Member States submitted the draft assessment reports to the Commission on 12 December 2000 for benzoic acid, on 16 October 2000 for carvone, on 12 July 2000 for mepanipyrim, on 20 July 1999 for oxadiargyl, and on 19 September 2000 for trifloxystrobin.(8) It will not be possible to complete the evaluation of the dossiers within the timeframe set by the relevant decisions on completeness, because the examination of the dossiers is still ongoing after submission of the draft assessment reports by the respective rapporteur Member States.(9) As the evaluation so far has not identified any reason for immediate concern, Member States should be given the possibility of prolonging provisional authorisations granted for plant protection products containing the active substances concerned for a period of 24 months in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of Directive 91/414/EEC so as to enable the examination of the dossiers to continue. It is expected that the evaluation and decision-making process with respect to a decision on possible Annex I inclusion for each of the active substances concerned will have been completed within 24 months.(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,. Member States may extend provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing benzoic acid, carvone, mepanipyrim, oxadiargyl and trifloxystrobin for a period not exceeding 24 months from the date of adoption of this Decision.

As a result, the Community requested authorisation to suspend the application to the USA of its obligations under GATT 1994 and the AD Agreement.(5) In February 2002, the Community agreed to suspend the arbitration on its request, on the express understanding that a bill was pending in the US Congress to repeal the Anti-Dumping Act of 1916 and to terminate the on-going cases before US Courts.(6) The Anti-Dumping Act of 1916 has yet to be repealed, and claims brought under this Act are pending before US Courts against persons under the jurisdiction of the Member States.(7) These judicial proceedings are causing substantial litigation costs and may ultimately result in a judgment awarding treble damages.(8) By its maintenance and application, the Anti-Dumping Act of 1916 impedes the attainment of the aforementioned objectives, affects the established legal order and has adverse effects on the interests of the Community and the interests of natural and legal persons exercising rights under the Treaty.(9) Under these exceptional circumstances, it is necessary to take action at Community level to protect the interests of the natural and legal persons under the jurisdiction of the Member States, in particular by removing, neutralising, blocking or otherwise counteracting the effects of the Anti-Dumping Act of 1916,. No judgment of a court or tribunal and no decision of an administrative authority located in the United States of America giving effect, directly or indirectly, to the Anti-Dumping Act of 1916 or to actions based thereon or resulting therefrom, shall be recognised or be enforceable in any manner. 1. Any person referred to in Article 3 shall be entitled to recover any outlays, costs, damages and miscellaneous expenses incurred by him or her as a result of the application of the Anti-Dumping Act of 1916 or by actions based thereon or resulting therefrom.2. Recovery may be obtained as soon as an action under the Anti-Dumping Act of 1916 is commenced.3. Recovery may be obtained from the natural or legal person or any other entity that brought a claim under the Anti-Dumping Act of 1916 or from any person or entity related to that person or entity. Persons or entities shall be deemed to be related if:(a) they are officers or directors of one another's businesses;(b) they are legally recognised partners in business;(c) one of them controls directly or indirectly the other;(d) both of them are directly or indirectly controlled by a third person4. Without prejudice to other means available and in accordance with applicable law, the recovery may take the form of seizure and sale of assets held by the defendant, including shares held in a legal person incorporated within the Community.

In addition, Article 37(2) of Decision 2009/470/EC provides that the Member State concerned shall submit to the Commission a national programme, accompanied by all the appropriate financial information, designed to improve its control system.(3) The functioning of the internal market requires a harmonised control system for live animals including those being exported to third countries. It is appropriate to facilitate the implementation of that strategy by providing for a Union financial contribution towards the implementation of this strategy.(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 639/2003 of 9 April 2003 laying down detailed rules pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 as regards requirements for the granting of export refunds related to the welfare of live bovine animals during transport (4) provides that the exit of the animals from the customs territory of the Union may take place through an exit point where the official veterinarian shall verify for those animals for which an export declaration is accepted whether the requirements laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2005 of 22 December 2004 on the protection of animals during transport and related operations and amending Directives 64/432/EEC and 93/119/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1255/97 (5) have been complied with from the place of departure until the exit point and that the transport conditions for the rest of the journey comply with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1/2005.(5) Regulation (EC) No 1/2005 provides that where animals are presented at exit points, official veterinarians of the Member States shall check that the animals are transported in compliance with this Regulation. Where the competent authority considers that animals are not fit to complete their journey, they shall be unloaded, watered, fed and rested in a control post.(6) Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/97 of 25 June 1997 concerning Community criteria for control posts and amending the route plan referred to in the Annex to Directive 91/628/EEC (6) lays down the criteria applicable throughout the Community to be met by control posts so as to ensure the optimum welfare conditions for the animals passing through them and also to provide for certain incidental animal health matters.(7) Bulgaria has experienced staffing and infrastructure problems at the exit point of Bourgas port in implementing the veterinary checks, required within the Community by Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 1/2005 and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 639/2003, on live bovine animals exported via this port. In particular, there are neither facilities for official veterinarians to inspect live bovine animals nor an approved control post in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1255/97 in the immediate vicinity of the port where the animals can be unloaded, watered, fed and rested if they are unfit to pursue their journey or if they cannot be transported within the journey times laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1/2005.(8) On 17 September 2009, Bulgaria submitted to the Commission a programme for controlling and monitoring transport conditions of live bovine animals exported from the Union via Bourgas port for 2010 for which Bulgaria wishes to receive a financial contribution from the Union.(9) The Commission has assessed the programme submitted by Bulgaria for 2010 from both the veterinary and the financial point of view. This programme was found to comply with the relevant Union veterinary legislation and in particular with the criteria set out in Article 21(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1/2005 and in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1255/97.(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,. The national programme, presented by Bulgaria on 17 September 2009 to control and monitor transport conditions of live bovine animals exported from the Union via Bourgas port for 2010 is hereby approved for the period from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2010. The present Decision constitutes a financing decision within the meaning of Article 75 of the Financial Regulation.

As essential elements of the Partnership Agreement, respect for human rights, democratic institutions and the rule of law are the basis of our relations.By letter of 19 February 2002, the Union informed you of its decision to conclude the consultations held under Article 96 of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement and to take certain ""appropriate measures"" within the meaning of Article 96(2)(c) of that Agreement.Today, after more than 12 months and various mediation attempts, the European Union considers that democratic principles are still not upheld in Zimbabwe and that no progress has been achieved by the Government of Zimbabwe in the five fields addressed by the February Council Decision (end of politically motivated violence, free and fair elections, freedom of the media, independence of the judiciary, end of illegal occupations).In the light of the above, the European Union does not consider that the appropriate measures can be revoked.The measures will only be revoked once conditions prevail which ensure respect for human rights, democratic principles and the rule of law. Moreover, the European Union reserves the right to take additional restrictive measures.The European Union will closely follow developments in Zimbabwe and would once again like to emphasise that it does not wish to penalise the Zimbabwean people and will continue with its contribution to operations of a humanitarian nature and projects in direct support to the population, in particular those in social sectors, which are not affected by these measures.The European Union desires to pursue the dialogue with Zimbabwe, on the basis of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement, and hopes that you will do everything you can to restore respect for the essential principles of the Partnership Agreement, thereby enabling all cooperation instruments to be resumed in the near future.Yours faithfully,For the CommissionFor the Council +",freedom of association;right of association;right to associate;ACP-EU Convention;ACP-EC Convention;political violence;guerrilla;revolution;Zimbabwe;Republic of Zimbabwe;Southern Rhodesia;rule of law;human rights;attack on human rights;human rights violation;protection of human rights,16 +3836,"2005/1/EC: Commission Decision of 27 December 2004 authorising methods for grading pig carcases in the Czech Republic (notified by number C(2004) 2566). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the Community scale for grading pig carcases (1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 provides that the grading of pig carcases must be determined by estimating the content of lean meat in accordance with statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase; the authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment; this tolerance was defined in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (2).(2) The Government of the Czech Republic has requested the Commission to authorise four methods for grading pig carcases and has submitted the results of its dissection trials which were executed before the day of accession, by presenting part two of the protocol provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85.(3) The evaluation of this request has revealed that the conditions for authorising these grading methods are fulfilled.(4) No modification of the apparata or grading methods may be authorised except by means of a new Commission Decision adopted in the light of experience gained; for this reason, the present authorisation may be revoked.(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,. The use of the following methods is hereby authorised for grading pig carcases pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 in the Czech Republic:— the grading method known as ‘Zwei-Punkte-Messverfahren (ZP)’ and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex,— the apparatus termed ‘Fat-O-Meater (FOM)’ and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 2 of the Annex,— the apparatus termed ‘Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP 4)’ and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 3 of the Annex,— the apparatus termed ‘Ultra FOM 300’ and assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 4 of the Annex.The grading method ‘Zwei-Punkte-Messverfahren (ZP)’ may be applied only in slaughterhouses which do not exceed a weekly slaughtering of 200 pigs.As regards the apparatus ‘Ultra FOM 300’ it is laid down that after the end of the measurement procedure it must be possible to verify on the carcase that the apparatus measured the values of measurement P2 on the site provided for in the Annex, Part 4, point 3.

The quality and the timeliness of available detailed information for research has, in this context, become an important component of a science-based understanding and governance of society.(4) The research community should, therefore, enjoy wider access to confidential data used for the development, production and dissemination of European statistics, for analysis in the interest of scientific progress, without compromising the high level of protection that confidential statistical data require.(5) Bodies with the objective of promoting and providing access to data in the interest of scientific research in socially- and policy-relevant areas could contribute to the process of releasing confidential data for scientific purposes, thereby improving the accessibility of confidential data.(6) A risk management approach should be the most efficient model with a view to making a wider range of confidential data available for scientific purposes while preserving the confidentiality of respondents and statistical units.(7) The physical and logical protection of confidential data should be ensured by regulatory, administrative, technical and organisational measures. These measures should not be so excessive as to limit the utility of the data for the purpose of scientific research.(8) To this effect, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 223/2009, Member States and the Commission should take appropriate measures to prevent and sanction any violations of statistical confidentiality.(9) This Regulation ensures, in particular, full respect for private and family life and for the protection of personal data (Articles 7 and 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union).(10) This Regulation should apply without prejudice to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (2) and to Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (3).(11) This Regulation should apply without prejudice to Directive 2003/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2003 on public access to environmental information (4) and to Regulation (EC) No 1367/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006 on the application of the provisions of the Aarhus Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters to Community institutions and bodies (5).(12) Commission Regulation (EC) No 831/2002 of 17 May 2002 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 322/97 on Community statistics, concerning access to confidential data for scientific purposes (6) should be repealed.(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee (ESS Committee),.

Such measures may be limited to certain categories of wine and/or certain areas of production, and may apply to quality wines psr at the request of the Member State concerned.(2) Portugual has requested that crisis distillation be opened for table wine produced in its territory.(3) Considerable surpluses have been recorded on the table wine market in Portugal, which are reflected in a fall in prices and a worrying rise in stocks towards the end of the 2005/06 marketing year. In order to reverse this negative trend, and so remedy the difficult market situation, stocks of table wine should be reduced to a level that can be regarded as normal in terms of covering market requirements.(4) Since the conditions laid down in Article 30(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 are satisfied, a crisis distillation measure should be opened for a maximum of 200 000 hectolitres of table wine.(5) The crisis distillation opened by this Regulation must comply with the conditions laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms (2) as regards the distillation measure provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999. Other provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 must also apply, in particular those concerning the delivery of alcohol to intervention agencies and the payment of advances.(6) The price distillers must pay producers should be set at a level that permits the market disturbance to be dealt with by allowing producers to take advantage of the possibility afforded by this measure.(7) The product of crisis distillation must be raw or neutral alcohol only, for compulsory delivery to the intervention agency in order to avoid disturbing the market for potable alcohol, which is supplied largely by the distillation provided for in Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,. Crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 is hereby opened for a maximum of 200 000 hectolitres of table wine in Portugal, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 concerning this type of distillation.

The alcohol obtained must be delivered to the intervention agency in accordance with Article 6(1) by 15 May 2007 at the latest.2.   The security shall be released for the quantities delivered when the producer presents proof of delivery to a distillery.The security shall be forfeit where no delivery is made within the time limit laid down in paragraph 1. The minimum price paid for wine delivered for distillation under this Regulation shall be EUR 1,914 per % volume per hectolitre. 1.   Distillers shall deliver the product obtained from distillation to the intervention agency. That product shall be of an alcoholic strength of at least 92 % volume.2.   The price the intervention agency must pay distillers for raw alcohol delivered shall be EUR 2,281 per % volume per hectolitre. The payment shall be made in accordance with Article 62(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000.Distillers may receive an advance of EUR 1,122 per % volume per hectolitre on that amount.

Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).(2) Clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on pigs for fattening, chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, bovines and salmon by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1810/2005 (3). That additive was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(3) In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin as a feed additive for pigs for fattening, chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, bovines and salmon and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for a new use for all other animal species, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 12 December 2012 (4) that, under the proposed conditions of use, clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin does not have an adverse effect on animal health, the environment or, provided that adequate measures to protect users are taken, on human health, and that it has the potential to be efficacious as pellet binder and anticaking agent at 10 000 mg/kg of complete feedingstuff. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(5) The assessment of clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that additive should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.(6) As a new authorisation is granted in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, Regulation (EC) No 1810/2005 should be amended accordingly.(7) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. AuthorisationClinoptilolite of sedimentary specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional groups ‘binders’ and ‘anticaking agents’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. Amendments to Regulation (EC) No 1810/2005In Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1810/2005, the entry E 568, clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin, is deleted.

As these amounts are below the quantities available under the tariff quotas, applying Article 5(3) of the said Regulation would entail the fixing of an adjustment coefficient which would increase the reference quantities for traditional operators.(3) Traditional operators could be allocated an exceptionally small quantity owing to the extreme hardship affecting their activity during the reference year. In accordance with Article 5(5) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001, the Commission may take appropriate measures which are justified for tackling specific situations within the limits of tariff quotas A/B and C. Furthermore, the notification by certain Member States of the sum of the reference quantities established for traditional operators in accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 could be adjusted on completion of the legal proceedings now in hand.(4) Until those situations have progressed, and in order to enable, as appropriate, the necessary measures to be taken regarding the operators concerned, it is advisable, for the time being, not to fix adjustment coefficients to be applied, for 2004, to the reference quantity for each traditional operator.(5) A derogation from Regulation (EC) No 896/2001 should therefore be made.(6) In order that operators have sufficient time to submit licence applications for the first quarter of 2004, this Regulation should enter into force forthwith.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,. By derogation from Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 896/2001, adjustment coefficients to be applied to the reference quantity for traditional operators for tariff quotas A/B and C for 2004 shall not be fixed for the time being.

PROCEDURE1. Initiation and provisional measures(1) The present proceeding was initiated on 5 March 1999(3), following a complaint lodged by the European Plastics Converters (hereinafter referred to as ""EuPC"") on behalf of Community producers representing a major proportion of the total Community production of compact disc boxes pursuant to Articles 4(1) and 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the ""basic Regulation"").(2) Provisional anti-dumping measures were imposed in the present proceeding on 4 December 1999 by Regulation (EC) No 2563/1999(4) (hereinafter referred to as the ""provisional Regulation"").2. Subsequent procedure(3) Following the imposition of the provisional measures, certain exporting producers, importers and Community users of the product concerned submitted comments in writing. Those parties which so requested were granted an opportunity to be heard.B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT, TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING AND RELEASE OF THE AMOUNTS SECURED BY WAY OF THE PROVISIONAL DUTIES IMPOSED(4) By a letter of 7 April 2000 to the Commission, the EuPC formally withdrew its complaint.(5) In accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, the proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Community interest.(6) The Commission considered that the present proceeding should be terminated since the investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would be against the interest of the Community. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment.

PROCEDURE(1) On 8 March 1983 Council Regulation (EEC) No 550/83 (2) imposed an anti-dumping duty on imports of dense sodium carbonate originating in the United States of America. The duty did not apply to consignments of dense sodium carbonate exported by Allied Corporation (now General Chemical Corporation), FMC, Stauffer Chemical Company or Texas Gulf Chemicals Company, which offered acceptable price undertakings at the time the duty was imposed.(2) In April 1984, in response to a request from the European Council of Chemical Manufacturers Federations (Cefic) and on the basis of evidence that renewed dumping was causing injury to the Community industry, the Commission reopened the proceeding concerning these imports (3).(3) Council Regulation (EEC) No 3337/84 (4) amended the scope of the original Regulation. However, the new anti-dumping duty did not apply to exports by Allied Chemical Corporation (now General Chemical Corporation) or Texas Gulf Chemicals Company, which again offered acceptable price undertakings (5).(4) In 1988 the Commission received a request for a review of the measure referred to above from certain US producers and exporters and the Standing Committee of Glass industries of the EEC on behalf of the Community glass industry. They asserted that US exporters were no longer dumping the product and that there was consequently no longer any material injury to the Community industry from imports from this source. The measures adopted in 1984 should therefore be repealed or amended.(5) Having decided, after consultations, that there was sufficient evidence to justify a review, the Commission initiated an investigation in accordance with Article 14 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. As the Commission had cause to believe, in addition, that the circumstances adduced by certain US exporters also applied to the other producers/exporters, the review would cover all of them (1).(6) The Commission officially informed the exporters, Community producers, importers and consumers known to be concerned, and gave the interested parties the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.(7) The Community producers, the exporters and some importers made known their views in writing.(8) Some of the exporters and several Community importers and consumers of sodium carbonate asked for an opportunity to make known their views orally, and their request was granted.(9) Several exporters and Community producers asked to be informed of the main facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission had made its proposal to the Council, and their request was granted.(10) The Commission colltected and verified all the information it deemed necessary to establish whether there was dumping, injury or the threat of injury, and carried out checks at the premises of the following companies:- Community producers- Solvay, Belgium,- Solvay, France,- RhĂ´ne-Poulenc, France,- Solvay, Italy,- Chemische Fabrik Kalk, Germany,- Matthes & Weber, Germany,- Deutsche Solvay, Germany,- Akzo, Netherlands,- ICI, United Kingdom,- Solvay, Spain,- Soda Povoa, Portugal,- Community importers- General Chemical Ltd, United Kingdom,- Saint-Gobain, France,- BSN, France,- Durand, France,- US producers/exporters- General Chemical Corporation, New Jersey,- Texas Gulf Inc., North Carolina,- Kerr McGee Corporation, Oklahoma,- FMC Wyoming Corporation, Pennsylvania,- Stauffer Chemical Company, Connecticut,- Tenneco Minerals Company, Colorado.(11) The investigation of dumping covered the period 1 December 1987 to 28 February 1989.(12) The complexity of the case meant that the review could not be completed within the one year referred to in Article 7 (9) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88; it was still in progress when the five-year period referred to in Article 15 (1) came to an end. The Commission published an opinion in accordance with Article 15 (4) (2).II. PRODUCT1. Description(13) The product concerned is high-density sodium carbonate, in other words sodium carbonate with a specific gravity exceeding 0,700 kg/dm3, consisting of grains with a diameter of not less than 0,25 mm and no more than 0,60 mm, falling within CN code ex 2836 20 00.2. Like product(14) The Commission established that the sodium carbonate produced in the Community and that exported by the United States were like products in terms of all their essential physical and technical characteristics.III. DUMPING1. Normal value(15) Normal value was, in general, established on a month-by month basis, using the prices charged on the US domestic market by the US producers which exported to the Community and furnished sufficient evidence. The Commission based its calculations on the price paid or payable in the ordinary course of trade, disregarding all sales at prices below the cost of production. Although substantial quantities had been sold at a loss, the volume of sales of the like product on the exporters' domestic market was a average of 30 % of total sales and was well above the threshold adopted by the Commission in previous cases: 5 % of the volume of exports to the Community of that product.(16) In order to identify sales made at a loss, the Commisison calculated a cost of production for the export period concerned for each of the firms in question. The figure was based on all costs, both fixed and variable, in the contry of origin, of materials and manufacture, plus an amount for selling, administrative and other general expenses. From this figure were deducted the costs (not the selling price) identifiably and directly relating to any by-product of the manufacture of dense sodium carbonate.(17) Domestic sales at prices below the cost of production so calculated were not taken into consideration in establishing normal value in accordance with Article 2 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.2. Export price(18) Export prices were established on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for products sold for export to the Community.In cases where consignments were sent to subsidiaries in the Community, export prices were calculated on the basis of the prices at which the imported product was first resold to an independent buyer, duly adjusted to take account of all costs, particularly storage costs, incurred between importation and resale and of a reasonable profit margin (3 %), calculated with reference to that of independent importers of the product.(19) From the export prices were deducted costs resulting from non-recoverable waste caused by successive loading and unloading of the export consignments. Where a producer had not furnished evidence of these costs, a percentage considered reasonable in the light of the financial data from those firms which did provide it and checked during the investigation was deducted from the selling price in order to obtain the net ex-works price of the exports.(20) The Commission considered it reasonable to adjust some of the figures provided by the US manufacturers whose exports had not been regular, particularly the data relating to the costs of transport, insurance, commission and interest rates, in the light of the verified figures for regular exports. Based on a single sale in the Community, these costs in fact appeared abnormally low.3. Comparison(21) In makin a transaction-by-transaction comparison of the normal value with the export price, the Commission took account, where necessary and where sufficient evidence had been provided, of differences affecting price comparability. The adjustments mad related mainly to delivery and payment terms and to transport and insurance costs. All the comparisons were made ex works.4. Margin(22) Comparison of the normal value and export prices for the period from December 1987 to February 1989 reveals that the four US producers who exported to the Community dumped their products and that the weighted average dumping margins on the basis of the free-at-Community frontier price were:- General Chemical Corporation: 2,9 %,- Texas Gulf Inc.: 12,8 %,- FMC Wyoming Corporation: 9,8 %,- Kerr McGee Corporation: 11,9 %.IV. INJURY(23) The issue on which the Commission was being asked to decide was that of whether the expiry of the anti-dumping measures in force would lead to renewed injury.1. Current situation(24) United Statets exports to the Community have remained limited since the imposition of anti-dumping duties. They had acquired a 3,2 % share of the Community market before 1983. Since then, this share has fallen to 1,4 % and remained at that level.(25) Between 1982 and 1989, Community consumption of dense sodium carbonate rose very slightly - from 3,55 million tonnes in 1982 to around 4 million tonnes in 1989.(26) The Commission has established that t prices of the imports were an average of 6 % lower than those of the Community industry during the perid covered by the investigation. In the light of the limited volume of these imports, the undercutting observed had practically no effect on general price levels. (27) The financial situation of the Community industry has improved, and this has enabled it to achieve satisfactory results overall. The improvement is due partly to the restructuring measures which have made it possible to keep the utilization of capacity high, and partly to the effect of the anti-dumping duties on the imports in question, but the recovery of the market for glass has also played a part.2. Threat of injury(28) Account was taken of the following considerations in determining if under these circumstances the expiry of the anti-dumping measures was likely to cause renewed material injury to Community producers.(29) The US exporters in question together possess 10 million tonnes of production capacity and thus account for a high proportion of world capacity. Their combined production is currently around nine million tonnes, while domestic consumption is approximately six million tonnes.(30) Since consumption is showing a tendency to stabilize, appreciable quantities are available for export. The fact that new production facilities are being set up throughout the world means that it will probably not be long before the United States loses some of its traditional markets, chiefly in the People's Republic of China and South Africa. It is therefore not unlikely that additional quantities of the US product will reach the Community, which is an attractive market because of its price levels.(31) However, in present circumstances, the conclusion is that the possible increase is unlikely to become a genuine threat. Firstly, the current volume of US exports is very low, and the manufacturers do not at the moment have the kind of sales structure needed to increase their sales significantly, mainly because their joint sales organization does not operate on the Community market. In addition, a feature of the Community market for dense sodium carbonate is the stability of relations between the suppliers and users: the latter attach importance to having their needs met in a constant and regular fashion by their traditional suppliers.(32) The investigation showed moreover that during the period concerned the US exporter whose exports were steady maintained a moderate price policy. It can be presumed that all the US exporters would base their export prices for the Community on their normal value in order to avoid dumping and thus a recurrence of complaints.(33) In the light of these considerations, it should be recognized that it has not been established that the expiry of the anti-dumping measures in force would threaten to cause serious injury to the Community industry.V. TERMINATION OF THE INVESTIGATION(34) The Community producers and other interested parties were informed of the facts and main considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding. Some made known their views, and the Commission studied these in detail.(35) The Community producers' comments included a comparison of production costs in the exporting countries and in the Community which revealed a more advantageous cost structure in the United States of America. It was observed, however, that this comparison was not relevant to the Commission's conclusions, since the existence of a comparative advantage on the part of the US producers, provided it was also reflected in prices on the domestic market, was not evidence of dumping.(36) With regard to the effect of possible increases in US exports to the Community, the Community producers claimed that the sensitivity of the product in question to market prices in the Community meant that even a small volume of low-priced imports was sufficient to cause material injury to the Community industry. Though allowing that in the case of a raw material such as sodium carbonate differences in price levels had a key influence on the competitiveness of the various operators, the Commission considered that in view of the circumstances seen in the investigation the argument could not apply in this case.As the current volume of US exports is insignificant, only a large increase is liable to succed in influencing general price levels in the Community. It is difficult to imagine such an increase in current circumstances, however (see recitals 31 and 32).(37) In view of these circumstances and the current situation of the market for dense sodium carbonate in the Community, the review concerning imports of dense sodium carbonate originating in the United States of America should be terminated without protective measures being imposed, it being understood that a recurrence of dumping and injury could justify the immediate opening of a new investigation, and, in the light of previous dumping and injury, that definitive anti-dumping duties with retroactive effect could be imposed in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 13 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88,. The review of the anti-dumping measures concerning imports of dense sodium carbonate falling within CN code ex 2836 20 00 originating in the United States of America is hereby terminated. This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.It shall take effect on the day of its publication..

The reference of the standard was first published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 6 October 2005 (3).(2) Germany has lodged a formal objection in respect of standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000.(3) Germany’s formal objection was lodged on the grounds that standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000 fails to satisfy the requirements set out in Annex II to Directive 89/686/EEC, as the test method for level-dependent sound attenuating ear-muffs specified by that standard tends to overestimate the effectiveness of the hearing protector tested and the results are neither representative of user exposure nor reproducible.(4) Having examined standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000 the Commission has established that the standard fails to fully satisfy the basic health and safety requirements set out in Sections 1.1.2.1 and 3.5 of Annex II to Directive 89/686/EEC.(5) The reference of standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000 should therefore be withdrawn from the list of harmonised standards in the Official Journal of the European Union, with the result that compliance with relevant national standards transposing the harmonised standard EN ISO 4869-4: 2000 no longer confers the presumption of conformity to the basic health and safety requirements of Directive 89/686/EEC,.

whereas these provisions apply to the administration of the above quotas subject to the provisions of this Regulation;Whereas certain characteristics of China's economy, the seasonal nature of some of the products and the time needed for transport mean that orders for products subject to quota are generally placed before the beginning of the quota year; whereas it is therefore important to ensure that administrative constraints do not impede the realization of the planned imports; whereas in order not to affect the continuity of trade flows, the arrangements for allocating and administering the 1997 quotas should accordingly be adopted before the start of the quota year;Whereas after examination of the different administrative methods provided for by Regulation (EC) No 520/94, the method based on traditional trade flows should be adopted; whereas under this method quota tranches are divided into two portions, one of which is reserved for traditional importers and the other for other applicants;Whereas this has proved to be the best way of ensuring the continuity of business for the Community importers concerned and avoiding any disturbance of trade flows;Whereas, however, the introduction of a Community system must ensure progressive access by non-traditional importers; whereas in the light of all these factors a balance must therefore be sought in determining the portions to be allocated to the two categories of importers;Whereas the reference period used for allocating the portion of the quota set aside for traditional importers in earlier Regulations on the administration of these quotas should be updated to ensure open access to the quotas; whereas that update should be based on the latest period for which complete data is available; whereas the year 1994 is therefore a suitable reference period, it being the only recent representative year of the normal trend of trade flows in the products in question for which full customs data are available; whereas traditional importers must therefore prove that they have imported products originating in China and covered by the quotas in question in the year 1994;Whereas it is necessary to simplify the formalities to be fulfilled by traditional importers who already hold import licences issued when the 1996 Community quotas or unused 1995 quantities were allocated; whereas the competent administrative authorities already possess the requisite evidence of 1994 imports for all traditional importers; whereas these importers need only enclose a copy of their previous licences with their new licence applications;Whereas it has been found in the past that the method provided for in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, which is based on the order in which applications are received, may not be an appropriate way of allocating that portion of the quota reserved for non-traditional importers; whereas, consequently, in accordance with Article 2 (4) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94, an alternative method of apportioning the quota should be determined; whereas, to this end, it is appropriate to provide for allocation in proportion to the quantities requested, on the basis of a simultaneous examination of import licence applications actually lodged, in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94;Whereas in order to ensure that the quotas can be efficiently allocated and used, any speculative applications should be excluded, and it is furthermore necessary to allocate economically significant quantities; whereas to this end the amount that any non-traditional importer may request should be restricted to a set volume or value;Whereas for the purposes of quota allocation, a time limit must be set for the submission of licence applications by traditional and other importers;Whereas with a view to optimum use of quotas, licence applications for imports of footwear under quotas which refer to several CN codes must specify the quantities required for each code;Whereas the Member States must inform the Commission of the import licence applications received, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94; whereas the information about traditional importers' previous imports must be expressed in the same units as the quota in question; whereas if the quota is set in ecus, the counter-value of the currency in which previous imports are expressed must be calculated in accordance with Article 18 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (7);Whereas in view of the special nature of transactions concerning products subject to quota, and in particular the time needed for transport, the import licences should expire on 31 December 1997;Whereas these measures are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the administration of quotas set up under Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94,. This Regulation lays down for 1997 specific provisions for the administration of the quantitative quotas referred to in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94.Regulation (EC) No 738/94 laying down general rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 520/94 shall apply, subject to the specific provisions of this Regulation. 1. The quantitative quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated using the method based on traditional trade flows, referred to in Article 2 (2) (a) of Regulation (EC) No 520/94.2. The portions of the each quantitative quota set aside for traditional importers and other importers are set out in Annex I to this Regulation.3. The portion set aside for non-traditional importers shall be apportioned using the method based on allocation in proportion to quantities requested; the volume/value requested by a single importer may not exceed that shown in Annex II. Applications for import licences shall be lodged with the competent authorities listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 738/94 from the day following the day of publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities until 3 p.m., Brussels time, on 27 July 1996. 1.

Instead of the documents referred to in the first indent of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 520/94;- applicants may enclose with their licence applications documents drawn up and certified by the competent national authorities on the basis of available customs information as evidence of the imports of the product in question during the calendar year 1994 carried out by themselves or, where applicable, by the operator whose activities they have taken over,- applicants already holding import licences issued in 1996 under Commission Regulation (EC) No 2319/95 (8) or (EC) No 899/96 (9) for products covered by the licence application may enclose a copy of their previous licences with their licence applications. In that case they shall indicate in their licence application the aggregate value of imports of the product in question in 1994.4. Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 shall apply where supporting documents are expressed in foreign currency. Member States shall inform the Commission no later than 14 August 1996 at 10 a.m., Brussels time, of the number and aggregate quantity of import licence applications and, in the case of applications from traditional importers, of the volume of previous imports carried out by traditional importers during the reference period referred to in Article 4 (1) of this Regulation. The Commission shall adopt the quantitative criteria to be used by the competent national authorities for the purpose of meeting importers' applications no later than 18 August 1996.

The specification states that the link between the cheese ‘Germantas’ and its area is based on its specific method of production that confers it specific organoleptic characteristics that distinguish it from other cheeses. The specification reaffirms that organoleptic characteristics specific to the cheese ‘Germantas’, its faint yellowish colour with greenish to greyish nuances, a light aroma of acidified milk, whey and pasteurised milk, and a little sour flavour of pasteurised milk at high temperature, are related to its production method. The specification furthermore explains that typical colour of cheese ‘Germantas’ is due to its maturing in transparent, or coloured, film that reduces decomposition of the photosensitive compounds under the light. In the absence of a link between these factors and the geographical origin, the application does not meet the basic criteria for registration as a protected geographical indication.(5) A link within the meaning of the second indent of Article 2(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 has therefore not been demonstrated.(6) In the light of the above, the application to register the name ‘Germantas’ as a protected geographical indication should be rejected.(7) The measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Protected Geographical Indications and Protected Designations of Origin,. The application to register the name ‘Germantas’ is hereby rejected. This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Lithuania..

Those applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinions of 4 December 2013 (2) and 5 December 2013 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparations concerned do not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority also concluded that the preparations of Lactobacillus brevis DSM 23231, Lactobacillus brevis DSMZ 16680, Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 4528 and Lactobacillus fermentum NCIMB 30169 have the potential to improve the production of silage. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the methods of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(5) The assessment of the preparations concerned shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of those preparations should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.(6) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. AuthorisationThe preparations specified in the Annex belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘silage additives’, are authorised as additives in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. Transitional measuresThe preparations specified in the Annex and feed containing them, which are produced and labelled before 13 November 2014 in accordance with the rules applicable before 15 May 2014 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.

Consequently the competent authorities of the Member States have to notify the actual composition of certain cheeses, in case that certain contents exceed those referred to in Annex XIII to that Regulation. Although the information provided for in these notifications is useful, it is not indispensable for the market management. It is therefore appropriate, with a view on simplification and to alleviate the administrative burden on traders and national administrations, to delete Article 19(3) as well as Annex XIII to that Regulation.(2) Article 14(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 provides, as a general rule, that licence applications for imports during the period from 1 January to 30 June, under the quotas referred to under Chapter I of Title 2, may be lodged only from 20 to 30 November of the preceding year. For imports of butter from New Zealand as referred to in Article 34 of that Regulation, Article 34a(3) provides for the first 10 days of November to lodge licence applications for imports during the period from 1 January to 30 June and Article 35a(2) provides for a deadline for the communication from the Member States of the names and the addresses of the applicants, which takes account of the period set out in Article 34a(3). With a view on harmonisation and simplification, it is appropriate to extend the general rule to import licence applications for the New Zealand butter quota. Articles 34a and 35a should be amended accordingly.(3) The text of paragraph 1 of Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, which was erroneously skipped by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2020/2006 (3), amending Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should be reintroduced.(4) Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.(5) 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 criteria determining the eligibility of collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem monetary policy operations are laid down in Annex I to the Guideline ECB/2011/14.(2) Pursuant to Section 1.6 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, the Governing Council may, at any time, change the instruments, conditions, criteria and procedures for the execution of Eurosystem monetary policy operations. Pursuant to Section 6.3.1 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, the Eurosystem reserves the right to determine whether an issue, issuer, debtor or guarantor fulfils its requirements for high credit standards on the basis of any information it may consider relevant.(3) In the context of the debt exchange offer launched by the Hellenic Republic to the holders of marketable debt instruments issued or guaranteed by the Greek Government, on 24 February 2012 a collateral enhancement in the form of a buy-back scheme to underpin the quality of marketable debt instruments issued or guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic was provided for the benefit of the national central banks.(4) As an exceptional measure, Decision ECB/2012/3 of 5 March 2012 on the eligibility of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic in the context of the Hellenic Republic’s debt exchange offer (2) temporarily suspended the Eurosystem’s minimum requirements for credit quality thresholds applicable to marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic, declaring them eligible for the duration of the collateral enhancement.(5) Upon termination of the collateral enhancement, given that the adequacy as collateral of marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic is currently not ensured, the Governing Council has decided that the Eurosystem’s credit quality threshold specified in Section 6.3.2 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14 should apply in respect of such instruments.(6) Decision ECB/2012/3 should therefore be repealed,.

FACTS(1) The GAFTA (3) Soya Bean Meal Futures Association Limited (SOMFA) is one of many commodity markets established in London. The commodity markets are self-regulatory organizations run by committees of management selected by members from amongst themselves, aided by secretariats and using powers given to them by their members in market rule books. Although the markets are self-regulating, there is an element of supervision by the Bank of England and, increasingly, supervision of the members by the Association of Futures Brokers and Dealers Limited (AFBD).(2) The object of SOMFA is to set up and to administer a terminal market in London for soya bean meal. A terminal market, or a futures market, provides organized facilities for concluding contracts for the purchase and sale of a commodity to be delivered at named future dates. Futures markets have been developed primarily to enable persons involved in commodity trading to protect themselves from the risks of adverse price movements.(3) SOMFA provides a market floor for trading and price-making, determines various technical questions such as allowable delivery months and standard contract terms and procures the provision of clearing and settlement facilities. Trading is done on the floor of the market where dealers face each other in a ring, making bids and offers through the system known as 'open outcry'.(4) The International Futures Markets in London are among the principal markets used in international commodity merchandising, and they contribute to the stability and smooth operation of world trade and to world pricing mechanisms. The relative size of SOMFA compared with its most important competitors is shown below:Annual volumes of trade (tonnes traded) in soya bean meal1982 to 19851.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Year // London // Chicago (100 tonnes) // Hong Kong (30 tonnes) // Mid-America (20 tonnes) // // // // // // 1982 // 3 842 500 // // // // 1983 // 4 466 100 // // // // 1984 // 2 493 760 // 3 822 179 // 340 545 // 10 981 // 1985 // 2 078 500 // 3 339 268 // 372 352 // // // // // //N.B: Data for London include the 20 tonnes soya bean meal contract which commenced trading on 8 May 1984 (the current contract); the 100 tonnes, sterling soya bean meal contract traded up to 31 December 1984; and the 100 tonnes US Dollar soya bean meal contract traded from 1 July 1983 to 22 August 1984.(5) The contract currently traded on the soya bean meal market is for 20 tonnes, or multiples of 20 tonnes, of soya bean meal/pellets of a quality defined in detail in Rule 13.05 of SOMFA's rules. The contract is for delivery of each 20 tonnes in one of the stores approved by SOMFA in either the Federal Republic of Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands or the United Kingdom at the seller's option. Quotations are for one year ahead and the months for trading are December, February, April, June, August and October.(6) All contracts traded on SOMFA must be registered with the International Commodities Clearing House Limited (ICCH), an independent service company, which provides clearing and settlement facilities for SOMFA. ICCH has substantial capital and reserves, and is wholly owned by six clearing banks. The principal functions of ICCH are to maintain and organize a 'daily clearing' of all trades and provide a guarantee for due fulfilment of contracts, in accordance with the rules of SOMFA, to clearing members in whose names such contracts are registered.(7) There are three classes of membership of SOMFA. The first class is of voting members known as floor members. Floor members are allowed to trade on the floor of the market. The rules set no limit to the number of floor members. The second two classes of non-voting or associate members consist of trade associate members and general associate members. Their number is similarly not limited. Non-voting members have to pass all contracts through a floor member.(8) The criteria specified in the Articles for floor members require an applicant for membership to meet certain financial requirements. A detailed statement of the criteria in force at the time of application may be obtained from the Secretary. To become a floor member the applicant must satisfy the Committee that it is carrying on business from a properly-established office in London, and that it is actively interested in the trading of soya bean meal. Firms and companies whose principal place of business is not within the member countries of the EEC are not eligible for floor membership.(9) All floor members must be members of the ICCH and must register their contracts with the ICCH which, in return for its fee, guarantees the performance of the contracts.(10) Trade associate members are companies or firms which have a continuing interest in the production, trading or consumption of physical soya bean meal. General associate members consist of companies or firms which have a continuing trading interest in the soya bean meal futures market.(11) Floor membership may be transferred provided that the transferee is elected in accordance with the Articles. Associate membership may also be transferred in accordance with SOMFA's rules.(12) The Committee is now required to give reasons when it takes decisions affecting the members' rights of membership. An appeal procedure applies if the Committee refuses an application for membership, refuses to grant permission for a transfer of membership, or refuses to approve a change in the directorship, partnership, nature of business, legal status or beneficial ownership of a member. The procedure also applies if the Committee suspends a member for more than seven days, or refuses to reinstate a member, or expels a member or otherwise determines that a membership shall cease. In these cases, if the candidate or member is dissatisfied with the Committee's decision, that candidate or member may ask the Committee to reconsider its decision, making such representations and supplying such information as it considers relevant.(13) The rules require that a member must generally be a member of the Association of Futures Brokers and Dealers Limited (AFBD). However, this requirement is not mandatory for all members. A member is excused from this obligation if he is (a) not a floor member and has no place of business in the UK, or (b) engages in business exclusively on his own account or on behalf of a related company, or (c) falls within a category of member which is excused membership of the AFBD by the AFBD itself. The AFBD is one of seven self-regulatory organizations (SROs) which it is expected will be recognized by the Securities and Investments Board (SIB), which was set up in anticipation of the Financial Services Act which stipulates that the only persons allowed to carry on investment business in the UK are 'authorized persons' or certain 'exempted persons'. Members of the SOMFA will be so authorized by virtue of being members of the AFBD. In order to become a member of the AFBD applicants have to fulfil certain qualitative criteria which reflect the AFBD's primary object, i.e. to promote and maintain a system of supervision of the conduct of business by commodity, financial and other futures brokers and dealers, particularly with a view to the protection of the interests of their clients. These criteria relate to the suitability of members' financial and business standing, and eligibility in other respects such as reliability, training, experience and financial resources.(14) The rules provide that 'a' commission must be charged by every member on every transaction effected for another party (whether or not that other party is a member), but the rates of commission are freely negotiable. Where a member adopts a different position in two adjacent trading months ('a straddle') these may be executed for one commission provided that both positions are closed simultaneously.II. LEGAL ASSESSMENT(15) The notified rules and regulations of SOMFA are to be considered as agreements within the meaning of Article 85 of the EEC Treaty.(16) The articles, rules and regulations of the SOMFA were drawn up taking into account the representations by the Commission in relation to various other terminal markets in London. The Commission has already granted negative clearance in respect of the rules of these associations by Decisions 85/563/EEC (1) (sugar), 85/564/EEC (2) (cocoa), 85/565/EEC (3) (coffee) and 85/566/EEC (4) (rubber).(17) The rules and regulations as originally notified specified the minimum net rates of commission which could be charged by a member. The rules specified rates of commission which varied according to who was paying and who was receiving the commission, and whether or not the contract was registered in the client's own name. The rates were cheaper if the contract was registered in the client's own name with the ICCH. They were also lower where the payer was a full member than where the payer was an associate member. The highest rate of commission applied where the payer was a non-member.(18) The rules specified that the rates of commission were the minimum net rates which could be charged by members, and that no portion of this commission could be returned by a member to his client or agent in any shape or form, whether directly or indirectly. The Committee was given powers to examine suspected infringements and had the power to suspend or expel offending members.(19) The Commission considered this system of specified minimum commission rates to be a form of price-fixing and that it violated Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty. SOMFA was requested to abandon the system of fixed minimum rates. The system has now been completely abolished and references to the system in the rules and regulations have been deleted. The rules now provide that 'a' commission must be charged by every member on every transaction effected for another party (whether or not that other party is a member) but the rates of commission are freely negotiable. The Commission believes that this obligation is not appreciably restrictive of competition because it only entails the obligation to charge 'a' commission, without any reference to the commission which is to be charged. It follows that complete freedom exists to negotiate the actual commission rates.(20) Furthermore, as a result of the representations by the Commission, amendments have been made to the rules concerning membership so that membership is now open, and the criteria by which applications for membership are judged are objective (see Facts, paragraph 8 above). The Committee is now required to give reasons when it takes decisions affecting the members' rights of membership. To protect the rights of actual or potential members an appeal procedure has been introduced.(21) The publications in the Official Journal of the European Communities, pursuant to Article 19 (3) of Regulation No 17, did not elicit any representations.(22) The articles of association and the rules and regulations of SOMFA as outlined above do not contain any clauses which constitute appreciable restrictions on competition within the common market. Therefore the Commission, on the basis of the facts in its possession, has no grounds for action under Article 85 (1). Consequently, the Commission is able to issue a negative clearance pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation No 17,. On the basis of the facts in its possession the Commission has no grounds for action under Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty in respect of the articles of association and rules and regulations of the GAFTA Soya Bean Meal Futures Association as notified on 11 April 1975. This Decision is addressed to The GAFTA Soya Bean Meal Futures Association Limited, whose registered office is at Baltic Exchange Chambers, 24/28 St Mary Axe, London EC 3 A 8EP, United Kingdom..

In its Decision (CFSP) 2015/382 (4) the Council decided to extend the scope of the additional criteria to persons and entities not listed by the Sanctions Committee but which fulfil the same criteria.(4) This amendment falls within the scope of the Treaty and regulatory action at the level of the Union is necessary in order to implement it, in particular with a view to ensuring its uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.(5) Regulation (EU) No 204/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly,.

Financial compensation may be granted provided this requirement as to the disposal of products is met.(2) Market stabilisation measures can be fully effective only if the withdrawn products are not reintroduced into the usual distribution network for those products. Any use which could, by substitution, influence the consumption of products which have not been the subject of market stabilisation measures must therefore be ruled out.(3) It is therefore necessary to provide for options for disposing of products withdrawn from the market which meet that requirement and to specify the terms on which those options may be used.(4) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1501/83 of 9 June 1983 on the disposal of certain fishery products which have been the subject of measures to stabilise the market(2) should therefore be repealed and replaced.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,. 1. Fishery products withdrawn from the market by producer organisations in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 and not intended to be eligible for the carry-over aid referred to in Article 23 of that Regulation shall be disposed of in one of the following ways:(a) under the responsibility of the Member States, distributed free of charge in the natural state for their own consumption to philanthropic or charitable institutions established in the Community or to persons who are recognised by the national legislation of the Member State concerned as being entitled to public assistance;(b) used in the fresh or preserved state for animal feed;(c) used, after processing into meal, for animal feed;(d) used as bait;(e) used for non-food purposes.2. Disposal options other than those provided for in paragraph 1 may be authorised by the Commission on an ad hoc basis at the request of a Member State. 1. Disposal of the products for the purposes indicated in Article 1(1)(b), (c), (d) or (e) shall be subject to the condition that the products are:(a) rendered unfit for human consumption immediately after their withdrawal from the market;(b) offered for sale open to any interested operators in accordance with customary regional and local practice. Purchasers must specify the use to which they undertake to put the products so purchased.2. An invoice or receipt shall be issued immediately following the sale referred to in paragraph 1, indicating the identity of the vendor and purchaser, the use to which the products are to be put, the selling price and the quantities concerned. A copy of that invoice or receipt shall be sent by the producer organisation to the competent authorities of the Member State at least every three months.3. Where producer organisations have satisfied the Member State concerned that the products have not found a purchaser since the offer for sale as provided for in paragraph 1, the products shall be rendered unusable by the producer organisations under the control of the Member State.

The Single Programming Document for Community structural assistance in the areas of the Land Niedersachsen concerned by Objective 2 in Germany, covering the period 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1996, is hereby approved. The Single Programming Document includes the following essential elements:(a) a statement of the main priorities for joint action, their specific quantified objectives, an appraisal of their expected impact and their consistency with economic, social and regional policies in Germany;the main priorities are:1. productive investments;2. investments in infrastructure;3. research and development;4. environmental investments;5. support of increase in appropriate training systems;6. continuing scientific education;(b) the assistance from the Structural Funds as referred to in Article 4;(c) the detailed provisions for implementing the Single Programming Document comprising:- the procedures for monitoring and evaluation,- the financial implementation provisions,- the rules for compliance with Community policies;(d) the procedures for verifying additionality and an initial evaluation of the latter;(e) the arrangements for associating the environmental authorities with the implementation of the Single Programming Document;(f) the means available for technical assistance necessary for the preparation, implementation or adaptation of the measures concerned. For the purpose of indexation, the annual breakdown of the global maximal allocation foreseen for the assistance from the Structural Funds is as follows:>TABLE> The assistance from the Structural Funds granted to the Single Programming Document amounts to a maximum of ECU 42,515 million.The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds to the various priorities and measures, is set out in the financing plan and the detailed implementing provisions which form an integral part of the Single Programming Document.The national financial contribution envisaged, which is approximately ECU 47,0 million for the public sector and ECU 36,9 million for the private sector, may be met in part by Community loans, in particular from the ECSC and EIB. 1. The breakdown among the Structural Funds of the total Community assistance available is as follows:- ERDF:ECU 29,845 million,- ESF:ECU 12,670 million.2. The budgetary commitments for the first instalment are as follows:- ERDF:ECU 3,001 million,- ESF:ECU 4,029 million.In accordance with the rules laid down in Article 7, these commitments do not include the amounts relating to the aid schemes not yet approved by the Commission. The corresponding commitments will be made after the approval of the aid schemes concerned.Commitments of subsequent instalments will be based on the financing plan for the Single Programming Document and on progress in its implementation. The breakdown among the Structural Funds and the procedure for the grant of the assistance may be altered subsequently, subject to the availability of funds and the budgetary rules, in the light of adjustments decided according to the procedure laid down in Article 25 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88. This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on the aid schemes in the measures listed for that purpose in the Single Programming Document. In accordance with Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty, the aid schemes must be approved by the Commission and hence the financial commitments shall be reduced by the amounts corresponding to the said measures until the aid schemes are approved by the Commission. The Community aid concerns expenditure on operations under the Single Programming Document which, in the Member State concerned, are the subject of legally binding commitments and for which the requisite finance has been specifically allocated no later than 31 December 1996.

whereas certain Member States have exercised this entitlement; whereas in addition certain Member States have not become party to the Rome Convention;(2) Whereas there are consequently differences between the national laws governing the terms of protection of copyright and related rights, which are liable to impede the free movement of goods and freedom to provide services, and to distort competition in the common market; whereas therefore with a view to the smooth operation of the internal market, the laws of the Member States should be harmonized so as to make terms of protection identical throughout the Community;(3) Whereas harmonization must cover not only the terms of protection as such, but also certain implementing arrangements such as the date from which each term of protection is calculated;(4) Whereas the provisions of this Directive do not affect the application by the Member States of the provisions of Article 14a (2) (b), (c) and (d) and (3) of the Berne Convention;(5) Whereas the minimum term of protection laid down by the Berne Convention, namely the life of the author and 50 years after his death, was intended to provide protection for the author and the first two generations of his descendants; whereas the average lifespan in the Community has grown longer, to the point where this term is no longer sufficient to cover two generations;(6) Whereas certain Member States have granted a term longer than 50 years after the death of the author in order to offset the effects of the world wars on the exploitation of authors' works;(7) Whereas for the protection of related rights certain Member States have introduced a term of 50 years after lawful publication or lawful communication to the public;(8) Whereas under the Community position adopted for the Uruguay Round negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) the term of protection for producers of phonograms should be 50 years after first publication;(9) Whereas due regard for established rights is one of the general principles of law protected by the Community legal order; whereas, therefore, a harmonization of the terms of protection of copyright and related rights cannot have the effect of reducing the protection currently enjoyed by rightholders in the Community; whereas in order to keep the effects of transitional measures to a minimum and to allow the internal market to operate in practice, the harmonization of the term of protection should take place on a long term basis;(10) Whereas in its communication of 17 January 1991 'Follow-up to the Green Paper - Working programme of the Commission in the field of copyright and neighbouring rights' the Commission stresses the need to harmonize copyright and neighbouring rights at a high level of protection since these rights are fundamental to intellectual creation and stresses that their protection ensures the maintenance and development of creativity in the interest of authors, cultural industries, consumers and society as a whole;(11) Whereas in order to establish a high level of protection which at the same time meets the requirements of the internal market and the need to establish a legal environment conducive to the harmonious development of literary and artistic creation in the Community, the term of protection for copyright should be harmonized at 70 years after the death of the author or 70 years after the work is lawfully made available to the public, and for related rights at 50 years after the event which sets the term running;(12) Whereas collections are protected according to Article 2 (5) of the Berne Convention when, by reason of the selection and arrangement of their content, they constitute intellectual creations; whereas those works are protected as such, without prejudice to the copyright in each of the works forming part of such collections, whereas in consequence specific terms of protection may apply to works included in collections;(13) Whereas in all cases where one or more physical persons are identified as authors the term of protection should be calculated after their death; whereas the question of authorship in the whole or a part of a work is a question of fact which the national courts may have to decide;(14) Whereas terms of protection should be calculated from the first day of January of the year following the relevant event, as they are in the Berne and Rome Conventions;(15) Whereas Article 1 of Council Directive 91/250/EEC of 14 May 1991 on the legal protection of computer programs (4) provides that Member States are to protect computer programs, by copyright, as literary works within the meaning of the Berne Convention; whereas this Directive harmonizes the term of protection of literary works in the Community; whereas Article 8 of Directive 91/250/EEC, which merely makes provisional arrangements governing the term of protection of computer programs, should accordingly be repealed;(16) Whereas Articles 11 and 12 of Council Directive 92/100/EEC of 19 November 1992 on rental right and lending right and on certain rights related to copyright in the field of intellectual property (5) make provision for minimum terms of protection only, subject to any further harmonization; whereas this Directive provides such further harmonization; whereas these Articles should accordingly be repealed;(17) Whereas the protection of photographs in the Member States is the subject of varying regimes; whereas in order to achieve a sufficient harmonization of the term of protection of photographic works, in particular of those which, due to their artistic or professional character, are of importance within the internal market, it is necessary to define the level of originality required in this Directive; whereas a photographic work within the meaning of the Berne Convention is to be considered original if it is the author's own intellectual creation reflecting his personality, no other criteria such as merit or purpose being taken into account; whereas the protection of other photographs should be left to national law;(18) Whereas, in order to avoid differences in the term of protection as regards related rights it is necessary to provide the same starting point for the calculation of the term throughout the Community; whereas the performance, fixation, transmission, lawful publication, and lawful communication to the public, that is to say the means of making a subject of a related right perceptible in all appropriate ways to persons in general, should be taken into account for the calculation of the term of protection regardless of the country where this performance, fixation, transmission, lawful publication, or lawful communication to the public takes place;(19) Whereas the rights of broadcasting organizations in their broadcasts, whether these broadcasts are transmitted by wire or over the air, including by cable or satellite, should not be perpetual; whereas it is therefore necessary to have the term of protection running from the first transmission of a particular broadcast only; whereas this provision is understood to avoid a new term running in cases where a broadcast is identical to a previous one;(20) Whereas the Member States should remain free to maintain or introduce other rights related to copyright in particular in relation to the protection of critical and scientific publications; whereas, in order to ensure transparency at Community level, it is however necessary for Member States which introduce new related rights to notify the Commission;(21) Whereas it is useful to make clear that the harmonization brought about by this Directive does not apply to moral rights;(22) Whereas, for works whose country of origin within the meaning of the Berne Convention is a third country and whose author is not a Community national, comparison of terms of protection should be applied, provided that the term accorded in the Community does not exceed the term laid down in this Directive;(23) Whereas where a rightholder who is not a Community national qualifies for protection under an international agreement the term of protection of related rights should be the same as that laid down in this Directive, except that it should not exceed that fixed in the country of which the rightholder is a national;(24) Whereas comparison of terms should not result in Member States being brought into conflict with their international obligations;(25) Whereas, for the smooth functioning of the internal market this Directive should be applied as from 1 July 1995;(26) Whereas Member States should remain free to adopt provisions on the interpretation, adaptation and further execution of contracts on the exploitation of protected works and other subject matter which were concluded before the extension of the term of protection resulting from this Directive;(27) Whereas respect of acquired rights and legitimate expectations is part of the Community legal order; whereas Member States may provide in particular that in certain circumstances the copyright and related rights which are revived pursuant to this Directive may not give rise to payments by persons who undertook in good faith the exploitation of the works at the time when such works lay within the public domain,. Duration of authors' rights1. The rights of an author of a literary or artistic work within the meaning of Article 2 of the Berne Convention shall run for the life of the author and for 70 years after his death, irrespective of the date when the work is lawfully made available to the public.2. In the case of a work of joint authorship the term referred to in paragraph 1 shall be calculated from the death of the last surviving author.3. In the case of anonymous or pseudonymous works, the term of protection shall run for seventy years after the work is lawfully made available to the public. However, when the pseudonym adopted by the author leaves no doubt as to his identity, or if the author discloses his identity during the period referred to in the first sentence, the term of protection applicable shall be that laid down in paragraph 1.4. Where a Member State provides for particular provisions on copyright in respect of collective works or for a legal person to be designated as the rightholder, the term of protection shall be calculated according to the provisions of paragraph 3, except if the natural persons who have created the work as such are identified as such in the versions of the work which are made available to the public. This paragraph is without prejudice to the rights of identified authors whose identifiable contributions are included in such works, to which contributions paragraph 1 or 2 shall apply.5. Where a work is published in volumes, parts, instalments, issues or episodes and the term of protection runs from the time when the work was lawfully made available to the public, the term of protection shall run for each such item separately.6. In the case of works for which the term of protection is not calculated from the death of the author or authors and which have not been lawfully made available to the public within seventy years from their creation, the protection shall terminate. Cinematographic or audiovisual works1. The principal director of a cinematographic or audiovisual work shall be considered as its author or one of its authors. Member States shall be free to designate other co-authors.2. The term of protection of cinematographic or audiovisual works shall expire 70 years after the death of the last of the following persons to survive, whether or not these persons are designated as co-authors: the principal director, the author of the screenplay, the author of the dialogue and the composer of music specifically created for use in the cinematographic or audiovisual work. Duration of related rights1. The rights of performers shall expire 50 years after the date of the performance. However, if a fixation of the performance is lawfully published or lawfully communicated to the public within this period, the rights shall expire 50 years from the date of the first such publication or the first such communication to the public, whichever is the earlier.2. The rights of producers of phonograms shall expire 50 years after the fixation is made. However, if the phonogram is lawfully published or lawfully communicated to the public during this period, the rights shall expire 50 years from the date of the first such publication or the first such communication to the public, whichever is the earlier.3. The rights of producers of the first fixation of a film shall expire 50 years after the fixation is made. However, if the film is lawfully published or lawfully communicated to the public during this period, the rights shall expire 50 years from the date of the first such publication or the first such communication to the public, whichever is the earlier. The term 'film' shall designate a cinematographic or audiovisual work or moving images, whether or not accompanied by sound.4. The rights of broadcasting organizations shall expire 50 years after the first transmission of a broadcast, whether this broadcast is transmitted by wire or over the air, including by cable or satellite. Protection of previously unpublished worksAny person who, after the expiry of copyright protection, for the first time lawfully publishes or lawfully communicates to the public a previously unpublished work, shall benefit from a protection equivalent to the economic rights of the author. The term of protection of such rights shall be 25 years from the time when the work was first lawfully published or lawfully communicated to the public. Critical and scientific publicationsMember States may protect critical and scientific publications of works which have come into the public domain. The maximum term of protection of such rights shall be 30 years from the time when the publication was first lawfully published. Protection of photographsPhotographs which are original in the sense that they are the author's own intellectual creation shall be protected in accordance with Article 1. No other criteria shall be applied to determine their eligibility for protection. Member States may provide for the protection of other photographs. Protection vis-Ă -vis third countries1. Where the country of origin of a work, within the meaning of the Berne Convention, is a third country, and the author of the work is not a Community national, the term of protection granted by the Member States shall expire on the date of expiry of the protection granted in the country of origin of the work, but may not exceed the term laid down in Article 1.2. The terms of protection laid down in Article 3 shall also apply in the case of rightholders who are not Community nationals, provided Member States grant them protection. However, without prejudice to the international obligations of the Member States, the term of protection granted by Member States shall expire no later than the date of expiry of the protection granted in the country of which the rightholder is a national and may not exceed the term laid down in Article 3.3. Member States which, at the date of adoption of this Directive, in particular pursuant to their international obligations, granted a longer term of protection than that which would result from the provisions, referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 may maintain this protection until the conclusion of international agreements on the term of protection by copyright or related rights. Calculation of termsThe terms laid down in this Directive are calculated from the first day of January of the year following the event which gives rise to them. Moral rightsThis Directive shall be without prejudice to the provisions of the Member States regulating moral rights. 0Application in time1. Where a term of protection, which is longer than the corresponding term provided for by this Directive, is already running in a Member State on the date referred to in Article 13 (1), this Directive shall not have the effect of shortening that term of protection in that Member State.2.

Such products consist of engine oils and lubricants for a wide range of applications, but especially for motor vehicles.(2) The Commission has received a complaint from the proprietor of a motor vehicle repair workshop who is bound by an agreement with Castrol. The agreement, concluded in 1968, provided that Castrol would make available an interest-free loan of DM 40 000 and workshop equipment valued at DM 15 000. In return the complainant undertook, for a period of 20 years, to purchase from Castrol 80 % of all his requirements of lubricants, amounting to about 5 000 litres/kilograms per annum and at least 100 000 litres/kilograms in total, at the prices from time to time in force. The complainant asserts that this agreement forms part of a network of similar exclusive purchasing agreements which Castrol has imposed on the German market. He complains that these agreements preclude the firms which have entered into them for a long period not only from obtaining competing products but also from purchasing Castrol products by means of parallel imports at more favourable prices from other Member States. On account of their restrictive effect on competition, the exclusive purchasing agreements are said to be incompatible with Article 85 of the EEC Treaty.(3) As a result of this complaint the Directorate-General for Competition, by a letter of 8 October 1982 referring to the legal basis and the purpose of the request and the penalties for supplying incorrect information, requested Castrol to furnish various information with a view to clarifying the facts. The information requested concerns the market position of the undertaking and its behaviour in the Federal Republic of Germany. Castrol did not reply to this request for information. By a letter of 29 November 1982 the Directorate-General for Competition again requested Castrol to answer the questions asked, but without result.(4) Castrol maintains that the agreement between itself and the complainant cannot infringe Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty since it does not affect trade between Member States. Even ifthe agreement is regarded as forming part of a group of similar agreements, this would not lead to any different conclusion in view of the weak position of Castrol on the relevant market. In any case, it is claimed that the agreements are covered by Regulation No 67/67/EEC (1). Furthermore, the Commission's questions are not formulated with sufficient precision and are not reasonably relevant to the subject of the investigations.II(5) The information requested in Article 1 of this Decision is necessary within the meaning of Article 11 (1) of Regulation No 17, in order to determine the applicability of Article 85 (1) of the Treaty, Articles 1 and 6 of Regulation No 67/67/EEC and Article 7 of Regulation No 19/65/EEC to the exclusive purchasing agreements entered into by Castrol. They are thus within the scope of the power to obtain information conferred on the Commission by Regulation No 17.(6) As an exclusive purchasing agreement, the agreement described above and now before the Commission may fall under the prohibition of Article 85 (1). Such an agreement, even when concluded merely between undertakings in one Member State, may be such as to affect trade between Member States. This is particularly so when it forms part of a series of similar agreements which, taken either in isolation or together with others, and in the economic and legal context in which they are made, may affect trade between Member States and have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition. (Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Communities of 12 December 1967, (1967) ECR 437 - Brasserie de Haecht I). If the requirements of Article 85 (1) of the Treaty were satisfied, it would be necessary to consider the applicability of Regulation No 67/67/EEC. If that Regulation also were found applicable, the Commission would be entitled to consider whether there are sufficient grounds for making use of the power conferred on it by Article 7 of Regulation No 19/65/EEC to withdraw the benefit of group exemption by an individual decision (cf. Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Communities of 1 February 1977, (1977) ECR 65 - Brouwerij Concordia).(7) For the the purposes of its examination the Commission needs to ascertain the extent of the exclusive purchasing agreements maintained by Castrol in the Federal Republic of Germany, and the undertaking's economic and market significance. The questions posed are directed to this end. They are concerned merely with data on the activities of Castrol and do not go beyond what is relevant to this case and what Castrol might reasonably be expected to supply.III(8) Under Articles 15 (1) (b) and 16 (1) (c) of Regulation No 17 the Commission may, by decision, impose on undertakings or associations of undertakings:(a) fines of from 100 to 5 000 units of account where, intentionally or negligently, they supply incorrect information in response to a request made pursuant to Article 11 (3) or (5) or do not supply information within the time limit fixed by a decision taken under Article 11 (5);(b) periodic penalty payments of from 50 to 1 000 units of account per day, calculated from the date appointed by the decision, in order to compel them to supply complete and correct information which it has requested by decision taken pursuant to Article 11 (5),. Deutsche Castrol Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH, of Hamburg, is required, within one month of notification of this Decision, to furnish replies to the following questions:1. Please indicate how many exclusive purchasing agreements of the kind described in I.2 above you have concluded in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Since those quantities exceed the limit set in Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the total quantities of those products on which compensation is payable should be limited.(7) In accordance with the ceilings laid down in Article 27(4) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 for the purpose of calculating the allowance to be granted to each producer organisation, the quantities on which the allowance is payable should be allocated among the producer organisations concerned in proportion to the quantities produced by them in the same quarter of the 2004, 2005 and 2006 fishing years.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,. The compensatory allowance provided for in Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be granted for the period 1 January to 31 March 2007 in respect of Albacore (Thunnus alalunga).The maximum allowance in accordance with the first and second indents of Article 27(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 shall be fixed at EUR 5 per tonne. 1.   The total quantities on which the compensatory allowance is payable shall be 34,320 tonnes of Albacore (Thunnus alalunga).2.   The allocation of the total quantity among the producer organisations concerned shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

That decision is taken on the basis of information supplied to the Commission by the Member States pursuant to Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 and Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 883/2006.(2) Pursuant to Article 17(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 the Commission may, without prejudice to the decisions referred to in Articles 30 and 31 of that Regulation in connection with the clearance of accounts, reduce or temporarily suspend monthly payments to the Member States where, on the basis of the declarations of expenditure or the information supplied by them, it is unable to establish that the commitment of funds is in conformity with the applicable Community rules. Before doing so, the Commission must have given the Member States concerned an opportunity to submit their comments.(3) The Commission must ensure compliance by the Member States with the conditions and time limits laid down in Community legislation for the payment of aid or premiums to beneficiaries as an element in the correctness of such expenditure. It is required, pursuant to Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, to consider ineligible any payments made outside the deadlines laid down by Community legislation. In doing so, the Commission must reduce the amount of the monthly payments granted to the Member States and adjust the financial impact of the reduction in proportion to the delay in payment by applying the different rates provided for in Article 9(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 883/2006. It nevertheless applies, pursuant to Article 9(3) of that Regulation, lower reductions or none at all if exceptional management conditions are encountered for certain measures or if justified reasons are advanced by the concerned Member States.(4) The Commission has noted that some of the expenditure effected up to 31 March 2011 by Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom occurred after the statutory time limits.(5) The Commission considers that particular management problems have occurred in the case of certain measures or that valid explanations have been provided by Belgium, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom and that it is therefore appropriate to apply in those cases lower or zero reductions as specified below.(6) The following payments made outside of the statutory time limits should be deducted from the monthly payments to be made to the Member States concerned: EUR 13 215,75 for Ireland, EUR 1 599 146,78 for Greece, EUR 1 678 840,21 for Spain, EUR 6 820 961,97 for France, EUR 1 238 597,55 for Italy, EUR 1 840 302,79 for Portugal, EUR 82 816,73 for Romania, EUR 346 334,22 for Slovakia and EUR 156 316,53 for the United Kingdom.(7) The Member States concerned have been informed of the proposed reductions. They have been asked to provide information and present their own viewpoint. The reductions were calculated in the light of the information received by the Commission,.

That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(3) The application concerns the authorisation of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-mannanase EC 3.2.1.78 (Hemicell), produced by Bacillus lentus (ATCC 55045), as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 21 November 2006 that the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-mannanase EC 3.2.1.78 produced by Bacillus lentus (ATCC 55045) (Hemicell) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (2). It further concluded that that preparation does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. The opinion of the Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. It does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. This opinion also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(5) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

In conformity with the WTO authorisation to suspend the application of concessions to the United States, the Commission shall adjust the level of suspension annually to the level of nullification or impairment caused by the CDSOA to the Community at that time.(2) The CDSOA disbursements for the most recent year for which data are available relate to the distribution of anti-dumping and countervailing duties collected during the Fiscal Year 2006 (1 October 2005-30 September 2006). On the basis of the data published by the United States’ Customs and Border Protection, the level of nullification or impairment caused to the Community is calculated at USD 81.19 million.(3) Since the level of nullification or impairment and consequently of suspension has increased, the first 32 products of the list in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 632/2006 should be added to the list in Annex I to that Regulation.(4) The effect of a 15 % ad valorem additional import duty on imports from the United States of the products in the amended Annex I represents, over one year, a value of trade that does not exceed USD 81.19 million.(5) Articles 6(1) and 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 contain specific exemptions from the additional import duty. Since the applicability of those exemptions is dependent on certain conditions being met before the entry into force or on the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 673/2005, the exemptions cannot in practice apply for imports of the 32 products now added to the list in Annex I. Specific provisions should therefore be adopted to make these exemptions effective for imports of those products.(6) To avoid circumvention of the additional duty, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on trade retaliation,. Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 is replaced by Annex I to this Regulation. Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 is replaced by Annex II to this Regulation. 1.   Products for which an import licence with an exemption from, or a reduction of duty, was issued before the date of entry into force of this Regulation shall not be subject to the additional duty provided they are classified under one of the following CN codes (2): 4803 00 31, 4818 30 00, 4818 20 10, 9403 70 90, 6110 90 10, 6110 19 10, 6110 19 90, 6110 12 10, 6110 11 10, 6110 30 10, 6110 12 90, 6110 20 10, 6110 11 30, 6110 11 90, 6110 90 90, 6110 30 91, 6110 30 99, 6110 20 99, 6110 20 91, 9608 10 10, 6402 19 00, 6404 11 00, 6403 19 00, 6105 20 90, 6105 20 10, 6106 10 00, 6206 40 00, 6205 30 00, 6206 30 00, 6105 10 00, 6205 20 00 and 9406 00 11.2.   Products for which it can be demonstrated that they are already en route to the Community on the date of application of this Regulation, and whose destination cannot be changed, shall not be subject to the additional duty provided they are classified under one of the following CN codes (3): 4803 00 31, 4818 30 00, 4818 20 10, 9403 70 90, 6110 90 10, 6110 19 10, 6110 19 90, 6110 12 10, 6110 11 10, 6110 30 10, 6110 12 90, 6110 20 10, 6110 11 30, 6110 11 90, 6110 90 90, 6110 30 91, 6110 30 99, 6110 20 99, 6110 20 91, 9608 10 10, 6402 19 00, 6404 11 00, 6403 19 00, 6105 20 90, 6105 20 10, 6106 10 00, 6206 40 00, 6205 30 00, 6206 30 00, 6105 10 00, 6205 20 00 and 9406 00 11.

However, a limited part of the feed formula of rations may comprise in-conversion feedingstuffs as defined in Article 4, point 24, of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91.(2) Producers in certain Member States are currently facing a deficiency of organic feed, due to below average harvests of organic crops, reinforced legal requirements regarding organic origin of feed and expanding markets for organic produce. In order to alleviate that deficiency, it is considered appropriate to provide, during a limited period, for an increase of the percentage of in-conversion feedingstuffs that may be included in the feed ration.(3) A temporary increase of the allowed percentage of in-conversion feedingstuffs will also secure future supplies of organic feed and create incentives for farmers to convert to organic farming by improving the market for in-conversion fodder.(4) Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,.

2004 imposing certain restrictive measures in support of effective implementation of the mandate of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60, 301 and 308 thereof,Having regard to Common Position 2004/694/CFSP on further measures in support of effective implementation of the mandate of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (1),Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament,Whereas:(1) The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was established by means of UN Security Council Resolutions 808 and 827 (1993), which are based on Chapter VII of the UN Charter. The ICTY has the power to prosecute persons responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of the former Yugoslavia since 1991. The Security Council argued that the widespread and flagrant violations of humanitarian law occurring within the territory of the former Yugoslavia constituted a threat to international peace and security and that the establishment, as an ad hoc measure, of an international tribunal and the prosecution of persons responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law would contribute to the restoration and maintenance of peace.(2) On 28 August 2003, UN Security Council Resolution 1503 (2003) called on the ICTY to complete all work in 2010 and on all States to intensify cooperation with and render all necessary assistance to the ICTY, particularly to bring all fugitive indictees to the ICTY.(3) Common Position 2004/694/CFSP stipulates that certain funds and economic resources should be frozen in support of effective implementation of the mandate of the ICTY. These additional restrictive measures should be used so as to control all dealings with funds and economic resources owned by persons indicted by the ICTY who are still at large and to ban any support they might receive from within the Community.(4) These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, in order to avoid any distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary to implement these measures as far as the Community is concerned. For the purposes of this Regulation, the territory of the Community should be deemed to encompass the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty.(5) For reasons of expediency, the Commission should be empowered to amend the Annexes to this Regulation.(6) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,(7) The Treaty, in Articles 60 and 301, empowers the Council to take, under certain conditions, measures aimed at the interruption or reduction of payments or movement of capital and of economic relations with regard to third countries. The measures laid down in this Regulation, targeted at individual persons not directly linked to the government of a third country, are necessary to attain this objective of the Community and Article 308 of the Treaty empowers the Council to take such measures if no other specific powers are provided for in the Treaty,. For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:1. ‘funds’ means financial assets and benefits of every kind, including but not limited to:(a) cash, cheques, claims on money, drafts, money orders and other payment instruments;(b) deposits with financial institutions or other entities, balances on accounts, debts and debt obligations;(c) publicly and privately traded securities and debt instruments, including stocks and shares, certificates representing securities, bonds, notes, warrants, debentures and derivatives contracts;(d) interest, dividends or other income on or value accruing from or generated by assets;(e) credit, right of set-off, guarantees, performance bonds or other financial commitments;(f) letters of credit, bills of lading, bills of sale;(g) documents evidencing an interest in funds or financial resources;(h) any other instrument of export financing;2. ‘freezing of funds’ means preventing any move, transfer, alteration, use of, access to, or dealing with funds in any way that would result in any change in their volume, amount, location, ownership, possession, character, destination or other change that would enable the funds to be used, including portfolio management;3. ‘economic resources’ means assets of every kind, whether tangible or intangible, movable or immovable, which are not funds but can be used to obtain funds, goods or services;4. ‘freezing of economic resources’ means preventing their use to obtain funds, goods or services in any way, including, but not limited to, the selling, hiring or mortgaging of them. 1.   All funds and economic resources belonging to, or owned or held by, natural persons indicted by the ICTY, and listed in Annex I, shall be frozen.2.   No funds or economic resources shall be made available, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of the natural persons listed in Annex I.3.   The participation, knowingly and intentionally, in activities the object or effect of which is, directly or indirectly, to circumvent the measures referred to at paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be prohibited. By way of derogation from Article 2, the competent authorities of the Member States as listed in Annex II may authorise the release of certain frozen funds or economic resources or the making available of certain frozen funds or economic resources, under such conditions as they deem appropriate, after having determined that the funds or economic resources concerned are:(a) necessary for basic expenses, including payments for foodstuffs, rent or mortgage, medicines and medical treatment, taxes, insurance premiums, and public utility charges;(b) intended exclusively for payment of reasonable professional fees and reimbursement of incurred expenses associated with the provision of legal services;(c) intended exclusively for payment of fees or service charges for routine holding or maintenance of frozen funds or economic resources;(d) necessary for extraordinary expenses, provided that the relevant competent authority has notified the grounds on which it considers that a specific authorisation should be granted to all other competent authorities and the Commission at least two weeks prior to the authorisation.The relevant competent authority shall inform the competent authorities of the other Member States and the Commission of any authorisation granted under this Article. By way of derogation from Article 2, the competent authorities of the Member States as listed in Annex II may authorise the release of certain frozen funds or economic resources, if the following conditions are met:(a) the funds or economic resources are subject of a judicial, administrative or arbitral lien established prior to 14 October 2004 or of a judicial, administrative or arbitral judgment rendered prior to that date;(b) The funds or economic resources will be used exclusively to satisfy claims secured by such a lien or recognised as valid in such a judgment, within the limits set by applicable laws and regulations governing the rights of persons having such claims;(c) The lien or judgment is not for the benefit of a person, entity or body listed in Annex I;(d) Recognising the lien or judgment is not contrary to public policy in the Member State concerned.The relevant competent authority shall inform the competent authorities of the other Member States and the Commission of any authorisation granted under this Article. Article 2(2) shall not apply to the addition to frozen accounts of:(i) interest or other earnings on those accounts; or(ii) payments due under contracts, agreements or obligations that were concluded or arose prior to the date on which those accounts became subject to this Regulation,provided that any such interest, other earnings and payments continue to be subject to Article 2(1). Article 2(2) shall not prevent the crediting of the frozen accounts by financial institutions that receive funds transferred by third parties to the account of the listed person or entity, provided that any such additions to such accounts will also be frozen. The financial institution shall inform the competent authorities about such transactions without delay. 1.   Without prejudice to the applicable rules concerning reporting, confidentiality and professional secrecy and to the provisions of Article 284 of the Treaty, natural and legal persons, entities and bodies shall:(a) supply immediately any information which would facilitate compliance with this Regulation, such as accounts and amounts frozen in accordance with Article 2, to the competent authorities of the Member States listed in Annex II where they are resident or located, and shall transmit such information, directly or through these competent authorities, to the Commission;(b) cooperate with the competent authorities listed in Annex II in any verification of this information.2.   Any additional information directly received by the Commission shall be made available to the competent authorities of the Member State concerned.3.   Any information provided or received in accordance with this Article shall be used only for the purposes for which it was provided or received. The freezing of funds and economic resources or the refusal to make funds or economic resources available, carried out in good faith on the basis that such action is in accordance with this Regulation, shall not give rise to liability of any kind on the part of the natural or legal person or entity implementing it, or its directors or employees, unless it is proved that the funds and economic resources were frozen as a result of negligence. The Commission and the Member States shall immediately inform each other of the measures taken under this Regulation and shall supply each other with any other relevant information at their disposal in connection with this Regulation, in particular information in respect of violation and enforcement problems and judgments handed down by national courts. 0The Commission shall be empowered to:(a) amend Annex I, taking into account the Council Decisions implementing Common Position 2004/694/CFSP, and(b) amend Annex II on the basis of information supplied by Member States. 1The Member States shall lay down the rules on sanctions applicable to infringements of the provisions of this Regulation and shall take all measures necessary to ensure that they are implemented. The sanctions provided for must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.The Member States shall notify those rules to the Commission without delay after the entry into force of this Regulation and shall notify it of any subsequent amendment. 2This Regulation shall apply:(a) within the territory of the Community, including its airspace;(b) on board any aircraft or any vessel under the jurisdiction of a Member State;(c) to any person inside or outside the territory of the Community who is a national of a Member State;(d) to any legal person, group or entity which is incorporated or constituted under the law of a Member State;(e) to any legal person, group or entity doing business within the Community. 3This 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..

