CHAPTER I

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Article 1

1.   This Regulation applies to imports into the Community of steel products listed in Annex I, originating in the Russian Federation.

2.   The steel products shall be classified in product groups as set out in Annex I.

3.   The origin of the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall be determined in accordance with the rules in force in the Community.

4.   The procedures for verification of the origin of the products referred to in paragraph 1 are laid down in Chapters II and III.

Article 2

1.   The importation into the Community of the products listed in Annex I originating in the Russian Federation shall be subject to the annual quantitative limits laid down in Annex V. The release for free circulation in the Community of the products listed in Annex I originating in the Russian Federation shall be subject to the presentation of a certificate of origin, set out in Annex II, and of an import authorisation issued by the Member States’ authorities in accordance with Article 4.

The authorised imports shall be counted against the quantitative limits laid down for the year in which the products are shipped in the exporting country.

2.   In order to ensure that quantities for which import authorisations are issued do not exceed at any moment the total quantitative limits for each product group, the competent authorities of the Member States shall issue import authorisations only upon confirmation by the Commission that there are still quantities available within the quantitative limits for the relevant product group of steel products in respect of the supplier country, for which an importer or importers have submitted applications to those authorities. The competent authorities of the Member States for the purposes of this Regulation are listed in Annex IV.

3.   Imports of products as from 1 January 2005, for which a licence was required pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2267/2004 shall be counted against the relevant limits for 2005 laid down in Annex V of this Regulation.

4.   For the purposes of this Regulation, and as from the date of its application, shipment of products shall be considered as having taken place on the date on which they were loaded on to the exporting means of transport.

Article 3

1.   The quantitative limits set out in Annex V shall not apply to products placed in a free zone or free warehouse or imported under the arrangements governing customs warehouses, temporary importation or inward processing (suspension system).

2.   Where the products referred to in paragraph 1 are subsequently released for free circulation, either in the unaltered state or after working or processing, Article 2(2) shall apply and the products so released shall be counted against the relevant quantitative limit set out in Annex V.

Article 4

1.   For the purpose of applying Article 2(2), before issuing import authorisations, the competent authorities of the Member States shall notify the Commission of the amounts of the requests for import authorisations, supported by original export licences, which they have received. By return, the Commission shall notify its confirmation that the requested amount(s) of quantities are available for importation in the chronological order in which the notifications of the Member States have been received.

2.   The requests included in the notifications to the Commission shall be valid if they establish clearly in each case the exporting country, the product group concerned, the amounts to be imported, the number of the export licence, the quota year and the Member State in which the products are intended to be put into free circulation.

3.   As far as possible, the Commission shall confirm to the authorities of the Member States the full amount indicated in the requests notified for each product group of products. Moreover, the Commission shall contact the competent authorities of the Russian Federation immediately in cases where requests notified exceed the limits in order to seek clarification and a rapid solution.

4.   The competent authorities of the Member States shall notify the Commission immediately after being informed of any quantity that is not used during the duration of validity of the import authorisation. Such unused quantities shall automatically be transferred into the remaining quantities of the total Community quantitative limit for each product group.

5.   The notifications referred to in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall be communicated electronically within the integrated network set up for this purpose, unless for imperative technical reasons it is necessary to use other means of communication temporarily.

6.   The import authorisations or equivalent documents shall be issued in accordance with Chapter II.

7.   The competent authorities of the Member States shall notify the Commission of any cancellation of import authorisations or equivalent documents already issued in cases where the corresponding export licences have been withdrawn or cancelled by the competent authorities of the Russian Federation. However, if the Commission or the competent authorities of a Member State have been informed by the competent authorities of the Russian Federation of the withdrawal or cancellation of an export licence after the related products have been imported into the Community, the quantities in question shall be counted against the quantitative limit for the year during which shipment of products took place.

Article 5

For the purposes of applying Article 3(3) and 3(4) of the Agreement, the Commission is hereby authorised to make the necessary adjustments.

Article 6

1.   Where, following the enquiries carried out in accordance with the procedures set out in Chapter III, the Commission notes that the information in its possession constitutes proof that products listed in Annex I originating in the Russian Federation have been transhipped, rerouted or otherwise imported into the Community through circumvention of the quantitative limits referred to in Article 2 and that there is a need for the necessary adjustments to be made, it shall request that consultations be opened so that agreement may be reached on an equivalent adjustment of the corresponding quantitative limits.

