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. As from the notification of this Directive, Member States shall communicate to the Commission the main provisions of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive. 3This Directive is addressed to the Member States..

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.

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 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 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,.

It provides that food business operators are to comply with the structural requirements based on those principles. Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (3) supplements the rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004. The rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 include specific requirements for meat and milk processing establishments.(2) According to the results of a Food and Veterinary Office (FVO) mission to Bulgaria carried out from 27 November 2006 to 1 December 2006 certain processing establishments in the meat and milk sectors do not comply with the provisions of Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004.(3) Furthermore, the current traceability system in Bulgaria is not sufficient to cover the needs of the situation in Bulgaria under conditions where meat coming from third countries and meat obtained in Bulgaria before 1 January 2007, and raw milk in Bulgaria, which do not comply with the requirements of those Regulations, are on the territory of Bulgaria.(4) Taking into account the current situation in Bulgaria, it is appropriate to provide for transitional measures as regards certain products of the meat and milk sectors.(5) During the transitional period the situation of all processing establishments in the meat and milk sectors has to be assessed in view to ensure the completion of the upgrading process of certain establishments to be in compliance with Community requirements. Furthermore the traceability system has to be improved to meet Community standards.(6) During the transitional period, it is necessary to provide for a prohibition on the dispatch of certain products of the meat and milk sectors from Bulgaria to other Member States. However, it is appropriate to provide for a derogation for certain processing establishments authorised under Community legislation to export those products to the Community before 1 January 2007, in the light of guarantees available for those establishments.(7) The transitional period provided for in this Decision should be limited to one year. The situation of the meat and milk sectors in Bulgaria is to be reviewed before the end of that period, in particular in view of the results of new FVO inspections to be carried out in January 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,. This Decision shall apply to products of the meat and milk sectors covered by the following Sections of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004:(a) Section I (meat of domestic ungulates);(b) Section II (meat from poultry and lagomorphs);(c) Section III (meat of farmed game);(d) Section IV (wild game meat);(e) Section V (minced meat, meat preparations and mechanically separated meat);(f) Section VI (meat products); and(g) Section IX (raw milk and dairy products). 1.   The products referred to Article 1 (‘the products’) shall not be dispatched from Bulgaria to other Member States.2.   Member States shall ensure, in accordance with Directive 89/662/EEC and in particular Article 3 thereof, that the products are not traded between Member States.

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,.

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’.

Those surveys should investigate the presence of infections in poultry, which could lead to a review of current legislation and contribute to the knowledge of the possible threats for animals and humans from the wildlife.(3) Programmes submitted by Member States have been examined by the Commission in accordance with that Decision.(4) However, following the recent evolution of the avian influenza situation in Asia an expert group meetings convened on 25 August 2005 and 6 September 2005 concluded that taking into account the existing knowledge on the migratory routes of the species of birds proceeding from central and western Asia, it is appropriate to improve surveillance in wild birds and surveillance on living or hunted birds as well as passive surveillance on wild birds found dead. 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.

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.