These limit values are all fixed by reference to three methods of chilling defined in Article 10 of that Regulation, namely air chilling, air-spray chilling and immersion chilling.(4) New technologies have given rise to the development of new chilling methods for which the same rules should apply as for the chilling methods defined in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 543/2008. Therefore, it is necessary to set down the limit values that will apply when new chilling methods are used.(5) Given that the new technologies for chilling poultry carcases are explored in order to improve the overall quality of poultrymeat, the limit values for these new chilling methods should not exceed the lowest limit values established for the air chilling method.(6) Annex XI to Regulation (EC) No 543/2008 contains the list of national reference laboratories. The competent authorities of Malta have notified the Commission of the new designation of their national reference laboratory.(7) Regulation (EC) No 543/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.(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,. Annexes VI to IX and Annex XI to Regulation (EC) No 543/2008 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

The sums of the weights of water (W7) and the weights of protein (RP7) in the seven carcases analysed are determined.(b) In the case of a composite sample analysis, the average content of water and protein from the two samples analysed is determined to give a % and b %, respectively. The weight of the water (W7) in the seven carcases is given by aP7/100, and the weight of protein (RP7) by bP7/100, both of which are expressed in grams.6.2. The average weight of water (WA) and protein (RPA) is calculated by dividing W7 and RP7, respectively, by seven.6.3. The theoretical physiological water content in grams as determined by this method may be calculated by the following formula:(a) Air chilling(b) Air-spray chilling(c) Immersion chilling(d) Other chilling methods or a combination of two or more of the methods defined in Article 106.5. If the average water content (WA) of the seven carcases as calculated under point 6.2 does not exceed the value given in point 6.4 (WG), the quantity of poultry subjected to the check shall be considered up to standard.(3) in Annex VIII, point 6 is replaced by the following:(a) The weight of water (W) in each cut is given by aP1/100 and the weight of protein (RP) by bP1/100, both of which are expressed in grams.(b) In the case of a composite sample analysis, the average content of water and protein from the two samples analysed is determined to give a % and b %, respectively. The weight of the water (W5) in the five cuts is given by aP5/100, and the weight of protein (RP5) by bP5/100, both of which are expressed in grams.6.2. The average weight of water (WA) and protein (RPA) is calculated by dividing W5 and RP5 respectively, by five.6.3. The mean physiological W/RP ratio as determined by this method is as follows:chicken breast fillet: 3,19 ± 0,12,chicken legs and leg quarters: 3,78 ± 0,19,turkey breast fillet: 3,05 ± 0,15,turkey legs: 3,58 ± 0,15,deboned turkey leg meat: 3,65 ± 0,17.6.4. Assuming that the minimum technically unavoidable water content absorbed during preparation amounts to 2 %, 4 % or 6 % (2) depending on the type of products and chilling methods applied, the highest permissible W/RP ratios as determined by this method are as follows:Air chilled Air-spray chilled Immersion chilledChicken breast fillet; without skin 3,40 3,40 3,40Chicken breast; with skin 3,40 3,50 3,60Chicken thighs, drumsticks, legs, legs with a portion of the back, leg quarters, with skin 4,05 4,15 4,30Turkey breast fillet; without skin 3,40 3,40 3,40Turkey breast, with skin 3,40 3,50 3,60Turkey thighs, drumsticks, legs, with skin 3,80 3,90 4,05Deboned turkey leg meat, without skin 3,95 3,95 3,95(4) in Annex IX, the following point 11 is added:‘11.

Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) (3) lays down entry conditions for third-country nationals. In order to facilitate the free movement of third-country nationals who hold national long-stay visas within the territory of Member States fully implementing the Schengen acquis (the Schengen Area), further measures should be taken.(2) Member States should replace long-stay visas by residence permits in due time following the entry into their territory of third-country nationals legally residing on the basis of a long-stay visa in order to enable them to travel to other Member States during their stay or to transit through the territories of other Member States when returning to their home country. However, following the entry of third-country nationals into their territory, Member States increasingly do not replace long-stay visas by residence permits or do so only after considerable delay. This legal and practical situation has significant negative consequences on the freedom of movement within the Schengen Area of third-country nationals legally residing in a Member State on the basis of a long-stay visa.(3) In order to overcome the problems encountered by third-country nationals residing in a Member State on the basis of a long-stay visa, this Regulation should extend the principle of equivalence between residence permits and short-stay visas issued by the Member States fully implementing the Schengen acquis to long-stay visas. As a result, a long-stay visa should have the same effects as a residence permit as regards the freedom of movement of the holder in the Schengen Area.(4) A third-country national holding a long-stay visa issued by a Member State should therefore be allowed to travel to other Member States for three months in any six-month period, under the same conditions as the holder of a residence permit. This Regulation does not affect the rules regarding the conditions for issuing long-stay visas.(5) In line with the current practice of the Member States, this Regulation establishes the obligation for Member States to issue long-stay visas in the uniform format for visas as set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1683/95 (4).(6) The rules on consulting the Schengen Information System and the other Member States in the event of an alert when processing an application for a residence permit should also apply to the processing of long-stay visa applications. The freedom of movement of a holder of a long-stay visa in the other Member States therefore should not constitute any additional security risk for the Member States.(7) The Schengen Convention and Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 should be amended accordingly.(8) This Regulation does not aim at discouraging Member States from issuing residence permits and it should not affect the obligation of Member States to issue residence permits for certain categories of third-country nationals as provided for by other Union instruments, in particular: Directive 2005/71/EC (5), Directive 2004/114/EC (6), Directive 2004/38/EC (7), Directive 2003/109/EC (8) and Directive 2003/86/EC (9).(9) In accordance with Directive 2008/115/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on common standards and procedures in Member States for returning illegally staying third-country nationals (10), third-country nationals staying illegally on the territory of a Member State and holding a valid residence permit, or other authorisation offering a right to stay issued by another Member State such as a long-stay visa, should be required to go to the territory of that other Member State immediately.(10) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the establishment of the rules on the freedom of movement with a long-stay visa, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of its scale and effects be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on the European Union.

In order to be officially recognized, a breeders' organization or association which maintains or establishes herd-books must submit an application to the authorities of the Member State on whose territory its headquarters are situated. The authorities of the Member State concerned must grant official recognition to any breeders' organization or association which maintains or establishes herd-books if the latter meet the conditions laid down in the Annex.However, in a Member State in which in respect of a given breed one or more officially recognized organizations or associations already exists, the authorities of the Member State concerned may refuse to recognize a new breeders' organization or association if it endangers the preservation of the breed or jeopardizes the zootechnical programme of the existing organization or association. In such a case, the Member States shall inform the Commission of approvals granted and refusals to give recognition. The authorities of the Member State concerned shall withdraw official recognition from any breeders' organization or association which maintains herd-books if the conditions laid down in the Annex are no longer being fulfilled in a persistent manner by the breeders' organization or association concerned.

whereas this may result in price differences within the same category as defined in the Annex to Regulation No 136/66/EEC which disturb the market; whereas there are no substantial differences linked to origin in other categories of edible olive oil; whereas, for those categories, indication on immediate packagings of the designation of origin may lead consumers to believe that quality differences do exist; whereas it is therefore necessary, so as not to distort the market in edible olive oils, to establish Community marketing standards which provide for a designation of origin restricted to extra virgin and virgin olive oils which satisfy precise conditions;Whereas the marketing standards relating to origin must take account of the results of the current negotiations on the harmonisation of the rules of origin in non-preferential trade with third countries; whereas a system involving the compulsory designation of origin requires a system for tracing and checking all quantities of olive oil in circulation; whereas such a movement tracing system will be examined at the same time as the classification of the oils to which it applies as part of the work on olive oil quality strategy which must be carried out by 31 October 2001; whereas an optional and provisional system for the designation of origin should therefore be set up within the European Community;Whereas, in the case of imported olive oils, the provisions on non-preferential origin contained in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 82/97 (4), must be complied with;Whereas the designation of a regional origin may be the subject of a protected designation of origin (PDO) or a protected geographical indication (PGI) pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 (5), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1068/97 (6); whereas designations of a regional origin should be reserved for PDOs or PGIs so as to avoid confusion among consumers and therefore market disturbances;Whereas when the origin of a virgin olive oil relates to the European Community or to a geographical area covering the entire territory of a Member State there can be no confusion in practice with PDOs or PGIs; whereas extraction practices and techniques, particularly in the olive oil production sector, influence the quality and taste of virgin oils; whereas transfers of olives from one country to another are extremely limited, mainly because of the substantial reduction in the quality of the oil obtained which they entail; whereas extraction of the oil should therefore be regarded as conferring origin, which will also take account of the difficulties as regards control and changing the class of product which are involved for international trade;Whereas in the European Community and the Member States a major proportion of the virgin olive oil marketed is composed of blends of olive oils so as to guarantee constant quality and the typical organoleptic characteristics expected by the market; whereas the typical characteristics of the virgin olive oil in the areas in question are guaranteed despite, or sometimes because of, the addition of a small proportion of olive oil originating in another area; whereas, therefore, in order to permit regular market supplies in accordance with traditional trade flows and taking account of the fluctuations in production volumes specific to olive-growing, the designation of origin for such an area should be maintained when the product is a blend containing a small proportion of olive oil from other areas; whereas in that case consumers must be informed that the product does not originate in its entirety in the zone which is the subject of the designation of origin;Whereas designations of origin must comply with Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (7), as last amended by Directive 97/4/EC (8); whereas it is necessary to ensure that the information on labels does not confuse consumers as to origin; whereas, however, existing trade marks may continue to be used if they have been officially registered in the past in accordance with First Council Directive 89/104/EEC of 21 December 1988 to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks (9), as amended by Decision 92/10/EEC (10);Whereas, in order to ensure checking of designations of origin, provision should be made for the packaging plants wishing to indicate a designation of origin on the virgin olive oil they market to be subject to approval;Whereas to allow a period for adjustment to the new standards and the creation of the means needed to apply them, and so as not to disturb commercial transactions, application of this Regulation should be deferred and provision should be made for the disposal of oil packaged before the Regulation is applicable;Whereas the Management Committee for Oils and Fats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,. The designation of the origin of extra virgin and virgin olive oil as defined in points 1(a) and (b) of the Annex to Regulation No 136/66/EEC on packagings intended for consumers in the Member States or on labels attached to those packagings shall be optional. If that option is taken up by an operator designation of the origin shall be authorised solely in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation.The designation of the origin of other olive oils and olive-residue oils as referred to in the Annex to the above Regulation on packagings intended for consumers in the Member States or on labels attached to those packagings shall not be authorised. 1. The designation of origin shall relate to a geographical area and may mention only:(a) a geographical area whose name has been registered as a protected designation of origin or protected geographical indication in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92;and/or(b) for the purposes of this Regulation:- a Member State,- the European Community,- a third country.2. Without prejudice to the national rules adopted pursuant to Directive 79/112/EEC, the labelling and presentation of the designation of origin for the final consumer shall be in accordance with this paragraph.The designation of origin shall be indicated on the packaging or the label attached to the packaging within the meaning of Article 1(3) of Directive 79/112/EEC in such a way that it can be easily understood by the final consumer.Any reference to a geographical area on the packaging or the label attached to the packaging shall be regarded as a designation of origin bound by the provisions of this Regulation, with the exception of:- the names of brands or firms whose registration was applied for before 1 January 1999 in accordance with Directive 89/104/EEC,- designations granted pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92. 1. In the case of oils benefiting from a protected designation of origin or from a protected geographical indication, the designation of origin shall be in accordance with the provisions laid down pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92.2. The designation of origin, where this indicates the European Community or a Member State, in cases other than those referred to in paragraph 1, shall correspond to the geographical area in which the 'extra virgin olive oil` or 'virgin olive oil` was obtained.However, in the case of blends of 'extra virgin olive oils` or 'virgin olive oils` in which more than 75 % originates in the same Member State or in the Community, the main origin may be designated provided that it is followed by the indication 'selection of (extra) virgin olive oils more than (75) % of which was obtained in . . . (designation of origin)`.An extra virgin or virgin olive oil shall be deemed to have been obtained in a geographical area for the purposes of this paragraph only if that oil has been extracted from olives in a mill located within that area.3. In the case of an extra virgin or virgin olive oil imported from a third country, the designation of origin shall be determined in accordance with the provisions regarding non-preferential origin contained in Articles 22 to 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92. 1. The 'extra virgin olive oil` and 'virgin olive oil` whose origin is designated in accordance with Article 3(2) shall be packaged in an establishment approved for that purpose. Approval shall be granted by the Member State concerned in whose territory the packaging facilities are situated.2. Approval shall be granted and alphanumeric identification allocated to any establishment so requesting which:- possesses packaging facilities,- undertakes to keep documentary records and separate storage facilities permitting, to the satisfaction of the Member State concerned, checks on the provenance of the oils whose origin is designated and, where necessary, of the constituents of the olive oil blends whose origin is designated,- agrees to the checks laid down in application of this Regulation.3. The packaging or label attached to the packaging shall bear the alphanumeric identification of the approved packaging plant. 1. Member States shall carry out designation of origin checks in the packaging plants concerned so as to verify correspondence between the designations of origin of the virgin olive oils leaving the plants and the designations of origin of the quantities of virgin olive oils used.2. Member States shall adopt the necessary measures, in particular by establishing a system of financial penalties, to guarantee compliance with this Regulation. They shall notify the Commission of the measures adopted to that end. The packaging requirements of this Regulation shall not apply to products that have been lawfully manufactured and labelled in the Community or lawfully imported into the Community and placed in free circulation before the date when this Regulation begins to be applied. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.It shall be applicable from the first day of the fourth month following its entry into force until 31 October 2001.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

Set-aside payment entitlements should not be taken into account in this calculation.(5) It should be allowed that the private contractual clause referred to in Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 be inserted or modified in a lease contract until the last date for lodging an application under the single payment scheme in 2006.(6) For Member States that apply the regional model established in Article 59(1) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, all payment entitlements should be increased by a supplementary amount as a result of the reference amounts derived from the integration of tobacco, olive oil, cotton and hops payments.(7) In application of Article 71(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, Malta and Slovenia have decided to apply the single payment scheme in 2007. The third subparagraph of Article 71(1) of that Regulation provides that the transitional period shall not apply in respect of cotton, olive oil and table olives and tobacco and shall apply only until 31 December 2005 in respect of hops. Malta and Slovenia would therefore be obliged to implement the single payment scheme only for those sectors and integrate all the other sectors in 2007. In order to facilitate the transition towards the single payment scheme, it is therefore appropriate to provide for transitional rules allowing them to continue the application, in 2006, of the current regimes for olive groves in Malta and Slovenia and for hops in Slovenia, which are the only sectors concerned in those Member States. Malta and Slovenia could therefore proceed to the implementation of the single payment scheme, in 2007, for all the sectors.(8) Article 37 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 as amended by Regulation (EC) No 864/2004 provides that for the olive oil sector, the reference amount corresponding to the individual farmers is the four-year average of the total amount of payments which a farmer was granted under the olive oil production aid, calculated and adjusted according to Annex VII to that Regulation, during the marketing years 1999/2000, 2000/01, 2001/02 and 2002/03. At the time of adopting Regulation (EC) No 864/2004, the Commission had not fixed the definitive amount of aid for the marketing year 2002/03. It is appropriate to amend point H of Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 in order to take into account the unit amount of the production aid for olives for the marketing year 2002/03 fixed in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1299/2004 (4).(9) Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 provides that the total number of payment entitlements is equal to the average number of hectares for which direct payments have been granted during the reference period. As regards the olive oil sector, the number of hectares is to be calculated on the basis of the common method referred to in point H of Annex VII to that Regulation. It is necessary to define the common method to determine the number of hectares as well as the payment entitlements and the utilisation of the payment entitlements in the olive oil sector.(10) Articles 44 and 51 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 consider as eligible to the single payment scheme areas planted with olive trees after 1 May 1998 within approved planting schemes. Those plantings may be considered as investments in the framework of Article 21 of Regulation (EC) No 795/2004. The final date for the authorised plantings under those schemes has been fixed at 31 December 2006. It is necessary to fix a later date for the investments concerning olive-tree plantings.(11) Regulations (EC) No 1782/2003 and (EC) No 795/2004 should be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,.

Those third countries have to meet all the requirements of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 (STCW Convention) (2), as revised in 1995.(2) The request for the recognition of Ghana was submitted by Cyprus by letter of 13 May 2005. Following this request, the Commission assessed the training and certification system in Ghana in order to verify whether Ghana meets all the requirements of the STCW Convention and whether the appropriate measures have been taken to prevent fraud involving certificates. That assessment was based on the results of an inspection carried out by experts of the European Maritime Safety Agency in December 2009. During that inspection certain deficiencies in the training and certification systems were identified.(3) The Commission provided the Member States with a report on the results of the assessment.(4) By letter of 20 December 2010, the Commission requested Ghana to provide evidence demonstrating that the deficiencies identified had been corrected.(5) By letter of 21 February 2011, Ghana provided the requested information and evidence concerning the implementation of appropriate and sufficient corrective action to address most of the deficiencies identified during the assessment of compliance.(6) Two shortcomings remain. The first refers to the fact that Ghana does not fully ensure that seagoing service carried out in the navy or on pilot ships is actually relevant for the competencies required for certification. The other relates to deficiencies of fire-fighting training and equipment of a maritime training institution. Ghana has therefore been invited to implement further corrective actions in this respect. However, these shortcomings do not warrant calling into question the overall level of compliance of Ghana with STCW requirements on training and certification of seafarers.(7) The outcome of the assessment of compliance and the evaluation of the information provided by Ghana demonstrates that Ghana complies with the relevant requirements of the STCW Convention, while this country has taken appropriate measures to prevent fraud involving certificates.(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Safe Seas and the Prevention of Pollution from Ships,. For the purposes of Article 19 of Directive 2008/106/EC, Ghana is recognised as regards the systems for the training and certification of seafarers. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

plan for the sustainable exploitation of the stock of sole in the Western Channel. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),Whereas:(1) Recent scientific advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) has indicated that the sole stock in ICES Division VIIe has been subjected to levels of fishing mortality which have eroded the quantities of mature fish in the sea to the point at which the stocks may not be able to replenish themselves by reproduction and that the stocks are therefore threatened with collapse.(2) Measures need to be taken to establish a multi-annual plan for fisheries management of the sole stock in the Western Channel.(3) The objective of the plan is to ensure exploitation of the Western Channel sole stock that provides sustainable economic, environmental and social conditions.(4) Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (2) requires, inter alia, that to achieve this objective, the Community shall apply the precautionary approach in taking measures to protect and conserve the stock, to provide for its sustainable exploitation and to minimise the impact of fishing on marine ecosystems. It shall aim at a progressive implementation of an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management, and shall contribute to efficient fishing activities within an economically viable and competitive fisheries industry, providing a fair standard and taking the interests of consumers into account.(5) In order to achieve this objective the Western Channel sole stock must be brought within safe biological limits by reducing fishing mortality rates and must be managed in such a way that the full reproductive capacity of the stock is maintained and a high long-term yield is provided for.(6) The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries has advised that a fishing mortality rate of 0,27 is consistent with taking a high long-term yield and achieving a low risk of depleting the productive potential of the stock.(7) Such control of the fishing mortality rates can be achieved by establishing an appropriate method for the establishment of the level of Total Allowable Catches (TACs), and a system whereby fishing efforts on these stocks are restricted to levels at which the TACs are unlikely to be exceeded.(8) Control measures in addition to those laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (3), need to be included in order to ensure compliance with the measures laid down in this Regulation.(9) During the first stage in the years 2007, 2008 and 2009, the multi-annual plan shall be deemed to be a recovery plan and subsequently a management plan within the meaning of Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002,. CHAPTER ISUBJECT-MATTER AND OBJECTIVES Subject-matter1.   This Regulation establishes a multi-annual plan for the sustainable exploitation of the stock of sole which inhabits the Western Channel (hereinafter referred to as Western Channel sole).2.   For the purpose of this Regulation ‘Western Channel’ means the area of the sea delineated by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea as Division VIIe. Objective1.   The multi-annual plan shall ensure the sustainable exploitation of the Western Channel sole stock.2.   This objective shall be attained by achieving and maintaining fishing mortality at a rate of 0,27 on appropriate age-groups.CHAPTER IITOTAL ALLOWABLE CATCHES Procedure for setting the Total Allowable Catches1.   For the years 2007, 2008 and 2009 the Council shall decide each year by qualified majority on the basis of a proposal from the Commission on Total Allowable Catches (TACs) for Western Channel sole at that level of catches which, according to a scientific evaluation carried out by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF), is the higher of:(a) that TAC whose application will result in a 20 % reduction in the fishing mortality rate in 2007 compared to the average fishing mortality rate in the years 2003, 2004 and 2005 as most recently estimated by STECF;(b) that TAC whose application will result in the fishing mortality rate specified in Article 2(2).2.   For the years 2010, 2011 and 2012 the Council shall decide each year by qualified majority on the basis of a proposal from the Commission on TACs for Western Channel sole at that level of catches which, according to a scientific evaluation carried out by STECF, is the higher of:(a) that TAC whose application will result in a 15 % reduction in the fishing mortality rate in 2010 compared to the average fishing mortality in the years 2007, 2008 and 2009 as most recently estimated by STECF;(b) that TAC whose application will result in the fishing mortality rate specified in Article 2(2).3.   For 2013 and subsequent years, the Council shall decide annually by qualified majority on the basis of a proposal from the Commission on TACs for Western Channel sole at that level of catches which, according to a scientific evaluation carried out by STECF, will result in the fishing mortality rate specified in Article 2(2).4.   Notwithstanding paragraph 3, if STECF advises that the fishing mortality rate specified in Article 2(2) has not been achieved by 31 December 2012, paragraph 2 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, for 2013, 2014 and 2015 and paragraph 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis from 2016. Constraints on variation in TACsStarting with the first year of application of this Regulation, the following rules shall apply:(a) where application of Article 3 would result in a TAC which exceeds the TAC of the preceding year by more than 15 %, the Council shall adopt a TAC which shall not be more than 15 % greater than the TAC of that year;(b) where application of Article 3 would result in a TAC which is more than 15 % less than the TAC of the preceding year, the Council shall adopt a TAC which is not more than 15 % less than the TAC of that year.CHAPTER IIIFISHING EFFORT LIMITATION Effort limitation1.   The TACs referred to in Chapter II shall be complemented by a system of fishing effort limitation based on the geographical area and groupings of fishing gear, and the associated conditions for the use of these fishing opportunities specified in Annex IIc to Council Regulation (EC) No 41/2007 of 21 December 2006 fixing for 2007 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (4).2.   The Council shall decide by a qualified majority, on the basis of a proposal from the Commission, on the maximum number of days at sea available for vessels present in the Western Channel and deploying beam trawls of mesh size equal to or greater than 80 mm and for vessels in the Western Channel deploying static nets with mesh size equal to or less than 220 mm.3.   The maximum number of days at sea referred to in paragraph 2 shall be adjusted in the same proportion as the adjustment in fishing mortality provided for in Article 3.4.   Notwithstanding paragraph 3, the fishing effort level to be established in each of the years 2008 and 2009 shall be maintained at the level established for 2007.CHAPTER IVMONITORING, INSPECTION AND SURVEILLANCE Margin of toleranceBy way of derogation from Article 5(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83 of 22 September 1983 laying down detailed rules for recording information on Member States’ catches of fish (5), the permitted margin of tolerance, in estimation of quantities, in kilograms live weight of Western Channel sole retained on board of vessels shall be 8 % of the logbook figure. If no conversion factors are laid down in Community legislation, the conversion factor adopted by the Member State whose flag the vessel is flying shall apply. Prior notificationThe master of a Community fishing vessel that has been present in the Western Channel or his representative who wishes to tranship any quantity of sole retained on board or to land any quantity of sole in a port or landing location of a third country shall provide the competent authorities of the flag Member State at least 24 hours prior to transhipping or to landing in a third country, with the following information:(a) the name of the port or landing location;(b) the estimated time of arrival at that port or landing location;(c) the quantities in kilograms live weight of all species of which more than 50 kg is retained on board. Separate stowage of common sole1.   It shall be prohibited to retain on board a Community fishing vessel in any individual container any quantity of common sole mixed with any other species of marine organisms.2.   The masters of Community fishing vessels shall give inspectors of Member States such assistance as will enable the quantities declared in the logbook and the catches of common sole retained on board to be cross-checked. Transport of common sole1.   The competent authorities of a Member State may require that any quantity of common sole exceeding 300 kg caught in the Western Channel and first landed in that Member State is weighed in the presence of controllers before being transported elsewhere from the port of first landing.2.   By way of derogation from Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, quantities bigger than 300 kg of common sole which are transported to a place other than that of landing or import shall be accompanied by a copy of one of the declarations provided for in Article 8(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 pertaining to the quantities of the sole transported. The exemption provided for in Article 13(4)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 shall not apply. 0Specific monitoring programmeBy way of derogation from Article 34c(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, the specific monitoring programme for the sole stocks concerned may last for more than two years.CHAPTER VFINAL PROVISIONS 1Evaluation of management measuresThe Commission shall seek scientific advice from STECF on the rate of progress towards the targets of the management plan in the third year of application of this Regulation and each third successive year of application of this Regulation.The Commission shall, if appropriate, propose relevant measures, and the Council shall decide by qualified majority on alternative measures to achieve the objective specified in Article 2. In particular, the Council may amend the fishing mortality rate specified in Article 2(2) by qualified majority on the basis of a Commission proposal and after consulting the European Parliament. 2Special circumstancesIn the event that STECF advises that the spawning stock size of Western Channel sole is suffering reduced reproductive capacity, the Council shall decide by qualified majority on the basis of a proposal from the Commission on a TAC that is lower than that provided for in Articles 3 and 4, and effort control measures other than those provided for in Article 5. 3European Fisheries FundIn accordance with Article 3(1), the multi-annual plan shall be deemed to be a recovery plan within the meaning of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 in the years 2007, 2008 and 2009, and for the purposes of Article 21(a)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 (6). Subsequently, the multi-annual plan shall be deemed to be a management plan within the meaning of Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, and for the purposes of Article 21(a)(iv) of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006. 4Entry into forceThis Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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..

PROCEDURE(1) By Council Regulation (EC) 71/97, the definitive duty imposed on imports of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China by Regulation (EC) No 2474/93 was extended to imports of certain bicycle parts from that country (hereinafter referred to as 'the extended anti-dumping duty`).(2) On 4 April 1997, Renak International GmbH (hereinafter: 'Renak International`) asked to be exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97, and was suspended from payment of the duty as from that date.(3) In order to ascertain whether Renak International's operations fell within the scope of Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Basic Regulation`), thus circumventing the measures in force, the Commission requested the necessary information from the company and verified it at its premises.(4) The investigation period therefore ran from 1 August 1996 to 31 January 1997.B. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION1. Conditions of Article 13(2) of the Basic Regulation(a) Start or substantial increase of operations(5) Renak International was acquired by a Chinese bicycle manufacturer in 1993 and started its bicycle assembly operations in June 1995, after the original investigation of imports of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China.(b) 60 % of the total value of the parts constituting the assembled product(6) It was established that the proportion of Chinese parts used in the company's assembly operations averaged 69 % of the total value of the parts used in the assembly of bicycles.(c) 25 % rule on the added-value to the parts brought in(7) It was also established that the value-added in the Community on a per-model basis to the parts brought in averaged 23 % of the manufacturing cost of a complete bicycle, and was therefore below the 25 % threshold set by point (b) of Article 13(2) of the Basic Regulation.(d) Undermining of the remedial effects of the duty and evidence of dumping(i) Undermining(8) The Commission applied the methodology described in recitals (19) and (20) of Regulation (EC) No 71/97. A comparison was established between the sales prices of all bicycles assembled by Renak International and sold in the Community during the investigation period, and the 'non-dumped` export prices of Chinese bicycles in the original investigation.(9) The comparison was made between identical or comparable groups of bicycles; and the prices of the assembled bicycles were adjusted in order to ensure that the comparison was made at the same level of trade. The undermining margins for those groups where undermining was found was expressed as a percentage of the total non-dumped import value (cif Community border) of Chinese bicycles, as established in the original investigation, for all groups included in the comparison.(10) Overall, the comparison showed that the sales prices of assembled bicycles have undercut the non-dumped export prices of Chinese bicycles in the original investigation period by an average of 15 %.(ii) Evidence of dumping(11) The sales prices for the bicycles assembled by Renak International in the Community were compared to the normal values previously established for comparable bicycles, using the same criteria and the same reference country, namely Taiwan, as in the original investigation, in as reasonable a manner as possible. The comparable models found accounted for 86 % of the units produced by Renak International during the investigation period. They were considered representative of the total production of Renak International.(12) In view of the fact that normal values had been established at fob Taiwan level for the exporters concerned, resale prices in the Community had to be made comparable to this level. The actual comparison was thus made between fob China and fob Taiwan.(13) The dumping margin found was 19 %.C. CONCLUSION(14) For the reasons explained above, it was established that the assembly operations of Renak International fell within the scope of Article 13(2) of the Basic Regulation during the investigation period. Accordingly, pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 88/97, the suspension of payment of the extended anti-dumping duty is lifted for Renak International.(15) The company was informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to propose the rejection of its request for exemption, and was given an opportunity to comment. The comments were considered and, where appropriate, the findings have been changed accordingly,. The application of Renak International GmbH pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 to be exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty is hereby rejected.

SOLBESMEASURES TO ENSURE THE CONTINUED COMPLIANCE OF CONTAINERS WITH THE STANDARDS FOR TRANSPORT OF GOODS UNDER CUSTOMS SEALSRESOLUTION No 46Adopted on 20 November 1987by the Group of Experts on Customs Questions Affecting TransportTHE GROUP OF EXPERTS ON CUSTOMS QUESTIONS AFFECTING TRANSPORT,Bearing in mind the provisions of Articles 13 and 14 of the Customs Convention on the International Transport of Goods under cover of TIR Carnets (TIR Convention (1975)) and Annex 7 thereto,Considering the need for continued compliance of containers with the standards for transport of goods under customs seals;RECOMMENDS to the contracting parties to the TIR Convention (1975) the following measures to ensure the continued compliance of containers with the standards for transport of goods under customs seal (Articles 13 and 14 and Annex 7 of the TIR Convention (1975)):1. When a container has a serious defect and consequently no longer complies with the standards under which it was approved for transport under customs seal, the customs should notify the party responsible for the container and afford him the opportunity to restore the container to the condition which had justified its approval if this can be accomplished expeditiously. After the appropriate repairs to the container, it can continue its trip under customs seal. If the container is not properly repaired or if the party concerned prefers to have the container repaired in another country where the approval of the container was given, the customs should either:(a) refuse sealing and transport approval if sealing is considered necessary; or(b) remove the container from circulation and have the contents transhipped to another means of transport; or(c) allow the container to go forward under appropriate procedures which do not involve any risk of smuggling or loss or damage to the container's contents, the defect being annotated on transit documents.2. When the customs causes the approval plate to be removed or when a serious defect is discovered in a series of containers which renders them no longer in compliance with the standards under which they were approved for tansport under customs seal, the approval authority or, where appropriate, the customs administration responsible for the approval should be notified accordingly. The original certifying authority should be invited to participate in the recertification process when it is conducted outside the territory of that contracting party.Note:A container shall be considered to have a serious defect if:(a) goods can be removed from, or introduced into, the sealed part of the container without leaving obvious traces of tampering or without breaking the customs seal;(b) customs seals cannot be simply and effectively affixed to the container;(c) it contains concealed spaces where goods may be hidden;(d) spaces capable of holding goods are not readily accessible for customs inspection.REQUESTS the contracting parties to notify the Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Europe, if possible by 1 July 1988, whether they accept this resolution;REQUESTS the Executive Secretary to circulate the replies received from governments. +",customs formalities;customs clearance;customs declaration;container;transport document;TIR carnet;accompanying document;consignment note;way bill;harmonisation of standards;compatibility of materials;compatible material;harmonization of standards;transport authorisation;transport authorization;carriage of goods;goods traffic;haulage of goods,18 +22571,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 2603/2001 of 28 December 2001 concerning the increase and opening of tariff quotas applicable to the importation into the European Community of certain processed agricultural products originating in Switzerland and in Liechtenstein. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2580/2000(2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,Having regard to Council Decision 2000/239/EC(3) concerning the conclusion of an Agreement (""the Agreement"") in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community, of the one part, and the Swiss Confederation, of the other part, on Protocol 2 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation(4), and in particular Article 2 thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2905/2000 of 29 December 2000, concerning the increase and opening of tariff quotas applicable to the importation into the European Community of certain processed agricultural products originating in Switzerland and in Liechtenstein(5), opened, for the year 2001, the annual quotas provided for in section III(1) and (3) of the Agreement.(2) The Agreement provides that the two parties may decide, before 31 March 2002, to extend the measures laid down.

Such contribution may amount to 80 % for axis 1 and axis 3 as well as for technical assistance, and to 82 % for axis 2.(3) The co-financing rates specified per axis cannot apply to the amounts that, as provided for in Section I, sub-section E, of Annex VIII to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, may be granted to farmers eligible for complementary national direct payments or aids under Article 143c of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (3).(4) The maximum financial contribution of the Community to complements to direct payments amounts needs to be specified also for the purpose of applying Commission Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006 of 15 December 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) (4), Annex II to which provides for an indicative financial breakdown by rural development axis and measure, including the measure ‘complements to direct payments’.(5) With a view to maintain the results of the accession negotiations and the consistency of the co-financing rates system after technical adaptations has been done to the regulations concerning rural development, the maximum financial contribution of the Community to complements to direct payments amounts should be fixed at the same percentage as for axis 1 and 3 as well as for the technical assistance,.

That category includes fruit or vegetable spreads similar to jams, jellies and marmalades as defined by Council Directive 2001/113/EC (3). The application was subsequently made available to the Member States pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008.(4) Council Directive 2001/113/EC describes and defines jams, jellies and marmalades. Fruit or vegetable spreads, similar to jams, jellies and marmalades, which fall within sub food category 04.2.5.3, may contain ingredients other than those listed in Annex II to Directive 2001/113/EC (e.g. vitamins, minerals and flavourings).(5) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 authorises the use of sweeteners Aspartame (E 951), Neotame (E 961) and Salt of aspartame-acesulfame (E 962) in energy-reduced jams, jellies and marmalades, as well as in other similar fruit spreads as dried-fruit-based sandwich spreads that are energy-reduced or with no added sugar.(6) An extension of use of those sweeteners to all other energy-reduced similar fruit or vegetable spreads will allow their use in a similar way as in energy-reduced jams, jellies and marmalades.(7) As fruit or vegetable spreads are used as an alternative to jams, jellies and marmalades, the use of sweeteners in those spreads will not lead to an additional exposure of the consumer and therefore is not of safety concern.(8) Pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, the Commission is to seek the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority in order to update the Union list of food additives set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, except where such update is not liable to have an effect on human health. Since the extension of use of Aspartame (E 951), Neotame (E 961) and Salt of aspartame-acesulfame (E 962) to all other energy-reduced similar fruit or vegetable spreads constitutes an update of that list which is not liable to have an effect on human health, it is not necessary to seek the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority.(9) Therefore, Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 should be amended accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,. Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

By way of derogation from Article 9 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Kingdom of Denmark is authorized to include, within Article 9 (2) (e) of the Directive, telecommunications services. In the case of a Member State making use of this facility, the provisions of Article 9 (3) (b) of the Directive shall also apply to these services.Telecommunications services shall be deemed to be services relating to the transmission, emission or reception of signals, writing, images and sounds or information of any nature by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic systems, including the transfer or assignment of the right to use capacity for such transmission, emission or reception. This Decision may be applied to telecommunications services in respect of which the chargeable event took place from 1 January 1997. It will also apply to prepayments made in respect of telecommunications services paid for before the date of implementation of this Decision by the Member State insofar as these prepayments cover supplies of telecommunications services which are performed after the date of implementation. The authorization specified in this Decision shall apply until 31 December 1999, or, if a Directive altering the place of taxation of telecommunications services enters into force at an earlier date, until that date.

That list includes oxamyl.(2) For oxamyl, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 703/2001 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the Rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. For oxamyl the Rapporteur Member State was Ireland and all relevant information was submitted on 25 August 2003.(3) The assessment report has been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA within its Working Group Evaluation and presented to the Commission on 14 January 2005 in the format of the EFSA Scientific Report for oxamyl (4). This report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 15 July 2005 in the format of the Commission review report for oxamyl.(4) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing oxamyl may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include oxamyl in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.(5) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore it is appropriate to require that oxamyl should be subjected to further testing for confirmation of the risk assessment for some issues and that such studies should be presented by the notifier.(6) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.(7) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.(8) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing oxamyl to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.(9) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 31 January 2007 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 February 2007.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. 1.   Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing oxamyl as an active substance by 31 January 2007.By that date, they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to oxamyl are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.2.   By derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing oxamyl as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 30 July 2006 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning oxamyl. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing oxamyl as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 July 2010 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing oxamyl as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 July 2010 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.

In parallel, the Commission accepted, inter alia, a price undertaking from the Polish exporting producer Drumet (Drumet) under Article 2(1) of the said Regulation. Imports of the products covered produced and directly exported to the Community by Drumet were exempted from the anti-dumping duty by Article 1(3) of the said Regulation.(4) These proceedings were combined and ultimately resulted in a definitive anti-dumping duty being imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1796/1999(5) in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping. Drumet continued to be exempted from the definitive duties by virtue of and subject to its undertaking.(5) Furthermore, the Commission accepted a price undertaking from, inter alia, the Ukrainian exporting producer Joint Stock Company Silur (Silur) by Commission Decision 1999/572/EC(6).B. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE UNDERTAKING1. Drumet (Poland)(6) The undertaking accepted from Drumet only applied to imports into the Community of SWR which have been produced and sold directly (i.e. invoiced and shipped) by Drumet to its first unrelated customers in the Community (Clause 2 of the undertaking).(7) Furthermore, Drumet undertook not to circumvent the provisions of the undertaking, inter alia, ""by any other means"", according to Clause 6 of the undertaking.(8) Following verifications by the Commission services in charge of the monitoring of the undertaking, it was established that Drumet had committed two types of breaches of the above obligations. Firstly, it had not sold all its exports of SWR to the Community directly to unrelated importers, but via a related importer in the Community. Secondly, it had repeatedly submitted misleading information about the relationship with this importer, thus not only breaching Clause 6 of the undertaking, but also the relationship of trust established with the Commission which was the basis for acceptance of any undertaking. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1678/2003(7) sets out in detail the nature of the breaches found.(9) Acceptance of the undertaking has been withdrawn by means of the abovementioned Commission Regulation and, therefore, in accordance with Articles 8 and 9 of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, definitive anti-dumping duties should be imposed forthwith on imports of the product concerned manufactured by Drumet.2. Silur (Ukraine)(10) Silur undertook, inter alia, not to circumvent the provisions of the undertaking by making misleading declarations regarding the origin of SWR or by any other means. Furthermore, the scope of the undertaking is limited to certain product types of SWR (SWR covered). SWR other than SWR covered are subject to the payment of the anti-dumping duty.(11) An investigation carried out by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) revealed that imports of SWR into the Community which had been produced by Silur were, with Silur's knowledge, imported into the Community with a declared false origin. Furthermore, it was established that SWR other than SWR covered had been sold to the Community as if they were covered by the undertaking and thus unduly benefiting from the exemption of the payment of the anti-dumping duties. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1678/2003 sets out in detail the nature of the breaches found.(12) In the circumstances, acceptance of the undertaking has been withdrawn by the abovementioned Commission Regulation, upon the request of Silur. Therefore in accordance with Articles 8 and 9 of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, definitive anti-dumping duties should be imposed forthwith on imports of the product concerned manufactured by Silur.C. AMENDMENT OF REGULATION (EC) No 1796/1999(13) In view of the withdrawal of the undertakings and pursuant to Article 8(9) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1796/1999 should be amended, and goods manufactured by Drumet and Silur should be subject to the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty for each company as set out in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1796/1999 (27,9 % for Drumet and 51,8 % for Silur),. 1.

That list includes warfarin.(2) For warfarin the effects on human health and the environment has been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. By Commission Regulation (EC) No 933/94 of 27 April 1994 laying down the active substances of plant protection products and designating the rapporteur Member State for the implementation of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (3), Ireland was designated as Rapporteur Member State. Ireland submitted the relevant assessment report and recommendations to the Commission on 8 May 1996 in accordance with Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92.(3) The assessment report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The review was finalised on 23 September 2005 in the format of the Commission review report for warfarin.(4) The report on warfarin and further information were also submitted to the Scientific Committee for Plants. The Committee was asked to comment on the acceptability of using clinical data generated following repeated warfarin use as an anti-coagulant in human medicine for establishing an acceptable daily intake (ADI) and an acceptable operator exposure level (AOEL). In its opinion (4), the Scientific Committee concluded that it is not necessary to allocate an ADI for warfarin. Furthermore, data available from the extensive clinical use of warfarin as an anticoagulant may confidently be expected to support the establishment of an ADI, should this be considered necessary. An AOEL can likewise be established based on human data, taking into account that in rats about 15 % of the applied dose is absorbed through the skin.(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made, that plant protection products containing warfarin may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include warfarin in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisation of plant protection products containing warfarin can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.(6) Warfarin is used as a rodenticide. All other active substances used as rodenticides are covered by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1112/2002 of 20 June 2002 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC (5). Furthermore, the substance is currently subject to evaluation in the framework of 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 (6). As with all substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, the status of warfarin could be reviewed under Article 5(5) of that Directive in the light of any new data becoming available, in particular from the assessment of similar substances or from the assessment of warfarin itself under Directive 98/8/EC.(7) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties, it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing warfarin to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.(10) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.(11) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 March 2007, at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 April 2007.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. 1.   Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing warfarin as an active substance by 31 March 2007. By that date, they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive, relating to warfarin, are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13.2.   By derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing warfarin as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 30 September 2006 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning warfarin. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing warfarin as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 September 2010 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing warfarin as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 September 2010 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.

Exceptions to that rule are possible provided that conditions are laid down offering equivalent guarantees.(2) In the event that export refunds are differentiated according to destination, Article 18(1) and (2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1253/2002(4), stipulates that part of the refund, calculated using the lowest rate for the refund, is to be paid on application by the exporter once proof is furnished that the product has left the customs territory of the Community.(3) Under special arrangements with certain third countries, the refund rate applicable to the export of certain milk products to those countries may be lower, in some cases by a large amount, than the refund normally applied. It is also possible that a refund may not be fixed so the lowest rate of the refund is also the result of the lack of fixing of a refund.(4) Council Regulation (EC) No 1151/2002 of 27 June 2002 establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and providing for an adjustment, as an autonomous and transitional measure, of certain agricultural concessions provided for in the Europe Agreement with Estonia(5) establishes concessions in the form of reciprocal tariff quotas involving the abolition of Community refunds on certain milk products. Similar concessions have been agreed with Latvia and Lithuania. Refunds for the products concerned from the three Baltic states have therefore been abolished with effect from 4 July 2002.(5) The abolition of refunds entails a differentiation of refunds for certain milk products. So as to avoid requiring exporters to furnish proof of arrival at destination in order to qualify for a refund in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, the authorities of the countries to whom concessions have been granted have undertaken to ensure that only consignments of Community products which have not received refunds will be accepted for import into those countries. To that end, the provisions applicable to Poland by virtue of Article 20(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1368/2002(7), have been extended to the countries and products concerned. A derogation should therefore be made from Article 31(10) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.(6) Article 20(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 obliges operators to present a certified copy of the export licence and the corresponding export declaration to the competent authorities when the products referred to in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 are imported to the destinations referred to in that Annex. The export licence must bear special indications guaranteeing that the products concerned have not received an export refund. The authorities of the third countries concerned are to verify compliance with the provisions of Article 20b of Regulation (EC) No 174/1999.(7) Account should be taken of these special arrangements when applying Regulations (EC) No 1255/1999 and (EC) No 800/1999 so as to avoid imposing on exporters unnecessary financial charges during their trade with third countries. To that end, when the lowest refund rate is determined the rates fixed on the conditions and for the particular destination concerned should not be taken into account.(8) For the sake of clarity, Commission Regulation (EC) No 2886/2000 of 27 December 2000 derogating from Article 31(10) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards proof of arrival at destination in the case of differentiated refunds and laying down detailed rules for the application of the lowest export refund rate for certain milk products(8), which lays down similar provisions for the export of certain products to Poland, should be repealed. The provisions of that Regulation should be incorporated into this Regulation.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,. By derogation from the third indent of Article 31(10) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, proof of arrival at destination shall not be required for the products referred to in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 174/1999. The fact that no refund is fixed on the products referred to in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 shall not be taken into account in determining the lowest refund rate within the meaning of the first subparagraph of Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999. Regulation (EC) No 2886/2000 is hereby repealed. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.It shall apply to licences applied for from 4 July 2002.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

This plan aims to refinance the company and to open a second work face which should improve productivity and lead to a reduction in the cost of production per tonne.By letter of 12 September 1994, the United Kingdom informed the Commission that Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd forecast a negative result in its operating account of £ 1 115 554 for an estimated amount of 520 000 tonnes of coal produced. This loss can be explained by the poor results in the first half of the year before the technical and financial measures of the aforementioned plan had been implemented.Operating aid totalling £ 230 000 aimed at covering operating losses must be evaluated in accordance with the aims of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and particularly with those set out in Article 2 (1). Given coal prices on the international markets, this support will enable Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd to make new progress towards economic viability and thus to stabilize in the future. The support will also help to solve social and regional problems created by reductions in the activity of production units in the Lothian area.The proposed aid, together with that approved pursuant to Decision 94/574/ECSC, does not exceed, for each tonne produced, the difference between production costs and the average foreseeable revenue for the year 1994. It is therefore in compliance with the first indent of Article 3 (1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.The coal produced by Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd will be largely bought by Scottish Power plc, under a contract covering the period 1 April 1993 to 31 March 1998. The amount of operating aid per tonne will not cause delivered prices for Community coal to be lower than those for coal of a similar quality from third countries. The aid must not entail distortions of competition between coal users. The United Kingdom supplied to the Commission the information required to calculate the forecast costs of production and receipts per tonne. The information notified by the United Kingdom Government has therefore allowed verification that the conditions of the third, fourth and fifth indents of Article 3 (1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC are met in full.Aid to cover operating losses at Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd aims to facilitate the modernization, rationalization and restructuring plan of the British coalmining industry.In the light of the foregoing and on the basis of the information supplied by the United Kingdom, the proposed aid for current production at Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market.III In accordance with the second indent of Article 3 (1) and Article 9 (2) and (3) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission will ensure that the aid authorized for current production complies with the aims set out in Articles 3 and 4 of the Decision. To this end, it must be informed of the amount paid and how it is distributed,. The United Kingdom is hereby authorized to grant Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd the sum of £ 230 000. The United Kingdom shall inform the Commission, before 30 September 1995 of the amount actually paid as a result of this Decision.

That list includes abamectin, epoxiconazole, fenpropimorph, fenpyroximate and tralkoxydim.(2) For those active substances the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 1490/2002 for a range of uses proposed by the notifiers. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. For abamectin the rapporteur Member State was the Netherlands and all relevant information was submitted on 27 October 2005. For epoxiconazole, fenpropimorph and fenpyroximate the rapporteur Member State was Germany and all relevant information was submitted on 28 April 2005, 17 March 2005 and 25 October 2005 respectively. For tralkoxydim the rapporteur Member State was the United Kingdom and all relevant information was submitted on 6 September 2005.(3) The assessment reports have been peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 29 May 2008 for abamectin, on 26 March 2008 for epoxiconazole and tralkoxydim, on 14 April 2008 for fenpropimorph, on 5 May 2008 for fenpyroximate in the format of the EFSA Scientific Reports (4). These reports have been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 11 July 2008 in the format of the Commission review reports for abamectin, epoxiconazole, fenpropimorph, fenpyroximate and tralkoxydim.(4) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing abamectin, epoxiconazole, fenpropimorph, fenpyroximate and tralkoxydim may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review reports. It is therefore appropriate to include these active substances in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing these active substances can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.(5) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that abamectin should be subjected to further studies on the specification and further information is required to confirm the risk to birds and mammals, to aquatic organisms, and to groundwater with respect to the metabolite U8. Epoxiconazole should be subjected to further testing of its potential endocrine disrupting properties and to a monitoring programme to assess the long-range atmospheric transport and related environmental risks; further information is required as regards the residues of its metabolites in primary crops, rotational crops and products of animal origin as well as information to address the long-term risk to herbivorous birds and mammals. Fenpropimorph should be subjected to further testing to confirm the mobility in soil of metabolite BF-421-7. Fenpyroximate should be subjected to further testing for confirmation of the risk to aquatic organisms from metabolites containing the benzyl moiety and the risk of biomagnification in aquatic food chains. Tralkoxydim should be subjected to further testing for confirmation of the long-term risk to herbivorous mammals. All the above mentioned studies and information should be presented by the notifiers within the deadlines set in Annex I of this Directive.(6) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.(7) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing abamectin, epoxiconazole, fenpropimorph, fenpyroximate and tralkoxydim to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By way of derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.(8) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 (5) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.(9) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 October 2009 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 November 2009.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. 1.   Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing abamectin, epoxiconazole, fenpropimorph, fenpyroximate and tralkoxydim as active substances by 31 October 2009.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to abamectin, epoxiconazole, fenpropimorph, fenpyroximate and tralkoxydim are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing abamectin, epoxiconazole, fenpropimorph, fenpyroximate and tralkoxydim as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 30 April 2009 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning abamectin, epoxiconazole, fenpropimorph, fenpyroximate and tralkoxydim respectively. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing abamectin, epoxiconazole, fenpropimorph, fenpyroximate and tralkoxydim as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 April 2013 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing abamectin, epoxiconazole, fenpropimorph, fenpyroximate and tralkoxydim as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 April 2013 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.

whereas, in the light of this, the Council considered that priority should be given to improving access to the Japanese market; whereas the Council has emphasised the need for complementarity between the actions of the Community and those of the Member States, in particular in its Conclusions on Market Access of 13 May and 10 June 1996;(2) Whereas it is the primary responsibility of Member States to draw up and implement programmes of measures and actions to support the efforts of their exporters to build up a commercial presence in foreign markets;(3) Whereas the implementation of appropriate measures and actions to improve access of European Union goods and cross-border services to Japan and to eliminate trade barriers should contribute to reducing the Community's trade imbalance with Japan;(4) Whereas, in order to compete successfully in the Japanese market, Community enterprises should strive to establish permanent business relationships in Japan; whereas this requires them to confront the challenges posed by Japan's unique market requirements and local business practices and complex distribution structures and trade and investment regulations; whereas support by Member States and the Community can assist enterprises to overcome the difficulties resulting therefrom in the early stages of their marketing and investment efforts;(5) Whereas continuing efforts need to be made to build up a pool of European business expertise in Japan, in particular through the longstanding and valued Executive Training Programme, in order to prepare European companies to take advantage of new market openings and to ensure that they are not placed at a disadvantage compared to their foreign competitors;(6) Whereas the specificity of the Japanese market led the Commission, in coordination with Member States, to set up the second ""Gateway to Japan"" campaign in 1997 to complement and back up the activities of Member States in this field; whereas this campaign is at its mid-term point and its immediate discontinuation would lead to a loss of investment in the network responsible for executing the campaign; whereas in the current economic climate in Japan, the ""Gateway to Japan"" campaign should continue until its expiry at the end of 2000, in order to support the continuing efforts by Member States;(7) Whereas support may be given to other specific actions designed, inter alia, to facilitate access to the Japanese market by Community enterprises, notably SMEs, to identify and eliminate trade barriers in accordance with the Community market access strategy outlined in Council Decision 98/552/EC of 24 September 1998(3), to bring high level business missions to Japan to address specific market access issues, to collect information on specific regulatory issues in the field of trade, investment and intellectual property rights in the Japanese market affecting Community business interests, to establish conferences and seminars to promote European Union-Japan trade and investment relations and to promote initiatives to enhance the visibility of the European Union in Japan;(8) Whereas the objectives and operating criteria of the programme of specific measures and actions in the area of goods and cross-border provision of services to be undertaken is to be defined by the Commission in close cooperation with representatives of the Member States;(9) Whereas this Regulation provides for measures to remove trade barriers, to facilitate market access, to promote investment and to promote the export of European Union goods and cross-border services;(10) Whereas part of the activities falling within the scope of this Regulation are covered by Article 133 of the Treaty;

The goal of this study will be to examine the feasibility and to evaluate the cost of alternative risk financing instruments options with a view to determining potential impact on the national and EU budgets and sustainable levels of national support for direct losses.(7) The results of this study could form a basis to consider on the one hand the harmonisation of EU financing schemes, with a view at least to put farmers in an equal position across the EU, and on the other hand to analyse the future of the veterinary fund in the enlarged Community.(8) According to Article 15 of the Internal Rules of 2004 for the execution of the budget, an annual work programme may also be considered to be the financing decision provided that it constitutes a sufficiently detailed framework, and the evaluation, study and review foreseen in this decision constitute such a framework.(9) Appropriations which may be used without a basic act, in accordance with Article 49(2)(a) of the Financial Regulation, must nevertheless be covered by a decision taken by the Commission offering an equivalent framework.(10) Therefore, this decision should constitute a framework equivalent to a financing decision within the meaning of Article 75(2) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (2).(11) The measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

In order to avoid a disproportionate impact of deductions it is necessary to apply a correction factor to the quantities to be deducted from mackerel quotas in respect of amounts overfished from 2001 to 2004.(8) The additional quantity of mackerel fished in excess by the UK in 2005 should be deducted from the UK's 2007 quota.(9) The deduction scheme will be compatible with scientific advice since the total allowable catches for mackerel and herring in coming years will be based on scientific advice which will take into account the adjusted catches resulting from reduced quotas.(10) The correction factor should equate to the 2006 total allowable catch for mackerel expressed as a percentage of the average total allowable catch for the years 2001 to 2004.(11) Additionally, in order to avoid adverse social and economic consequences, the quantities deducted in any one year should not exceed a percentage of the annual quota. It is appropriate to fix this percentage at 15 %.(12) In a case where the quantity to be deducted in any one year exceeds 15 % of the annual quota, the deduction period will be extended to reduce the quantity equal to or below 15 %.(13) Taking account of the request of the Member States concerned to have a smaller amount deducted from certain quotas in 2007 than in the following years from 2008 to 2012.(14) The Committee for fisheries and Aquaculture has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,. Mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and herring (Clupea harengus) quotas allocated to Ireland and the United Kingdom in the years from 2007 to 2012 shall be reduced as shown in Annex I and Annex II.

Procedure(1) In February 1984 the Commission received a supplementary complaint from the European Council of Chemical Manufacturers' Federations (CEFIC) on behalf of the producers representing all Community production of pentaerythritol in which it was requested to extend the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of pentaerythritol originating in Spain to include imports of this product originating in Canada and Sweden.(2) The complaint contained evidence of dumping and material injury therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the extension of the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of pentaerythritol originating in Spain.The Commission accordingly announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2) the extension of the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of pentaerythritol falling within subheading ex 29.04 C I of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code 29.04-66, to include works originating in Canada and Sweden.(3) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting countries and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.(4) All of the known exporters made their views known in writing and have been granted a hearing. With regard to the importers the Commission received information from the following companies:- Ernst Jaeger, Fabrik Chemischer Rohstoffe GmbH, Duesseldorf, Federal Republic of Germany,- Usvico SpA, Milan, Italy.(5) Furthermore, submissions were made on behalf of two users of the product concerned in the Community.(6) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following companies:- EEC producers:- Degussa AG, Frankfurt, Federal Republic of Germany,- Montedison-Resem, Castellanza, Italy;- non-EEC exporters:- Celanese Canada Inc., Canada and its subsidiary Celanese AG, Baar, Switzerland,- Perstorp Chemicals, Perstorp, Sweden;- EEC importers:- KWR Chemicals, London, United Kingdom,- Chimilux, Paris, France.(7) The Commission also requested and received information from ICI Ltd, United Kingdom, who had stopped manufacturing the product concerned in the course of 1983.(8) The investigation of dumping covered the following periods:- with regard to imports originating in Canada: 1 January 1983 to 31 January 1984,- with regard to imports originating in Sweden: 1 March 1983 to 29 February 1984.B. Normal value(9) Normal value was provisionally determined on the basis of the domestic prices of the Canadian and Swedish producers, who exported to the Community and who provided sufficient evidence concerning their sales to unrelated customers on their domestic market.C. Export prices(a) Canada(10) Since all exports to the Community were made through Celanese AG, Switzerland, who purchased the product concerned from Celanese Canada Inc., its parent company, and who resold it to customers in the Community, the export prices were constructed on the basis of the prices at which the imported product was sold by Celanese AG to independent buyers in the Community.(b) Sweden(11) Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid for the product sold for export to the Community.D. Comparison(a) Canada(12) In comparing normal value with export prices the Commission took account, where appropriate, of differences affecting price comparability resulting from differences in conditions and terms of sale, such as delivery and handling costs in the Community, customs duty, discounts and commissions, insurance, freight, warehousing, palletizing and payment terms.Account was also taken of a reasonable margin for overheads and profit at Celanese AG.(13) All comparisons were made at ex-works level.(b) Sweden(14) In comparing the normal value with export prices the Commission took account, where appropriate, of differences affecting price comparability resulting from differences in conditions and terms of sale, such as discounts and commissions, insurance, freight, customs clearance costs and payment terms.(15) All comparisons were made at ex-works level.E. Margin(16) The above preliminary determination of the facts shows the existence of dumping in respect of the Canadian and Swedish exporters, the margin of dumping being equal to the amount by which the normal value as established exceeds the price for export to the Community. The weighted average margins amount to 71,9 and 3,6 % respectively.F. Injury(17) With regard to the injury caused by the dumped imports the evidence available to the Commission shows that imports of pentaerythritol into the Community from Spain, Canada and Sweden increased from 13 071 tonnes in 1980 to 15 166 tonnes in 1982 which represents an increase of 16,0 % and to 16 785 tonnes in 1983 which represents a further increase of 10,7 %.(18) The market share held by the product concerned originating in Spain, Canada and Sweden increased from 26,9 % in 1980 to 31,7 % in 1982 and remained almost stable in 1983.(19) The consequent impact on the Community industry has been a reduction of their sales in the EEC, which decreased from 31 442 tonnes in 1980 to 29 877 tonnes in 1982 representing a decrease of 5 %. In 1983 the total Community sales of the product concerned increased to 33 575 tonnes. Despite this increase in 1983, the market share of the Community producers shows a decrease from 64,6 % in 1980 to 62,8 % in 1983, as opposed to the increased market share held by the dumped imports (see recital 18). Furthermore, production by Community producers, which may also have been affected by the development of consumption in the Community, dropped from 50 931 tonnes in 1980 to 45 247 tonnes in 1983, representing a decrease of 11,2 %. With regard to the capacity utilization of the Community producers, it decreased from 82 % in 1980 to 73 % in 1982; the increase of their capacity utilization to 85 % in 1983 is mainly due to the plant closure of a former Community producer in the same year.(20) With regard to the development of the sales' prices of the Community producers it has been established that a significant price depression has taken place on their main markets in the Community, particularly in the period 1982 to 1983.(21) With regard to the development of the profitability of the Community producers, it has been established that the profits realized in 1980 and 1981 by the main Community producer turned into significant losses in 1982 and 1983 and that the profits realized by the other Community producer dropped significantly between 1980 and 1983. (22) The Commission has considered whether injury has been caused by other facts such as the development of consumption in the Community. It has been established that the consumption showed an irregular development, but that the share of the market held by the Community producers dropped, whereas the share of the market held by dumped imports increased (see recitals 18 and 20). Furthermore, one of the exporters concerned disputed strongly that the plant closure of one of the main producers of pentaerythritol in the Community in April 1983 was caused by the dumped imports, but argued that it was due to its outdated technology. Although it may be true that this producer may not have had the most efficient technology, it considered building a new plant, but decided not to do so, because of the depressed market prices of the product concerned. Therefore, the Commission determined that the effect of all the dumped imports of pentaerythritol originating in Spain, Canada and Sweden taken in isolation, have to be considered as constituting material injury to the Community industry concerned.G. Community interest(23) In view of the particularly serious difficulties facing the Community industry, the Commission has come to the conclusion that it is in the Community's interests that action be taken.(24) In order to prevent further injury being caused during the remainder of the proceeding and in view of the high level of the dumping margin with regard to imports of the product concerned originating in Canada (see recital 16), the action should take the form of a provisional anti-dumping duty with regard to imports from Canada.(25) Since the dumping margin with regard to imports of pentaerythritol originating in Sweden is lower than the dumping margin established with regard to imports originating in Spain in respect of which an undertaking has been accepted (1), it was considered reasonable and appropriate to give the Swedish exporter concerned the opportunity to offer a price undertaking.H. Undertaking(26) The Swedish exporter was informed of the main findings of the preliminary investigation and commented on them. Subsequently, he offered a satisfactory price undertaking of which the effect is that the import prices to the Community of pentaerythritol originating in Sweden have been increased.(27) In these circumstances, the undertaking offered is considered acceptable and the proceeding with regard to imports of pentaerythritol originating in Sweden, therefore, be terminated without the imposition of an anti-dumping duty.(28) No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee.I. Rate of duty(29) Having regard to the extent of injury caused, the rate of the provisional anti-dumping duty with regard to imports of pentaerythritol originating in Canada should be less than the dumping margin provisionally established but adequate to remove the injury caused.(30) Having taken into account, on the one hand, the selling price necessary to provide an adequate profit to Community producers and, on the other hand, the purchase price of Community importers, the Commission determined the amount of duty necessary to eliminate the injury to be 15 %.(31) The Canadian exporter was informed of the main findings of the preliminary investigation and commented on them. Furthermore, he was informed of the Commission's intention to impose a provisional anti-dumping duty of 15 %.(32) A period should be fixed within which the parties concerned may make their views known and request an oral hearing.(33) No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee,. 1. A provisional anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of pentaerythritol originating in Canada and falling within subheading ex 29.04 C I of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code 29.04-66.2. The duty shall be equal to 15 % on the price per tonne net, free-at-Community-frontier, before duty.3. The free-at-Community-frontier prices shall be net if the conditions of sale provide for payment within 30 days from the date of shipment. They shall be increased or reduced by 1 % for each increase or decrease of one month in the period for payment.4. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.5. The release for free circulation in the Community of the product referred to in paragraph 1 shall be subject to the provisions of a security, equivalent to the amount of the provisional duty. Without prejudice to Article 7 (4) (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84, the parties concerned by the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed by Article 1 may make known their views and apply to be heard orally by the Commission within one month of the entry into force of this Regulation. The undertaking given by Perstorp AB, Perstorp, Sweden, in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning pentaerythritol originating in Sweden and falling within subheading ex 29.04 C I of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code 29.04-66, is hereby accepted. The anti-dumping proceeding referred to in Article 3 is hereby terminated. 1. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.2. Subject to Articles 11, 12 and 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84, Articles 1 and 2 of this Regulation shall apply for a period of four months, unless the Council adopts definitive measures before the expiry of that period.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

In November 2008, the Serbian authorities agreed initially with the IMF on a new Stand-By Arrangement which was approved in January 2009.(4) Following a further deterioration of the economic situation and a necessary revision of the programme’s underlying economic assumptions as well as higher external financing needs, an agreement was reached between Serbia and the IMF in March 2009 to turn the Stand-By Arrangement into a EUR 3 billion disbursing programme, which was approved on 15 May 2009 by the IMF Board.(5) The Community intends to provide in 2009 and 2010 Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA) budget support grants of a total of EUR 100 million.(6) Serbia has requested additional Community macro-financial assistance in view of the worsening economic situation and outlook.(7) Given that a residual financing gap remains in the balance of payments in 2010, macro-financial assistance is considered an appropriate response to Serbia’s request under the current exceptional circumstances to support economic stabilisation in conjunction with the current IMF programme. The present financial assistance is also expected to contribute to alleviating budgetary financing needs.(8) In order to ensure efficient protection of the Community’s financial interests linked to the present financial assistance, it is necessary to provide for appropriate measures by Serbia related to the prevention of, and the fight against, fraud, corruption and any other irregularities linked to this assistance, as well as for controls by the Commission and audits by the Court of Auditors.(9) The release of the Community financial assistance is without prejudice to the powers of the budgetary authority.(10) This assistance should be managed by the Commission, in consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee.(11) The Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 308,. 1.   The Community shall make available to Serbia macro-financial assistance in the form of a loan facility with a maximum principal amount of EUR 200 million and a maximum average maturity of 15 years with a view to supporting Serbia’s economic stabilisation and alleviating its balance of payments and budgetary needs as identified in the current IMF programme.2.   To this end, the Commission is empowered to borrow on behalf of the Community the necessary resources.3.   The release of the Community financial assistance shall be managed by the Commission, in close cooperation with the Economic and Financial Committee, in a manner consistent with the agreements or understandings reached between the IMF and Serbia.4.   The Community financial assistance shall be made available for two years starting from the first day after the entry into force of the Memorandum of Understanding referred to in Article 2(1). However, if circumstances so require, the Commission, after consultation of the Economic and Financial Committee, may decide to extend the availability period by a maximum of one year. 1.   The Commission is empowered to agree with the authorities of Serbia, after consulting the Economic and Financial Committee, the economic policy conditions attached to the Community macro-financial assistance, to be laid down in a Memorandum of Understanding. The conditions shall be consistent with the agreements or understandings reached between the IMF and Serbia. The detailed financial terms of the assistance shall be laid down in a Loan Agreement to be agreed between the Commission and the authorities of Serbia.2.   During the implementation of the Community financial assistance, the Commission shall monitor the soundness of Serbia’s financial arrangements, administrative procedures, and the internal and external control mechanisms which are relevant to such assistance.3.   The Commission shall verify at regular intervals that Serbia’s economic policies are in accordance with the objectives of the Community assistance and that the agreed economic policy conditions are being satisfactorily fulfilled. In doing so, the Commission shall coordinate closely with the Bretton Woods Institutions, and, when required, with the Economic and Financial Committee. 1.   The Community financial assistance shall be made available by the Commission to Serbia in two loan instalments, subject to the conditions of paragraph 2. The size of the loan instalments will be laid down in the Memorandum of Understanding.2.   The Commission shall decide on the release of the instalments subject to satisfactory implementation of the economic policy conditions agreed in the Memorandum of Understanding. The disbursement of the second instalment shall not take place earlier than three months after the release of the first instalment.3.   The Community funds shall be paid to the National Bank of Serbia. Subject to provisions to be spelled out in the Memorandum of Understanding, including a confirmation of residual budgetary financing needs, their counter-value in local currency may be transferred to the Treasury of Serbia as the final beneficiary. 1.   The Community borrowing and lending operations referred to in this Decision shall be carried out in euro using the same value date and shall not involve the Community in the transformation of maturities, in any exchange or interest rate risks, or in any other commercial risk.2.   The Commission shall take the necessary steps, if Serbia so requests, to ensure that an early repayment clause is included in the loan terms and conditions and matched by a corresponding clause in the terms and conditions of the borrowing operations.3.   At the request of Serbia, and where circumstances permit an improvement of the interest rate of the loan, the Commission may refinance all or part of its initial borrowings or restructure the corresponding financial conditions. Refinancing or restructuring operations shall be carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in paragraph 1 and shall not have the effect of extending the average maturity of the borrowing concerned or increasing the amount of capital outstanding at the date of the refinancing or restructuring.4.   All costs incurred by the Community which are related to the borrowing and lending operations under this Decision shall be borne by Serbia.5.   The Economic and Financial Committee shall be kept informed of developments in the operations referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3. The Community financial assistance shall be implemented in accordance with the provisions of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (1) and its implementing rules (2). In particular, the Memorandum of Understanding and the Loan Agreement to be agreed with the authorities of Serbia shall provide for appropriate measures by Serbia in relation to the prevention of, and the fight against, fraud, corruption and other irregularities affecting the assistance. They shall also provide for controls by the Commission, including the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), with the right to perform on-the-spot checks and inspections, and for audits by the Court of Auditors, where appropriate, to be carried out on the spot. By 31 August of each year the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a report, including an evaluation of the implementation of this Decision in the preceding year. The report shall indicate the connection between the policy conditions as laid down in a Memorandum of Understanding pursuant to Article 2(1), Serbia’s on-going economic and fiscal performance, and the Commission’s decision to release the instalment of the assistance.

In 2005, the Community and Moldova agreed on a European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plan identifying medium-term priorities in EU-Moldova relations. The framework of those bilateral relations is further enhanced by the recently launched Eastern Partnership. In January 2010 the European Union and Moldova started negotiating an Association Agreement that is expected to replace the existing Partnership and Cooperation Agreement.(2) The Moldovan economy has been severely affected by the international financial crisis, with dramatically declining output, a deteriorating fiscal position and rising external financing needs.(3) Moldova’s economic stabilisation and recovery are supported by financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF financing arrangement for Moldova was approved on 29 January 2010.(4) Moldova has requested Union macro-financial assistance in view of the deteriorating economic situation and outlook.(5) Given that a residual financing gap in 2010-2011 remains in Moldova’s balance of payments, macro-financial assistance is considered an appropriate response to Moldova’s request to support economic stabilisation in conjunction with the current IMF programme. This macro-financial assistance is also expected to contribute to alleviating the external financing needs of the State budget.(6) The Union macro-financial assistance should not merely supplement programmes and resources from the IMF and the World Bank, but should ensure the added value of Union involvement.(7) The Commission should ensure that the Union macro-financial assistance is legally and substantially in line with the measures taken within the different areas of external action and other relevant Union policies.(8) The specific objectives of the Union macro-financial assistance should strengthen efficiency, transparency and accountability. These objectives should be regularly monitored by the Commission.(9) The conditions underlying the provision of the Union macro-financial assistance should reflect key principles and objectives of Union policy towards Moldova.(10) In order to ensure efficient protection of the Union’s financial interests linked to this macro-financial assistance, it is necessary that Moldova adopt appropriate measures relating to the prevention of, and the fight against, fraud, corruption and any other irregularities linked to this assistance. It is also necessary that the Commission provide for appropriate controls and that the Court of Auditors provide for appropriate audits.(11) The release of the Union macro-financial assistance is without prejudice to the powers of the budgetary authority.(12) The Union macro-financial assistance should be managed by the Commission. In order to ensure that the European Parliament and the Economic and Financial Committee are able to follow the implementation of this Decision, the Commission should regularly inform them of developments relating to the assistance and provide them with relevant documents.(13) According to Article 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for the control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers are to be laid down in advance by a regulation adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure. Pending the adoption of that new regulation, Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (2) continues to apply, with the exception of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny, which is not applicable,. 1.   The Union shall make available to Moldova macro-financial assistance in the form of a grant of a maximum amount of EUR 90 million with a view to supporting Moldova’s economic stabilisation and alleviating its balance of payments and budgetary needs, as identified in the current IMF programme.2.   The release of the Union macro-financial assistance shall be managed by the Commission in a manner consistent with the agreements or understandings reached between the IMF and Moldova and with the key principles and objectives of economic reform set out in the EU-Moldova Partnership and Cooperation Agreement and Action Plan. The Commission shall regularly inform the European Parliament and the Economic and Financial Committee of developments in the management of the assistance and provide them with relevant documents.3.   The Union macro-financial assistance shall be made available for two years and six months starting from the first day after the entry into force of the Memorandum of Understanding referred to in Article 2(1). 1.   The Commission, acting in accordance with the advisory procedure referred to in Article 5(2), shall be empowered to agree with the Moldovan authorities on the economic policy conditions attached to the Union macro-financial assistance, to be laid down in a Memorandum of Understanding which shall include a timeframe for their fulfilment (hereinafter the ‘Memorandum of Understanding’). The conditions shall be consistent with the agreements or understandings reached between the IMF and Moldova and with the key principles and objectives of economic reform set out in the EU- Moldova Partnership and Cooperation Agreement and Action Plan. These principles and objectives aim at strengthening the efficiency, transparency and accountability of the assistance, including in particular public finance management systems in Moldova. Progress in attaining those objectives shall be regularly monitored by the Commission. The detailed financial terms of the assistance shall be laid down in a Grant Agreement to be agreed between the Commission and the Moldovan authorities.2.   During the implementation of the Union macro-financial assistance, the Commission shall monitor the soundness of the financial arrangements, administrative procedures and internal and external control mechanisms in Moldova which are relevant to such assistance and the adherence to the agreed timeframe.3.   The Commission shall verify at regular intervals that Moldova’s economic policies are in accordance with the objectives of the Union macro-financial assistance and that the agreed economic policy conditions are being satisfactorily fulfilled. To this end the Commission shall coordinate closely with the IMF and the World Bank, and, when required, with the Economic and Financial Committee. 1.   Subject to the conditions of paragraph 2, the Union macro-financial assistance to Moldova shall be made available by the Commission in not less than three grant instalments. The size of each instalment shall be laid down in the Memorandum of Understanding.2.   The Commission shall decide on the release of the instalments subject to satisfactory implementation of the economic policy conditions agreed in the Memorandum of Understanding.

