COMMISSION OPINION

of 27 November 2008

in application of Article 7 of Directive 98/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards a prohibition measure adopted by the Hungarian authorities in respect of an electric planer bearing the trademark STRAUS AUSTRIA MD-2007-141

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2008/C 306/01)

1.   The notification by the Hungarian authorities

Article 2(1) of Directive 98/37/EC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to machinery states that Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that machinery covered by the Directive may be placed on the market and put into service only if it does not endanger the health and safety of persons and, where appropriate, domestic animals or property, when properly installed and maintained and used for its intended purpose.

Article 7(1) of the Directive provides that where a Member State ascertains that machinery bearing the EC marking used in accordance with its intended purpose is liable to endanger the safety of persons, and, where appropriate, domestic animals or property, it shall take all appropriate measures to withdraw such machinery from the market, to prohibit the placing on the market, putting into service or use thereof, or to restrict free movement thereof. The Member State shall immediately inform the Commission of any such measure, indicating the reason for its decision.

On 4 September 2007, the Hungarian authorities notified to the European Commission a prohibition measure concerning the placing on the market of a hand-held portable electric planer bearing the trademark STRAUS AUSTRIA, of the type ST/PL 821-902. The manufacturer of the machinery is Jiangsu Jinding Electric Tools Group Co. Ltd, Huangli Town, Changzhou, Jiangsu, 213151, China and the machinery was distributed by Superline Hungary Kft., H-1162 Budapest, Csömöri út 269 and by Dimension Europe Kft., H-1173 Budapest, Újlak u. 21. 5. em. 50.

The file transmitted to the European Commission included the following documents:

| — | Certificate No AM50046679 0001 dated 29 July 2004 and Certificate No S 50045577 dated 29 July 2004 issued by TÜV Rheinland Product Safety GmbH, Am Grauen Stein, D-51105 Cologne, for an electric planer type DB-82X2A granting the ‘GS’ mark for the electric planer, |

—

an EC Declaration of Conformity drawn up by Superline Hungary Kft. dated 5 July 2006 referring to Certificate No S 50045677.

Pursuant to Article 7(2) of the Directive, the Commission is required, after consulting the parties concerned, to declare whether it finds such a measure justified or not. If the measure is found justified, the Commission shall inform the Member States so that they can take all appropriate measures with respect to the machinery concerned, in accordance with their obligations under Article 2(1).

2.   The reasons given by the Hungarian authorities

The measure taken by the Hungarian authorities was founded on the failure of the electric planer to comply with the following essential health and safety requirements of Annex I to Directive 98/37/EC (with reference to the specifications of the harmonised European standard EN 60745-1:2003 ‘Hand-held motor-operated electric tools — Safety — Part 1: General requirements’ and EN 60745-2-14 ‘Hand-held motor-operated electric tools — Safety — Part 2-14: Particular requirements for planers’, which are referred to in the manufacturer's EC Declaration of Conformity).

1.5.1.   Electricity supply

Insufficient electric strength of reinforced insulation: flashover occurred between the accessible metal parts and live parts at a voltage level below the prescribed threshold, thus posing the risk of electric shock.

1.5.6.   Fire

During the thermal test the machinery caught fire, emitted smoke and flame then stopped.

1.7.3.   Marking

The identification mark, the name and address of the manufacturer and, the year of manufacture were not indicated on the planer.

1.7.4.   Instructions

The instructions did not contain the name and address of the manufacturer nor several instructions required for the safe operation of the machinery, such as electricity safety rules, etc.

3.   The commission's opinion

On 15 November 2007, the Commission wrote to Jiangsu Jinding Electric Tools Group Co., Superline Hungary Kft. who signed the EC Declaration of Conformity, and Dimension Europe Kft., inviting them to communicate their observations regarding the measure taken by the Hungarian authorities.

On 15 November 2007, the Commission also wrote to TÜV Rheinland, Cologne, that had issued a conformity certificate No AM 50046679 0001 for an electric planer type DB-82X2A which was claimed to be equivalent to electric planer type ST/PL 821-902 subject to the Hungarian measure.

On 3 December 2007, TÜV Rheinland replied confirming that they had issued a conformity certificate for the electric planer type DB-82X2A and stating that the certificate was only valid until March 2007. They could not confirm that the electric planer type ST/PL 821-902 was equivalent to the electric planer type DB-82X2A and stated they had not tested or certified the type ST/PL 821-902.

