Notification pursuant to Article 95, paragraph 5 of the EC Treaty — Authorisation to introduce national measures being more stringent than provisions of an EC harmonisation measure

(Text with EEA relevance)

2009/C 139/03

| 1. | By letter of 5 May 2009, the Republic of Portugal informed the Commission about its intention to declare the Autonomous Region of Madeira as an area free of the cultivation of varieties of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The draft regional legislative decree would deviate from the provisions of Directive 2001/18/EC on the deliberate release into the environment of GMOs and Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 on GM food and feed. |

By letter of 5 May 2009, the Republic of Portugal informed the Commission about its intention to declare the Autonomous Region of Madeira as an area free of the cultivation of varieties of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The draft regional legislative decree would deviate from the provisions of Directive 2001/18/EC on the deliberate release into the environment of GMOs and Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 on GM food and feed.

| 2. | Directive 2001/18/EC is based on Article 95 of the EC Treaty. The Directive establishes a system for the authorisation of release of GMOs into the environment for commercial or experimental purposes, including for cultivation, at Community level. This authorisation takes place on a case-by-case basis for every GMO and after a risk assessment with regards to its potential adverse effects on human and animal health and the environment. If a written consent has been given for the placing on the market of a GMO, this product may be used without further notification throughout the Community in so far as the specific conditions of use and the environments and/or geographical areas stipulated in these conditions are strictly adhered to. Member States may not prohibit, restrict or impede the placing on the market of GMOs which comply with the requirements of the Directive. A Member State may provisionally restrict or prohibit the use and/or sale of an individual authorised GMO only if it has detailed grounds for considering that this GMO constitutes a risk to human health or the environment, and on the basis of new scientific information made available since the date of the consent. |

This authorisation takes place on a case-by-case basis for every GMO and after a risk assessment with regards to its potential adverse effects on human and animal health and the environment.

A Member State may provisionally restrict or prohibit the use and/or sale of an individual authorised GMO only if it has detailed grounds for considering that this GMO constitutes a risk to human health or the environment, and on the basis of new scientific information made available since the date of the consent.

| 3. | Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 on GM food and feed covers also seeds and other plant-propagating material for the purpose of cultivation (‘GMO that may be used as a source material for the production for food/feed’). As the Directive, the Regulation also establishes a system for the authorisation of GM seeds at Community level on a case-by-case basis and after a risk assessment with regards to its potential adverse effects on human and animal health and the environment. Member States may not prohibit or restrict the cultivation of GMOs which comply with the requirements of the Regulation. A Member State may modify or suspend the authorisation of an individual GMO under the Regulation, only where it is evident that it is likely to constitute a serious risk to human health, animal health and the environment and on the basis of new scientific evidence made available since the authorisation. |

| 4. | The draft Decree of Portugal would introduce a breach of the harmonised authorisation procedures of the Directive and the Regulation, as it would introduce a general ban of all GMOs, including those authorised under the above two acts. According to the Portuguese notification, the Autonomous Region of Madeira has an immense plant genetic wealth (not only in terms of ornamental and forest species, but also in terms of varieties of agronomic species). This genetic wealth has existed for centuries and its scientific and economic value is undisputable. That is why the introduction of material containing GMOs could have disastrous consequences, due to the likelihood that these GMOs will alter certain environmental aspects and may interfere with the valuable genetic heritage of the particular Region. The notification contains a list of arguments which refer to:

| 5. | The Commission will process this notification in accordance with Article 95(5) and (6) of the EC Treaty. Article 95(5) of the EC Treaty provides that if, after the adoption of a Community harmonisation measure, a Member State deems it necessary to introduce national provisions based on new scientific evidence relating to the protection of the environment or the working environment on grounds of a problem specific to that Member State arising after the adoption of the harmonised measure, it shall notify the Commission of the envisaged provisions as well as the grounds for introducing them. Following the notification of the Portuguese provisions the Commission has six months to approve or reject them. In this period the Commission shall assess whether the introduction of the Portuguese provisions is justified after having verified that they do not constitute a means of arbitrary discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade and that they do not create an unnecessary and disproportionate obstacle to the functioning of the internal market. |