In determining the sum of the areas for which applications for aid have been submitted, no account shall be taken of the applications or parts of applications found in the course of administrative checks to be clearly unjustified.Where the case arises, the area actually determined in the course of onsite checks pursuant to Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92 (4) shall be counted.3. The sum of the areas for which applications have been submitted, adjusted in accordance with paragraph 2, shall be increased:- by the areas which are still the subject of a set-aside commitment in accordance with Title I of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 (5) in regions where there is a special base area for maize the area which is still the subject of a set-aside commitment shall be allocated according to the same criterion used for determining the base areas;- by the areas sown with arable crops within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92, used to support an application for aid under Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (6).4.

That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(3) The application concerns the authorisation of L-valine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum (KCCM 80058) as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 8 October 2013 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the L-valine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum (KCCM 80058) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that it is considered an efficacious source of the essential amino acid L-valine for animal nutrition. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(5) The assessment of that substance shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that substance should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.(6) Commission Regulation (EC) No 403/2009 (3) authorised L-valine produced by Escherichia coli. In order to ensure the differentiation of the additives in the final feed, their identification number should be labelled on feed materials and compound feed together with their name and added amount.(7) Regulation (EC) No 403/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly. Since the modifications to the conditions of authorisation are not related to safety reasons, it is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which existing stocks may be used up.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,. AuthorisationThe substance specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘amino acids, their salts and analogues’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex. Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 403/2009In the ninth column of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 403/2009, the following paragraph is added:‘Where voluntary declaration of the additive is made on the labelling of feed materials and compound feed, the following shall be included:— name and identification number of the additive,— added amount of the additive.’ Transitional measuresFeed materials and compound feed as referred to in Article 2 which are produced and labelled before 25 February 2015 in accordance with the rules applicable before 25 August 2014 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.

The 26th recital of the final decision states that France accepts procedural conditions which are in particular binding on projects granting aid to an intra-Community sea shipping service between a French port and a port of another Member State and not on those involving sea shipping services between two French ports.(2) On 18 November 2004 the French authorities asked the Commission to amend the final decision to take account of the new, more favourable provisions of the Community guidelines on State aid to maritime transport (2), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Community guidelines’.1.2.   Title of the measure(3) The measure to which the final decision refers is entitled: régime d’aides en faveur du lancement de nouvelles lignes de transport maritime à courte distance (Aid scheme for the start-up of new short sea shipping services).1.3.   Objectives of the amendments(4) The main objective of the proposed amendments is to take into account the new legal framework provided by the Community guidelines as regards aid for the start-up of short sea shipping services and to make the conditions imposed by the final decision compatible with these new Community guidelines on State aid.(5) Recital 26 of the final decision states that ‘To ensure transparency and equal treatment of operators during the project selection procedure, the French authorities have given an undertaking to observe the following procedures:(a) a call for expressions of interest will be published periodically (for example, at the beginning of each year) in the form of a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities giving details of the arrangements for the aid scheme, the procedure to be followed and the selection criteria;(b) in the case of projects between a port in France and a port in another Member State, a declaration of intent will be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities giving details of the objective of the project and of the aid ceiling envisaged. This will invite interested parties to express their interest within 15 working days. If any interested party opposes the aid scheme, stating the reasons, the scheme will have to be notified to the Commission for prior authorisation.’(6) According to the French authorities, the procedures referred to in particular in paragraph (b) of this recital turn out to take a long time to implement and are therefore prejudicial to the smooth progress of such projects.2.   DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE AMENDMENT(7) The French authorities would like to see the final decision amended so as to reflect Chapter 10 of the Community guidelines on State aid to maritime transport, which is the chapter dealing with aid to short sea shipping services.3.   EVALUATION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS3.1.   Provisions of the new Community rules(8) The Commission notes first of all that the previous Community guidelines (3), which were applicable when the final decision was adopted, laid down no particular rule on aid for the start-up of short sea shipping services. Accordingly, it was not illogical for the Commission to lay down in its final decision particular ad hoc rules for approving the specific French scheme designed to support the start-up of short sea shipping services.(9) The Commission also notes that in the mean time it has adopted new Community guidelines and that the latter now provide a framework for State aid for the start-up of short sea shipping services modelled on the objectives pursued by Regulation (EC) No 1382/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 July 2003 on the granting of Community financial assistance to improve the environmental performance of the freight transport system (Marco Polo Programme) (4), which was likewise adopted after the final decision.(10) Chapter 10 of the new Community guidelines provides that individual aid for short sea shipping services is to be considered compatible with the common market if it fulfils the following conditions:‘— the aid must not exceed three years in duration and its purpose must be to finance a shipping service connecting ports situated in the territory of the Member States,— the service must be of such a kind as to permit transport (of cargo essentially) by road to be carried out wholly or partly by sea, without diverting maritime transport in a way which is contrary to the common interest,— the aid must be directed at implementing a detailed project with a pre-established environmental impact, concerning a new route or the upgrading of services on an existing one, associating several shipowners if necessary, with no more than one project financed per line and with no renewal, extension or repetition of the project in question,— the purpose of the aid must be to cover, either up to 30 % (5) of the operational costs of the service in question, or to finance the purchase of trans-shipment equipment to supply the planned service, up to a level of 10 % in such investment,— the aid to implement a project must be granted on the basis of transparent criteria applied in a non-discriminatory way to shipowners established in the Community. The aid should normally be granted for a project selected by the authorities of the Member State through a tender procedure in compliance with applicable Community rules,— the service which is the subject of the project must be of a kind which can be commercially viable after the period in which it is eligible for public funding,— such aid must not be combined with public service compensation (obligations or contracts).’(11) In particular, the Commission notes that the new Community guidelines make no distinction as to whether the shipping service assisted plies between two ports of two different Member States or of the same Member State. The Commission considers that there is no longer any objective reason for maintaining the distinction between the two types of situations, as explained in recital 26 of the final decision.(12) Moreover, the Commission considers that the Community guidelines do not prevent a Member State from implementing a scheme providing aid to short sea shipping services if the individual aid granted under this scheme meets the abovementioned conditions.3.2.   Consequences of applying the final decision without amendment(13) The option of not changing the final decision would, on the one hand, enable France to grant individual aid to services between French ports under conditions more favourable than those provided in the new Community guidelines and, on the other hand, penalise France in setting up projects for services between a French port and a port of another Member State through formal procedures as envisaged in recital 26 of the final decision. Not only do these formal procedures lack any raison d’être in the light of the new Community guidelines but they also place France in a position of inequality in relation to other States which on the basis of the new Community guidelines wish to establish aid schemes or grant individual aid on an ad hoc basis to short sea shipping services with their neighbours.(14) In accordance with Article 88(1) of the Treaty, the Commission must also keep existing schemes under constant review. To this end, it must verify that the rules governing State aid apply uniformly to all existing schemes in the Member States. In particular, the Commission must propose to the latter any appropriate measures required by the progressive development or by the functioning of the common market when more restrictive Community rules enter into force. Otherwise, the Commission would not be able to maintain, pursuant to one of its earlier conditional final decisions, a constraint on a scheme of one Member State while the other Member States implementing similar schemes would not be subject to such a constraint.3.3.   Advantage of the change(15) The option of changing the final decision would make it possible to anticipate the application of the new Community guidelines to the scheme existing in France for the start-up of short sea shipping services before the deadline laid down by the Commission in the new Community guidelines, namely 30 June 2005, so that Member States can, through appropriate measures, bring all their existing schemes into line with the new Community guidelines.4.   CONCLUSION(16) In conclusion the Commission considers that Decision 2002/610/EC should be amended. The proposed amendment will enable France to bring its scheme into line with the provisions laid down in the new Community guidelines in respect of sea shipping services between a French port and a port of another Member State and will also enable projects granting aid to sea shipping services between two French ports to be made subject to the conditions laid down in the new Community guidelines. More generally, this amendment will mean that France will be implementing its scheme under conditions identical to those prevailing in all the other Member States in pursuance of the said guidelines,. The following third subparagraph shall be added to Article 1 of Decision 2002/610/EC:‘France shall make the granting of individual aid within the framework of this scheme subject to compliance with Chapter 10 of the Community guidelines on State aid to maritime transport (6).

The Commission must therefore take a decision on these measures pursuant to Article 9(4) of that Decision. The Commission's approval is subject to compliance with the general objectives and criteria laid down in Article 2 and the specific criteria set out in Article 3 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and, more generally, to the aid's being compatible with the proper functioning of the common market. In addition, in its assessment, the Commission is required to check, in accordance with Article 9(6) of that Decision, whether the measures notified are in conformity with the plan for modernisation, rationalisation and restructuring of the United Kingdom coal industry approved by the Commission by Decision 2001/114/ECSC(2), and Decision 2001/597/ECSC(3) (hereinafter ""the restructuring plan"").II(4) The sum of GBP 4055520 which the United Kingdom is proposing to grant to the coal industry under Article 3 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC is intended to cover the difference between the production cost and the selling price of coal freely agreed between the contracting parties in the light of the conditions prevailing on the world market for coal of similar quality from third countries.(5) The aid is intended for the following units:(a) GBP 739000 for the North East Surface Mines production unit of H.J. Banks and Co., Ltd;(b) GBP 832000 for the Central Surface Mines production unit of H.J. Banks and Co. Ltd;(c) GBP 1157520 for the Hatfield Colliery production unit of Coalpower Ltd;(d) GBP 1327000 for the Ayrshire Coalfields production unit of LAW Mining Ltd.(6) The Commission has already authorised the United Kingdom to grant operating aid to North East Surface Mines and Central Surface Mines pursuant to Article 3 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC amounting to GBP 703000 and GBP 661000 respectively for the period from 17 April 2000 to 31 December 2000 by Decision 2001/597/ECSC. In accordance with Article 2 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission was of the opinion that the aid which the United Kingdom proposed to grant was intended to improve the economic viability of the production units concerned by reducing their production costs. In accordance with the restructuring plan, the aid should help to make those production units viable enabling them to continue their activities beyond 2002 without the need for public subsidy.(7) The information transmitted by the United Kingdom in its letter of 13 February 2002 confirms the analysis and conclusions in Decision 2001/597/ECSC. The reduction in the production costs of North East Surface Mines and Central Surface Mines will make it possible to achieve economic viability of those mines in 2002. Production costs should be respectively GBP 0.89/GJ and GBP 1,02/GJ in 2002.(8) The Commission has already authorised the United Kingdom to grant operating aid to Hatfield Colliery pursuant to Article 3 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC amounting to GBP 3932000 for the period from 17 April 2000 to 31 December 2000 by Decision 2001/340/ECSC(4) and GBP 3807000 for 2001 by Decision No 2001/683/ECSC(5). In accordance with Article 3(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission was of the opinion that the aid which the United Kingdom proposed to grant was intended to improve the economic viability of the production unit concerned by reducing its production costs.(9) In August 2001, Hatfield Coal Company announced that it had put its Hatfield Colliery into liquidation. In spite of good prospects of a long-term reduction in production costs which had been considered realistic by an independent technical expert and could have guaranteed the future of the production unit, the company was forced to cease its activities following a breaking-off of negotiations with the financial institution which was to provide investment cover. In accordance with the conditions for granting aid set out in the restructuring plan, the United Kingdom authorities therefore requested reimbursement of the aid which had been granted to Hatfield Colliery.(10) On 5 October 2001, the Hatfield Colliery unit was bought out by Coalpower Ltd. The putting of Hatfield Colliery into liquidation as a result of financial difficulties did not call into question the economic viability of the coalfields. Coalpower Ltd therefore drew up a new investment plan for the mine to optimise production. This investment plan and the production plans were evaluated by an independent expert at the request of the United Kingdom authorities. This expert expressed the opinion that once production had been restored to its optimum level, the strategy presented by Coalpower should ensure the economic viability of Hatfield Colliery from 2003. Production costs should be reduced significantly. At 1999 prices, they should fall to GBP [...](6) in 2003, below the level of GBP 1,15/GJ considered to be the economic viability threshold for the coal industry in the United Kingdom.(11) Hatfield Colliery resumed its activities in November 2001. 208 workers were taken on again. 58000 tonnes of coal were extracted in November and December 2001.(12) In October 2001, the United Kingdom authorities paid Coalpower Ltd aid amounting to GBP 951750. This constituted the balance of the aid of GBP 3807000 that the Commission had authorised for Hatfield Colliery for 2001 by Decision 2001/683/ECSC and which had not been paid to Hatfield Coal Company when it went into liquidation.(13) The additional aid of GBP 1157520 that the United Kingdom authorities are asking the Commission to authorise will enable Hatfield Colliery to cover all operating losses for 2001. This sum is necessary given on the one hand the low revenue in 2001 due to the fact that production did not resume until November and on the other the considerable costs involved in restarting production.(14) As regards Ayrshire Coalfields, the aid proposed should also enable that production unit to improve its economic viability by reducing its production costs. According to estimates, production costs should be GBP [...] in 2003, well below the level of GBP 1,15/GJ considered to be the economic viability threshold for the United Kingdom coal industry.III(15) In accordance with Article 3(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the aid which the United Kingdom proposes to grant for 2001 is intended to improve the economic viability of the production units concerned by reducing their production costs.(16) In accordance with the first indent of Article 3(1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the aid per tonne as notified does not exceed, for each production unit, the difference between production costs and foreseeable revenue for 2001.(17) The modernisation, rationalisation and restructuring measures carried out at each production unit, and more specifically the temporary nature of the financial aid necessary for such measures, will moreover allow the aid to be degressive, in accordance with the first indent of Article 2(1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.(18) At the request of the United Kingdom authorities, an independent expert has compiled technical reports examining the potential of modernisation, rationalisation and restructuring measures planned for the various production units to achieve the objective of economic viability. In drawing up his report, the expert took account of the geological and technical operating conditions and the quality of the coal produced by the production units. The reports conclude that the various measures envisaged were consistent and realistic in terms of attaining economic viability.(19) An auditor has certified, for each production unit, that the financial data notified by the United Kingdom are an accurate reflection of the accounts of the company. The auditor has also stated that the forecasts were drawn up using the same accounting standards as were in use before the period covered by the aid.(20) The Commission notes that the aid notified on 13 February 2002, when added to the amounts of aid already authorised by the Commission under the restructuring plan for the United Kingdom coal industry, remains below the ceiling of GBP 170000000 laid down by that restructuring plan.(21) In view of the above and on the basis of the information provided by the United Kingdom, the aid proposed for 2001 for the North East Surface Mines, Central Surface Mines, Hatfield Colliery and Ayrshire Coalfields production units is compatible with Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, and in particular with Articles 2 and 3 thereof.IV(22) The United Kingdom is required to ensure that the aid does not cause any distortion of competition and does not discriminate between coal producers, buyers or consumers in the Community.(23) In accordance with the third indent of Article 3(1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the provisions of Decision 2001/114/ECSC, the United Kingdom will take all measures necessary to ensure that the amount of the aid granted to each production unit does not cause delivered prices for Community coal to be lower than those for coal of a similar quality from third countries.(24) Moreover, in accordance with Article 2(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the aid must be entered in the United Kingdom's national, regional and local public budgets or comply with strictly equivalent mechanisms.(25) In accordance with the second indent of Article 3(1) and with Article 9(2) and (3) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission has to check that the aid authorised is used only for the purposes stipulated in Article 3 of that Decision. At the latest by 30 September 2002, the United Kingdom should notify the amount of aid actually paid for 2001 and declare any changes made to the amounts originally notified. Any information required to ascertain that the criteria laid down in Article 3 of the Decision have been complied with should be provided together with this annual statement.(26) The United Kingdom is required to justify any departures from the restructuring plan and from the economic and financial forecasts notified to the Commission on 13 February 2002. In particular, should it turn out that the conditions laid down in Article 3(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC cannot be met, the United Kingdom is to propose to the Commission the requisite corrective measures,. The United Kingdom is authorised, in the framework of Article 3 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, to grant operating aid of GBP 4055520 to the North East Surface Mines, Central Surface Mines, Hatfield Colliery and Ayrshire Coalfields production units for 2001. The United Kingdom shall ensure that the authorised aid is used only for the purposes declared in its notification of 13 February 2002 and that any expenditure on an item covered by this Decision which is cancelled, overestimated or misused is reimbursed. Without prejudice to the obligations laid down in Article 9(1), (2) and (3) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the United Kingdom shall, by 30 September 2002 at the latest, communicate the amount of aid actually paid for 2001.

However, the liver and kidney are frequently removed from carcases moving in international trade, and maximum residue limits should therefore also always be established for muscle or fat tissues.(5) In the case of veterinary medicinal products intended for use in laying birds, lactating animals or honey bees, maximum residue limits must also be established for eggs, milk or honey.(6) Florfenicol should be inserted into Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90.(7) In order to allow for the completion of scientific studies, the duration of the validity of the provisional maximum residue limits previously defined in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 should be extended for cefalonium, morantel and metamizole.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,.

A special system of assistance to traditional ACP suppliers of bananas is hereby established. This assistance may consist of technical and financial assistance and/of or income support. For the purposes of this Regulation:- 'traditional ACP suppliers` means the ACP States listed in the Annex,- 'bananas` means fresh or dried bananas covered by CN code 0803, excepting plantains.TITLE ITechnical and financial assistance 1. Technical and financial assistance shall be provided to traditional ACP suppliers with a view to helping them adapt to the new market conditions following the establishment of a common organization of the market in bananas.2. This technical and financial assistance shall be provided to contribute to the carrying-out of programmes in the banana sector to achieve one or more of the following objectives:- to improve quality,- to adapt production, distribution or marketing methods to meet the quality standards provided for in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93,- to establish producers' organizations which have as an objective the improvement of the marketing and competitiveness of their products,- to develop a production and/or marketing strategy to meet the requirements of the market in the Community in the light of the common organization of the market in bananas,- to assist with training, market intelligence, the development of environmentally sound production methods, improving the distribution infrastructure, improving trade and financial services to banana producers and/or improving competitiveness.3. Assistance may be given to programmes having similar objectives which are currently financed under the fourth ACP-EC Convention or by the public authorities of the Member States parties to that Convention where such assistance would result in more rapid completion of the programme. The Commission shall decide on the eligibility of the programme and the level of assistance after consultation with the traditional ACP supplier concerned. It shall also take into account the consistency of the envisaged programme with the general development objectives of the ACP State concerned and its impact on regional cooperation with other banana producers, in particular the Community producers.TITLE IIIncome support 1. Within the limits indicated in Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, traditional ACP suppliers shall be eligible for income support.2. Income support shall be paid where the reduction in income derived from the exportation to the Community of bananas complying with the common standards is directly related to conditions prevailing on the market subsequent to the establishment of the common organization of the market in bananas. 1. Income support shall be individually calculated for each traditional ACP supplier on the basis of the quantities exported to the Community during the year of application and the difference between the reference price and the actual price.2. The reference price shall be the average price per tonne of bananas produced in the ACP State concerned and exported to the Community during the six calendar years preceding the entry into force of this Regulation, less the two years with the highest and the lowest figures.The actual price shall be the average price per tonne of bananas produced in the ACP State concerned and exported to the Community during the envisaged year of application.3. The statistics needed for the calculation of income support shall be those drawn up and published on Community imports by the Statistical Office of the European Communities.4. Before 1 July of each year, the Commission shall determine the income support for the previous year after consultation with the ACP-State concerned.TITLE IIIGeneral provisions 1. Financial commitments under Title I shall be in addition to any funds available to ACP States under the provisions of the fourth ACP-EC Convention.2. Financial commitments made under Title II shall be complementary to funds available under the system guaranteeing the stabilization of export earnings provided for in Articles 186 et seq. of the fourth ACP-EC Convention. Title II therefore only entitles to payments of income support in as far as transfers, made for identical quantities in accordance with Articles 186 et seq. of the fourth ACP-EC Convention, do not entirely offset the effects of price decreases on the income of traditional ACP suppliers.3. Payments of income support shall be used, in accordance with a framework of mutual obligations to be agreed between the traditional ACP supplier concerned and the Commission in each case, for the benefit of producers adversely affected by the loss of income and be used to enhance the economic viability of production.4. (a) Where application of Title II gives rise to a transfer basis, the ACP State concerned shall, in the month following receipt of the notification referred to in Article 6 (4), send the Commission a substantial analysis of the sector recording the loss of earnings, the cause of the loss, the policies pursued by the authorities and the projects, programmes or operations to which the resources are to be allocated in accordance with the objectives set out in paragraph 3 hereof,(b) Projects, programmes or operations to which the recipient ACP States undertake to allocate the transferred resources shall be examined jointly by the Commission and the ACP State concerned.(c) Resources shall be used to support immediate operations to sustain the economic viability of production, or adjustment operations designed to restructure production and export activities, within the framework of any consistent reform policy in the banana sector. 1. The granting of assistance as defined Article 1 shall be subject to the designation by the ACP State concerned of a representative organization entitled to act and to receive payments on its behalf within the framework of this Regulation.2. The representative organizations shall present the following characteristics:(a) be composed entirely or mainly or producers of bananas in one or more traditional ACP suppliers;(b) pursue at least two of the following objectives:- improvement of the quality of the produce,- improvement of the quality of the distribution and marketing network,- improvement of the returns to producers,- improvement of the role of producers in the organization of the banana market.3. The representative organization designated in accordance with paragraph 2 must be notified to the Commission. As far as necessary, detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be determined by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 10. 0The Commission shall be assisted by a committee of an advisory nature composed of the representatives of the Member States and chaired by the representatives of the Commission.The representative of the Commission shall submit to the committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft, within a time limit which the chairman may lay down according to the urgency of the matter, if necessary by taking a vote.The opinion shall be recorded in the minutes; in addition, each Member State shall have the right to ask to have its position recorded in the minutes.The Commission shall take the utmost account of the opinion delivered by the committee. It shall inform the committee of the manner in which its opinion has been taken into account. 1This 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 29 February 1996.

In cases where, after an appropriate risk assessment of concrete procedures and formalities, a high level of security or equivalence to a handwritten signature is deemed to be necessary, advanced electronic signatures based on a qualified certificate, with or without a secure signature creation device, could be required from service providers for certain procedures and formalities.(4) The Community framework for e-signatures was established in Directive 1999/93/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 1999 on a Community framework for electronic signatures (2). In order to facilitate effective cross-border use of advanced electronic signatures based on a qualified certificate, trust in these electronic signatures should be enhanced irrespective of the Member State in which the signatory or the certification service provider issuing the qualified certificate is established. This could be achieved by making the information necessary to validate the electronic signatures more easily available in a trustworthy form, in particular information relating to certification service providers who are supervised/accredited in a Member State and to the services they offer.(5) It is necessary to ensure that Member States make this information publicly available through a common template in order to facilitate its use and ensure an appropriate level of detail allowing the receiving side to validate the electronic signature,. Use and acceptance of electronic signatures1.   If justified on the basis of an appropriate assessment of the risks involved and in accordance with Article 5(1) and (3) of Directive 2006/123/EC, Member States may require, for the completion of certain procedures and formalities through the points of single contact under Article 8 of Directive 2006/123/EC, the use by the service provider of advanced electronic signatures based on a qualified certificate, with or without a secure-signature-creation device, as defined and governed by Directive 1999/93/EC.2.   Member States shall accept any advanced electronic signature based on a qualified certificate, with or without a secure-signature-creation device, for the completion of the procedures and formalities referred to in paragraph 1, without prejudice to the possibility for Member States to limit this acceptance to advanced electronic signatures based on a qualified certificate and created by a secure-signature-creation device if this is in accordance with the risk assessment referred to in paragraph 1.3.   Member States shall not make the acceptance of advanced electronic signatures based on a qualified certificate, with or without a secure-signature-creation device, subject to requirements which create obstacles to the use, by service providers, of procedures by electronic means through the points of single contact.4.   Paragraph 2 does not prevent Member States from accepting electronic signatures other than advanced electronic signatures based on a qualified certificate, with or without a secure-signature-creation device. Establishment, maintenance and publication of trusted lists1.   Each Member State shall establish, maintain and publish, in accordance with the technical specifications set out in the Annex, a ‘trusted list’ containing the minimum information related to the certification service providers issuing qualified certificates to the public who are supervised/accredited by them.2.   Member States shall establish and publish, as a minimum, a human readable form of the trusted list in accordance with the specifications set out in the Annex.3.   Member States shall notify to the Commission the body responsible for the establishment, maintenance and publication of the trusted list, the location where the trusted list is published and any changes thereto.

(the pine wood nematode) as regards areas in Portugal, other than those in which it is known not to occur (notified under document number C(2006) 345). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Where a Member State considers that there is an imminent danger of the introduction into its territory of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al. (the pine wood nematode (PWN)), from another Member State, it should be authorised to temporarily take any additional measures necessary to protect itself from that danger.(2) Portugal informed the other Member States and the Commission on 25 June 1999 that some samples of pine trees originating in its territory were identified as infested by PWN. The Commission has adopted Decisions 2000/58/EC (2) and 2001/218/EC (3) defining measures to be taken against PWN.(3) On the basis of assessments by the Food and Veterinary Office, most recently in November 2004, additional information submitted by Portugal and official surveys carried out by the other Member States on wood, isolated bark and plants of Abies Mill., Cedrus Trew, Larix Mill., Picea A. Dietr., Pinus L., Pseudotsuga Carr. and Tsuga Carr., it appears that as a result of the application of an eradication programme in Portugal, the spread of PWN remains limited to the demarcated areas in Portugal. However, trees showing symptoms of infestation by PWN were still found during surveys of those areas.(4) The implementation of the Portuguese mid-term eradication plan for PWN of February 2003, as amended in June 2003, was evaluated by the Standing Committee on Plant Health in its meetings of July 2004 and May 2005. During the latter meeting it was concluded that the aimed reduction of infection level in the demarcated zone had not been fully achieved so far.(5) It is therefore necessary for Portugal to continue to take specific measures with respect to movements of wood, isolated bark and host plants within demarcated areas in Portugal and from such areas into other areas of Portugal and into the other Member States.(6) It is also necessary that Portugal continues to take measures to control the spread of PWN with the aim of eradication. Therefore, an updated mid-term eradication plan to better control the spread of PWN with the aim of eradicating should be presented.(7) The other Member States should continue to have the possibility to apply additional measures to protect their territories from PWN.(8) The results of the specific measures and of the implementation of the mid-term plan should be assessed continuously, in particular on the basis of information to be provided by Portugal and the other Member States.(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,. For the purposes of this Decision, the following definitions shall apply:(a) ‘the pine wood nematode (PWN)’: Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al.;(b) ‘susceptible wood and bark’: wood and isolated bark of conifers (Coniferales), except that of Thuja L.;(c) ‘susceptible plants’: plants (other than fruit and seeds) of Abies Mill., Cedrus Trew, Larix Mill., Picea A. Dietr., Pinus L., Pseudotsuga Carr. and Tsuga Carr. Until 31 March 2008, Portugal shall ensure that the conditions laid down in the Annex to this Decision are met in relation to susceptible wood, bark and plants, which are to be moved within or from demarcated areas in Portugal and defined as in accordance with Article 5, either to other areas in Portugal or to other Member States.By 15 February 2006, Portugal shall present an updated mid-term eradication plan to control the spread of PWN with the aim of eradicating it. That plan shall include details on the management, within the demarcated area, of tree species known to be highly susceptible to PWN under the conditions in Portugal. This plan shall be reviewed by 30 April 2007 and 30 March 2008. Member States of destination other than Portugal may:(a) subject consignments of susceptible wood, bark and plants, coming from demarcated areas in Portugal and moved into their territory, to testing for the presence of PWN;(b) take further appropriate steps to carry out official monitoring in respect of such consignments, to ascertain whether they comply with the relevant conditions specified in the Annex. Member States shall conduct official annual surveys for PWN, on susceptible wood and bark and susceptible plants originating in their country, to determine whether there is any evidence of infestation by PWN.Without prejudice to Article 16(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC, the results of such surveys shall be notified to the other Member States and the Commission by 15 December 2006 and 15 December 2007. Portugal shall establish areas in which PWN is known not to occur, and demarcate areas (hereinafter called demarcated areas) comprised of a part in which PWN is known to occur and a part designated as buffer zone of not less than 20 km width surrounding that part, taking into account the results of the surveys referred to in Article 4.The Commission shall compile a list of ‘areas’ in which PWN is known not to occur and convey such a list to the Standing Committee on Plant Health and to the Member States. Any areas in Portugal not comprised in the above compiled list, shall be deemed to be demarcated areas.That list shall be updated according to the results of the surveys referred to in the first paragraph of Article 4 and to the findings notified under Article 16(1) of Directive 2000/29/EC.

These imports increased from zero tonnes in 1996 to more than 53000 tonnes in 1999. The products concerned are imported into the Community free of import duties and are allowed in with no limit on quantity in accordance with Article 10(1) of the OCT Decision.(2) By Decision of 25 February 2000 extending Decision 91/482/EEC on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community, the Council extended the period of application of the OCT Decision by one year to 28 February 2001. By Decision 2001/161/EC, the Council again extended the period of application of Decision 91/482/EEC by a further period ending on 1 December 2001.(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 396/2001 of 27 February 2001 providing for the continued application of safeguard measures for imports from the overseas countries and territories of sugar sector products with EC/OCT cumulation of origin for the period 1 March to 30 June 2001(3) limits EC/OCT originating status for the products referred to in recital 1 to a maximum of 3878 tonnes of sugar for the period 1 March to 30 June 2001.(4) In the past few years difficulties have arisen on the Community sugar market. That market is in surplus. Sugar consumption is constant. For the 2000/01 marketing year, it stands at around 12,85 million tonnes. In accordance with the basic Regulation, production under quota is around 14,2 million tonnes a year (in 2000/01 it stood at around 13,88 million tonnes). Any imports of sugar into the Community therefore generate a need to export a corresponding quantity of Community sugar that cannot be disposed of on that market. Refunds on that sugar - within certain quotas - are charged to the Community budget (at around EUR 430/tonne during 2000/01). However, exports on which refunds are payable are limited in quantity under the Agreement on Agriculture concluded as part of the Uruguay Round(4) and have been reduced from 1555600 tonnes for the 1995/96 marketing year to 1273500 tonnes from 2000/01, which gives total refunds of EUR 499,1 million.(5) The operation of the common organisation of the market in sugar may be greatly destabilised by these difficulties. For the 2000/01 marketing year, the Commission reduced Community producers' quotas by 498800 tonnes(5). This measure has already brought about a reduction in areas under sugar-beet. A further substantial reduction cannot be ruled out for the 2001/02 marketing year. Under the reform of the common organisation of the markets (COM) for sugar(6), the Council has reduced the Community production quota by 115000 tonnes. Any further imports of sugar or products with a high sugar content from the OCT will call for a greater reduction in the quota for Community producers and will accordingly entail a greater loss of income for them.(6) As a result of these continuing difficulties, there is a risk that a sector of Community activity will deteriorate. On 12 June 2001 the Commission therefore decided to continue to apply the safeguard clause provided for in Article 109 of the OCT Decision in respect of imports from the OCT of certain sugar sector products with EC/OCT originating status.(7) Article 100 of the OCT Decision states that its object is to promote trade between the OCT and the Community, taking account of their respective levels of development. In accordance with Article 109(2) of that Decision, priority must be given to such measures as would least disturb the functioning of the association and the Community. Furthermore, such measures must not exceed the limits of what is strictly necessary to remedy the difficulties that have arisen.(8) To that end, for the period 1 July to 1 December 2001 EC/OCT originating status for products covered by CN codes 1701, 1806 10 30 and 1806 10 90 should be restricted to a maximum of 4848 tonnes of sugar, which figure represents the sum of the highest quantities of imports of the products in question recorded annually in the three years preceding 1999, the year when imports soared. For the purposes of determining the quantities of sugar concerned, the Commission notes the position adopted by the President of the Court of First Instance in his rulings of 12 July and 8 August 2000 in Cases T-94/00R, T-110/00R and T-159/00R(7), without, however, recognising it as justified. Consequently, in order to avoid unnecessary procedures and for the sole purpose of adopting these safeguard measures, for sugar covered by CN code 1701 and for 1997, the Commission is basing itself on the figure of 10372,2 tonnes, i.e. total imports from the OCT of sugar with EC/OCT and ACP/OCT originating status recorded by Eurostat.(9) Safeguard measures should also be introduced for products covered by CN codes 1806 10 30 and 1806 10 90 in view of their high sugar content and their prejudicial effects on the COM for sugar, which are similar to those of unprocessed sugar. Those measures should ensure that imported OCT-originating sugar-based products do not exceed a quantity that could disturb the COM for sugar, while at the same time guaranteeing them a commercial outlet.(10) As part of the review of the OCT Decision, the Commission made a proposal to the Council to abolish the rules allowing cumulation of originating status in the sugar sector.(11) The specific checks on imported goods covered by the measures laid down in this Regulation and the checks applicable in trade with third countries established under the Community rules on release for free circulation and customs value laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code(8), as last amended by European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 2700/2000(9), should ensure compliance with the provisions of this Regulation. In order to ensure proper management, avoid speculation and permit effective controls on products covered by CN codes 1701, 1806 10 30 and 1806 10 90, detailed rules should be laid down on the lodging of licence applications. For products with EC/OCT originating status, applications must in particular include proof that the applicant normally carries on business in the sugar sector, a declaration that no other applications have been lodged by that person and proof that a special security has been lodged to ensure performance of the undertakings arising from the licences. In order to create minimal disturbance for operators and at their request, the term of validity of licences should be extended beyond that provided for under the current safeguard measures.(12) In view of the impact of the imports, the safeguard measures should apply with immediate effect,. Article IFor products covered by CN codes 1701, 1806 10 30 and 1806 10 90, cumulation of EC/OCT originating status as referred to in Article 6 of Annex II to Decision 91/482/EEC shall be permitted for a quantity of 4848 tonnes of sugar during the period of application of this Regulation.Compliance with that limit shall be ascertained on the basis of the sugar content of imported products other than unprocessed sugar. 1. Imports of the products referred to in Article 1 shall be subject to the issue of an import licence in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000(10) laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products.2. Articles 2 to 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2553/97(11) on rules for issuing import licences for certain products covered by CN codes 1701, 1702, 1703 and 1704 and qualifying as ACP/OCT originating products shall apply mutatis mutandis.However:- licences shall bear the serial number 53.0001,- licence applications may be for a maximum of 4848 tonnes,- Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2553/97 shall not apply,- applications shall be lodged with the competent authorities in the first five working days of each month, with the exception of July 2001, when applications shall be lodged by 15 July 2001 at the latest,- the single reducing coefficient shall be applied and the lodging of new applications suspended where the quantity covered by applications for import licences exceeds 4848 tonnes during the period of application of this Regulation,- the term of validity of import licences shall expire on the final day of the fourth month following their issue.3. On completion of the formalities for release for free circulation in the customs territory of the Community, operators shall present the customs authorities of the Member States with a copy of the export licence issued in accordance with Article 13 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999(12) on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector for the sugar used in those products.

Such zones were defined in Commission Directive 92/76/EEC of 6 October 1992, recognising protected zones exposed to particular plant health risks in the Community(2) as last amended by Directive 2000/23/EC(3).(2) Since then, there have been significant developments in the plant health status of some of these zones initially recognised as protected zones in respect of the relevant harmful organisms.(3) From information supplied by Denmark it appears that it is no longer appropriate to maintain the protected zone recognised for Denmark in respect of Bemisia tabaci Genn. (European populations) and tomato spotted wilt virus.(4) Certain provisions on protective measures in Portugal against Gonipterus scutellatus Gyll. and in the United Kingdom and in Ireland against Pissodes spp. (European) should be modified to take into account the present distribution of these organisms in the respective countries.(5) From information supplied by United Kingdom and Sweden it appears that following local government reorganisation, the current description of the respective protected zones in respect of Dendroctonus micans Kugelan and Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say should be modified.(6) Under Directive 92/76/EEC, Austria, Ireland and the regions of Apulia, Emilia-Romagna, Lombardia and Veneto in Italy were provisionally recognised as protected zone in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. for a period expiring on 31 March 2001.(7) From information supplied by Ireland it appears that the provisional recognition of the protected zones for Ireland in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. should be extended for a further limited period.(8) From information supplied by Austria and Italy it appears that some areas within Austria and Italy should not longer be recognised as protected zones in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al., whilst other areas should be recognised as protected zones in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. for a further limited period.(9) From information supplied by France it appears that some areas within France should not longer be recognised as protected zones in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al.(10) From information supplied by United Kingdom it appears that the provisional recognition of the protected zone for United Kingdom in respect of beet necrotic yellow vein virus should be extended for a further limited period.(11) It is therefore necessary to modify the existing designation of protected zones. In the interest of clarity, a new list of such zones should be adopted. Directive 92/76/EEC should therefore be repealed. In view of the continuing plant health problems, this Directive should enter into force and be transposed as soon as possible.(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,. The zones in the Community listed in the Annex are hereby recognised as ""protected zones"" referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 2(1)(h) of Directive 2000/29/EC, in respect of the harmful organism(s) listed against their names in the Annex.In the case of point 2 of (b), for Ireland, for Italy (Emilia-Romagna: provinces of Forlí-Cesena, Parma, Piacenza and Rimini; Lombardia; Trentino-Alto Adige: autonomous province of Bolzano; Veneto), and for Austria (Burgenland, Kärnten, Niederösterreich, Osttirol, Steiermark, Wien), the said zones are recognised until 31 March 2002.In the case of point 1 of (d), the said zone in United Kingdom is recognised until 31 March 2002. The extension of the recognition beyond the dates referred to in Article 1, and any amendment to the list of protected zones referred to in Article 1, shall be made in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 of Directive 2000/29/EC, taking into account the results of appropriate surveys based on Community conditions and monitored by Commission experts. 1.

In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve this objective.(8) A uniform format for FTD and FRTD is established in Regulation (EC) No 694/2003(3).(9) The Common Consular Instructions(4) and the Common Manual(5) should be amended accordingly.(10) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Regulation, and is not bound by it or subject to its application. Given that this Regulation builds upon the Schengen acquis under the provisions of Title IV of Part Three of the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark shall, in accordance with Article 5 of the said Protocol, decide within a period of six months after the Council has adopted this Regulation whether it will implement it in its national law.(11) As regards Iceland and Norway, this Regulation constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis(6), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1(B) of Council Decision 1999/437/EC of 17 May 1999 on certain arrangements for the application of that Agreement(7).(12) This Regulation constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis in which the United Kingdom does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2000/365/EC of 29 May 2000 concerning the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis(8); the United Kingdom is therefore not taking part in its adoption and is not bound by it or subject to its application.(13) This Regulation constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis in which Ireland does not take part, in accordance with Council Decision 2002/192/EC of 28 February 2002 concerning Ireland's request to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis(9); Ireland is therefore not taking part in its adoption and is not bound by it or subject to its application.(14) This Regulation constitutes an act building on the Schengen acquis or otherwise related to it within the meaning of Article 3(2) of the Act of Accession and will therefore only become applicable after the lifting of the internal border controls,. CHAPTER IGENERAL PROVISIONS Definition1. This Regulation establishes a Facilitated Transit Document (FTD) and a Facilitated Rail Transit Document (FRTD) for the purpose of facilitated transit.2. Facilitated transit shall mean the specific and direct transit by land of a third country national who must necessarily cross the territory of one or several Member States in order to travel between two parts of his own country which are not geographically contiguous. Specific authorisation (FTD/FRTD)1. The FTD is a specific authorisation allowing for a facilitated transit, which may be issued by Member States for multiple entries by whatever means of land transport.2. The FRTD is a specific authorisation allowing for facilitated transit, which may be issued by Member States for a single entry and return by rail.3. The FTD/FRTD shall be issued in the form of uniform formats in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 694/2003. Scope and validity1. The FTD and the FRTD have the same value as transit visas and are territorially valid for the issuing Member State and other Member States through which the facilitated transit takes place.2. The FTD shall be valid for a maximum period of up to three years. A transit based on the FTD shall not exceed 24 hours.3. The FRTD shall be valid for a maximum period of up to three months. A transit based on the FRTD shall not exceed six hours.CHAPTER IIISSUING AN FTD/FRTD ConditionsIn order to obtain an FTD/FRTD, the applicant shall:(a) possess a valid document, authorising him to cross external borders as defined pursuant to Article 17(3)(a) of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement of 14 June 1985, signed at Schengen on 19 June 1990(10);(b) not be a person for whom an alert has been issued for the purposes of refusing entry;(c) not be considered to be a threat to public policy, national security or the international relations of any of the Member States. However, in relation to the FRTD, prior consultation in accordance with Article 17(2) of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement shall not apply;(d) for the FTD, have valid reasons for frequent travelling between the two parts of the territory of his country. Application procedure1. The application for an FTD shall be presented to the consular authorities of a Member State which has communicated its decision to issue the FTD/FRTD in accordance with Article 12. If more than one Member State has communicated its decision to issue the FTD, the application shall be submitted to the consular authorities of the Member State of the first entry. This procedure shall provide for the submission when appropriate of documentation demonstrating the need for frequent travel, in particular documents concerning family links or social, economic or other motives.2. In the case of an FRTD, a Member State may, as a rule, accept applications transmitted via other authorities or third parties.3. The application for an FTD shall be presented on the standard form as set out in Annex I.4. The personal data for an FRTD shall be supplied on the basis of the Personal Data Sheet set out in Annex II. This Personal Data Sheet may be filled in on board the train before the affixing of the FRTD, and in any event before the entry into the territory of the Member State through which the train passes, on condition that the basic personal data, as set out in Annex II, are transmitted electronically to the authorities of the competent Member State at the moment when the request to purchase the railway ticket is made. Issuing procedure1. The FTD/FRTD shall be issued by the consular offices of the Member State and shall not be issued at the border. The decision on issuing the FRTD shall be taken by the competent consular authorities at the latest 24 hours after the electronic transmission provided for in Article 5(4).2. No FTD/FRTD shall be affixed in a travel document that has expired.3. The period of validity of the travel document in which the FTD/FRTD is affixed shall be longer than that of the FTD/FRTD.4. No FTD/FRTD shall be affixed in a travel document if that travel document is not valid for any of the Member States. In this case it shall be affixed by the consular offices on the uniform format for forms for affixing the visa in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 333/2002(11). If a travel document is only valid for one Member State or for a number of Member States, the FTD/FRTD shall be limited to the Member State or Member States in question. Administrative costs of an FTD/FRTD1. The fee corresponding to the administrative costs of processing the application for an FTD shall be EUR 5.2. The FRTD shall be issued free of charge.CHAPTER IIICOMMON PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE FTD/FRTD Refusal1. The procedures, and appeal in cases where the consular post refuses to examine an application or issue an FTD/FRTD shall be governed by national law of the respective Member States.2. If an FTD/FRTD is refused and national law requires the grounds for such a refusal to be given, the reason shall be communicated to the applicant. PenaltiesPenalties, as provided for in national law, should be imposed on the holder of the FTD/FRTD in case of misuse of the scheme.Such penalties shall be effective, proportionate and dissuasive, and shall include the possibility of cancelling or revoking the FTD/FRTD.CHAPTER IVFINAL PROVISIONS 0Subject to the specific rules set out in this Regulation, the provisions of the Schengen acquis relating to visas shall also apply to the FTD/FRTD. 11. The Common Consular Instructions are hereby amended as follows:(a) The following point shall be added to part I:""2.5.

The emergence of that disease presented a serious risk to the Community’s livestock population.(2) In order to prevent the spread of the disease and to help eradicate it as quickly as possible, the Community should contribute financially towards the eligible expenditure incurred by the Member State under the emergency measures taken to combat the disease, as provided for in Decision 90/424/EEC.(3) Commission Decision 2007/272/EC of 25 April 2007 on a financial contribution from the Community towards emergency measures taken to combat avian influenza in the United Kingdom in 2006 (2) granted a financial contribution at the rate of 50 % of the expenditure eligible for Community funding for the implementation of the measures taken to combat this outbreak.(4) Pursuant to that Decision, the Community financial contribution is to be paid on the basis of the request submitted by the United Kingdom on 18 May 2007 and supporting documents referred to in Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (3).(5) In view of those considerations, the total amount of the Community’s financial contribution to the eligible expenditure incurred associated with the eradication of avian influenza in the United Kingdom in 2006 should now be fixed.(6) The results of the inspections carried out by the Commission in compliance with the Community veterinary rules and the conditions for granting Community financial contributions mean the entire amount of the expenditure submitted cannot be recognised as eligible for a Community financial contribution.(7) The Commission’s observations, method of calculating the eligible expenditure and final conclusions were communicated to the United Kingdom in a letter dated 5 October 2007.(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. The total Community financial contribution towards the expenditure associated with eradicating avian influenza in the United Kingdom in 2006 pursuant to Decision 2007/272/EC is fixed at EUR 385 363,67.

This will have a significant impact on the number of tests to be performed under their programmes for the monitoring of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE), and for the eradication of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and of scrapie approved for the year 2013 and significantly reduce the related funding needs.(5) Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Spain, France, Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Austria, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom have submitted to the Commission for approval amended programmes for the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE), bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and scrapie in relation to that amendment to Decision 2009/719/EC.(6) In addition, Hungary has submitted an amended programme for the eradication and monitoring of bluetongue modifying its activities in relation to the implementation of entomological surveillance.(7) Following the detection of the Bluetongue virus serotype 1 circulating in certain areas of its territory, Spain has submitted an amended programme for the eradication and monitoring of bluetongue to include compulsory vaccination in those areas in order to control that disease and prevent its spread.(8) Greece has submitted an amended programme for the eradication of rabies to define the areas where oral vaccination will be applied, following the discovery of rabies cases in its territory.(9) Following the recent conclusion of bilateral negotiations with Belarus on rabies cooperation, Poland has submitted an amended programme for the eradication control and monitoring of rabies to include oral vaccination activities in certain bordering areas in the territory of that third country, in order to protect the Union from the reintroduction of rabies through the movement of infected wild animals across the common borders.(10) The Commission has assessed those amended programmes from both a veterinary and a financial point of view. They were found to comply with relevant Union veterinary legislation and in particular with the criteria set out in Decision 2008/341/EC. The amended programmes should therefore be approved.(11) The approval by this Decision of the amended programmes has an impact on the amounts needed for carrying out the eradication, control and monitoring programmes approved by Implementing Decision 2012/761/EU. The maximum amount of the Union financial contribution for certain of those programmes should therefore be adjusted accordingly.(12) Implementing Decision 2012/761/EU 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,.

Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 is due to lapse on 31 December 2008 but will be replaced as of 1 January 2009 by Council Regulation (EC) No 732/2008 (4), which confirms the granting by the Community of the said tariff preferences to Laos.(2) Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 establishes the definition of the concept of originating products to be used for the purposes of the scheme of generalised tariff preferences. Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 also provides for a derogation from that definition in favour of least-developed beneficiary countries benefiting from the generalised system of preferences (GSP) which submit an appropriate request to that effect to the Community.(3) Laos has benefited from such a derogation for certain textile products under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1613/2000 (5), which has been prolonged several times, and is due to expire on 31 December 2008.(4) By letter dated 9 October 2008 Laos submitted a request for prolongation of the derogation in accordance with Article 76 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.(5) When the validity of Regulation (EC) No 1613/2000 was last extended, by virtue of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1806/2006 (6), it was expected that new, simpler and more development-friendly GSP rules of origin would be applicable before expiry of the derogation. However new GSP rules of origin have not yet been adopted and it is now expected that such rules of origin will not be in place before the end of 2009.(6) The request demonstrates that the application of the rules of origin on sufficient working or processing and regional cumulation would affect significantly the ability of the Lao garment industry to continue its exports to the Community and deter investment. This would lead to further business closures and unemployment in that country. Furthermore, it seems that application of the GSP rules of origin currently applicable for even a short period would be liable to have the effect described.(7) The period of prolongation of the derogation should cover the time necessary to adopt and implement new GSP rules of origin. Since the conclusion of longer-term contracts benefiting from the derogation is of particular importance to the stability and growth of Lao industry, the prolongation granted should be sufficiently long to permit the economic operators to conclude such contracts.(8) As a consequence of the application of the future new rules of origin, the Lao products which are currently eligible for preferential tariff treatment only through application of the derogation should in future be able to qualify through application of the new rules of origin. The derogation will at that moment become superfluous. In order to ensure clarity for operators, it will therefore be necessary to repeal Regulation (EC) No 1613/2000 with effect from the date on which the new rules of origin apply.(9) The derogation should therefore be prolonged until the date of application of the new rules of origin to be laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, but in any event it should cease to apply on 31 December 2010.(10) Regulation (EC) No 1613/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,. Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1613/2000 is replaced by the following text:‘Article 2The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to products transported directly from Laos and imported into the Community up to the annual quantities listed in the Annex against each product during the period from 15 July 2000 until the date of application of an amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 in respect of the definition of the concept of originating products used for the purposes of the scheme of generalised preferences, but in any event that derogation shall cease to apply on 31 December 2010.’ This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from 1 January 2009.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

The Commission, in accordance with Article 21(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, asked the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘the Authority’, for scientific and technical assistance to assess this new information and to review the risk assessment of fipronil as regards its impact on bees.(5) The Authority presented its conclusion on the risk assessment of fipronil as regards bees on 27 May 2013 (6).(6) The Authority identified for the use as seed treatment in maize, high acute risks for bees from plant protection products containing the active substance fipronil. The Authority identified, in particular, a high acute risk for bees resulting from dust. In addition, unacceptable risks due to acute or chronic effects on colony survival and development could not be excluded for several crops. Furthermore, the Authority identified some missing information for each of the evaluated uses, in particular as regards long term risk to honeybees from dust exposure, from potential exposure to residues in pollen and nectar, from potential exposure to guttation fluid and from exposure to residues in succeding crops, weeds and soil.(7) In the light of the new scientific and technical knowledge, the Commission considered that there are indications that some approved uses of fipronil do not satisfy the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 with respect to the impact on bees and that the high risk for bees could not be excluded except by imposing further restrictions.(8) The Commission invited the notifier to submit comments.(9) The conclusion of the Authority was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 16 July 2013 in the format of an addendum to the review report for fipronil.(10) The Commission has come to the conclusion that a high risk for bees cannot be excluded except by imposing further restrictions.(11) It is confirmed that the active substance fipronil is deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. In order to minimise the exposure of bees, it is, however, appropriate to restrict the use of plant protection products containing fipronil and to provide for specific risk mitigation measures for the protection of bees. In particular the use of plant protection products containing fipronil should be limited to the treatment of seeds intended to be sown in greenhouses and to the treatment of seeds of leek, onions, shallots and the group of Brassica vegetables intended to be sown in fields and harvested before flowering. Crops which are harvested before flowering are not considered attractive to bees.(12) Concerning applications of fipronil which may be authorised under Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011, it is appropriate to require further confirmatory information.(13) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.(14) Risks for bees from treated seeds have been identified in particular from exposure via dust as regards the use in maize. Taking into consideration the risks linked with the use of treated seeds, the use and the placing on the market of seeds treated with plant protection products containing fipronil should be prohibited except for seeds sown in greenhouses and for treatment of seeds of leek, onions, shallots and the group of Brassica vegetables sown in fields and harvested before flowering. Pending submission of missing information regarding the use of treated sunflower seeds, it is appropriate to apply similar measures as for maize.(15) Member States should be provided with time to withdraw authorisations for plant protection products containing fipronil.(16) For plant protection products containing fipronil, where Member States grant any period of grace in accordance with Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, this period should expire on 28 February 2014 at the latest. Accordingly, the prohibition of placing on the market of treated seeds should apply as of 1 March 2014 in order to allow for a period of transition.(17) Within two years from the date of entry into force of the present Regulation the Commission will initiate a review of the new scientific information, including new studies, information on new product formulations provided by the applicants, which it has received.(18) Article 36(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 provides that Member States may, under certain circumstances, impose further risk mitigation measures or restrictions to the placing on the market or use of the plant protection products containing fipronil. Concerning the placing on the market and use of the seeds treated with plant protection products containing fipronil, Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 provides for the possibility of Member States to take emergency measures pursuant to Article 71 thereof.(19) Seeds treated with plant protection products containing fipronil, which are subject to the restrictions referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, may be used for experiments or tests for research or development purposes pursuant to Article 54 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.(20) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Amendment to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. Prohibition of placing on the market of treated seedsSeeds of crops which have been treated with plant protection products containing fipronil shall not be used or placed on the market with the exception of seeds intended to be sown in greenhouses and seeds of leek, onions, shallots, and the group of Brassica vegetables intended to be sown in fields and harvested before flowering. Transitional measuresMember States shall, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, where necessary amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing fipronil as active substance by 31 December 2013.

The group's main activities focus on the manufacture and installation of surface and aerial cableways, funicular railways, urban transit systems, elevators, mechanical garaging systems and stacker cranes for high-rise warehouses. According to the Austrian authorities, the group's turnover amounts to ATS 2,5 billion (ECU 180,5 million) and its balance sheet total comes to ATS 1,6 billion (ECU 115,5 million). The group employs 950 people.The ropeways business area is the group's most important one in terms of number of employees and turnover. LiftgmbH is part of this business area. It has set up a Chinese subsidiary, SanHe Doppelmayr Transport Systems Co. Ltd, and invested ATS 54,1 million (ECU 3,9 million) in a small-scale production plant in SanHe, Hebei Region.The subsidiary produces fixed-grip chairlifts for the Chinese market. In 1997 it made three lifts with 20 employees. In the medium term it plans to make 15 lifts a year with 50 employees.Austria proposes to grant LiftgmbH a soft loan of ATS 25 million (ECU 1,8 million), the grant equivalent of which is ATS 1,8 million (ECU130500)(1). The loan's duration is eight years, a two-year grace period being followed by a six-year-long half yearly repayment scheme; the loan bears an interest rate of 3,5 % for the first two years, 4 % for the next three years and 6,25 % for the last three years. The aid intensity of this amount is 3,2 % gross. The aid is to be disbursed under the ERP internationalisation scheme. In its Decision 97/240/EC(2) the Commission approved the scheme subject to aid being granted only for direct foreign investment by SMEs and to any aid for large enterprises being notified individually.IISince, according to the independence criterion set out in Commission Recommendation 96/280/EC concerning the definition of small and medium-sized enterprises(3), LiftgmbH is a large enterprise, Austria notified the aid proposal to the Commission by letter dated 23 January 1997. The Commission requested additional information by letter dated 24 February 1997, and this was furnished by Austria by letters received on 12 and 18 June 1997. The Commission requested yet more information by letter dated 28 July 1997. Following a reminder dated 30 September 1997, Austria sent the information by letter received on 10 October 1997.On 2 December 1997 the Commission decided to initiate proceedings in this case, and Austria was informed accordingly by letter dated 16 December 1997. Austria submitted its comments by letter dated 8 May 1998. The notice informing the Austrian Government of the Commission's decision and inviting interested parties to submit observations on the measure in question was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(4). No observations from third parties were forthcoming.IIIThe key factor in deciding to initiate proceedings in this case was the conclusion that the ATS 25 million (ECU 1,8 million) soft loan from the ERP Fund for a direct foreign investment by LiftgmbH in China constituted State aid within the meaning of Article 92(1) of the EC Treaty and Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.Doppelmayr, which is headquartered in Wolfurth, Vorarlberg, is a global player in the ropeways market with a market share in Europe of approximately 20 %. Its main competitors are the Swiss firm Garaventa AG, the Italian firm Leitner and the French firm Pomagalski SA. These four firms together hold a market share in the European market of almost 90 %. They also dominate the world market. In terms of volume of sales, however, the European market remains the largest regional market.The aid planned by Austria is of such a character as to strengthen the financial and strategic position of the recipient enterprise as a whole. The Austrian authorities stated inter alia that Doppelmayr could increase the return on its investment in R& D and that the strengthening of the earnings of the Austrian parent company would be reflected in dividends. It is obvious that a strengthening of the financial and strategic position of a European enterprise which does business in the EEA is likely to affect trading conditions in the Community. Such is the view expressed by the Court of Justice of the European Communities in its judgment in Case 142/87 Tubemeuse(5). The effect on trading conditions is particularly strong in this case since in terms of sales volume the EEA market is the largest regional market and two of Doppelmayr's main competitors are established in the EEA.There is evidence to suggest that these competitors of Doppelmayr are trying to increase their market shares in China and are considering investing in Chinese production facilities. The State aid may therefore strengthen Doppelmayr's position in the EEA market compared with its competitors in that market, who have received no aid for direct foreign investment.Austria has indirectly acknowledged the granting of aid in this case by saying that, in its view, the soft loan to LiftgmbH would improve the strategic position of the Doppelmayr group and have a favourable impact on the Austrian economy.Aid within the meaning of Article 92(1) of the EC Treaty and Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement is in principle incompatible with the common market. Paragraphs 2 and 3 of those Articles set out the circumstances, however, in which such aid may be considered compatible with the common market.The exceptions laid down in Article 92(2) of the EC Treaty are not applicable in this case. No aid having a social character, granted to individual consumers, and no aid to make good the damage caused by natural disasters is involved.Since Wolfurth, where LiftgmbH is located, is not in an assisted area, the exceptions laid down in Article 92(3)(a) of the EC Treaty and the regional aspects of the exceptions in Article 92(3)(c) are likewise not applicable. The Commission is of the opinion that these exceptions do not apply to investments in a non-Community country(6).As regards the exceptions laid down in Article 92(3)(b) of the EC Treaty, the Commission finds that the project does not satisfy the criteria normally required of a ""project of common European interest"" and that the aid is not intended to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of a Member State.The exceptions laid down in Article 92(3)(d) do not apply either, as the aid is not intended to promote culture and heritage conservation.Nor has Austria sought to justify the grant of the aid on the basis of the above exceptions.Only the first alternative in the first sentence of Article 92(3)(c) of the EC Treaty may be applicable in so far as the aid helps to facilitate the development of certain economic activities - in this case the internationalisation of the Doppelmayr group through its expansion into the Chinese market - without trading conditions being adversely affected to an extent contrary to the common interest(7).This is the first time that aid for a direct foreign investment by a large enterprise has been notified by Austria. The Commission has in the past not authorised State aid for direct foreign investments by large enterprises.In its decision initiating the proceedings, the Commission set forth the criteria according to which aid for direct foreign investments by large enterprises must be assessed. The Commission must in particular:1. ensure that the aid does not contain any disguised export elements,2. take into account the effects on employment in both the source country and the host country,3. consider the risks of subsidiaries or production plants being relocated out of Member States to non-Community countries,4. consider any local content requirements, and5. examine the necessity of the aid, including the envisaged aid intensity, in the light of the international competitiveness of European industry and/or of the risks run by investment projects in certain non-member countries.The Commission's concerns about the fulfilment of the criterion in point 5 were decisive when it came to initiating proceedings. The Commission accordingly sought proof from the Austrian Government that the aid was intended to reduce or offset the negative effects of market deficiencies, such as the usual difficulties facing a small or medium-sized enterprise, economic risks and political risks. It also sought proof that the aid was essential to LiftgmbH pursuing its internationalisation objectives. It queried, lastly, whether the allegedly insufficient level of internationalisation on the part of the Doppelmayr group was sufficient grounds for granting aid to LiftgmbH.The Austrian Government replied that the Doppelmayr group had to be enabled to internationalise its business and strengthen its competitiveness in the world market. In view of the political and economic risks connected with the investment, the group would not carry out the project without the soft loan. The economic risks were especially high during the first five years of operation. They included lengthy approval procedures, delays in starting up, no or inadequate infrastructure, the training of staff, the procurement of inputs, the achievement of the necessary product quality and wide exchange rate variations. According to the Austrian Government, the economic risks had already caused additional costs of ATS 1 million (ECU 72000) and might cause further costs of ATS 5 million (ECU361000) over the next two years. With regard to the political risks, reference was made to the crisis in Asia and to as yet unforeseeable political setbacks.The Commission notes that the plan to start production in China is based on a strategic decision by the Doppelmayr group. According to the Austrian Government, LiftgmbH was set up solely with a view to carrying out this investment in China. It therefore has to be proved that economic and/or political risks have prevented the Doppelmayr group from producing goods in China and that the investment would not be undertaken unaided.The Commission takes into account the fact that the risks inherent in direct foreign investment depend on the enterprise's size, its experience in the area concerned and its position in the market.Doppelmayr is a profitable enterprise with sound finances. The cost of the investment project is equivalent to 2,2 % of group turnover and 3,4 % of its balance sheet total. In the Commission's opinion, compared with the group's turnover and net asset value the investment is a minor undertaking for Doppelmayr.Doppelmayr has a worldwide presence in the ropeways business and has been active internationally for decades. The group exports its products to more than 45 countries and has built up an extensive international network of subsidiaries and joint ventures in 25 countries. The Doppelmayr group thus has a foothold in, for example, the United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, Russia, Chile, Japan, Korea and China. It is already present in countries where there is a fairly high-risk economic environment, and as far as the Commission is aware it did not receive any State aid to open up these markets. It can be concluded from this that the Doppelmayr group is familiar with international practices and has considerable experience of setting up production facilities abroad.For ropeway manufacturers, China is a strategically important and promising market. In order to be able to enter the Chinese market effectively and satisfy the local content requirements, the building of production facilities in China is essential. A ropeway manufacturer with subsidiaries or joint ventures in this market undoubtedly has a competitive advantage over rivals with no Chinese plants. From a strategic point of view, it is crucial to enter this market early so as to be sure of being in a strong position in future. This is especially true of a global market leader like Doppelmayr.Austria announced by letter dated 8 May 1998 that LiftgmbH had already started production in rented premises. In order to enter the Chinese market, it is therefore immaterial whether a ropeway manufacturer uses rented or its own premises. Austria's objective of encouraging the Doppelmayr group to expand into the Chinese market has manifestly already been attained without State aid.Against this background, the Austrian authorities have not proved that, for a globally active enterprise with a turnover of ATS 2,5 billion (ECU 180,5 million), aid of ATS 1,8 million (ECU 0,13 million) is the decisive factor when it comes to setting up a plant in China; this investment is, rather, part of a strategic plan to enter a promising market worth ATS 200 million (ECU 27 million). Nor has the aid been shown to be essential to encouraging the Doppelmayr group to expand into the Chinese market(8).Lastly, the Commission takes into account with regard to the international competitiveness of the relevant European industry the fact that the enterprises which dominate the world market are European. There is therefore no plausible evidence to suggest that favouring one of the European competitors in respect of an investment project in a non-Community country may help to improve the competitiveness of European industry.The Commission has accordingly reached the conclusion that the proposed aid for direct foreign investment by LiftgmbH in China does not contribute to the development of certain economic activities within the meaning of Article 92(3)(c) of the EC Treaty and hence is incompatible with the common market.The granting by Austria to LiftgmbH of aid in the form of a soft loan of ATS 25 million (ECU 1,8 million) can therefore not be authorised.The Commission does not intend to use this Decision to lay down its future policy on direct foreign investment. This Decision does not rule out the possibility that direct foreign investment by large enterprises, in particular in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, may be considered eligible for assistance where it can be proved that a project is in the interests of European industry and that competition in the EEA will not be restricted as a result,. The proposal by Austria to grant aid in the form of an ATS 25 million (ECU 1,8 million) soft loan from the ERP Fund for direct foreign investment by LiftgmbH, Wohlfurth, in China is incompatible, pursuant to Article 92(1) of the EC Treaty, with the common market and, pursuant to Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement, with the functioning of that Agreement.The aid may accordingly not be granted. Austria shall inform the Commission within two months of the date of notification of this Decision of the measures taken to comply therewith. This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Austria..

Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of Directive 2006/43/EC, inter alia by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.(5) Directive 2006/43/EC provides for a time restriction concerning the implementing powers conferred on the Commission. In their statement concerning Decision 2006/512/EC, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission stated that Decision 2006/512/EC provides a horizontal and satisfactory solution to the European Parliament's wish to scrutinise the implementation of instruments adopted under the codecision procedure and that, accordingly, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission without time limit. The European Parliament and the Council also declared that they would ensure that the proposals aimed at repealing the provisions in the instruments that prescribe a time limit for the delegation of implementing powers to the Commission are adopted as rapidly as possible. Following the introduction of the regulatory procedure with scrutiny, the provision establishing that time restriction in Directive 2006/43/EC should be deleted.(6) The Commission should, at regular intervals, evaluate the functioning of the provisions concerning the implementing powers conferred on it in order to allow the European Parliament and the Council to determine whether the extent of those powers and the procedural requirements imposed on the Commission are appropriate and ensure both efficiency and democratic accountability.(7) Directive 2006/43/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) Since the amendments made to Directive 2006/43/EC by this Directive are technical in nature and concern committee procedure only, they do not need to be transposed by the Member States. It is therefore not necessary to lay down provisions to that effect,. AmendmentsDirective 2006/43/EC is hereby amended as follows:1.

The compensatory aid to be granted in respect of 2002 should be fixed accordingly.(4) Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, supplementary aid is granted in one or more producer regions where the average income from production is significantly lower than the average for the Community.(5) The annual average production income from the marketing of bananas produced in Martinique and Guadeloupe has proved to be significantly lower than the Community average during 2002. As a result, supplementary aid should be granted in the producer regions of Martinique and Guadeloupe, in accordance with the practice followed in recent years. Supplementary aid covering a percentage of the difference between the average income in the Community and the average income recorded on selling products in those regions should be fixed, using a degressive calculation method in which the first 10 % of this difference is not compensated for.(6) The unit amount of the advances and the amount of the relevant security are established, in accordance with Article 4(2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, on the basis of the aid fixed for the preceding year.(7) Given that not all the necessary data were available, it has not hitherto been possible to determine the compensatory aid for 2002. Provision should be made for the balance of the aid for 2002 and of the advances for bananas marketed during January and February 2003 to be paid within two months of the entry into force of this Regulation.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,. 1. The compensatory aid provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 for fresh bananas falling within CN code ex 0803, excluding plantain bananas, produced and marketed in the Community in 2002 shall be EUR 30,33 per 100 kilograms.2.

During the marketing year, which shall run from 1 May to 30 April of the following year, verification of compliance with the minimum import price shall be carried out for each product and origin with reference to the following criteria:- for each quarter of the marketing year, the average unit value of products imported shall not be less than the minimum import price set;- for each period of two weeks, the average unit value of products imported shall not be less than 90 % of the minimum import price set, provided that the quantities imported during that period are not less than 4 % of average imports over the three previous calendar years.3. Where verification shows that one of the criteria referred to in paragraph 2 has not been respected, the Commission may decide on the measures required to ensure that a minimum import price is observed for each consignment, i.e. that countervailing charges are collected for a period not exceeding three months or two months, depending on whether the criterion not respected is the first or the second.

Research and development have identified that the use of glycerol esters of wood rosins (E 445) as an emulsifier in aqueous based food colour preparations improves the mixing and integrity of the ingredients which results in a more homogenous preparation delivering good fixing and coverage properties. This facilitates printing of high quality text and high resolution pictures to personalised and/or promotional hard-coated confectionery products intended for celebratory occasions.(6) The Report from the Commission on Dietary Food Additive Intake in the European Union (3) concluded that glycerol esters of wood rosins (E 445) needed no further examination, since the theoretical intake based on conservative assumptions on food consumption and additive usage (Tier 1) did not exceed the acceptable daily intake. The acceptable daily intake value was established on 19 June 1992 by the Scientific Committee for Food (4). The additional intake based on the new use for printing on hard-coated confectionery products does not significantly contribute to the overall intake. It is therefore appropriate to allow the use of glycerol esters of wood rosins (E 445) as an emulsifier for printing on hard-coated confectionery products.(7) Pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008, the Commission is to seek the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority in order to update the Union list of food additives set out in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, except where the update in question is not liable to have an effect on human health. Since the authorisation of use of glycerol esters of wood rosins (E 445) as an emulsifier for printing on hard-coated confectionery products constitutes an update of that list which is not liable to have an effect on human health, it is not necessary to seek the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority.(8) Pursuant to the transitional provisions of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1129/2011 of 11 November 2011 amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council by establishing a Union list of food additives (5), Annex II establishing the Union list of food additives approved for use in foods and conditions of use applies from 1 June 2013. In order to allow the use of glycerol esters of wood rosins (E 445) for printing on hard-coated confectionery products before that date, it is necessary to specify an earlier date of application with regard to this use of that food additive.(9) Therefore, Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 should be amended accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,. Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

More specifically, the fifth indent of Article 13(1) exempts substances which are for exclusive use in other product sectors for which Community notification or approval procedures exist and for which the requirements for data submission are equivalent to those laid down in Directive 67/548/EEC. Therefore, the Commission is required to establish a list of those pieces of Community legislation which contain such notification or approval procedures. The list will be re-examined periodically and, as necessary, revised.(2) 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 1999/80/EC(4), provides for the inclusion of active substances into its Annex I as a prerequisite for authorisation of the said products prior to placing them on the market. Commission Directive 93/90/EEC of 29 October 1993 concerning the list of substances referred to in Article 13(1) fifth indent of Council Directive 67/548/EEC(5) only covers active substances for inclusion in Annex I of Directive 91/414/EEC, which concerns the placing on the market. Active substances to be authorised for other purposes, including research and development according to Article 22 of Directive 91/414/EEC, should also be covered in order to confine the authorisation procedures for such substances solely to the scope of Directive 91/414/EEC.(3) Substances exclusively used as active substances of biocidal products, according 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(6), fall under the fifth indent of Article 13(1) of Directive 67/548/EEC and should therefore be exempted, including for the purpose of research and development, in order to confine the authorisation procedures for such substances solely to the scope of Directive 98/8/EC.(4) Directive 93/90/EEC should be repealed.(5) The provisions of this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Directives for the Elimination of Technical Barriers to Trade in Dangerous Substances and Preparations,. The list of Community legislation concerning product sectors for which Community notification or approval procedures exist, and for which the requirements for data submission for the categories of substances identified in the list are equivalent to those laid down in Directive 67/548/EEC, is contained in the Annex to this Directive.

The outstanding amount of the losses for the three years has been covered, according to a memorandum from the French authorities of 25 March 1998, by loan issues floated by Charbonnages de France on the financial market.(3) In its letter of formal notice to France of 26 July 1999(3), the Commision considered that the conditions under which these loan issues were floated and the close links which exist between Charbonnages de France and the French authorities suggested that the loan issues floated by the company were tacitly guaranteed by the French State. The letter of formal notice in particular stated that the financial position of Charbonnages de France does not allow it to borrow on the financial market on the basis of ordinary law without at least a tacit guarantee from the State. Charbonnages de France has planned to cease all mining activity in 2005. By that date, it is not merely unlikely that it will have repaid the loans currently outstanding, but it may have issued others, both because the mining operations are structurally loss-making and to repay previous loans. The Commission therefore considered that these loans constituted aid within the meaning of Article 1 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.(4) France confirmed the Commission's position in a letter of 26 October 1999 in reply to the letter of formal notice of 26 July 1999 and expressly stated that the loan issues floated by Charbonnages de France could be regarded as issued on behalf of the French State. Several convergent factors also suggest the existence of an implicit guarantee by the French State for the loan issues floated by Charbonnages de France, in particular the fact that, as indicated by the French authorities in their letter of 26 October 1999, the status of CDF (Charbonnages de France) as a public undertaking means its rights and obligations are transferred to the State once it has been wound up and will entail the French State taking over the undertaking's debt when it is wound up after mining activities cease in 2005.(5) The Commission therefore concludes that the part of the loan issues floated by Charbonnages de France to cover the balance of the operating losses for 1997, 1998 and 1999 which are not covered by direct subsidies and capital injections constitutes aid within the meaning of Article 1 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.(6) In the light of the above and the information communicated by France, the Commission is required to take a decision, pursuant to Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, on the following financial measures:(a) for 1997:- aid amounting to FRF 2489 million for the reduction of activity to cover operating losses,- aid amounting to FRF 3869 million to cover exceptional costs;(b) for 1998:- aid amounting to FRF 2578 million for the reduction of activity to cover operating losses,- aid amounting to FRF 4059 million to cover exceptional costs;(c) for 1999:- aid amounting to FRF 2369 million for the reduction of activity to cover operating losses,- aid amounting to FRF 4135 million to cover exceptional costs.(7) The financial measures envisaged by France for its coal industry are covered by Article 1 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and must therefore be approved by the Commission in accordance with Article 9, which refers in particular to the general objectives and criteria laid down in Article 2 and the specific criteria set out in Articles 4 and 5 of the above Decision. In its assessment, the Commission checks, in accordance with Article 9(6) of the Decision, whether the measures are in conformity with the plans for the reduction of activity which have been approved by the Commission.II(8) The sums of FRF 2489 million, FRF 2578 million and FRF 2369 million which France is proposing to grant to the coal industry under Article 4 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC for the years 1997, 1998 and 1999 respectively are intended to cover the difference between the production cost and the selling price of coal freely agreed between the contracting parties in the light of the prevailing conditions on the world market for coal of similar quality from third countries. This aid forms part of the plan for the reduction of activitiy by the company, which plans to cease all mining activities in 2005. In view of the exceptional social and regional consequences of the reduction of activity by the company, the French Government, in agreement with the two sides of industry, has decided to stagger the closures up to 2005.(9) Although coal production has been reduced from 5,361 million tce(4) in 1997 to 3,673 million tce in 1999, a reduction of 30 %, the Commission notes that the amount af aid has remained relatively stable over this period. The fall in coal prices on the international markets and the rise in the production costs - from FRF 825 per tce in 1997 to FRF 975 per tce in 1999 - have neutralised the effect of reducing the volume of production to the overall amount of aid. This trend in the cost of mining coal merely serves to confirm France's decision to cease all mining by 2005.(10) In accordance with Article 3(1) of the above Decision, the Commission has checked that, for the coal mining years 1997 and 1998, the aid notified per tonne does not exceed for each production unit the difference between production costs and actual revenue. The Commission has checked for the coal mining year 1999 that the aid notified by tonne does not exceed for each production unit the difference between production costs and foreseeable revenue.(11) The Commission has furthermore checked whether, in accordance with Article 2(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the aid proposed by France has been entered in the Member State's national, regional or local public budgets or channelled through strictly equivalent mechanisms. As the direct subsidies from the general State budget and the capital injections have been entered in the Treasury's special allocation account, these two categories of aid do comply with the requirements of Article 2(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC. For the loan issues floated by Charbonnages de France, France has informed the Commission, in its letter of 26 October 1999, that the French State will accept responsibility for the interest on these loans from 2000 onwards. The interest on these loans due for 1998 and 1999 has been covered by loan issues floated for those years. As the French authorities have provided the Commission with proof, by letter of 3 July 2000, that the interest due for the year 2000 is entered in the State budget for 1999, the Commission considers that the loans meet the requirement of Article 2(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC. In accordance with the seventh recital of point III of the above Decision, the requirement in Article 2(2) is intended to provide the best guarantees of transparency in the aid systems. As the interest due for the year 2000 has been budgeted for, that objective may be regarded as fulfilled in as much as the interest is accessory to the sum of the loans. As the loan interest is budgeted for, the sum itself of the loans complies ipso facto with the objective of the transparency of aid in Article 2(2) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.(12) In accordance with Article 2(1), second indent, the aid helps to solve the social and regional problems created by total or partial reductions in the activity of production units.(13) Except for the sum of FRF 35 million for the year 1997, and the sum of FRF 45 million for each of the years 1998 and 1999, on the basis of the information provided by France, the aid proposed for these three years is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market. The Commission will subsequently take a decision on the balances of FRF 35 million for 1997 and FRF 45 million for the years 1998 and 1999, in particular in the light of France's replies to the questions in the Commission's letter of formal notice of 9 February 1999 in the context of complaint No 97/4717 of 26 August 1997 against Charbonnages de France, which has been lodged by five French undertakings, including the company Thion et Cie.(14) This Decision is also without prejudice to the decision which the Commission will be required to take after consideration of the complaints submitted against Charbonnages de France, in particular Cokes de Drocourt SA, in the context of the coke market.III(15) The sums of FRF 3869 million, FRF 4059 million and FRF 4135 million which France proposes to grant to its coal industry for 1997, 1998 and 1999 respectively are intended to cover exceptional costs due to modernisation, rationalisation and the restructuring of the coal industry which are not related to current production (inherited liabilities).(16) In accordance with Article 5 of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, this aid covers costs which are expressly referred to in the Annex to the Decision, namely:- FRF 631 million, FRF 731 million and FRF 837 million towards the cost of paying social-welfare benefits for 1997, 1998 and 1999 respectively resulting from the pensioning-off of workers before they reach statutory retirement age;- FRF 154 million, FRF 244 million and FRF 157 million as other exceptional expenditure in 1997, 1998 and 1999 respectively on workers losing their jobs as a result of restructuring and rationalisation;- FRF 47 million, FRF 67 million and FRF 86 million towards residual costs for 1997, 1998 and 1999 respectively resulting from administrative, legal or tax provisions;- FRF 143 million, FRF 198 million and FRF 246 million towards additional work in 1997, 1998 and 1999 respectively resulting from restructuring;- FRF 10 million, FRF 7 million and FRF 12 million towards mining damage in 1997, 1998 and 1999 respectively attributable to pits previously in service;- FRF 73 million, FRF 45 million and FRF 45 million towards exceptional intrinsic depreciation in 1997, 1998 and 1999 respectively resulting from the restructuring of the industry;- FRF 2811 million, FRF 2767 million and FRF 2752 million towards the increase in the contributions, outside the statutory system in 1997, 1998 and 1999 respectively to cover social security costs as a result of the drop, following restructuring, in the number of contributors.(17) In accordance with Article 5(1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, this aid may be regarded as compatible with the common market if it does not exceed the costs arising from or having arisen from the modernisation, rationalisation or restructuring of the coal industry which are not related to current production. Having checked the data communicated, the Commission concludes that this requirement has been fulfilled. In the light of the above and on the basis of the information provided by France, the aid planned for 1997, 1998 and 1999 is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market.IV(18) In accordance with the second indent of Article 3(1) and Article 9(2) and (3) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission has to check that the aid authorised for current production is only for the purposes stipulated in Article 4 of the Decision. To this end, it must be informed of the amounts of such payments and the way they are broken down for 1999,. France is authorised to apply the following measures in favour of its coal industry for 1997:(a) aid for the reduction of activity, amounting to FRF 2454 million, intended to cover operating losses. The Commission will take a decision on a balance of FRF 35 million at a later date;(b) aid to cover exceptional costs amounting to FRF 3869 million. France is authorised to apply the following measures in favour of its coal industry for 1998:(a) aid for the reduction of activity, amounting to FRF 2533 million, intended to cover operating losses. The Commission will take a decision on a balance of FRF 45 million at a later date;(b) aid to cover exceptional costs amounting to FRF 4059 million. France is authorised to apply the following measures in favour of its coal industry for 1999:(a) aid for the reduction of activity, amounting to FRF 2324 million, intended to cover operating losses. The Commission will take a decision on a balance of FRF 45 million at a later date;(b) aid to cover exceptional costs amounting to FRF 4135 million. France shall communicate the amounts of aid actually paid under this Decision for 1999 no later than 30 September 2000. This Decision is addressed to the French Republic..

