Commission Regulation (EC) No 1470/2003
of 20 August 2003
on import licences in respect of beef and veal products originating in Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 of 10 December 2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1706/98(1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1918/98 provides for the possibility of issuing import licences for beef and veal products. However, imports must take place within the limits of the quantities specified for each of these exporting non-member countries.
(2) The applications for import licences submitted between 1 and 10 August 2003, expressed in terms of boned meat, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1918/98, do not exceed, in respect of products originating from Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia, the quantities available from those States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2233/2000
of 9 October 2000
fixing the intervention thresholds for oranges, satsumas, mandarins and clementines for the 2000/01 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(2), and in particular Article 27(1) and (2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides for an intervention threshold to be fixed if the market in a product listed in Annex II thereto is suffering or at risk of suffering from imbalances giving or liable to give rise to too large a volume of withdrawals.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2080/1999(3) fixes an intervention threshold for oranges, satsumas, mandarins and clementines for the 1999/2000 marketing year. As the conditions laid down in Article 27 continue to be met, intervention thresholds should be again set for oranges, satsumas, mandarins and clementines.
(3) This intervention threshold for each of those products should be fixed on the basis of a percentage of the average production intended for consumption in the fresh state over the last five marketing years for which data are available. The period to be taken into account for assessing the overrun of the intervention threshold must also be established for each product in question.
(4) Under Article 27 an overrun of the intervention threshold gives rise to a reduction in the Community withdrawal in the marketing year following the overrun. The implications of this overrun for each of the products in question should be determined and a reduction proportional to the size of the overrun should be fixed, up to a certain percentage.
(5) The Management Committee for fresh Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The following intervention thresholds are fixed for the 2000/01 marketing year:
TABLE
Article 2
The overrun of the intervention threshold for the products listed in Article 1 shall be assessed on the basis of the withdrawals carried out between 1 August 2000 and 31 July 2001.
Article 3
If the quantity of one of the products listed in Article 1 withdrawn in the period laid down in Article 2 exceeds the threshold fixed in Article 1, the Community withdrawal compensation fixed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the 2001/02 marketing year shall be reduced in proportion to the size of the overrun compared with the production used to calculate the threshold in question.
Article 4
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 April 2006
relating to a proceeding pursuant to Article 81 of the EC Treaty
(Case COMP/B-1/38.348 - Repsol CPP)
(notified under document number C(2006) 1548)
(Only the Spanish text is authentic)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/446/EC)
On 12 April 2006 the Commission adopted a decision pursuant to Article 9(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 (1). A non-confidential version of the integral text of the decision in the authentic language as well as the working languages of the Commission is available on the Competition Directorate-General website at the following address: http://europa.eu.int/comm/competition/antitrust/cases/index/by_nr_76.html#i38_348
(1)
This decision is addressed to Repsol Comercial de Productos Petroliferos, incorporated in Madrid, Spain (hereafter Repsol CPP), a company belonging to the Repsol-YPF oil group. The subject matter of the procedure is the supply of fuel to service stations in Spain and the conclusion, by Repsol CPP, of long-term exclusive supply agreements with service stations. In its preliminary assessment, the Commission considered that the non-compete clauses in the agreements notified by Repsol CPP, and in particular in the agreements of the DODO (2), tenancy and usufruct type, raised concerns under Article 81 of the EC Treaty insofar as they might create a significant foreclosure effect on the fuel retail market in Spain.
(2)
The Commission considers that the commitments offered by Repsol CPP are sufficient to address the identified competition concerns. In particular, Repsol CPP undertakes to offer to service stations concerned a concrete financial incentive to terminate the existing long-term supply agreements and to refrain from concluding further long-term exclusivity agreements. Further, Repsol CPP undertakes to refrain from buying independent DODO stations that it is not supplying. Accordingly, wholesale supply to a large number of service stations will be opened to competition.
(3)
The decision finds, in view of the commitments made binding on Repsol CPP, that there are no longer grounds for action by the Commission.
(4)
The Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions issued a favourable opinion on 27 March 2006.

(1999/331/EC)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
Having regard to Article 29 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter referred to as the "Statute"),
Whereas Article 2 of the ECB Decision of 9 June 1998 (ECB/1998/1)(1) on the method to be applied for determining the national central banks' percentage shares in the key for the capital of the European Central Bank stipulates that the key may be revised before the start of Stage Three in the event that the Commission provides revised statistical data to be used for the determination of the key before December 1998 which would result in a change of 0,01 % or more in an NCB's share;
Whereas revised statistical data to be used for the determination of the key were provided by the Commission of the European Communities in November 1998 in accordance with the rules adopted by the EU Council on 5 June 1998(2);
Whereas the weightings of the national central banks (NCBs) in the key have to be adjusted as the revised data result in a change of 0,01 % or more in an NCB's share;
Whereas, in the event that the figures provided by the Commission of the European Communities do not sum to 100 %, the deviation shall be accommodated by adding 0,0001 percentage point, in ascending order, to the smallest share(s) until exactly 100 % is reached, if the initial total were below 100 %,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The weightings of the NCBs in the key referred to in Article 29.1 of the Statute shall be as follows:
TABLE
Article 2
1. This Decision shall replace the ECB Decision of 9 June 1998 on the method to be applied for determining the national central banks' percentage shares in the key for the caital of the European Central Bank (ECB/1998/1).

The Executive Board of the European Central Bank is hereby empowered to take all necessary measures to effect adjustments of the amounts which have already been paid by the NCBs under the ECB Decision of 9 June 1998 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the capital of the European Central Bank (ECB/1998/2).
3. This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee;

Article 2
No Member State may refuse to grant EEC type approval or national type approval of a vehicle on grounds relating to its doors if these satisfy the requirements set out in the Annexes.
Article 3
The amendments necessary for adjusting the requirements of the Annex so as to take account of technical progress shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of the Council Directive of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type approval of motor vehicles and their trailers.
Article 4
1. Member States shall put into force the provisions containing the requirements needed in order to comply with this Directive within eighteen months of its notification and shall inform the Commission forthwith.