2.   Pending the outcome of the consultations referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission may ask the Russian Federation concerned to take the necessary precautionary steps to ensure that adjustments to the quantitative limits agreed following such consultations may be carried out for the year in which the request for consultations was lodged or for the following year, if the quantitative limits for the current year are exhausted, where there is clear evidence of circumvention.

3.   If the Community and the Russian Federation fail to arrive at a satisfactory solution and if the Commission notes that there is clear evidence of circumvention, the Commission shall deduct from the quantitative limits an equivalent volume of products originating in the Russian Federation.

Article 7

This Regulation shall not constitute in any way a derogation from the provisions of the Agreement which, in all cases of conflict, shall prevail.

CHAPTER II

MODALITIES APPLICABLE TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE QUANTITATIVE LIMITS

Where a classification decision adopted in accordance with the Community procedures in force referred to in Article 12 involves a product group subject to a quantitative limit, the Commission shall, where necessary, initiate consultations without delay in accordance with Article 9, in order to reach agreement on any necessary adjustments to the corresponding quantitative limits set out in Annex V.

Article 14

1.   Without prejudice to any other provision on this subject, where the classification indicated in the documentation necessary for importation of the products covered by this Regulation differs from the classification determined by the competent authorities of the Member State into which they are to be imported, the goods in question shall be provisionally subject to the import arrangements which, in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation, are applicable to them on the basis of the classification determined by the aforementioned authorities.

Article 15

In the cases referred to in Article 14, as well as in those cases of a similar nature raised by the competent authorities of the Russian Federation, the Commission, if necessary, shall enter into consultations with the Russian Federation, in order to reach agreement on the classification definitively applicable to the products involved in the divergence.

Article 16

The Commission, in agreement with the competent authorities of the importing Member State or States and of the Russian Federation, may, in the cases referred to in Article 15, determine the classification definitively applicable to the products involved in the divergence.

Article 26

The export licence and the certificate of origin may be issued after the shipment of the products to which they relate. In such cases they shall bear the endorsement ‘issued retrospectively’.

Article 27

In the event of the theft, loss or destruction of an export licence or a certificate of origin, the exporter may apply to the competent authority which issued the document for a duplicate to be made out on the basis of the export documents in his possession. The duplicate licence or certificate issued in this way shall bear the endorsement ‘duplicate’. The duplicate shall bear the date of the original licence or certificate.

SECTION 4

Community import licence — common form

Article 28

1.   The forms to be used by the competent authorities of the Member States for issuing the import authorisations referred to in Article 21 shall conform to the model of the import licence set out in Annex III.

2.   Import licence forms and extracts thereof shall be drawn up in duplicate, one copy, marked ‘Holder’s copy’ and bearing the number 1 to be issued to the applicant, and the other, marked ‘Copy for the issuing authority’ and bearing the number 2, to be kept by the authority issuing the licence. For administrative purposes the competent authorities may add additional copies to form 2.

3.   Forms shall be printed on white paper free of mechanical pulp, dressed for writing and weighing between 55 and 65 g/m2. Their size shall be 210 × 297 mm; the type space between the lines shall be 4,24 mm (one sixth of an inch); the layout of the forms shall be followed precisely. Both sides of copy No 1, which is the licence itself, shall in addition have a red printed guilloche-pattern background so as to reveal any falsification by mechanical or chemical means.

4.   Member States shall be responsible for having the forms printed. The forms may also be printed by printers appointed by the Member State in which they are established. In the latter case, reference to the appointment by the Member State must appear on each form. Each form shall bear the printer’s name and address or a mark enabling the printer to be identified.

5.   At the time of their issue the import licences or extracts shall be given an issue number determined by the competent authorities of the Member State. The import licence number shall be notified to the Commission electronically within the integrated network set up under Article 4.

6.   Licences and extracts shall be completed in the official language, or one of the official languages, of the Member State of issue.

7.   In box 10 the competent authorities shall indicate the appropriate steel product group.

8.   The marks of the issuing agencies and debiting authorities shall be applied by means of a stamp. However, an embossing press combined with letters or figures obtained by means of perforation, or printing on the licence may be substituted for the issuing authority’s stamp. The issuing authorities shall use any tamper-proof method to record the quantity allocated in such a way as to make it impossible to insert figures or references.

9.   The reverse of copy No 1 and copy No 2 shall bear a box in which quantities may be entered, either by the customs authorities when import formalities are completed, or by the competent administrative authorities when an extract is issued. If the space set aside for debits on a licence or extract thereof is insufficient, the competent authorities may attach one or more extension pages bearing boxes matching those on the reverse of copy No 1 and copy No 2 of the licence or extract. The debiting authorities shall place their stamp so that one half is on the licence or extract thereof and the other half is on the extension page. If there is more than one extension page, a further stamp shall be placed in like manner across each page and the preceding page.