EXPRESSION OF RESULTS >PIC FILE= ""T0010808"">3. MEASURING SITEThe measuring site shall be a level area free from appreciable wave-reflecting surfaces within an ellipse having a major axis of 20 m and a minor axis of 17 73 m. The antenna and the centre of the engine must be located on the major axis of the ellipse, the plane of symmetry of the vehicle being parallel to the minor axis. The antenna and the point of intersection of the side of the engine nearest to the antenna with the major axis must each be located at a focal point of the ellipse. The measuring set, or the test hut or vehicle in which the set is located, may be within the ellipse but horizontally not closer than 3 m to the antenna, in a direction opposite to the vehicle being measured. Furthermore, the absence of any extraneous noise or signal which could materially affect the measurement must be ensured ; a check is therefore made, with the engine stopped, before and after taking the measurements, which can be considered satisfactory only if the readings are at least 10 dB above the highest obtained at the pre- and post-measurement checks.4. VEHICLE 4.1 Only the ancillary electrical equipment necessary for the running of the engine shall be operating.4.2 The engine shall be at its normal operating temperature. During each measurement, the engine shall be operated as follows: >PIC FILE= ""T0010809"">4.3 Measurements shall not be made while rain is falling on the vehicle or within 10 minutes after rain has stopped.5. ANTENNA 5.1 HeightThe centre of the dipole shall be 3 m above the ground.5.2 Distance of measurementThe horizontal distance from the antenna to the nearest metal part of the vehicle shall be 10 m.5.3 Antenna location relative to vehicleThe antenna shall be placed successively on the left- and right-hand sides of the vehicle, at two positions of measurement, with the aerial parallel to the plane of symmetry of the vehicle and in line with the engine. (See Appendix to this Annex.)5.4 Antenna positionAt each of the measuring points, readings shall be taken with the dipole in a horizontal and in a vertical position. (See Appendix to this Annex.)5.5 ReadingsThe maximum of four readings shall be taken as the characteristic reading at the frequency at which the measurements were made.6. FREQUENCIESMeasurements shall be made within the 40 to 250 MHz range. A vehicle is considered as very likely to meet the required suppression limits over the whole frequency range if it meets them at the following six frequencies : 45, 65, 90, 150, 180 and 220 (± 5 MHz). (The 5 MHz tolerance for the six frequencies chosen should make it possible to avoid interference from transmissions operating on the nominal frequencies.)Appendix ANTENNA DIRECTION RELATIVE TO VEHICLE>PIC FILE= ""T0010810"">ANNEX III STATISTICAL METHOD OF CHECKING RADIO INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSIONIn order to ensure with an 80 % probability that 80 % of the vehicles conform to a specified limit L, the following condition must be satisfied: >PIC FILE= ""T0010811"">If a first sample of n vehicles does not meet the specification, a second sample of n vehicles shall be tested and the overall results assessed as coming from a sample of 2n vehicles.ANNEX IV>PIC FILE= ""T0010812""> +",statistical method;statistical harmonisation;statistical methodology;engine;combustion engine;measuring equipment;measuring instrument;meter;approximation of laws;legislative harmonisation;road transport;road haulage;transport by road;motor vehicle;electromagnetic interference;electrical interference;electromagnetic field;electromagnetic pollution;electromagnetic radiation;Community certification,20 +36845,"Commission Directive 2009/124/EC of 25 September 2009 amending Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum levels for arsenic, theobromine, Datura sp., Ricinus communis L., Croton tiglium L. and Abrus precatorius L. (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 May 2002 on undesirable substances in animal feed (1), and in particular Article 8(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) Directive 2002/32/EC provides that the use of products intended for animal feed which contain levels of undesirable substances exceeding the maximum levels laid down in Annex I to that Directive is prohibited.(2) As regards feedingstuffs obtained from the processing of fish or other marine animals, recent information provided by competent authorities of the Member States on the presence of total arsenic (sum of organic and inorganic arsenic) indicates that it is necessary to increase certain maximum levels for total arsenic. By-products of the fish filleting industry are valuable raw materials for the production of fish meal and fish oil for use in compound feed, in particular fish feed.(3) The increase of the maximum levels for total arsenic in feedingstuffs obtained from the processing of fish or other marine animals and feedingstuffs for fish entails no change in the maximum levels for inorganic arsenic. Since the potential adverse effects of arsenic to animal and human health are determined by the inorganic fraction in a given feed or food product and the organic arsenic compounds exhibit a very low toxic potential (2), the increased levels for total arsenic do not affect the protection of animal and public health.(4) In Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC, arsenic refers to total arsenic for the purpose of setting maximum levels, since there is no standardised routine method for the analysis of inorganic arsenic. But for cases in which the competent authorities request an analysis of the content of inorganic arsenic, that Annex sets out a maximum level for inorganic arsenic.(5) As the extraction method has in some cases a significant influence on the analytical result on total arsenic, it is appropriate to specify an extraction procedure for reference to be used for official control.(6) Information provided by competent authorities and stakeholder organisations indicate significant levels of arsenic in additives belonging to the functional group of compounds of trace elements, authorised in application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). It is appropriate to establish maximum levels for arsenic in these additives to protect animal and public health.(7) As regards theobromine, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded in its opinion of 10 June 2008 (4) that the current maximum levels for theobromine may not fully protect some animal species. It pointed out possible adverse effects on pigs, dogs and horses and on milk production in dairy cows. It is therefore appropriate to establish lower maximum levels.(8) As regards alkaloids in Datura sp., EFSA concluded in its opinion of 9 April 2008 (5) that, since tropane alkaloids are present in all Datura sp., it is appropriate for the protection of animal health, in particular for pigs, to extend the maximum levels for Datura stramonium L., as set out in Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC, to all Datura sp.(9) As regards ricin (from Ricinus communis L.), EFSA concluded in its opinion of 10 June 2008 (6) that, given the similar toxic effects of the toxins from Ricinus communis L. (ricin), Croton tiglium L. (crotin) and Abrus precatorius L. (abrin), it is appropriate to apply the maximum levels for Ricinus communis L., as set out in Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC, also to Croton tiglium L. and Abrus precatorius L., separately or in combination.(10) Directive 2002/32/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(11) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council has opposed them,. Annex I to Directive 2002/32/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 July 2010 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.

The national competent authority is to forward valid applications to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Authority’.(3) Following receipt of an application the Authority is to inform without delay the other Member States and the Commission thereof and to deliver an opinion on the health claim concerned.(4) The Commission is to decide on the authorisation of health claims taking into account the opinion delivered by the Authority.(5) Following an application from Ceprodi KOT, submitted pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of ‘hypo-caloric snacks (KOT products)’ on reduction of adipocyte size at the abdominal level in the context of a low-calorie diet (Question No EFSA-Q-2011-00016) (2). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Contributes to reduce the adipocytes size at the abdominal level, in the context of a low-calorie diet’.(6) On 30 September 2011, the Commission and the Member States received the scientific opinion from the Authority, which concluded that on the basis of the data presented, a cause and effect relationship had not been established between the consumption of ‘hypo-caloric snacks (KOT products)’ and a beneficial physiological effect related to the reduction of subcutaneous adipocyte size at the abdominal level. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.(7) Following an application from Valio Ltd, submitted pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of isoleucyl-prolyl-proline (IPP) and valyl-prolyl-proline (VPP) on maintenance of normal blood pressure (Question No EFSA-Q-2011-00121) (3). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Peptides IPP and VPP help to maintain normal blood pressure’.(8) On 30 September 2011, the Commission and the Member States received the scientific opinion from the Authority, which concluded that on the basis of the data presented, a cause and effect relationship had not been established between the consumption of IPP and VPP and the claimed effect. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.(9) Following an application from Diana Naturals, submitted pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of Appl’In® polyphenolic apple extract powder (Malus domestica) on reduction of post-prandial glycaemic responses (Question No EFSA-Q-2011-00190) (4). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Appl’In® contributes to decrease glycaemic response in women’.(10) On 5 October 2011, the Commission and the Member States received the scientific opinion from the Authority, which concluded that on the basis of the data presented, a cause and effect relationship had not been established between the consumption of Appl’In® and the claimed effect. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.(11) Following an application from Tchibo GmbH, submitted pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the consumption of coffee C21 and reduction of spontaneous DNA strand breaks (Question No EFSA-Q-2011-00783) (5). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Regular consumption of Coffee C21 contributes to the maintenance of DNA integrity in cells of the body’.(12) On 5 December 2011, the Commission and the Member States received the scientific opinion from the Authority, which concluded that on the basis of the data presented, a cause and effect relationship had not been established between the consumption of coffee C21 and the claimed effect. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.(13) Following an application from Kao Corporation, submitted pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil and reduction of body weight (Question No EFSA-Q-2011-00751) (6). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Substituting your usual vegetable oil with DAG oil helps in the management of body weight through weight loss’(14) On 5 December 2011, the Commission and the Member States received the scientific opinion from the Authority, which concluded that on the basis of the data presented, a cause and effect relationship had not been established between the consumption of DAG oil (as a replacement of triacylglycerol oils) and the claimed effect. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.(15) Following an application from Giuliani S.p.A., submitted pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 and including a request for protection of proprietary data, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of spermidine and prolongation of the growing phase (anagen) of the hair cycle (Question No EFSA-Q-2011-00896) (7). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Spermidine prolongs the growing phase (anagen) of the hair cycle’.(16) On 7 December 2011, the Commission and the Member States received the scientific opinion from the Authority, which concluded that on the basis of the data presented, the claimed effect is related to pathological conditions leading to the shortening of the anagen phase of hair growth and relates thus to the treatment of a disease.(17) Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 complements the general principles of Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs (8). Article 2(1)(b) of Directive 2000/13/EC provides that the labelling shall not attribute to any foodstuff the property of preventing, treating or curing a human disease, or refer to such properties. Accordingly, as the attribution of medicinal properties to foods is prohibited, the claim related to the effects of spermidine should not be authorised.(18) Following an application from Clasado Ltd, submitted pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of galacto-oligosaccharides from Bimuno® (Bimuno® GOS) and reducing gastro-intestinal discomfort (Question No EFSA-Q-2011-00401) (9). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Regular daily consumption of 1,37 g galacto-oligosaccharides from Bimuno® may reduce intestinal discomfort’.(19) On 8 December 2011, the Commission and the Member States received the scientific opinion from the Authority, which concluded that on the basis of the data presented, a cause and effect relationship had not been established between the consumption of Bimuno® GOS and the claimed effect. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.(20) Following an application from Nordic Sugar A/S., submitted pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, the Authority was required to deliver an opinion on a health claim related to the effects of sugar beet fibre and decreasing intestinal transit time (Question No EFSA-Q-2011-00971) (10). The claim proposed by the applicant was worded as follows: ‘Sugar beet fibre decreases intestinal transit time’.(21) On 8 December 2011, the Commission and the Member States received the scientific opinion from the Authority, which concluded that on the basis of the data presented, a cause and effect relationship had not been established between the consumption of sugar beet fibre and the claimed effect. Accordingly, as the claim does not comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, it should not be authorised.(22) The health claim related to the effects of spermidine and prolongation of the growing phase (anagen) of the hair cycle, is a health claim attributing medicinal properties to the food subject to the claim and is therefore prohibited for foods.(23) The health claims related to ‘hypo-caloric snacks (KOT products)’ and to diacylglycerol (DAG) oil are health claims as those referred to in point (c) of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 which are subject to the transitional period laid down in Article 28(6) of that Regulation. However, as the applications were not made before 19 January 2008, the requirement provided for in point (b) of Article 28(6) of that Regulation is not fulfilled, and therefore those claims may not benefit from the transitional period provided for in that Article.(24) The other health claims subject to this Regulation are health claims as referred to in point (a) of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, which are subject to the transitional period laid down in Article 28(5) of that Regulation until the adoption of the list of permitted health claims provided that they comply with that Regulation.(25) The list of permitted health claims has been established by Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 (11) and is applicable since 14 December 2012. As regards claims referred to in Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 for which the evaluation by the Authority or consideration by the Commission has not been completed by 14 December 2012 and which by virtue of this Regulation are not included in the list of permitted health claims, it is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which they may still be used, in order to allow both food business operators and the competent national authorities to adapt to the prohibition of such claims.(26) The comments from the applicants and the members of the public received by the Commission pursuant to Article 16(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 have been considered when setting the measures provided for in this Regulation.(27) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and neither the European Parliament nor the Council have opposed them,. 1.   The health claims listed in the Annex to this Regulation shall not be included in the Union list of permitted claims as provided for in Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.2.   However, the health claims referred to in paragraph 1 used prior to the entry into force of this Regulation, may continue to be used for a maximum period of six months after the entry into force of this Regulation.

Viral claimed that it was not related to any of the exporters or producers in India subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned. Furthermore, it claimed that it did not export the product concerned during the period of investigation on which the current measures in force were based with regard to the determination of dumping, i.e. the period from 1 January to 31 August 1990 (hereinafter referred to as the 'original investigation period`). Finally, Viral also claimed that it had actually exported the product concerned to the Community and that it had also entered into irrevocable contractual obligations to export significant quantities of PSF to the Community.(3) The Commission, after having verified the evidence submitted by the Indian exporter concerned, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a review in accordance with Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation, after consultation of the Advisory Committee and after the Community industry concerned had been given the opportunity to comment, initiated, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1285/96 (3), a review of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 with regard to Viral and commenced its investigation.In the Regulation initiating the review, the Commission also repealed the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 with regard to imports of the product concerned, produced and exported to the Community by Viral, and directed customs authorities, pursuant to Article 14 (5) of the Basic Regulation, to take appropriate steps to register such imports.(4) The product covered by the present review is the same product as the one under consideration in Regulation (EEC) No 54/93.(5) The Commission officially advised Viral and the representatives of the exporting country. Furthermore, it gave other parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. However, no such request has been received by the Commission.The Commission sent a questionnaire to Viral and received a proper and timely reply.The Commission sought and verify all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of the investigation.(6) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996.(7) The same methodology as that used in the original investigation was applied in the present investigation where circumstances had not changed.C. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW(8) As no request for a review of the findings on injury was made in this investigation, this review is limited to dumping.D. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION1. New exporter qualification(9) The investigation confirmed that Viral had not exported the product concerned during the original investigation period. Production of PSF by Viral and export thereof to the Community started, in fact, only during the second half of 1995.Furthermore, according to documentary evidence submitted, Viral satisfactorily demonstrated that it did not have any links, either direct or indirect, with any of Indian exporters subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to the product concerned.Accordingly, it is confirmed that Viral should be considered as a new exporter in accordance with Article 11 (4) of the Basic Regulation, and thus its individual dumping margin should be determined.2. DumpingA. Normal value(10) In accordance with Article 2 (2) of the Basic Regulation, an examination was conducted to ascertain whether the volume of Viral's sales of PSF on the Indian domestic market in total reached at least 5 % of the volume of the Indian exports of the product concerned to the Community. It was established, based on the documentary evidence submitted in the company's questionnaire reply, that domestic sales of the like product achieved a level considerably in excess of the aforementioned 5 % threshold.For each of the types of PSF sold on the domestic market and found to be identical or directly comparable to types sold for export to the Community, the Commission then established whether domestic sales per type were made in sufficient quantities.Domestic sales of each type were considered to have been made in sufficient quantities within the meaning of Article 2 (2) of the Basic Regulation as the volume of each type of PSF sold in India during the investigation period represented 5 % or more of the quantity of the comparable type of PSF sold for export to the Community.The Commission subsequently examined whether the domestic sales of each type of PSF exported to the Community could be considered to have been made in the ordinary course of trade.Whether or not domestic sales were made in the ordinary course of trade was determined pursuant to Article 2 (4) of the Basic Regulation. Since, per product type, the weighted average selling price was equal to, or higher than, the weighted average unit cost and as the volume of sales below unit cost represented less than 20 % of the sales being used to determine normal value, all domestic sales were regarded as having been made in the ordinary course of trade.In accordance with Article 2 (1) of the Basic Regulation, normal value was therefore based on the weighted average prices of all domestic sales of the corresponding product types exported to the Community.B. Export price(11) Export prices were established on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the product concerned when sold for export to the Community, in accordance with Article 2 (8) of the Basic Regulation.C. Comparison(12) In accordance with Article 2 (11) of the Basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value by product type was compared, on an ex-factory basis, to the weighted average export price at the same level of trade.For the purpose of a fair comparison, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences which were claimed and demonstrated to affect price comparability. These adjustments were made, in accordance with Article 2 (10) of the Basic Regulation, in respect of commissions, transport, insurance, handling and ancillary costs, credit costs, discounts and rebates.D. Dumping margin(13) The above comparison revealed that no dumping existed for exports to the Community of the product concerned made by Viral during the investigation period.E. AMENDMENT OF THE MEASURES BEING REVIEWED(14) Based on the findings of no dumping made during the investigation, it is considered that no anti-dumping measure should be imposed on imports into the Community of PSF, produced and exported by Viral. Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.F. DISCLOSURE AND DURATION OF THE MEASURE(15) Viral was informed of the facts and considerations on the basis of which it is intended to propose the amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 and was given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received.(16) This review carried out does not affect the date on which Regulation (EEC) No 54/93 will expire pursuant to Article 11 (2) of the Basic Regulation,. The following shall be added at the end of Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 54/93:', as well as Viral Filaments Limited, India (Taric additional code 8642)`. Customs authorities are hereby directed to discontinue registration pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1285/96. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

Member States are no longer empowered to introduce national aid measures unilaterally;Whereas, in view of the foregoing, the economic reasons put forward by the French Government cannot be accepted;Whereas the prohibition laid down in Article 92 (1) cannot be lifted under paragraph 2 of that Article since the derogations it provides for are obviously not applicable in this case;Whereas the derogations provided for in Article 92 (3) must, in the context of national or regional aids, be given a strict interpretation ; whereas, in particular, there should be derogations only where the Commission can establish that the aid is necessary in order to attain one of the objectives specified in those provisions;Whereas to authorize, under the said derogations, aids which do not feature such a compensating element would be tantamount to allowing trade between Member States to be undermined and to accepting distortions of competition which would not be in the Community interest and, by the same token, unjustified advantages for certain Member States;Whereas it is not possible to establish that such a compensating element exists in the case of the planned aid in question;Whereas the French Government has been unable to give, and the Commission to find, grounds for considering that the aid in question meets the requirements for a derogation under Article 92 (3) of the Treaty;Whereas the measure is not intended to promote the economic development of an area where the standard of living is abnormally low or where there is serious under-employment and it is not an important project of common European interest or a measure to remedy a serious disturbance in France's economy ; whereas, therefore, paragraphs (a) and (b) of Article 92 (3) of the Treaty are not applicable in this case;Whereas, moreover, the measure constitutes an operating aid for the producers concerned which is purely of an interim protective nature ; whereas the Commission has always opposed aids of this type which do not meet the conditions for a derogation under Article 92 (3) (c) of the Treaty since they are highly ineffective and therefore unlikely to promote development as laid down therein;Whereas, in view of the foregoing, the abovementioned aid does not meet the requirements for application of a derogation under Article 92 (3) of the Treaty,. The aid granted by France in the form of a payment of FF 146 million to the equalization funds in the pigmeat sector is incompatible with the provisions of Article 92 of the Treaty.

The commitments of the Russian Federation include tariff-rate quotas for the export of specified types of coniferous wood, a share of which has been allocated for exports to the Union. The modalities for the administration of those tariff-rate quotas are laid down in the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Russian Federation relating to the administration of tariff-rate quotas applying to exports of wood from the Russian Federation to the European Union (2) (the Agreement) and in the Protocol (3) between the European Union and the Government of the Russian Federation on technical modalities pursuant to the Agreement (the Protocol). The Agreement and the Protocol were signed on 16 December 2011. They have been applied provisionally from the date of the accession of the Russian Federation to the World Trade Organisation.(2) Pursuant to Article 4 of Decision 2012/105/EU, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 498/2012 (4) has laid down the rules on the allocation of tariff-rate quotas applying to exports of wood from the Russian Federation to the European Union. That Regulation will cease to apply on the date on which the Protocol ceases to be applied provisionally.(3) While the Agreement and the Protocol continue to be applied provisionally, pending the completion of the procedures for their conclusion, the experience gained with the implementation of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 498/2012 during the first three quota periods has revealed the need to amend Article 15 of that Regulation to take into account the low utilisation rate of the tariff-rate quotas during the first three quota periods. The suspension of the reduction of import ceilings provided for in Articles 13 and 14 during quota period 2015 is necessary to promote the full utilisation by traditional importers in particular of the tariff-rate quotas allocated to exports to the Union.(4) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 498/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5) The measures provided for in this Implementing Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Wood Committee established by Council Decision 2012/105/EU,. Article 15 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 498/2012 is replaced by the following:‘Article 151.   Should the conditions for reduction of import ceilings provided for in Articles 13 and 14 be both met simultaneously, only the higher reduction (Ri or ri) shall be applied.2.   The provisions of Articles 13 and 14 shall not apply during the first quota period following the first three quota periods.’ This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

whereas in the interests of clarity and good administration that Regulation should also be consolidated;Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 345/79 lays down that refunds are to be fixed periodically; whereas experience gained in respect of price trends in international trade shows that a six-month period is adequate;Whereas, at present, only concentrated grape must and table wines are eligible for refunds;Whereas Article 1 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81 of 27 November 1981 laying down special detailed rules in respect of import and export licences in the wine sector (7) lays down that an export licence must be produced, if products in the wine sector are to qualify for an export refund;Whereas, however, the first indent of Article 5 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2646/81 (9), lays down that no licence shall be required for carrying out the operations referred to in Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 (10), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2646/81; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81 furthermore lays down in Article 5 that no export licence is required for operations covering quantities below 30 hectolitres or, as the case may be, 3 000 kilograms; whereas it should accordingly be stated that the proof that export was carried out under a licence is not required for such operations;Whereas steps should be taken to ensure that table wines qualifying for refunds have the quality characteristics of table wines of the production region from which they come;Whereas it should be laid down that the exporter must provide the necessary proof in order to obtain the refund; whereas, to this end, he should indicate inter alia the numbers and dates of the accompanying documents provided for by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1153/75 (11), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece; whereas, however, pursuant to Article 13 (2) of that Regulation, the Member States may provide that the said document need not be drawn up for certain products in certain cases; whereas it is therefore necessary, to ensure effective supervision, to exclude the possibility of recourse to that provision in the context of the refund system;Whereas, however, in the case of deliveries for victualling ships and aircraft qualifying for refunds, it is not always easy to obtain the necessary documents in good time, particularly in non-producer Member States, on account of the difficulty of ascertaining the delivery dates in advance; whereas production of the required proof can thus represent a disproportionate burden in relation to the small quantities of table wines which normally make up such individual deliveries for traders who do not employ the procedure laid down in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 or in Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products (1); whereas, for these small quantities, reference to the accompanying document may be sufficient to satisfy supervision requirements;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,. Refunds shall be fixed at least once every six months. Except for supplies for the special purposes referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 and supplies of the quantities referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81, the granting of refunds shall be conditional on production of proof that the products have been exported under an export licence. 1. The granting of refunds shall be conditional upon proof that the products exported- were accompanied on export by an analysis certificate issued by an official body of the producer Member State or the exporting Member State certifying that they meet the Community quality standards for the products in question or, in the absence of such standards, the national standards applied by the exporting Member State,and, in the case of table wine,- have been approved by a tasting committee recognized by the exporting Member State; where this Member State is not the producer, proof must also be provided that the wine in question is a Community table wine.The certificate referred to in the first indent of the first subparagraph shall mention at least the following:(a) for table wines:- the colour,- the total alcoholic strength by volume,- the actual alcoholic strength by volume,- the total acidity;(b) for concentrated grape must: the density.2. The exporter shall be required to mention:(a) for table wines of types A II and A III, the vine varieties;(b) for wines resulting from coupage, the origin and quantities of wines used;(c) the numbers and dates of the accompanying documents. 1.

In addition, the SCCP maintained that recent scientific evidence did not confirm the assumed local-anaesthetic effect of polidocanol. Thus, its presence in cosmetics and skin care products will not affect cutaneous sensation. It should therefore be included in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.(2) The SCCS, in an Addendum of 13-14 December 2011 to the SCCP opinion on polidocanol, confirmed the conclusions of the SCCP.(3) Given that polidocanol was found in both injectable and topical medicinal products at concentrations even lower than the ones considered safe by the SCCP, the Commission requested the opinion of the European Medicines Agency on the classification of topical products containing the substance. The opinion, formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use on 25 October 2011, concluded that products containing polidocanol do not automatically qualify as medicinal products falling under the definition of medicinal product provided in Article 1(2) of Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use (3). In addition, polidocanol used in topical products at the suggested concentrations and for the suggested topical use (3 % for leave-on products and 4 % for rinse-off products) acts as detergent or ionic surfactant and these products do not present the characteristics of medicinal products.(4) Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5) The application of the abovementioned restrictions should be deferred by 12 months to allow the industry to make the necessary adjustments to product formulations.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,.

That Decision was taken within the framework of the second stage of the programme of work provided for in Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (3) and (EC) No 703/2001 (4) which lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and which establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(2) The original notifier submitted a new application pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5). It requested the application of the accelerated procedure pursuant to Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and submitted an updated dossier. The application was submitted to Spain, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 451/2000.(3) That application complies with the substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and was submitted within the time period provided for in the second sentence of Article 13 of that Regulation.(4) Spain evaluated the new information and data submitted by the notifier and prepared an additional report on 15 April 2009.(5) The additional report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter ‘EFSA’, and presented to the Commission on 30 September 2009 in the format of the EFSA Conclusion for 1,3-dichloropropene (6). This report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 9 July 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for 1,3-dichloropropene.(6) The new assessment by the rapporteur Member State and the new conclusion by the EFSA concentrated on the concerns that lead to the non-inclusion, which were due to the release in the environment of large amounts of known and unknown polychlorinated impurities, for which no information on persistency, toxicological behaviour, uptake from crops, accumulation, metabolic fate and residue level were available, as well as to the inconclusive nature of the consumer risk assessment and to the risk of groundwater potential contamination, for birds, mammals, aquatic organisms and other non-target organism.(7) New data and information were submitted by the notifier in the updated dossier to address the concerns which lead to the non-inclusion, in particular as regards the identity of a number of impurities, the level of residues expected in crops, the risk to groundwater contamination and the risk to birds, mammals, aquatic organisms and non-target organisms. A new assessment was performed, as included in the additional report and in the EFSA Conclusion for 1,3-dichloropropene.(8) However, the additional data and information provided by the notifier did not permit to eliminate all the specific concerns that led to the non-inclusion.(9) In particular, there is a concern for the consumer exposure in relation to 11 unidentified manufacturing impurities. Furthermore, the potential contamination of groundwater in relation to 1,3-dichloropropene, its relevant toxic breakdown product (EZ)-3-chloroacrylic acid and 11 unidentified manufacturing impurities were not adequately addressed and there is a potential for long-range transport through the atmosphere of 10 manufacturing impurities. In addition, the risk to non-target organisms was not demonstrated to be acceptable.(10) The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the peer review and on its intention or not to further support the substance. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 21(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008, the Commission invited the notifier to submit comments on the draft review report. The notifier submitted its comments, which have been carefully examined.(11) However, despite the arguments put forward by the notifier, the concerns identified could not be eliminated, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted and evaluated during the EFSA expert meetings have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing 1,3-dichloropropene satisfy in general the conditions laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC.(12) 1,3-dichloropropene should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.(13) Decision 2007/619/EC should be repealed.(14) This Decision does not prejudice the submission of a further application for 1,3-dichloropropene pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Chapter II of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.(15) The Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health did not deliver an opinion within the time-limit laid down by its Chairman and the Commission therefore submitted to the Council a proposal relating to these measures. On the expiry of the period laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 19(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, the Council had neither adopted the proposed implementing act nor indicated its opposition to the proposal for implementing measures and it is accordingly for the Commission to adopt these measures,. 1,3-dichloropropene shall not be included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.

Effective investigation and, as appropriate, prosecution of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes should be ensured without interference with the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.(5) The investigation and prosecution of, and exchange of information on, genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes is to remain the responsibility of national authorities, except as affected by international law.(6) Member States are being confronted on a regular basis with persons who were involved in such crimes and who are trying to enter and reside in the European Union.(7) The competent authorities of the Member States are to ensure that, where they receive information that a person who has applied for a residence permit is suspected of having committed or participated in the commission of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes, the relevant acts may be investigated, and, where justified, prosecuted in accordance with national law.(8) The relevant national law enforcement and immigration authorities, although having separate tasks and responsibilities, should cooperate very closely in order to enable effective investigation and prosecution of such crimes by the competent authorities that have jurisdiction at national level.(9) Member States should ensure that law enforcement authorities and immigration authorities have the appropriate resources and structures to enable their effective cooperation and the effective investigation and, as appropriate, prosecution of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.(10) The successful outcome of effective investigation and prosecution of such crimes also requires close cooperation at transnational level between authorities of the States Parties to the Rome Statute, including the Member States.(11) On 13 June 2002, the Council adopted Decision 2002/494/JHA setting up a European network of contact points in respect of persons responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes(3). Member States should ensure that full use is made of the contact points to facilitate cooperation between the competent international authorities.(12) In Council Common Position 2001/443/CFSP of 11 June 2001 on the International Criminal Court(4), the Member States declared that the crimes within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court are of concern for all Member States, which are determined to cooperate for the prevention of those crimes and for putting an end to the impunity of the perpetrators thereof,. ObjectiveThe aim of this Decision is to increase cooperation between national units in order to maximise the ability of law enforcement authorities in different Member States to cooperate effectively in the field of investigation and prosecution of persons who have committed or participated in the commission of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes as defined in Articles 6, 7 and 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court of 17 July 1998. Information to law enforcement authorities1. The Member States shall take the necessary measures in order for the law enforcement authorities to be informed when facts are established which give rise to a suspicion that an applicant for a residence permit has committed crimes as referred to in Article 1 which may lead to prosecution in a Member State or in international criminal courts.2. Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the relevant national law enforcement and immigration authorities are able to exchange the information, which they require in order to carry out their tasks effectively. Investigation and prosecution1. Member States shall assist one another in investigating and prosecuting the crimes referred to in Article 1 in accordance with relevant international agreements and national law.2. Where, in connection with the processing of an application for a residence permit, the immigration authorities become aware of facts which give rise to a suspicion that the applicant has participated in crimes referred to in Article 1, and where it emerges that the applicant has previously sought permission to reside in another Member State, the law enforcement authorities may apply to the competent law enforcement authorities in the latter Member State with a view to obtaining relevant information, including information from the immigration authorities.3. Insofar as the law enforcement authorities in a Member State become aware that a person suspected of crimes as referred to in Article 1 is in another Member State, they shall inform the competent authorities in the latter Member State of their suspicions and the basis thereof. Such information shall be provided in accordance with relevant international agreements and national law. StructuresMember States shall consider the need to set up or designate specialist units within the competent law enforcement authorities with particular responsibility for investigating and, as appropriate, prosecuting the crimes in question. Coordination and periodic meetings1. Member States shall coordinate ongoing efforts to investigate and prosecute persons suspected of having committed or participated in the commission of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes.2. At the Presidency's initiative, the contact points designated under Article 1 of Decision 2002/494/JHA, shall meet at regular intervals with a view to exchanging information about experiences, practices and methods. These meetings may take place in conjunction with meetings within the European Judicial Network and, depending on the circumstances, representatives from the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda, the International Criminal Court and other international bodies may also be invited to take part in such meetings.

That derogation is due to expire on 31 December 2010.(2) By letter dated 21 December 2009 Cape Verde submitted a request for an increase in the quantities granted for 2010 in respect of two of the three categories of fishery products covered by Regulation (EC) No 815/2008. By letter dated 8 June 2010, it submitted complementary information in support of this request.(3) The request set out that the originally granted total quantities for 2010 should respectively be increased to 3 600 tonnes for prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and 1 500 tonnes for prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel.(4) The total annual quantities originally granted have contributed, in 2008 and 2009, to a significant extent to the improvement of the situation in the fishery processing sector and, to a certain extent, to the revitalisation of Cape Verde’s artisanal fleet, which is of vital importance for that country. However, it appears that the completion of the envisaged revitalisation of the Cape Verdean fleet to the planned levels was affected by certain economic and geographical circumstances and thus further investments are needed.(5) The request demonstrates that in the absence of an increase of the quantities that may be traded under the derogation, the ability of the Cape Verdean fishing processing industry to continue its export to the European Union would be significantly affected, which might deter the further necessary investments.(6) An increase of the quantities of goods that may be traded under the derogation is therefore required to ensure that the revitalisation efforts of the local fishing fleet continue and thus improve its ability to supply the local fishery processing sector with originating fish.(7) The existing quotas are expected to be exhausted for the two categories of products concerned far before the end of 2010, which further justifies the need for an increase in the quantities granted for 2010. However, it does not appear appropriate to fully meet the amounts requested. In particular, account should be taken of the fact that there are already significant sourcing possibilities in originating fish as supplies from local vessels and bilateral cumulation can be used.(8) The quantities of the derogation for 2010 should therefore be raised to 2 500 tonnes for prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and to 875 tonnes for prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel fillets, which quantities are considered to be sufficient to allow the processing industry of Cape Verde to continue its exports to the European Union and support the efforts of the local authorities in ensuring that the revitalisation efforts of the local fishing fleet continue successfully.(9) Regulation (EC) No 815/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,. The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 815/2008 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

In principle, bilateral agreements, without any particular legal acts being necessary, continue to apply as far as they do not contradict obligatory EU law in general and Community law in particular. In certain areas, the MAFAs and AFAs provide for rules which are different from Community law whilst not being contrary to any binding provisions. However, it is appropriate to foresee that in respect of Sapard the new Member States should, as far as possible, follow the same rules as those which apply to any other areas of Community law.(3) It is therefore appropriate to provide for the continuation of the applicability of the MAFAs and AFAs subject to certain derogations and amendments. At the same time, certain provisions are no longer needed given the fact that the Community is no longer dealing with third countries but with Member States and that the new Member States will be directly submitted to provisions under Community law. Such MAFA provisions should therefore no longer apply.(4) Council Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 of 21 June 1999 on coordinating aid to the applicant countries in the framework of the pre-accession strategy and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89 (1) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 of 7 June 2000 laying down financial rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period (2) have been the legal bases for the Commission to confer the management of aid under the Special Accession Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (Sapard) on implementing agencies in the applicant countries, on a case-by-case basis. The MAFAs were concluded based on that possibility. However, in relation to Member States, Community law does not require a conferral of management procedure but an accreditation procedure at national level for paying agencies, referred to in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3). The MAFAs provide basically for an identical accreditation procedure in their Article 4 of Section A of the Annex. With regard to Member States there is, therefore, no longer a need to provide for a conferral of the management of aid. Therefore, derogation from these provisions is appropriate.(5) On 3 March 2004 the Commission decided on the conclusion of a new Agreement for the year 2003 amending the AFAs 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and the MAFA with the applicant countries. Meanwhile, the new Member States have joined the EU and there is no room for the conclusion of further bilateral agreements between the EU and these States in areas falling within the competences of the EU. Rather than concluding bilateral agreements with these States, the Commission should therefore include the substance of these envisaged agreements in this Regulation. In particular, the amounts committed in view of the AFA 2003 and decided upon by the Commission in that decision should now be incorporated in the present Regulation.(6) To allow a smooth transition from the pre-accession requirements, it is appropriate to provide for immediate entry into force and, with regard to certain provisions, a retrospective application of this Regulation.(7) The Treaty of Accession enables the Commission to adopt transitional measures for a period of three years as of the date of accession. Given the fact that certain programmes under the MAFAs/AFAs may still continue after accession it is appropriate to provide for the applicability of this Regulation until 30 April 2007.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development and of the Committee of the European Agriculture Guarantee and Guidance Fund,. Continuation of the applicability of the MAFAs and the AFAs after accession1.   Without prejudice to the continuation of the validity of the Multiannual Financing Agreements (hereinafter referred to as ‘MAFAs’) and the Annual Financing Agreements (hereinafter referred to as ‘AFAs’), as listed in Annex I, concluded between the European Commission, representing the European Community, on the one hand and the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia (hereinafter referred to as ‘the new Member States’) on the other, these Agreements shall continue to apply subject to the provisions of this Regulation.2.   Articles 2 and 4 of the MAFAs shall cease to apply.3.   The following provisions of the Annex to the MAFAs shall cease to apply:(a) Articles 1 and 3 of Section A; however, any references to these Articles in the MAFAs or AFAs shall be construed as referring to the national accreditation decision in accordance with Article 4 of Section A;(b) Article 14(2.6) and (2.7) of Section A;(c) Articles 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 of Section C;(d) Item 8 of Section F;(e) Section G.4.   Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 shall no longer apply to the new Member States with regard to the Special Accession Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (Sapard). Derogations from MAFA provisions and from Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000By way of derogation from the last subparagraph of Article 4(7) and Article 5(4) of Section A of the Annex to the MAFAs and Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000, the Commission shall immediately be informed of any modifications in the implementation or paying arrangements of the Sapard Agency after its accreditation. Amendment of the MAFAsThe following subparagraph is added to Article 10(3) of Section A of the Annex to the MAFAs:‘However, interest not accounted for by projects assisted under the programme of Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia, respectively, shall be paid to the Commission in euro’.

Amendment of Article 3 of AFAs 2000 to 2003At the end of Article 3 of each of the AFAs, the following subparagraph is added:‘Any part of the Community contribution referred to in Article 2 for which no contracts with the final beneficiaries have been signed as of the date referred to in the second subparagraph shall be notified to the Commission within three months of this amount being known’.

However the virus is still present in parts of the Community.(5) In addition, the effectiveness of the measures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 is influenced by a combination of factors. Those factors include the vector species, climate conditions and the type of husbandry of the susceptible ruminants.(6) It is therefore appropriate to continue to apply the transitional measure set out in Article 9a of Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007, taking into account that the disease situation is not stable and still evolving.

The completeness of the application was assessed in accordance with Article 4 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 (2). The Commission identified certain relevant information as missing in the original application and requested the Applicant to complete it. The Applicant provided the information on 30 January 2014. The application was found to be complete and the period for the Commission's assessment of the application started on the day following the date of official receipt, i.e. 31 January 2014.(2) The application has been assessed in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 and the Technical Guidelines for the preparation of applications for the approval of innovative technologies pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 (the Technical Guidelines) (3).(3) The application refers to the DENSO efficient alternator, for the output classes of 150A, 180A, and 210A. The alternator has an efficiency of at least 77 per cent as determined in accordance with the VDA approach described in point 5.1.2 in Annex I to the Technical Guidelines. That approach makes reference to the testing methodology specified in the International standard ISO 8854:2012 (4). The Applicant's alternator has an increased efficiency compared to the baseline alternator by reducing the following three losses: rectification losses by optimising the rectification by the use of a ‘MOSFET module’, i.e. by a use of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor; stator iron losses by the use of thin laminated core made by magnetic steel, and stator copper losses by the use of a ‘segment conductor’, which has higher space factor and shorter coil end. This technology is therefore different from the Valeo Efficient Generation Alternator approved as an eco-innovation by Commission Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU (5).(4) The Commission finds that the information provided in the application demonstrates that the conditions and criteria referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 and in Articles 2 and 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 have been met.(5) The Applicant has demonstrated that a high efficiency alternator of the kind described in this application did not exceed 3 % of the new passenger cars registered in the reference year 2009.(6) In order to determine the CO2 savings that the innovative technology will deliver when fitted to a vehicle, it is necessary to define the baseline vehicle against which the efficiency of the vehicle equipped with the innovative technology should be compared as provided for in Articles 5 and 8 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011. The Commission finds that it is appropriate to consider an alternator with 67 % efficiency as an appropriate baseline technology in the case the innovative technology is fitted on a new vehicle type. Where the DENSO efficient alternator is fitted to an existing vehicle type, the baseline technology should be the alternator of the most recent version of that type placed on the market.(7) The Applicant has provided a methodology for testing the CO2 reductions which includes formulae that are consistent with the formulae described in the Technical Guidelines for the simplified approach with regard to efficient alternators. The Commission considers that the testing methodology will provide testing results that are verifiable, repeatable and comparable and that it is capable of demonstrating in a realistic manner the CO2 emissions benefits of the innovative technology with strong statistical significance in accordance with Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011.(8) The Commission notes that the Applicant in its methodology has used a formula for calculating the standard deviation of the efficiency value of the alternator which increases the accuracy of the result as compared to the formula (1) in the methodology specified in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU. The Applicant's testing methodology and formulae to calculate the CO2 savings are in all other respects identical to the methodology specified in that Implementing Decision. As a consequence, the Commission considers that the methodology specified in Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU should be used to determine the reduction in CO2 emissions due to the use of the DENSO efficient alternator. However, in view of the improved accuracy due to the standard deviation calculation proposed by Denso, it is appropriate to adjust formula (1) set out in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU. The adjustment should not affect any CO2 savings certified using the methodology laid down in Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU prior to the entry into force of this Implementing Decision.(9) Against that background the Commission finds that the Applicant has demonstrated satisfactorily that the emission reduction achieved by the innovative technology is at least 1 g CO2/km.(10) The Commission notes that the savings of the innovative technology may be partially demonstrated on the standard test cycle, and the final total savings to be certified should therefore be determined in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 8(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011.(11) The Commission finds that the verification report has been prepared by the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) which is an independent and certified body and that the report supports the findings set out in the application.(12) Against that background, the Commission finds that no objections should be raised as regards the approval of the innovative technology in question.(13) For the purposes of determining the general eco-innovation code to be used in the relevant type approval documents in accordance with Annexes I, VIII and IX to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), the individual code to be used for the innovative technology approved through this Implementing Decision should be specified,(14) Any manufacturer wishing to benefit from a reduction of its average specific CO2 emissions for the purpose of meeting its specific emissions target by means of the CO2 savings from the use of the innovative technology approved by this Implementing Decision, should in accordance with Article 11(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011, refer to this Implementing Decision in its application for an EC type-approval certificate for the vehicles concerned,. 1.   The DENSO efficient alternator having an efficiency of at least 77 per cent by reducing three different losses and intended for use in M1 vehicles is approved as an innovative technology within the meaning of Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009.2.   The CO2 emissions reduction from the use of the alternator referred to in paragraph 1 shall be determined using the methodology set out in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/341/EU.3.   In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 11(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011, the CO2 emission reduction determined in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article, may only be certified and entered into the certificate of conformity and relevant type approval documentation specified in Annexes I, VIII and IX to Directive 2007/46/EC where the reductions are on or above the threshold specified in Article 9(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011.4.   The individual eco-innovation code to be entered into type approval documentation to be used for the innovative technology approved through this Implementing Decision shall be ‘6’.

However, the quantitative limit should be fixed per marketing year in view of the possible opportunities on the export markets.(3) For certain Union producers of sugar and isoglucose, exports from the Union represent an important part of their economic activities and they have established traditional markets outside the Union. Exports of sugar and isoglucose to those markets could be economically viable also without granting export refunds. To that end it is necessary to fix a quantitative limit for out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose exports so that the EU producers concerned may continue to supply their traditional markets.(4) For the 2012/2013 marketing year it is estimated that fixing the quantitative limit initially at 650 000 tonnes, in white sugar equivalent, for out-of-quota sugar exports and 70 000 tonnes, in dry matter, for out-of-quota isoglucose would correspond to the market demand.(5) Exports of sugar from the Union to certain close destinations and to third countries granting Union products a preferential import treatment are currently in a particularly favourable competitive position. In view of the absence of appropriate instruments of mutual assistance to fight against irregularities and in order to minimise the risk of fraud and to prevent any abuse associated with the reimport or reintroduction into the Union of out-of-quota sugar, certain close destinations should be excluded from the eligible destinations.(6) In view of the estimated lower risks for eventual frauds regarding isoglucose due to the nature of the product it is not necessary to restrict the eligible destinations for the export of out-of-quota isoglucose.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,.

whereas coordination of requirements for this regular information has similar objectives to those envisaged for the listing particulars, namely to improve such protection and to make it more equivalent, to facilitate the listing of these securities on more than one stock exchange in the Community, and in so doing to contribute towards the establishment of a genuine Community capital market by permitting a fuller interpenetration of securities markets;Whereas, under Council Directive 79/279/EEC of 5 March 1979 coordinating the conditions for the admission of securities to official stock-exchange listing (5), listed companies must as soon as possible make available to investors their annual accounts and report giving information on the company for the whole of the financial year; whereas the fourth Directive 78/660/EEC (6) has coordinated the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning the annual accounts of certain types of companies;Whereas companies should also, at least once during each financial year, make available to investors reports on their activities; whereas this Directive can, consequently, be confined to coordinating the content and distribution of a single report covering the first six months of the financial year;Whereas, however, in the case of ordinary debentures, because of the rights they confer on their holders, the protection of investors by means of the publication of a half-yearly report is not essential; whereas, by virtueof Directive 79/279/EEC, convertible or exchangeable debentures and debentures with warrants may be admitted to official listing only if the related shares are already listed on the same stock exchange or on another regulated, regularly operating, recognized open market or are so admitted simultaneously; whereas the Member States may derogate from this principle only if their competent authorities are satisfied that holders have at their disposal all the information necessary to form an opinion concerning the value of the shares to which these debentures relate; whereas, consequently, regular information needs to be coordinated only for companies whose shares are admitted to official stock-exchange listing;Whereas the half-yearly report must enable investors to make an informed appraisal of the general development of the company's activities during the period covered by the report; whereas, however, this report need contain only the essential details on the financial position and general progress of the business of the company in question;Whereas, in order to take account of difficulties resulting from the current state of laws in certain Member States, companies may be allowed a longer period to implement the provisions of this Directive than that laid down for the adaptation of national laws;Whereas, so as to ensure the effective protection of investors and the proper operation of stock exchanges, the rules relating to regular information to be published by companies, the shares of which are admitted to official stock-exchange listing within the Community, should apply not only to companies from Member States, but also to companies from non-member countries. SECTION IGeneral provisions and scope 1. This Directive shall apply to companies the shares of which are admitted to official listing on a stock exchange situated or operating in a Member State, whether the admission is of the shares themselves or of certificates representing them and whether such admission precedes or follows the date on which this Directive enters into force.2. This Directive shall not, however, apply to investment companies other than those of the closed-end type.For the purposes of this Directive 'investment companies other than those of the closed-end type' shall mean investment companies:- the object of which is the collective investment of capital provided by the public, and which operate on the principle of risk spreading, and- the shares of which are, at the holders' request, repurchased or redeemed, directly or indirectly, out of those companies' assets. Action taken by such companies to ensure that the stock-exchange value of their shares does not significantly vary from their net asset value shall be regarded as equivalent to such repurchase or redemption.3. The Member States may exclude central banks from the scope of this Directive. The Member States shall ensure that the companies publish half-yearly reports on their activities and profits and losses during the first six months of each financial year. The Member States may subject companies to obligations more stringent than those provided for by this Directive or to additional obligations, provided that they apply generally to all companies or to all companies of a given class.SECTION IIPublication and contentsof the half-yearly report 1. The half-yearly report shall be published within four months of the end of the relevant six-month period.2. In exceptional, duly substantiated cases, the competent authorities shall be permitted to extend the time limit for publication. 1. The half-yearly report shall consist of figures and an explanatory statement relating to the company's activities and profits and losses during the relevant six-month period.2. The figures, presented in table form, shall indicate at least:- the net turnover, and- the profit or loss before or after deduction of tax.These terms shall have the same meanings as in the Council Directives on company accounts.3. The Member States may allow the competent authorities to authorize companies, exceptionally and on a case-by-case basis, to supply estimated figures for profits and losses, provided that the shares of each such company are listed officially in only one Member State. The use of this procedure must be indicated by the company in its report and must not mislead investors.4. Where the company has paid or proposes to pay an interim dividend, the figures must indicate the profit or loss after tax for the six-month period and the interim dividend paid or proposed.5. Against each figure there must be shown the figure for the corresponding period in the preceding financial year.6. The explanatory statement must include any significant information enabling investors to make an informed assessment of the trend of the company's activities and profits or losses together with an indication of any special factor which has influenced those activities and those profits or losses during the period in question, and enable a comparison to be made with the corresponding period of the preceding financial year.It must also, as far as possible, refer to the company's likely future development in the current financial year.7. Where the figures provided for in paragraph 2 are unsuited to the company's activities, the competent authorities shall ensure that appropriate adjustments are made. Where a company publishes consolidated accounts it may publish its half-yearly report in either consolidated or unconsolidated form. However, the Member States may allow the competent authorities, where the latter consider that the form not adopted would have contained additional material information, to require the company to publish such information. 1. The half-yearly report must be published in the Member State or Member States where the shares are admitted to official listing by insertion in one or more newspapers distributed throughout the State or widely distributed therein or in the national gazette, or shall be made available to the public either in writing in places indicated by announcement to be published in one or more newspapers distributed throughout the State or widely distributed therein, or by other equivalent means approved by the competent authorities.2. A half-yearly report must be drawn up in the official language or languages or in one of the official languages or in another language, provided that, in the Member State concerned, such official language or languages or such other language are customary in the sphere of finance and are accepted by the competent authorities.3. The company shall send a copy of its half-yearly report simultaneously to the competent authorities of each Member State in which its shares are admitted to official listing. It shall do so not later than the time when the half-yearly report is published for the first time in a Member State. Where the accounting information has been audited by the official auditor of the company's accounts, that auditor's report and any qualifications he may have shall be reproduced in full.SECTION IIIPowers of the competent authorities 1. Member States shall appoint one or more competent authorities and shall notify the Commission of the appointment of such authorities, giving details of any division of powers among them. Member States shall also ensure that this Directive is applied.2. The Member States shall ensure that the competent authorities have the necessary powers to carry out their task.3. Where particular requirements of this Directive are unsuited to a company's activities or circumstances, the competent authorities shall ensure that suitable adaptations are made to such requirements.4. The competent authorities may authorize the omission from the half-yearly report of certain information provided for in this Directive if they consider that disclosure of such information would be contrary to the public interest or seriously detrimental to the company, provided that, in the latter case, such omission would not be likely to mislead the public with regard to facts and circumstances knowledge of which is essential for the assessment of the shares in question.The company or its representatives shall be responsible for the correctness and relevance of the facts on which any application for such exemption is based.5. Paragraphs 3 and 4 shall also apply to the more stringent or additional obligations imposed pursuant to Article 3.6. If a company governed by the law of a non-member country publishes a half-yearly report in a non-member country, the competent authorities may authorize it to publish that report instead of the half-yearly report provided for in this Directive, provided that the information given is equivalent to that which would result from the application of this Directive.7. This Directive shall not affect the competent authorities' liability, which shall continue to be governed solely by national law.SECTION IVCooperation between Member States 01. The competent authorities shall cooperate whenever necessary for the purpose of carrying out their duties and shall exchange any information required for that purpose.2. Where a half-yearly report has to be published in more than one Member State, the competent authorities of these Member States shall, by way of derogation from Article 3, use their best endeavours to accept as a single text the text which meets the requirements of the Member State in which the company's shares were admitted to official listing for the first time or the text which most closely approximates to that text. In cases of simultaneous admission to official listing on two or more stock exchanges situated or operating in different Member States, the competent authorities of the Member States concerned shall use their best endeavours to accept as a single text the text of the report which meets the requirements of the Member State in which the company's head office is situated; if the company's head office is situated in a non-member country, the competent authorities of the Member States concerned shall use their best endeavours to accept a single version of the report.SECTION VContact Committee 11. The Contact Committee set up by Article 20 of Directive 79/279/EEC shall also have as its function:(a) without prejudice to Articles 169 and 170 of the Treaty to facilitate the harmonized implementation of this Directive through regular consultations on any practical problems arising from its application on which exchanges of views are deemed useful;(b) to facilitate consultation between the Member States on the more stringent or additional obligations which they may impose pursuant to Article 3 with a view to the ultimate convergence of obligations imposed in all Member States, in accordance with Article 54 (3) (g) of the Treaty;(c) to advise the Commission, if necessary, on any additions or amendments to be made to this Directive; in particular, the Committee shall consider the possible modification of Articles 3 and 5 in the light of progress towards the convergence of obligations referred to in (b) above.2. Within five years of notification of this Directive, the Commission shall, after consulting the Contact Committee, submit to the Council a report on the application of Articles 3 and 5 and on such modifications as it would be possible to make thereto.SECTION VIFinal provisions 21. Member States shall bring into force the measures necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 30 June 1983. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.2. Member States may postpone application of the measures referred to in paragraph 1 until 36 months from the date on which they bring such measures into force.3.

THE FACTSThis Decision concerns the undeclared export of nuclear material from Spain to the United States of America by Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA, hereinafter referred to as 'Enusa`, during the month of February 1997.Enusa is the operator of a nuclear fuel fabrication plant, 'Fรกbrica de Elementos Combustibles de Juzbado`, located in Juzbado, Salamanca (Spain). The nuclear material required for this industrial activity is purchased in the form of uranium dioxide powder which is transported from its suppliers to Juzbado in drums which, after having been emptied, are shipped back to the supplier. A regular supplier of this uranium dioxide is, among others, General Electric in Wilmington, North Carolina (USA), hereinafter referred to as 'GE`.Following a letter of 19 March 1997 from Enusa to the Euratom Safeguards Directorate of the Commission to which was attached a report made by Enusa relating to the incident which is the subject of this Decision, and the hearing held in Luxembourg in the offices of the Commission on 16 April 1997, the following facts were established and are agreed between Enusa and the Commission:- during December 1996, six drums containing 13 kilograms of natural uranium, 65 826 grams of uranium enriched to 3,95 %, and 3 675 grams of uranium enriched to 4,4 % needed to be stored on the premises of the installation. The selected storage area was the same hall as that in which Enusa routinely stored full drums received from their uranium dioxide suppliers, and where also such drums are collected after being emptied for shipping back to the original supplier,- since this storage area was located outside the controlled area, the six drums needed packaging, which was done in a way very similar to the way empty drums are conditioned for shipments as well: the same type of transport containers (three in total) were used for that purpose,- according to internal procedures, these three full transport containers should have been properly labelled and sealed in order to indicate clearly that they contained nuclear material and were not empty. Also, the transfer to that storage area should have been registered in the plant computer. In this case however, seals were correctly applied but no labels were attached on the transport containers and also the transfer to that storage area was not booked in,- as a result, the three full transport containers stood in the same room as the empty containers, and this was also the room from where shipments of empty containers were organized. The three abovementioned full containers could therefore only be distinguished from the empty one by the existence of a tiny seal; otherwise the outward appearance was identical,- during this time a control of the physical existence of articles containing nuclear material was carried out in accordance with internal control procedures. This control revealed that the six drums in question were missing from the process area. Thereupon the employee in charge deleted all six items from the inventory list, an action for which he had the appropriate access rights. He did not report his findings any further,- when a routine return shipment of 150 containers with empty drums to GE was prepared on 20 January 1997, it passed unnoticed that three of these containers were not empty. The internal procedures required a radiological check of each container but this measurement action of the operator did not reveal the presence of any nuclear material. It was not noticed that the phenomenon of sealed containers without labels was a procedurally incorrect situation, and the seal number on the seals were not checked or reported,- the three filled containers were shipped together with the empty ones to GE on 5 February 1997.- following receipt of them, on 7 March 1997 GE noticed that some of the containers were not empty and notified Enusa of its findings. Enusa started an immediate investigation; a first result confirmed the existence of a shipment error,- on 8 March 1997 Enusa notified the Safeguards Directorate of the Commission of the occurrence,- on 19 March 1997 Enusa submitted to the Safeguards Directorate of the Commission a special report as provided for by Article 4 (2) of the Particular Safeguards Provisions.II. LEGAL ASSESSMENTA. The legal provisionsBy virtue of its activities, Enusa is an undertaking falling within the terms of Article 196 (b) of the Treaty. It is therefore subject to the provisions of Chapter 7, Title II, of the Treaty; to Commission Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 of 19 October 1976 concerning the application of the provisions on Euratom safeguards (1), as last amended by Regulation (Euratom) No 2130/93 (2); and to the Commission Decision of 23 March 1995 laying down the Particular Safeguards Provisions for this undertaking.Under Article 77 of the Treaty, the Commission must satisfy itself that, in the territories of the Member States:(a) ores, source materials and special fissile materials are not diverted from their intended uses as declared by the users;(b) the provisions relating to supply and any particular safeguarding obligations assumed by the Community under an agreement concluded with a third State or an international organization are complied with.In addition, the Commission also requires, in accordance with Article 79 of the Treaty, that operating records be kept and produced in order to permit accounting for ores, source materials and special fissile materials used or produced. The same requirement applies in the case of the transport of source materials and special fissile materials.Under Article 10 of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76, the undertaking must keep accounting records which show, amongst other information, all inventory changes for each material balance area, so as to permit a determination of the book inventory at any time.Thus, for all inventory changes, the accounting records must show, in respect of each batch of nuclear material, material identification, batch data and source data. These records must account separately for uranium, thorium and plutonium in each batch of nuclear material. Moreover for each inventory change, the date of the inventory change and, when appropriate, the dispatching material balance area and the receiving material balance area or the recipient, must be indicated.Article 11 of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 lays down that, for each material balance area, the operating records shall include, amongst other information, those operating data which are used to establish changes in the quantities and composition of the nuclear material.Finally, for export activities, Article 24 of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 lays down that:(a) persons and undertakings must give advance notification to the Commission of each export of source or special fissile materials. However, advance notification is required only:(i) where the consignment exceeds one effective kilogram (3);(ii) where the Particular Safeguards Provisions so specify, in the case of installations habitually transferring large total quantities of materials to the same State, even though no single consignment exceeds one effective kilogram;(b) such notification must be given after the conclusion of the contractual arrangements leading to the transfer and in any case in time to reach the Commission eight working days before the material is to be prepared for shipment;(c) such notification must be given in accordance with the form set out in Annex V to the said Regulation.As regards the conditions under which advance notification is required for entry and exit operations, the Particular Safeguards Provisions for Enusa established by the Decision of 23 March 1995 lay down that advance notification is also required for exports of less than one effective kilogram.In addition to this notification, and to allow cross-checks to be carried out, Article 32 of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 lays down that any person or undertaking engaged, within the territories of the Member States, in carrying or temporarily storing source or special fissile materials during shipment may accept them, or hand them over only against a duly signed and dated receipt. This must state the names of the parties handing over and receiving the materials and the quantities carried, together with the nature, form and compositions of the materials.B. The infringements establishedFollowing an examination of the facts acknowledged by Enusa, it has been established that the undeclared export of nuclear material to the United States led to the following infringements being committed:1. breach of the provisions on the recording of inventory changes laid down in Article 10 (a) of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76;2. breach of the provisions on operating records laid down in Article 11 (a) of that Regulation, particularly as regards those operating data which are used to establish changes in the quantities and composition of the nuclear material;3. failure to give advance notification of export as laid down in Article 24 of that Regulation, in conjunction with code 1.3.2 of the Particular Safeguards Provisions.Lastly, there has also been a breach of Article 32 of the Regulation. Since it was not notified by Enusa of the quantity, nature and composition of the nuclear material, the carrier was not able to issue the acceptance receipt by means of which verification is possible.C. The sanction to be appliedUnder the terms of Article 83 (1) of the Treaty, in the event of an infringement on the part of persons or undertakings of the obligations imposed on them, the Commission may impose sanctions on such persons or undertakings.These sanctions are in order of severity:(a) a warning;(b) the withdrawal of special benefits such as financial or technical assistance;(c) the placing of the undertaking for a period not exceeding four months under the administration of a person or board appointed by common accord of the Commission and the State having jurisdiction over the undertaking;(d) total or partial withdrawal of source materials or special fissile materials.Given that the determining criterion for application of this Article is the seriousness of the infringement committed, it is first necessary to carry out both an objective and a subjective analysis of the nature of the offences.From an objective point of view, it appears that the provisions breached are essential elements of Community legislation in the field of safeguards, and that observance of them is essential if the aim set out in Article 77 of the Treaty is to be attained.Moreover, the facts established made it impossible for the Commission to carry out the task assigned to it in Article 2 (e) of the Treaty, namely to 'make certain, by appropriate supervision, that nuclear materials are not diverted to purposes other than those for which they are intended`.It should be noted here that the Commission attaches particular importance to the control of exports of nuclear materials, especially in cases where they could be enriched to levels where it would be of strategic value.From a subjective point of view, it seems that there was no ulterior motive behind the actions and that these should not be seen as a form of diversion. Also, the inspectors of the Commission established that the facts occurred primarily as a result of non-compliance with internal working procedures due to human error of individual employees of Enusa. These working procedures can be improved further. However, it is observed that had they been followed correctly, the facts could not have occurred.Moreover, there have been no problems of substance since the Commission started applying safeguards in the installation in 1986. At each annual inventory verification of materials held, only minimal differences between the physical inventory and the book inventory were determined. The operator consistently showed an attitude of attention and awareness of matters concerning the safeguards.In assessing both the objective and the objective factors set out above the Commission considers that the infringement committed by Enusa is such that a sanction is warranted.Given the circumstances, in particular that there are no special benefits to Enusa such as financial or technical assistance, the Commission is of the view that the appropriate sanction to impose is that laid down in Article 83 (1) (a) of the Treaty.Finally, the warning of the Commission should set out the action to be taken by Enusa to preclude events of this nature in the future, all the more so since Enusa carries out such container transfer operations on a regular basis, and intends to continue doing so.To this end Enusa shall provide the Commission within three months following this warning with a report on the actions it has undertaken in the following fields:1. the procedures of personnel training;2. the definition of access rights in the computer system used for nuclear materials accountancy;3. the internal provisions that influence how to make the proper distinction between empty and full containers;4. the procedures and practical tools used for physical verifications of incoming/outgoing material;5. the documentation and proper application of any modifications and improvements on points 1 to 4.Moreover, the Commission's inspectors should be enabled to verify their implementation by one or more inspections of the situation of all five abovementioned points so that they may drawn up an assessment report,. Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA has infringed Article 79 of the Euratom Treaty as implemented by Articles 10, 11 and 24 of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 and in code 3.1.2. of the Commission Decision of 23 March 1995 on Particular Safeguards Provisions, through:(a) its failure to give advance notification of an export;(b) its breach of the regulations on recording inventory changes;(c) its breach of the regulations applicable to those operating data which are used to establish changes in the quantities and composition of the nuclear material. 1. The Commission issues a warning to Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA.2. The warning is imposed with the requirement that the infringements listed in Article 1 be rectified so that they do not recur during future operations.3. Based on the report referred to in Article 3 and its own verifications the Commission will assess the compliance of Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA with the requirement set out in paragraph 2.4. If Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA does not provide the Commission with the report referred to in Article 3 (1) or if any of the infringements listed in Article 1 are not rectified, the Commission will consider imposing a further sanction. 1. Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA shall provide the Commission within three months of the date of notification of this Decision with an implementation report describing the measures taken to rectify the infringements listed in Article 1, and this in the following fields:(a) the procedures of personnel training;(b) the definition of access rights in the computer system used for nuclear materials accountancy;(c) the internal provisions that influence how to make the proper distinction between empty and full containers;(d) the procedures and practical tools used for physical verifications of incoming/outgoing material;(e) the documentation and proper application of any modifications and improvements on points (a) to (d).2. Following receipt of the report, the Commission's inspectors will verify the implementation of points (a) to (e) mentioned in paragraph 1 in Empresa Nactional del Uranio, SA. The Commission's assessment referred to in Article 2 (3) will be based on these verifications.3. Empresa Nacional del Uranio, SA will grant the Commission's inspectors, in addition to their rights set out in the Treaty, access to all documents, offices and staff, in order to ensure that the verification as mentioned in paragraph 2 can be completed. 1.

Fruit, vegetables and cereals, fresh or processed3.2.   Description of the product to which the name in point 1 applies‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ is a storage onion cultivated on terraces. It is pearly white to coppery in colour, with a roundish to elongated bulb, a shiny appearance and fine and translucent tunics. The scales are thick with a white, moderately firm and juicy flesh. The dry matter content is less than 10 %. Eaten raw, the flesh is crunchy but not sharp or bitter and has a fine, balanced flavour. Eaten cooked, it keeps its shine and becomes translucent, unctuous, juicy and sugary in taste, with no bitterness and a roasted, chestnut flavour.Onions packaged after 15 May of the year following the year of harvest may not bear the protected designation of origin ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’. The onions must be marketed in the original packaging used exclusively for the designation. Marketing may not begin before 1 August of the year of harvest.3.3.   Raw materials (for processed products only)—3.4.   Feed (for products of animal origin only)—3.5.   Specific steps in production that must take place in the defined geographical areaThe onions must be sown and produced in the geographical area.3.6.   Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc.Packaging takes place in the geographical area defined in point 4 of this single document. It is carried out in packaging plants identified by the group. The method used to close the package must be such that the package cannot be closed again once it has been opened. The onions are packaged in boxes and plastic film with a maximum capacity of 12 kg or in mesh bags with a maximum capacity of 5 kg.Packaging must be done in the prescribed geographical area to maintain quality.The onions are packaged by the producer or are delivered to a packaging plant. Packaging within the prescribed area prevents excessive handling. This in turn preserves the onions’ characteristics, in particular their fine, translucent and very fragile tunics, and does not alter the product. Lastly, organoleptic and analytical testing, which ensures that the onions comply with the organoleptic profile, is done by sampling packaged batches.3.7.   Specific rules concerning labellingEach package of onions to be granted the designation bears a label indicating at least the following:— the name of the protected designation of origin ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ written in a font at least as large as the largest font used on the label,— ‘AOP’ and/or ‘appellation d’origine protégée’, which must appear immediately before or after the name of the designation with no text in between,— the European Union PDO logo,— the name of the packager,— the date of packaging,— a specific identification number.The identification number corresponds to the producer code followed by the parcel code. For packages of a maximum of 5 kg it may be replaced by a code covering batches entered on the same day.4.   Concise definition of the geographical areaThe production area of the PDO ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ extends over the territories of the following 32 municipalities of the Department of Gard:Arphy; Arre; Arrigas; Aulas; Aumessas; Avèze; Bez-et-Esparon; Bréau-et-Salagosse; Colognac; Cros; Lasalle; Mandagout; Mars; Molières-Cavaillac; Monoblet; Notre-Dame-de-la-Rouvière; Pommiers; Roquedur; Saint-André-de-Majencoules; Saint-André-de-Valborgne; Saint-Bonnet-de-Salendrinque; Saint-Bresson; Sainte-Croix-de-Caderle; Saint-Julien-de-la-Nef; Saint-Laurent-le-Minier; Saint-Martial; Saint-Roman-de-Codières; Soudorgues; Sumène; Vabres; Valleraugue; Vigan (le).5.   Link with the geographical area5.1.   Specificity of the geographical areaThe geographical area of the PDO ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ extends principally over granitic and schistose rocks on the southeast edge of the Massif Central and, in particular, along the slopes of the massif de l’Aigoual (1 565 m). The climate, which is Mediterranean, is characterised by summer drought and large amounts of rainfall in the autumn and to a lesser extent in the spring, the average being 1 500 mm. Temperatures also fluctuate greatly. There is plenty of sunshine in the summer, while the weather is rather cold from autumn to spring, with occasional snowfall. The average annual temperature is 12-13 °C.The hilly topography of Cévennes consists of ridges, the ‘serres’, that alternate with deep and narrow valleys that are oriented towards the northwest/southeast, the ‘valats’. The slope effect on these steep slopes leads to marked climatic contrasts, and the strong equinox rains accentuate erosion, sometimes causing devastating floods. In order to manage this topography, Cévennes farmers have transformed the slopes into terraces by identifying slightly deeper silted-up land and by building over large areas walls made of dry stones, a typical feature of the Cévennes landscape.5.2.   Specificity of the productThe organoleptic qualities of ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ has earned it a regional as well as a national reputation: the onion is characterised by great sweetness without any bitterness or sharpness, and a juiciness that gives it a very pleasant texture in the mouth, whether raw or cooked.Furthermore, it is visually recognisable and appreciated owing to its roundish to elongated bulb, its shininess, its pearly white, sometimes coppery, colour and its fine and translucent skins.Its low dry matter content (less than 10 %) does not prevent it from keeping well until the end of winter.5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)Cultivated on the southern slopes of the Massif Central, ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ is an original and specific onion, in terms of both its cultivation method and its physical and gustatory qualities.In this particular environment man has known how to manage the land in order to take advantage of it, select a well-adapted variety and develop cultivation techniques that highlight a special product.The natural constraints of the geographical area — the scarcity of level surfaces and the damage caused by erosion — have obliged farmers to organise the available space so that it can be used efficiently. The terracing of land, which is gravity-irrigated by the Béal, a canal bringing water from upstream rivers, rapidly became widespread starting in the 18th century and made it possible to increase the meagre farmable land areas. This helped feed a sizeable population and also protected the soil against erosion.Fruits and vegetables were cultivated on the terraces that had the most favourable orientation and were half-way down the slope, irrigable and close to the hamlets. Soils formed from the decomposition of granites and schists are acid, sandy, filtering and poor in clay. Often they are fertilised with manure from neighbouring sheep and goat farms. Sweet onions started being cultivated in the area, first as a food crop before becoming a genuine form of agricultural production. The parcels where the onion had traditionally been grown, sometimes for more than 50 years, were called ‘Cébières’.The traditional variety, improved and maintained by producers for many generations on the basis of appearance, sweetness and keeping properties, is well adapted to the local climate: it is a long-day plant, which is sowed in January in the most favourably oriented parcels so that it can benefit from the spring warmth. It is then transplanted manually and irrigated regularly; the bulbs are harvested at the end of summer, before the equinox rains of September. In this way they can dry in the field and be preserved in good, healthy conditions.The cultural practices and the natural environment affect the characteristics of the onion throughout its growth cycle. Vigorous seedlings are obtained rapidly by sowing on the best parcels. With precise manual transplanting it is possible to optimise plant densities in order to be able to harvest bulbs having a sufficient size and a harmonious appearance, without any flat sides. The soil’s poor clay content contributes to the sweetness of the onion but its sandy texture keeps the water reserves low. Therefore irrigation is necessary during the summer, and water is provided regularly in small amounts. This prevents waste and, above all, limits the hydric stress of the plant and the appearance of bitter and sharp tastes but keeps the scales juicy. Finally, parcels oriented towards the northeast to southwest are selected while moist valley bottoms are avoided so that the onions can be cultivated only on parcels with favourable microclimates. This results in earlier ripeness, with a smaller risk of plant-health problems. Consequently inputs can be reduced and the product keeps better.The combination of natural factors in the geographical area, used effectively by farmers who have known how to employ the potential of the environment to the best advantage, have enabled all the original characteristics of ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ to be brought out.Reference to publication of the specification(Article 5(7) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006)https://www.inao.gouv.fr/fichier/CDCOignonDouxDesCevennes.pdf(1)  Replaced by Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs. +",France;French Republic;Languedoc-Roussillon;bulb vegetable;garlic;onion;scallion;shallot;designation of origin;PDO;PGI;certificate of designation of origin;protected designation of origin;protected geographical indication;registered designation of origin;product designation;product description;product identification;product naming;substance identification;labelling,21 +43379,"2014/369/EU: Council Decision of 13 May 2014 on the conclusion, on behalf of the European Union, of the Protocol between the European Union and the Union of the Comoros setting out the fishing opportunities and financial contribution provided for in the Fisheries Partnership Agreement currently in force between the two parties. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43, in conjunction with Article 218(6)(a) and (7) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament,Whereas:(1) On 5 October 2006, the Council approved the Partnership Agreement in the fisheries sector between the European Community and the Union of the Comoros (the ‘Partnership Agreement’) by means of Regulation (EC) No 1563/2006 (1).(2) The European Union has negotiated with the Union of the Comoros a new protocol to the Partnership Agreement granting vessels of the European Union fishing opportunities in Comoros waters.(3) That new protocol was signed on the basis of Council Decision 2013/786/EU (2), and is provisionally applicable as from 1 January 2014.(4) It is in the interest of the European Union to implement the Partnership Agreement by means of a Protocol establishing the fishing opportunities and the corresponding financial contribution, and setting out the conditions for promoting responsible and sustainable fishing in Comoros waters.(5) The Partnership Agreement sets up a Joint Committee which is responsible for monitoring the application of this Agreement.

