THE EUROPEAN UNION, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Union’

of the one part, and

THE REPUBLIC OF CAPE VERDE, hereinafter referred to as ‘Cape Verde’,

of the other part,

hereinafter referred to as ‘the Parties’,

NOTING that bilateral air service agreements have been concluded between several Member States of the Union and Cape Verde containing provisions contrary to the law of the Union,

NOTING that the Union has exclusive competence with respect to several aspects that may be included in bilateral air service agreements between Member States of the Union and third countries,

NOTING that, under the law of the Union, Union air carriers established in a Member State of the Union have the right to non-discriminatory access to air routes between the Member States of the Union and third countries,

HAVING REGARD to the agreements between the Union and certain third countries providing for the possibility for the nationals of such third countries to acquire ownership in air carriers licensed in accordance with the law of the Union,

RECOGNISING that certain provisions of the bilateral air service agreements between Member States of the Union and Cape Verde, which are contrary to the law of the Union, must be brought into conformity with it in order to establish a sound legal basis for air services between the Union and Cape Verde and to preserve the continuity of such air services,

RECOGNISING that in the conclusion of any air services agreements by the Government of the Republic of Cape Verde with States that are not Member States of the Union, Cape Verde implements its own policy and rules on air carriers ownership and control,

RECOGNISING that provisions in bilateral air service agreements concluded between Member States of the Union and Cape Verde which (i) require or favour the adoption of agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings or concerted practices that prevent, distort or restrict competition between air carriers on the relevant routes; or (ii) reinforce the effects of any such agreement, decision or concerted practice; or (iii) delegate to air carriers or other private economic operators the responsibility for taking measures that prevent, distort or restrict competition between air carriers on the relevant routes may render ineffective the competition rules applicable to undertakings,

NOTING that it is not a purpose of the Union, as part of this Agreement, to increase the total volume of air traffic between the Union and Cape Verde, to affect the balance between Union air carriers and air carriers of Cape Verde, or to negotiate amendments to the provisions of existing bilateral air service agreements concerning traffic rights.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 344/2011

of 8 April 2011

amending Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products with regard to organic production, labelling and control

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (1), and in particular Article 25(3), Article 38(b) and Article 40 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 lays down that the organic production logo of the European Union (‘organic logo of the EU’) is one of the compulsory indications to be used as regards pre-packaged food bearing terms referring to the organic production method as referred to in Article 23(1), while the use of the logo is optional for these products imported from third countries. Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 allows the use of the organic logo of the EU in the labelling, presentation and advertising of other products which satisfy the requirements set out under that Regulation. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 lays down that the organic production logo of the European Union (‘organic logo of the EU’) is one of the compulsory indications to be used as regards pre-packaged food bearing terms referring to the organic production method as referred to in Article 23(1), while the use of the logo is optional for these products imported from third countries. Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 allows the use of the organic logo of the EU in the labelling, presentation and advertising of other products which satisfy the requirements set out under that Regulation.

| (2) | Consumers should be assured that organic products have been produced in compliance with the requirements set out in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (2). To that end, the traceability of each product carrying the organic logo of the EU at all stages of production, preparation and distribution is an important factor. Therefore, it appears useful that it should be stated more clearly that only operators who have submitted their undertaking to the organic farming control system may use the organic logo of the EU for labelling purposes. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Consumers should be assured that organic products have been produced in compliance with the requirements set out in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (2). To that end, the traceability of each product carrying the organic logo of the EU at all stages of production, preparation and distribution is an important factor. Therefore, it appears useful that it should be stated more clearly that only operators who have submitted their undertaking to the organic farming control system may use the organic logo of the EU for labelling purposes.

| (3) | The registration of the organic logo of the EU as a trademark in the Union and international registers is independent from the rules of Regulations (EC) No 834/2007 and (EC) No 889/2008 which apply to the use of the logo itself. In order to make clear the independence of those rules, the link between those rules and any registration should be removed. |

(3)

The registration of the organic logo of the EU as a trademark in the Union and international registers is independent from the rules of Regulations (EC) No 834/2007 and (EC) No 889/2008 which apply to the use of the logo itself. In order to make clear the independence of those rules, the link between those rules and any registration should be removed.

| (4) | Following the change of the organic labelling system and pending the inclusion of specific Union rules on organic wine-making, there remained great uncertainty in the sector regarding the possibility to produce wine referring to organic production. In order to allow wine produced in the wine years 2010/11 and 2011/12 from organic grapes to be sold without the compulsory indications required by Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, provided that the products in question comply with Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (3) or Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, it appears necessary to extend the transitional period set out in Article 95(8) and (9) of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 regarding certain labelling provisions for such products until 31 July 2012. The extension of the transitional period should be applicable from 1 July 2010. |

The extension of the transitional period should be applicable from 1 July 2010.

| (5) | Following the assessment of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) on the use of rosemary extract as a food additive (4), the substance ‘extracts of rosemary’ was authorised for use as antioxidant and designated as E number in Part D of Annex III to European Parliament and Council Directive 95/2/EC of 20 February 1995 on food additives other than colours and sweeteners (5). As a consequence it is necessary to allow the use of rosemary extract in organic food processing as food additive, if it is used as such, by inclusion of that product in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008. |