10.   Import licences and extracts issued, and entries and endorsements made, by the authorities of one Member State shall have the same legal effect in each of the other Member States as documents issued, and entries and endorsements made, by the authorities of such Member States.

11.   The competent authorities of the Member States concerned may, where indispensable, require the contents of licences or extracts to be translated into the official language or one of the official languages of that Member State.

CHAPTER III

ADMINISTRATIVE COOPERATION

Article 29

The Commission shall supply the Member States’ authorities with the names and addresses of authorities in the Russian Federation competent to issue certificates of origin and export licences together with specimens of the stamps used by these authorities.

Article 30

1.   Subsequent verification of certificates of origin or export licences shall be carried out at random, or whenever the competent authorities of the Member States have reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the certificate of origin or export licence or as to the accuracy of the information regarding the true origin of the products in question.

In such cases the competent authorities of the Community shall return the certificate of origin or the export licence or a copy thereof to the competent authorities of the Russian Federation, giving, where appropriate, the reasons of form or substance for an enquiry. If the invoice has been submitted, such invoice or a copy thereof shall be attached to the certificate of origin or export licence or copy thereof. The competent authorities shall also forward any information that has been offered suggesting that the particulars given on the certificate of origin or the export licence are inaccurate.

2.   Paragraph 1 shall also apply to subsequent verifications of declarations of origin.

3.   The results of the subsequent verifications carried out in accordance with paragraph 1 shall be communicated to the competent authorities of the Community within three months at the latest. The information communicated shall indicate whether the disputed certificate, licence or declaration applies to the goods actually exported and whether the goods are eligible for export to the Community under this Chapter. The competent authorities of the Community may also request copies of all documentation necessary to determine the facts fully, including, in particular, the origin of the goods.

4.   Should such verifications reveal abuse or major irregularities in the use of declarations of origin, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission of this fact. The Commission shall pass the information on to the other Member States.

5.   Random recourse to the procedure specified in this Article shall not constitute an obstacle to the release for free circulation of the products in question.

Article 31

1.   Where the verification procedure referred to in Article 30 or where information available to the competent authorities of the Community indicates that the provisions of this Chapter are being contravened, the said authorities shall request the Russian Federation to carry out appropriate enquiries or arrange for such enquiries to be carried out concerning operations which are or appear to be in contravention of the provisions of this Chapter. The results of these enquiries shall be communicated to the competent authorities of the Community together with any other pertinent information enabling the true origin of the goods to be determined.

2.   In pursuance of the action taken in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter, the competent authorities of the Community may exchange any information with the competent authorities of the Russian Federation which is considered to be of use in preventing the contravention of the provisions of this Chapter.

3.   Where it is established that the provisions of this Chapter have been contravened, the Commission may take such measures as are necessary to prevent recurrence of such contravention.

Article 32

The Commission shall coordinate the action undertaken by the competent authorities of the Member States under the provisions of this Chapter. The competent authorities of the Member States shall inform the Commission and the other Member States of action which they have undertaken and the results obtained.

CHAPTER IV

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1900/2005

of 21 November 2005

amending Regulation (EC) No 382/2001 concerning the implementation of projects promoting cooperation and commercial relations between the European Union and the industrialised countries of North America, the Far East and Australasia

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 and 181a thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 382/2001 (2) provides a legal framework for the enhancement of cooperation and commercial relations with the industrialised countries of North America, the Far East and Australasia until 31 December 2005. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 382/2001 (2) provides a legal framework for the enhancement of cooperation and commercial relations with the industrialised countries of North America, the Far East and Australasia until 31 December 2005.

| (2) | Certain future aspects of the legal framework for the Community intervention in the area of external relations, including the promotion of cooperation and economic relations with industrialised countries, during the next period of Financial Perspectives (2007-2013) are yet to be determined. At the earliest, such new legal framework may apply from 1 January 2007. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Certain future aspects of the legal framework for the Community intervention in the area of external relations, including the promotion of cooperation and economic relations with industrialised countries, during the next period of Financial Perspectives (2007-2013) are yet to be determined. At the earliest, such new legal framework may apply from 1 January 2007.