Extract from the Decision concerning Straumur-Burdaras Fjarfestingarbanki hf. pursuant to Directive 2001/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 April 2001 on the reorganisation and winding-up of credit institutions

2009/C 139/06

INVITATION TO LODGE A CLAIM — A NOTICE ON THE TIME LIMITS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN SUBMITTING A STATEMENT OF CLAIM

A ruling by the Reykjavik District Court, delivered on 3 March 2009, granted authorised debt moratorium to Straumur-Burdaras fjarfestingarbanki hf., Reg. No 701086-1399, Borgartun 25, Reykjavik, Iceland for the period to 11 June 2009. According to Temporary Provision II of Act No 44/2009, amending Act No 161/2002, the Reykjavik District Court has appointed a Winding-Up Board for the bank, which will handle, for instance, claims against the bank while the moratorium is in effect and after winding-up proceedings commence upon the conclusion of the moratorium.

The reference date is 9 March 2009. The commencement date of claims processing shall be based on the entry into force of Act No 44/2009 and is 22 April 2009, cf. further the first paragraph and the second sentence of the third paragraph of Article. 102 of Act No 161/2002, cf. Article. 6 of Act No 44/2009.

All parties claiming debts of any sort or other rights against Straumur-Burdaras fjarfestingarbanki hf. or assets controlled by the bank, including preferential claims and those secured in re, are hereby invited to submit their claims to the bank’s Winding-up Board within two months of the first publication of this notice. This notice was originally published in the Legal Gazette in Iceland May 18, 2009, so that the time limit for submission of claims will expire on July 18, 2009. Submission of claims shall be made by mail to the bank’s Winding-Up Board at Borgartun 25, Reykjavik, Iceland; their contents must comply with the instructions in the second and third paragraph of Article. 117 of the Act on Bankruptcy etc. No 21/1991. With reference to the previously mentioned provisions of the first paragraph and the second sentence of the third paragraph of Article. 102 of Act No 161/2002, cf. Article. 6 of Act No 44/2009, creditors are directed to include in their claims submissions the position of the claim as of 22 April 2009.

Claims in foreign currency must be submitted in the currency in question. A creditor from a member state of the European Economic Area or the European Free Trade Association may submit claims in a language of that state. Such claims submissions must be accompanied by an Icelandic translation; claims may be submitted in English without an accompanying translation. Other creditors may submit their claims in Icelandic or English.

If a claim is not submitted within the above-mentioned time limit it shall be subject to the same legal effect as a claim not properly submitted, as provided for in Article. 118 of the Act on Bankruptcy etc., No 21/1991, and the claim shall therefore be deemed to be cancelled against Straumur-Burdaras fjarfestingarbanki hf. unless the exceptions in Points 1-6 of the provision apply.

It is specifically reiterated that, in submitting a claim, a creditor is deemed to have agreed to the removal of confidentiality (bank secrecy) with regard to the claim concerned.

A creditors’ meeting will be held on Thursday, 6 August 2009, at 9:30 am at Hilton Hotel Nordica, Sudurlandsbraut 2, Reykjavík. Parties who have submitted claims against the bank are entitled to attend the meeting. This meeting will discuss a list of claims lodged and the decision of the Winding-up Board insofar as it is then available. A list of claims lodged will be accessible to those who have submitted claims against the bank at least one week prior to the above-mentioned meeting.

Further information on submission of claims and handling of claims will be made accessible on the bank’s website: www.straumur.com The Winding-up Board strongly recommends that creditors provide information on their e-mail address or that of their agents to facilitate communication of information.

Reykjavík, 12 May 2009.

Winding-Up Board of Straumur-Burdaras fjarfestingarbanki hf.