The duties and quantities as referred to in this Regulation have been fixed in accordance with international agreements in force during the year 2003. Accordingly it is necessary to prepare this Commission Regulation establishing Community tariff quotas for 2003 for sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat falling within CN codes 0104 10 30, 0104 10 80, 0104 20 90, 0210 99 21, 0210 99 29 and 0204.(7) A carcasse-weight equivalent needs to be fixed in order to ensure a proper functioning of the Community tariff quotas; furthermore, since certain tariff quotas provide the option of importing either the live animals or their meat, a conversion factor is required.(8) Community tariff quotas must be managed in accordance with the rules laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1439/95(14).(9) With regard to sheepmeat products it is difficult to establish, at the moment of their submission for import to the customs authorities, whether these products originate from domestic sheep or other than domestic sheep. It is, therefore, appropriate to provide that the document of origin contains a clarification to this end.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheepmeat and Goatmeat,. This Regulation opens Community tariff quotas for the sheepmeat and goatmeat sectors for the period 1 January to 31 December 2003. The customs duties applicable to imports into the Community of sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat falling within CN codes 0104 10 30, 0104 10 80, 0104 20 90, 0210 99 21, 0210 99 29 and 0204 originating in the countries indicated in the Annex shall be suspended or reduced in accordance with the provisions laid down in this Regulation. 1. The quantities of meat, expressed in carcasse-weight equivalent, falling within CN code 0204 and for which the customs duty, applicable to imports originating in the specific supplying countries listed, is reduced to zero for the period between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2003 shall be those laid down for country group No 1 of the Annex.2. The quantities of live animals and meat expressed as carcasse-weight equivalent, falling within CN codes 0104 10 30, 0104 10 80, 0104 20 90 and 0204 and for which the customs duty, applicable to imports originating in the specific supplying countries listed, is reduced to zero for the period between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2003 shall be those laid down for country group No 2 of the Annex.3. The quantities of meat, expressed in carcasse-weight equivalent, falling within CN code 0204 and for which the customs duty, applicable to imports originating in the specific supplying countries listed, is reduced to zero for the period between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2003 shall be those laid down for country group No 3 of the Annex.4. The quantities live animals and meat, expressed in carcasse-weight equivalent, falling within CN codes 0104 10 30, 0104 10 80, 0104 20 90, 0210 99 21, 0210 99 29 and 0204 and for which the customs duty, applicable to imports originating in the specific supplying countries listed, is suspended or reduced as indicated for the period between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2003 shall be those laid down for country group No 4 of the Annex.5. The quantities of live animals and meat, expressed as carcasse-weight equivalent, falling within CN codes 0104 10 30, 0104 10 80, 0104 20 90 and 0204 and for which the customs duty, applicable to imports originating in the specific supplying countries listed, is suspended or reduced as indicated for the period between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2003 shall be those laid down for country group No 5 of the Annex. 1. The tariff quotas provided for in country groups Nos 1 and 2 of the Annex to this Regulation shall be managed in accordance with the rules laid down in Title II(A) of Regulation (EC) No 1439/95.2. The tariff quotas provided for in country groups Nos 3, 4 and 5 of the Annex to this Regulation shall be managed in accordance with the rules laid down in Title II(B) of Regulation (EC) No 1439/95. 1. The term ""carcasse-weight equivalent"" referred to in Article 3 shall be taken to mean the weight of bone-in meat presented as such, and also boned meat converted by a coefficient into bone-in weight. For this purpose 55 kilograms of boned mutton or goatmeat other than kid corresponds to 100 kilograms of bone-in mutton or goatmeat other than kid and 60 kilograms of boned lamb or kid corresponds to 100 kilograms of bone-in lamb or kid.2. Where the option is available, under the agreements between the Community and certain supplier countries, of allowing imports in the form of live animals or as meat, 100 kilograms of live animals shall be considered to be equivalent to 47 kilograms of bone-in meat. The document of origin accompanying sheep meat products falling under CN codes ex 0204, ex 0210 99 21 and ex 0210 99 29 and as referred to under country group No 4 of the Annex, shall, in box No 9, contain an indication if such products originate from sheep other than domestic sheep. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.It shall apply from 1 January 2003.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

The detailed rules for applying those arrangements are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2808/98(2). That Regulation determines the operative events for the applicable conversion rates on the basis of the criteria set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98, without prejudice to further details to be specified or derogations to be provided for, where necessary, by regulations covering the product groups concerned. The operative events for the conversion rates applicable to products in the fruit and vegetables sector and to processed fruit and vegetable products should therefore be laid down and grouped in a single regulation.(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(3) and Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products(4) have been frequently amended. In the interests of clarity, Commission Regulation (EC) No 293/98 of 4 February 1998 determining the operative events applicable to products in the fruit and vegetables sector, to processed fruit and vegetable products and partly to live plants and floricultural products and to certain products listed in Annex II to the EC Treaty, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1445/93(5) should be repealed and replaced by a new regulation.(3) The second subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1432/2003 of 11 August 2003 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 regarding the conditions for recognition of producer organisations and preliminary recognition of producer groups(6) fixes the minimum volume of marketable production required of recognised producer organisations pursuant to Article 11(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96. Since the volumes concerned are annual, the operative event for the agricultural conversion rate for these volumes should be defined under Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 as falling on 1 January of the relevant year.(4) Article 15(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 lays down the conditions in which Member States may set a limit on the supplement to the Community withdrawal compensation paid by the operational funds. These maximum national supplements are set out in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EC) No 103/2004 of 21 January 2004 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards intervention arrangements and market withdrawals in the fruit and vegetable sector(7). The operative event applicable to the corresponding withdrawal compensation should apply to the conversion rate of this limit and maximum supplement.(5) Point 3 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1433/2003 of 11 August 2003 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards operational programmes, operational funds and Community financial assistance(8) determines the maximum amount of overheads eligible for inclusion in an operational programme. Since the amount concerned is annual, the conversion rate applicable to the other elements of the operational fund concerned pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98, and, as an exception, to Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2808/98, should apply to that amount.(6) The fourth indent of Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 provides that in the case of withdrawals of products in the fruit and vegetables sector the operative event for the conversion rate falls on the first day of the month in which the withdrawal takes place. That rule should apply not only to withdrawal operations carried out in accordance with Article 23(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, but also because related or similar operations are involved, to the aid towards the cost of transport of fruit and vegetables distributed free as provided for by Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 103/2004 in accordance with Article 30(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, and to the maximum costs of sorting and packaging of products distributed free borne by the Community as provided for in Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 103/2004 in accordance with Article 30(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.(7) Article 2(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 of 21 December 1994 on detailed rules for the application of the import arrangements for fruit and vegetables(9) provides for a flat-rate amount to be deducted from prices recorded in accordance with Article 2(2) where those prices are established at the wholesaler/retailer stage. Article 5(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2808/98 should apply in this case by analogy.(8) Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 should apply to the calculation of the standard import value referred to in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3223/94.(9) For the purpose of applying Article 5(1)(a) and Article 5(1a)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 (invoice method), the entry price of the lot concerned must be expressed in euro. By analogy with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2808/98, the conversion rates applicable must be those in force on the date of acceptance of the customs declaration.(10) Export refunds as provided for in Article 35 of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 are included in the arrangements for trade with third countries introduced by Title V of that Regulation. Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 should therefore apply.(11) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 introduces a production aid scheme for certain products processed from tomatoes, peaches and pears. That scheme provides for aid to be granted to producer organisations. Similarly, Article 6a of that Regulation introduces a production aid scheme for dried figs and prunes. That scheme provides for aid to be granted to processors provided they pay a minimum price to producers. Owing to the very large number of operators, processors and producers involved, the operative event for the conversion rate pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98, and as an exception to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2808/98, should fall on the first day of the month in which the processor takes over the products. This taking-over should be defined.(12) Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 should apply to the buying-in price for dried grapes and dried figs as referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96.(13) Article 9(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 provides for storage aid for dried grapes and figs. That aid is granted for the actual duration of storage. For reasons of administrative practicability, a monthly operative event should be determined in accordance with Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 for granting the aid.(14) Article 3(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2808/98 should apply to the selling prices fixed in advance in euro pursuant to Article 9(7) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 for dried grapes and figs held by the storage agencies.(15) The second indent of Article 5(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2808/98 should apply to the securities referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 9(3) and the second subparagraph of Article 9(7) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96.(16) Export refunds as provided for in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 and export levies on certain products containing added sugar as provided for in Article 20 of that regulation are part of the arrangements for trade with third countries introduced by Title II of that regulation. Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2808/98 should therefore apply.(17) The scheme introduced by Council Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 of 28 October 1996 introducing a Community aid scheme for producers of certain citrus fruits(10) provides for aid to producer organisations for lemons, grapefruit, oranges, mandarins, clementines and satsumas supplied to processors under contracts. Owing to the very large number of operators, processors and producers involved, the operative event for the conversion rate pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98, and as an exception to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2808/98, should fall on the first day of the month in which the processor takes over the products. Taking over occurs when a delivery certificate as provided for in Article 17(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2111/2003 of 1 December 2003 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 introducing a Community aid scheme for producers of certain citrus fruits(11) is drawn up.(18) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the joint opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables and the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,.

Commission Directive 2008/81/EC of 29 July 2008 amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include difenacoum as an active substance in Annex I thereto (2) added the active substance difenacoum to belonging to product type 14, Rodenticides, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(2) Difenacoum is an anticoagulant rodenticide known to pose risks of accidental incidents with children, as well as risks for animals and the environment. It has been identified as potentially persistent, liable to bioaccumulate and toxic (‘PBT’), or very persistent and very liable to bioaccumulate (‘vPvB’).(3) For reasons of public health and hygiene, it was nevertheless found to be justified to include difenacoum and other anticoagulant rodenticides in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC, thus allowing Member States to authorise difenacoum-based products. However, Directive 2008/81/EC obliges Member States to ensure, when granting authorisation of products containing difenacoum, that primary as well as secondary exposure of humans, non-target animals and the environment is minimised, by considering and applying all appropriate and available risk mitigation measures. The risk mitigation measures mentioned in Directive 2008/81/EC therefore include, amongst others, restriction to professional use only.(4) The company Zapi S.p.A. (‘the applicant’) has, in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 98/8/EC, submitted an application to the United Kingdom for authorisation of four rodenticides containing difenacoum (‘the products’).(5) The United Kingdom granted the authorisations on 19 September 2011. The products were authorised with restrictions to ensure the conditions of Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC were met in the United Kingdom. Those restrictions did not include restriction to trained or licensed professional users.(6) On 30 June 2010, the applicant submitted a complete application to Germany for mutual recognition of the first authorisations in respect of the products.(7) On 8 June 2012, Germany notified the Commission, the other Member States and the applicant of its proposal to restrict the first authorisations in accordance with Article 4(4) of Directive 98/8/EC. Germany proposed to impose a restriction on the products to use by trained or licensed professionals.(8) The Commission invited the other Member States and the applicant to submit comments to the notification in writing within 90 days in accordance with Article 27(1) of Directive 98/8/EC. No comments were submitted within that deadline. The notification was also discussed between the Commission and Member States’ Competent Authorities for biocidal products in the meeting of the Product Authorisation and Mutual Recognition Facilitation Group of 3-4 July 2012.(9) In accordance with Directive 2008/81/EC, authorisations of biocidal products containing difenacoum are to be subject to all appropriate and available risk mitigation measures, including the restriction to professional use only. The scientific evaluation leading to the adoption of Directive 2008/81/EC concluded that only professional users could be expected to follow the instructions minimising the risk of secondary poisoning of non-target animals, and to use products in a way that prevents the development and spreading of resistance. A restriction to professional users should therefore in principle be considered to be an appropriate risk mitigation measure, in particular in Member States where resistance to difenacoum occurs.(10) In the absence of any indication to the contrary, restriction to professional users is therefore an appropriate and available risk mitigation measure for the authorisation of products containing difenacoum in Germany. This conclusion is reinforced by the arguments put forward by Germany that resistance against difenacoum in rats has been found and is thought to be developing in the country. Furthermore, Germany has a well-functioning infrastructure of trained pest control operators and licensed professionals, such as farmers, gardeners and foresters who received professional training, which means that the proposed restriction does not hinder infection prevention.(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Germany may restrict the authorisations granted in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 98/8/EC for the products mentioned in the Annex to this Decision to use by trained or licensed professionals.

In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products.

DefinitionsFor the purposes of this Regulation, the terms ‘institution’, ‘reserve requirement’, ‘maintenance period’, ‘reserve base’, and ‘participating Member State’ have the same meaning as in Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9). Transitional provisions for institutions located in Cyprus or Malta1.   In derogation from Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9), a transitional maintenance period shall run from 1 January 2008 to 15 January 2008 for institutions located in Cyprus or Malta.2.   The reserve base of each institution located in Cyprus or Malta for the transitional maintenance period shall be defined in relation to elements of its balance sheet as at 31 October 2007.

The calculated minimum reserves, including any revisions thereof, if applicable, shall be confirmed by the two parties at the latest on 11 December 2007. If the notified party does not confirm the amount of minimum reserves by 11 December 2007, it shall be deemed to have acknowledged that the calculated amount applies for the transitional maintenance period.4.   Article 3(2) to (4) shall apply mutatis mutandis to institutions located in Cyprus so that these institutions may, for their initial maintenance periods, deduct from their reserve bases any liabilities owed to institutions in Cyprus or Malta, although at the time the minimum reserves are calculated such institutions will not appear on the list of institutions subject to reserve requirements in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9). (2) to (4) shall apply mutatis mutandis to institutions located in Malta so that these institutions may, for their initial maintenance periods, deduct from their reserve bases any liabilities owed to institutions in Cyprus or Malta, although at the time the minimum reserves are calculated such institutions will not appear on the list of institutions subject to reserve requirements in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1745/2003 (ECB/2003/9).

It also establishes the conditions for exemptions from the exit ban applicable to movements of susceptible animals, their semen, ova and embryos provided for in Directive 2000/75/EC.(2) In recent months, experience has shown that in a number of Member States the effectiveness of the measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 to ensure the protection of animals against attacks by vectors might be undermined by a combination of factors, including the vector species, climate conditions and the type of husbandry of the susceptible ruminants.(3) In view of those circumstances and pending their further scientific assessment, it is appropriate to allow Member States of destination, in which the introduction of non-immune animals under such circumstances could pose a risk for animal health to require that the movement of non-immune animals is subject to additional conditions justified on the basis of a risk assessment taking into account the entomological and epidemiological conditions in which animals are being introduced. Such additional conditions should be limited to what it is necessary to ensure an effective protection of non-immune animals against vectors attacks.(4) The vector protected confinement of animals is a practicable and effective tool to protect younger animals from attacks by vectors provided that it is carried out subject to certain conditions. Therefore, Member States of destination should be allowed to require the application of these conditions in relation to the introduction of young, non-immune animals for which vaccination is not feasible. As this would affect intra-Community trade, the intention to apply these additional conditions should be notified to the Commission, together with all information demonstrating that it is justified.(5) The Commission has requested further scientific advice from the European Food Safety Authority. In light of that advice and of additional knowledge and experience that becomes available, the measures provided for in this Regulation may be reviewed in the future. Therefore, the transitional period should be limited to 31 December 2008.(6) Points 6 and 7 of Section A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 lay down the conditions under which naturally immunised animals may be exempted from the exit ban provided for in Directive 2000/75/EC. There have been experiments which indicate that protection post-infection with bluetongue lasts for a substantial period of time. Therefore, the naturally infected animals are immune for long periods after infection with a particular serotype. The detection of an immune response to bluetongue virus in non-vaccinated animals indicates previous infection. However, that protection can vary depending on the breed of the animal, virus strain and individual animal variation. Therefore, confirmation of the persistence of the antibody response by means of two serological tests, the first being carried out between 60 and 360 days before the movement and the second seven days before movement can provide further reassurance that such animals are immune and thus can be safely moved.(7) Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Regulation (EC) No 1266/2007 is amended as follows:1. In Chapter 4, the following Article 9a is inserted:(a) those animals must be less than 90 days old;(b) they must have been kept since birth in vector protected confinement;(c) the tests referred in points 1, 3 and 4 of Section A of Annex III must have been carried out on samples taken not earlier than seven days before the date of the movement.2. In Annex III, Section A is amended as follows:(a) Point 6(a) is replaced by the following:‘(a) they were subjected to two serological tests according to the OIE Terrestrial Manual to detect antibodies against the bluetongue virus serotype, with positive results; the first test being carried out on samples taken between 60 and 360 days before the date of movement and the second test being carried out on samples taken not earlier than seven days before the date of the movement; or’;(b) In point 7, the introductory phrase and point (a) are replaced by the following:(a) the first test must have been carried out on samples that were taken between 60 and 360 days before the date of movement and the second test must have been carried out on samples that were taken not earlier than seven days before the date of movement; or’.

It therefore decides to extend the period of application of its Decision 2011/492/EU by 12 months until 19 July 2013.The European Union recalls the Council Conclusions on the Republic of Guinea-Bissau adopted on 23 April 2012, underlines once again the importance that it attaches to future cooperation with the Republic of Guinea-Bissau and confirms its willingness to, pursuant to UN Security Council Resolution 2048 (2012) of 18 May 2012, accompany the Republic of Guinea-Bissau towards the restoration of constitutional order and a situation where the resumption of full cooperation becomes possible.The European Union supports the concerted efforts of international partners to restore stability, democracy and respect for human rights in the Republic of Guinea Bissau.Yours faithfully,For the CouncilThe PresidentC.

In particular, the expert group recommended to intensify the surveillance programmes already planned for 2005/2006, by increasing sampling on migratory waterfowl along the flyways that might pose a risk for disease introduction. Decision 2005/464 has therefore been amended by Decision 2005/726/EC.(5) The Commission has found the submitted programmes to be consistent with the conditions set out in Decision 2005/464/EC, as amended. Those programmes should therefore be approved.(6) In the light of the importance of those programmes for the achievement of Community objectives in the field of animal and public health, it is appropriate to fix the Community financial contribution at 50 % of the costs to be incurred by the Member States concerned for the measures referred to in this Decision up to a maximum amount for each programme.(7) Expenditures in relation to the programmes to be approved that have been incurred since 1 July 2005 should also be considered eligible for co-financing by the Community.(8) Furthermore, it is appropriate to lay down rules for reporting the results of the surveys and for the eligibility of the costs contained in the financial claim for a financial participation of the Community to the costs incurred by Member States for the implementation of the programme.(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. The Member States’ programmes listed in Annex I are approved for the period set out in that Annex (‘the programmes’). The Member States shall carry out surveys for avian influenza in poultry and wild birds in accordance with the programmes. The Community financial contribution to the costs for analysing samples shall be granted to each Member State up to the maximum amount set out in Annex I.That contribution shall be granted provided that the Member State complies with the following:(a) brings into force the laws, regulations or administrative provisions necessary for implementing its programme;(b) submits a final report to the Commission and to the Community Reference Laboratory for avian influenza by 31 March 2006 at the latest, on the technical execution of the programme and the results attained, in accordance with the reporting models set out in Annexes II, III, IV and V;(c) submits appropriate evidence to the Commission as to the costs incurred during the period for which the programme is approved;(d) implements the programme efficiently, in particular the competent authority must ensure that appropriate sampling is performed. The maximum amounts of the costs to be reimbursed to the Member States for the tests covered by the programmes shall not exceed the following:(a) : ELISA test : EUR 1 per test;(b) : agar gel immune diffusion test : EUR 0,6 per test;(c) : HI test for H5/H7 : EUR 4 per test;(d) : virus isolation test : EUR 30 per test;(e) : PCR test : EUR 10 per test. The conversion rate for applications submitted by the Member States in accordance with Decision 90/424/EEC in national currency in month ‘n’ shall be that of the tenth day of month ‘n+1’ or for the first preceding day for which a rate is quoted.

As a participant it has to ensure that a certificate accompanies each shipment of rough diamonds imported into or exported from the territory of the Union.(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 (2) sets up a Union system of certification and import and export controls for rough diamonds for the purposes of implementing the KP certification scheme.(3) Greenland is not part of the Union territory but it is included in the list of overseas countries and territories set out in Annex II to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). In accordance with Article 198 TFEU, the purpose of the association of the overseas countries and territories with the Union is to promote the economic and social development of the overseas countries and territories and to establish close economic relations between them and the Union as a whole.(4) Denmark and Greenland have requested to enable the participation of Greenland in the KP certification scheme on rough diamonds through its cooperation with the Union. Such cooperation would strengthen economic relations between the Union and Greenland in the diamond industry, and in particular it would enable Greenland to export rough diamonds accompanied by the EU Certificate issued for the purposes of the certification scheme, with a view to promoting the economic development of Greenland.(5) Trade in rough diamonds in Greenland should, therefore, be conducted in compliance with Union rules implementing the KP certification scheme for the international trade in rough diamonds. Accordingly, the scope of application of Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 will be extended by Regulation (EU) No 257/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) to the territory of Greenland for the purpose of the certification scheme.(6) In particular, Greenland should only export rough diamonds to other participants in the KP certification scheme after they have been certified by a Union authority listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002. Imports of rough diamonds into Greenland should also be verified by the Union authorities.(7) In order to permit the international trade in rough diamonds in Greenland, in accordance with the rules on trade within the Union, Greenland should undertake to transpose the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002 into the national law of Greenland so as to allow the application of this Decision,. Subject matter and scopeThis Decision sets out the general rules and conditions for the participation of Greenland in the system of certification and import and export controls for rough diamonds set out in Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002. To that end, this Decision lays down rules and procedures for the application of the Kimberley Process certification scheme (‘KP certification scheme’) for rough diamonds imported into or exported from Greenland, either to the Union or to other participants in the KP certification scheme. DefinitionsFor the purposes of this Decision, the following definitions apply:(a) the definition of ‘Participant’ means ‘Participant’ as set out in point (c) of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002;(b) the definition of ‘Union authority’ means the ‘Community authority’ as set out in point (f) of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002;(c) the definition of ‘EU certificate’ means the ‘Community certificate’ as set out in point (g) of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2368/2002.

That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.(3) The application concerns authorisation of the preparation Enterococcus faecium (Biomin IMB52) a feed additive for chickens for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.(4) The method of analysis included in the application for authorisation in accordance with Article 7(3)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 concerns the determination of the active substance of the feed additive in feed. The method of analysis referred to in the Annex to this Regulation is therefore not to be understood as a Community method of analysis within the meaning of Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (2).(5) The use of the preparation Enterococcus faecium DSM 3530 was already authorised for calves up to six months of age by Commission Regulation (EC) No 418/2001 of 1 March 2001 concerning the authorisation of new additives and uses of additives in feedingstuffs (3). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation for chickens for fattening. In its assessment, the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concludes that the safety of this additive for the consumer, the user and the environment have already been established and will not be changed by the proposed new use. It further concludes that the use of the preparation does not have an adverse effect on this additional animal category and that the use of that preparation can improve the zootechnical parameters in chickens for fattening. It does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. The opinion of the Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. This opinion also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

For the type-approval tests, the average speed shall be measured on a straight track, which the tractor shall traverse in both directions from a flying start. The soil of the track shall be stabilised; the track shall be flat and at least 100 metres long; however it may include slopes of not more than 1,5 %.1.2. During the test, the tractor shall be unladen and in running order without ballast weights or special equipment and the tyre pressures shall be those specified for road use.1.3. During the test the tractor shall be fitted with new pneumatic tyres having the greatest rolling radius intended by the manufacturer for the tractor.1.4. The gear ratio used during the test shall be that producing the maximum vehicle speed and the throttle shall be fully open.1.5. In order to take account of various unavoidable errors due, in particular, to the measuring technique and to the increase in running speed of the engine with a partial load, a measured speed exceeding the value for the maximum design speed by 3 km/h shall be acceptable for the type-approval test.1.6. So that the authorities competent for the type-approval of tractors may calculate their maximum theoretical speed, the manufacturer shall specify as a guide the gear ratio, the actual forward movement of the powered wheels corresponding to one complete revolution, and the rpm at maximum power output with the throttle fully open and the speed governor, if fitted, adjusted as laid down by the manufacturer.2.   Load platforms2.1. The centre of gravity of the platform shall be situated between the axles.2.2. The dimensions of the platform shall be such that:— the length does not exceed 1,4 times the front or rear track of the tractor, whichever is the larger,— the width does not exceed the maximum overall width of the tractor without equipment,2.3. The platform shall be laid out symmetrically in relation to the longitudinal median plane of the tractor.2.4. The height of the load platform above the ground shall be not more than 150 cm.2.5. The type of platform and the way it is fitted shall be such that, with a normal load, the driver’s field of vision remains adequate and the various compulsory lighting and light-signalling devices may continue to fulfil their proper function.2.6. The load platform shall be detachable; it shall be attached to the tractor in such a way as to avoid any risk of accidental detachment.ANNEX IIPart ARepealed Directive with its successive amendments(referred to in Article 7)Council Directive 74/152/EECCouncil Directive 82/890/EEC Only as regards the references to Directive 74/152/EEC in Article 1(1)Commission Directive 88/412/EECDirective 97/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council Only as regards the references to Directive 74/152/EEC in Article 1, first indent.Commission Directive 98/89/ECPart BList of time-limits for transposition into national law and application(referred to in Article 7)Directive Time-limit for transposition Date of application74/152/EEC 8 September 1975 —82/890/EEC 22 June 1984 —88/412/EEC 30 September 1988 (1) —97/54/EC 22 September 1998 23 September 199898/89/EC 31 December 1999 (2) —(1)  In conformity with Article 2 of Directive 88/412/EEC:‘1.   From 1 October 1988 no Member State may:— refuse, in respect of a type of tractor, to grant EEC type-approval, to issue the document referred to in Article 10(1), final indent, of Directive 74/150/EEC, or to grant national type approval; or,— prohibit the entry into service of tractors,if the maximum design speed and load platforms of this type of tractor or tractors comply with the provisions of this Directive.2.   From 1 October 1989 Member States:— may no longer issue the document referred to in Article 10(1), final indent, of Directive 74/150/EEC for a type of tractor of which the maximum design speed and load platforms do not comply with the provisions of this Directive,— may refuse to grant national type approval in respect of a type of tractor of which the maximum design speed and load platforms do not comply with the provisions of this Directive.’,(2)  In conformity with Article 2 of Directive 98/89/EC:‘1.   From 1 January 2000 no Member State may:— refuse, in respect of a type of tractor, to grant EC type approval, to issue the document referred to in Article 10(1), final indent of Directive 74/150/EEC, or to grant national type approval, or,— prohibit the entry into service of tractors,if those tractors meet the requirements of Directive 74/152/EEC, as amended by this Directive.2.   From 1 October 2004, Member States:— may no longer issue the document referred to in Article 10(1), final indent, of Directive 74/150/EEC for a type of tractor if this does not meet the requirements of Directive 74/152/EEC, as amended by this Directive,— may refuse to grant national type approval in respect of a type of tractor if this does not meet the requirements of Directive 74/152/EEC as amended by this Directive.’,ANNEX IIICORRELATION TABLEDirective 74/152/EEC Directive 98/89/EC This DirectiveArticle 1 Article 1Article 2 Article 2Articles 3 to 5 Articles 3 to 5Article 6(1) —Article 6(2) Article 6— Article 7— Article 8Article 7 Article 9Annex Annex I— Annex II— Annex III +",approximation of laws;legislative harmonisation;vehicle registration;number plate;registration plate;speed control;maximum speed;minimum speed;speed limit;tachograph;tractor;motor vehicle;agricultural vehicle;carrying capacity;market approval;ban on sales;marketing ban;sales ban;Community certification;codification of EU law;codification of Community law;codification of European Union law,22 +913,"Commission Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 4063/88 of 21 December 1988 laying down provisions for applying Article 46a of the Conditions of Employment of staff of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training. ,Having regard to Council Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 1859/76 of 29 June 1976 laying down the Conditions of Employment of staff of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (1), as last amended by Council Regulation (Euratom, ECSC, EEC) No 679/87 (2), and in particular Article 46a thereof,Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of Experts provided for in paragraph 2 of that Article 46a,Whereas Article 46a of the Conditions of Employment of Staff of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training sets out the conditions for granting an unemployment allowance to former staff members who are unemployed following termination of service with the Centre;Whereas it is for the Commission to lay down such provisions as it deems necessary for applying paragraph 2 of that Article 46a;Whereas Commission Regulation (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) No 91/88 (3) lays down provisions for implementing Article 28a of the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European communities, which is identical to Article 46a of the Conditions of Employment of Staff of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training,.

A global approach to addressing emissions from international aviation offers the best prospects for ensuring sustainability in the long term.(2) The Union is endeavouring to secure a future international agreement to control greenhouse gas emissions from aviation and, in the meantime, is limiting climate change impacts from aviation activities to and from aerodromes in the Union, by autonomous action. In order to ensure that those objectives are mutually supportive and not in conflict, it is appropriate to take account of developments at, and positions taken in, international fora and in particular to take account of the resolution containing the ‘Consolidated statement of continuing ICAO policies and practices related to environmental protection’ adopted on 4 October 2013 at the 38th Session of the Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).(3) Consequently, in order to sustain the momentum reached at the 38th Session of the ICAO Assembly in 2013 and facilitate progress at the upcoming 39th Session in 2016, it is desirable to temporarily consider the requirements set out in Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) to be satisfied for the period until 31 December 2016 in respect of flights to and from aerodromes in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In doing so, the Union emphasises that legal requirements can be applied in respect of flights to and from aerodromes located in States of the EEA, in the same manner as legal requirements can be applied in respect of the emissions from flights between such aerodromes. In order to ensure legal certainty, for the purposes of this derogation, flights between aerodromes located in States of the EEA and aerodromes located in countries that acceded to the Union in 2013 should be considered to be flights between States of the EEA.(4) It is recalled that, under Directive 2003/87/EC, it is for Member States to determine the use to be made of revenues generated from the auctioning of allowances. Those revenues, or their equivalent in financial value, should be used to tackle climate change in the Union and third countries, inter alia, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to adapt to the impacts of climate change in the Union and third countries, especially developing countries, to fund research and development for mitigation and adaptation, including in particular in the fields of aeronautics and air transport, to reduce emissions through low-emissions transport and to cover the costs of administering the Union scheme. The proceeds of auctioning, or their equivalent in financial value, should also be used to fund contributions to the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund, and measures to avoid deforestation. Transparency on the use of revenue generated from the auctioning of allowances under Directive 2003/87/EC is key to underpinning Union commitments. Under Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), Member States are to submit to the Commission a report on the use of revenues from the auctioning of such allowances.(5) The derogations provided for in this Regulation take into account the results of bilateral and multilateral contacts with third countries, which the Commission will continue to pursue on behalf of the Union, in order to promote the use of market-based mechanisms to reduce emissions from aviation.(6) It is recalled that Directive 2003/87/EC envisages the possibility of adopting measures amending the aviation activities listed in Annex I to that Directive where a third country introduces measures to reduce the climate change impacts from aviation activities.(7) The negotiation of all Union aviation agreements with third countries should be aimed at safeguarding the Union's flexibility to take action in respect of environmental issues, including with regard to measures to mitigate the impact of aviation on climate change.(8) In order to avoid distortion of competition, it is important that all flights on the same route be treated in the same way.(9) To further avoid a disproportionate administrative burden for the smallest aircraft operators, a temporary exemption should be added to Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC. Non-commercial aircraft operators emitting less than 1 000 tonnes CO2 per annum should, therefore, be exempt from the scope of that Directive, from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2020.(10) It is appropriate to enable the use, by aircraft operators that are small emitters, of an alternative approach for the verification of their emissions in order to reduce their administrative burden further. Member States should be able to implement simplification measures that address in particular the needs of non-commercial operators that are small emitters.(11) Special consideration should be given to mitigating or even eliminating any accessibility and competitiveness problems arising for the outermost regions of the Union. With this in mind, flights between an aerodrome located in an outermost region within the meaning of Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and an aerodrome located in another region of the EEA should also be included in the derogation established under this Regulation.(12) In order to ensure legal certainty for aircraft operators and national authorities it is appropriate to allow until 2015 for the surrender and reporting deadlines for 2013 emissions.(13) For the application of this derogation, it is important to recall that the methods for the allocation and issuance of allowances to aircraft operators remain those established under Directive 2003/87/EC, that is to say based on the verified tonne-kilometre data in respect of the relevant periods referred to therein.(14) After the 2016 ICAO Assembly and in the light of its outcome, the Commission should provide a full report to the European Parliament and to the Council. In that report, the Commission should, inter alia, consider all options for the coverage of emissions from aviation activities and, if appropriate, swiftly propose measures in order to ensure that international developments can be taken into account and that any issues about the application of the derogation can be addressed. The Commission should also give particular consideration to the environmental effectiveness of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and, in this context, to the particular contribution of the aviation sector, including to modalities for the better alignment of the rules applicable to aviation activities and stationary installations respectively.(15) Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely to introduce a temporary derogation for the monitoring, reporting and surrendering of allowances from flights to and from countries outside the EEA from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2016, to lighten the administrative burden and simplify the administration of the scheme, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, but can rather, by reason of scale and effects of the action, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.(16) It is essential to ensure legal certainty for aircraft operators and national authorities in view of the surrender deadline of 30 April 2014 as referred to in Directive 2003/87/EC. Accordingly, this Regulation should apply from the date of its adoption.(17) Directive 2003/87/EC should be amended accordingly,. Directive 2003/87/EC is hereby amended as follows:(1) The following Article is inserted:(a) all emissions from flights to and from aerodromes located in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) in each calendar year from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2016;(b) all emissions from flights between an aerodrome located in an outermost region within the meaning of Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and an aerodrome located in another region of the EEA in each calendar year from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2016;(c) the surrender of allowances, corresponding to verified 2013 emissions from flights between aerodromes located in States in the EEA, taking place by 30 April 2015 instead of 30 April 2014, and verified 2013 emissions for those flights being reported by 31 March 2015 instead of 31 March 2014.(2) In Annex I, in the column ‘Activities’ of the table therein, under the heading ‘Aviation’ the following point is added after point (j):‘(k) from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2020, flights which, but for this point, would fall within this activity, performed by a non-commercial aircraft operator operating flights with total annual emissions lower than 1 000 tonnes per year.’.

Following the failure to achieve a mutually acceptable solution, the Community, Thailand and the Philippines agreed to refer the matter to mediation. On 20 December 2002 the mediator presented its opinion whereby the Community should open a MFN-based tariff quota of 25000 tons for 2003 at an in-quota tariff rate of 12 % ad valorem.(2) Given its desire to resolve this long-standing problem, the Community has decided to accept this proposal. Therefore, an additional tariff quota for a limited volume of canned tuna should be opened.(3) It is appropriate to allocate country specific shares of the quota to those countries having a substantial interest in supplying canned tuna, on the basis of the quantities supplied by each of them under non-preferential conditions during a representative period of time. The remaining part of the quota should be available to all other countries.(4) The best way of ensuring optimal use of the tariff quota is to allocate it in the chronological order of the dates on which declarations of release for free circulation are accepted.(5) In order to ensure that the quota is administered efficiently, presentation of a certificate of origin should be required for imports of canned tuna from Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia, the main suppliers and the main beneficiaries of the quota.(6) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation 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(1),. From 1 July 2003, imports of canned tuna covered by CN codes 1604 14 11, 1604 14 18 and 1604 20 70 originating in any country shall be eligible for a tariff rate of 12 per cent within the limits of the tariff quota opened in accordance with this Regulation. The tariff quota shall be opened annually for an initial period of five years. Its volume for the first two years shall be fixed as follows:- 25000 tons from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004,- 25750 tons from 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005. The tariff quota shall be divided into four parts, as follows:(a) a quota of 52 % of the annual volume, with the order number 09.2005, for imports originating in Thailand; and(b) a quota of 36 % of the annual volume, with the order number 09.2006, for imports originating in the Philippines; and(c) a quota of 11 % of the annual volume, with the order number 09.2007, for imports originating in Indonesia; and(d) a quota of 1 % of the annual volume, with the order number 09.2008, for imports originating in other third countries. 1. The origin of canned tuna qualifying for the tariff quota shall be determined in accordance with the provisions in force in the Community.2. Qualification for the share of the tariff quota allocated to Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia, in accordance with Article 3 shall be subject to presentation of a certificate of origin meeting the conditions laid down in Article 47 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93(2).Certificates of origin shall be accepted only if the products meet the criteria for determining origin set out in the provisions in force in the Community. The tariff quota shall be administered by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. This Regulation may be revised during the second year after the tariff quota is opened in order to adapt the volume of the quota to the needs of the Community market. If, however, this revision is not completed three months before the 30 June 2005, the quota shall be automatically extended for a further year for a volume of 25750 tons. Subsequently the tariff quota shall be extended regularly for one year at a time and for the same volume unless a revision is adopted not later than three months before the closure of the current quota. The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation, including the amendments and adjustments required by amendments to the Combined Nomenclature and the TARIC, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 8(2). 1. The Commission shall be assisted by the Customs Code Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Committee) set up by Article 247a of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92(3).2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at three months.3.

Commission Decision 97/631/EC(3) of 12 September 1997 confirmed that the dossier was ""complete"" in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.(2) For this active substance, the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The nominated rapporteur Member State, submitted a draft assessment report concerning the substance to the Commission on 20 January 1998.(3) The draft assessment report has been reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. The review was finalised on 28 June 2002 in the format of the Commission review report for flumioxazine.(4) The dossier and the information from the review were also submitted to the Scientific Committee for Plants. The Committee was asked to comment on the test protocols used in higher tier studies to assess effects of the active substance on aquatic plants and earthworms and on development effects seen in animal studies. In its opinion(4) the Committee noted that the available higher tier study in aquatic plants is insufficient for a full assessment of exposure/effect relationships. The studies in earthworms and those on developmental toxicity were considered sufficient and adequate to support the risk assessments. The observations of the Scientific Committee were taken into consideration in formulating this Directive and the relevant review report. A revised risk assessment for aquatic plants was made on the basis of the available standard study.(5) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing flumioxazine may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) and Article 5(3) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include flumioxazine in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant-protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.(6) The Commission review report is required for the proper implementation by the Member States, of several sections of the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC. It is, therefore, appropriate to provide that the finalised review report, except for confidential information, should be kept available or made available by the Member States for consultation by any interested parties.(7) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC as regards plant-protection products containing flumioxazine and in particular to review existing provisional authorisations and, by the end of this period at the latest, to transform those authorisations into full authorisations, to amend them or to withdraw them in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC.(8) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.(9) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall keep available the review report for flumioxazine, except for confidential information within the meaning of Article 14 of Directive 91/414/EEC, for consultation by any interested parties or shall make it available to them on specific request. Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 June 2003 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.They shall apply those provisions from 1 July 2003.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made. 1. Member States shall review the authorisation for each plant-protection product containing flumioxazine to ensure that the conditions relating to this active substance set out in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are complied with. Where necessary, they shall amend or withdraw the authorisation in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC before 30 June 2003.2. Member States shall, for each authorised plant-protection product containing flumioxazine as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 1 January 2003, re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III thereto. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC. Where necessary and by 30 June 2004 at the latest, they shall amend or withdraw the authorisation for each such plant-protection product. This Directive shall enter into force on 1 January 2003.

It comes in the shape of flat cylinders, 27 to 30 cm in diameter, 7 to 9 cm high, convex on the outside, weighing between 4 and 4,5 kg, with a fine bloom on the rind consisting of a white mould-type down that may have orange to ivory-coloured marbling of the kind caused by yeasts and bacteria active in the ripening process.It contains a maximum level of 48 g of fat per 100 g of cheese after total desiccation and the dry matter must not weigh less than 52 g per 100 g of cheese.4.3.   Geographical areaBleu du Vercors-Sassenage PDO is produced within the Massif du Vercors, in 13 communes in the department of Drôme and 14 communes in the department of Isère.Department of DrômeThe communes of Bouvante (sectors C, D, E, L 1, K, I 1, I 2, A I), Échevis, Le Chaffal, La Chapelle-en-Vercors, Léoncel, Omblèze, Plan-de-Baix, Saint-Agnan-en-Vercors, Saint-Jean-en-Royans (sector E), Saint-Julien-en-Vercors, Saint-Laurent-en-Royans (sectors D 1 and D 2), Saint-Martin-en-Vercors and Vassieux-en-Vercors.Department of IsèreThe communes of Autrans, Châtelus, Choranche, Corrençon-en-Vercors, Engins, Izeron (the localities Fressinet and Gouté in sectors F 1, F 2 and G 1 and Malache in sector G 2), Lans-en-Vercors, Malleval, Méaudre, Presles, Rencurel, Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte, Saint-Pierre-de-Chérennes (the localities Alevoux, Bayettes and Guillon in sector C1, and sectors C 2 and D 2), and Villard-de-Lans.4.4.   Proof of originEvery milk producer, processing plant and maturing plant fills in a ‘declaration of aptitude’, which is registered with the INAO and enables it to identify all the operators involved. All operators must keep their registers and any documents required for checking the origin, quality and production conditions of the milk and cheese at the INAO’s disposal.As part of the checks carried out on the specified features of the designation of origin, an analytical and organoleptic test is conducted to ensure that the products submitted for examination are of high quality and possess the requisite typical characteristics.All cheese marketed under the designation of origin must bear a mark that identifies the production unit and allows the product to be traced.4.5.   Method of productionThe milk must be produced and the cheese manufactured and matured within the geographical area.The milk used to produce Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage must be from dairy herds made up of cows of the Montbéliard, Abondance and Villard breeds only. The animals must be fed on fodder originating in the defined geographical area. The milk used is whole cow’s milk, which may be partly skimmed. It must come from the four most recent milkings only. The cheese is made from milk heated to a maximum temperature of 76 °C and inoculated with Pénicillium roqueforti. The milk must be curdled using rennet at a temperature between 31 °C and 35 °C. The curd is stirred and poured into moulds in several layers without pressing. The cheeses are salted in their individual moulds. They must not be salted for more than three days. The cheeses mature in the ripening chamber for at least 21 days from the date of curdling; this allows them to develop in a balanced way.4.6.   LinkEvidence of this cheese being made in the Massif du Vercors goes back to the 14th century. In a deed of June 1338, Baron Albert de Sassenage granted the local people complete freedom to sell their cheese. Many written accounts attest to its renown, including Pierre Larousse’s Grand Dictionnaire Universel du XIX which mentions that King François I was very fond of it. The cheese was made on farms in the traditional way up until the early years of the 20th century. In 1933, a dairy began making the cheese following the traditional formula. More recently, farm production has been enjoying a new boom.The Massif du Vercors is a well-defined mass of limestone which stands 1 000 metres above the surrounding plains. It is characterised by long, cradle-shaped wet valleys and cirques and closed coombs overlooked by cliffs. The Vercors has a mountain climate: the summers are short, it is always cool at night, autumn comes early and snow may start falling in October and remain until April or May. The climate is softened by the mitigating effects of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The altitude, the clay-limestone soil and the fairly wet mountain climate make the pastures on this massif especially good. This combination of factors also give the Massif du Vercors its specific character from a botanical point of view. The diverse types of landscape in this natural environment mean that different, complementary areas of pasture can be grazed, offering abundant supplies of excellent quality nourishment. This forms the basis of the herd’s diet and gives the milk, hence the cheese, its typical characteristics.4.7.   Inspection bodyName : Institut National de l’origine et de la qualité (INAO)Address : 51, Rue d’Anjou, 75008 ParisTel. : +33 (0)1 53 89 80 00Fax : +33 (0)1 53 89 80 60e-mail : info@inao.gouv.frThe Institut National des Appellations d’Origine is a public administrative body with legal personality and reports to the Ministry of Agriculture.It is responsible for monitoring the production conditions for products with a designation of origin.Name : Direction Générale de la Concurrence, de la Consommation et de la Répression des Fraudes (DGCCRF)Address : 59, Boulevard Vincent Auriol 75703 PARIS Cédex 13Tel. : +33 (0)1 44 87 17 17Fax : +33 (0)1 44 97 30 37The DGCCRF is a department of the Ministry of the Economy, Industry and Employment.4.8.   LabellingThe product must bear the wording ‘Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée’ and the name of the designation of originThe words ‘fabrication fermière’ or ‘fromage fermier’ or any other similar wording that suggests the product was produced on a farm may be used only by producers who are farmers. +",France;French Republic;semi-soft cheese;Cantal;Reblochon;Tomme de Savoie;originating product;origin of goods;product origin;rule of origin;designation of origin;PDO;PGI;certificate of designation of origin;protected designation of origin;protected geographical indication;registered designation of origin;product designation;product description;product identification;product naming;substance identification,22 +14260,"Council Regulation (EC) No 1543/95 of 29 June 1995 derogating, for the 1995/96 marketing year, from Regulation (EC) No 3119/93 laying down special measures to encourage the processing of certain citrus fruits. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 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, within the framework of the Community scheme supporting the processing of citrus fruits, it appears that certain processing companies are experiencing financial difficulties in paying the minimum price to producers; whereas that situation should be taken into account when authorizing the Member States, in respect of the new marketing year 1995/96, to pay the financial compensation directly to producers under certain conditions;Whereas using this possibility will prevent Member States from having recourse to the provisions for granting financial compensation as referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 3119/93 (4),.

REQUEST(1) The Commission has received a request pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (the basic Regulation) to investigate the alleged circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of threaded malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings originating in Brazil.(2) The request has been lodged on 12 August 2002 by the Defence Committee of Malleable Cast Iron pipe Fittings Industry of the European Union on behalf of producers representing a major proportion of the Community production of certain malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings.B. PRODUCT(3) The product concerned by the allegation of circumvention is threaded malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings, currently classifiable within CN code ex 7307 19 10. This code is given for information only.C. EXISTING MEASURES(4) The measures currently in force and allegedly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2000(3).D. GROUNDS(5) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence, that the anti-dumping measures on imports of certain malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings originating in Brazil are being circumvented by means of transhipment via Argentina of certain malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings.(6) The evidence submitted is as follows:(a) the request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from Brazil and Argentina to the Community has taken place following the imposition of measures on the product concerned and for which there is insufficient due cause or justification other than the imposition of the duty.This change in the pattern of trade appears to stem from a transhipment of certain malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings originating in Brazil via Argentina;(b) furthermore, the request contains sufficient evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on imports of the product concerned originating in Brazil are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of certain malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings consigned from Argentina appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned from Brazil. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that this increase in imports is made at prices well below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures;(c) finally, the request contains sufficient evidence that the prices of certain malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings are dumped in relation to the normal values previously established for the certain malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings originating in Brazil.E. PROCEDURE(7) In the light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation and to make imports consigned from Argentina, whether declared as originating in Argentina or not, of certain malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.(i) Questionnaires(8) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in Argentina, to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in Brazil and to the importers and to the associations of importers in the Community which cooperated in the investigation that lead to the existing measures, and to the authorities of Brazil and Argentina. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Community industry.(9) In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than the time limit set in Article 3 in order to find out whether they are listed in the request and if not, to request a questionnaire within the time limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.(10) The authorities of Brazil and Argentina will be notified of the initiation of the investigation and provided with a copy of the request.(ii) Collection of information and holding of hearings(11) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.(iii) Exemption of registration of imports or measures(12) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product concerned may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.(13) Given that the alleged circumvention takes place outside the Community, exemption of imports from registration or measures would depend entirely on the findings in respect of the exporters in Argentina. Therefore exporters wishing to obtain an exemption of registration of imports or measures should apply for the exemption and submit the questionnaire reply (in order to establish that they are not circumventing the anti-dumping duties within the meaning of Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation) within the time limits set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation. Although no exemption could be granted purely on the basis of information from importers, these could still benefit from exemption from registration or measures to the extent that their imports are from exporters which are granted such an exemption.F. REGISTRATION(14) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product concerned should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively from the date of the initiation of this investigation on certain malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings consigned from Argentina.G. TIME LIMITS(15) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:- interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views known in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,- interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.H. NON-COOPERATION(16) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or otherwise does not provide necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, provisional or final findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available. Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available,. An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, in order to determine if imports into the Community of threaded malleable cast iron tube or pipe fittings consigned from Argentina, whether declared as originating in Argentina or not, falling within CN code ex 7307 19 10, are circumventing the measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2000. 1. The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Community identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.2. Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.3. The Commission, by Regulation, may direct Customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Community of products exported by exporters having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found not to be circumventing the anti-dumping duties. 1. Questionnaires should be requested from the Commission within 15 days from publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities.2. Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 40 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Communities, unless otherwise specified. Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the aforementioned period.3. Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 40 day time limit.4.

Infections with avian influenza viruses in domestic poultry cause two main forms of that disease that are distinguished by their virulence. The low pathogenic form generally only causes mild symptoms, while the highly pathogenic form results in very high mortality rates in most poultry species. That disease may have a severe impact on the profitability of poultry farming.(2) Avian influenza is mainly found in birds, but under certain circumstances infections can also occur in humans even though the risk is generally very low.(3) In the event of an outbreak of avian influenza, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other holdings where poultry or other captive birds are kept. As a result it may spread from one Member State to other Member States or to third countries through trade in live birds or their products.(4) Council Directive 2005/94/EC (3) sets out certain preventive measures relating to the surveillance and the early detection of avian influenza and the minimum control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of that disease in poultry or other captive birds. That Directive provides for the establishment of protection and surveillance zones in the event of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza.(5) Following the notification by Hungary of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N8 in a duck fattening holding in Békés County, Hungary, on 24 February 2015, Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/338 (4) was adopted.(6) Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/338 provides that the protection and surveillance zones established by Hungary, in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC, are to comprise at least the areas listed as protection and surveillance zones in the Annex to that Implementing Decision. Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/338 is to apply until 26 March 2015.(7) The interim protective measures put in place following the outbreak in Hungary have now been reviewed within the framework of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed and the areas under restrictions can now be described in a more precise manner.(8) In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade being imposed by third countries, it is necessary to define the protection and surveillance zones established in Hungary at Union level in collaboration with that Member State and to fix the duration of that regionalisation.(9) For the sake of clarity, Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/338 should be repealed.(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,. Hungary shall ensure that the protection and surveillance zones established in accordance with Article 16(1) of Directive 2005/94/EC comprise at least the areas listed as protection and surveillance zones in Parts A and B of the Annex to this Decision.

It enumerates the different surveys and data sources to which it applies.(2) There is a growing demand by researchers and scientific community in general to have access for scientific purposes also to confidential data from the Structure of Earnings Survey. The Structure of Earnings Survey represents EU-wide harmonised structural data on gross earnings, hours paid and annual days of paid holiday leave which are collected every four years under Council Regulation (EC) No 530/1999 of 9 March 1999 concerning structural statistics on earnings and on labour costs (3). Access to this confidential data would largely benefit the research work on earnings of individuals and their relation with the characteristics of the employer. This survey should therefore be added to the enumeration in Regulation (EC) No 831/2002.(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Statistical Confidentiality,.

It also allows the United Kingdom not to treat as supplies of services for consideration the private use of a car hired or leased by a taxable person for business purposes. The derogation removes the need for the hirer/lessee to keep records of private mileage travelled in business cars and to account for tax on the actual private mileage of each car. It is therefore a simplification measure but also limits the scope for abuse through incorrect record keeping.(5) The legal and factual circumstances which justified granting authorisation to apply the original derogation have not changed and are therefore still relevant.(6) In the light of Commission proposals to amend Directive 77/388/EEC with regard to restrictions on the right to deduct VAT, it is appropriate to extend the period of the authorisation until such relevant amendments come into force. However, this authorisation will expire on 31 December 2007 at the latest if no such amendments have entered into force by that date, enabling an assessment to be made at that time of the necessity for a derogation in the light of further discussions of the proposals held in the Council.(7) An extension will have no impact on the European Communities' own resources accruing from value added tax,. Article 3 of Decision 98/198/EC shall be replaced by the following:‘Article 3This authorisation shall expire on the date of entry into force of Community rules determining what expenditure relating to motorised road vehicles is not to be eligible for full deduction of value added tax, but on 31 December 2007 at the latest.’ This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland..

On 1 September 2008 those Directives were replaced by Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Under that Regulation the Community control programme of pesticide residues is to cover food of animal origin in addition to food of plant origin and it is to take the form of a binding act. It should therefore be adopted as a Regulation. It should be without prejudice to Council Directive 96/23/EC of 29 April 1996 on measures to monitor certain substances and residues thereof in live animals and animal products and repealing Directives 85/358/EEC and 86/469/EEC and Decisions 89/187/EEC and 91/664/EEC (2).(2) Thirty foodstuffs constitute the major components of the diet in the Community. Since pesticide uses show significant changes over a period of three years, pesticides should be monitored in those thirty foodstuffs over a series of three-year cycles to allow consumer exposure and the application of Community legislation to be assessed.(3) On the basis of a binomial probability distribution, it can be calculated that examination of 642 samples allows, with a certainty of more than 99 %, the detection of a sample containing pesticide residues above the limit of determination (LOD), provided that not less than 1 % of the products contain residues above that limit. Collection of these samples should be apportioned among Member States according to population numbers, with a minimum of 12 samples per product and per year.(4) Where the residue definition of a pesticide includes other active substances, metabolites or breakdown products, those metabolites should be reported separately.(5) Guidance concerning ‘Method validation and quality control procedures for pesticide residue analysis in food and feed’ is published on the Commission website (3).(6) For the sampling procedures Commission Directive 2002/63/EC of 11 July 2002 establishing Community methods of sampling for the official control of pesticide residues in and on products of plant and animal origin and repealing Directive 79/700/EEC (4) which incorporates the sampling methods and procedures recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission should apply.(7) It is also necessary to assess whether maximum residue levels for baby food established provided for in Article 10 of Commission Directive 2006/141/EC of 22 December 2006 on infant formulae and follow-on formulae and amending Directive 1999/21/EC (5) and Article 7 of Commission Directive 2006/125/EC of 5 December 2006 on processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for infants and young children (6) are respected.(8) It is necessary to assess possible aggregate, cumulative and synergistic effects of pesticides. This assessment should start with some organophosphates, carbamates, triazoles and pyrethroides, as set out in Annex I.(9) Member States should submit by 31 August of each year the information concerning the previous calendar year.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Member States shall, during the years 2009, 2010 and 2011 take and analyse samples for the product/pesticide residue combinations, as set out in Annex I.The number of samples of each product shall be as set out in Annex II. 1.   The lot to be sampled shall be chosen randomly.The sampling procedure, including the number of units, shall comply with Directive 2002/63/EC.2.   The samples taken and analysed shall include at least:(a) ten samples of baby food based mainly on vegetables, fruits or cereals;(b) one sample, where available, from products originating from organic farming that reflects the market share of organic products in each Member State. 1.   Member States shall submit the results of the analysis of samples tested in 2009, 2010 and 2011 by 31 August 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively.In addition to those results, Member States shall provide the following information:(a) the analytical methods used and reporting levels achieved, in accordance with the guidance on Method validation and quality control procedures for pesticide residue analysis in food and feed;(b) limit of determination applied in the national and community control programmes;(c) details of the accreditation status of the analytical laboratories involved in the control;(d) where permitted by national legislation, details of enforcement measures taken;(e) in case of MRL exceedance, a statement of the possible reasons why the MRLs were exceeded, together with any appropriate observations regarding risk management options.2.   Where the residue definition of a pesticide includes active substances, metabolites and/or breakdown or reaction products, Member States shall report the analysis results in accordance with the legal residue definition. Where relevant, the results of each of the main isomers or metabolites mentioned in the residue definition shall be submitted separately.

In cases of mergers and scissions it is also appropriate to allow farmers to bring payment entitlements allocated from the national reserve into the resulting new holding or holdings.(3) Experience shows that for a decoupled income support the rules governing the eligibility of agricultural areas may be simple. In particular, it is appropriate to simplify the rules applicable to the single payment scheme for agricultural areas planted with olive trees.(4) In Malta, a majority of farmers in the beef and veal sector do not have any land at their disposal. Under these specific circumstances, the application of the special conditions laid down in Article 71m of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 could create serious difficulties for the sustainable development of the beef and veal sector and an excessive administrative workload. It is appropriate to provide for simplified conditions for the single payment scheme payments to the farmers concerned in Malta.(5) Currently, those Member States among the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (hereinafter referred to as ‘the new Member States’) that apply the single area payment scheme are excluded from the Community aid for energy crops. The review of the energy crops scheme pursuant to Article 92 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 has shown that it is appropriate to extend the aid for energy crops to all Member States as from 2007 and under the same conditions. Therefore the maximum guaranteed area should be increased proportionally, the schedule of increments provided for the introduction of support schemes in the new Member States should not apply to the energy crops scheme and the rules governing the single area payment scheme should be amended.(6) In order to strengthen the role of permanent energy crops and to provide an incentive to increase the production of these crops, Member States should be entitled to grant national aid up to 50 % of the costs associated with establishing permanent crops for the areas which have been subject to an application for the aid for energy crops.(7) Sugar beet and cane producers in the new Member States have benefited since accession from price support under Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (2). Therefore, the Community aid for sugar beet and cane producers established in Chapter 10f of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 should not be subject to the application of the schedule of increments provided for in Article 143a of that Regulation, with effect from the day of application of the aid for sugar beet and cane producers. It is also appropriate to clarify the conditions for the application of this aid and the calculation of the payment to be granted to the farmers concerned.(8) Experience shows that the single area payment scheme is an efficient and simple system of granting decoupled income support to farmers. For the sake of simplification it is appropriate to allow the new Member States to continue applying it until the end of year 2010. Nevertheless, it is not deemed appropriate to extend beyond 2008 the exemption, granted to Member States applying the single area payment scheme, from the obligation to introduce into cross-compliance statutory management requirements. To ensure coherence of certain rural development measures with this non-extension, Article 51 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 (3) should take account thereof.(9) Under normal circumstances, farmers may agree between themselves the conditions under which the holding (or part of the holding) having beneficiated from the separate sugar payment is transferred. However, in the case of inheritance, it is appropriate to provide that the inheritor be granted the separate sugar payment.(10) The 2005 Act of Accession and this Regulation both amend Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and those amendments should come into force on the same day. In the interest of legal certainty, the order in which those amendments are to be applied should be specified.(11) Regulations (EC) No 1782/2003 and (EC) No 1698/2005 should be amended accordingly.(12) Council Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 of 30 January 2006 laying down specific measures for agriculture in the outermost regions of the Union (4) amended Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003. Due to an error, the entries for olive oil and hops did not take into account the amendments to that Annex introduced by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2183/2005 of 22 December 2005 amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers and amending Regulation (EC) No 795/2004 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of the single payment scheme provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003. Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 should therefore be corrected accordingly, with effect from the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 2183/2005,.

Germany evaluated the additional information and submitted to the Commission on 6 November 2009 an addendum to the draft assessment report on penconazole, which was circulated for comments to the other Member States and to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In the comments received no major concerns were raised and the other Member States and EFSA did not raise any point which would exclude the extension of the use. The draft assessment report together with that addendum was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 11 May 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for penconazole.(3) The new information on the fate and behaviour of the metabolite U1 submitted by the notifier and the new assessment carried out by the rapporteur Member State indicate that plant protection products containing penconazole may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the intended uses as set out in the original dossier which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. Consequently, it is no longer necessary to restrict the use of penconazole to greenhouses, as laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC as amended by Directive 2009/77/EC.(4) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the notifier submit further information on the fate and behaviour of the soil metabolite CGA179944 in acidic soils.(5) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall adopt and publish by 30 June 2010 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 July 2010.When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication.

The National Fund Department within the Ministry of Public Finance has been appointed for the financial functions it is due to perform in the framework of the implementation of Sapard.(4) On the basis of a case-by-case analysis of the national and sectorial programme/project management capacity, financial control procedures and structures regarding public finance, as provided for in Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999, the Commission adopted Decision 2002/638/EC of 31 July 2002 (3) and Decision 2003/846/EC of 5 December 2003 (4) conferring management of aid on implementing agencies for pre-accession measures in agriculture and rural development in Romania in the pre-accession period with regard to certain measures provided for in Sapard.(5) The Commission has undertaken a further analysis under Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 in respect of measure 1.2 ‘Improving the structures for quality, veterinary and plant-health controls, for the quality of foodstuffs and consumer protection’; measure 3.2 ‘Setting-up producers’ groups’; measure 3.3 ‘Agricultural production methods designed to protect the environment and maintain the countryside’ and measure 3.5 ‘Forestry’ as provided for in Sapard. The Commission considers that, also with regard to those measures, Romania complies with the provisions of Articles 4 to 6 and of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2222/2000 of 7 June 2000 laying down financial rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 on Community support for pre-accession measures for agriculture and rural development in the applicant countries of central and eastern Europe in the pre-accession period (5), and with the minimum conditions set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999.(6) It is therefore appropriate to waive the ex-ante approval requirement referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 and to confer with regard to measure 1.2, measure 3.2, measure 3.3 and measure 3.5, on the SAPARD Agency and on the Ministry of Public Finance, National Fund, in Romania the management of aid on a decentralised basis.(7) However, since the verifications carried out by the Commission for measure 1.2, measure 3.2, measure 3.3 and measure 3.5 are based on a system that is not yet fully operating with regard to all relevant elements, it is therefore appropriate to confer the management of the SAPARD Programme on the SAPARD Agency and on the Ministry of Public Finance, National Fund, according to Article 3(2) of Regulation No 2222/2000, on a provisional basis.(8) Full conferral of management of the Sapard is only envisaged after further verifications, in order to ensure that the system operates satisfactorily, have been carried out and after any recommendations the Commission may issue, with regard to the conferral of management of aid on the SAPARD Agency, in the subordination of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forests, Waters and Environment and on the Ministry of Public Finance, National Fund, have been implemented.(9) On 6 October 2005 the Romanian Authorities proposed the rules for eligibility of expenditure for measure 1.2, measure 3.2 and measure 3.5, in accordance with Article 4(1) of Section B of the Multi-Annual Financing Agreement. The Commission is called upon to take a decision in this respect. Concerning measure 3.3, the rules for eligibility of expenditure are provided in the Sapard,. The requirement of ex-ante approval by the Commission of project selection and contracting for measure 1.2, measure 3.2, measure 3.3 and measure 3.5 by Romania provided for in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1266/1999 is hereby waived.

substance and amending Decision 2008/934/EC Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included pyridaben.(2) In accordance with Article 11e of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the applicant withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within two months from receipt of the draft assessment report. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of pyridaben.(3) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).(4) The application was submitted to the Netherlands, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.(5) The Netherlands evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 15 June 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on pyridaben to the Commission on 28 May 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 28 October 2010 in the format of the Commission review report for pyridaben.(6) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing pyridaben may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include pyridaben in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.(7) Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit further information to confirm the results of the risk assessment on the basis of most recent scientific knowledge as regards the exposure to the aqueous photolysis metabolites W-1 and B-3, the long term risk for mammals, the assessment of fat soluble residues.(8) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.(9) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of six months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing pyridaben to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.(10) The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8 (2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (7) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.(11) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.(12) Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of pyridaben and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning pyridaben in the Annex to that Decision.(13) It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.(14) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive. The line concerning pyridaben in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted. Member States shall adopt and publish by 31 October 2011 at the latest the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 November 2011.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. 1.   Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing pyridaben as an active substance by 1 November 2011.By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to pyridaben are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing pyridaben as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 30 April 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning pyridaben. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.Following that determination Member States shall:(a) in the case of a product containing pyridaben as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 April 2015 at the latest; or(b) in the case of a product containing pyridaben as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 30 April 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective Directive or Directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.

Commission Decision 1999/43/EC (2) confirmed that the dossier was ‘complete’ in the sense that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annexes II and III to Directive 91/414/EEC.(2) For that active substance, the effects on human and animal health and the environment have been assessed, in accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, for the uses proposed by the applicant. The designated rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report on 28 March 2001.(3) For profoxydim the draft assessment report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health.

On 4 May 2001 the Security Council established that the Liberian authorities did not comply with the requests from the UNSC. The necessary measures should therefore also be taken to prevent the imports of rough diamonds from Liberia, whether or not such diamonds originate in Liberia.(3) Some of these measures fall under the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, notably with a view to avoiding distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary to implement the relevant decisions of the Security Council as far as the territory of the Community is concerned. For the purpose of this Regulation, the territory of the Community is deemed to encompass the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty.(4) The Commission and the Member States should inform each other of the measures taken under this Regulation and of other relevant information at their disposal in connection with this Regulation, and cooperate with the Committee established by paragraph 14 of UNSCR 1343(2001), in particular by supplying information to it.(5) Violations of the provisions of this Regulation should be subject to sanctions and Member States should impose appropriate sanctions to that end. It is, moreover, desirable that sanctions for violations of the provisions of this Regulation can be imposed as from the date of entry into force of this Regulation and that Member States institute proceedings against any persons, entities or bodies under their jurisdiction that have violated any of the said provisions,. 1. Without prejudice to the powers of the Member States in the exercise of their public authority, it shall be prohibited to provide Liberia with technical training or assistance related to the provision, manufacture, maintenance or use of arms and related material of all types including weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, paramilitary equipment, and spare parts for the aforementioned.2. The prohibition referred to in paragraph 1 shall not apply in cases where the Committee established by paragraph 14 of UNSCR 1343(2001) has granted an exemption in advance. Such exemptions shall be obtained through the competent authorities of the Member States listed in Annex II to this Regulation. 1. The direct or indirect import into the Community of all rough diamonds as defined in Annex I from Liberia, whether originating there or not, shall be prohibited.2. The Commission is hereby authorised to amend Annex I in order to bring it into line with changes that may be made to the Combined Nomenclature. Without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the Member States under the Charter of the United Nations, the Commission shall maintain all necessary contacts with the Committee established by paragraph 14 of UNSCR 1343(2001) for the purpose of the effective implementation of this Regulation. The Commission and the Member States shall immediately inform each other of the measures taken under this Regulation and shall supply each other with relevant information at their disposal in connection with this Regulation, in particular information in respect of violation and enforcement problems and judgments handed down by national courts. This Regulation shall apply notwithstanding any rights conferred, or obligations imposed, by any international agreement signed or any contract entered into or any licence or permit granted before the entry into force of this Regulation. 1. Each Member State shall determine the sanctions to be imposed where the provisions of this Regulation are infringed. Such sanctions shall be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.Pending the adoption, where necessary, of any legislation to this end, the sanctions to be imposed where the provisions of this Regulation are infringed, shall be those determined by the Member States in order to give effect to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 467/2001(2).2. Each Member State shall be responsible for bringing proceedings against any natural or legal person, entity or body under its jurisdiction, in cases of violation of any of the prohibitions laid down in this Regulation by such person, entity or body. This Regulation shall apply- within the territory of the Community, including its airspace,- on board any aircraft or any vessel under the jurisdiction of a Member State,- to any person elsewhere who is a national of a Member State, and- to any legal person, entity or body which is incorporated or constituted under the law of a Member State.

Recently a formaline-inactivated vaccine has received conditional approval by the competent authorities.

The fragmented production of such cheeses further aggravates the consequences of that seasonality. Therefore, provision should be made for recourse to seasonal storage in respect of a quantity corresponding to the difference between summer and winter production.(3) The types of cheeses, including those from the new Member States, eligible for aid and the maximum quantities which may qualify for it should be laid down, as well as the duration of the contracts in relation to the real requirements of the market and the keeping qualities of the cheeses in question. The cheeses eligible for aid in Ireland should also be specified, targeting those which might cause a market imbalance.(4) The market situation of Pecorino Romano, with surpluses and a marked drop in prices, justifies making a larger quantity of that cheese eligible for aid than in the past.(5) It is necessary to specify the terms of the storage contract and the essential measures to enable the cheese covered by a contract to be identified and subjected to checks. The amount of aid must be fixed with reference to storage costs and the balance to be maintained between cheeses qualifying for the aid and other cheeses marketed. To that end the amount for the fixed costs should be reduced and the amount for the financial costs should be calculated on the basis of an interest rate of 2 %.(6) Detailed rules should also be laid down regarding documentation, accounting and the frequency and nature of checks. In this connection, it should be laid down that the Member States may charge the costs of checks fully or in part charged to the contractor.(7) To ensure monitoring of the implementation of the storage aid scheme, information about the quantities of cheese involved should be transmitted to the Commission on a regular basis.(8) The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit set by its chairman,. PurposeThis Regulation lays down the detailed rules for granting Community aid for private storage of certain cheeses (hereinafter referred to as ‘aid’) pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 during the 2004/05 storage year. DefinitionsFor the purpose of this Regulation:(a) ‘storage lot’ means a quantity of cheese weighing at least two tonnes, of the same type and taken into storage in a single storage depot on a single day;(b) ‘day of commencement of contractual storage’, means the day following that of entry into storage;(c) ‘last day of contractual storage’, means the day before that of removal from storage;(d) ‘storage period’, means the period during which the cheese can be covered by the private storage scheme, as specified for each type of cheese in the Annex. Cheeses eligible for aid1.   Aid shall be granted in respect of certain long-keeping cheeses, Pecorino Romano, Kefalotyri and Kasseri cheese under the terms laid down in the Annex.2.   The cheeses must have been manufactured in the Community and satisfy the following conditions:(a) be indelibly marked with an indication of the undertaking in which they were manufactured and of the day and month of manufacture; the above details may be in code form;(b) have undergone quality tests which establish their classification after maturing in the categories laid down in the Annex. Storage contract1.   Contracts relating to the private storage of cheese shall be concluded between the intervention agency of the Member State on whose territory the cheese is stored and natural or legal persons, hereinafter called ‘contractors’.2.   Storage contracts shall be drawn up in writing on the basis of an application to draw up a contract.Applications must reach intervention agencies within no more than 30 days of the date of entry into storage and may relate only to lots of cheese which have been fully taken into storage. The intervention agencies shall register the date on which each application is received.If the application reaches the intervention agency within 10 working days following the deadline, the storage contract may still be concluded but the aid shall be reduced by 30 %.3.   Storage contracts shall be concluded for one or more storage lots and shall include, in particular, provisions concerning:(a) the quantity of cheese to which the contract applies;(b) the dates relating to the execution of the contract;(c) the amount of aid;(d) the identity of the storage depots.4.   Storage contracts shall be concluded within no more than 30 days of the date of registration of the application to draw up a contract.5.   Control measures, particularly those referred to in Article 7, shall be the subject of specifications drawn up by the intervention agency. The storage contract shall refer to those specifications. Entry into and removal from storage1.   The periods of entry into and removal from storage shall be as laid down in the Annex.2.   Removal from storage shall be in whole storage lots.3.   Where, at the end of the first 60 days of contractual storage, the deterioration in the quality of the cheese is greater than is normal in store, contractors may be authorised, once per storage lot, to replace the defective quantity, at their own expense.If checks during storage or on removal from storage reveal defective quantities, no aid may be paid for those quantities. In addition, the part of the lot which is still eligible for aid may not be less than two tonnes.The second subparagraph shall apply where part of a lot is removed before the start of the period of removal from storage referred to in paragraph 1 or before expiry of the minimum storage period referred to in Article 8(2).4.   For the purpose of calculating the aid in the case referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 3, the first day of contractual storage shall be the day of commencement of contractual storage. Storage conditions1.   The Member State shall ensure that all the conditions granting entitlement to payment of the aid are fulfilled.2.   The contractor or, at the request of the Member State or with its authorisation, the person responsible for the storage depot, shall make available to the competent authority responsible for inspection any documentation permitting verification of the following particulars of products placed in private storage:(a) ownership at the time of placing in storage;(b) the origin and the date of manufacture of the cheeses;(c) the date of placing in storage;(d) presence in the store and the address of the store;(e) the date of removal from storage.3.   The contractor or, where applicable, the person responsible for the storage depot shall keep stock records available at the depot for each contract, covering:(a) the identification, by storage lot number, of the products placed in private storage;(b) the dates of entry into and removal from storage;(c) the number of cheeses and their weight by storage lot;(d) the location of the products in the store.4.   Products stored must be easily identifiable, easily accessible and identified individually by contract. A special mark shall be affixed to stored cheeses. Checks1.   On entry into storage the competent agency shall conduct checks, in particular to ensure that products stored are eligible for the aid and to prevent any possibility of substitution of products during storage under contract.2.   The competent agency shall make an unannounced check, by sampling, to ensure that the products are present in the storage depot. The sample concerned must be representative and must correspond to at least 10 % of the overall quantity under contract for a private storage aid measure.Such checks must include, in addition to an examination of the accounts referred to in Article 6(3), a physical check of the weight and type of products and their identification. Such physical checks must relate to at least 5 % of the quantity subjected to the unannounced check.3.   At the end of the contractual storage period, the competent agency shall check to see that products are present. However, where the products are still in storage after expiry of the maximum contractual storage period, this check may be made when the products are removed from storage.For the purposes of the check referred to in the first subparagraph, the contractor shall notify the competent authority, indicating the storage lots concerned, at least five working days before the expiry of the contractual storage period or the start of the removal operations, where these take place during or after the contractual storage period.The Member State may accept a shorter time-limit than the five working days specified in the second subparagraph.4.   A report shall be drawn up on the checks carried out pursuant to paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, specifying:(a) the date of the check;(b) its duration;(c) the operations carried out.The report must be signed by the inspector responsible and countersigned by the contractor or, as the case may be, the person responsible for the storage depot, and must be included in the payment dossier.5.   In the case of irregularities affecting at least 5 % of the quantities of products checked, the check shall be extended to a larger sample to be determined by the competent authority.The Member States shall notify such cases to the Commission within four weeks.6.   Member States may provide that the costs of checks are to be fully or in part charged to the contractor.

Therefore, in accordance with Article 8(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, Annex IV to that Regulation shall be reviewed.(6) Since the difficulties to its agricultural sector provoked by the economic crisis persist with a continuing negative impact on the economic situation of farmers, Portugal has communicated to the Commission that it has decided not to apply the voluntary modulation foreseen from 2010 until 2012. Therefore, in accordance with Article 8(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, the net amount resulting from the application of the voluntary modulation in Portugal fixed by Commission Decision 2009/780/EC (3) should for those years be added to the national ceiling for Portugal as set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.(7) Annexes IV and VIII to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,.

The provisions of Directive 70/156/EEC relating to systems, components and separate technical units for vehicles therefore apply to Directive 2003/97/EC.(2) In order to reduce the blind spot of N2 vehicles of mass not exceeding 7,5 tonnes, it is necessary to modify certain requirements laid down in Directive 2003/97/EC.(3) Since 2003, technical progress with regard to rear view mirrors has advanced considerably. It is now possible to install wide-angle rear-view mirrors on some N2 vehicles of mass not exceeding 7,5 tonnes. It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 2003/97/EC by extending the obligation to fit Class IV wide-angle mirrors to those vehicles of category N2 having a cabin similar to that of N3 vehicles. The appropriate criterion for distinguishing the two types of N2 vehicles should be whether a class V close-proximity mirror can be fitted.(4) Vehicles having seats with a fixed seat-back angle would not be able to fulfil the standard requirements. A correction factor for such vehicles should therefore be introduced.(5) It is also appropriate to amend the administrative provisions for type-approval by introducing the distinguishing numbers of the Member States which acceded to the Community on 1 May 2004.(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Adaptation to Technical Progress set up under Article 13(1) of Directive 70/156/EEC,.