| (3) | As it is crucial to ensure continuity in cooperation activities with industrialised countries, it is therefore necessary to avoid the potential absence of a legal basis for those activities between the current expiry date of Regulation (EC) No 382/2001 and the date from which a new legal framework may apply. Extending the validity of Regulation (EC) No 382/2001 for an appropriate period will make it possible to bridge any potential gap in the legal framework governing cooperation with industrialised countries. |

Extending the validity of Regulation (EC) No 382/2001 for an appropriate period will make it possible to bridge any potential gap in the legal framework governing cooperation with industrialised countries.

| (4) | The extension in time of Regulation (EC) No 382/2001 is all the more justified as the evaluation carried out in 2004 of the projects and programmes financed under that Regulation established their effectiveness and called for their continuation with due attention to be paid to coordination of the supported activities within and between the partner countries concerned. |

The extension in time of Regulation (EC) No 382/2001 is all the more justified as the evaluation carried out in 2004 of the projects and programmes financed under that Regulation established their effectiveness and called for their continuation with due attention to be paid to coordination of the supported activities within and between the partner countries concerned.

| (5) | The second subparagraph of Article 114(1) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (3) provides for the possibility of awarding grants to natural persons, by way of exception, when provided for by the basic act. Such situations arise regularly in connection with the implementation of the Executive Training Programmes in Japan and in Korea and may occasionally arise in the case of other cooperation activities with industrialised countries, in particular in the framework of education cooperation or people-to-people exchanges. |

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2005/80/EC

of 21 November 2005

amending Council Directive 76/768/EEC, concerning cosmetic products, for the purposes of adapting Annexes II and III thereto to technical progress

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products (1), and in particular Article 4b and Article 8(2) thereof,

After consulting the Scientific Committee on Consumer Products,

Whereas:

| (1) | Directive 76/768/EEC, as amended by Directive 2003/15/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), prohibits the use in cosmetic products of substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (CMR), of category 1, 2 and 3, under Annex I to Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (3), but allows the use of substances classified in category 3 pursuant to Directive 67/548/EEC subject to evaluation and approval by the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic products and Non-Food Products intended for consumers SCCNFP, replaced by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP) by Commission Decision 2004/210 (4). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Directive 76/768/EEC, as amended by Directive 2003/15/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), prohibits the use in cosmetic products of substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (CMR), of category 1, 2 and 3, under Annex I to Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (3), but allows the use of substances classified in category 3 pursuant to Directive 67/548/EEC subject to evaluation and approval by the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic products and Non-Food Products intended for consumers SCCNFP, replaced by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP) by Commission Decision 2004/210 (4).

| (2) | Directive 67/548/EEC has been amended by Directive 2004/73/EC, and it is therefore necessary to adopt measures so as to bring Directive 76/768/EEC in line with the provisions of Directive 67/548/EEC. |

(2)

Directive 67/548/EEC has been amended by Directive 2004/73/EC, and it is therefore necessary to adopt measures so as to bring Directive 76/768/EEC in line with the provisions of Directive 67/548/EEC.

| (3) | In so far as some of the substances classified as CMR of category 1 and 2 under Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC are not yet listed in Annex II to Directive 76/768/EEC, it is necessary to include them in that Annex. Substances classified as CMR of category 3 under Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC should also be included in Annex II to Directive 76/768/EEC, except if they have been evaluated by the SCCP and found acceptable for use in cosmetic products. |

| (4) | Substances classified as CMR of category 1 and 2 listed in Annex III, Part 1 to Directive 76/768/EEC should be deleted, since these substances are now listed in Annex II to Directive 76/768/EEC and therefore must not form part of the composition of cosmetic products. |

AGREEMENT

between the European Community and the Russian Federation on trade in certain steel products

THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY,

of the one part, and

THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION,

of the other part,

being the Parties to this Agreement,

WHEREAS the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the ‘PCA’) establishing a partnership between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Russian Federation, of the other part (1), entered into force on 1 December 1997,

WHEREAS the Parties are desirous to promote the orderly and equitable development of trade in steel between the European Community (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Community’) and the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as ‘Russia’),

WHEREAS Article 21 of the PCA provides that trade in the steel products of the former European Coal and Steel Community, hereinafter referred to as ‘ECSC’, shall be governed by Title III, save for Article 15 thereof, and by the provisions of an agreement; whereas this Agreement is the agreement referred to in Article 21 of the PCA,

BEARING IN MIND the process of accession of Russia to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and Community support for the integration of Russia into the international trading system,

WHEREAS for the years 1995-2004 trade in certain steel products was the subject of agreements, which it is appropriate to replace with a further agreement which takes account of developments in the relationship between the Parties,

WHEREAS this Agreement should be accompanied by cooperation between the Parties in respect of their steel industries, including appropriate exchanges of information, within the Contact Group on coal and steel as foreseen in Protocol 1 to the PCA,

HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

1.   This Agreement applies to trade in former ECSC steel products.

2.   Trade in steel products set out in Annex I may be subject to quantitative limits.

3.   Trade in steel products not set out in Annex I shall not be subject to quantitative limits.

4.   In the case of steel products and subject matters which are not covered by this Agreement, the relevant provisions of the PCA shall apply.

