COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 783/2007

of 25 June 2007

granting derogations to Bulgaria and Romania from certain provisions of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 relating to reference levels of fishing fleets

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 56 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (1) provides that reference levels are to be established for each Member State’s fleet as the sum of the objectives per segment of the Multiannual Guidance Programme 1997-2002. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (1) provides that reference levels are to be established for each Member State’s fleet as the sum of the objectives per segment of the Multiannual Guidance Programme 1997-2002.

| (2) | Bulgaria and Romania do not have objectives as referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Bulgaria and Romania do not have objectives as referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002.

| (3) | Reference levels could be established for those Member States only by reference to the level of their fleets at the time of accession. But, if that was the case, the obligations provided for in Article 11(2) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 would be superfluous, since they would overlap with the obligations arising from the entry/exit scheme provided for in Article 13 of that Regulation. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Reference levels could be established for those Member States only by reference to the level of their fleets at the time of accession. But, if that was the case, the obligations provided for in Article 11(2) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 would be superfluous, since they would overlap with the obligations arising from the entry/exit scheme provided for in Article 13 of that Regulation.

| (4) | It is therefore not appropriate to fix the reference levels provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 for Bulgaria and Romania, nor to apply Article 11(2) and (4) of that Regulation to them, since that would not have any effect on the management of the fleet by those Member States. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

It is therefore not appropriate to fix the reference levels provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 for Bulgaria and Romania, nor to apply Article 11(2) and (4) of that Regulation to them, since that would not have any effect on the management of the fleet by those Member States.

| (5) | Accordingly, derogations should be granted to Bulgaria and Romania from those provisions of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, |
| --- | --- |

(5)

Accordingly, derogations should be granted to Bulgaria and Romania from those provisions of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

By way of derogation, Articles 11(2) and (4) and Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 shall not apply to Bulgaria and Romania.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from 1 January 2007.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 785/2007

of 4 July 2007

concerning the authorisation of 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 (Phyzyme XP 5000G Phyzyme XP 5000L) as a feed additive

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.

| (2) | In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. 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 a new use of the preparation of 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 produced by Schizosaccharomyces pombe (ATCC 5233) (Phyzyme XP 5000G Phyzyme XP 5000L), as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, laying hens, ducks for fattening, piglets (weaned), pigs for fattening, and sows to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The application concerns the authorisation of a new use of the preparation of 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 produced by Schizosaccharomyces pombe (ATCC 5233) (Phyzyme XP 5000G Phyzyme XP 5000L), as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, laying hens, ducks for fattening, piglets (weaned), pigs for fattening, and sows to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

| (4) | The use of 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 produced by Schizosaccharomyces pombe (ATCC 5233) was authorised without a time limit for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1743/2006 (2). |
| --- | --- |

(4)

The use of 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 produced by Schizosaccharomyces pombe (ATCC 5233) was authorised without a time limit for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1743/2006 (2).

| (5) | New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation for chickens for fattening, turkeys for fattening, laying hens, ducks for fattening, piglets (weaned), pigs for fattening, and sows. The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 17 October 2006 that the preparation 6-phytase EC 3.1.3.26 produced by Schizosaccharomyces pombe (ATCC 5233) (Phyzyme XP 5000G Phyzyme XP 5000L) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (3). 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. According to that opinion, the use of that preparation does not have an adverse effect on these additional animal categories. 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 submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. |

| (27) | The authorities of the Kyrgyz Republic have provided the Commission with evidence of the withdrawal of the Air Operator's Certificates of the following air carriers: British Gulf International Airlines FEZ and Kyrgyz General Aviation. Since these carriers certified in the Kyrgyz Republic have consequently ceased their activities, they should be withdrawn from Annex A. |

These measures led in all cases to immediate positive reactions. The results of the visit also showed that any positive developments still need to become sustainable solutions and lead to the introduction of fully fledged internal safety systems. The competent authorities of the Russian Federation decided on 27 April 2007 and informed thereof the Commission on 2 May 2007 to lift the restrictions on the following six air carriers: Aero Rent, Gazpromavia, Lukoil, Tatarstan, Atlant Soyuz and Aviacon Zitotrans. The carriers Centre Avia and Russian Sky (Russkoe Nebo) remain as per the same decision under the operating restrictions; furthermore, the pre-flight authorisation system has been extended to also cover the regular flights operated by UTAir. |