They are designed to assist investments of an innovative nature and, in particular, those aimed at the installation of high-technology machinery and equipment and the development of office automation and biotechnology.IIAfter scrutinizing the aid proposal under Article 93 (3) of the Treaty, on the basis of an analysis of the market in the products concerned and of the information furnished by the French authorities, the Commission decided, on 18 December 1985, to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 93 (2) in respect of the aid consisting of the FIM loan of FF 70 million to the abovementioned mineral-water and glass-bottle manufacturer on grounds of the aid's effect on trade between Member States and on competition between the recipient firm and its rivals in the Community.As part of that procedure, the Commission gave the French Government, the other Member States and interested parties other than Member States notice to submit their comments.On 2 April 1986 the French Government answered the letter the Commission had sent it on 24 December 1985 informing it of the initiation of the Article 93 (2) procedure.It argued among other things that the grant of the FIM loan in question would not threaten between Member States but would contribute to the development of activities in a manner in keeping with the European interest. The loan would help finance investments aimed at introducing innovative technology, automating the entire production process and improving the control both of quality and of energy savings.Within the framework of the consultation of other interested parties, the Governments of three Member States and an industry federation sent their comments to the Commission.IIIThe FIM loan planned by the French Government contains elements of aid within the meaning of Article 92 (1) because it would enable the recipient firm to be relieved, through State resources, of a part of the cost of the investment which it would normally have to bear itself.Between 1975 and 1984, the production and consumption of mineral water in the Community grew by approximately 40 %, from about 63 million hectolitres to about 88 million hectolitres. The size of the increase differed from one Member State to another.France is the Community's largest producer with an output of 33,8 million hectolitres in 1983, followed, in descending order, by Germany, Italy and Belgium.In some Member States, annual per capita consumption is still very low (a few litres) but is tending to increase rapidly, whereas in France and Belgium it is in the region of 55 litres and in Germany 50 litres.Over the same period, intra-Community trade in such water practically doubled, from 289 000 tonnes to 583 000 tonnes, attaining a value of 224,8 million ECU and accounting for 6,3 % of production. In 1984, French exports represented about 73 % in volume and more than 80 % in value of that trade, although French production accounts for less than 40 % of Community production.Some 90 % of the production and marketing of mineral water in France is in the hands of four large industrial groups. The recipient of the FIM loan in question is the biggest of those groups and ranks first in its sector in the Community. Its share of the French market comes to about 30 % in the case of non-effervescent water and over 50 % in that of effervescent water. The firm exports much of its production both to the other Member States and to non-member countries. Its turnover from the sale of mineral water is steadily increasing (FF 2 618 million in 1983/84 compared with FF 2 344 million in 1982/83).Export earnings totalled FF 887 million in 1983/84, over half of which from sales in other Member States, against FF 738 million in 1982/83.As far as glass bottles and flasks are concerned, hollow glass output in the Community fell in the 1980s, owing mainly to the utilization of competing materials and to energy costs; as a result, a number of plants have closed in the Member States. In France, on the other hand, hollow glass production has increased by 8 % since 1979 (Community = -5 %); in 1983, the French industry's output was the highest in the Community, accounting for 27 % of Community production. France nevertheless remains a net importer of hollow glass.Glass is still the preferred material for bottling effervescent beverages. However, in several Member States including France, plastic is overtaking it in the mineral water market. The cost of the container is one of the factors determining the production cost of drinks.In view of the above considerations, the situation in the market concerned and the position of the firm in question in that market, the aid contemplated by the French Government is likely to affect trade between Member States and distort competition within the meaning of Article 92 (1) by favouring the firm concerned and French drinks and hollow glass production.Where financial assistance from the State strengthens the position of certain firms compared with that of others competing with them in the Community, it must be regarded as affecting those other firms.Article 92 (1) provides that aid having the features there described is in principle incompatible with the common market. The exceptions to this principle provided for in Article 92 (2) are inapplicable in this case in view of the nature and objectives of the proposed aid.Under Article 92 (3), aid capable of being considered compatible with the common market must be assessed in the Community context and not in that of a single Member State. To safeguard the proper functioning of the common market and take account of the principles set out in Article 3 (f) of the Treaty, the exceptions to the principle laid down in Article 92 (1) set out in paragraph 3 of that Article must be constructed narrowly when any aid scheme or individual award is scrutinized. In particular, they may be invoked only when the Commission is satisfied that, without the aid, market forces alone would be insufficient to guide recipients towards patterns of behaviour that would serve one of the objectives sought.To invoke the exceptions in the case of aid that did not serve such an objective, or where the aid was not necessary for that purpose, would be to give unfair advantages to the industries or firms of certain Member States, whose financial position would be artificially strengthened, and to allow trading conditions between Member States to be affected and competition to be distorted without any justification on grounds of the common interest referred to in Article 92 (3).In view of the above, the proposed aid does not fall into any of the categories of exception provided for in Article 92 (3). With regard to the provisions set out in subparagraphs (a) and (c) of that paragraph concerning aid to promote the development of certain areas, the areas where the investment is to be undertaken are not suffering from an abnormally low standard of living or serious underemployment within the meaning of the exception provided for in subparagraph (a).As to the exception referred to in subparagraph (c), the aid planned by the French Government is not likely to facilitate the development of certain economic areas within the meaning of that provision.FIM loans are as a rule not granted to firms doing business in economic sectors and in areas determined in advance.They are therefore not intended to compensate for regional handicaps, and in this particular case the French Government has at all events not invoked grounds of this nature in order to justify the grant of the FF 70 million loan to the firm concerned.As far as the exceptions provided for in Article 92 (3) (b) are concerned, it is obvious that the aid at issue is not intended to support a project of common European interest or to remedy a serious disturbance in the French economy.Lastly, as regards the exception provided for in Article 92 (3) (c) in favour of aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities, the FIM loan is principally aimed at modernizing and expanding production plant. Such investments, which are necessary to enable the recipient firm to respond effectively to increasing demand for the products in question, are as a rule carried out without the need for incentives in the form of aid. It is only natural and in the producer's own interest that it should use the most efficient technology and materials permitting a reduction in overheads, including energy consumption.The French firm's competitors are faced with the same problems without their being able to qualify for aid to cover part of the cost of solving them. To agree to the grant of the FF 70 million FIM loan to the abovementioned French mineral-water manufacturer would be tantamount to inflicting on its competitors a disadvantage which might take the form of an unjustified drop in their sales.For these reasons, by Decisions 82/774/EEC (1), 82/775/EEC (2) and 82/776/EEC (3), the Commission found that aid planned by the Belgian Government for altogether similar investments by mineral-water and soft-drinks manufacturers in Belgium were incompatible with the common market and should therefore not be awarded. As the situation in the sector concerned has not changed much since, the Commission feels it must be guided by the same sectoral considerations in the present case.Consequently, aid for the modernization and expansion of the production plants concerned does not fulfil the requirements of the development of the sector in question without adversely affecting trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest within the meaning of Article 92 (3) (c),. The grant of a FF 70 million FIM loan, constituting aid within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty, to a firm manufacturing glass bottles and effervescent and non-efferverscent mineral water, notified to the Commission by letter dated 11 November 1985, is incompatible with the common market and may not be implemented by the French Government. The French Government shall take whatever steps are necessary to comply with this Decision within one month of the date of its notification and shall inform the Commission thereof within the same period. This Decision is addressed to the French Republic..

The Group should assist and advise the Commission on radio spectrum policy issues such as radio spectrum availability, harmonisation and allocation of radio spectrum, provision of information concerning allocation, availability and use of radio spectrum, methods for granting rights to use spectrum, refarming, relocation, valuation and efficient use of radio spectrum as well as protection of human health.(4) The Group should contribute to the development of a radio spectrum policy in the Community that takes into account not only technical parameters but also economic, political, cultural, strategic, health and social considerations, as well as the various potentially conflicting needs of radio spectrum users with a view to ensuring that a fair, non-discriminatory and proportionate balance is achieved.(5) The Group should gather high-level governmental experts from the Member States and a high level representative of the Commission. The Group could also include observers and invite other persons to attend meetings as appropriate, including regulators, competition authorities, market participants, user or consumer groups. The Group should therefore allow cooperation between Member States and the Commission in such a way as to contribute to the development of the internal market.(6) As the focal point for addressing radio spectrum policy issues in the context of all relevant Community policies, close operational links should be maintained between the Group and specific groups or committees established for the implementation of sectoral Community policies including transport policy, internal market policy for radio equipment, audiovisual policy, space policy, and communications.(7) The Radio Spectrum Decision has created a Radio Spectrum Committee to assist the Commission in the elaboration of binding implementing measures addressing harmonised conditions for the availability and efficient use of radio spectrum. The work of the Group should not interfere with the work of the Committee.(8) In order to guarantee effective discussions, each national delegation attending the Group should have a consolidated and coordinated national view of all policies which affect the use of radio spectrum in that Member State in relation not only to the internal market but also to public order, public security, civil protection and defence policies as the use of radio spectrum for such policies may influence the organisation of radio spectrum as a whole. At present, different national government departments have responsibility over different parts of the radio spectrum.(9) The Group should consult extensively and in a forward-looking manner on technological, market and regulatory developments relating to the use of radio spectrum with all radio spectrum users involved, both commercial and non-commercial, as well as with any other interested parties.(10) The use of radio spectrum does not stop at borders and given the forthcoming accession of additional Member States, the Group may be opened to these countries and to countries which are members of the European Economic Area.(11) CEPT (European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications administrations, comprising 44 European countries) should be invited as observer with the work of the Group considering the impact of the activities of the Group on radio spectrum at a pan-European level and considering the technical expertise gained by CEPT and its affiliate bodies in radio spectrum management. It is also appropriate to draw on such expertise on the basis of mandates to be granted pursuant to the Radio Spectrum Decision in view to the development of technical implementing measures in the areas of radio spectrum allocation and information availability. In view of the importance of European standardisation for the development of equipment using radio spectrum, it is likewise important to associate as observer the European Telecommunications Standardisation Institute (ETSI),. Subject matterAn advisory group on radio spectrum policy, called the Radio Spectrum Policy Group (hereinafter referred to as the Group), is hereby established. AimsThe Group shall assist and advise the Commission on radio spectrum policy issues, on coordination of policy approaches and, where appropriate, on harmonised conditions with regard to the availability and efficient use of radio spectrum necessary for the establishment and functioning of the internal market. MembershipThe Group shall be composed of one high level governmental expert from each Member State as well as of a high-level representative from the Commission.The Commission shall provide the secretariat to the Group. Operational arrangementsAt the Commission's request or at its own initiative, the Group shall adopt opinions to be addressed to the Commission, upon consensus or, if not possible, on the basis of a simple majority, each member having one vote except the Commission which shall not vote. Dissenting opinions shall be attached to the adopted opinions. Observers may participate in the deliberation but shall not vote.The Group shall elect a chairperson from among its members. The Commission may organise the work of the Group into subgroups and expert working groups as appropriate.The Commission shall convene the meetings of the Group through the secretariat in agreement with the chairperson. The Group shall adopt its rules of procedure upon a proposal from the Commission, by consensus or, in the absence of consensus, by a two-thirds majority vote, one vote being expressed per Member State, subject to the approval of the Commission.The Group may invite observers, including those from EEA States and those States that are candidates for accession to the European Union, as well as from the European Parliament, CEPT and ETSI, to attend its meetings and it may hear experts and interested parties. ConsultationThe Group shall consult extensively and at an early stage with market participants, consumers and end-users in an open and transparent manner. ConfidentialityWithout prejudice to the provisions of Article 287 of the Treaty, where the Commission informs them that the opinion requested or the question raised is on a matter of a confidential nature, members of the Group as well as observers and any other person attending shall be under an obligation not to disclose information which has come to their knowledge through the work of the Group, its subgroups or expert working groups. The Commission may decide in such cases that only members of the Group may be present at meetings.

Accordingly, pursuant to Commission Implementing Decisions 2014/43/EU (3), as confirmed by Commission Implementing Decision 2014/93/EU (4), and to Commission Implementing Decision 2014/178/EU (5), Lithuania is to ensure that the area within its territory where that disease is present comprises at least the infected area listed in the Annexes to these Decisions.(2) With a view to preventing the spread of African swine fever and in order to prevent any further disturbance of trade within Lithuania and abroad, Lithuania adopted on 17 February 2014 (6) some additional preventive measures in that infected area. As a consequence, the marketing of live pigs, including piglets, fresh pigmeat and pigmeat products from that infected area is subject to particular surveillance measures, to an obligatory labelling with a special health mark and to the application of some marketing restrictions within the single market.(3) The restrictions on the marketing of live pigs, including piglets, fresh pigmeat and pigmeat products resulting from the application of these veterinary measures imply an important price reduction in the affected areas and are causing disruption of the markets for piglets and pigmeat in those areas. Therefore, on 13 March 2014 Lithuania requested that the Commission introduce exceptional market support measures as provided for in Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. Such measures, applying solely to piglets, pigs and sows reared in the areas directly affected by the restrictions, should be adopted for the time strictly necessary.(4) The aid amount should be expressed for piglets as an amount per head for a limited number of piglets, and per 100 kilogrammes of carcass weight of other eligible animals for a limited quantity of pigmeat and with a maximum compensable carcass weight per animal. The aid amount should be set taking into account recent market information.(5) For piglets and other pigs reared in the areas concerned, the support should be conditional on the delivery of the animals to the slaughterhouses, their slaughter and on the respect of the stricter veterinary rules applicable in the areas concerned on the day of delivery.(6) Commission Implementing Decision 2014/236/EU (7) provides for Union financial support compensating pig owners for losses caused by early slaughter of pigs in the infected areas in order to minimise the risk of disease spread. Lithuania and Poland intend to decrease the density of susceptible hosts in low bio-security pig holdings in the infected area by promoting the slaughter of pigs and preventing restocking of pig holdings for at least one year (8). Therefore, and in order to avoid any risk of double funding, the aid payable under this Regulation should be limited to pig producers not benefiting from the financial contribution for early slaughter laid down in Implementing Decision 2014/236/EU. For the same reason a corresponding restriction should apply to Poland. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 324/2014 (9) should therefore be amended accordingly.(7) Provision should be made for the competent authorities in Lithuania to apply all controls and supervision measures required and to inform the Commission accordingly. Transport and slaughter of the eligible animals should be done under the control of the competent authorities who have to ensure as well that products derived thereof comply with the relevant marketing restrictions.(8) Restrictions on the marketing of live pigs and piglets and of fresh pigmeat and pigmeat products have applied for several weeks in the territories concerned and this situation has led to market disturbance and income losses for producers, as well as to a substantial increase in the animals' weight which has consequently brought about an intolerable animal welfare situation. Therefore, the measures provided for in this Regulation should cover the animals delivered to the slaughterhouse as from 17 February 2014, the date of adoption of the Lithuanian preventive measures. The market situation and the impact of this measure need to be reassessed in the light of future developments and therefore the measure should apply only for a period of three months.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,. 1.   Lithuania is authorised to grant aid in respect of the slaughtering of the following animals:(a) piglets covered by CN code 0103 91 10;(b) pigs covered by CN code 0103 92 19;(c) sows covered by CN code 0103 92 11.2.   The aid provided for in paragraph 1 shall only be granted if the following conditions are met:(a) the animals were reared in the areas listed in the Annex to Implementing Decisions 2014/43/EU or 2014/93/EU or in part II of the Annex to implementing Decision 2014/178/EU for the relevant periods, or in any other Commission Implementing Decision adopted in this regard, and the live pigs including piglets reared in those areas, as well as the pigmeat from animals reared in those areas, are submitted to certain marketing restrictions due to African swine fever;(b) the animals were present in the areas referred to in point (a) on 17 February 2014 or they were born and reared after that date in those areas;(c) the additional preventive measures established by the Order of Director of the State Food and Veterinary Service of Lithuania No B1-60 of 17 February 2014 on the extension of the buffer zone for African Swine Fever, or any other national rules adopted in this regard and submitting live pigs and pigmeat to marketing restrictions due to African swine fever, apply in the area where those animals were reared on the date they are delivered to a slaughterhouse;(d) the rules set by Implementing Decisions referred to in point (a) and the preventive measures referred to in point (c) are respected;(e) producers of pigmeat who apply for the aid provided for in paragraph 1 of this Article do not benefit from the financial contribution for early slaughter referred to in Article 1(3) of the Implementing Decision 2014/236/EU.

DETERMINATION OF CRUDE PROTEIN1. Purpose and scope.This method makes it possible to determine the crude protein content of feedingstuffs on the basis of the nitrogen content, determined according to the Kjeldahl method.2. Principle.The sample is digested by sulfuric acid in the presence of a catalyst. The acid solution is made alkaline with sodium hydroxide solution. The ammonia is distilled and collected in a measured quantity of sulfuric acid, the excess of which is titrated with a standard solution of sodium hydroxide.3. Reagents.3.1. Potassium sulfate.3.2. Catalyst: copper (II) oxide CuO or copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate, CuSO4 · 5H2O3.3. Granulated zinc.3.4. Sulfuric acid, r20 = 1,84 g/ml.3.5. Sulfuric acid c(H2SO4) = 0,5 mol/l.3.6. Sulfuric acid c(H2SO4) = 0,1 mol/l.3.7. Methyl red indicator; dissolve 300 mg of methyl red in 100 ml of ethanol, s = 95-96 % (v/v)3.8. Sodium hydroxide solution (Technical grade may be used) v = 40 g/100 ml (m/v : 40 %).3.9. Sodium hydroxide solution c = 0,25 ml/l.3.10. Sodium hydroxide solution c = 0,1 mol/l.3.11 Granulated pumice stone, washed in hydrochloric acid and ignited.3.12. Acetanilide (m.p. = 114 °C, N = 10,36 %)3.13. Sucrose (nitrogen free).4. Apparatus.Apparatus suitable for performing digestion, distillation and titration according to the Kjeldahl procedure.5. Procedure.5.1. Digestion.Weigh 1 g of the sample to the nearest 0,001 g and transfer the sample to the flask of the digestion apparatus. Add 15 g of potassium sulfate (3.1.), an appropriate quantity of catalyst (3.2) (0,3 to 0,4 g of copper (II) oxide or 0,9 to 1,2 g of copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate), 25 ml of sulfuric acid (3.4) and a few granules of pumice stone (3.11) and mix. Heat the flask moderately at first, swirling from time to time if necessary until the mass has carbonized and the foam has disappeared; then heat more intensively until the liquid is boiling steadily. Heating is adequate if the boiling acid condenses on the wall of the flask. Prevent the sides from becoming overheated and organic particles from sticking to them. When the solution becomes clear and light green continue to boil for another two hours, then leave to cool.5.2. Distillation.Add carefully enough water to ensure complete dissolution of the sulfates. Allow to cool and then add a few granules of zinc (3.3).Place in the collecting flask of the distillation apparatus an exactly measures quantity of 25 ml of sulfuric acid (3.5) or (3.6) depending on the presumed nitrogen content. Add a few drops of methyl red indicator (3.7).Connect the digestion flask to the condenser of the distillation apparatus and immerse the end of the condenser in the liquid contained in the collecting flask to a depth of at least 1 cm (see observation 8.3). Slowly pour 100 ml of sodium hydroxide solution (3.8) into the digestion flask without loss of ammonia (see observation 8.1).Heat the flask until the ammonia has distilled over.5.3. Titration.Titrade the excess sulfuric acid in the collecting flask with sodium hydroxide solution (3.9) or (3.10) depending on the concentration of the sulfuric acid used, until the end point is reached.5.4. Blank test.To confirm that the reagents are free from nitrogen, carry out a blank test (digestion, distillation and titration) using 1 g of sucrose (3.13) in place of the sample.6. Calculation of results.The content of crude protein is calculated according to the following formula:(V0 V1) × c × 0,014 × 100 × 6,25mWhere,Vo = Volume (ml) of NaOH (3.9 or 3.10) used in the blank test.V1 = Volume (ml) of NaOH (3.9 or 3.10) used in the sample titration.c = Concentration (mol/l) of sodium hydroxide (3.9 or 3.10).m = Mass (g) of sample.7. Verification of the method.7.1. Repeatability.The difference between the results of two parallel determinations carried out on the same sample must not exceed:0,2 % in absolute value, for crude protein contents of less than 20 %;1,0 % relative to the higher value, for crude protein contents from 20 % to 40 %;0,4 % in absolute value, for crude protein contents of more than 40 %.7.2. Accuracy.Carry out the analysis (digestion, distillation and titration) on 1,5 to 2,0 g of acetanilide (3.12) in the presence of 1 g of sucrose (3.13); 1 g acetanilide consumes 14,80 ml of sulfuric acid (3.5). Recovery must be at least 99 %.8. Observations.8.1. Apparatus may be of the manual, semi-automatic or automatic type. If the apparatus requires transference between the digestion and distillation steps, this transfer must be carried out without loss. If the flask of the distillation apparatus is not fitted with a dropping funnel, add the sodium hydroxide immediately before connecting the flask to the condenser, pouring the liquid slowly down the side.8.2. If the digest solidifies, recommence the determination using a larger amount of sulfuric acid (3.4) than that specified above.8.3. For products with a law nitrogen content, the volume of sulfuric acid (3.6) to be placed in the collecting flask may be reduced, if necessary, to 10 or 15 ml and made up to 25 ml with water.' +",animal nutrition;feeding of animals;nutrition of animals;food inspection;control of foodstuffs;food analysis;food control;food test;protein products;albumin;occupational safety;occupational hazard;safety at the workplace;worker safety;analytical chemistry;centrifuging;chemical analysis;chemical testing;chromatography;conductometry;electrolytic analysis;photometry;volumetric analysis,23 +12774,"Commission Regulation (EC) No 284/94 of 8 February 1994 authorizing the conclusion of long-term private storage contracts for table wine, grape must, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must for the 1993/94 wine year. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 90 and 257 thereof,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1566/93 (2), and in particular Article 32 (5) thereof,Whereas the quantities of table wine available for the 1993/94 wine year at the beginning of the wine year exceed by more than four months' supply those normally used up over the year; whereas the conditions for authorization of long-term storage contracts of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 are therefore met;Whereas the data available indicate the existence of surpluses of all types of table wine and of table wines which stand in a close economic relationship with those types of table wine; whereas the possibility of concluding long-term storage contracts for those types of table wine should therefore be provided for; whereas by the same taken that possibility must be opened for grape must, concentrated grape must and rectified concentrated grape must;Whereas, given the delay in publishing the measure in the Official Journal of the European Communities, it must be made possible to grant the aid retroactively under certain conditions and to waive the deadline for signing the contracts to permit the competent authorities to take the administrative measures and conduct the checks necessary;Whereas the market for must and concentrated must for grape juice production is expanding and to promote uses of vine products other than winemaking permission should be granted for must and concentrated grape must placed under a storage contract covered by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1059/83 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2192/93 (4), that is intended for grape juice production to be sold from the fifth month of the contract onwards on simple notification by the producer to the intervention agency; whereas to promote export of these products this same possibility should apply;Whereas wine of particular characteristics is being produced in Spain and Portugal;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,.

KG, coal wholesalers of Munich (Only the German text is authentic). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Articles 66 and 80 thereof,Having regard to Decision No 24-54 of 6 May 1954 laying down in implementation of Article 66 (1) of the Treaty a regulation on what constitutes control of an undertaking (1),Having regard to the application made by Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH, Düsseldorf on 26 October 1976 and 15 April 1977 for authorization to acquire a 12 75 % interest in Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel GmbH & Co. KG, Munich,Having obtained the views of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany,Whereas:Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel GmbH & Co. KG (hereinafter referred to as ""Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel"") is a joint venture in which the coal wholesale enterprises:Klöckner & Co., Duisburg,Harpen-Gruppe, Essen,Rheinstahl Handel und Verkehr GmbH, Duisburg,VEBA, Düsseldorf,have shareholdings of between 20 and 35 % each.In 1972 these wholesalers transferred to Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel part of their solid fuels business in Bavaria and now carry on this business jointly. Bayerische Brennstoffhandel is accordingly an undertaking covered by Article 80 and is jointly controlled by the founder companies, which thus act as a group in the pursuit of their common business interests. The merger between the founder companies and Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel was authorized by Commission Decision of 17 May 1972. In 1975 Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel sold 325 000 tonnes of Community coal and 110 000 tonnes of imported coal.Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH is proposing to merge with Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel a solid fuels business carried on in the Munich area, with 1975 sales of 12 000 tonnes.The proposed entry of Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH will change the constitution of the controlling group and thence the distribution of voting rights within the group. It will involve a concentration within the meaning of Article 66 (1) of Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH with Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel. The effects of control by Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH of Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel on competition in the wholesale business must therefore be examined.The Federal German Government, consulted under the fourth subparagraph of Article 66 (2), recommends that the entry of Ruhrkohle Handel into Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel should be authorized only on condition that VEBA divests itself of its holding in Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel. The reasons given are that competition would be affected at the solid fuels distributive level and that the market share of Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel would be expanded at the expense of independent local dealers, while at the same time an interlocking relationship would be created between VEBA and Ruhrkohle, both of whom are solid fuel dealers, which would tend to lessen competition between them generally. (1)OJ ECSC No 9, 11.5.1954, p. 345.Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ruhrkohle AG. Like the other subsidiaries of Ruhrkohle AG, with which it is linked through the parent company, it does business in solid fuels and is therefore an undertaking covered by Article 80 of the Treaty. The share of the German solid fuels wholesale market accounted for by Ruhrkohle AG and its subsidiaries can be estimated at approximately 52 %. But this figure alone is not sufficiently indicative of Ruhrkohle's market position. The bulk of former users of solid fuels have converted their facilities to fuel oil consumption, or use convertible facilities which enable them to go over to liquid fuels if they so wish. Sales of solid fuels for domestic consumption and other industries have fallen by 70 % since 1962. Tonne for tonne, then, less than 30 % of the sales of coal wholesale merchants are now of solid fuels, for they are doing far more business in fuel oil. Ruhrkohle's share of this market, where solid and liquid fuels compete with each other, is therefore no more than 20 %. These circumstances should be taken into consideration in the assessment of the state of competition on this market.Since the prices for solid fuels tend to follow the prices of light and heavy fuel oils, Ruhrkohle is not in a position to determine prices for the purpose of Article 66 (2). Nor can it control distribution, for in the circumstances prevailing on the solid fuels market under the competitive pressure exerted by fuel oil for nearly 20 years now, Ruhrkohle does not have adequate power over the distribution market to determine where sales will go, how much of what product will be sold or how the market will be shared, nor to create artificial shortages of supply.Nor is there anything to suggest that the planned transaction would give Ruhrkohle AG the power to evade the rules of compeitition instituted under the Treaty. With sales of only 325 000 tonnes of Community coal in 1975, over 60 % being Ruhrkohle AG products already, Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel will not give Ruhrkohle AG any substantial advantage in access to outlets.Ruhrkohle Handel's proposed participation in Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel is linked to its transfer to the latter of a wholesale business with annual sales of only some 12 000 tonnes.The market position of Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel in relation to its competitors will thus not be altered to such an extent as to exclude authorization under Article 66 (2). This follows from the fact that the relevant market for the purposes of Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel cannot be regarded as a substantial part of the market in the relevant products, while the planned merger would not give Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel the power to evade the rules of competition instituted under the Treaty. The same conclusion applies to the question of the weakening of independent trade in the relevant area. Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel sells virtually nothing but solid fuels in a regionally confined territory of the common market where substitute competition is particularly keen, and all the customers it supplies have the technical capacity to convert their facilities to other sources of energy. Accordingly it is exposed to competition not only from other companies that deal primarily in fuel oil, but also from the oil companies themselves. Since it was formed in 1972, Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel's solid fuel sales have approximately halved. Its market share in Bavaria following the entry of Ruhrkohle AG's wholesale firm will still amount to less than 27 % and less than 15 % if fuel oil istaken into consideration as a substitute source of energy.The merger will have no anti-competitive effects on the other solid fuel business done by the firms involved in Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel. The main aim of the operation is to strengthen the position of merchants dealing with solid fuels in a particular geographical area where there is substantial competition from liquid and gas fuels because of distance from the collieries and the resulting high transport costs. The joint sales activity in Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel exercised by the controlling firms therefore extends to no more than a fraction of their aggregate solid fuels sales business. No group effect can therefore be expected to result. Nor is there any reason for expecting effects on compeititon between the firms that control Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel as regards their non-article 80 business in shipping, cooking by-products, petrochemicals and electricity generation.The objections expressed by the Federal German Government consequently do not provide sufficient grounds on which to base a decision either to withhold approval or to grant approval subject to conditions. The planned operation satisfies the tests for authorization in Article 66 (2) and may be authorized,. Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH, Düsseldorf, is authorized to acquire 12 75 % of the shares in Bayerischer Brennstoffhandel GmbH & Co. KG, coal wholesalers of Munich. This Decision is addressed to Ruhrkohle Handel GmbH, Düsseldorf..

Consequently, SOLMER is concentrated within the meaning of Article 66 (1) with each of the undertakings SOLLAC, USINOR and ATH.On 13 December 1973, SOLLAC, USINOR and ATH (hereinafter called the ""members"") initialled an agreement concerning the coal-producing undertaking SA Société Marseillaise de Cokéfaction (MARCOKE), Paris, with a capital of FF 263 000 000 as at 31 December 1976.ATH is to acquire in the first instance a holding of 5 % in the capital of MARCOKE with an option of increasing its holding to a probable 25 %, the holdings of SOLLAC and USINOR being simultaneously reduced.The members are to entrust the management and operation of the MARCOKE coking plant to SOLMER.All matters relating to the application and interpretation of the agreement, including relations between the members themselves and with MARCOKE and relations between MARCOKE and SOLMER are to be examined and settled at the members' meeting of SOLMER. The members meeting must reach its decisions by agreement.MARCOKE will thus be jointly controlled by the three members. Following the transaction there will therefore be a concentration between MARCOKE SOLLAC, USINOR, and ATH, though there will be no concentration between the members.MARCOKE is to set up a coking plant with related installations in Fos-sur-Mer. MARCOKE is to provide metallurgical coke supplies for SOLMER. MARCOKE's coking potential in 1978 is estimated at 1 200 000 metric tons of coke (about 3 % of Community production), which it will supply entirely to SOLMER at cost.MARCOKE, although legally separate, constitutes economically a division of SOLMER and will supply one of the raw materials necessary for SOLMER's pig iron production on terms which can be considered normal for iron and steel companies in the Community.MARCOKE will neither sell coke on the market nor supply coke to the other works of its members.MARCOKE will be a new buyer on the Community coke and coking coal market, which is characterized by market interpenetration, high imports and effective competition. In 1973, 34 % of the 11 800 000 metric tons of metallurgical coke used in France was supplied by French steel works' own coke ovens, 37 % was purchased from French collieries and 29 % was imported.The members are under no other obligation regarding the purchase, production and sale of coke, other than those incumbent upon them for the purposes of the proper operation of the joint company ; the joint production of coke for SOLMER can in no way affect the actions taken independently by the three members to secure their own coke supplies. (1)OJ No 9, 11.5.1954, p. 345.Having regard to all these considerations, the proposed transaction will not give the parties the power to determine prices, to control or restrict production or distribution or to hinder effective competition in a substantial part of the market for coal and steel, or to evade the rules of competition instituted under the Treaty, in particular by establishing an artificially privileged position involving a substantial advantage in access to supplies or markets.Consequently, the proposed transaction satisfies the conditions for authorization set out in Article 66 (2) and may therefore be authorized,. The establishment of joint control over SA Société Marseillaise de Cokéfaction (MARCOKE) by Société Lorraine de Laminage Continu SA (SOLLAC), Union Sidérurgique du Nord et de l'Est de la France SA (USINOR) and August Thyssen-Hütte AG is hereby authorized.

These regulatory authorities have to be wholly independent from the interests of the electricity and gas industry.(3) The detailed responsibilities and tasks of the national regulatory authorities are likely to differ between Member States, but all Member State will have to designate at least one regulatory agency to apply the rules of the new regulatory framework once they have been transposed into national law, in particular those concerning day-to-day supervision of the market.(4) Directives 2003/54/EC and 2003/55/EC establish objectives to be achieved and provide a framework for action at the national level, but give flexibility in certain areas to apply the rules in the light of national conditions. Consistent application of the relevant rules in all Member States is essential for the successful development of a single European energy market.(5) As regards common approaches to issues relevant for cross-border transactions the European Electricity Regulatory Forum and the European Gas Regulatory Forum have made important contributions. Whilst the two Forums will remain important as comprehensive discussion platforms involving all players from government, regulators and industry, it is now necessary to give regulatory cooperation and coordination a more formal status, in order to facilitate the completion of the internal energy market and in view of the forthcoming accession of new Member States.(6) In those circumstances, a ""European Regulatory Group for Electricity and Gas"" should be established to facilitate consultation, coordination and cooperation between the regulatory bodies in Member States, and between these bodies and the Commission, with a view to consolidating the internal market and ensuring the consistent application in all Member States of Directives 2003/54/EC and 2003/55/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003.(7) The members of the European Regulatory Group for Electricity and Gas should comprise the heads of the national authorities competent in the field of electricity and gas regulation in the Member States. The Commission should be represented at a high level.(8) The European Regulatory Group for Electricity and Gas should maintain close cooperation with the Committees established under Article 30 of Directive 2003/55/EC and Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003. Its work should not interfere with the work of those Committees.(9) It is appropriate to repeal Commission Decisions 95/539/EC(4) and 92/167/EEC(5) since these Decisions set up Committees in the context of Directives 91/296/EEC(6) and 90/547/EEC(7) on transit of natural gas and electricity, respectively, which were repealed by Directives 2003/54/EC and 2003/55/EC,. Subject matter and activities1. An independent advisory group on electricity and gas, called the ""European Regulators Group for Electricity and Gas"" (hereinafter referred to as the ""Group""), is hereby established by the Commission.2. The Group, at its own initiative or at the request of the Commission, shall advise and assist the Commission in consolidating the internal energy market, in particular with respect to the preparation of draft implementing measures in the field of electricity and gas, and on any matters related to the internal market for gas and electricity. The Group shall facilitate consultation, coordination and cooperation of national regulatory authorities, contributing to a consistent application, in all Member States, of the provisions set out in Directive 2003/54/EC, Directive 2003/55/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003, as well as of possible future Community legislation in the field of electricity and gas. Membership of the Group1. The Group shall be composed of the heads of the national regulatory authorities or their representatives.2. For the purpose of this Decision ""national regulatory authority"" means a public authority established in a Member State pursuant to Directives 2003/54/EC and 2003/55/EC, according to which Member States shall designate one or more competent bodies with the function of regulatory authorities, to ensure non-discrimination, effective competition and the efficient functioning of the gas and electricity market and in particular to oversee the day-to-day application of the provisions of Directives 2003/54/EC and 2003/55/EC and Regulation (EC) No 1228/2003 in that respect.3. Until 1 July 2004, if a Member State has not designated one or more competent bodies with the function of regulatory authorities, that Member State shall be represented in the Group by a representative of another competent public authority.4. The Commission shall be present at the meetings of the Group and shall designate a high-level representative to participate in all its debates. Organisation of the Group1. The Group shall elect a chairperson from among its members.2. The Group may set up expert working groups to study specific subjects, on the basis of a mandate and as it deems appropriate.3. The Commission may attend all meetings of such expert working groups.4. Experts from EEA States and States which are candidates for accession to the European Union may attend the meeting of the Group as observers. The Group and the Commission may invite other experts and observers to attend its meetings.5. The Group shall adopt its Rules of Procedure by consensus or, in the absence of consensus, by a two-thirds majority vote, one vote being expressed per Member State, subject to the approval of the Commission.6. The Commission shall provide the secretariat of the Group.7. Travel and subsistence expenses incurred by members, observers and experts, in connection with the activities of the Group, shall be reimbursed by the Commission in accordance with the provisions in force within the Commission.8. The Group shall submit an annual report of its activities to the Commission. The Commission shall transmit the annual report to the European Parliament and to the Council, where appropriate with comments. ConsultationThe Group shall consult extensively and at an early stage with market participants, consumers and end-users in an open and transparent manner. ConfidentialityWithout prejudice to the provisions of Article 287 of the Treaty, where the Commission informs the Group that the advice requested or the question raised is of a confidential nature, members of the Group as well as observers and any other person shall be under an obligation not to disclose information which has come to their knowledge through the work of the Group or its working groups.

Procedure (1) By Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2051/90 (2), a provisional anti-dumping duty of 43,4 % was imposed on imports on woven polyolefin sacks originating in the People's Republic of China. This duty was confirmed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3308/90 (3).(2) The Commission received a complaint lodged by the European Association for Textiles Polyolefin (EATP) on behalf of producers representing a major proportion of Community production of woven polyolefin sacks, alleging that oll or part of the anti-dumping duty had been borne by the exporters concerned.(3) Since the complaint contained evidence of absorption of anti-dumping duty by the exporters, the Commission announced the initiation of an investigation as provided for in Article 13 (11) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (4).(4) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned and gave interested parties the opportunity to make their views known in writing.(5) Replies to the Commission's questionnaire were received on behalf of nine Chinese exporters. Only two of the replies of the importers to whom questionnaires were sent contained substantive information. These two importers accounted for approximately 36 % of the total imports into the Community of woven polyolefin sacks originating in the People's Republic of China.(6) None of the interested parties requested the Commission to undertake a full review Regulation (EEC) No 3308/90 pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. Moreover, on the basis of the information available, the Commission did not consider that circumstances had changed sufficiently to justify the need for such a review on the Commission's initiative.(7) The investigation into absorption of the anti-dumping duty by the exporters covered the original investigation period, 1 January to 31 December 1988, which had been taken into account for calculation of the anti-dumping duty, and the nine-month period following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty and prior to the initiation of the present investigation, i.e. from 1 August 1990 to 30 April 1991.B. Product (8) The product under consideration is identical to the product subject to the definitive anti-dumping duty referred to in recital 1, i.e. woven polyolefin sacks (polyethylene or polypropylene) falling within CN code 6305 31 91.C. Absorption of the anti-dumping duty by the exporter I. Existence of absorption of duty(9) The Commission based its findings on the export prices provided by the Chinese exporters who replied to the Commission's questionnaire, and used official customs statistics and information verified at the premises of the cooperating importers to corroborate the information obtained from the Chinese exporters.(10) The information on prices provided by the Chinese exporters clearly shows that, following the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties by Regulation (EEC) No 2051/90 on woven polyolefin sacks, the import price at Community frontier (i.e. the cif price before payment of customs and anti-dumping duties) fell considerably.(11) As a consequence, by reducing their prices for export to the Community after imposition of the anti-dumping duty, the exporters of woven polyolefin sacks originating in the People's Republic of China have absorbed completely or partially the effect of the anti-dumping duty.II. Extent of absorption of the duty(12) Since the absorption took the form of a lowering of export prices, the extent of absorption of the anti-dumping duty has been calculated on the basis of a comparison of prices of woven polyolefin sacks originating in the People's Republic of China during the period 1 January to 31 December 1988, and prices during the period following imposition of an anti-dumping duty, i.e. from 1 August 1990 to 30 April 1991.(13) In order to arrive at the level of this absorption, the Commission calculated a price based on the weighted average cif price for the original investigation period together with an amount corresponding to the anti-dumping duty to reach a price at which the product under consideration should have been sold in the Community.This price was then compared to the cif price, anti-dumping duty paid, for the nine-month period following the imposition of the provisional duty. In establishing these prices, the Commission followed the same methodology and used the same exchange rates as for the calculation of the prices in the original investigation period. On the basis of this comparison, taking into account the reduction in the export price, the level of absorption is 97,6 % when expressed as a percentage of the amount of duty paid on the reduced export price.D. Others factors (14) The Chinese exporters claimed that in investigating the allegation of absorption the Commission should take into account the impact of currency fluctuations and changes in raw material prices in China on their export prices to the Community. They argued that any decrease in their export price after the imposition of duty was attributable to those factors.In addressing this argument, it is recalled that as the People's Republic of China is not a market economy country, normal value had to be based on the normal value of the like product in India. Since the Commission has no convincing evidence at its disposal, nor was any submitted that the normal value established for the Indian producers has altered and in any event not to an extent to influence the conclusions of this investigation, a general review is not warranted nor has any request for such a review been received.E. Conclusion (15) On the basis of the above findings, the Council concludes that the exporter has effectively borne a large part of the anti-dumping duty through a corresponding reduction in its export price and that its dumping margin is not lower than the sum of the original duty and the amount borne.F. Community interest (16) The purpose of the additional anti-dumping duty provided for in Article 13 (11) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 is to compensate for the amount of the anti-dumping duty borne by the exporter, which effectively increases his dumping margin and nullifies the effect of the original duty.(17) The Commission has no reason to believe that the findings concerning Community interest expressed in recitals 7 and 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3308/90 warrant amendment.(18) Moreover, given that the absorption of an anti-dumping duty by the exporters cancels the effect of the anti-dumping duty and therefore prevents the removal of the injury suffered by the Community industry, and that the imposition of this duty had been considered to be in the Community interest, a measure aimed at restoring the effet of the said duty is therefore in the Community's interest.(19) No other arguments showing that additional measures would not be in the Community interest have been put forward.G. Additional anti-dumping duty (20) In order to compensate for the level of absorpton and to restore the effect of the original duty, an additional duty, equivalent to 97,6 % of the existing duty, i.e. 42,3 % is required to bring the current Chinese export price up to the level envisaged by Regulation (EEC) No 3308/90.(21) Since the anti-dumping duty currently in force is 43,4 % of the net, free-at-Community frontier price, an additional duty of 42,3 % must be imposed. The total anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of woven polyolefin sacks originating in the People's Republic of China should, therefore, be 85,7 %.For practical reasons, the imposition of this additional duty takes the form of an amendment to Regulation (EEC) No 3308/90. This does not constitute a modification of the anti-dumping duty within the meaning of Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 and, therefore, the expiry date of the anti-dumping duty, including the additional duty, remains unchanged,. Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3308/90 is replaced by the following:'2. The rate of duty, applicable to the net, free-at-Community frontier price, before duty shall be 85,7 %'.

Further, in accordance with Article 2 of Protocol No 2 on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, and with Article 11(3) TEU, the Commission has to consult widely before proposing legislative acts.(2) For these purposes, the Members of the Commission, and members of their Cabinets, regularly meet with organisations or self-employed individuals, in order to learn about the difficulties they are confronted with and to understand their views on Union policies and legislation.(3) In accordance with Article 10(3) TEU, in order to facilitate the participation of European citizens in the democratic life of the Union and to ensure that decisions are taken as openly as possible, it is important to enable citizens to know what contacts the Members of the Commission and members of their Cabinets have with organisations or self-employed individuals.(4) Citizens already have a right of access to documents of the institutions pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1). This Decision does not concern access to documents nor the application of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001.(5) In line with the Political Guidelines of 15 July 2014 laid down by the President of the Commission, the Commission is committed to enhancing transparency in respect of contacts with stakeholders and lobbyists.(6) While there is no need for further measures with regard to the participation of Members of the Commission and members of their Cabinets in public events, since such information is already in the public domain, the publication of information on meetings held with organisations or self-employed individuals would further enhance the transparency of the action of the Commission.(7) The Members of the Commission should therefore make public information on meetings held by them or by members of their Cabinets with organisations or self-employed individuals on issues relating to decision-making and policy implementation in the Union.(8) Meetings with representatives of other Union institutions or bodies, which reflect the ordinary course of interinstitutional relations, are not covered by this Decision. Meetings with representatives of public authorities of the Member States are not covered by this Decision as those authorities pursue the general interest and contribute to the work of the Commission under the principle of sincere cooperation. In order to protect the international relations of the Union, meetings with representatives of public authorities of third countries and of international organisations are not covered by this Decision. This Decision is not applicable to the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the Commission for the meetings she holds in her capacity as High Representative.(9) In order to respect the specific character of the dialogue with the social partners, provided for in Article 154 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), as well as the specific character of the dialogue with churches and philosophical and non-confessional organisations, provided for in Article 17(3) TFEU, meetings taking place in those contexts should not be covered by this Decision.(10) In view of the specific role of political parties recognised by Article 10(4) TEU, and given that the Inter-institutional agreement between the European Parliament and the European Commission of 16 April 2014 on the transparency register for organisations and self-employed individuals engaged in EU policy-making and policy implementation (2) provides that the register does not apply to political parties, meetings with representatives of political parties should also not be covered by this Decision.(11) Since in certain specific cases the publication of information on meetings may undermine the protection of the life, the integrity or privacy of an individual, the financial, monetary or economic policy of the Union, the market stability or sensitive commercial information, the proper conduct of court proceedings or inspections, investigations, audits or other administrative procedures; or the protection of any other important public interest recognised at Union level, the publication of such information should be withheld in such cases.(12) In accordance with Article 5(a) of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), the names of Members of the Commission as well as of members of the Cabinets who attend meetings with organisations or self-employed individuals can be made public; other individuals must have unambiguously given their consent.(13) This Decision is without prejudice to more enhanced transparency requirements or commitments resulting from Union legislation or international agreements concluded by the Union,. 1.   The Members of the Commission shall make public information on all meetings held by them and members of their Cabinet with organisations or self-employed individuals on issues relating to policy-making and implementation in the Union, in accordance with the provisions of this Decision.2.   The information to be made public shall consist of the date of the meeting, the location, the name of the Member of the Commission and/or member of the Cabinet, the name of the organisation or self-employed individual and the subject of the meeting. For the purpose of this Decision the following definitions shall apply:(a) ‘meeting’ means a bilateral encounter organised at the initiative of an organisation or self-employed individual or a Member of the Commission and/or a member of his/her Cabinet to discuss an issue related to policy-making and implementation in the Union. Encounters taking place in the context of an administrative procedure established by the Treaties or Union acts, which falls under the direct responsibility of the Member of the Commission, as well as encounters of a purely private or social character or spontaneous encounters are excluded from this notion;(b) ‘organisation or self-employed individual’ means any organisation or individual, irrespective of their legal status, engaged in activities carried out with the objective of directly or indirectly influencing the formulation or implementation of policy and the decision-making processes of the institutions of the Union, irrespective of where these activities are undertaken and of the channel or medium of communication used. 1.   This Decision shall not apply to meetings held with social partners at Union level in the context of the social dialogue, or to meetings held in the context of the dialogue with churches, religious associations or communities, as well as with philosophical and non-confessional organisations2.   This Decision shall not apply to meetings held with representatives of political parties. 1.   The information set out in Article 1(2) shall be published in a standardised format on the websites of the Members of the Commission within a period of two weeks following the meeting.2.   The publication of the information may be withheld where such publication could undermine the protection of one of the interests referred to in Article 4(1), (2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, in particular the life, the integrity or privacy of an individual, the financial, monetary or economic policy of the Union, the market stability or sensitive commercial information, the proper conduct of court proceedings or inspections, investigations, audits or other administrative procedures; or the protection of any other important public interest recognised at Union level.

It also lays down the veterinary certification requirements for such commodities and models of the veterinary certificates to accompany them are set out in Part 2 of that Annex.(2) According to Article 24(1)(b) of Directive 2009/158/EC, commodities are not to be imported into the Union from a third country, territory, zone or compartment where an outbreak of avian influenza or Newcastle disease has been detected and which may therefore no longer be certified as being free from one of those diseases, unless the competent authority of the third country or territory applies measures to control them which are at least equivalent to those laid down in 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 Council Directive 92/66/EEC of 14 July 1992 introducing Community measures for the control of Newcastle disease (5).(3) Part of the territory of Brazil and the territories of Canada, Chile, Croatia, Israel and the United States of America, as listed in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, are currently authorised for the importation into the Union of live poultry and ratites, hatching eggs of poultry and ratites and meat of poultry and ratites.(4) Those six third countries apply control measures for Newcastle disease equivalent to those implemented by Member States in accordance with Directive 92/66/EEC, including placing areas in their territory under official restrictions in the event of an outbreak of that disease.(5) As regards the importation of meat of poultry and ratites into the Union, the equivalency of disease control measures for Newcastle disease applied in parts of Brazil and also in Israel has already been recognised by Commission Decision 2001/659/EC of 6 August 2001 amending Decision 94/984/EC as regards the importation of fresh poultry meat from Brazil (6) and Commission Decision 97/593/EC of 29 July 1997 laying down animal health conditions and veterinary certificates for the importation of fresh poultry meat from Israel (7).(6) Taking into account the equivalency of the control measures for Newcastle disease and the capacity of those third countries to effectively deal with an outbreak of that disease as well as the findings of and the follow-up actions to inspection missions to these countries, it is appropriate to provide for specific certification requirements as regards freedom from that disease.(7) For the importation of live poultry and hatching eggs of poultry and ratites into the Union the entries in column 6 on the specific conditions in Part 1 of Annex I and the veterinary certificates set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should be amended, so that in case of future outbreaks of Newcastle disease in Brazil, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Israel and the United States of America, as listed in Part 1 of Annex I to that Regulation, importation of those commodities may continue from the parts of those third countries that have not been placed under official restrictions due to Newcastle disease.(8) For the importation of poultry meat and ratite meat into the Union the entries in column 6 on the specific conditions in Part 1 of Annex I and the veterinary certificates set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should be amended, so that in case of future outbreaks of Newcastle disease in Canada, Chile, Croatia and the United States of America, as listed in Part 1 of Annex I to that Regulation, importation of those commodities may continue from the parts of those third countries that have not been placed under official restrictions due to Newcastle disease.(9) Furthermore, the veterinary certificate for imports of poultry meat set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should be amended in order to allow imports of that commodity obtained from slaughter poultry originating from another third country listed in Part 1 of Annex I to that Regulation.(10) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/2009 of 18 May 2009 amending Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 laying down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products may be imported into and transit through the Community and the veterinary certification requirements (8) disease control measures applied by Canada for low pathogenic avian influenza have already been recognised as equivalent and certification requirements were amended accordingly; it is therefore appropriate for reasons of consistency to align these certification requirements with those to be introduced by the present Regulation.(11) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) It is appropriate to provide for a transitional period to permit Member States and industry to take the necessary measures to comply with the applicable veterinary certification requirements provided for in this Regulation.(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

The ban of this substance was introduced on the basis of an opinion of May 2000 of the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products intended for Consumers (SCCNFP), subsequently replaced by the ‘Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP)’ by Commission Decision 2004/210/EC (2), and later by the ‘Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS)’ by Commission Decision 2008/721/EC (3). The SCCNFP recommended the prohibition of Verbena (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) essential oils and derivatives, e.g. concrete and absolute, when used as a fragrance ingredient, based on the sensitising potential.(2) However, the SCCNFP later concluded in an opinion issued in 2001 that Verbena absolute obtained from Lippia citriodora Kunth. should not be used such that the level in the finished cosmetic products exceeds 0,2 %. It is therefore appropriate to include Verbena absolute (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) together with its respective restriction in Annex III, Part 1 to Directive 76/768/EEC. It is also appropriate to amend reference number 450 of Annex II in order to specify that the substances Verbena essential oils (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) and derivatives other than absolute are prohibited when used as a fragrance ingredient.(3) Directive 2008/42/EC of 3 April 2008 amending Council Directive 76/768/EEC, concerning cosmetic products, for the purpose of adapting Annexes II and III thereto to technical progress (4) included several allyl esters containing allyl alcohol as impurity in Annex III, Part 1 to Directive 76/768/EEC. The substance allyl phenethyl ether may contain allyl alcohol as impurity as well. For this substance, the SCCNFP issued an opinion in 2000 recommending an upper limit of 0,1 % of allyl alcohol as impurity.(4) In the light of the SCCNFP opinion, as well as for consistency reasons, it is appropriate to include in Annex III, Part 1 to Directive 76/768/EEC the substance allyl phenethyl ether together with its respective restriction.(5) The group of substances Terpene terpenoids sinpine is currently regulated under reference number 130 in Annex III, Part 1 to Directive 76/768/EEC. However, the word ‘sinpine’ is a trade name and should therefore be deleted from the designation of that group of substances.(6) Directive 76/768/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.(7) In view of a smooth transition from existing formulae of cosmetic products to formulae which comply with the requirements laid down in this Directive, it is necessary to provide for appropriate transitional periods.(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,. Annexes II and III to Directive 76/768/EEC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that, as from 15 February 2011, no cosmetic products which fail to comply with this Directive are placed on the market by Union manufacturers or by importers established within the Union.Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that, as from 15 August 2011, no cosmetic products which fail to comply with this Directive are sold or disposed of to the final consumer in the Union. 1.   Member States shall adopt and publish, by 15 August 2010 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.They shall apply those provisions from 15 February 2011.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.2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

EXISTING MEASURES(1) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000(2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of solutions of urea and ammonium nitrate, hereinafter referred to as ""UAN"", originating, inter alia, in Lithuania. The form of the duty set out in that Regulation was a specific duty of EUR 3,98 per tonne for all Lithuanian exporting producers.B. REQUEST FOR A REVIEW(2) In September 2002, a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation was lodged by SC Achema, hereinafter referred to as ""the applicant"", an exporting producer in Lithuania. The request was limited in scope to the examination of the form of the measure and, in particular, to the examination of the acceptability of an undertaking offered by the applicant.(3) The request was based on the grounds that the applicant committed itself to a price discipline in respect of UAN within the framework of another anti-dumping proceeding concerning urea and presented evidence that it was ready to provide, also in the framework of the UAN proceeding, an undertaking of a similar nature, which would remove the injurious effects of dumping and could be monitored.(4) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3) and commenced an investigation.C. PROCEDURE(5) The Commission officially advised the authorities of the exporting country of the initiation of the interim review and gave all parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. The European Fertilizer Manufacturers Association, on behalf of the European complainant producers of the original investigation, hereinafter referred to as ""the Community industry"", requested, within the time limits, to take part in this investigation as an interested party.(6) The applicant made the Commission a formal offer of price undertaking.(7) The Commission further sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the purpose of examining the acceptance of this undertaking and all the aspects relating to the monitoring of it. A verification visit was carried out at the premises of the applicant.(8) The applicant and the Community industry were informed of the facts and considerations of the investigation and were given an opportunity to comment.D. INVESTIGATION(9) The applicant exports three kinds of nitrogen fertilisers to the EU: urea, ammonium nitrate, hereinafter referred to as ""AN"", and UAN. Urea and UAN originating in Lithuania are subject to anti-dumping measures in the form of specific duties, imposed by Regulations (EC) No 1995/2000 and (EC) No 92/2002(4) respectively.(10) Pursuant to Commission Decision 2002/498/EC(5), an undertaking offered by the applicant concerning imports of urea was accepted. By this undertaking, the applicant accepted, in order to avoid cross-compensation via exports of other fertilisers, to respect a pricing discipline and to report exports to the Community for its other two fertilisers, i.e. the ammonium nitrate and UAN as well. The applicant's exports of UAN were as a result found to be subject to both a minimum import price and an anti-dumping duty (by nature of Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000).(11) The undertaking offered by the applicant in the framework of the current investigation enables its exports of UAN to be subject to a sole minimum import price, hereinafter referred to as ""MIP"". The MIP is at a level that eliminates the injurious effects of dumping found in the original investigation. The reporting obligations are as strict as for urea, thus allowing an efficient monitoring in conjunction with the undertaking on urea. In addition, a clause on the breach of the relationship of trust between the Commission and the applicant guarantees the efficiency of both undertakings for urea and UAN.(12) The Community industry opposed the acceptance of an undertaking. It alleged that the actual quantities of UAN exported by the applicant for the period 2002 could not be supplied by its effective production capability. The Commission sought from the applicant, and the latter provided, detailed information concerning production capacity, sales and purchases of the three nitrogen fertilisers, i.e. urea, AN and UAN, for the last three calendar years. All of this information was verified on the spot and no irregularity of the nature alleged by the Community industry was found. Thus, the allegations of the Community industry were considered to be unfounded.(13) The Community industry further claimed that, in line with the principle of non-discrimination, the applicant should not be given more favourable treatment than other countries found to be dumping, since in the great majority of recent anti-dumping cases concerning nitrogen fertilisers, the Community has consistently argued that for reasons of efficiency and to avoid manipulation and malpractice, specific anti-dumping duties are the most appropriate measures to be applied. Regarding the discriminatory treatment, it should be noted that each undertaking offer has to be examined on its own merits on the basis of the criteria laid down in Article 8 of the basic Regulation. Thus, undertaking offers can be accepted only in cases where they have the effect of eliminating the injurious dumping and allow effective monitoring. In this respect, it is noted that the main problem for accepting undertakings from other countries was the risk of circumvention in the form of cross-compensation with other products. However, in this case this risk is seriously limited, since the applicant has offered and has been respecting MIPs for the other fertilisers that it exports to the Community with which cross-compensation could arguably take place. Regarding efficiency and effective monitoring of undertakings in respect of similar cases, the experience already obtained from two undertakings concerning urea (one from a Bulgarian exporting producer and one from the applicant) and one concerning UAN (from an Algerian exporting producer), which have been in place for certain time, did not indicate that they had been inefficient. In this respect, it should be noted that the Commission, during the on-the-spot visit at the premises of the applicant, verified all the reports submitted by it in the framework of its undertaking for urea and did not find any irregularity, manipulation or malpractice. Therefore, this claim was rejected.(14) Finally, the Community industry claimed that any price undertaking should stipulate both an ex-works and a cif frontier level in order for all normal costs between ex-works and cif frontier to be accounted for. Regarding this claim, it is noted that the MIP offered by the applicant is based on an ex-works level and that the applicant is obliged to report detailed costs associated with its exports when made at a different level (i.e. cif, fob, etc.). This means that indeed all costs between ex-works and cif level will be accounted for when sales are made at cif level. Therefore, the claim made by the Community industry was rejected.E. UNDERTAKING(15) In view of the foregoing, the offer of an undertaking was accepted by the Commission in Decision 2003/671/EC(6).(16) In order to ensure the effective respect and monitoring of the undertaking, when the request for release for free circulation pursuant to the undertaking is presented to the relevant customs authority, exemption from the duty should be conditional on presentation of a commercial invoice containing the information listed in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 617/2000(7), which is necessary for customs to ascertain that shipments correspond to the commercial documents at the required level of detail. Where no such invoice is presented, or when it does not correspond to the product concerned presented to customs, the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty should instead be payable.(17) It should be noted that in the event of a breach or withdrawal of the undertaking or a suspected breach, an anti-dumping duty may be imposed, pursuant to Article 8(9) and (10) of the basic Regulation.(18) In view of the acceptance of the undertaking offer, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000 accordingly.F. MODIFICATION OF NAME AND ADDRESS(19) In the course of this investigation, the applicant informed the Commission that it had changed its name and address. The name change was due to the fact that the previous company form of the applicant, i.e. Joint Stock Company, no longer exists in Lithuania. The new name of the applicant is Stock Company Achema. The change of its address was due to the change in the Lithuanian postal system.(20) The Commission has examined this information, which demonstrated that all the applicant's activities linked to the manufacturing, sales and exports of fertilisers (AN, UAN and urea) are unaffected by these changes,. Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000 is hereby amended as follows:1. In Article 1(2), the row concerning Lithuania shall be replaced by the following:"">TABLE>""2. Article 2(1), shall be replaced by the following:""1. Imports declared for release into free circulation under the following TARIC additional codes which are produced and directly exported (i.e. shipped and invoiced) by a company named below to a company in the Community acting as an importer shall be exempt from the anti-dumping duty imposed by Article 1 provided that such imports are imported in conformity with paragraph 2 of this Article.>TABLE>"" This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

The Commission has published in the Official Journal successive lists of bicycle assemblers (4) for which the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty in respect of their imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation was suspended pursuant to Article 5(1) of the exemption Regulation.(2) Following the last publication of the list of parties under examination (5), a period of examination has been selected. This period was defined as from 1 January 2007 to 31 May 2009. A questionnaire was sent to all parties under examination, requesting information on the assembly operations conducted during the relevant period of examination.A.   REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION FOR WHICH SUSPENSION WAS PREVIOUSLY GRANTEDA.1.   Acceptablerequests for exemption(3) The Commission received from the parties listed in table 1 below all the information required for the determination of the admissibility of their requests. These parties had already received their suspension with effect from the day of arrival of a first complete application dossier at the Commission premises. The newly requested and provided information was examined and verified, where necessary, at the premises of the parties concerned.

They shall keep this information up to date and shall take measures to develop appropriate databases in order to make such information available to the public, where applicable in accordance with the relevant harmonisation measures taken under Article 4 of that Decision.(2) A study undertaken on behalf of the Commission (2) found that, despite previous efforts, information on the use of spectrum is still made publicly available by Member States with a varying amount of detail, in different formats and with differences in ease of access and updating intervals. Such differences may have an effect on doing business, on planning investments and on decision-making in the context of an internal market for products and services, as well as manufacturing. Information on spectrum usage conditions can further facilitate the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) and indirectly support the sustainable growth of the electronic communications industry in general.(3) The availability of appropriate information is essential in the context of better regulation, since the removal of unnecessary restrictive measures and the introduction of trading of rights to use frequencies require clear, reliable and up-to-date information regarding the actual use.(4) A single information point would ensure an easy access and user-friendly presentation of spectrum information throughout the Community. To be efficient, such information should be presented in a harmonised format with the same content for all Member States and it should be transferable from national databases using modern automatic upload facilities that avoid the need for additional human resources to feed the single information point with national data.(5) There is substantial agreement by Member States and industry participants for using the system set up by the European Radiocommunications Office (ERO) (3). The ERO Frequency Information System (EFIS) is publicly available on the Internet and allows the search for and comparison of official spectrum information within Europe, if such information is uploaded by national administrations. That system should be used by all Member States.(6) The Commission issued a Mandate dated 8 December 2005 to the CEPT on the use of EFIS for publication and access to spectrum information within the Community. CEPT presented the final results of this mandate, which demonstrate the feasibility to use EFIS as a common information portal in the European Community, in accordance with the objectives contained in the mandate. The Radio Spectrum Committee accepted the final report of the CEPT on 5 October 2006 and confirmed the objectives listed in the Mandate. The results of the mandate should be made applicable in the Community.(7) A European spectrum information portal should not replace national spectrum databases but be a complementary portal that adds value through the provision of a single information point with search and compare facilities at the European level, based on information provided in accordance with a common format and level detail.(8) Efforts to harmonise the presentation of radio interface specifications have been undertaken by the Telecommunications Conformity Assessment and Market Surveillance Committee (TCAM) established by Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (4) (R & TTE Directive). These conditions are relevant to Article 5 of the Radio Spectrum Decision and are regarded as important public information, which should be made available by all Member States.(9) The provision of information regarding rights of use may require a particular effort by Members States, but it is also of high importance for a transparent and effective market based-spectrum policy. Member States may need extra time to fulfil the requirements of making available this type of information.(10) Easy access to the information should be guaranteed to all interested parties, subject to compliance with Community rules on business confidentiality in particular to the provisions of Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a common regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services (Framework Directive) (5).(11) This Decision should be implemented and applied in full compliance with the principles and requirements relating to the protection of personal data in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data (6) and in accordance with Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2002 concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (Directive on privacy and electronic communications) (7).(12) The effectiveness of EFIS for Member States and the public should be reviewed from time to time to ensure that the objectives listed in the mandate are being implemented effectively.(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,. The purpose of this Decision is to harmonise the availability of information on the use of radio spectrum in the Community through a common information point and by the harmonisation of the format and content of such information. Member States shall use the ERO Frequency Information System (EFIS) set up by the European Radiocommunications Office (ERO) as a common access point, in order to make comparable information regarding the use of spectrum in each Member State available to the public via the Internet. 1.   Member States shall provide to EFIS the following information regarding the use of radio spectrum on their territory:(a) for each frequency band individually:— Service Allocations as defined by the Radio Regulations of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU),— applications using the choice of terms available in EFIS,— Radio Interface Specifications according to the format in Annex I,— Individual Rights of Use in accordance with Annex II;(b) for use of radio spectrum in general:— national contact point capable of answering inquiries from the public related to finding national spectrum information not included in the European spectrum information portal as well as information on procedures and conditions applicable to any envisaged national assignment process for rights of use,— if available, national spectrum policy and strategy in the form of a report.2.   Member States shall update the information referred to in paragraph 1 at least once a year until 1 January 2010 and twice per year thereafter. This shall be executed either through manual entry of data via the Internet or through automatic uploading facilities using a specified format for data exchange. Member States shall inform the Commission if they consider that EFIS is no longer able to provide the technical capacity, integrity and reliability to justify its use as a common information point. This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 2008.The provision of information on Individual Rights of Use shall apply from 1 January 2010. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.(2) Following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station on 26 April 1986, considerable quantities of radioactive elements were released into the atmosphere.(3) Without prejudice to the possibility of resorting, where necessary, in the future to the provisions of Council Regulation (Euratom) No 3954/87 of 22 December 1987 laying down maximum permitted levels of radioactive contamination of foodstuffs and of feedingstuffs following a nuclear accident or any other case of radiological emergency (3), the Community should ensure, with regard to the specific effects of the accident at Chernobyl, that agricultural products and processed agricultural products intended for human consumption and likely to be contaminated are introduced into the Community only according to common arrangements.(4) Those common arrangements should safeguard the health of consumers, maintain, without having unduly adverse effects on trade between the Community and third countries, the unified nature of the market and prevent deflections of trade.(5) Compliance with the maximum permitted levels should be the subject of appropriate checks, which may lead to prohibiting imports in cases of non-compliance.(6) Radioactive contamination in many agricultural products has decreased and will continue to decrease to the levels existing before the Chernobyl accident. A procedure should therefore be established enabling such products to be excluded from the scope of this Regulation.(7) Since this Regulation covers all agricultural products and processed agricultural products intended for human consumption, there is no need, in the present case, to apply the procedure referred to in Article 14 of Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals (4).(8) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation 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 (5),. With the exception of the products unfit for human consumption listed in Annex I and those products which may come to be excluded from the scope of this Regulation in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2), this Regulation shall apply to the products originating in third countries covered by:(a) Annex I to the Treaty;(b) Council Regulation (EC) No 1667/2006 of 7 November 2006 on glucose and lactose (6);(c) Council Regulation (EEC) No 2783/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common system of trade for ovalbumin and lactalbumin (7);(d) Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (8). 1.   Without prejudice to other provisions in force, the release for free circulation of the products referred to in Article 1 shall be subject to compliance with the maximum permitted levels laid down in paragraph 2 of this Article:2.   The accumulated maximum radioactive level in terms of caesium-134 and -137 shall be (9):(a) 370 Bq/kg for milk and milk products listed in Annex II and for foodstuffs intended for the special feeding of infants during the first four to six months of life, which meet, in themselves, the nutritional requirements of this category of persons and are put up for retail sale in packages which are clearly identified and labelled ‘food preparation for infants’;(b) 600 Bq/kg for all other products concerned. 1.   Member States shall check compliance with the maximum permitted levels laid down in Article 2(2) in respect of the products referred to in Article 1, taking into account contamination levels in the country of origin.Checking may also include the presentation of export certificates.Depending on the results of the checks carried out, Member States shall take the measures required for Article 2(1) to apply, including the prohibition of release for free circulation, taking each case individually or generally for a given product.2.   Each Member State shall provide the Commission with all information concerning the application of this Regulation, notably cases of non-compliance with the maximum permitted levels.The Commission shall circulate such information to the other Member States.3.   Where cases of repeated non-compliance with the maximum permitted levels have been recorded, the necessary measures may be taken in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2).Such measures may even include the prohibition of the import of products originating in the third country concerned. The arrangements for applying this Regulation, any amendments to be made to the products in Annex I, and the list of products excluded from this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2). 1.   The Commission shall be assisted by a committee.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 one month. Council Regulation (EEC) No 737/90, as amended by the Regulations listed in Annex III, is repealed.References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex IV.

A temporary derogation should be made from the timetable for concluding contracts laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1535/2003. Otherwise, and particularly in the case of tomatoes, for which contracts must be concluded before 15 February, the parties concerned would be unable to benefit from the aid scheme during the first marketing year.(3) The mechanism for examining compliance with the national processing thresholds provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 does not apply immediately to the new Member States. Transitional measures for its application should therefore be laid down. For the first marketing year of application, for which there are no data for the calculation, the aid should be paid in full. However, as a precautionary measure, a prior reduction should be made to be reimbursed if there is no overrun at the end of the marketing year. For subsequent marketing years, provision should be made for the gradual application of the system for examining compliance with the threshold.(4) Since the aid for tomatoes is published in the January preceding the marketing year concerned, transitional measures should also be laid down for examining compliance with the threshold for the purposes of fixing the level of aid for the 2007/08 marketing year.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,. Notwithstanding Article 6(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1535/2003, in the case of tomatoes in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (hereafter the new Member States) during the 2004/05 marketing year, contracts between recognised producer organisations within the meaning of paragraph 1(1)(a) of the said Regulation and approved processors shall be concluded by 15 July and at least 10 days before deliveries are to commence. For the 2004/05 marketing year and for the new Member States, the aid provided for in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 shall be:- EUR 25,88/tonne for tomatoes,- EUR 35,78/tonne for peaches,- EUR 121,28/tonne for pears. 1. Where the examination of compliance with the threshold for the purpose of fixing the aid for the 2005/06 marketing year shows that the Community threshold has not been exceeded, an additional amount equal to 25 % of the aid provided for in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 shall be paid in all the new Member States after the end of the 2004/05 marketing year.2. Where the examination of compliance with the threshold for the purpose of fixing the aid for the 2005/06 marketing year shows that the Community threshold has been exceeded, in those new Member States in which the threshold has not been exceeded or in which the threshold has been exceeded by less than 25 % an additional amount shall be paid after the end of the 2004/05 marketing year.The additional amount referred to in the first subparagraph shall be based on the amount by which the national threshold concerned has been exceeded, up to a maximum of 25 % of the aid laid down in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96. In examining compliance with the national processing thresholds for tomatoes, peaches and pears in the new Member States, the calculation shall be based:(a) for the 2005/06 marketing year:(i) in the case of tomatoes, on the quantities for which aid applications were submitted for the 2004/05 marketing year;(ii) in the case of peaches and pears, on the quantities for which aid was actually paid during the 2004/05 marketing year;(b) for the 2006/07 marketing year:(i) in the case of tomatoes, on the average of the quantities for which aid was actually paid during the 2004/05 marketing year and the quantities for which aid applications were submitted for the 2005/06 marketing year;(ii) in the case of peaches and pears, on the average quantities for which aid was actually paid during the 2004/05 and 2005/06 marketing years;(c) for the 2007/08 marketing year in the case of tomatoes, the average of the quantities for which aid was actually paid during the 2004/05 and 2005/06 marketing years and the quantities for which aid applications were submitted for the 2006/07 marketing year.The quantity obtained when examining compliance with the national threshold shall be added to the amounts for all the other Member States for the purposes of examining compliance with the Community threshold.

By Commission Decision 2003/627/EC of 20 August 2003 authorising Member States pursuant to Directive 96/49/EC to adopt certain derogations with regard to the transport of dangerous goods by rail (2), the Commission authorised the adoption by those Member States of the derogations listed in Annexes I and II to that Decision.(3) Commission Directive 2003/29/EC (3) amended the Annex to Directive 96/49/EC. By virtue of Directive 2003/29/EC Member States had to bring into force national legislation no later than 1 July 2003, the last date of application referred to in Article 6(9) of Directive 96/49/EC being 30 June 2003.(4) A few Member States notified their wish to adopt derogations. The Commission has examined the notifications for compliance with the conditions laid down in Articles 6(9), (11) and (14) of Directive 96/49/EC, and has approved them. Those Member States should therefore be authorised to adopt those derogations.(5) By the same occasion, it is considered desirable to assemble all the derogations authorised to date in a single decision. Decision 2003/627/EC should therefore be repealed and replaced.(6) To make sure that the situation of the derogations is updated regularly, the Commission shall propose a comprehensive update of all existing derogations at least every five years.(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the transport of dangerous goods, set up by Article 9 of Council Directive 94/55/EC (4),. Member States listed in Annex I are authorised to implement the derogations set out in Annex I, regarding the transportation by rail within their territory of small quantities of certain dangerous goods.These derogations shall be applied without discrimination. Member States listed in Annex II are authorised to implement the derogations set out in Annex II regarding, first, the transportation on particular designated routes within their territory of dangerous goods forming part of a defined industrial process, being of local nature and being tightly controlled under clearly specified conditions, and, secondly, the local transportation of dangerous goods over short distances within the perimeters of ports, airports or industrial sites. Decision 2003/627/EC is repealed.References to the repealed Decision shall be construed as references to this Decision. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

Those substances are already banned or severely restricted in the Union and are therefore subject to export requirements which go beyond what is required under the Rotterdam Convention.(4) The seventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Rotterdam Convention is expected to decide on the proposed amendments to Annex III. The Union should support those amendments,. The position to be adopted on behalf of the European Union at the seventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Rotterdam Convention is that the Union shall support the adoption of the amendments to Annex III to the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade (3) as regards the inclusion of chrysotile asbestos, methamidophos, trichlorfon, fenthion (ultra low volume (ULV) formulations at or above 640 g active ingredient/l) and liquid formulations (emulsifiable concentrate and soluble concentrate) containing paraquat dichloride at or above 276 g/l, corresponding to paraquat ion at or above 200 g/l.

However, portable batteries and accumulators intended for use in cordless power tools are exempted from that ban.(2) The Commission has reviewed that exemption in accordance with Article 4(4) of Directive 2006/66/EC.(3) That review has led to the conclusion that, in order to gradually diminish the amount of cadmium released into the environment, the prohibition of the use of cadmium should be extended to portable batteries and accumulators intended for use in cordless power tools because suitable cadmium-free substitutes for such applications are available on the market, namely nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion battery technologies.(4) The existing exemption for portable batteries and accumulators intended for use in cordless power tools should continue to apply until 31 December 2016 in order to enable the recycling industry and consumers along the whole value chain to further adapt to the relevant substitute technologies across all the regions of the Union in a uniform manner.(5) Directive 2006/66/EC prohibits the placing on the market of all batteries or accumulators, whether or not incorporated into appliances, that contain more than 0,0005 % of mercury by weight. However, button cells with a mercury content of no more than 2 % by weight are exempted from that prohibition. The Union button cell market is already experiencing a shift towards mercury-free button cells. It is therefore appropriate to prohibit the marketing of button cells with a mercury content exceeding 0,0005 % by weight.(6) As a consequence of the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the powers conferred on the Commission under Directive 2006/66/EC need to be aligned with Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).(7) In order to supplement or amend Directive 2006/66/EC, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of criteria for the assessment of equivalent conditions regarding treatment and recycling outside the Union, capacity labelling of portable and automotive batteries and accumulators and exemptions from the labelling requirements. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing-up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and the Council.(8) Wherever appropriate, the producer registration requirements and format should be coherent with regard to the registration rules and format established pursuant to Article 16(3) of, and Part A of Annex X to Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).(9) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of Directive 2006/66/EC, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission in respect of transitional arrangements regarding minimum collection rates, a common methodology for the calculation of annual sales of portable batteries and accumulators to end-users, detailed rules regarding the calculation of recycling efficiencies, and a questionnaire or outline for national implementation reports. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).(10) Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) was repealed by Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (7) with effect from 12 December 2010.(11) Directive 2006/66/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,. Directive 2006/66/EC is amended as follows:(1) Article 4 is amended as follows:(a) paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:(b) point (c) of paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:‘(c) cordless power tools; this exemption in respect of cordless power tools shall apply until 31 December 2016.’;(c) paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:(2) Article 6(2) is replaced by the following:(3) Article 10(4) is replaced by the following:(4) Article 11 is replaced by the following:(5) Article 12(6) is replaced by the following:(6) Article 12(7) is deleted;(7) Article 15(3) is replaced by the following:(8) Article 17 is replaced by the following:(9) Article 18(2) is replaced by the following:(10) Article 21 is amended as follows:(a) paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:(b) paragraph 7 is replaced by the following:(11) Article 22(2) is replaced by the following:(12) The following Article is added:(13) Article 24 is replaced by the following:(14) the following Annex is added:(i) name of the producer and brand names (if available) under which they operate in the Member State;(ii) address(es) of the producer: postal code and location, street name and number, country, URL, telephone number, as well as a contact person, fax number and e-mail address of the producer, if available;(iii) indication on the type of batteries and accumulators placed on the market by the producer: portable batteries and accumulators, industrial batteries and accumulators, or automotive batteries and accumulators;(iv) information on how the producer meets its responsibilities: by individual or collective scheme;(v) date of the application for registration;(vi) national identification code of the producer, including European tax number or national tax number of the producer (optional);(vii) declaration stating that the information provided is true.

Letter from the UnionDone at Geneva, 24 May 2011Sir,Following negotiations under Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of the Schedules of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania in the course of their accession to the European Union, I have the honour to propose the following:1. The European Union will incorporate in its schedule, for the customs territory of the EU 27, the concessions granted and applied for the EU 25 with the following modifications:Add 400 tonnes (carcase weight) to the allocation for Australia under the EU tariff rate quota ""meat of sheep or goats, fresh, chilled or frozen"", maintaining the present in-quota rate of 0 %;Create an erga omnes allocation of 200 tonnes (carcase weight) under the EU tariff rate quota ""meat of sheep or goats, fresh, chilled or frozen"", maintaining the present in-quota rate of 0 %;Adjust the EU tariff rate quota ""live sheep, other than pure-bred breeding animals"", with an in-quota rate 10 %, by removing the allocations of 1010 tonnes (Romania) and 4255 tonnes (Bulgaria);Adjust the EU tariff rate quota ""meat of sheep or goats, fresh, chilled or frozen"", with an in-quota rate 0 %, by removing the allocations of 75 tonnes (Romania) and 1250 tonnes (Bulgaria).2. The European Union will ensure that the full additional allocation of 400 tonnes for Australia under the EU tariff rate quota ""meat of sheep or goats, fresh, chilled or frozen"", is available in the first annual quota period which applies on the date of entry into force of the agreement, and in each annual quota period thereafter.3. Australia accepts the European Union's approach to netting-out of tariff rate quotas as a way of adjusting the GATT obligations of the EU 25 and those of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania following the recent enlargement of the European Union.4. Consultations may be held at any time with regard to any of the above matters at the request of either Party.I should be obliged if you would confirm that your Government is in agreement with the content of this letter. Should this be the case, this letter and your confirmation will together constitute an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and Australia.The European Union and Australia will notify to each other the completion of their internal procedures for the entry into force of the Agreement. The Agreement will enter into force 14 days after the date of the latest notification.Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.For the European Union TIFF B.