Article 2

1.   The Parties agree to establish and maintain for the period of validity of the present Agreement for each calendar year quantitative arrangements fixing the limits set out in Annex II on Russian exports to the Community of the products set out in Annex I. Such exports shall be subject to a double-checking system as specified in Protocol A.

2.   The Parties agree that imports into the Community from Russia of products included in Annex I as from 1 January 2005 until the entry into force of this Agreement shall be deducted from the quantitative limits set out in Annex II.

3.   Imports of quantities in excess of those mentioned in Annex II shall be authorised where the Community industry is unable to meet the internal demand which results in a shortage of supply for one or more products listed in Annex I. Consultations shall take place immediately at the request of either Party to determine the level of the shortage on the basis of objective evidence. Following the conclusions of the consultations, the Community shall instigate its internal procedures to increase the quantitative limits set out in Annex II.

4.   In the case where countries candidate for membership of the European Union would accede before the termination of this Agreement, the Parties agree to consider to increase the quantitative limits set out in Annex II.

Article 3

1.   Imports into the customs territory of the Community for free circulation of the products set out in Annex I shall be subject to the presentation of an import authorisation issued by the competent authority of a Member State based on the production of an export licence issued by the authorities of Russia, and to proof of origin in accordance with the provisions of Protocol A.

2.   Imports into the customs territory of the Community of the products set out in Annex I shall not be subject to the quantitative limits set out in Annex II provided they are declared to be for re-export outside the Community in the same state or after processing, within the administrative system of control which exists within the Community.

3.   Carry-over to the corresponding quantitative limits for the following calendar year of the amounts of quantitative limits not used during the first calendar year is authorised up to 7 % of the relevant quantitative limit set out in Annex II for a product group in question for the year in which it was not used. Russia shall notify the Community no later than 31 March of the following year if it intends to make use of this provision.

4.   Up to 7 % of the quantitative limit for a given product group may be transferred to one or more other groups within the same product category, that is to say within category SA or SB, subject to the consent of both Parties. The quantitative limit for a given product group can be reduced once in the course of a calendar year. Furthermore, transfers between SA and SB categories are permitted up to a maximum of 25 000 tonnes. Any adjustments to the quantitative limits resulting from transfers shall only affect the calendar year in progress. At the start of the following calendar year, the quantitative limits shall be those shown at Annex II, without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 3. Russia shall notify the Community no later than 31 May if it intends to make use of this provision.

Article 4

1.   With a view to rendering the double-checking system as effective as possible and to minimise the possibilities for abuse and circumvention:

| — | the Community authorities shall inform Russia by the 28th of each month of the import authorisations issued during the preceding month, |
| --- | --- |

—

the Community authorities shall inform Russia by the 28th of each month of the import authorisations issued during the preceding month,

| — | the Russian authorities shall inform the Community by the 28th of each month of the export licences issued during the preceding month. |
| --- | --- |

—

the Russian authorities shall inform the Community by the 28th of each month of the export licences issued during the preceding month.

In the event of any significant discrepancy taking account of the time factors involved in respect of such information either Party may request consultations which shall be opened immediately.

2.   Without prejudice to paragraph 1 and with a view to ensuring the effective functioning of this Agreement, the Community and Russia agree to take all necessary steps to prevent, to investigate and to take any necessary legal and/or administration action against circumvention, notably by transhipment, re-routing, false declaration concerning the country or place of origin, falsification of documents, false declaration concerning quantities, description or classification of merchandise. Accordingly, the Community and Russia agree to establish the necessary legal provisions and administrative procedures permitting effective action to be taken against such circumvention, which shall include the adoption of legally binding corrective measures against exporters and/or importers involved.

3.   Should the Community believe on the basis of information available that this Agreement is being circumvented, the Community may request consultations with Russia which shall be held immediately.