| (55) | With regard to the exercise of oversight obligations by the competent authorities of the Russian Federation, the results of the visit show that they have to accelerate further their work to bring the Russian safety rules in line with ICAO standards and that they should concentrate on the implementation of these standards and the recommendations of the last ICAO safety audit. Moreover, they should intensify their cooperation with Russian manufacturers to ensure compliance of Russian designed aircraft with ICAO standards. This appears also necessary to avoid double standards applying to airworthiness inside the Russian Federation — one for operators and aircraft flying to the Community, and a second (lower) standard for operators and aircraft operating inside the Russian Federation or the CIS. Furthermore, the competent authorities should further increase their efforts with regard to continued airworthiness and ensure that Western built aircraft increasingly acquired and operated by Russian carriers are adequately maintained by the companies concerned. |

To that end, the Commission intends to carry out a visit with the assistance of Member States before the next update of the present Regulation. Member States should ensure the verification of effective compliance with relevant safety standards through systematic ramp inspections on all operations of these carriers.

General considerations concerning carriers which have ceased activities

| (64) | As carriers removed from the list due to declared cessation of activities may reappear with another identity or nationality, the Commission should actively continue to monitor any transfers and moves related to these entities. |

As carriers removed from the list due to declared cessation of activities may reappear with another identity or nationality, the Commission should actively continue to monitor any transfers and moves related to these entities.

General considerations concerning the other carriers included in the list

| (65) | No evidence of the full implementation of appropriate remedial actions by the other carriers included in the Community list updated on 5 March 2007 and by the authorities with responsibility for regulatory oversight of these air carriers has been communicated to the Commission so far in spite of specific requests submitted by the latter. Therefore, on the basis of the common criteria, it is assessed that these air carriers should continue to be subject to an operating ban. |

DECISION No 1/2007 OF THE ACP-EC COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

of 25 May 2007

on reassigning part of the reserve of the Ninth European Development Fund (EDF) envelope for long-term development to the allocation for intra-ACP cooperation in the Ninth EDF envelope for regional cooperation and integration

(2007/460/EC)

THE ACP-EC COUNCIL OF MINISTERS,

Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1) as revised by the Agreement (2) amending the said ACP-EC Partnership Agreement, signed in Luxembourg on 25 June 2005, and in particular paragraph 8 of Annex I thereto,

Whereas:

| (1) | Following the completion of the Ninth European Development Fund (EDF) end-of-term review in accordance with Articles 5 and 11 of Annex IV of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement, the resource allocation should be revised in the light of current needs and performance. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Following the completion of the Ninth European Development Fund (EDF) end-of-term review in accordance with Articles 5 and 11 of Annex IV of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement, the resource allocation should be revised in the light of current needs and performance.

| (2) | The funds reserved for the financing of support for regional cooperation and integration and the expected decommitments transferred to this reserve before the end of 2007 are insufficient to meet new needs for increasing the impact of intra-ACP activities. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The funds reserved for the financing of support for regional cooperation and integration and the expected decommitments transferred to this reserve before the end of 2007 are insufficient to meet new needs for increasing the impact of intra-ACP activities.

| (3) | Additional funds should be allocated to set up an intra-ACP funding mechanism for FLEX for each of the years 2006 and 2007 (application years 2005 and 2006 respectively), thereby ensuring minimal support to those countries subject to the adverse effects of instability in export earnings regardless of the level of the uncommitted balances under their national B-envelopes. |

Additional funds should be allocated to set up an intra-ACP funding mechanism for FLEX for each of the years 2006 and 2007 (application years 2005 and 2006 respectively), thereby ensuring minimal support to those countries subject to the adverse effects of instability in export earnings regardless of the level of the uncommitted balances under their national B-envelopes.

| (4) | The uncommitted balances of the national B-envelopes may not cover expected needs and should be transferred to the intra-ACP reserve at the date of adoption of this Decision, to create five regionalised B-envelopes to finance future humanitarian and emergency assistance in each of these regions, based on regional solidarity, and an intra-ACP reserve for emergency assistance under Article 72(3)(a) and (b) of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement in exceptional circumstances where such assistance cannot be financed from the Community budget. |

| (5) | The regionalised B-envelope for Eastern and Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean is a net amount after the deduction of EUR 20 million to compensate for the ad hoc increase in the B-envelope of Sudan funded out of the long-term development reserve; no regionalised B-envelope is being set up for the Pacific as the balances of the B-envelopes have already been used to a large extent for a regional natural disaster mitigation programme. |