The European Union will incorporate in its schedule, for the customs territory of the EU 27, the concessions granted and applied for the EU 25 with the following modifications:Add 400 tonnes (carcase weight) to the allocation for Australia under the EU tariff rate quota ""meat of sheep or goats, fresh, chilled or frozen"", maintaining the present in-quota rate of 0 %;Create an erga omnes allocation of 200 tonnes (carcase weight) under the EU tariff rate quota ""meat of sheep or goats, fresh, chilled or frozen"", maintaining the present in-quota rate of 0 %;Adjust the EU tariff rate quota ""live sheep, other than pure-bred breeding animals"", with an in-quota rate 10 %, by removing the allocations of 1010 tonnes (Romania) and 4255 tonnes (Bulgaria);Adjust the EU tariff rate quota ""meat of sheep or goats, fresh, chilled or frozen"", with an in-quota rate 0 %, by removing the allocations of 75 tonnes (Romania) and 1250 tonnes (Bulgaria).2. The European Union will ensure that the full additional allocation of 400 tonnes for Australia under the EU tariff rate quota ""meat of sheep or goats, fresh, chilled or frozen"", is available in the first annual quota period which applies on the date of entry into force of the agreement, and in each annual quota period thereafter.3. Australia accepts the European Union's approach to netting-out of tariff rate quotas as a way of adjusting the GATT obligations of the EU 25 and those of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania following the recent enlargement of the European Union.4. Consultations may be held at any time with regard to any of the above matters at the request of either Party.I should be obliged if you would confirm that your Government is in agreement with the content of this letter. Should this be the case, this letter and your confirmation will together constitute an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and Australia.The European Union and Australia will notify to each other the completion of their internal procedures for the entry into force of the Agreement. The Agreement will enter into force 14 days after the date of the latest notification."".I have the honour to express my Government's agreement with the above letter.Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.For the Government of Australia TIFF -------------------------------------------------- +",GATT;General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade;accession to the European Union;EU accession;accession to the Community;act of accession;application for accession;consequence of accession;request for accession;agreement (EU);EC agreement;EC third country convention;EU-third country agreement;European Union agreement;international agreement (EU);ratification of an agreement;conclusion of an agreement;import (EU);Community import;Romania;Australia;Commonwealth of Australia;tariff agreement;Bulgaria;Republic of Bulgaria,25 +3396,"2003/498/CFSP: Political and Security Committee Decision FYROM/3/2003 of 11 March 2003 amending the Political and Security Committee Decision FYROM/2/2003 of 10 March 2003 on the acceptance of third States contributions to the European Union military operation in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. ,Having regard to the Political and Security Committee Decision FYROM/2/2003 of 10 March 2003 on the acceptance of third States' contributions to the EU military operation in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia,Whereas:(1) By letter of 11 March 2003 the Hungarian Military Representative to NATO Military Committee and WEU offered a contribution to the EU Military Operation in FYROM.(2) On 11 March 2003, the Political and Security Committee, acting upon the recommendation of the EU Operation Commander and the EU Military Committee, decided to accept the contribution,.

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`.

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..

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. Part B ""Livestock and livestock products from the following species: bovine (including bubalus and bison species), porcine, ovine, caprine, equidae, poultry"" is amended as follows:1.2.1. The text of paragraph 4.9 is replaced by the following: ""By derogation from paragraph 4.8. when forage production is lost or when restrictions are imposed, in particular as a result of exceptional meteorological conditions, the outbreak of infectious diseases, the contamination with toxic substances, or as a consequence of fires, the competent authorities of the Member States can authorise for a limited period and in relation to a specific area, a higher percentage of conventional feedingstuffs where such authorisation is warranted. Upon approval by the competent authority, the inspection authority or body shall apply this derogation to individual operators. Member States will inform each other and the Commission on the derogations they have granted"".1.2.2. In paragraph 7.4 the word ""exclusively"" is included after the word ""cooperation"".2.

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.

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) +",crew;air hostess;air steward;aircrew;airline pilot;sailor;sea-going personnel;ship's captain;ship's crew;trade union;trade union association;trade union council;trade union federation;trade union organisation;trade unionism;workers' association;workers' trade union;interprofessional agreement;inter-professional agreement;carrier;charterer;forwarding agent;shipowner;working time;time worked,25 +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.

DGPC 070521 000604), Portugal introduced a programme to strengthen in 2008 its inspection infrastructures for checks on plants and plant products coming from third countries (2). It has applied for the allocation of a Community financial contribution for 2008 for that programme in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 998/2002 of 11 June 2002 establishing detailed rules for the implementation of the provisions relating to the allocation of a Community financial contribution for Member States in order to strengthen inspection infrastructures for plant-health checks on plants and plant products coming from third countries (3).(3) The technical information provided by Portugal has enabled the Commission to analyse the situation accurately and comprehensively. The Commission has prepared a list of eligible inspection posts strengthening programmes, which give details of the amount of the proposed Community financial contribution to each programme. The information has also been examined by the Standing Committee on Plant Health.(4) After assessment of the programme, the Commission has concluded that the conditions and criteria set out in Directive 2000/29/EC and Regulation (EC) No 998/2002 for the grant of a Community financial contribution have been met.(5) Accordingly, it is appropriate to allocate a Community financial contribution to cover the expenditure of that programme for 2008 by Portugal.(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,. The allocation of a Community financial contribution to cover expenditure to be incurred in 2008 by Portugal for its programme for strengthening inspection posts is hereby approved.

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

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..

whereas this draft became Law No 1101 of 1 December 1971;Whereas Article 20 of that law contains a new provision for aid which was not included in the text of the draft communicated to the Commission;Whereas the aid consists of a reduction in the social charges pertaining to family allowances for the benefit of the textile and garment-making industry and small crafts for a period of 3 years ; whereas the reduction in the rate of contributions is from 15 % to 10 %;Whereas the aid referred to has been repeatedly examined by the representatives of the Member States and has also been the subject of bilateral examination by the Commission and the representatives of Italy;Whereas in view of the serious likelihood that certain of the proposed provisions of the draft law might be incompatible with the common market, the Commission had initiated on 3 December 1969 in relation to the draft law as a whole the examination procedure laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 93 (2) of the EEC Treaty ; whereas under this procedure the Commission took a partial decision on 27 May 1970, whilst reserving its right to take further action upon receiving all the information necessary for assessing the merits of the proposed provisions;Whereas the Commission has therefore kept open the procedure which it initiated under Article 93 (2) for the purpose of examining the aid measure provided for in Article 20 of Law No 1101, and whereas, in accordance with that procedure, it has given notice to all interested parties to submit their comments;Whereas a reduction in one sector of certain social charges constitutes an aid within the meaning of Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty;IIWhereas aids to promote the restructuring and the modernization of Italian textile undertakings cannot be considered compatible with the common market unless they are intended as aids ""to facilitate the development of certain economic activities"" within the meaning of Article 92 (3) (c) of the EEC Treaty and unless they ""do not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest"";Whereas the Italian authorities have pointed out in support of the measures that its purpose is to offset the large gap between contributions and allowances in the industry in question, because of the large number of married women employed in that industry ; that the measure is also intended to lighten the financial burden of the undertakings benefiting from it, during the period of restructuring the effects of which on the capital position would only be felt gradually ; that the measure is also intended to reduce social charges, which are considerably higher in Italy than in the other Member States;Whereas, even if the general conditions under which undertakings carry out their activities do vary from one country of the Community to the other, a Member State cannot, however, isolate one particular factor such as social charges from these general conditions, and compensate through aids for the additional costs which, because of this factor, its undertakings have to incur by comparison with their competitors in other Member States;Whereas aids of this kind which take the form of a partial reduction of social charges constitute an aid of a conservative nature which is not such as to facilitate the ""development"" within the meaning of Article 92 (3) (c) of the EEC Treaty of the undertakings benefiting from it since it will not induce those undertakings which have difficulties of a structural nature to carry out the structural changes which would enable them to solve those problems;Whereas, moreover, the aid is granted to all undertakings in the textile industry without distinguishing between those which have structural difficulties and those which do not;Whereas, in addition, the aid is such as to jeopardize the principles notified by the Commission to Member States on 30 July 1971 whereby aids to the textile industry are to be granted within a Community framework;Whereas the aid is such as to affect competition and trade directly, because it has a direct effect on manufacturing costs and, consequently, on the competitiveness of the undertakings, and whereas the very strong competition and the large volume of trade in textiles within the Community, as well as the difficulties of adaptation now facing the whole of the Community textile industry, are factors which do not allow aid of this kind to be tolerated;Whereas, consequently, the Commission has no grounds for exempting the measure in question from the provisions relating to the incompatibility of aids laid down in Article 92 (1) of the EEC Treaty by allowing it to benefit from the exception provided for in Article 92 (3) (c) of the EEC Treaty ; whereas, in addition, this measure cannot be covered by the exception provided in Article 92 (3) (b) of the EEC Treaty ; whereas this measure is envisaged for a period as long as three years, and only concerns the textile and garment making industries ; whereas, moreover, various interventions and aids of a general nature are at present available in Italy to remedy short-term economic problems;Whereas a decision concerning the particular point of the reduction of social charges as laid down in Article 20 of Law 1101, does not conclude the Commission's examination of that law under Article 93 (3) of the EEC Treaty, since the Commission has not yet been informed of the actual criteria of selection which the inter-Ministerial Committee set up under Article 5 of the law will adopt for the purpose of granting the other advantages provided for in the law, and which must be notified to the Commission according to the aforementioned Article of the Treaty;Whereas this Decision cannot be considered a final decision within the meaning of the last sentence of Article 93 (3) of the EEC Treaty, as would allow a Member State to put into effect such of the proposed aid measures as are not covered by this Decision;. The Italian Republic shall abolish the temporary and partial reduction of social charges pertaining to family allowances provided for in Article 20 of Law No 1101 of 1 December 1971 for the benefit of all textile industrial and small craft undertakings.

On 15 June 2009 Commission Decision 2009/471/EC (3) was adopted granting an extension of that temporary derogation. On 21 December 2009 Mauritius requested in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 a new derogation from the rules of origin set out in that Annex. According to the information received from Mauritius the catches of raw tuna remain unusually low even compared to the normal seasonal variations. Given that the abnormal situation in 2009 remains unchanged for 2010 a new derogation should be granted with effect from 1 January 2010.(2) On 14 August 2008 Commission Decision 2008/691/EC (4) was adopted granting a temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 to take account of the special situation of Seychelles with regard to preserved tuna. By Decision 2009/471/EC an extension of that temporary derogation was granted. On 25 January 2010 Seychelles requested in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 a new derogation from the rules of origin set out in that Annex. According to the information provided by Seychelles the catches of raw tuna remain very low even compared to the normal seasonal variations. Given that the abnormal situation in 2009 remains unchanged for 2010 a new derogation should be granted with effect from 1 January 2010.(3) On 18 September 2008 Commission Decision 2008/751/EC (5) was adopted granting a temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 to take account of the special situation of Madagascar with regard to preserved tuna and tuna loins. By Decision 2009/471/EC an extension of that temporary derogation was granted. On 22 May 2010 Madagascar requested in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 a new derogation from the rules of origin set out in that Annex. On 8 June 2010 Madagascar provided additional information. According to the information provided by Madagascar sourcing of raw originating tuna remains difficult due to their unavailability. Given that the abnormal situation in 2009 remains unchanged for 2010 a new derogation should be granted with effect from 1 January 2010.(4) Decisions 2008/603/EC, 2008/691/EC and 2008/751/EC applied until 31 December 2009 because the Interim Economic Partnership Agreement between the Eastern and Southern Africa States on the one part and the European Community and its Member States on the other part (ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement) did not enter into force or was not provisionally applied before that date.(5) In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 the rules of origin set out in Annex II to that Regulation and the derogations to them are to be superseded by the rules of the ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement of which the entry into force or the provisional application is foreseen to take place in 2010.(6) It is necessary to ensure continuity of importations from the ACP countries to the Union as well as a smooth transition to the Interim Economic Partnership Agreement. Decisions 2008/603/EC, 2008/691/EC and 2008/751/EC should therefore be prolonged with effect from 1 January 2010.(7) Mauritius, Seychelles and Madagascar will benefit from an automatic derogation from the rules of origin for tuna of HS heading 1604 pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Origin Protocol attached to the ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement signed by them, when this Agreement enters into force or is provisionally applied. It would be inappropriate to grant by this Decision derogations in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 which exceed the annual quota granted to the ESA region under the ESA-EU Interim Partnership Agreement. The ESA signatories to the Agreement have therefore signed a unilateral political declaration concerning the derogations for tuna granted in 2010 whereby these countries renounce to the global annual quantity of the automatic derogation for 2010 in case that the Agreement will either be provisionally applied or enter into force during this year. Consequently the quota amounts for 2010 should be set at the same level as for 2009.(8) Decisions 2008/603/EC, 2008/691/EC and 2008/751/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,.

Those programmes concern the eradication and control of certain animal diseases, programmes of checks aimed at the prevention of zoonoses, programmes for the control of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) and also programmes for the eradication of bovine spongiform encephalopathies (BSE) and scrapie.(2) In accordance with Article 3(2)(a) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (2), animal disease eradication and control programmes (veterinary measures) are to be financed from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund.

PROCEDURE(1)By Regulation (EEC) No 2357/87 (2), the Council amended Regulation (EEC) No 1282/81, imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United Statesof America (3). Anti-dumping duty of 5,9 % wasapplied to the American company US Industrial Chemicals Co., later to become Quantum Chemical Corporation, to which the 5,9 % duty was declaredto be applicable by Council Regulation (EEC)No 2166/89 (4).(2)Since June 1988 Guzman, SA, Valencia, Spain, has been submitting periodic applications for refund of anti-dumping duties paid on the purchase of vinyl acetate monomer exported by the American company Quantum Chemical Corporation and sold by its subsidiary Quantum Chemical Europe BV, a Dutch company.The Commission, with the agreement of the applicant, decided to treat the applications as recurring applications within the meaning ofpoint 1.4 of the Commission notice concerning the reimbursement of anti-dumping duties (hereinafter referred to as 'the notice' (5). Accordingly, theapplicant has submitted successive applications, within the three-month time limit set out underArticle 16(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. The information required to assess the merits of the applications has been provided at six-monthly intervals.(3)In November 1988 the Commission received a request lodged by Quantum Chemical Corporation, a US producer/exporter, for a review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating in the United States of America. On 25 April 1989 the Commission opened the review proceeding covering the period October 1988 to March 1989 inclusive (6). In accordance with point 1.5 of the notice, it was decided that the proceeding regarding the application for reimbursement wouldbe suspended until termination of the review. However, the applicant continued to submit periodic applications. Council Regulation (EEC) No 490/90 repealed Regulation (EEC) No 2357/87 and terminated the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of vinyl acetate monomer originating inthe United States (7). Thus, since 2 March 1990, anti-dumping duty can no longer be imposed on imports of vinyl acetate monomer.(4)So as not to delay the decision on refunds, it was decided to process immediately the applications concerning imports made up to March 1989. These applications were examined during the review and are covered by this Decision. Recurring applications submitted after this date, or which might still be submitted, covering periods up to 1 March 1990 - when the duty ceased to be applicable - will be covered by a further Decision.(5)The total amount of refunds requested was Pta (. . .) (8), which represents all the duty paid during the reference period in question.(6)The applicant was informed of the results of this examination and had the opportunity to submit its comments.(7)Pursuant to Article 16 (2) of Regulation (EEC)No 2423/88, the Commission informed the Member States and gave its opinion on the applications' admissibility and merits. No Member State raised any objection.B. ARGUMENT OF THE APPLICANT(8)The applicant argued that the imports in question were not dumped.C. ADMISSIBILITY(9)The applicant submitted its first request for refund on 1 June 1988 in respect of duties determined in December 1987 and March 1988. Pursuant to Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, applications for refund of anti-dumping duties are admissible if they are submitted within three months of the date on which the anti-dumping duties were duly determined. The first application by Guzman, SA is, therefore, inadmissible only in part and should be rejected in so far as it relates to duties determined in December 1987, in respect of which the amount of Pta (. . .) should be deducted from the total amount of refund requested.The remaining recurring applications are admissible in that they were lodged in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Community's anti-dumping legislation, in particular with regard to time limits.D. MERITS OF THE CLAIM(10)All the applications examined, covering the period March 1988 to March 1989, are well founded. Indeed, the applicant, in accordance with the provisions of Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, supplied evidence that the actual dumping margin had been eliminated by the time the importsin question were made. The Commission was ableto verify all the information supplied and found that the dumping margin was nil. This development was due to substantial modifications in export prices resulting from significant changes in market conditions worldwide for the product imported.Accordingly, the applications for refund of anti-dumping duties submitted by Guzman, SA for the period March 1988 to March 1989 inclusive should be granted in full.E. AMOUNT TO BE REIMBURSED(11)A total of Pta (. . .) is therefore to be reimbursed to Guzman, SA,. The application for refund of anti-dumping duties submitted by Guzman, SA, Valencia, Spain, on 1 June 1988 is inadmissible in part and is hereby rejected in respect of an amount totalling Pta (. . .).

When reference is made to the provisions of Articles 17 and 18 of, and Annex V to, Directive 2009/28/EC this should be construed as the reference also to the similar provisions of Articles 7a, 7b and 7c of, and Annex IV to, Directive 2009/30/EC.(2) Where biofuels and bioliquids are to be taken into account for the purposes referred to in Article 17(1)(a), (b) and (c), Member States shall require economic operators to show the compliance of biofuels and bioliquids with the sustainability criteria set out in Article 17(2) to (5) of Directive 2009/28/EC.(3) Recital 76 of Directive 2009/28/EC states that the imposition of an unreasonable burden on industry should be avoided and voluntary schemes can help creating efficient solutions for proving compliance with these sustainability criteria.(4) The Commission may decide that a voluntary national or international scheme demonstrates that consignments of biofuels comply with the sustainability criteria set out in Article 17(3) to (5) of Directive 2009/28/EC or that a voluntary national or international scheme to measure greenhouse gas emission savings contains accurate data for the purposes of Article 17(2) of this Directive.(5) The Commission may recognise such a voluntary scheme for a period of 5 years.(6) When an economic operator provides proof or data obtained in accordance with a scheme that has been recognised by the Commission, to the extent covered by that recognition decision, a Member State shall not require the supplier to provide further evidence of compliance with the sustainability criteria.(7) The ‘Abengoa RED Bioenergy Sustainability Assurance’ (hereinafter ‘RBSA’) scheme was submitted on 8 April 2011 to the Commission with the request for recognition. The scheme covers a wide range of products and applies to all geographic locations. The recognised scheme will be made available at the transparency platform established under Directive 2009/28/EC. The Commission will take into account considerations of commercial sensitivity and may decide to only partially publish the scheme.(8) Assessment of the RBSA scheme found it to adequately cover the sustainability criteria of Directive 2009/28/EC, as well as applying a mass balance methodology in line with the requirements of Article 18(1) of Directive 2009/28/EC.(9) The evaluation of the RBSA scheme found that it meets adequate standards of reliability, transparency and independent auditing and also complies with the methodological requirements in Annex V to Directive 2009/28/EC.(10) Any additional sustainability elements covered by the ‘RBSA’ scheme are not part of the consideration of this Decision. These additional sustainability criteria are not mandatory to show compliance with sustainability requirements set up in Directive 2009/28/EC. The Commission may at a later stage take a view on whether the scheme also contains accurate data for the purpose of information on measures taken for issues referred to in the second paragraph, second sentence of Article 18(4) of Directive 2009/28/EC,. The voluntary scheme ‘RBSA’ for which the request for recognition was submitted to the Commission on 8 April 2011 demonstrates that consignments of biofuels comply with the sustainability criteria as laid down in Article 17(3)(a), (b) and (c) and Article 17(4) and (5) of Directive 2009/28/EC and Article 7b(3)(a), (b) and (c) and Article 7b(4) and (5) of Directive 98/70/EC. The scheme also contains accurate data for purposes of Article 17(2) of Directive 2009/28/EC and Article 7b(2) of Directive 98/70/EC.Furthermore, it may be used for demonstrating compliance with Article 18(1) of Directive 2009/28/EC and Article 7c(1) of Directive 98/70/EC. 1.   The Decision is valid for a period of 5 years after it enters into force. If the scheme, after adoption of Commission decision, undergoes changes to its contents in a way that might affect the basis of this Decision, such changes shall be notified to the Commission without delay. The Commission will assess the notified changes with a view to establish whether the scheme is still adequately covering the sustainability criteria for which it is recognised.2.   If it has been clearly demonstrated that the scheme has not implemented elements considered to be decisive for this Decision and if severe and structural breach of those elements has taken place, the Commission reserves the right to revoke its Decision. This Decision enters into force 20 days after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union..

As essential elements of that Agreement, respect for human rights, democratic institutions and the rule of law form the basis of our relations.By letter dated 19 February 2002, the European Union informed you of its decision to conclude the consultations held under Article 96 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement and to take appropriate measures within the meaning of Article 96(2)(c) of that Agreement.By letter dated 15 February 2010, the European Union informed you of its decision not to revoke the appropriate measures and to extend their period of application until 20 February 2011.Since the establishment of the Government of National Unity (GNU) in 2009, the progress achieved based on the Global Political Agreement (GPA) has been welcomed by the European Union. The European Union reiterates the great importance it attaches to the political dialogue, provided for in Article 8 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, and officially launched at the request of the Government of Zimbabwe at the EU-Zimbabwe Ministerial Troika on 18-19 June 2009 in Brussels. At the most recent Ministerial Meeting of 2 July 2010, an inclusive Zimbabwean Delegation headed by Minister Mangoma, handed over an updated version of the GPA Commitment Plan. The European Union took note of the progress made so far in the implementation of the GPA and informed the Government of Zimbabwe by letter dated 29 September 2010 of the 10th EDF indicative allocation (EUR 130 million to become available upon lifting of Article 96 and signing of a Country Strategy Paper). The European Union remains committed to further intensifying the Article 8 political dialogue.The European Union supports the ongoing efforts of the GNU to implement the GPA, and welcomes the achievements made in stabilising the economy and restoring basic social services. However, the European Union regrets the lack of progress on key political agreements of the GPA.The European Union encourages all parties forming the GNU to remain committed to the implementation of the democratic reforms as set out in the GPA. The European Union considers progress in this area, such as an understanding between all parties to the GNU on concrete steps towards creating an environment for peaceful and credible elections, to be of great importance.In this context, the European Union welcomes intensified regional diplomacy and the efforts of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and its Member States to create an environment conducive to elections.In light of the above, the European Union has decided to extend until 20 February 2012 the period of application of the appropriate measures set out in Council Decision 2002/148/EC and adapted in Council Decision 2010/97/CFSP. The European Union would like to assure Zimbabwe of its continued willingness to engage itself and to review at any time the restrictions on development cooperation. We would hope that concrete progress on the ground could be made to allow for full cooperation to resume. In this context, the European Union will closely follow the steps made by the Government of Zimbabwe towards ensuring credible elections.Yours faithfully,For the European Union +",democracy;democratic equality;political pluralism;association agreement (EU);EC association agreement;political violence;guerrilla;revolution;Zimbabwe;Republic of Zimbabwe;Southern Rhodesia;ACP countries;rule of law;human rights;attack on human rights;human rights violation;protection of human rights;EU aid;Community aid;Community support;European Union aid;aid from the EU;aid from the European Union;financial aid;capital grant;financial grant,26 +3296,"2003/325/EC: Commission Decision of 12 May 2003 on transitional measures under Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the separation of category 1, 2 and 3 processing plants (Text with EEA relevance) (notified under document number C(2003) 1498). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 October 2002 laying down health rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption(1), and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,Whereas:(1) Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 provides for a complete revision of Community rules concerning animal by-products not intended for human consumption, including the introduction of a number of strict requirements. In addition, it provides that appropriate transitional measures may be adopted.(2) In view of the strict nature of those requirements, it is necessary to provide for transitional measures for France and Finland in order to allow industry sufficient time to adjust. In addition, alternative collection, transport, storage, handling, processing and uses for animal by-products need to be further developed as well as disposal methods for those by-products.(3) Accordingly, as a temporary measure a derogation should be granted to France and Finland to enable them to authorise operators to continue to apply national rules to the separation of category 1, 2 and 3 processing plants.(4) In order to prevent a risk to animal and public health, appropriate control systems should be maintained in France and Finland for the period of the transitional measures.(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Derogation regarding the complete separation of category 1, 2 and 3 processing plantsPursuant to Article 32(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 and by way of derogation from paragraph 1 of Chapter I of Annex VI or paragraph 1 of Chapter I of Annex VII to that Regulation, France and Finland may continue to grant individual approvals until 30 April 2004 in the case of France and until 31 October 2005 in the case of Finland at the latest to operators of premises and facilities in conformity with national rules, to apply such rules for the complete separation of category 1, 2 and 3 processing plants, provided that the national rules:(a) ensure prevention of cross-contamination between the categories of materials;(b) are only applied in premises and facilities that applied those rules on 1 November 2002;(c) comply with the rest of the specific requirements set out in paragraphs 2 to 9 of Chapter I of Annex VI and in paragraphs 2 to 10 of Chapter I of Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002.

Withdrawal of approvals and disposal of material not complying with this Decision1. Individual approvals by the competent authority for the complete separation of category 1, 2 and 3 processing plants shall be immediately and permanently withdrawn in respect of any operator, premises or facilities if the conditions set out in this Decision are no longer fulfilled.2. The competent authority shall withdraw any approvals granted under Article 1 at the latest by 30 April 2004 in the case of France, and 31 October 2005 in the case of Finland.The competent authority shall not grant a final approval under Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 unless on the basis of its inspections it is satisfied that the premises and facilities referred to in Article 1 meet all the requirements of that Regulation.3.

As regards the foodstuffs not yet covered by Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006, it was considered necessary and appropriate for the protection of public health to establish maximum levels for ochratoxin A in those foodstuffs that are a significant contributor to the exposure of OTA (for the whole population, or for vulnerable group of the population, or for significant part of the population) or for those foodstuffs that are not necessarily a significant contributor to the exposure of OTA, but there is evidence that there can be found a very high level of OTA in these commodities. A maximum level is appropriate to be set in these cases to avoid that those very highly contaminated commodities could enter the food chain.(5) On the basis of the information available, it does not appear necessary for the protection of public health to set a maximum level of OTA in dried fruit other than dried vine fruit, cocoa and cocoa products, meat products, including edible offal and blood products and liqueur wines as they are not a significant contributor to OTA exposure and high levels of OTA have been found only seldom in those commodities. In the case of green coffee and beer, the presence of OTA is already controlled at another more appropriate stage of the production chain (respectively roasted coffee and malt).(6) Very high levels of OTA have been observed at several occasions in spices and liquorice. It is therefore appropriate to set a maximum level for spices and liquorice.(7) There is recent evidence that in some main producing countries of spices exporting to the Union no prevention measures and official controls are in place to control the presence of ochratoxin A in spices. In order to protect public health, it is appropriate to establish without delay a maximum level for ochratoxin A in spices. To enable the producing countries to put prevention measures in place and not to disrupt trade to an unacceptable extent, a higher maximum level, applicable within short notice, is established for a limited period of time, before the maximum level reflecting the level achievable by applying good practices enters into application. It is appropriate that an assessment of the achievability in the different producing regions in the world of the levels for ochratoxin A by applying good practices takes place before the stricter level applies.(8) It is appropriate to continue the monitoring of OTA in foodstuffs for which no maximum level has been set and in the case of regular findings of unusually high levels of OTA, setting of a maximum level for OTA in those foodstuffs might be considered as appropriate.(9) Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 is amended as follows:1. point 2.2.11 is replaced by the following points:‘2.2.11.

This Regulation shall not apply to products which were placed on the market at a date prior to 1 July 2010 in conformity with the provisions applicable at such date.The maximum level for ochratoxin A established in point 2.2.11 of the Annex which is applicable as from 1 July 2012 shall not apply to products which were placed on the market at a date prior to 1 July 2012 in conformity with the provisions applicable at such date.The burden of proving when the products were placed on the market shall be borne by the food business operator.

This is due to the general slowdown in the economy, which has had significant effect on industrial activities in general, and on the steel industry in particular, leading to a serious imbalance between supply and demand, accompanied by a collapse in prices. In addition, the international market generally has been weak: there is pressure from imports and there has been a trade dispute with the United States of America affecting substantial Community exports to that market. All of these factors have combined to aggravate the financial situation of almost all steel companies in the Community.II On 18 January 1993, Germany notified the Commission of a plan of the Treuhandanstalt, a public body in charge of the privatization of the State-owned enterprises of the former German Democratic Republic, to grant aid to its steel company Saechsische Edelstahlwerke GmbH, Freital/Sachsen (hereinafter referred to as 'SEW Freital') in the framework of its privatization, with a request for the application of Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty in respect of the aid measures that cannot be approved under Commission Decision No 3855/91/ECSC (1) (Steel Aid Code, hereinafter referred to as 'the SAC').The company in question was founded in the 19th century and is held by the Treuhandanstalt since the German economic, monetary and social unification in June 1990. The undertaking was offered for sale in an unconditional and open bidding procedure. Five applicants demonstrated interest in the acquisition of SEW Freital. Following talks between the Treuhandanstalt and those five applicants, concrete contractual negotiations were conducted until October 1992 with three of them. While one of the remaining three withdrew its offer in August 1992, the proposal of the second was considered not to be backed by a reliable financial plan. The private West-German Boschgotthardtshuette O. Breyer GmbH (hereinafter referred to as 'BGH') remained as sole bidder. The purchase contract was signed in December 1992, inter alia, subject to approval by the Commission. Through is contract, SEW Freital has been taken over by SEW Edelstahl GmbH and Co Holding, which is entirely owned by BGH.The plan of the purchaser provides for a reduction of the hot-rolling capacity of the company by at least 160 kt/y (47 %) and a reduction of the crude-steel capacity by 100 kt/y (33 %) compared to the situation on 1 July 1990. The comany will close down all existing hot-rolling facilities and replace them by a merchant-bar mill with a capacity of 180 kt/y of which some parts will be provided to the company by BGH for free. It will close down all of its remaining crude-steel facilities and replace them by an electric arc furnace with a capacity of 200 kt/y. The capacity reduction will be accompanied by a substantial reduction in the workforce, namely by 49 %.The privatization provisions include aid elements that are incomptible with the ECSC Treaty and with the provisions of the SAC. According to the Commission's estimates, this aid amounts to a maximum of DM 274 million, serving the following purposes:- a maximum amount of DM 34 million has been accorded to cover social charges relating to the release of 1 056 of 2 166 employees,- a maximum amount of DM 189 million is to cover debts accumulated until privatization,- a maximum amount of DM 42 million which the Treuhandanstalt will pay to the company for repair and maintenance of installations,- a maximum amount of DM 9 milion by which the Treuhandanstalt guarantees the valuation of certains assets.Additional investment aid up to a maximum of DM 47,8 million, a tax allowance of DM 12,8 million and a guarantee covering up to 80 % of the investment loans of DM 100,8 million has been approved by the Commission under the SAC.III The restructuring plan on which the purchase agreement is based is considered viable by the Commission since a private investor experienced in the steel sector is prepared to risk a considerable amount of own capital. The investor, chosen after an open and unconditional bidding procedure, has demonstrated his willingness to assume the risk for the company's future viability without further aid than that covered by the purchase contract.IV The extremely difficult Community steel market situation has endangered the sector in several Member States, including Germany. The aim of providing the steel industry in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic with a sound and economically viable structure contributes towards the achievement of the objectives of the Treaty, in particular Articles 2 and 3. The Commission considers that the public financial assistance measures proposed by Germany are necessary to achieve these aims. The Commission therefore finds itself faced with a situation not specifically provided for in the Treaty. In these exceptional circumstances, recourse must be had to the first paragraph of Article 95 of the Treaty, so as to enable the Community to pursue the objectives set out in the initial Articles thereof.At the same time, however, it is essential to ensure that the aid approved is limited to what is absolutely necessary and that it does not adversely affect trading conditions within the Community to an extent contrary to the common interest, particularly given the current difficulties on the Community steel market. It is therefore important that there should be adequate counterpart measures, commensurate with the amount of aid being exceptionally approved, so that a major contribution is made to the structural adjustment required in the sector.V As regards the capacity reductions envisaged under the plan, it is necessary to require that all the closures are definitive and irreversible so that the capacity concerned no longer depresses the Community steel market. The closed installations must therefore be scrapped or sold for use outside Europe. In addition, there should be no increase in remaining capacity for crude-steel and hot-rolled finished products, other than resulting from productivity improvements, for a period of at least five years starting from the date of the last capacity closure, or of the last payment of aid in respect of investments under the plan, whichever is the later, in order to ensure a long-term and real effect on reducing the current imbalance between supply and demand on the Community steel market. It is also essential that the timetable for closures set out in the restructuring plan is complied with.VI It is not only necessary to ensure during the whole restructuring period that the aid approved enables the company to return to viability, the aid must also be kept to the amount strictly necessary. In that context, it must also be ensured that the company does not, as a result of the financial restructuring measures, obtain an unfaire advantage over other companies in the sector by being provided at the outset with net financial charges below 3,5 % of annual turnover, which is the current average for Community steel companies. It is also appropriate to require that the company or its legal successor is not allowed to claim or be granted tax reduction or relief on past losses covered by aid. Furthermore, any additional loans must be on normal commercial conditions and no preferential treatment accorded to any fresh public debts incurred.VII The implementation of this Decision requires strict monitoring by the Commission during the whole restructuring period up and until the end of 1998.In order to carry out this monitoring effectively, the Commission will require the full and close collaboration of Germany, on whom clear and strict reporting obligations will be imposed.In particolar, the following elements will require close attention:- the reduction of capacity,- the granting of aid under the present privatization plan and the source, terms and conditions of any further financing over and above that period for in the plan,- the investments carried out,- reductions in the workforce,- production and the effects on the market,- financial performance.The Commission will submit six-monthly reports to the Council to keep it informed of developments.It is also necessary to ensure that the aid is not used for the purpose of unfair competition practices. In addition the Commission may require on-the-spot checks made in accordance with Article 47 of ECSC Treaty, in order to verify the informations provided and in particular the compliance with the conditions attached to the authorization of the aid. In that context, should a Member State make a complaint to the Commission that State aid is enabling the company to underprice, the Commission will initiate an investigation pursuant to Article 60 of the ECSC Treaty in particular.Furthermore, should the Commission, on the basis of the information provided, find that the conditions laid down in its decision pursuant to Article 95 had not been met, it may require the suspension of payments of aid or the recovery of aid already paid. In the event of a Member State's failing to comply with such decision, Article 88 of the ECSC Treaty shall apply.The Commission may decide that all reports should be on a quarterly basis. It may also decide to mandate an independent consultant, selected with the agreement of Germany, to assist it in its monitoring task.The Commission will, by exercising all its powers, ensure that the aided company fulfils the conditions of this Decision, including the necessary progress towards viability and its other obligations resulting from the application of the ECSC Treaty. Should the monitoring reports indicate substantial deviations from the financial data on which the viability assessment has been made, the Commission may require appropriate measures to be taken to reinforce the restructuring measures.VIII A decision pursuant to Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty to authorize State aid is extraordinary in character given the provisions of Article 4 (c). Inview of all the above, the Commission can exceptionally authorize the aid proposed in this case subject to observance of the conditions and requirements it lays down. However, the aid involved, which is intended to restore the company to viability by the end of 1997, should be regarded as final. Should a return to viability not be achieved by that date, Germany shall not request any further derogation pursuant to Article 95 for the company,. 1. The following maximum amounts of aid which Germany plans to grant to Saechsische Edelstahlwerke GmbH, Freital/Sachsen may be regarded as compatible with the orderly functioning of the common market provided that the conditions and requirements of Articles 2 to 5 are met:- an amount of DM 34 million to cover social charges relating to the release of 1 056 employĂŠes,- an mount of DM 189 million to cover debts accumulated until privatization,- an amount of DM 42 million for repair and maintenance of installations,- an amount of DM 9 million by which the Treuhandanstalt guarantees the valuation of certain assets.2. The aid has been calculated to enable the company to return to viability by the end of 1996. In the case that such viability is not atteined by that date, Germany shall not request any further derogation pursuant to Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty for this company.3. The aid shall not be used for the purpose of unfair competition practices.4. Without prejudice to the aid measures referred to in this Article under the privatization plan, any loans to the company must be on normal commercial terms; and the beneficiary company must not receive debt holidays or friendly treatment of debts to the State. 1. The following definitive closure of production capacity shall be carried out:- the existing mill for hot-rolled semi-finished products with a capacity of 90 kt/y, the medium-section mill with a capacity of 170 kt/y and the light-section mill with a capacity of 80 kt/y shall be closed down and replaced by a merchant-bar mill with a capacity of 180 kt/y, parts of which being moved from the BGH plant in Siegen,- the existing crude-steel production facilities with a capacity of 300 kt/y shall be closed down to be replaced by a new electric arc furnace with a capacity of 200 kt/y.2. All the capacity closures must be achieved by the end of 1996 at the latest.3. The finality of the closures referred to in paragraph 1 shall be ensured either by the demolition of the installations concerned or by their disposal by sale outside Europe.4. The beneficiary company shall not increase its remaining capacity for crude steel and hot-rolled finished products, other than resulting from productivity improvements, for a period of at least five years starting from the date of the last capacity closure under the plan or the date of the last payment of aid in respect of investments under the plan, whichever is the later. The approval of aid as outlined in Article 1 is in addition subject to the following conditions:1. the level of net financial charges of the new company will be set at least at 3,5 % of annual turnover, at the date of its privatization;2. the company or its legal successor will not claim or be granted tax reduction or relief on the basis of past losses which are being covered by State aid;3. the beneficiary company shall carry out all the restructuring measures laid down in the restructuring plan as it has been submitted to the Commission, in accordanced with the timetable contained therein. 1. Germany shall cooperate fully with the following arrangements for monitoring this Decision:(a) Germany shall supply the Commission twice a year, and not later than 15 March and 15 September respectively, with reports containing full information in accordance with the enclosed Annex, on the beneficiary company and its restructuring. The first report should reach the Commission by 15 March 1994 and the last report by 15 September 1998, unless the Commission decides otherwise;(b) the reports shall contain full information necessary for the Commission to monitor the restructuring process, the creation and use of capacity and show sufficient financial data to allow the Commission to assess whether its conditions and requirements are fulfilled. The reports shall at least contain full information in accordance with the Annex, which the Commission reserves the right to modify in line with its experiences during the monitoring process. It is up to Germany to oblige the beneficiary company to disclose all relevant data which may, under other circumstances, be considered as confidential.2. The Commission shall, on the basis of the reports, draw up half-yearly reports which shall be submitted to the Council not later than 1 May and 1 November respectively, in order to allow discussion in the Council, if appropriate. If the beneficiary company envisages investments creating or extending capacity, the Commission shall inform the Council on the basis of a report presenting the financing arrangements and demonstrating the absence of State aid. 1. The Commission may at any time decide that the reports referred to in Article 4 (1) shall be on a quarterly basis if it deems such necessary to fulfil its monitoring tasks. The Commission may at any time decide to mandate an independent consultant, selected with the agreement of Germany, to evaluate the monitoring results, to undertake any research necessary and to report to the Council.2. The Commission may have any necessary checks made in the aided company in accordance with Article 47 of the ECSC Treaty in order to verify the accuracy of the information given in the reports referred to in Article 4 (1) and in particular compliance with the conditions laid down in this Decision. In the case that a Member State makes a complaint that State aid is enabling the aided company to underprice, the Commission will initiate an investigation pursuant to Article 60 of the ECSC Treaty in particular.3. In assessing the reports referred to in Article 4 (1), the Commission will ensure that the requirements of Article 1 (4), in particular, are being respected. 1. Without prejudice to any penalties it may impose by virtue of the ECSC Treaty, the Commission may require the suspension of payments of aid or the recovery of aid already paid if, on the basis of the information received, at any time it were to find that the conditions laid down in this Decision had not been met. If Germany were to fail to fulfil its obligations under any such decision, Article 88 of the ECSC Treaty shall apply.2. Moreover, if the Commission establishes, on the basis of the reports referred to in Article 4 (1), that substantial deviations from the financial data, on which the viability assessment has been made, have occured, it may require Germany to take appropriate measures to reinforce the restructuring measures of the aided company.

In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.(2) The common commercial policy should be based on uniform principles, inter alia, as regards exports.(3) Common rules should therefore be established for exports from the Community.(4) Exports are almost completely liberalised in all the Member States. It is therefore possible to accept as a Community principle that exports to third countries are not subject to any quantitative restriction, subject to the exceptions provided for in this Regulation and without prejudice to such measures as Member States may take in conformity with the Treaty.(5) The Commission should be informed if, as a result of unusual developments on the market, a Member State considers that protective measures might be necessary.(6) It is essential that examination should take place at Community level, in particular on the basis of any such information and within an advisory committee, of export terms and conditions, of export trends, of the various aspects of the economic and commercial situation, and of the measures, if any, to be taken.(7) It may become apparent from this examination that the Community should exercise surveillance over certain exports, or that interim protective measures should be introduced as a safeguard against unforeseen practices. The need for rapid and effective action makes it justifiable for the Commission to be empowered to decide upon such measures, but without prejudice to the subsequent position of the Council, whose responsibility it is to adopt a policy consistent with the interests of the Community.(8) Any protective measures necessitated by the interests of the Community should be adopted with due regard for existing international obligations.(9) It is desirable that Member States be empowered, in certain circumstances and provided that their actions are on an interim basis only, to take protective measures individually.(10) It is desirable that while such protective measures are in operation there should be an opportunity for consultation for the purpose of examining the effects of the measures and of ascertaining whether the conditions for their application are still satisfied.(11) It is necessary to authorise Member States which are bound by international commitments setting up, in cases of actual or potential supply difficulties, a system for the allocation of oil products between contracting parties to comply with the resulting obligations vis-à-vis third countries, without prejudice to Community provisions adopted to the same end. This authorisation should apply until the adoption by the Council of appropriate measures pursuant to commitments entered into by the Community or all the Member States.(12) This Regulation should apply to all products, whether industrial or agricultural. Its operation should be complementary to that of the instruments establishing common organisation of agricultural markets, and to that of the special instruments adopted under Article 308 of the Treaty for processed agricultural products. Any overlap between the provisions of this Regulation and the provisions of these instruments, particularly the protective clauses thereof, must however be avoided,. CHAPTER IBASIC PRINCIPLE The exportation of products from the European Community to third countries shall be free, that is to say, they shall not be subject to any quantitative restriction, with the exception of those restrictions which are applied in conformity with the provisions of this Regulation.CHAPTER IICOMMUNITY INFORMATION AND CONSULTATION PROCEDURE If, as a result of any unusual developments on the market, a Member State considers that protective measures within the meaning of Chapter III might be necessary, it shall so notify the Commission, which shall advise the other Member States. 1.   Consultations may be held at any time, either at the request of a Member State or on the initiative of the Commission.2.   Consultations shall take place within 4 working days following receipt by the Commission of the notification provided for in Article 2, and in all cases before the introduction of any measure pursuant to Articles 5 to 7. 1.   Consultations shall take place within an advisory committee (hereinafter called ‘the Committee’), which shall consist of representatives of each Member State with a representative of the Commission as Chairman.2.   The Committee shall meet when convened by its Chairman. He shall provide all the Member States, as promptly as possible, with all relevant information.3.   Consultations shall in particular cover:(a) terms and conditions of export, export trends, and the various aspects of the economic and commercial situation as regards the product in question;(b) the measures, if any, to be adopted. For the purpose of assessing the economic and commercial situation as regards a particular product, the Commission may request Member States to supply statistical data on market trends in that product and, to this end, acting in accordance with their national legislation and with a procedure to be specified by the Commission, to exercise surveillance over exports of such product. Member States shall take whatever steps are necessary in order to give effect to requests from the Commission and shall forward to the Commission the data requested. The Commission shall inform the other Member States.CHAPTER IIIPROTECTIVE MEASURES 1.   In order to prevent a critical situation from arising on account of a shortage of essential products, or to remedy such a situation, and where Community interests call for immediate intervention, the Commission, acting at the request of a Member State or on its own initiative, and taking account of the nature of the products and of the other particular features of the transactions in question, may make the export of a product subject to the production of an export authorisation, the granting of which shall be governed by such provisions and subject to such limits as the Commission shall lay down pending subsequent action by the Council under Article 7.2.   The Council and the Member States shall be notified of the measures taken. Such measures shall take effect immediately.3.   The measures may be limited to exports to certain countries or to exports from certain regions of the Community. They shall not affect products already on their way to the Community frontier.4.   Where intervention by the Commission has been requested by a Member State, the Commission shall take a decision within a maximum of 5 working days of receipt of such request.

That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(3) The application concerns the authorisation of a new use of the enzyme preparation 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by Trichoderma reesei (CBS 122001) as a feed additive for turkeys, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.(4) The use of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) has been authorised for poultry for fattening and breeding other than turkeys for fattening, for poultry for laying and for pigs other than sows by Commission Regulation (EU) No 277/2010 (2).(5) New data were submitted to support the application. The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 10 March 2010 (3) that 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26), under the proposed conditions of use, does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that its use can improve the performance of the animals. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.(6) The assessment of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 172/2008 on imports of ferro-silicon originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,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 Article 11 paragraphs 3 and 6 thereof,Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:1.   PROCEDURE1.1.   Existing measures(1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 172/2008 (2) (‘the original Regulation’), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ferro-sillicon (‘FeSi’) originating in the People's Republic of China, Egypt, Kazakhstan, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Russia. The measures consist of ad valorem duties in the range of 5,4 % to 33,9 % depending on the country of origin, with the exception of four companies expressly mentioned in the original Regulation which are subject to individual duty rates.1.2.   Request for a review(2) Subsequent to the imposition of definitive measures, the Commission received a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation (‘the interim review’). The request, limited in scope to the examination of dumping, was lodged by an exporting producer from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Silmak Dooel Export Import (‘the applicant’ or ‘Silmak’). The applicant cooperated in the investigation which led to the findings and conclusions laid down in the original Regulation (‘the original investigation’). The anti-dumping duty applicable to the applicant, which is the only known exporting producer of the product concerned originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, is 5,4 %.(3) In its request for the interim review, the applicant argued that a comparison of its constructed normal value and its export prices to the Union indicated that the dumping margin was substantially lower than the current level of measure. Therefore, it claimed that the continued application of the measure at its current level was no longer necessary to offset dumping.1.3.   Initiation of a partial interim review(4) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an interim review, the Commission decided to initiate a partial interim review in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, limited in scope to the examination of dumping as far as Silmak is concerned. The Commission published a notice of initiation on 22 April 2009 in the Official Journal of the European Union (3) and commenced an investigation.1.4.   Product concerned and like product(5) The product concerned by the interim review is the same as that in the original investigation, i.e. a ferro-alloy containing by weight more than 8 % and less than 96 % silicon and at least 4 % iron. Production of FeSi takes place in electric arc furnaces by means of reducing quartz using carbon-bearing products. The product is essentially used as a deoxidiser and as an alloying component in the iron and steel industry. FeSi is sold in the form of lumps, grains or powder and exists in various qualities depending on the silicon and the impurity content (e.g. aluminium). FeSi with a silicon content of 70 % and higher was considered as high purity, with a silicon content of more than 55 % and less than 70 % as medium purity, and with a silicon content of less than 55 % as low purity FeSi. The product concerned currently falls within CN codes 7202 21 00, 7202 29 10. and 7202 29 90.(6) The product produced and sold in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and that exported to the Union have the same basic physical, technical and chemical characteristics and uses and are therefore considered to be alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.1.5.   Parties concerned(7) The Commission officially advised the Union industry, the applicant and the authorities of the exporting country of the initiation of the interim review. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation. All interested parties, who so requested and showed that there were particular reasons why they should be heard, were granted a hearing.(8) The Commission sent a questionnaire to the applicant and received a reply within the deadline set for that purpose. The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the determination of dumping, and a verification visit was carried out at the premises of the applicant:— Silmak Dooel Export-Import, Jegunovice, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.1.6.   Investigation period(9) The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008 (‘the investigation period’ or ‘IP’).2.   RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION2.1.   Normal value(10) In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission first examined whether the applicant's domestic sales of the like product to independent customers were representative, i.e. whether the total volume of such sales was equal to at least 5 % of the total volume of the corresponding export sales to the Union.(11) As the investigation established that there were no representative domestic sales of the like product in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, normal value had to be constructed. In accordance with Article 2(3) of the basic Regulation, normal value was constructed by adding to the manufacturing costs of the exported types a reasonable amount for selling, general and administrative expenses (‘SG&A’) and a reasonable profit margin.(12) In order to establish whether the applicant's own SG&A and profit margin realised on the domestic sales of the like product could be used, the Commission subsequently examined whether there were any domestic sales of FeSi in the IP which could be regarded as having been made in the ordinary course of trade, pursuant to Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation. It was found that the company had few profitable domestic sales transactions during the IP, corresponding to very small quantities. The company claimed that these transactions concerned trial product types which could not therefore be considered to be in the ordinary course of trade. The claim was examined and accepted.(13) Based on the above analysis, it was concluded that the applicant did not have any domestic sales of the like product in the ordinary course of trade during the IP. Thus, pursuant to point (c) of Article 2(6) it was considered reasonable, when constructing the normal value, to follow the same method as that applied in the original investigation. As a consequence, the weighted average SG&A incurred by the Egyptian producers in the original investigation, because of their comparable production and sales structures, and a profit margin of 5 % which was considered a reasonable profit for this type of commodity market, were added to the cost of manufacturing of the applicant.2.2.   Export price(14) Since all export sales of the applicant to the Union were made directly to independent customers, the export prices were established on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the product concerned in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation.2.3.   Comparison(15) The comparison between the weighted average normal value and the weighted average export price was made on an ex-works basis and at the same level of trade. In order to ensure a fair comparison between normal value and export price, account was taken, in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, of differences in factors which were demonstrated to affect prices and price comparability. For this purpose, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for costs of freight and insurance, handling, packing and ancillary expenses, financial costs, bank charges and anti-dumping duties paid by the applicant where applicable and justified.2.4.   Dumping margin(16) As provided for under Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value by type was compared with the weighted average export price of the corresponding type of the product concerned. This comparison did not show the existence of dumping.3.   LASTING NATURE OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES(17) In accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, it was also examined whether the changed circumstances could reasonably be considered to be of a lasting nature.(18) In this regard, the investigation showed that Silmak had made substantial efforts to change the structure of its production towards higher grade product types (with a silicon content of 75 % or higher) resulting in an increase in its export prices, which was on average higher than the increase in the costs.(19) The applicant provided full cooperation in this interim review and the data collected and verified allowed to establish a dumping margin based on its own data, including individual export prices to the Union. The result of this calculation indicates that the continued application of the measure at its current level would no longer be justified.(20) Evidence obtained and verified during the investigation also showed that the changes in the applicant's production structure are to be considered lasting. No element emerged in the course of the investigation that would suggest otherwise. It was therefore considered that the circumstances that led to the initiation of this interim review are unlikely to change in the foreseeable future in a manner that would affect the findings of the interim review. Therefore, it was concluded that the changed circumstances are of a lasting nature.4.   ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES(21) It is noted that the comparison of the applicant's export data with Eurostat showed that the company's export quantity of the product concerned in the IP corresponded to the total quantity of the product concerned imported into the Union from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia during the same period.(22) In the light of the results of this review investigation, it is considered appropriate to repeal the anti-dumping duty applicable to imports of the product concerned originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.(23) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the repeal of the measure imposed by Regulation (EC) No 172/2008 and were given an opportunity to comment. No comments were received from the interested parties,. The partial interim review of the antidumping measures applicable to imports of ferro-silicon, currently falling within CN codes 7202 21 00, 7202 29 10 and 7202 29 90, originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, initiated pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, is hereby terminated and the measure in force on imports originating in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is repealed.

Infections with avian influenza viruses in domestic poultry cause two main forms of that disease that are distinguished by their virulence. The low pathogenic form generally only causes mild symptoms, while the highly pathogenic form results in very high mortality rates in most poultry species. That disease may have a severe impact on the profitability of poultry farming.(2) Avian influenza is mainly found in birds, but under certain circumstances infections can also occur in humans even though the risk is generally very low.(3) In the event of an outbreak of avian influenza, there is a risk that the disease agent might spread to other holdings where poultry or other captive birds are kept. As a result it may spread from one Member State to other Member States or to third countries through trade in live birds or their products.(4) Council Directive 2005/94/EC (3) sets out certain preventive measures relating to the surveillance and the early detection of avian influenza and the minimum control measures to be applied in the event of an outbreak of that disease in poultry or other captive birds. That Directive provides for the establishment of protection and surveillance zones in the event of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza.(5) Council Directive 2009/158/EC (4) lays down rules for trade within the Union in those commodities, including the veterinary certificates to be used.(6) Following the notification by Italy of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H7N7 in a holding in the commune of Ostellato, in the province of Ferrara in the Region Emilia-Romagna on 15 August 2013, the Commission adopted Implementing Decision 2013/439/EU (5), that lays down provisions for protection and surveillance zones to be established around the outbreak.(7) On 21 August 2013 Italy notified the occurrence of a second outbreak of disease in the commune of Mordano in the province of Bologna and on 23 August 2013 of a third outbreak of disease in the commune of Portomaggiore in the province of Ferrara, both in the Region Emilia-Romagna and it immediately took the measures required pursuant to Directive 2005/94/EC, including the establishment of protection, surveillance and further restricted zones, which should be defined in Parts A, B and C of the Annex to this Decision.(8) The Commission has examined those measures in collaboration with Italy, and it is satisfied that the borders of those zones established by the competent authority in that Member State are at a sufficient distance to the actual holding where the outbreak was confirmed.(9) In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade being imposed by third countries, it is necessary to rapidly define those zones established in Italy at Union level and to provide that no consignments of live poultry, ready-to-lay poultry, day-old chicks and hatching eggs are dispatched from those zones to other Member States or to third countries.(10) Day-old chicks present a negligible risk for the spread of the disease provided that in accordance with the provisions of Article 30(c)(iii) second subparagraph of the Directive 2005/94/EC they have hatched from hatching eggs originating from poultry holdings located outside the protection and surveillance zones and the hatchery of dispatch can ensure by its logistics and by its biosecurity working conditions that no contact has occurred between those eggs and any other hatching eggs or day-old chicks originating from poultry flocks within the established protection or surveillance zones and which are therefore of a different health status.(11) Hatching eggs equally present a negligible risk for the spread of the disease provided that in accordance with the provisions of Article 30(c)(iv) of Directive 2005/94/EC they originate from holdings located outside the protection and surveillance zones and their packaging is disinfected before dispatch to a designated hatchery.(12) It is therefore appropriate that the competent authority of Italy may authorise the dispatch of consignments of day-old chicks and hatching eggs from the further restricted zones defined in this Decision according to the requirements laid down in Directive 2005/94/EC provided that Italy gives written notification in advance and the Member State or third country of destination confirms its prior agreement to receive these consignments.(13) In order to verify compliance with the provisions of this Decision, it is appropriate that the veterinary certificates provided for in Directive 2009/158/EC include a reference to that effect.(14) For the sake of clarity, Implementing Decision 2013/439/EU should be repealed.(15) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Italy shall ensure that the protection, surveillance and further restricted zones established in accordance with Article 16(1) and (4) of Directive 2005/94/EC comprise at least the areas listed in Parts A, B and C of the Annex to this Decision. 1.   Italy shall ensure that no consignments of live poultry, ready to-lay-poultry, day-old chicks and hatching eggs are dispatched from the zones listed in Parts A, B and C of the Annex to other Member States or third countries.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the competent authority of Italy may authorise the dispatch of consignments of day-old chicks and hatching eggs from the zones listed in Part C of the Annex to other Member States or third countries provided that:(a) the measures laid down in Article 30(c)(iii) second subparagraph and (iv) of Directive 2005/94/EC are applied;(b) the competent authority of the Member State or third country of destination is given written notification in advance and undertakes to receive the consignments of the day-old chicks and hatching eggs and notify their date of arrival at the holding of destination on its territory to the competent authority of Italy.3.   Italy shall ensure that the veterinary certificates accompanying the consignments referred to in paragraph 2 to be dispatched to other Member States include the words:‘The consignment complies with the animal health conditions laid down in Commission Implementing Decision 2013/443/EU (6).

The coefficient is to express the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.(2) According to the information provided by the United Kingdom in respect of the period 1 January to 31 December 2009, the average ageing period for Scotch whisky in 2009 was 7 years.(3) The coefficients for the period 1 October 2010 to 30 September 2011 should therefore be fixed accordingly.(4) Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area excludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Union has concluded agreements abolishing export refunds with certain third countries.

There is a risk that the disease agent might be spread through international trade in live poultry and other birds or their products.(2) On 29 June 2006, South Africa confirmed an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in a ratite farm in the Western Cape Province.(3) The avian influenza virus strain detected during that outbreak is of subtype H5N2 and therefore different from the strain currently causing the epidemic in Asia, Northern Africa and Europe. Current knowledge suggests that the risk for public health in relation to that subtype is inferior to the risk from the strain circulating in Asia, which is an H5N1 virus subtype.(4) Under current Community legislation, South Africa is only authorised to export to the Community live ratites and their hatching eggs and fresh meat and meat preparations and products containing meat of those species.(5) In view of the animal health risk of the introduction of highly pathogenic avian influenza into the Community, it is appropriate as an immediate measure to suspend imports of live ratites and hatching eggs of these species from South Africa.(6) In addition, it is appropriate to suspend imports into the Community from South Africa of fresh meat of ratites and meat preparations and meat products consisting of or containing meat of those species. However, taking into account the fact that the disease was introduced on the affected farms in mid-June, it is appropriate to provide for a derogation for fresh meat and meat preparations and meat products consisting of or containing meat from such species slaughtered before 1 May 2006 subject to certain conditions.(7) South Africa has applied strict disease control measures and has sent further information on the disease situation to the Commission which justify limiting the suspension of imports to the affected part of the territory of South Africa.(8) Commission Decision 2005/432/EC of 3 June 2005 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of meat products for human consumption from third countries and repealing Decisions 97/41/EC, 97/221/EC and 97/222/EC (3) lays down the list of third countries from which Member States may authorise the importation of certain meat products and establishes treatment regimes considered effective in inactivating the pathogens of certain animal diseases. In order to prevent the risk of disease transmission via such products, appropriate treatment must be applied depending on the health status of the country of origin and the species the product is obtained from. It is therefore appropriate that imports of meat products and meat preparations consisting of or containing meat of ratites originating in South Africa and subjected to an appropriate treatment provided for in that Decision should continue to be authorised.(9) As soon as South Africa has communicated further information on the disease situation concerning highly pathogenic avian influenza and the control measures taken in that respect, the measures taken at Community level in relation to the recent outbreak in South Africa should be reviewed. Accordingly, this Decision should only apply until 31 October 2006.(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,. Member States shall suspend imports, from that part of the territory of South Africa referred to in the Annex to this Decision, of:(a) live ratites and hatching eggs of ratites;(b) fresh meat of ratites;(c) meat products and meat preparations consisting of or containing meat of ratites. 1.   By way of derogation from points (b) and (c) of Article 1, Member States shall authorise the importation of fresh meat, meat products and meat preparations referred to in those points which have been obtained from birds slaughtered before 1 May 2006.2.   In the veterinary certificates accompanying consignments of the meat, meat products and meat preparations referred to in paragraph 1 the following words shall be included:‘Fresh ratite meat/meat products consisting of or containing meat of ratites/meat preparations consisting of or containing meat of ratites (4) obtained from birds slaughtered before 1 May 2006 in accordance with Article 2(1) of Commission Decision 2006/532/EC.3.   By way of derogation from point (c) of Article 1, Member States shall authorise the importation of meat products and meat preparations consisting of or containing meat of ratites provided that the meat has undergone at least one of the specific treatments referred to under points B, C or D in Part 4 of Annex II to Decision 2005/432/EC. The Member States shall immediately take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision and publish those measures. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.

The derogation was granted because:(a) the Dutch legislation implementing Directive 91/676/EEC included application standards both for nitrogen and phosphate and application standards related to phosphate aimed to achieve an equilibrium in phosphate fertilisation by 2015;(b) the Netherlands addressed the issue of nutrient surplus from manure and mineral fertilisers through several policy instruments and in the period 1992 to 2002 decreased cattle numbers by 17 %, pigs by 14 % and sheep and goats by 21 %. Nitrogen and phosphorus in manure decreased respectively by 29 and 34 % in the period 1985 to 2002. Nitrogen and phosphorus surpluses decreased respectively by 25 and 37 %, in the period 1992 to 2002;(c) the available water quality data showed a downwards trend in groundwater nitrate concentration and in nutrient concentration (including phosphorus) in surface water;(d) the technical and scientific documents presented in the Dutch notification showed that the proposed amount of 250 kg per hectare per year nitrogen from cattle manure in farms with at least 70 % grassland was compatible with the achievement of the level of 11,3 mg/l N (corresponding to 50 mg/l NO3) in water in all soil types, and to approximately a zero phosphorus surplus, under conditions of optimal management;(e) the technical and scientific documents presented showed that the proposed amount of 250 kg per hectare per year nitrogen from cattle manure in farms with at least 70 % grassland was justified on the basis of objective criteria such as long growing season and crops with high nitrogen uptake.(3) The Commission considered therefore that the amount of manure requested by the Netherlands would not prejudice the achievement of the objectives of Directive 91/676/EEC, subject to certain strict conditions being met. These conditions included the establishment of fertiliser plans on a farm by farm basis, the recording of fertiliser practices through fertiliser accounts, periodic soil analysis, green cover in winter after maize, specific provisions on grass ploughing, no manure application before grass ploughing and adjustment of fertilisation to take into account the contribution of leguminous crops. These provisions were aimed at ensuring fertilisation based on crop needs and reduction and prevention of nitrogen losses to water.(4) In order to avoid that the application of the 2006-2009 derogation granted by Decision 2005/880/EC would lead to intensification, the competent authorities were compelled to ensure that manure production both in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus would not increase beyond the level of the year 2002 in accordance with the Dutch third national action programme.(5) The Netherlands have communicated the maps and reports referred to in Article 8 and Article 10 of Decision 2005/880/EC in time.(6) On 14 July 2009 the Netherlands submitted to the Commission a request for an extension of the derogation. The request referred to a detailed justification and to the approval of fourth Nitrates Action Programme (2010-2013) by the Dutch House of Representatives. This fourth action programme indicates the (considerable) progress made in line with the conditions of the 2006-2009 derogation and the challenges ahead. It builds further on the third action programme and contains reinforced measures including stricter nitrogen application standards on sandy soils; stricter phosphorus application standards based on the soil phosphorus status and longer closed periods for land application of fertilisers (3). These legal measures aim at a further reduction of nutrient surplus and further improvement of water quality, if need be by further reinforced action beyond the period 2010-2013.(7) Water quality shows a further downward trend in groundwater nitrate concentration and in nutrient concentration (including phosphorus) in surface water with main effects of the third action programme still to be expected in the upcoming years.(8) Results of monitoring and controls show that, in the period 2006-2009 approximately 24 000 grassland farms corresponding to approximately 830 000 ha of cultivated land were encompassed by the derogation.(9) In order to avoid that the application of the requested derogation leads to intensification, the competent authorities should continue to ensure that manure production both in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus does not increase the level of the year 2002.(10) The results achieved so far by the Netherlands are in line with the conditions set out in Decision 2005/880/EC.(11) The necessary legal framework for implementing Directive 91/676/EEC and executing the fourth action programme has been adopted and applies equally to the requested derogation.(12) Given the measures the Netherlands have committed themselves to in the action programme for the period 2010-2013 the Commission considers that the amount of manure requested by the Netherlands for the period 2010-2013 would not prejudice the achievement of the objectives of Directive 91/676/EEC if the same strict conditions established by Decision 2005/880/EC are met.(13) Decision 2005/880/EC expires on 31 December 2009.(14) For the purpose of ensuring that the cattle farms concerned may continue to benefit from a derogation, it is appropriate to extend the validity of Decision 2005/880/EC to 31 December 2013 under the same conditions as those set out in articles 4 to 10 of Decision 2005/880/EC.(15) The deadline for reporting to the Commission, set by Article 10 of Decision 2005/880/EC, should however be adapted and aligned with the deadline for reporting obligations under article 8 of Decision 2005/880/EC.(16) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Nitrates Committee set up pursuant to Article 9 of Directive 91/676/EEC,. Decision 2005/880/EC is amended as follows:1. Article 1 is replaced by the following:2. Article 10, paragraph 1, second subparagraph is replaced by the following:3.

the request submitted by Germany on 2 May 1997, which was received by the Commission on 12 May 1997, was accompanied by a report containing the information required by Article 8 (2) (c); whereas the request concerns one type of gas discharge lamp for one type of headlamp for one type of motor vehicle;Whereas the information provided by Germany shows that the technology and principle embodied in this new type of gas discharge lamp and headlamp do not meet the requirements of Community regulations; whereas, however, the descriptions of the tests, the results thereof and the action taken in order to ensure road safety are satisfactory and ensure a level of safety equivalent to that of the lamps and headlamps covered by the requirements of the Directives in force and, in particular, of Council Directive 76/761/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to motor-vehicle headlamps which function as main-beam and/or dipped-beam headlamps and to

vehicle concerned is equipped with an automatic headlamp levelling system, a headlamp cleaning device and a system guaranteeing that dipped-beam headlamps are lit even if the main-beam headlamps are

Consequently that zone should be extended, taking into account of the data available on the ecology of the vector and the current meteorological situation.(4) On 21 November 2006 Germany informed the Commission of new outbreaks of bluetongue in Lower Saxony. In view of those findings, it is appropriate to amend the demarcation of the restricted zone in Germany.(5) Following the notification of outbreaks of bluetongue in early November 2006 by Italy, due to a new serotype, by Decision 2006/858/EC, a new restricted zone G has been added to Annex I to Decision 2005/393/EC to include the three concerned provinces of southern Sardinia. However, the reference to this zone in the respective provisions of Decision 2005/393/EC has not been added. Therefore, for the sake of clarity, the list of zones referred to in Article 2 of Decision 2005/393/EC should be completed.(6) Decision 2005/393/EC should 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 2005/393/EC is amended as follows:1. The first paragraph of Article 2 is replaced by the following:2. Annex I is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.

The provisional maximum residue limits for that substance set out for ovine and caprine species, applicable to muscle, fat, liver, kidney and milk expired on 1 July 2014.(4) The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) recommended an extension of the provisional MRL as the analytical method for monitoring residues in ovine and caprine species is not sufficiently validated. The incomplete scientific data on the validation of the analytical method is not considered to constitute a hazard to human health.(5) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species. The CVMP concluded that the extrapolation to other food producing species cannot be supported for this substance.(6) The entry for eprinomectin in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to extend the provisional MRL to 30 June 2016.(7) It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with the newly set MRL.(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,.

Pursuant to Article 3a of that Decision, Member States may obtain a Community financial contribution towards the costs of certain measures to eradicate avian influenza.(2) Article 3a(3) of Decision 90/424/EEC lays down rules on the percentage of the costs incurred by Member States that may be covered by the Community’s financial contribution.(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (2), following the amendment of Decision 90/424/EEC by Council Decision 2006/53/EC (3), no longer covers avian influenza. It is therefore necessary to expressly provide in the present Decision that the granting of a Community financial contribution to Germany is subject to compliance with certain rules laid down in that Regulation.(4) Outbreaks of avian influenza occurred in Germany in 2007. The emergence of that disease represents a serious risk to the Community’s livestock population. Germany took the measures, as referred to in Article 3a(2) of Decision 90/424/EEC, to combat those outbreaks.(5) Germany has fully complied with its technical and administrative obligations as set out in Articles 3(3) and 3a(2) of Decision 90/424/EEC and Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005.(6) Germany submitted to the Commission information on the costs incurred on 30 August 2007, and has continued to provide all necessary information on costs of compensation and operational expenditure.(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,.

This code is given for information only.(4) The product under investigation is silicon consigned from the Republic of Korea (the product under investigation) normally declared under the same code as the product concerned.C.   EXISTING MEASURES(5) The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are antidumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 398/2004 (2).D.   GROUNDS(6) The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of silicon originating in the People’s Republic of China are being circumvented by means of the transhipment via Republic of Korea of silicon.(7) The evidence submitted is as follows:E.   PROCEDURE(8) In the light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation and to make imports of silicon consigned from the Republic of Korea, whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.(a)   Questionnaires(9) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in the Republic of Korea, to the exporters/producers and to the associations of exporters/producers in the People’s Republic of China, to the importers and to the associations of importers in the Community which cooperated in the investigation that led to the existing measures and to the authorities of the People’s Republic of China and Republic of Korea. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Community industry.(10) In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than the time-limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation in order to find out whether they are listed in the request and, if necessary, request a questionnaire within the time-limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.(11) The authorities of the People's Republic of China and Republic of Korea will be notified of the initiation of the investigation.(b)   Collection of information and holding of hearings(12) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.(c)   Exemption of imports from registration or measures(13) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if such importation does not constitute circumvention.(14) Since the possible circumvention takes place outside the Community, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers of the product concerned that can show that they are not related to any producer subject to the measures and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Article 13(1) and 13(2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time-limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.F.   REGISTRATION(15) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied retroactively from the date of registration of such imports consigned from the Republic of Korea.G.   TIME-LIMITS(16) In the interest of sound administration, time-limits should be stated within which:— interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,— producers in the Republic of Korea may request exemption of imports from registration or measures,— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.(17) Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party’s making itself known within the time-limits mentioned in Article 3 of this Regulation.H.   NON-COOPERATION(18) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time-limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, provisional or final findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.(19) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated,. An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96, in order to determine if imports into the Community of silicon consigned from the Republic of Korea whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not, falling within CN code ex 2804 69 00 (TARIC code 2804690010), are circumventing the measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 398/2004. The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Community identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.The Commission, by Regulation, may direct customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Community of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found not to be circumventing the anti-dumping duties. 1.   Questionnaires should be requested from the Commission within 15 days of the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.2.   Interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 40 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.3.   Producers in the Republic of Korea requesting exemption of imports from registration or measures should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 40-day time-limit.4.   Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 40-day time-limit.5.   Any information relating to the matter, any request for a hearing or for a questionnaire as well as any request for exemption of imports from registration or measures must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified) and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the interested party.

Through that measure, those taxable persons would continue to be exempted from certain or all of the obligations in relation to VAT referred to in Chapters 2 to 6 of Title XI of Directive 2006/112/EC.(2) The Commission informed the other Member States by letter dated 11 January 2010 of the request made by Italy. By letter dated 12 January 2010, the Commission notified Italy that it had all the information necessary to consider the request.(3) A special scheme for small enterprises is available to Member States under Title XII of Directive 2006/112/EC. The measure to be extended derogates from Article 285 of that Directive in its application to Italy only in so far as the annual turnover threshold for the scheme is higher than the EUR 5 000 threshold.(4) By Council Decision 2008/737/EC of 15 September 2008 authorising the Italian Republic to apply a measure derogating from Article 285 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax (2), Italy was authorised, as a derogating measure, to exempt from VAT taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than EUR 30 000 until 31 December 2010. Given that this higher threshold has resulted in reduced VAT obligations for the smallest businesses, whilst the latter may still opt for the normal VAT arrangements in accordance with Article 290 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Italy should be authorised to apply the measure for a further limited period.(5) In its proposal of 29 October 2004 for a Council Directive amending Directive 77/388/EEC with a view to simplifying value added tax obligations, the Commission included provisions aimed at allowing Member States to set the annual turnover ceiling for the VAT exemption scheme at up to EUR 100 000 or the equivalent in national currency, with the possibility of updating that amount each year. The extension request submitted by Italy is compatible with that proposal.(6) From information provided by Italy, the measure has led to an estimated reduction of the overall amount of tax revenue collected at the final stage of consumption of less than 0,2 %.(7) The derogation has no impact on the Union’s own resources accruing from VAT,. By way of derogation from Article 285 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Italy is authorised to exempt from VAT taxable persons whose annual turnover is no higher than EUR 30 000.Italy may raise that ceiling in order to maintain the value of the exemption in real terms. This Decision shall take effect on the day of its notification.This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2011 until the date of entry into force of a Directive amending the amounts of the annual turnover ceilings below which taxable persons may be exempted from VAT, or until 31 December 2013, whichever date is the earlier.

whereas, to this end, the supply situation and prices for those products within the Community and the price situation on the world market must be taken into account;Whereas the difference between prices within the Community and prices on the world market for the quantity of feed grain required for the production of one kilogramme of pigmeat must also be taken into account ; whereas for products other than pig carcases the coefficients referred to in Article 10 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 should be taken into account;Whereas if price trends are to be noted, prices must be determined in accordance with general principles ; whereas, to this end, prices on third country markets and in countries of destination, producer prices recorded in third countries and free-at-Community-frontier prices should be taken into account when prices on the world market are being determined ; whereas, in the absence of representative markets for pigmeat products, prices ruling at the various marketing stages and on exportation should be used as a basis in determining Community prices;Whereas provision must be made for varying the amount of the refund according to the destination of the products, since markets in the countries of destination are at varying distances from Community markets and special conditions apply to imports in certain countries of destination;Whereas, to give Community exporters a measure of stability as regards the amount of the refund and certainty with regard to the list of products eligible for a refund, provision should be made for such list and amounts to remain valid for a relatively long period ; whereas rules should also be laid down governing the advance fixing of the export refunds;Whereas it is necessary to fix refunds in advance only in certain cases ; whereas any decision to do so should be taken in accordance with Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75;Whereas the possibility of fixing refunds in advance makes it necessary to take steps to ensure that in every case exportation is carried out as stated in the application ; whereas to that end each applicant should receive a certificate requiring the goods in question to be exported within a given period;Whereas in order to avoid abuse the issue of such certificates should be conditional upon the provision of security, which should be forfeited if the goods are not exported within the period of validity of the certificates;Whereas experience gained in the various sectors where a common organization of the market has been established and in which there is provision for advance fixing of the refund has shown that in certain circumstances, and in particular where exporters have abnormal recourse to this system, there is a risk of difficulties arising on the market concerned;Whereas in order to remedy such a situation it must be possible for measures to be taken rapidly ; whereas provision should therefore be made for the Commission to adopt such measures after receiving the Opinion of the Management Committee or, in cases of urgency, without waiting for the latter to meet; (1)See page 1 of this Official Journal.Whereas, to avoid distortions of competition between individual Community traders, the administrative conditions under which they operate must be identical throughout the Community ; whereas there does not appear to be any justification for granting a refund where the products in question are imported from third countries and re-exported to third countries ; whereas the reimbursement, under certain conditions, of the levy charged on importation is sufficient to allow these products to be placed on the world market again,. This Regulation lays down rules for fixing and granting export refunds on the products specified in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75. The following shall be taken into account when refunds are being fixed: (a) the existing situation and the future trend with regard to: - prices and availabilities of pigmeat products on the Community market,- prices for pigmeat products on the world market;(b) the need to avoid disturbances which might lead to a prolonged imbalance between supply and demand on the Community market ; and(c) the economic aspect of the proposed exports.When the refund on the products specified in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 is being calculated, account shall also be taken of the difference between prices within the Community and prices on the world market for the quantity of feed grain determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 (1) (a) of that Regulation, the coefficients referred to in Article 10 (4) of that Regulation also being taken into account in the case of products other than pig carcases. 1. The following shall be taken into account when the price on the Community market is being determined: (a) prices ruling at the various marketing stages in the Community;(b) prices ruling on exportation.2. The following shall be taken into account when the price on the world market is being determined: (a) prices ruling on third country markets;(b) the most favourable import prices in third countries of destination for third country imports;(c) producer prices recorded in exporting third countries, account being taken of any subsidies granted by those countries ; and(d) free-at-Community-frontier offer prices. Where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary, the refund for the Community may in the case of the products specified in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 be varied according to destination. 1. The list of products on which an export refund is granted and the amount of such refund shall be fixed at least once every three months.2. The amount of the refund shall be that applicable on the day of exportation.3. However, it may be decided that the refund shall, upon request, be fixed in advance. In that case, where the applicant so requests when lodging an application for a certificate of advance fixing as provided for in Article 6, the export refund applicable on the day when he lodges such application shall apply to an export operation carried out at any time during the period of validity of the said certificate.4. Where examination of the market situation shows that there are difficulties due to the application of the provison concerning the advance fixing of the export refund, or that such difficulties may occur, a decision may be taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 to suspend for no longer than is strictly necessary the application of these provisions.In cases of extreme urgency, the Commission may, after examination of the situation, decide on the basis of all the information available to it to suspend advance fixing for a maximum of three working days.Applications for certificates of advance fixing lodged during the period of suspension shall be rejected. 1. The granting of the refund under the conditions laid down in Article 5 (3) shall be conditional on the presentation of a certificate of advance fixing, which shall be issued by Member States to any applicant irrespective of his place of establishment in the Community.Such certificates shall be valid throughout the Community.2. The issue of a certificate of advance fixing shall be conditional upon the provision of security guaranteeing that the exportation will be carried out within the period of validity of the certificate. If the operation is not carried out, or only partially carried out, within that period, the security shall be wholly or partially forfeit. 1. The refund shall be paid upon proof: - that the products concerned have been exported from the Community, and- except where Article 8 applies, that such products are of Community origin.2. Where Article 4 applies, the refund shall be paid under the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, provided it is proved that the product has reached the destination for which the refund was fixed.Exceptions may be made to this rule in accordance with the procedure referred to in paragraph 3, provided conditions are laid down which offer equivalent guarantees.3. Additional provisions may be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75. No export refund shall be granted on products specified in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 which are imported from third countries and re-exported to third countries, unless the exporter proves: - that the product to be exported and the product previously imported are one and the same, and- that the levy was charged on importation.In such cases the refund on each product shall be equal to the levy charged on importation or the refund applicable on the day of exportation, whichever is the lower. 1. Council Regulation No 177/67/EEC (1) of 27 June 1967 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on pigmeat and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2686/72 (2), is hereby repealed.2.