On 6 December 2007, Jiangsu Jinding Electric Tools Group Co. replied stating that their electric planer and the planer subject to the Hungarian measure were not identical and the that the planer subject to the Hungarian measure was not manufactured by them. They stated that they were considering legal action against those misusing their name.

In light of the documentation available and the comments of the parties concerned, the Commission considers that the Hungarian authorities have demonstrated that the machinery subject to the restrictive measure fails to comply with the essential health and safety requirements referred to above. These non-conformities give rise to serious risks for persons using the machinery in question.

Consequently, having followed the required procedure, the Commission is of the opinion that the measure taken by the Hungarian authorities is justified.

Done at Brussels, 27 November 2008.

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2008/C 306/02)

1.   The notification by the Hungarian authorities

Article 2(1) of Directive 98/37/EC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to machinery states that Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that machinery covered by the Directive may be placed on the market and put into service only if it does not endanger the health and safety of persons and, where appropriate, domestic animals or property, when properly installed and maintained and used for its intended purpose.

Article 7(1) of the Directive provides that where a Member State ascertains that machinery bearing the EC marking used in accordance with its intended purpose is liable to endanger the safety of persons, and, where appropriate, domestic animals or property, it shall take all appropriate measures to withdraw such machinery from the market, to prohibit the placing on the market, putting into service or use thereof, or to restrict free movement thereof. The Member State shall immediately inform the Commission of any such measure, indicating the reason for its decision.

On 23 July 2007, the Hungarian authorities notified to the European Commission a prohibition measure concerning the placing on the market of a hand-held portable electric angle grinder bearing the trademark MANS FRIEND, of the type MF 125-110. The machinery was manufactured by Jinhua Max-power Tools Co., Ltd, Western Binhong Road 558, section 2, Jinhua Industrial Area, Zhejing, China, and distributed by Baumann Hungary Kft., H-1162 Budapest, János utca 118.

The file transmitted to the European Commission included the following documents:

If the measure is found justified, the Commission shall inform the Member States so that they can take all appropriate measures with respect to the machinery concerned, in accordance with their obligations under Article 2(1).

2.   The reasons given by the Hungarian authorities

The measure taken by the Hungarian authorities was founded on the failure of the angle grinder to comply with the following essential health and safety requirements of Annex I to Directive 98/37/EC (with reference to the specifications of the harmonised European standard EN 50144-1:1998 Safety of hand-held electric motor operated tools — Part 1: General requirements and EN 50144-2-3:2002 Safety of hand-held electric motor operated tools — Part 2-3: Particular requirements for grinders, disk type sanders and polishers, which are referred to in the manufacturer's EC Declaration of Conformity).

1.5.1.   Electricity supply

The internal wiring was unfixed, thus posing the risk of electric shock.

1.5.6.   Risk of fire

During the thermal test the machinery caught fire, emitted smoke then stopped.

1.7.4.   Instructions

The majority of the general safety instructions as well as the specific instructions for angle grinder were missing from the instructions for use.

1.7.3.   Marking

The manufacturer and the year of manufacture were not indicated on the angle grinder.

3.   The Commission's opinion

On 15 November 2007, the Commission wrote to Jinhua Max-power Tools Co. and Baumann Hungary Kft., who signed the EC Declaration of Conformity, inviting them to communicate their observations regarding the measure taken by the Hungarian authorities.

On 15 November 2007, the Commission also wrote to Intertek ETL SEMKO, Shanghai and Intertek Deutschland GmbH that had issued conformity certificates for the angle grinder type S1M-MP6-125 which was claimed to be equivalent to the angle grinder type MF 125-110 subject to the Hungarian measure.

To date, no response has been received from Baumann Hungary Kft., from Intertek ETL SEMKO or from Intertek Deutschland GmbH.

In a reply dated 19 December 2007, Jinhua Max-power Tools Co. stated that they had never manufactured or supplied an angle grinder under the trademark ‘Mans Friend’. They further stated that the Chinese authorities were investigating the file but had not established who had misused their certificates and name.

In light of the documentation available and the comments of the parties concerned, the Commission considers that the Hungarian authorities have demonstrated that the machinery subject to the restrictive measure fails to comply with the essential health and safety requirements referred to above. These non-conformities give rise to serious risks for persons using the machinery in question.

