1.   Licence applications shall be lodged during the first seven days of the month preceding each period as specified in Article 2.

However, for the period from 1 July 2006 to 30 September 2006 licence applications shall be lodged during the first 15 days following the entry into force of this Regulation and for the period from 1 January 2007 to 31 March 2007 licence applications shall be lodged during the first 15 days of January 2007.

2.   Licence applications must be submitted to the competent authority of the Member State in which the applicant is established or has set up his registered office.

Applications shall only be admissible where the applicant declares in writing that he has not submitted and undertakes not to submit any other applications, in respect of the same period, concerning products of the group set out in Annex I.

Where an applicant submits more than one application all applications from that applicant shall be inadmissible.

3.   A security of EUR 50 per 100 kilograms shall be lodged for import licence applications for all products set out in Annex I.

4.   Member States shall notify the Commission, on the fifth working day following the end of the application submission period provided for in paragraph 1, of applications lodged for each of the products concerned. Such notification shall include a list of applicants and a statement of the quantities applied for by product.

All notifications, including ‘nil’ notifications, shall be made by electronic means on the working day provided for in the first subparagraph, using the model set out in Annex IV in cases where no applications have been submitted and the models set out in Annexes IV and V in cases where applications have been submitted.

5.   The Commission shall decide as quickly as possible to what extent quantities may be awarded in respect of the applications referred to in Article 4.

If the quantities in respect of which licences have been applied for exceed the quantities available, the Commission shall fix an allocation coefficient as a percentage of quantities applied for.

6.   Operators may withdraw their licence applications within 10 working days following publication of the allocation coefficient in the Official Journal of the European Union where application of that rate results in the fixing of a quantity less than 20 tonnes. Member States shall inform the Commission thereof within five days following the withdrawal of the licence application and shall release the security immediately.

7.   The Commission shall calculate the quantity remaining, which shall be added to the quantity available in respect of the following quarter for the same period of the quota.

8.   Licences shall be issued as quickly as possible after the Commission has taken its decision.

9.   Licences may only be used for products complying with all the veterinary requirements in force in the Community.

10.   Member States shall notify the Commission, before the end of the fourth month following each annual period, of the total volume of products, specified by CN code, entered into free circulation under this Regulation during that period.

All notifications, including ‘nil’ notifications, shall be made using the model set out in Annex VI.

Article 6

1.   For the purposes of Article 23(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, import licences shall be valid for a period of 150 days from the date of actual issue.

However, licences shall not be valid beyond the end of the last period of the year referred to in Article 2 for which a licence has been issued.

2.   Import licences issued pursuant to this Regulation shall not be transferable.

Article 7

Access to the tariff quota shall be conditional on presentation of a certificate of origin issued by the competent authorities of the United States of America in accordance with Articles 55 to 65 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (5). The origin of the products covered by this Regulation shall be determined in accordance with the provisions in force in the Community.

Article 8

Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall apply, save as otherwise provided in this Regulation.

By way of derogation from Article 8(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, the quantity imported under this Regulation may not exceed that shown in sections 17 and 18 of the import licence. The figure ‘0’ shall accordingly be entered in section 19 of the licence.

Article 9

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

It shall apply from 1 July 2006.

However, Article 5 shall apply from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

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

In maize fields in a zone of at least 2 500 m around the runways or any other areas where aircraft move within an airport where there is evidence that the risk for introduction of the organism is high, the following measures shall be taken:

—

crop rotation in such way that maize is only grown once during any period of two consecutive years, or

| — | an intensive monitoring for the presence of the organism using appropriate sex pheromone traps is carried out and, when the organism is detected, measures are taken according to Articles 3 and 4.’. |

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

of 11 August 2006

on containment programmes to limit the further spread of Diabrotica virgifera Le Conte in Community areas where its presence is confirmed

(2006/565/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the second indent of Article 211 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Decision 2003/766/EC of 24 October 2003 on emergency measures to prevent the spread within the Community of Diabrotica virgifera Le Conte (1) (the organism) provides for restrictions on growing maize in areas that were previously known to be free from the organism but where the organism has been found, as well as in areas where the organism is already established. |

The technical guidance provided for in this Recommendation is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

| 1. | The exact delimitation of infested zones referred to in Article 4a(1) of Decision 2003/766/EC should be based on sound scientific principles, the biology of the organism, the level of the infestation, and the particular production system of maize in the Member State concerned.
  The delimitation of infested zones should be reviewed when, in at least two consecutive years, similar results as regards the absence or presence of the organism have been obtained in the surveys referred to in Article 2 of Decision 2003/766/EC. |
| --- | --- |

1.

The delimitation of infested zones should be reviewed when, in at least two consecutive years, similar results as regards the absence or presence of the organism have been obtained in the surveys referred to in Article 2 of Decision 2003/766/EC.

| 2. | For the purpose of the implementation of the containment programmes referred to in Article 4a(2) of Decision 2003/766/EC, Member States should take account of the following principles:






  (a) | Measures to limit the spread of the organism from the infested zones into areas that are free from the organism (containment measures). They should be established in a zone (containment zone) which should extend for at least 10 km within the infested zone and at least 30 km into the non-infested zone.
  In the containment zone, Member States should ensure that in the maize fields:






  — | crop rotation is organised in such a way that maize is grown not more than once during any period of two consecutive years, or |

They should be established in a zone (containment zone) which should extend for at least 10 km within the infested zone and at least 30 km into the non-infested zone.

In the containment zone, Member States should ensure that in the maize fields:

—

crop rotation is organised in such a way that maize is grown not more than once during any period of two consecutive years, or

| — | crop rotation takes place in such a way that maize can be grown twice in any period of three consecutive years and, linked to a local prediction system for the development of the organism, at least one of these maize crops is sown only after the emergence of the larvae, or |
| --- | --- |

—

crop rotation takes place in such a way that maize can be grown twice in any period of three consecutive years and, linked to a local prediction system for the development of the organism, at least one of these maize crops is sown only after the emergence of the larvae, or

| — | crop rotation takes place in such a way that maize can be grown twice in any period of three consecutive years, each time in combination with efficient insecticide treatments against adults or any other measures or treatments resulting in a similar level of control of the organism. |