As permitted by Article 40(2) 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)(2), the draft includes rural development measures other than those referred to in Article 35(1) of the Regulation. It also includes the information listed in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, in particular a description of the priorities selected and an indication of the financial contribution from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF) and the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF), Guarantee Section.(5) The date of submission of the draft which was considered acceptable by the Commission constitutes the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible. Under Article 52(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, as an acceptable plan was submitted between 1 January and 30 April 2000 the date from which expenditure under the plan is eligible is 1 January 2000 in the case of the Structural Funds; in the case of the EAGGF Guarantee Section, Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2603/1999(3) provides that the expenditure is eligible only if it has actually been paid to the beneficiary after the date of submission of the programme. Under Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, it is necessary to lay down the final date for the eligibility of expenditure.(6) The rural development measures to be financed by the EAGGF Guarantee Section are governed, in particular as regards their compatibility and consistency with common agricultural policy measures, by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999.(7) The single programming document has been drawn up in agreement with the Member State concerned and within the partnership.(8) The Commission has satisfied itself that the single programming document is in accordance with the principle of additionality.(9) Under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Commission and the Member State are required to ensure, in a manner consistent with the principle of partnership, coordination between assistance from the Funds and from the EIB and other existing financial instruments.(10) The EIB has been involved in drawing up the single programming document in accordance with the provisions of Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and has declared itself prepared to contribute to its implementation in conformity with its statutory provisions.(11) The financial contribution from the Community available over the entire period and its year-by-year breakdown are expressed in euro. The annual breakdown should be consistent with the relevant financial perspective. Under Article 7(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the Community contribution has already been indexed at a rate of 2 % per year. Under Article 7(7) and Article 44(2) of the Regulation, the Community contribution may be reviewed at mid-term, and not later than 31 March 2004, to take account of the effective level of inflation and the allocation of the performance reserve.(12) Provision should be made for adapting the financial allocations of the priorities of this single programming document within certain limits to actual requirements reflected by the pattern of implementation on the ground, in agreement with the Member State concerned,. The single programming document for Community structural assistance in the region of Alsace in France eligible under Objective 2 and qualifying for transitional support under Objectives 2 and 5(b) for the period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2006 is hereby approved. 1. In accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999, the single programming document includes the following elements:(a) the strategy and priorities for the joint action of the Structural Funds and the Member State; their specific quantified targets; the ex-ante evaluation of the expected impact, including on the environmental situation, and the consistency of the priorities with the economic, social and regional policies and the employment strategy of France. The priorities are as follows:1. implementing measures for the whole of the eligible area;2. supporting territorial approaches;3. developing human resources;4. rural development;5. technical assistance;(b) a summary description of the measures planned to implement the priorities, including the information needed to check compliance with the State aid rules under Article 87 of the Treaty;(c) the indicative financing plan specifying for each priority and each year the financial allocation envisaged for the contribution from each Fund and the other financial instruments, including the total amount from the EAGGF Guarantee Section and indicating separately the funding planned for the regions receiving transitional support in respect of Objectives 2 and 5(b) and the total amounts of eligible public or equivalent expenditure and estimated private funding in the Member State. The total contribution from the Funds planned for each year for the single programming document is consistent with the relevant financial perspective;(d) the provisions for implementing the single programming document including designation of the managing authority, a description of the arrangements for managing the single programming document and the use to be made of global grants, a description of the systems for monitoring and evaluation, including the role of the Monitoring Committee and the arrangements for the participation of the partners in that Committee;(e) the ex-ante verification of compliance with additionality and information on the transparency of financial flows.2. The indicative financing plan puts the total cost of the priorities selected for the joint action by the Community and the Member State at EUR 340271767 for the whole period, the financial contribution from the Structural Funds at EUR 93404232 and that from the EAGGF Guarantee Section at EUR 16284000.The resulting requirement for national resources of EUR 115034326 from the public sector and EUR 115549209 from the private sector can be partly met by Community loans from the European Investment Bank and other lending instruments.3. The rate of part-financing by the EAGGF Guarantee Section for each rural development measure is given in the single programming document. The rate of part-financing by the EAGGF at the level of the sub-measure or action is given in the programme complement provided for in Article 19(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 and shall be valid for at least one financial year. 1. The total assistance from the Structural Funds granted under the single programming document amounts to EUR 93404232, to which the EAGGF Guarantee Section will contribute a further EUR 16284000.The procedure for granting the financial assistance, including the financial contribution from the Funds for the various priorities included in the single programming document, is set out in the financing plan annexed to this Decision.2.>TABLE>3. During implementation of the financing plan, the total cost or Community financing of a given priority may be adjusted in agreement with the Member State by up to 25 % of the total Community contribution to the single programming document throughout the programme period, up to a maximum of EUR 30 million, without altering the total Community contribution referred to in paragraph 1. This Decision is without prejudice to the Commission's position on aid schemes falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty that are included in this assistance and which it has not yet approved. Submission of the application for assistance, the programme complement or a request for payment by the Member State does not replace the notification required by Article 88(3) of the Treaty.Community financing of State aid falling within Article 87(1) of the Treaty, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, requires prior approval by the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty, except where the aid falls under the de minimis rule or is exempted under an exemption regulation adopted by the Commission under Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 of 7 May 1998 on the application of Articles 92 and 93 (now 87 and 88) to certain categories of horizontal State aid(4). In the absence of such exemption or approval, aid is illegal and subject to the consequences set out in the procedural regulation for State aid, and its part-financing would be treated as an irregularity within the meaning of Articles 38 and 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999.Consequently, the Commission will not accept requests for interim and final payments under Article 32 of the Regulation for measures being part-financed with new or altered aid, as defined in the procedural regulation for State aid, granted under aid schemes or in individual cases, until such aid has been notified to and formally approved by the Commission.By way of derogation from the preceding paragraphs, Articles 51 and 52 of Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 shall apply in the context of rural development part-financed by the EAGGF. The date from which expenditure shall be eligible is 1 January 2000 for the Structural Funds and 28 April 2000 for the EAGGF Guarantee Section.The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure shall be 31 December 2008. This date is extended to 30 April 2009 for expenditure incurred by bodies granting assistance under Article 9(l) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. The closing date for the eligibility of expenditure in the area receiving transitional support shall be 31 December 2007.The final date for the EAGGF Guarantee Section to take account of payments made by the paying bodies under this programming document shall be 31 December 2006.

The Commission may implement an anti-poverty programme in order to combat poverty more effectively and carry out positive measures to help the under-privileged and identify the best means of attacking the causes of poverty and alleviating its effects in the Community. To this end, the Commission may:(a) promote or provide financial assistance for various types of action-research measures:- designed to test and develop new methods of helping persons beset by, or threatened with, poverty in the Community,- drawn up and carried out as far as possible with the participation of the persons concerned, and- of particular interest to the Community in that they are addressed to problems common to several Member States;(b) promote or provide financial assistance for the dissemination and exchange of knowledge, the coordination and assessment of anti-poverty measures, and the transfer of innovative approaches between Member States;(c) promote or provide financial assistance for collection and dissemination on a regular basis of comparable data on poverty in the Community.2. For the purposes of this Decision 'the poor' shall be taken to mean persons, families and groups of persons whose resources (material, cultural and social) are so limited as to exclude them from the minimum acceptable way of life in the Member States in which they live. The funds estimated as necessary to implement the measures referred to in Article 1 amount to 25 million ECU for four years (1985 to 1988).Financial support may be granted, in the framework of the appropriations entered annually for this purpose in the general budget of the European Communities, for:(a) action-research projects, up to 50 % of actual expenditure within the limits of assistance requested and approved. However, in exceptional cases, and notably those occurring in particularly underprivileged regions, this limit may be raised to 55 %;(b) other types of activity, if such activities are of exceptional interest for all or part of the Community, in excess of 50 % of actual expenditure within the limits of assistance requested and approved. 1. Applications for Community financial assistance shall be approved and forwarded to the Commission by the Member State or States on whose territory the projects are to be carried out.2. The Commission shall inform the Member States of its decision to grant or refuse the financial assistance requested.3. Both public and private bodies shall be eligible for financial assistance.4. In cases where the Commission takes the initiative for an action-research project or study, it shall obtain the agreement of the Member State or States on whose territory the project is to be carried out. 1. The Commission shall consult the representatives of the Governments of the Member States and, where appropriate, those responsible, within the framework of the projects, for coordination, evaluation and dissemination of knowledge, and independent experts on all matters of importance concerning the implementation of this Decision.2. The Commission shall arrange for the body responsible for each type of action in question to report back to it at regular intervals on the progress or outcome of the action and to convey any other appropriate information. At the end of 1987, the Commission shall submit to the Council and the European Parliament an interim report on the first available results of the various operations carried out with financial assistance from the Community.The Commission shall also submit a final report as soon as possible after the conclusion of the programme.

Because of this provision, the production of certain producers who are members of a producer organisation which has its head office in another Member State, or the production of producer organisations belonging to an association of producer organisations which has its head office in another Member State counts against the processing threshold of the Member State in which the producer organisation or association of producer organisations has its head office. Experience indicates that this offset should be made against the threshold of the Member State where the raw material is produced.(4) Regulation (EC) No 1535/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Processed Fruit and Vegetables,. Regulation (EC) No 1535/2003 is hereby amended as follows:1. the first subparagraph of Article 23(1) is replaced by the following:2. in the first subparagraph of Article 24, point (b) is replaced by the following:‘(b) the quantity covered by the aid application whereby that quantity, broken down by contract and, if appropriate, by the aid level applicable in the Member State where the raw material is produced, may not exceed the quantity accepted for processing, after deduction of any reduction rates applied;’3. the following subparagraph is added after the first subparagraph of Article 27(1): This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall apply from the 2006/07 marketing year.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

Diseases caused by agents specifically engineered for the purpose of maximising morbidity and/or mortality upon deliberate release should be covered by that Decision.(2) Commission Decision 2000/96/EC of 22 December 1999 on the communicable diseases to be progressively covered by the Community network under Decision No 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(2), lists certain communicable diseases to be covered by epidemiological surveillance in the Community network set up under Decision No 2119/98/EC.(3) Commission Decision 2002/253/EC of 19 March 2002 laying down case definitions for reporting communicable diseases to the Community network under Decision No 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(3), provides for case definitions for communicable diseases listed in Decision 2000/96/EC.(4) It is appropriate that the communicable diseases for which case definitions are provided in Decision 2002/253/EC are congruent with the communicable diseases listed in Decision 2000/96/EC.(5) Smallpox could pose a serious public health threat in the event of deliberate release. This communicable disease should therefore be listed in Annex 1 to Decision 2000/96/EC. A case definition for smallpox should be included in Decision 2002/253/EC.(6) Although tetanus is not transmissible among humans and only occurs sporadically in the Community, evaluation of vaccine programmes based on surveillance would contribute to the improvement of vaccine policies. Tetanus should therefore be listed as a communicable disease in Decision 2000/96/EC. A case definition for tetanus is already provided for in Decision 2002/253/EC.(7) A deliberate release of anthrax in the Community would pose a serious risk to public health. Therefore that disease should be listed as a communicable disease in Decision 2000/96/EC. A case definition for anthrax is already provided for in Decision 2002/253/EC.(8) Transmission of botulism is not restricted to foodborne intoxication and any reference to that mode of contracting the disease should, therefore, be deleted.(9) It is appropriate that the case definition for diphtheria in Decision 2002/253/EC be reviewed to take into account the latest scientific evidence.(10) Decision 2000/96/EC defines criteria for the selection of communicable diseases of special areas to be covered by epidemiological surveillance within the Community network set up under Decision No 2119/98/EC. Q-fever and tularaemia would fulfil those criteria in the event of deliberate release. Those diseases also occur naturally within the European Community. Surveillance based on case definitions would offer added benefit. Those communicable diseases should therefore be listed in Decision 2000/96/EC. In addition, case definitions for Q-fever and tularaemia should be included in Decision 2002/253/EC.(11) Decisions No 2119/98/EC, 2000/96/EC and 2002/253/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 7 of Decision No 2119/98/EC,.

Significant volumes of imports of the product under investigation appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient prima facie evidence that imports of the product under investigation are made at prices below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.(11) Finally, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of the product under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned.(12) Should circumvention practices via Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation, other than transhipment and assembly operations, be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may also cover these practices.E.   PROCEDURE(13) In light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation and to make imports of the product under investigation, whether declared as originating in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.(a)   Questionnaires(14) In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines, to the known exporters/producers and to the known associations of exporters/producers in the People's Republic of China, to the known importers and to the known associations of importers in the Union and to the authorities of the People's Republic of China, Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Union industry.(15) In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission forthwith, but not later than within the time limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation, and request a questionnaire within the time limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.(16) The authorities of the People's Republic of China, Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines will be notified accordingly of the initiation of the investigation.(b)   Collection of information and holding of hearings(17) All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.(c)   Exemption of registration of imports or measures(18) In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.(19) Since the possible circumvention takes place outside the Union, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines of bicycles and other cycles (including delivery tricycles, but excluding unicycles), not motorised, that can show that they are not related (4) to any producer subject to the measures (5) and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Article 13(1) and (2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.F.   REGISTRATION(20) Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation should be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied from the date on which registration of such imports consigned from Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines was imposed.G.   TIME LIMITS(21) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:— interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,— producers in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,— interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.(22) Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the time limits laid down in Article 3 of this Regulation.H.   NON-COOPERATION(23) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.(24) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.(25) If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.I.   SCHEDULE OF THE INVESTIGATION(26) The investigation will be concluded, pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, within nine months of the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.J.   PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA(27) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6).K.   HEARING OFFICER(28) Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of the Directorate-General for Trade. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and requests by third parties to be heard.

An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, in order to determine if imports into the Union of bicycles and other cycles (including delivery tricycles, but excluding unicycles), not motorised, currently falling within CN codes ex 8712 00 30 and ex 8712 00 70 (TARIC codes 8712003020, and 8712007092) consigned from Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines, whether declared as originating in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines or not, are circumventing the measures imposed by Regulation (EU) No 502/2013. The Customs authorities shall, pursuant to Article 13(3) and Article 14(5)of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009, take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Union identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.The Commission, by regulation, may direct Customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Union of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found to fulfil the conditions for an exemption to be granted.

That list includes flocoumafen.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, flocoumafen has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 14, rodenticides, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) The Netherlands was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 4 October 2007 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 15 May 2009, in an assessment report.(5) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as rodenticides and containing flocoumafen may be expected not to present a risk to humans except for accidental incidents with children. A risk has been identified regarding non-target animals. However, flocoumafen is for the time being considered essential for reasons of public health and hygiene. It is therefore justified to include flocoumafen in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as rodenticides and containing flocoumafen can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.(6) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that specific risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level to products containing flocoumafen and used as rodenticides. Such measures should be aimed at limiting the risk of primary and secondary exposure of humans and non-target animals as well as the long-term effects of the substance on the environment. To this end, certain constraints such as the maximum concentration, the prohibition on marketing the active substance in products which are not ready to use and the use of aversive agents should be imposed across the board, while other conditions should be imposed by the Member States on a case-by-case basis.(7) In view of the identified risks and its characteristics, which render it potentially persistent, liable to bioaccumulate and toxic, or very persistent and very liable to bioaccumulate, flocoumafen should be included in Annex I for five years only and should be made subject to a comparative risk assessment in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 10(5)(i) of Directive 98/8/EC before its inclusion in Annex I is renewed.(8) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance flocoumafen and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.(9) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I 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.(10) After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 14 containing flocoumafen to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.(11) Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. 1.   Member States shall adopt and publish, by 30 September 2010 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 October 2011.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.

This Directive shall apply to members of the working population including self-employed persons, persons whose activity is interrupted by illness, matrnity, accident or involuntary unemployment and persons seeking employment, and to retired and disabled workers. This Directive shall apply to:(a) occupational schemes which provide protection against the following risks:- sickness,- invalidity,- old age, including early retirement,- industrial accidents and occupational diseases,- unemployment;(b) occupational schemes which provide for other social benefits, in cash or in kind, and in particular survivors' benefits and family allowances, if such benefits are accorded to employed persons and thus constitute a consideration paid by the employer to the worker by reason of the latter's employment. 1. Unter the conditions laid down in the following provisions, the principle of equal treatment implies that there shall be no discrimination on the basis of sex, either directly or indirectly, by reference in particular to marital or family status, especially as regards:- the scope of the schemes and the conditions of access to them;- the obligation to contribute and the calculation of contributions;- the calculation of benefits, including supplementary benefits due in respect of a spouse or dependants, and the conditions governing the duration and retention of entitlement to benefits.2. The principle of equal treatment shall not prejudice the provisions relating to the protection of women by reason of maternity. 1. Provisions contrary to the principle of equal treatment shall include those based on sex, either directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to marital or family for:(a) determining the persons who may participate in an occupational scheme;(b) fixing the compulsory or optional nature of participation in an occupational scheme;(c) laying down different rules as regards the age of entry into the scheme or the minimum period of employment or membership of the scheme required to obtain the benefits thereof;(d) laying down different rules, except as provided for in subparagraphs (h) and (i), for the reimbursement of contributions where a worker leaves a scheme without having fulfilled the conditions guaranteeing him a deferred right to long-term benefits;(e) setting different conditions for the granting of benefits of restricting such benefits to workers of one or other of the sexes;(f) fixing different retirement ages;(g) suspending the retention or acquisition of rights during periods of maternity leave or leave for family reasons which are granted by law or agreement and are paid by the employer;(h) setting different levels of benefit, except insofar as may be necessary to take account of actuarial calculation factors which differ according to sex in the case of benefits designated as contribution-defined; (i) setting different levels of worker contribution;setting different levels of employer contribution in the case of benefits designated as contribution-defined, except with a view to making the amount of those benefits more nearly equal;(j) laying down different standards or standards applicable only to workers of a specified sex, except as provided for in subparagraphs (h) and (i), as regards the guarantee or retention of entitlement to deferred benefits when a worker leaves a scheme.2. Where the granting of benefits within the scope of this Directive is left to the discretion of the scheme's management bodies, the latter must take account of the principle of equal treatment. Member States shall take all necessary steps to ensure that:(a) provisions contrary to the principle of equal treatment in legally compulsory collective agreements, staff rules of undertakings or any other arrangements relating to occupational schemes are null and void, or may be declared null and void or amended;(b) schemes containing such provisions may not be approved or extended by administrative measures. 1. Member States shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the provisions of occupational schemes contrary to the principle of equal treatment are revised by 1 January 1993.2. This Directive shall not preclude rights and obligations relating to a period of membership of an occupational scheme prior to revision of that scheme from remaining subject to the provisions of the scheme in force during that period. Member States may defer compulsory application of the principle of equal treatment with regard to:(a) determination of pensionable age for the purposes of granting old-age or retirement pensions, and the possible implications for other benefits:- either until the date on which such equality is achieved in statutory schemes,- or, at the latest, until such equality is required by a directive.(b) survivors' pensions until a directive requires the principle of equal treatment in statutory social security schemes in that regard;(c) the application of the first subparagraph of Article 6 (1) (i) to take account of the different actuarial calculation factors, at the latest until the expiry of a thirteen-year period as from the notification of this Directive. 0Member States shall introduce into their national legal systems such measures as are necessary to enable all persons who consider themselves injured by failure to apply the principle of equal treatment to pursue their claims before the courts, possibly after bringing the matters before other competent authorities. 1Member States shall take all the necessary steps to protect worker against dismissal where this constitutes a response on the part of the employer to a complaint made at undertaking level or to the institution of legal proceedings aimed at enforcing compliance with the principle of equal treatment. 21. Member States shall bring into force such laws, regulations and administrative provisions as are necessary in order to comply with this Directive at the latest three years after notification thereof (1). They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission at the latest five years after notification of this Directive all information necessary to enable the Commission to draw up a report on the application of this Directive for submission to the Council. 3This Directive is addressed to the Member States..

Field of applicationApplication of this method is related to the quantity of sugar present in the product analised. The presence of amino acids, salts of organic acids, inorganic salts, fat, flavonoids and alcohol alters the refractive index.II. DefinitionDry soluble residue content (determined by refractometry) means the percentage weight of sucrose in an aqueous solution of sucrose which, under given conditions, has the same refractive index as the product analysed. The product's dry soluble residue content is expressed in grams per 100 grams (g/100 g).III. PrincipleDeduction of the dry soluble residue content of a product from its refractive index.IV. ApparatusAbbe-type refractometerThis apparatus must enable the percentage weight of sucrose to be determined to the nearest ± 0,1 %.The refractometer must have a thermometer with a scale extending at least from + 15 °C to + 25 °C. It must also have a water circulator enabling the temperature to be adjusted with an accuracy of ± 0,5 °C.Operating instructions for this apparatus, and in particular those dealing with calibration and light source, must be strictly followed.V. Method1. Preparation of sample1.1. Liquid productsMix carefully and proceed to determination.1.2. Semi-dense products, purées, fruit juices with matter in suspensionCarefully mix an average laboratory sample and then homogenize. Strain part of the sample through dry gauze folded in four, remove the first drops and proceed to determination on the filtrate.1.3. Dense products (jams and jellies)If the previously homogenized product cannot be used directly, weigh 40 g of the product to the nearest 0,01 g in a 250 ml beaker and add 100 ml of distilled water.Boil gently for two or three minutes, stirring with a glass rod.Cool, pour the contents of the beaker into an appropriate tared vessel using distilled water as a flushing liquid, add distilled water so as to obtain about 200 g of product, weigh it to the nearest 0,01 g, and mix the solution throuroughly.Allow to stand for 20 minutes, then strain through a folded filter or a Buechner funnel.Make determination on the filtrate.1.4. Frozen productsDefrost and remove stones or pips and cores. Mix the product with the liquid formed during defrosting and proceed as in 1.2 or 1.3.1.5. Dry products or products containing whole fruit or pieces of fruitCut the laboratory sample - or part of it - into small pieces, remove stones or pips and cores and mix carefully.Weigh 10 to 20 g of the product to the nearest 0,01 g in a beaker.Add distilled water corresponding to five times the weight of the product. Heat in a water bath for 30 minutes stirring occasionally with a glass rod. When cool, continue as described in 1.3.1.6. Products containing alcoholWeigh about 100 g of sample to the nearest 0,01 g into a tared beaker. Place the beaker in a bath of boiled water for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally with a glass rod, and add distilled water if necessary.Where the alcohol content exceeds about 5 % mass add more distilled water and heat again in the water bath for 45 minutes.After cooling weigh the final contents of the vessel, filer if necessary, and continue with the determination.2. DeterminationBring the sample to the measurement temperature by immersing the container in a water bath at the required temperature.Place a small sample on the lower prism of the refractometer, taking care to ensure that the sample covers the glass surface uniformly when the prisms are pressed against each other. Measure in accordance with the operating instructions for the apparatur used.Read the percentage weight of sucrose to the nearest 0,1 %.Make at least two determinations on the same prepared sample.VI. Expression of resultsCalculation and formulationThe dry soluble residue content, conventionally expressed in grams of sucrose per 100 grams of product, is calculated as follows. The percentage sucrose content indicated by refractometry is used directly. If the reading is made at a temperature other than + 20 °C, correct as indicated in the attached table.If measurement has been made on a dilute solution, the dry soluble residue content (M) is calculated using the following formula:M = M × 100 E M being the weight (in grams) of dry soluble residue per 100 g of product indicated by the refractometer and E the weight (in grams) of product per 100 g of solution.Corrections when determination is made at a temperature other than 20 °C""""Subtract"" ID=""01"">15> ID=""02"">0,25> ID=""03"">0,27> ID=""04"">0,31> ID=""05"">0,31> ID=""06"">0,34> ID=""07"">0,35> ID=""08"">0,36> ID=""09"">0,37> ID=""10"">0,36> ID=""11"">0,36""> ID=""01"">16> ID=""02"">0,21> ID=""03"">0,23> ID=""04"">0,27> ID=""05"">0,27> ID=""06"">0,29> ID=""07"">0,31> ID=""08"">0,31> ID=""09"">0,32> ID=""10"">0,31> ID=""11"">0,23""> ID=""01"">17> ID=""02"">0,16> ID=""03"">0,18> ID=""04"">0,20> ID=""05"">0,20> ID=""06"">0,22> ID=""07"">0,23> ID=""08"">0,23> ID=""09"">0,23> ID=""10"">0,20> ID=""11"">0,17""> ID=""01"">18> ID=""02"">0,11> ID=""03"">0,12> ID=""04"">0,14> ID=""05"">0,15> ID=""06"">0,16> ID=""07"">0,16> ID=""08"">0,15> ID=""09"">0,12> ID=""10"">0,12> ID=""11"">0,09""> ID=""01"">19> ID=""02"">0,06> ID=""03"">0,07> ID=""04"">0,08> ID=""05"">0,08> ID=""06"">0,08> ID=""07"">0,09> ID=""08"">0,09> ID=""09"">0,08> ID=""10"">0,07> ID=""11"">0,05"">Add"" ID=""01"">21> ID=""02"">0,06> ID=""03"">0,07> ID=""04"">0,07> ID=""05"">0,07> ID=""06"">0,07> ID=""07"">0,07> ID=""08"">0,07> ID=""09"">0,07> ID=""10"">0,07> ID=""11"">0,07""> ID=""01"">22> ID=""02"">0,12> ID=""03"">0,14> ID=""04"">0,14> ID=""05"">0,14> ID=""06"">0,14> ID=""07"">0,14> ID=""08"">0,14> ID=""09"">0,14> ID=""10"">0,14> ID=""11"">0,14""> ID=""01"">23> ID=""02"">0,18> ID=""03"">0,20> ID=""04"">0,20> ID=""05"">0,21> ID=""06"">0,21> ID=""07"">0,21> ID=""08"">0,21> ID=""09"">0,22> ID=""10"">0,22> ID=""11"">0,22""> ID=""01"">24> ID=""02"">0,24> ID=""03"">0,26> ID=""04"">0,26> ID=""05"">0,27> ID=""06"">0,28> ID=""07"">0,28> ID=""08"">0,28> ID=""09"">0,28> ID=""10"">0,29> ID=""11"">0,29""> ID=""01"">25> ID=""02"">0,30> ID=""03"">0,32> ID=""04"">0,32> ID=""05"">0,34> ID=""06"">0,36> ID=""07"">0,36> ID=""08"">0,36> ID=""09"">0,36> ID=""10"">0,36> ID=""11"">0,37 "">The temperature may not vary by more than ± 5 °C from 20 °C. +",tariff nomenclature;Brussels tariff nomenclature;customs nomenclature;tariff classification;tariff heading;fruit product;fruit must;fruit pulp;grape must;jam;marmalade;preserves;vegetable product;pickles;sauerkraut;tomato concentrate;tomato paste;vegetable pulp;sugar;fructose;fruit sugar;analytical chemistry;centrifuging;chemical analysis;chemical testing;chromatography;conductometry;electrolytic analysis;photometry;volumetric analysis,30 +38513,"Commission Regulation (EU) No 531/2010 of 18 June 2010 entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Csabai kolbász/Csabai vastagkolbász (PGI)). ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 7(4) thereof,Whereas:(1) Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 6(2) and in accordance with Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, Hungary’s application to register the name ‘Csabai kolbász’ or ‘Csabai vastagkolbász’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2).(2) As no statement of objection under Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 has been received by the Commission, that name should therefore be entered in the register,.

The main purpose for developing at Community level such a network for the surveillance and control of communicable diseases was to collect and coordinate information from monitoring networks in the Member States in relation to public health.(2) As at the time of adoption of the Decision 2000/96/EC not all communicable diseases or special health issues selected for epidemiological surveillance could be covered by the Community network, some dedicated surveillance networks have been identified as those which could be already put in place.(3) Commission Decision 2003/542/EC of 17 July 2003 amending Decision 2000/96/EC as regards the operation of dedicated surveillance networks (3), inter alia, specifies the communicable diseases and special health issues for which dedicated surveillance networks had been put in place at that time.(4) Regulation (EC) No 851/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 establishing a European centre for disease prevention and control (4) (ECDC) defines dedicated surveillance networks (DSN) as any specific network on diseases or special health issues selected for epidemiological surveillance between accredited structures and authorities of Member States.(5) Article 3(2)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 851/2004, entrusted the ECDC with the mission to coordinate the European networking of bodies operating within the fields of its mission, including networks arising from the public health activities supported by the Commission and operating the DSN.(6) The ECDC currently monitors the relative importance of diseases and special health issues and whenever required by the epidemiological situation suggests amending the list of communicable diseases to be progressively covered by the Community network; in addition any new diseases included within the Decision 2000/96/EC are immediately covered by epidemiological surveillance of the ECDC.(7) As the vast majority of the diseases and health issues listed in the Annex I to Decision 2000/96/EC is now covered by the ECDC activities, it is no longer necessary to highlight in that Annex, by means of asterisks, those networks which are already in place.(8) Decision 2000/96/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 7 of Decision No 2119/98/EC,.

their possible replacement is in principle connected with serious medical problems.(8) Furthermore, hip, knee and shoulder replacement surgery is increasingly taking place on young people with a high life expectancy; consequently, the need for such implants to function properly over the life expectancy of the patients and to reduce revision surgery and its risks has been increased.(9) Specific clinical data, including long term performance data are not always available for hip, knee and shoulder replacements before they are placed on the market and put into service; consequently, conclusions on clinical data collected by the manufacturer in the framework of the evaluation of the conformity of these products with the requirements concerning their characteristics and performance referred to in Sections 1 and 3 of Annex I to Directive 93/42/EEC should be subject to particular attention and examination in order to verify the appropriateness of the clinical data available.(10) Total joint replacements can be subject to multiple modifications following their introduction into clinical use and placing on the market, as shown by hip and knee replacements on the market. However, experience has shown that what appear at first sight to be minor post-marketing changes to the design of previously trouble-free replacements can lead to serious problems due to unintended consequences, which may lead to early failure and major safety concerns.(11) In order to achieve the optimal level of safety and health protection and to reduce the design related problems to the lowest level, the design dossier of hip, knee and shoulder replacements, including the clinical data used by the manufacturer to support the claimed performance and the subsequent post-marketing design and manufacturing changes should be examined in detail by the notified body before these devices are introduced in general clinical use.(12) Consequently, the notified body should, under the full quality assurance system, effectively carry out an examination of the design dossier and of the changes to the approved design in accordance with point 4 of Annex II to Directive 93/42/EEC.(13) For these reasons, it is necessary to proceed to the reclassification of hip, knee and shoulder total joint replacements as class III medical devices.(14) It is necessary to provide for an adequate transitional period for hip, knee and shoulder total joint replacements already assessed as class IIb medical devices under the full quality assurance system of Annex II to Directive 93/42/EEC, allowing for their complementary assessment under point 4 of Annex II to the Directive.(15) Hip, knee and shoulder total joint replacements already certified following the procedure relating to the EC type examination set out in Annex III to Directive 93/42/EEC, coupled with the procedure relating to the EC verification set out in Annex IV or the procedure relating to the EC declaration of conformity set out in Annex V to that Directive, are not affected by the present Directive as these certification schemes are the same for both class IIb and class III medical devices.(16) It is necessary to provide for an adequate transitional period for hip, knee and shoulder total joint replacements that have already been subject to the procedure relating to the EC type examination under Annex III to Directive 93/42/EEC coupled with the procedure relating to the EC declaration of conformity set out in Annex VI to that Directive, allowing for their assessment under Annex IV or Annex V to Directive 93/42/EEC.(17) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Medical Devices set up by Article 6(2) of Council Directive 90/385/EEC of 20 June 1990 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to active implantable medical devices (2),. By way of derogation from the rules set out in Annex IX to Directive 93/42/EEC, hip, knee and shoulder replacements shall be reclassified as medical devices falling within class III. For the purpose of this Directive, a hip, knee or shoulder replacement means an implantable component part of a total joint replacement system which is intended to provide a function similar to that of either a natural hip joint, a natural knee joint or a natural shoulder joint. Ancillary components (screws, wedges, plates and instruments) are excluded from this definition. 1.   Hip, knee and shoulder replacements that have been subject to a conformity assessment procedure pursuant to Article 11(3)(a) of Directive 93/42/EEC before 1 September 2007 shall be subject to a complementary conformity assessment under point 4 of Annex II to Directive 93/42/EEC leading to an EC design examination certificate before 1 September 2009. This provision does not preclude a manufacturer from submitting an application for conformity assessment based on Article 11(1)(b) of Directive 93/42/EEC.2.   Hip, knee and shoulder replacements that have been subject to a conformity assessment procedure pursuant to Article 11(3)(b)(iii) of Directive 93/42/EEC before 1 September 2007 may be subject to a conformity assessment as class III medical devices pursuant to Article 11(1)(b)(i) or (ii) before 1 September 2010. This provision does not preclude a manufacturer from submitting an application for conformity assessment based on Article 11(1)(a) of Directive 93/42/EEC.3.   Member States shall accept until 1 September 2009 the placing on the market and the putting into service of hip, knee and shoulder replacements covered by a Decision in accordance with Article 11(3)(a) of Directive 93/42/EEC issued before 1 September 2007.4.   Member States shall accept until 1 September 2010 the placing on the market of hip, knee and shoulder replacements which are covered by a Decision in accordance with Articles 11(3)(b)(iii) of Directive 93/42/EEC issued before 1 September 2007 and permit such total joint replacements to be put into service beyond that date. 1.   Member States shall adopt and publish the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 March 2007.

However, to allow for a re-evaluation of the appropriateness of those national measures, the authorisation to apply those measures is limited in time until 31 December 2011.(5) Finland has submitted reports to the Commission on the functioning of its national eradication programme for BKD, in which it is stated that the eradication of BKD has not yet been successful. While progress has been made in several areas, some areas still remain infected with BKD. Finland has therefore requested that the geographical demarcation of the programme be limited to two continuous zones covering 19 water catchment areas. In those two zones, only four farms are under BKD-related restrictions and they are all undergoing the process of destroying infected fish, and the cleaning and disinfection of the facilities.(6) Sweden has submitted a report to the Commission on the functioning of its national eradication programmes for BKD and IPN. The number of reported cases has been reduced significantly and both diseases are close to being eradicated from the programme areas. The continental parts of Sweden are already free of IPN and the national eradication programme in the coastal waters therefore also functions as a buffer to protect the already declared free areas.(7) On the basis of the information provided by Finland and Sweden, it is appropriate to continue those national measures. However, taking into account that eradication has not yet been achieved despite years of applying national eradication programmes, the appropriateness and necessity of the national measures needs to be re-evaluated in due time.

whereas it is recognised that the period between the application of the measures and the revision of the maximum levels is too short to result in significant decreases in nitrate levels in spinach and lettuce, taking into account the major influence of climatic conditions on the level of nitrates in lettuce and spinach;(4) Whereas the results of controls carried out by the Member States indicate that the maximum levels for nitrates in fresh spinach are in several cases exceeded; whereas several Member States have authorised for a transitional period the placing on the market of spinach grown and intended for consumption in their territory with nitrate levels higher than those set in point 1.1 of Part I of the Annex; whereas it is not possible for the time being, given the short period of time between application and revision of the measures, to fix maximum levels for nitrates in spinach as low as reasonably achievable, taking into account the application of codes of good practice; whereas it is therefore appropriate to maintain the current maximum limits for nitrates in fresh spinach and to provide that these levels will be reviewed in a three-year period; whereas this review will be based on monitoring carried out by the Member States and the application of codes of good practice to reduce nitrate levels;(5) Whereas the results of controls carried out by the Member State indicate that there is no possibility for the time being to reduce the maximum levels for lettuce;(6) Whereas some Member states still need a transitional period to authorise the placing on the market of lettuce grown and intended for consumption in their territory with nitrate levels higher than those set in point 1.1 of Part I of the Annex; whereas it is appropriate to review each three years the maximum levels for nitrates in lettuce on the basis of the application of good practice to reduce nitrates levels and the results of controls carried out by the Member States in order to fix the maximum levels as low as reasonably achievable;(7) Whereas the monitoring and the application of good practices shall be carried out using means proportionate to the desired objective, the obtained monitoring results and, particularly, in the light of the risks and of experience gained; whereas the application of codes of good practice in some Member States will be closely observed; whereas it is therefore appropriate that Member States communicate each year the results of their monitoring and report on the measures taken and the progress with regard to the application of codes of good practices to reduce nitrate levels and that an exchange of views with the Member States on these reports will take place annually;(8) Whereas lower limits are fixed for open-grown lettuce than for lettuce grown under glass, and in order to allow effective control the limits set for open grown lettuce should apply also to lettuce grown under glass in the absence of precise labelling;(9) Whereas the Scientific Committee for Food has been consulted, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 315/93, on the provisions liable to affect public health;

Where the examination of compliance with the processing threshold for the purpose of fixing the aid for the 2005/06 marketing year shows that the Community threshold has been exceeded, in those new Member States in which the threshold has not been exceeded or in which the threshold has been exceeded by less than 25 %, an additional amount shall be paid after the end of the 2004/05 marketing year.The additional amount referred to in the first subparagraph shall be based on the amount by which the national threshold concerned has been exceeded, up to a maximum of 25 % of the aid fixed in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2202/96. In examining compliance with the national processing thresholds for oranges, lemons and grapefruit and for the product group comprising mandarins, clementines and satsumas, for the new Member States only, the calculation shall be based:(a) for the 2005/06 marketing year, on a comparison between the national processing threshold and the quantities processed with aid during the marketing year or equivalent period preceding that marketing year;(b) for the 2006/07 marketing year, on a comparison between the national processing threshold and the average quantities processed with aid during the two marketing years or equivalent periods preceding that marketing year;The amount obtained when examining compliance with the national processing threshold for each of the products concerned shall be added to the amounts for all the other Member States for the purposes of examining compliance with the Community threshold.

There is a risk that the disease agent might be spread to other holdings thus reducing sharply the profitability of poultry farming, to wild birds and from one Member State to other Member States and third countries through the international trade in live birds or their products.(2) Highly pathogenic avian influenza A virus of subtype H5N1 has been isolated from wild birds in certain parts of the Community and in third countries adjacent to the Community or populated by migratory birds during winter. The likelihood of virus introduction with wild birds is increasing during the forthcoming migratory season.(3) Early detection systems and biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of transmission of avian influenza to poultry flocks are in place in the whole territory of the Netherlands.(4) In its opinion on ‘Animal health and welfare aspects of avian influenza’ of 20 September 2005 the Animal Health and Welfare Panel of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recommends that preventive vaccination can be considered if a high risk of virus introduction is identified in densely populated poultry areas. During an avian influenza epidemic there is always a significant risk that hobby and pet birds are hidden and constitute an ongoing risk of infection. This occurrence should be considered, and instead of mass culling of such birds, a policy of increased surveillance and biosecurity may be recommended. In addition, quarantine and vaccination may be considered as options for these types of birds. However, such a practice should not jeopardise the strict biosecurity and other measures that should be in force in such areas aimed at eradicating any introduction of virus. In particular, vaccination may be applied in flocks in which the general flock management systems that are used preclude birds being permanently housed indoors or sufficiently protected against contacts with wild birds.(5) On 21 February 2006, the Netherlands have submitted to the Commission for approval a plan for preventive vaccination in the light of the particular risk of introduction of avian influenza into their territory. The Commission has immediately examined this plan in collaboration with the Netherlands and deems that after certain adaptations it is in conformity with the relevant Community provisions. It appears therefore appropriate to approve this plan.(6) Only vaccines authorised in accordance with Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal products (2) or Regulation No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 laying down Community procedures for the authorisation and supervision of medicinal products for human and veterinary use and establishing a European Medicines Agency (3) should be used.(7) Where preventive vaccination is carried out in the Netherlands monitoring on vaccinated and unvaccinated poultry flocks and movement restrictions for vaccinated birds have to be implemented.(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. Subject matter, scope and definitions1.   This Decision lays down certain measures to be applied in the Netherlands where preventive vaccination is carried out in certain poultry holdings at particular risk for introduction of infection including movement restrictions on vaccinated poultry and certain products derived thereof.2.   For the pupose of this Decision, in addition to the definitions laid down in Council Directive 2005/94/EC the following definitions shall apply:(a) ‘backyard poultry’ means chicken, ducks, turkeys and geese which are kept by their owners:(i) for their own consumption or use; or(ii) as pets.(b) ‘organic’ and ‘free range layers’ means laying hens as defined in Council Directive 1999/74/EC of 19 July 1999 laying down minimum standards for the protection of laying hensand Commission Directive 2002/4/EC (4) of 30 January 2002 on the registration of establishments keeping laying hens, covered by Council Directive 1999/74/EC which have access to open runs. Approval of the vaccination programme1.   The plan for preventive vaccination against highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1, submitted by the Netherlands to the Commission on 21 February 2006, is approved (‘the preventive vaccination plan’).In accordance with ‘the preventive vaccination plan’ the preventive vaccination against avian influenza H5N1 shall be carried out with an inactivated heterologous vaccine of avian influenza subtype H5 or in exceptional circumstances and only in the case of organic and free range layers with a bivalent vaccine containing both avian influenza subtypes H5 an H7 authorised by the Netherlands in backyard poultry, organic and free range layers in the whole territory of the Netherlands.2.   Intensive monitoring and surveillance, as set out in the ‘the preventive vaccination plan’ shall be carried out in the backyard poultry and flocks of organic or free range layers where preventive vaccination is carried out.3.   The preventive vaccination plan shall be implemented efficiently.4.   The Commission shall publish the preventive vaccination plan. Provisions for movements of live poultry, table eggs, fresh poultry meat, minced meat, meat preparations, mechanically separated meat and meat productsThe provisions for movements of live poultry coming from and/or originating from holdings in which preventive vaccination is carried out and on movements of table eggs, fresh poultry meat, minced meat, meat preparations, mechanically separated meat and meat products derived from vaccinated poultry in accordance with ‘the preventive vaccination plan’ shall apply in accordance with Article 4 to 11 of this Decision. Provisions for movements and dispatch of live backyard poultry and day-old poultry and hatching eggs derived from such poultryThe competent authority shall ensure that:1. Vaccinated backyard poultry must be individually identified and may only be moved to other vaccinated backyard holdings within the Netherlands in accordance with ‘the preventive vaccination plan’ which requires records of such movements.2.

Article 13(1) and Annex VII to that Regulation provide for certain measures to be applied as soon as possible following the confirmation of the presence of a TSE. It is anticipated that the implementation of certain aspects of those measures will present practical difficulties.(2) As regards ovine and caprine animals, rules for the tracing of progeny following the confirmation of a TSE should be restricted to cases confirmed in female animals, due to the practical difficulties and uncertain benefits of tracing progeny of TSE infected male animals.(3) As regards bovine animals, under Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, in the case of confirmation of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), cohorts of BSE affected bovine animals are to be killed and completely destroyed.(4) In its general session of May 2003, the World Animal Health Organisation (Office International des Epizooties (OIE)) decided that cohorts of BSE affected bovine animals may be kept alive until the end of their productive life, provided that they are completely destroyed following death.(5) According to the OIE animal health code there is no need to restrict the use of bovine semen because of BSE. In its opinion of 18 and 19 March 1999 on the possible vertical transmission of BSE, updated on 16 May 2002, the Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) concluded that it is unlikely that bovine semen constitutes a risk factor for the transmission of BSE.(6) In addition, bulls at semen collection centres are under official control, which makes it possible to ensure that they are completely destroyed following death.(7) The conditions for ending restrictions on TSE infected ovine holdings should be broadened when implemented in combination with intensive TSE monitoring. The rules for the restocking with goats of mixed holdings should be amended accordingly.(8) The movement of semi-resistant ewes between restricted holdings should be allowed, to alleviate certain regional difficulties in finding suitable replacement animals for infected flocks.(9) To facilitate the transition to the new rules, the period during which a derogation regarding destruction of certain animals should be allowed in sheep breeds or holdings with a low level of the ARR allele should be extended from two to three breeding years.(10) Annexes VIII and IX to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 provide for the conditions for trade and import of ovine and caprine animals intended for breeding. Those conditions should be clarified.(11) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

From that date, Mayotte ceased to be an overseas country or territory and became an outermost region of the Union within the meaning of Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).(2) The Council authorised the Commission to negotiate, on behalf of the Union, an agreement with the Republic of the Seychelles relating to the access, for fishing vessels flying the flag of the Republic of Seychelles, to waters and marine biological resources of the Union in the exclusive economic zone off the coast of Mayotte.(3) The Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of the Seychelles on access for fishing vessels flying the flag of the Seychelles to waters and marine biological resources of Mayotte, under the jurisdiction of the European Union ('Agreement') was signed in accordance with Council Decision 2014/331/EU (2) and is provisionally applied from 20 May 2014.(4) The Agreement establishes a Joint Committee responsible for monitoring its application. Furthermore, in accordance with the Agreement, the Joint Committee may approve certain modifications to the Agreement. In order to facilitate the approval of such modifications, it is appropriate to empower the Commission, subject to specific conditions, to approve them under a simplified procedure.(5) In order for the authorities in Mayotte to implement the rules of the common fisheries policy (CFP) from the date on which Mayotte becomes an outermost region, it is necessary to set up the appropriate administrative framework, control activities and physical infrastructure, and to provide the appropriate capacity building. This will be of assistance with regard to the requirement to comply with the international reporting obligations of the Union.(6) The necessary financial means should be provided to the fisheries authorities in Mayotte through the use of the shipowners' fees to be paid directly to Mayotte. Such a solution is even more appropriate in view of the strong relationship that has developed between the Seychelles fleet and the local community of the French outermost region of Mayotte. The fishing fleet flagged in the Seychelles has been operating in the Mayotte waters for several years through an arrangement between Mayotte and the vessel shipowners, whereby the shipowners pay a licence fee to Mayotte to fish in its waters. In order to maintain the continuity of fishing operations and subsequent benefits to Mayotte, it is appropriate that all payments related to authorisations and catches under this agreement benefit directly the local community in Mayotte.(7) The Agreement should be approved,. The Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of the Seychelles on access for fishing vessels flying the flag of the Seychelles to waters and marine biological resources of Mayotte, under the jurisdiction of the European Union is hereby approved on behalf of the Union (3). 1.   France shall be authorised to collect, for the account of its outermost region Mayotte, the payments related to authorisations and catches and other fees due by operators of fishing vessels flying the flag of the Seychelles in consideration of the granting of access to waters and marine biological resources within Union waters off the coast of Mayotte in accordance with the provisions of Chapter III, Section 1, paragraphs 8 and 9 and Section 2 of the Annex of the Agreement. Those revenues shall be used by France for the setting up of the appropriate administrative framework, control activities, physical infrastructure and for the provision of the appropriate capacity building in order for the administration in Mayotte to meet the requirements of the CFP.2.   France shall provid details of that bank account to the Commission.3.   At the end of each year of implementation of the Agreement, France shall send to the Commission a detailed report on the payments made by the vessels authorised to fish and on the utilisation of those payments. The President of the Council shall, on behalf of the Union, give the notification provided for in Article 19 of the Agreement (4). Subject to the provisions and conditions set out in the Annex, the European Commission shall be empowered to approve, on behalf of the Union, modifications to the Agreement in the Joint Committee.

The poultry holdings in the established buffer zones have been depopulated and restocking will start following a waiting period after cleaning and disinfection has been carried out.(5) Following a further waiting period until 26 May 2003, provided that no new outbreaks have been reported it would seem appropriate to limit the trade restrictions in force to the previously disease affected areas and an appropriate buffer zone around this area and to allow trade in live poultry and poultry products from the rest of the Belgian territory, which could then be considered as free of avian influenza.(6) The animal health certificates to be possibly used as from 27 May 2003 for consignments of live poultry and hatching eggs originating from the regionalised area in Belgium and destined for another Member State or third country should be amended accordingly.(7) The measures laid down in Decision 2003/289/EC should be further prolonged and adapted in the light of the evolution of the disease.(8) 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 2003/289/EC is amended as follows:1. In Article 3 the first paragraph shall be replaced by the following text:""Without prejudice to the measures already taken in the framework of Directive 92/40/EEC, the competent authorities of Belgium shall ensure that the preventive depopulation of poultry holdings at risk within the restricted zones and the zones described in the Annex and the culling of other poultry and birds kept in these areas which are considered to be at risk is completed as soon as possible.""2. A new Article 7a is added as follow:""Article 7a1. However as of midnight 26 May 2003, if(a) no further outbreaks of avian influenza are reported in Belgium before 17.00 on 26 May 2003, and(b) all the clinical examinations and laboratory tests carried out in Belgium in relation to holdings infected, suspected or suspected to be contaminated with avian influenza have given negative results, shall be replaced by the following:'Article 11. Without prejudice to the measures taken by Belgium within the framework of Council Directive 92/40/EEC applied to the surveillance zones, the Belgian veterinary authorities shall ensure that no live poultry, hatching eggs and fresh, unprocessed and non-heat-treated poultry manure or litter are dispatched from the provinces of Antwerp and Limburg, to other parts of Belgium, other Member States and to third countries.2. Without prejudice to the measures taken by Belgium within the framework of Council Directive 92/40/EEC within the surveillance zones the Belgian veterinary authorities shall ensure that no live poultry and hatching eggs are transported within provinces of Antwerp and Limburg.3. By way of derogation from paragraph 2 the competent veterinary authority, taking all appropriate bio-security measures in accordance with Articles 4 and 5 to avoid the spread of avian influenza, may authorise the transport from areas situated outside the surveillance zones of:(a) poultry for immediate slaughter, including spent laying hens, to a slaughterhouse that has been designated by the competent veterinary authority;(b) day-old chicks and ready-to-lay pullets to a holding or shed under official control, where no other poultry is kept;(c) hatching eggs to a hatchery under official control.If live poultry transported in accordance with (a) or (b) originate in another Member State or third country the transport has to be approved by the Belgian authorities and the competent authority of the Member State or third country of dispatch.4. By way of derogation from paragraph 2 the competent veterinary authority, taking all appropriate bio-security measures to avoid the spread of avian influenza, may authorise transport of live poultry and hatching eggs not prohibited by Council Directive 92/40/EEC and in particular in respect to movements of day-old chicks in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 paragraph 4 (a), (b) and (c), which shall be transported to holdings within provinces of Antwerp and Limburg under official control.'2. For the purpose of paragraph 1, Belgium shall inform the Commission and the Member States on 26 May 2003 on the compliance with the conditions set up in paragraph 1.3. Without prejudice to Article 1 paragraph 1 animal health certificates accompanying consignments of live poultry and hatching eggs originating and/or coming from the territory of Belgium with the exception of the provinces of Antwerp and Limburg to be signed as of 27 May 2003, provided the conditions laid down in paragraph 2 are fulfilled, shall include the words: 'The animal health conditions of this consignment are in accordance with Decision 2003/356/EC'.""3. In Article 4 paragraph (a) and (b) the following words shall be inserted after the word ""returned"":""after having been cleaned and disinfected in accordance with d) or shall be handled otherwise under official supervision and according to the instructions of the competent authority to avoid cross contamination;"".4.

That list includes boric oxide.(2) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, boric oxide has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.(3) The Netherlands was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 7 July 2006 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 20 February 2009, in an assessment report.(5) It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing boric oxide may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include boric oxide in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as wood preservatives and containing boric oxide can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.(6) However, unacceptable risks were identified for the in situ treatment of wood outdoors and for treated wood exposed to weathering. Therefore, authorisations for these uses should not be granted unless data have been submitted in order to demonstrate that the products can be used without unacceptable risks to the environment.(7) Not all potential uses have been evaluated at the Community level. It is therefore appropriate that Member States assess those risks to the compartments and populations that have not been representatively addressed in the Community level risk assessment and, when granting product authorisations, ensure that appropriate measures are taken or specific conditions imposed in order to mitigate the identified risks to acceptable levels.(8) In the light of the findings of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that specific risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level to products containing boric oxide and used as wood preservatives. In particular, appropriate measures should be taken to protect the soil and aquatic compartments since unacceptable risks to these compartments have been identified during the evaluation. Products should also be used with appropriate protective equipment if the risk identified for professional and industrial users cannot be reduced by other means.(9) It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance boric oxide 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 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, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 8 containing boric oxide to ensure that they comply with 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,. Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. 1.   Member States shall adopt and publish, by 31 August 2010 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.They shall apply those provisions from 1 September 2011.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.

The Committee is therefore of the opinion that at present, it is not appropriate to use NOGE as an additive in materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs due to its tendency to migrate in this application.(8) The use and/or presence of NOGE components with more than two aromatic rings and their derivatives in plastic materials and articles, surface coatings and adhesives intended to come into contact with foodstuffs should be regulated through the establishment of a strict limit. That limit should, in practice, provisionally rule out their use as additives, pending the submission of adequate data for an appropriate risk assessment and the development of adequate methods for the determination of their levels in foodstuffs.(9) The use and/or presence of NOGE and BFDGE as monomers and starting substances for the preparation of special coatings used to cover the surfaces of very big containers should provisionally be allowed to continue, pending the submission of further technical data. The large volume/surface area ratio of these containers, their repeated use over their long lifetime, which reduces migration and their contact with foodstuffs at ambient temperature in the majority of the applications suggest that it is not necessary to set a migration limit for NOGE and BFDGE in such containers.(10) Member States which have not yet authorised the use and/or the presence of BADGE and/or BFDGE and/or NOGE in materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs may maintain their prohibition.(11) The use of BADGE, BFDGE and NOGE and/or their presence in plastic materials and articles, surface coatings such as varnishes, lacquers and paints, as well as adhesives, should be regulated at Community level to avoid risks to human health and barriers to the free movement of goods.(12) A transitional period should be provided for in respect of materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs or which are brought into contact with foodstuffs and which are manufactured before 1 December 2002.(13) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,. 1. This Directive shall apply to the following materials and articles:(a) materials and articles made of any type of plastics;(b) materials and articles covered by surface coatings;(c) adhesives;which are manufactured with or contain one or more of the following substances:- 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane bis(2,3-epoxypropyl) ether hereinafter called ""BADGE"", and some of its derivatives,- bis(-hydroxyphenyl)methane bis(2,3-epoxypropyl) ethers hereinafter called ""BFDGE"", and some of their derivatives,- other novolac glycidyl ethers hereinafter called ""NOGE"", and some of their derivatives,and which, in the finished product state, are intended to come into contact or are brought into contact with foodstuffs and are intended for that purpose.2. This Directive shall not apply to containers or storage tanks having a capacity greater than 10000 liters or to pipelines belonging to or connected with them, covered by special coatings called ""heavy-duty coatings"". The materials and articles referred to in Article 1(1) shall not release the substances listed in Annex I in a quantity exceeding the limit laid down in that Annex.The use and/or presence of BADGE in the manufacture of those materials and articles may only be continued until 31 December 2004. The materials and articles referred to in Article 1(1) shall not release the substances listed in Annex II in a quantity which, when added, to the sum of BADGE and its derivatives listed in Annex I, exceeds the limit laid down in Annex II.The use and/or presence of BFDGE in the manufacture of those materials and articles may only be continued until 31 December 2004. As from 1 December 2002, the quantity of NOGE components with more than two aromatic rings and at least one epoxy group as well as their derivatives containing chlorohydrin functions and having a molecular mass less than 1000 Daltons shall not be detectable in the materials and articles referred to in Article 1(1) at the detection limit of 0,2 mg/6 dm2, including analytical tolerance.The use and/or presence of NOGE in the manufacture of those materials and articles may only be continued until 31 December 2004. The requirements of this Directive shall not apply to materials and articles referred to in Article 1(1)(b) and (c) which have been put into free circulation in the Community before 1 December 2002.

There is a risk that the disease agent might be introduced via international trade in live poultry and poultry products.(2) Isarel has notified to the Commission the isolation of an H5 avian influenza virus collected from a clinical case. The clinical picture allows the suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza pending the determination of the neuraminidase (N) type.(3) In view of the animal health risk of disease introduction into the Community, it is therefore appropriate as an immediate measure to suspend imports of live poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game birds, live birds other than poultry and hatching eggs of these species from Israel.(4) As Israel is authorised for imports of game trophies and eggs for human consumption, imports into the Community of these products should be suspended as well because of the animal health risk involved.(5) Furthermore the importation into the Community from Israel should be suspended for fresh meat of poultry, ratites and wild and farmed feathered game and importation of meat preparations, minced meat, mechanically separated meat and meat products consisting of or containing meat of those species.(6) Certain products derived from poultry slaughtered before 15 February 2006 should also continue to be authorised, taking into account the incubation period of the disease.(7) Commission Decision 2005/432/EC (3) laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of meat products for human consumption from third countries and repealing Decisions 97/41/EC, 97/221/EC and 97/222/EC lays down the list of third countries from which Member States may authorise the importation of meat products and establishes treatment regimes considered effective in inactivating the respective pathogens. In order to prevent the risk of disease transmission via such products, appropiate treatment must be applied depending on the health status of the country of origin and the species the product is obtained from. It appears therefore appropriate, that imports of poultry meat products originating in Israel and treated to a temperature of at least 70 °C throughout the product should continue to be authorised.(8) The situation shall be reviewed at the next meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,. 1.   Member States shall suspend the importation from the territory of Israel of:— live poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game, live birds other than poultry as defined in Article 1, third indent, of Decision 2000/666/EC, and hatching eggs of these species,— fresh meat of poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game,— minced meat, meat preparations, mechanically separated meat and meat products consisting of or containing meat of those species,— raw pet food and unprocessed feed material containing any parts of those species,— eggs for human consumption, and— non-treated game trophies from any birds.2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States shall authorise the importation of the products covered by paragraph 1 first to fourth indent, which have been obtained from birds slaughtered before 15 February 2006.3.   In the veterinary certificates/commercial documents accompanying consignments of the products referred to in paragraph 2 the following words as appropriate to the species shall be included:‘Fresh poultry meat/fresh ratite meat/fresh meat of wild feathered game/fresh meat of farmed feathered game/meat product consisting of, or containing meat of poultry, ratites, farmed or wild feathered game meat/meat preparation consisting of, or containing meat of poultry, ratites, farmed or wild feathered game meat/raw pet food and unprocessed feed material containing any parts of poultry, ratites, farmed or wild feathered game (4) obtained from birds slaughtered before 15 February 2006 and in accordance with Article 1(2) of Commission Decision 2006/227/EC (5).4.   By derogation from paragraph 1, third indent, Member States shall authorise the importation of meat products consisting of or containing meat of poultry, ratites, farmed and wild feathered game under the condition that the meat of these species has undergone at least one of the specific treatments referred to under points B, C or D in Part IV of Annex II to Commission Decision 2005/432/EC.

The Employment Guidelines of the European Employment Strategy and the Broad Economic Policy Guidelines have been adopted as an integrated package, whereby the European Employment Strategy has the leading role in the implementation of the employment and labour market objectives of the Lisbon Strategy.(2) The examination of the Member States’ National Reform Programmes contained in the Joint Employment Report shows that Member States should continue to make every effort to address the following priority areas: attracting and retaining more people in employment, increasing labour supply and modernising social protection systems; improving adaptability of workers and enterprises; and increasing investment in human capital through better education and skills.(3) In view of the current economic crisis, the guidelines should also serve as a tool for meeting the immediate challenges of increasing unemployment and social exclusion. Policies in the immediate term include integrated flexicurity policies to facilitate the transition to work, matching the unemployed with available jobs, and skills upgrading.(4) In light of the Commission’s examination of the National Reform Programmes, the focus should be on their effective and timely implementation, paying special attention to the agreed targets and benchmarks and the involvement of social partners.(5) The Employment Guidelines were adopted in 2008 with a validity of three years, during which time their updating should be strictly limited.(6) Member States should explore the use of the European Social Fund when implementing the Employment Guidelines.(7) In view of the integrated nature of the guideline package, Member States should fully implement the Broad Economic Policy Guidelines,. The guidelines for Member States’ employment policies as set out in the Annex to Council Decision 2008/618/EC of 15 July 2008 on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States (3) are maintained for 2009 and shall be taken into account by the Member States in their employment policies.

Accordingly, in order to prevent the spread of that disease and contribute to its eradication, the Community should contribute to eligible expenditures incurred by Germany. It is therefore appropriate that a financial contribution from the Community should be granted to Germany under the provisions of Decision 90/424/EEC in order to cover the costs related to the outbreak of avian influenza in 2003.(3) It is necessary to clarify the concepts of ""swift and adequate compensation of the livestock farmers"" and ""destruction, cleaning, disinfection and disinsectisation costs"" used in Article 3 (2) of Decision 90/424/EEC and the concepts of ""reasonable payments"" and ""justified payments"" mentioned in the present Decision.(4) Pursuant to Article 3(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agriculture policy(4), veterinary and plant health measures undertaken in accordance with Community rules are to be financed under the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund.

In parallel, countervailing measures on PET from India have been in place since 2000, and trade defence measures are also in place on imports from China, Iran, Pakistan and UAE.(2) The Expiry Review of these anti-dumping measures was initiated on 24 February 2012. An Expiry Review of the countervailing measures against imports of PET from India was also initiated on 24 February 2012. The Council has accepted the Commission’s proposal to maintain these countervailing measures.(3) According to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 (the Basic anti-dumping Regulation), measures will expire after a period unless expiry of a measure would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury. Article 11(2) also says that the likelihood of recurrence may be indicated by evidence:(a) of continued dumping and injury; or(b) that the removal of injury is partly or solely due to the existence of measures; or(c) that the circumstances of the exporters, or market conditions, are such that they would indicate the likelihood of further injurious dumping.(4) The Council agrees that there is no likelihood that Indonesian or Malaysian exporting producers will resume exporting injurious quantities at dumped prices to the Union market in the short or medium term should measures be repealed.(5) However, the Council view is that the case has not been made that the removal of anti-dumping measures against India, Taiwan and Thailand would be likely to lead to continuation or resumption of injurious dumping. It further concludes that the reimposition of measures would clearly be against the overall Union interest.(6) The Council is of the opinion that 13 years has in this instance been enough to allow European industry to adapt to the global competition and recover substantially. In addition, the main export markets for PET are growing and the global demand for PET-packaged products is likely to expand further as the world economy recovers.(7) The Council’s assessment, based on the evidence in the proposal, is that the EU industry is not currently suffering material injury.(8) The Council has also examined whether the recurrence of material injury would be likely if the measures were allowed to lapse. The Council’s assessment is that this would not be likely to happen. Productivity has increased in the period covered by the Expiry Review. EU industry consistently holds over 70 % of the EU market and prices, profitability, return on investment and cash flow figures are significantly improving. The trends show that the market developments cannot be regarded as temporary.(9) These developments would allow EU producers to compete with the imports from the countries concerned without leading to recurrence of material injury. In addition, import prices have increased significantly during the last number of years and thus price pressure is diminishing.(10) Imports from the countries concerned are not significant in terms of their share of the EU market (still below 4 % in RIP) and in relation to imports from other countries and EU producers sales. In addition, their prices are in line with those of the EU sales and the other imports. Further, according to the data presented, in terms of market shares the measures have been more beneficial to third country producers than the Union industry.(11) The market shares of both Taiwan and Thailand are close to zero. Given that the volumes are so small, the reliability of claims about dumping are likely to be subject to a large margin of error.(12) Where there are imports, import prices have been rising strongly. Indian prices increased 29 %, Taiwan prices increased 27 % and Thailand prices increased 32 % over the period considered. In addition, in all three cases, no price undercutting was found. The Council’s assessment is that it is therefore not possible to justify a conclusion that these imports are causing injury. The Council’s assessment is also that it has not been demonstrated that injurious dumping by imports from the countries concerned would be likely to recur once the measures lapsed.(13) Although there is some overcapacity in the countries concerned, the Council is not persuaded that those unused capacities would be directed to the EU. Demand is growing in most of the major markets.(14) The price level in the EU compared with other countries is higher than in other major markets because these long-lasting measures are in force. Without the measures prices would tend to normalise vis-à-vis other countries. Trade defence measures in third countries are unlikely to deflect significant trade towards the EU because these countries are not the world’s main consumers of PET. No information has been provided on the existence or otherwise of trade defence measures in other major PET markets such as the US and Japan. Therefore the Council believes that although there could be an increase of imports after the lapse of the measures, this increase would not be significant.(15) The Council’s assessment is that no persuasive evidence has been provided on a number of factors which seem relevant to any assessment of whether removal of duties would lead to a resumption of injurious dumping. These include:(a) Demand trends in third countries: in the case of Taiwan, for example, third country exports account for about 60 % of production capacity. This suggests that future demand trends in these countries are relevant to the assessment.(b) Transport costs and other factors affecting profitability: if third country export markets are closer to the exporter than the EU market — East Asia is a significant market — this will affect transport costs and hence profitability of export sales and hence the relative attractiveness of the EU market.(16) Other factors point to the likelihood that removal of measures will not lead to a resumption of dumping which causes material injury to the Union Industry. Continued anti-subsidy measures against India and anti-dumping measures against China and other countries will continue to provide some protection for the Union Industry. The past pattern of trade in this market also suggests that any rise in exports from India, Thailand and Taiwan could partly or wholly displace third country imports rather than EU production.(17) The Council’s assessment is that material injury is unlikely to recur if the measures are allowed to lapse. Therefore the Council finds that the criteria for continuing the measures according to Article 11(2) of the Basic Regulation are not met.(18) Article 21(1) of the Basic Regulation provides that a determination as to whether the Union interest calls for intervention is to be based on an appreciation of all the various interests taken as a whole.(19) PET prices are determined by a number of factors, but it is clear the anti-dumping measures have increased the costs to the user industry. Many users are bottlers and SMEs operating on tight margins and they have been seriously affected by high PET prices in recent years because PET represents a decisive proportion of their production costs. The impact of the high costs has been biggest on smaller bottling companies who have not been able to pass the increased prices on to retailers and final consumers due to low negotiating power. Many are heavily loss-making and have lost a significant number of employees. The proposal recognises the deteriorating situation of users and the fact that EU PET prices are higher than in other major markets. However, in the Council’s opinion, it has not been demonstrated that the measures in question are not a contributing factor to the relatively high Union PET prices.(20) The EU PET industry is now highly concentrated and increasingly vertically integrated. It is profitable and should be able to be internationally competitive.(21) The accumulation of measures combined with the increasing integration of PET producers and PET-packaging companies in the EU creates a situation in which there is a lack of a level playing field for independent PET-packaging companies which are subject to PET at the highest prices worldwide (given the horizontal effect existing on PET prices), while their main competitors in third countries have access to PET at lower prices.(22) PET users have very limited sources of supply outside the EU, because measures are also in force against imports originating in other third countries.(23) The Council concludes that it is clearly not in the interest of the Union to extend the measures as the costs to importers, users and consumers are disproportionate to the benefits for the Union industry.. The proposal for a Council implementing regulation imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain polyethylene terephtalate originating in India, Taiwan and Thailand following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 and terminating the expiry review proceeding concerning imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate originating in Indonesia and Malaysia is rejected, in so far as the proposal would impose a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate originating in India, Taiwan and Thailand. The review proceeding concerning imports of polyethylene terephthalate having a viscosity number of 78 ml/g or higher, according to ISO standard 1628-5, currently falling within CN code 3907 60 20 and originating in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand is terminated.

These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned.(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation or outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available on the one hand, and prices on the international market on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned.(5) In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint.(6) The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination.(7) Tomatoes, oranges, table grapes, apples and peaches of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities.(8) In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to fix the A1 and B export refunds.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables,. 1.   For system A1, the refund rates, the refund application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto.For system B, the indicative refund rates, the licence application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto.2.   The licences issued in respect of food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not count against the eligible quantities in the Annex hereto.

Article 18(4) of that Regulation provides that if the refund on the sugar incorporated in the products listed in Article 1(2)(b) is insufficient to allow exportation of these products the refund set in line with Article 17 thereof shall apply to them.(3) Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 requires that it be ensured that trade flows that have already arisen as a result of granting of export refunds are not disturbed. For that reason the quantities should be set product by product using the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3).(4) Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 requires that when refunds are set account is taken of the existing situation and outlook for prices and availability on the Community market of products processed from fruit and vegetables and for international trade prices, of marketing and transport costs and of the economic aspects of the exportation envisaged.(5) Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 requires that when prices on the Community market are determined account is taken of the prices that are most favourable from the point of view of exportation.(6) The international trade situation or specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to differentiate the refund on a given product by destination.(7) Economically significant exports can at present be made of provisionally preserved cherries, peeled tomatoes, sugar-preserved cherries, prepared hazelnuts and certain orange juices.(8) Export refund rates and quantities should therefore be set for these products.(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,. 1.   Export refund rates in the processed fruit and vegetable sector, periods for lodging and for issuing licence applications and the quantities permitted are stipulated in the Annex hereto.2.   Licences for food aid purposes issued as indicated in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not be counted against the quantities indicated in the Annex hereto.

The reference method is laid down in Chapter I of Annex I to that Regulation. Three methods of detection equivalent to the reference method are laid down in Chapter II of Annex I to that Regulation.(2) Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1245/2007 (3), permits the use of liquid pepsin for the detection of Trichinella in meat and establishes its requirements when used as a reagent in methods of detection. It is therefore appropriate to also provide for identical requirements for the equivalent detection methods, where relevant. Part C of Chapter II of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.(3) In addition, new apparatuses for Trichinella testing using the digestion method equivalent to the reference method started being produced by private companies. Following these developments, guidelines for the validation of new apparatuses for testing of Trichinella by the digestion method were endorsed unanimously during the meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 16 December 2008.(4) In 2010 a new apparatus method for testing of Trichinella in domestic swine was validated by the EU Reference Laboratory for parasites in accordance with those guidelines.(5) Results of the validation show that the new apparatus and related method of detection of Trichinella, validated under the code of the EU Reference Laboratory, No EURLP_D_001/2011 (4), is equivalent to the reference method as laid down in Chapter I of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005. Therefore, it should be included in the list of equivalent methods of detection listed in Chapter II of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005.(6) Chapter II of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,.

It constitutes a distinct cask aged product distilled from cider made exclusively from apples grown in that county.(2) The application to register the name ‘Somerset Cider Brandy’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2) for the purposes of the objection procedure, in accordance with Article 17(6) of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008.(3) Spain submitted an objection to the registration of ‘Somerset Cider Brandy’ on the ground that Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 provides that a spirit drink that meets the specifications for a product defined in categories 1 to 46 of Annex II to that Regulation has to bear the sales denomination assigned in that Annex. In particular, point 10 of Annex II defines ‘cider spirit’ as a spirit drink produced through distillation of cider, and point 5 of that Annex defines ‘brandy’ as a spirit drink produced from wine spirit. Further, it was claimed that the use of the term ‘brandy’ as part of a geographical indication related to a cider spirit would mislead the consumer as to the true nature of the product.(4) ‘Somerset Cider Brandy’ is well established in the United Kingdom and has been known to consumers as ‘cider brandy’ for a significant period of time. It enjoys a high reputation and forms an essential part of the heritage of the county of Somerset. To require producers to modify the use of the term would not be proportionate to the objective of reserving the term ‘brandy’ only to wine spirits because it would cause prejudice to the regional economy of the county of Somerset while it would not correspond to the expectations of the consumers concerned, who are familiar with that type of beverage.(5) ‘Somerset Cider Brandy’ is not well known in the rest of the Union. To make the consumer aware of the true nature of the product in all Member States, thus avoiding any risk of confusion, the obligation to put the corresponding sales denomination ‘cider spirit’ on the label should be laid down. In the light of the above, the name ‘Somerset Cider Brandy’ should be registered as a geographical indication in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008.(6) The geographical indication ‘Herbal vodka from the North Podlasie Lowland aromatised with an extract of bison grass/Wódka ziołowa z Niziny Północnopodlaskiej aromatyzowana ekstraktem z trawy żubrowej’ is registered in product category 15 of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008, corresponding to ‘vodka’. However, the appropriate classification for this product, according to its specifications, should be ‘flavoured vodka’. Therefore, a new product category 31 ‘flavoured vodka’ should be inserted for this geographical indication in Annex III to that Regulation.(7) The geographical indication ‘Irish Cream’ is registered in product category 32 of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 as originating in Ireland. It is necessary to clarify that such geographical indication also covers the corresponding product manufactured in Northern Ireland.(8) Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.(9) To facilitate the transition from the rules provided for in Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 to those in this Regulation, the marketing of existing stocks should be foreseen until they run out and the use of labels printed before the date of entry into force of this Regulation should be allowed until 31 December 2012.(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Spirit Drinks,. Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 is amended as follows:(1) in product category 10 ‘Cider spirit and perry spirit’, the following entry is added:‘Somerset Cider Brandy (3) United Kingdom(2) in product category 15 ‘Vodka’, the following sixth entry is deleted:‘Herbal vodka from the North Podlasie Lowland aromatised with an extract of bison grass/Wódka ziołowa z Niziny Północnopodlaskiej aromatyzowana ekstraktem z trawy żubrowej Poland’(3) after product category 30 ‘Bitter-tasting spirit drinks/bitter’, the following entry related to product category 31 ‘Flavoured vodka’ is inserted:Flavoured vodkaHerbal vodka from the North Podlasie Lowland aromatised with an extract of bison grass/Wódka ziołowa z Niziny Północnopodlaskiej aromatyzowana ekstraktem z trawy żubrowej Poland’(4) in product category 32, the entry related to ‘Irish Cream’ is replaced by the following:‘Irish Cream (4) Ireland Spirit drinks not meeting the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 as amended by Article 1 of this Regulation may continue to be placed on the market until stocks run out.Labels printed before the date of entry into force of this Regulation may continue to be used until 31 December 2012.