Consequently, having followed the required procedure, the Commission is of the opinion that the measure taken by the Hungarian authorities is justified.

Information communicated by Member States regarding State aid granted under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty to State aid to small and medium-sized enterprises active in the production of agricultural products and amending Regulation (EC) No 70/2001

(2008/C 306/05)

Aid No: XA 298/08

Member State: France

Regions: Département de l'Isère

Title of aid scheme: Aide au remplacement des nouveaux exploitants agricoles

Legal basis:

| — | Article 15(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006, |

Article 15(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006,

—

Articles L 1511-1 et suivants et articles L 3231-1 et suivants du code général des collectivités territoriales

Annual expenditure planned under the scheme: EUR 40 000

Maximum aid intensity: 50 % of the daily cost of replacing a farmer, subject to a limit of EUR 134 per day and 14 days per year

Date of implementation: From the date of publication of the registration number of the request for exemption on the website of the Commission's Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development

Duration of aid scheme or individual aid: Until 31 December 2013

Objective of aid: Replacement is a solution that allows farmers whose activity requires on-farm presence every day of the year to have a work and life pattern comparable to other economic sectors.

Nevertheless, except for cases where this option is funded (by private insurance covering maternity, accidents or illness), the cost of this service is a disincentive.

This scheme will therefore aim to encourage recently established farmers to take advantage of the replacement service should they be absent from their farm on account of illness or holidays, in accordance with Article 15(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006.

A reduction in the cost of providing a replacement should encourage them to take advantage of this technical assistance.

The aid will not be paid to the farmers, but to the providers of the replacement service

Sector(s) concerned: All sectors of agricultural production

The scheme will cover the whole department and all new farmers whose principal activity requires on-farm presence every day of the year, throughout the first three years after they take up farming

Annual expenditure under the scheme or overall amount of individual aid granted to the company: EUR 2,5 million

Maximum aid intensity: Up to 100 %

Date of implementation: From the date of publication of the registration number of the exemption on the website of the Commission's Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development

Duration of scheme or individual aid award: Up to 31 December 2013

Objective of aid: In accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006, the aid is intended to compensate for the damage caused by Plum pox (Sharka) and Fireblight (Erwinia) to fruit growers and nurseries where the presence of infected plants has been officially confirmed. In Decision SG (2001) D/289300 of 20 June 2001, the European Commission expressed the opinion that the aid could be used for the clearance and replanting of stone fruit trees and rose trees affected by these diseases.

The Region of Lombardy has adopted mandatory control measures provided for by Community and national legislation, in order to combat the spread of Sharka and Erwinia, in implementation of the provisions of the Ministry of Agricultural and Forestry Policies (Decree of 29 November 1996 and Decree No 356 of 10 September 1999). In spite of this, outbreaks of these diseases have continued, making it necessary to launch the present programme of regional measures.

The agricultural enterprises which are eligible for aid for production improvement are those which:

have implemented the mandatory control measures provided for by the Order issued by the competent Regional structure and the clearance or destruction of apricot, sour cherry, sweet cherry, quince, apple, pear and plum trees and their grafting stocks,

have not already received subsidies for the same purposes and lots, including from other public authorities, under other subsidised insurance schemes,

and undertake to replant the lots of land to be cleared, within 12 months, with fruit trees (in numbers or over a surface area equal to that of the plants cleared; and respecting the plant health provisions) of one or more of the following species (even if different from those cleared): actinidia (actinidia spp.), apricot (prunus armeniaca), sour cherry (prunus cerasus), sweet cherry (prunus avium), quince (cydonia oblonga), persimmon (diospyros kaki), apple (malus domestica), pear (pyrus communis), peach (prunus persica), plum (prunus domestica and prunus salicina); if, due to plant health provisions, it is not possible to replant the area with species susceptible to the disease found and, for reasons linked to the production specialisation of the holding, it is not possible to use one of the alternative species listed above, the subsidy is reduced to 80 %.

The amount of the subsidy is calculated on the basis of the criteria set out in Law No 206 of 1 July 1997 and Law No 307 of 17 August 1999, which differentiate between nurseries and fruit growers and, in the case of the latter, take account of the age of the plantation. In calculating the amount of aid, any amounts received under insurance schemes and those incurred for reasons other than plant health reasons will be deducted

Sector(s) concerned: Agricultural holdings: fruit growers and nurseries