4.   Pending the results of the consultations referred to in paragraph 3, Russia shall, as a precautionary measure, and if so requested by the Community, take all necessary measures to ensure that, where sufficient evidence of circumvention is provided, adjustments of the quantitative limits liable to be agreed following the consultations referred to in paragraph 3 shall be carried out for the calendar year in which the request for consultations under paragraph 3 was made, or for the following year, if the limit for that calendar year is exhausted.

5.   Should the Parties be unable in the course of the consultations referred to in paragraph 3 to reach a mutually satisfactory solution, the Community shall have the right:

| (a) | where there is sufficient evidence that products covered by this Agreement originating in Russia have been imported in circumvention of this Agreement, to set off the relevant quantities against the quantitative limits established under the Agreement; |
| --- | --- |

(a)

where there is sufficient evidence that products covered by this Agreement originating in Russia have been imported in circumvention of this Agreement, to set off the relevant quantities against the quantitative limits established under the Agreement;

| (b) | where sufficient evidence shows false declaration concerning quantities description or classification has occurred, to refuse to import the products in question. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

where sufficient evidence shows false declaration concerning quantities description or classification has occurred, to refuse to import the products in question.

6.   The Parties agree to cooperate fully to prevent and to address effectively all problems arising from circumvention of this Agreement.

Article 5

1.   The quantitative limits established under this Agreement on imports into the Community of the steel products set out in Annex I shall not be broken down by the Community into regional shares.

2.   The Parties shall cooperate in order to prevent sudden and prejudicial changes in traditional trade flows into the Community. Should a sudden and prejudicial change in traditional trade flows arise (including regional concentration or the loss of traditional customers), the Community will be entitled to request consultations in order to find a satisfactory solution to the problem. Such consultations shall be held immediately.

3.   Russia shall endeavour to ensure that exports into the Community of products set out in Annex I are spaced out as evenly as possible over the year. Should a sudden and prejudicial surge of imports arise, the Community will be entitled to request consultations in order to find a satisfactory solution to the problem. Such consultations shall be held immediately.

4.   In addition to the obligation contained in paragraph 3, where licences issued by the Russian authorities have reached 90 % of the quantitative limits for the calendar year in question, either Party may request consultations concerning the quantitative limits for that year. Such consultations shall be held immediately. Pending the outcome of such consultations, the Russian authorities may continue to issue export licences for the products set out in Annex I provided they do not exceed the quantities set out in Annex II.

Article 6

1.   Where any product set out in Annex I is being imported into the Community from Russia under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause substantial injury to Community producers of like products, the Community shall supply Russia with all relevant information with a view to seeking a solution acceptable to both Parties. The Parties shall commence consultations promptly.

2.   Should the consultations referred to in paragraph 1 fail to lead to agreement within 30 days of the Community’s request for consultations, the Community may utilise the right to take action concerning safeguard measures pursuant to the provisions of the PCA.

3.   Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of Article 18 of the PCA shall apply.

Article 7

1.   The classification of the products covered by this Agreement is based on the tariff and statistical nomenclature of the Community, hereinafter called the ‘combined nomenclature’, or in abbreviated form ‘CN’. Any amendment to the combined nomenclature (CN) made in accordance with the procedures in force in the Community concerning the products set out in Annex I or any decision relating to the classification of goods shall not have the effect of reducing the quantitative limits of the products set out Annex II.

2.   The origin of the products covered by this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the rules in force in the Community. Any amendment to these rules of origin shall be communicated to Russia and shall not have the effect of reducing the quantitative limits of this Agreement. The procedures for control of the origin of the products referred to above are laid down in Protocol A.

Article 8

1.   Without prejudice to the periodic exchange of information on export licences and import authorisations pursuant to Article 4(1), the Parties agree to exchange available statistical information relating to trade in the products set out in Annex I at appropriate intervals, taking account of the shortest periods in which the information in question is prepared, which shall cover export licences and import authorisations issued pursuant to Article 3 and import and export statistics in respect of the products in question.

2.   Either Party may request consultations in the event of any significant discrepancy between the information exchanged.

Article 9

1.   Without prejudice to provisions concerning consultations provided for in respect of specific circumstances in preceding Articles, consultations shall be held on any problems arising from the application of this Agreement at the request of either Party. Any consultations shall take place in a spirit of cooperation and with a desire to reconcile the differences between the Parties.

2.   Where this Agreement provides that consultations shall be held immediately, the Parties undertake to use all reasonable means to ensure that this is achieved.

