COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 233/2009

of 19 March 2009

fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 164(2), in conjunction with Article 4, thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XVI of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund. |

(1)

Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XVI of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.

| (2) | Given the present situation on the market in milk and milk products, export refunds should be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167, 169 and 170 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. |

(2)

Given the present situation on the market in milk and milk products, export refunds should be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167, 169 and 170 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

| (3) | Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that export refunds may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary. |

Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that export refunds may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.

| (4) | Export refunds for the Dominican Republic have been differentiated to take into account the reduced custom duties applied on imports under the import tariff quota under the Memorandum of Understanding between the European Community and the Dominican Republic on import protection for milk powder in the Dominican Republic (2), approved by Council Decision 98/486/EC (3). Due to a changed market situation in the Dominican Republic, characterised by increased competition for milk powder, the quota is no longer fully used. In order to maximise the use of the quota, the differentiation of export refunds for the Dominican Republic should be abolished. |

of 19 March 2009

fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to milk and milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 164(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 162(1)b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(p) and listed in Part XVI of Annex I to that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these goods are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to that Regulation. |

(1)

Article 162(1)b of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products referred to in Article 1(1)(p) and listed in Part XVI of Annex I to that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these goods are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to that Regulation.

| (2) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. |

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Part IV of Annex XX to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

| (3) | In accordance with the second paragraph, subparagraph (a) of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed for a period of the same duration as that for which refunds are fixed for the same products exported unprocessed. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

In accordance with the second paragraph, subparagraph (a) of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed for a period of the same duration as that for which refunds are fixed for the same products exported unprocessed.

| (4) | Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lays down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded under the Uruguay Round lays down that the export refund for a product contained in a good may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.

| (5) | However, in the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met. |

COMMISSION DECISION

of 17 March 2009

requiring Member States to ensure that products containing the biocide dimethylfumarate are not placed or made available on the market

(notified under document number C(2009) 1723)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2009/251/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 December 2001 on general product safety (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,

Having consulted the Member States,

Whereas:

| (1) | Pursuant to Directive 2001/95/EC producers are obliged to place only safe consumer products on the market. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Pursuant to Directive 2001/95/EC producers are obliged to place only safe consumer products on the market.

| (2) | Furniture and footwear available on the market in several Member States have been identified as the cause of damage to the health of consumers in France, Poland, Finland, Sweden and the UK. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Furniture and footwear available on the market in several Member States have been identified as the cause of damage to the health of consumers in France, Poland, Finland, Sweden and the UK.

| (3) | According to clinical tests the health damage was caused by the chemical dimethylfumarate (DMF), a biocide preventing moulds that may deteriorate leather furniture or footwear during storage or transport in a humid climate. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

According to clinical tests the health damage was caused by the chemical dimethylfumarate (DMF), a biocide preventing moulds that may deteriorate leather furniture or footwear during storage or transport in a humid climate.

| (4) | DMF was most often contained in little pouches fixed inside the furniture or added to the footwear boxes. It thus evaporated and impregnated the product, protecting it from moulds. However, it then also affected consumers who were in contact with the products. DMF penetrated through the clothes onto consumers’ skin (2) where it caused painful skin contact dermatitis, including itching, irritation, redness, and burns; in some cases, acute respiratory troubles were reported. The dermatitis was particularly difficult to treat. The presence of DMF is thus a serious risk. |

The dermatitis was particularly difficult to treat. The presence of DMF is thus a serious risk.

| (5) | Under Article 13 of Directive 2001/95/EC, if the European Commission becomes aware that certain products present a serious risk to the health and safety of consumers, it may, subject to certain conditions, adopt a decision requiring Member States to take measures intended in particular to restrict or make subject to specific conditions the availability on the market of such products. |

Under Article 13 of Directive 2001/95/EC, if the European Commission becomes aware that certain products present a serious risk to the health and safety of consumers, it may, subject to certain conditions, adopt a decision requiring Member States to take measures intended in particular to restrict or make subject to specific conditions the availability on the market of such products.

| (6) | Such a decision may be adopted if (a) Member States differ significantly on the approach adopted or to be adopted to deal with the risk concerned; (b) the risk cannot, in view of the nature of the safety issue, be dealt with in a manner compatible with the degree of urgency of the case under other procedures laid down by the specific Community legislation applicable to the product concerned; and (c) the risk can be eliminated effectively only by adopting appropriate measures applicable at Community level, in order to ensure a consistent and high level of protection of the health and safety of consumers and the proper functioning of the internal market. |

| (7) | A clinical study on humans (3) (patch tests) with leather furniture and patches of pure DMF showed strong reactions in the most severe case down to 1 mg/kg. On the basis of this study, France adopted a decree (4) which bans the importation and placing on the market of seating and footwear containing DMF. The French decree also requires the recall of all seating and footwear which visibly contains, or the packaging of which visibly contains, DMF. The duration of the decree is limited to 1 year. Belgium issued a decree (5), on the basis of the same study, which bans the placing on the market of all articles and products containing DMF. Spain issued measures (6) banning DMF in all consumer products coming into contact with the skin. |

(8)

Belgium, Spain and France are the only Member States having adopted specific regulatory measures to address the serious risk to consumer health from the biocide DMF.

| (9) | Under Article 2(1)(a) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (the Biocides Directive) (7), biocidal products are defined as active substances and preparations containing one or more active substances, which are intended to destroy, deter, render harmless, prevent the action of, or otherwise exert a controlling effect on any harmful organism by chemical or biological means. Article 3(1) of the Biocides Directive requires Member States to prescribe that a biocidal product shall not be placed on the market and used in their territory unless it has been authorised in accordance with the Directive; and Article 5(1)(b)(iii) of the Directive provides that Member States shall authorise a biocidal product only if, amongst other things, it has no unacceptable effects itself or as a result of its residues, on human health, directly or indirectly. Thus, very high safety standards have to be fulfilled before a biocidal product can be authorised. |

Thus, very high safety standards have to be fulfilled before a biocidal product can be authorised.

| (10) | Biocidal products containing DMF are not authorised in the Community in accordance with the Biocides Directive. Thus, biocidal products containing DMF are not legally available in the Community for the treatment of products against moulds, and thus no product manufactured in the EU can legally contain DMF. However, there is no restriction when DMF is present in products (or raw materials of products) that are imported into the Community. |

In these circumstances, Member States should be required to ensure that no products containing DMF are placed or made available on the market, in order to prevent the serious risk posed by these products to consumers, until a permanent solution becomes available.

| (13) | The presence of DMF in products should be determined against the maximum limit of 0,1 mg DMF per kg of product or part of the product. This is considered to be sufficiently below the concentration of 1 mg/kg which showed a strong reaction in the patch tests mentioned above. The maximum limit of 0,1 mg/kg thus appropriately addresses the serious risk from DMF in products. |