3.   All other consultations shall be governed by the following provisions:

—

in pursuance of the exchange of information provided for in Article 4(1) concerning export licences and import authorisations, the Parties will supply that information by reference to the Member States in addition to the Community as a whole;

| — | if the Parties are unable to reach a satisfactory solution during the consultations provided for in Article 5(2), Russia will cooperate, if so requested by the Community, by not issuing export licences for an intended destination where imports pursuant to such licences would aggravate the problems resulting from sudden and prejudicial changes in traditional trade flows, it being understood that Russia may continue to issue licences for other Community destinations; |

| --- | --- |

—

Russia will take due account of the sensitive nature of small regional markets within the Community both as regards their traditional needs for supplies and the avoidance of regional concentrations.

Declaration No 1

In the case Russian operators were to set up service centres in the Community that would further process products covered by this Agreement imported from Russia, Russia declares that it could request an increase of quantitative limits mentioned in Annex II. In this case, the Community will examine such request of increase and the Parties will enter into consultations if required.

Declaration No 2

The Parties declare that they aim at achieving complete liberalisation of trade in steel products. Both Parties also recognise that it is an important condition for promoting trade between them that competition, state aid and environment provisions applicable within each Party must be compatible. To this end, and upon request from Russia, the Community shall provide technical assistance, within relevant earmarked budgetary limits, to help Russia to adopt and implement legislative provisions compatible with those adopted and applied by the Community. The technical assistance shall be channelled through detailed projects agreed by both Parties.

Declaration No 3

The Parties agree that they shall not apply with respect to the other Party quantitative restrictions, customs duties, charges or any similar measures on the export of ferrous waste and scrap under the EC Combined Nomenclature heading 7204, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 19 of the PCA.

Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, Russia applies currently a tax on exports of ferrous waste and scrap under the EC Combined Nomenclature 7204. The tax is currently set at 15 % but not less than EUR 15 per tonne for all products of 7204, except for product 7204 41 00 where the tax is set at 5 %.

The Parties agree to continue the discussion to find a satisfactory solution. Furthermore, it is understood that the quantitative limits set out in Annex II of the Agreement would be increased by 12 % if Russia removes completely the tax or by a lower percentage to be determined if such tax is reduced, provided that no other measures that would constitute an obstacle to free export are introduced by Russia.

The products of particular interest for the Community are: 7204 10 00, 7204 21 10, 7204 41 10, 7204 49 10, 7204 49 30, 7204 49 91 and 7204 49 99.

TITLE V

Administrative cooperation

Article 15

The Community and Russia shall cooperate closely in the implementation of the provisions of this Protocol. To this end, contacts and exchanges of views, including on technical matters, shall be facilitated by both Parties.

Article 16

In order to ensure the correct application of this Protocol, the Community and Russia offer mutual assistance for the checking of the authenticity and the accuracy of export licences issued and certificates of origin issued or of any declarations made within the terms of this Protocol.

Article 17

Russia shall send the Community (European Commission) the names and addresses of the competent Russian governmental authorities which are authorised to issue and to verify export licences and the competent Russian organisations authorised under Russian legislation to issue certificates of origin together with specimens of the stamps and signatures they use. Russia shall also notify the Community (European Commission) of any change in these particulars.

Article 18

1.   Subsequent verification of certificates of origin or export licences shall be carried out at random, or whenever the competent Community authorities have reasonable doubt as to the authenticity of the certificate or licence or as to the accuracy of the information regarding the true origin of the products in question.

2.   In such cases, the competent authorities in the Community shall return the certificate of origin or the export licence or a copy thereof to the appropriate Russian authorities giving, where appropriate, the reasons of form or substance which justify an enquiry. If the invoice has been submitted, such invoice or a copy thereof shall be attached to the certificate or to the licence or their copies. The authorities shall also forward any information that has been obtained suggesting that the particulars given on the said certificate or licence are inaccurate.

3.   The provisions of paragraph 1 shall also apply to subsequent verifications of the certificates of origin provided for in Article 2 of this Protocol.

4.   The results of the subsequent verifications carried out in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be communicated to the competent authorities of the Community within three months at the latest. The information communicated shall indicate whether the disputed certificate or licence applies to the goods actually exported and whether these goods are eligible for export under the arrangements established by the Agreement. The information shall also include, at the request of the Community, copies of all the documentation necessary to fully determine the facts, and in particular the true origin of the goods.

5.   For the purpose of subsequent verification of certificates of origin, copies of the certificates as well as any export documents referring to them shall be kept by the competent Russian organisations for at least one year following the end of the Agreement.

6.   Recourse to the random verification procedure specified in this Article must not constitute an obstacle to the release for free circulation of the products in question.

Article 19

1.   Where the verification procedure referred to in Article 18 or where information available to the competent authorities of the Community or of Russia indicates or appears to indicate that the provisions of this Agreement are being circumvented or infringed, the two Parties shall cooperate closely and with the appropriate urgency in order to prevent any such circumvention or infringement.

2.   To this end, the appropriate Russian authorities shall, on their own initiative or at the request of the Community, carry out appropriate inquiries, or arrange for such inquiries to be carried out, concerning operations which are, or appear to the Community to be, in circumvention or infringement of this Protocol. Russia shall communicate the results of these enquiries to the Community, including any other pertinent information enabling the cause of the circumvention or infringement, including the true origin of the goods to be determined.

3.   By agreement between the Community and Russia, officials designated by the Community may be present at the inquiries referred to in paragraph 2.

4.   In pursuance of the cooperation referred to in paragraph 1, the competent authorities of the Community and Russia shall exchange any information considered by either Party to be of use in preventing circumvention or infringement of the provisions of this Agreement. These exchanges may include information on the trade in the type of products covered by this Agreement between Russia and third countries, particularly where the Community has reasonable grounds to consider that the products in question may be in transit across the territory of Russia prior to their importation into the Community. This information may include, at the request of the Community, copies of all relevant documentation, where available.

5.   Where sufficient evidence shows that the provisions of this Protocol have been circumvented or infringed, the competent authorities of Russia and the Community may agree to take any measures necessary to prevent a recurrence of such circumvention or infringement.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 18 November 2005

amending Decision 2000/609/EC as regards the importation of fresh ratite meat from Australia and Uruguay

(notified under document number C(2005) 4408)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2005/804/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 91/494/EEC of 26 June 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and imports from third countries of fresh poultrymeat (1) and in particular Article 9(1), Article 11(1), Article 12 and Article 14(1) and Article 14a thereof,

Council Directive 92/118/EC of 17 December 1992 laying down animal health and public health requirements governing trade in and imports into the Community of products not subject to the said requirements laid down in specific Community rules referred to in Annex A (I) to Directive 89/662/EEC and, as regards pathogens, to Directive 90/425/EEC (2) and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Decision 94/85/EC of 16 February 1994 drawing up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of fresh poultrymeat (3) includes Uruguay on that list. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Commission Decision 94/85/EC of 16 February 1994 drawing up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of fresh poultrymeat (3) includes Uruguay on that list.

| (2) | Commission Decision 2000/609/EC of 29 September 2000 laying down animal and public health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of farmed ratite meat amending Decision 94/85/EC drawing up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of fresh poultrymeat (4) provides that Member States are to authorise the importation of fresh meat of farmed ratites only from third countries or parts thereof listed in Annex I to Decision 2000/609/EC, subject to certain conditions. At present, Uruguay is not included in that Decision. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Commission Decision 2000/609/EC of 29 September 2000 laying down animal and public health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of farmed ratite meat amending Decision 94/85/EC drawing up a list of third countries from which the Member States authorise imports of fresh poultrymeat (4) provides that Member States are to authorise the importation of fresh meat of farmed ratites only from third countries or parts thereof listed in Annex I to Decision 2000/609/EC, subject to certain conditions. At present, Uruguay is not included in that Decision.

| (3) | Following a Commission mission in October 2004, subsequent follow-up and guarantees provided by Uruguay, the animal and public health situation is now satisfactory so as to allow that country to be included on the list of approved third countries set out in Annex I to Decision 2000/609/EC. |

(3)

Following a Commission mission in October 2004, subsequent follow-up and guarantees provided by Uruguay, the animal and public health situation is now satisfactory so as to allow that country to be included on the list of approved third countries set out in Annex I to Decision 2000/609/EC.

| (4) | In view of Uruguay’s animal health status as regards Newcastle disease, it is appropriate that imports of fresh meat of farmed ratites from Uruguay are accompanied by the model health attestation ‘A’ as laid down in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2000/609/EC. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

In view of Uruguay’s animal health status as regards Newcastle disease, it is appropriate that imports of fresh meat of farmed ratites from Uruguay are accompanied by the model health attestation ‘A’ as laid down in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2000/609/EC.

| (5) | Decision 2000/609/EC, as amended by Decision 2004/118/EC, provides erroneously that fresh meat of farmed ratites from Australia must be accompanied by the model health attestation ‘A’ as laid down in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2000/609/EC, instead of the model health attestation ‘B’ laid down in that Annex. That mistake should therefore be corrected. |

That mistake should therefore be corrected.

| (6) | Decision 2000/609/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
