Ukrainian Mediterranean Airlines

| (15) | Following the submission of a revised plan of corrective actions and supporting documentation by Ukrainian Mediterranean Airlines in relation to the implementation of this plan, and following the endorsement and assessment of those by the competent authorities of the Ukraine, there is evidence to demonstrate that the carrier is in the process of implementing corrective actions to eliminate the deficiencies which led to its inclusion in the Community list. The competent authorities of the Ukraine have inspected the carrier and have issued a new Air Operator's Certificate with a 12 month validity period until 15 October 2008. Nevertheless, according to submissions of the competent authorities of the Ukraine dated 13 November 2007, the authorities remain concerned about an insufficient control by the air carrier's management over repeated deficiencies and the quality of flight preparation records. Furthermore, according to the competent authorities of the Ukraine, the frequency of such findings does not allow them to conclude on the solidity and sustainability of the improvements in the carrier despite the positive changes. Finally, the competent authorities of the Ukraine affirm that the carrier ‘needs a lot of resources and much time for compliance with the appropriate standards’. |

Air carriers from the Republic of Indonesia

| (23) | Following the invitation of the Indonesian Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGCA), a team of European experts conducted a fact-finding mission to Indonesia from 5 to 9 November 2007. Its report shows that already in 2007 the DGCA has started putting in place corrective actions meant to improve its ability to implement and enforce the relevant safety standards. The DGCA has informed that during 2007 it has begun with the restructuring of the DGCA and has granted increased powers to its inspectors. However, it also shows that the safety oversight functions on the carriers certified could not be fully executed during the first 10 months of 2007. As of beginning 2008, the DGCA intends to obtain additional human and financial resources in order to fulfil its obligations under the Chicago Convention. The Commission takes note of this progress, and strongly encourages the DGCA to implement all the corrective actions presented to the Commission. The Commission considers, however, that the current status of implementation of corrective actions by the DGCA of Indonesia does not allow, at this stage, the removal of the operating ban imposed on all carriers certified by this authority. |

However, the Commission considers that a decision to withdraw TAAG Angola Airlines from the Community list is, at this stage, premature because there are still significant safety deficiencies which have to be addressed, as well as the recertification process of the carrier by the competent authorities. The Commission will undertake an on-site visit so as to verify the full implementation of the corrective actions which the carrier is still in the process of completing. |

| (37) | The Commission takes note of these developments and intends to verify the evidence of corrective actions implemented by the air carriers concerned before the next update of Regulation (EC) No 474/2006. |

General considerations concerning the other carriers included in Annexes A and B

Therefore, on the basis of the common criteria, it is assessed that these air carriers should continue to be subject to an operating ban (Annex A) or operating restrictions (Annex B), as the case may be. |

of 28 November 2007

laying down rules for the management and distribution of textile quotas established for the year 2008 under Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules (1), and in particular Article 17(3) and (6) and Article 21(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EC) No 517/94 established quantitative restrictions on imports of certain textile products originating in certain third countries to be allocated on a first come, first served basis. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 517/94 established quantitative restrictions on imports of certain textile products originating in certain third countries to be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

| (2) | Under that Regulation it is possible, in certain circumstances, to use other allocation methods, to divide quotas into tranches, or to reserve a proportion of a specific quantitative limit exclusively for applications which are supported by evidence of the results of past import performance. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Under that Regulation it is possible, in certain circumstances, to use other allocation methods, to divide quotas into tranches, or to reserve a proportion of a specific quantitative limit exclusively for applications which are supported by evidence of the results of past import performance.

| (3) | Rules for management of the quotas established for 2008 should be adopted before the quota year begins so that the continuity of trade flows is not affected unduly. |

(3)

Rules for management of the quotas established for 2008 should be adopted before the quota year begins so that the continuity of trade flows is not affected unduly.

| (4) | The measures adopted in previous years, such as those in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1785/2006 laying down rules for the management and distribution of textile quotas established for the year 2007 under Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 (2), proved to be satisfactory and it is therefore appropriate to adopt similar rules for 2008. |

(6)

To guarantee a degree of continuity in trade and efficient quota administration, operators should be allowed to make their initial import authorisation application for 2008 equivalent to the quantity which they imported in 2007.

| (7) | To achieve optimum use of the quantities, an operator who has used up at least one half of the amount already authorised should be permitted to apply for a further amount, provided that quantities are available in the quotas. |

(7)

To achieve optimum use of the quantities, an operator who has used up at least one half of the amount already authorised should be permitted to apply for a further amount, provided that quantities are available in the quotas.

| (8) | For the sake of sound administration, import authorisations should be valid for nine months from the date of issue but only until the end of the year at the latest. Member States should issue licences only after being notified by the Commission that quantities are available and only if an operator can prove the existence of a contract and can certify, in the absence of a specific provision to the contrary, that he has not already been allocated a Community import authorisation under this Regulation for the categories and countries concerned. The competent national authorities should, however, be authorised, in response to importers’ applications, to extend by three months and up to 31 March 2009 licences of which at least one half has been used by the application date. |

(9)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee established by Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 517/94,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The purpose of this Regulation is to lay down rules on the management of quantitative quotas for imports of certain textile products set out in Annexes III B and IV to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 for the year 2008.

Article 2

The quotas referred to in Article 1 shall be allocated according to the chronological order of receipt by the Commission of Member States’ notifications of applications from individual operators, for amounts not exceeding the maximum quantities per operator set out in Annex I.

The maximum quantities shall not, however, apply to operators able to prove to the competent national authorities, when making their first application for 2008, that, in respect of given categories and given third countries, they imported more than the maximum quantities specified for each category pursuant to import licences granted to them for 2007.

In the case of such operators, the competent authorities may authorise imports not exceeding the quantities imported in 2007 from given third countries and in given categories, provided that enough quota capacity is available.

Article 3

Any importer who has already used up 50 % or more of the amount allocated to him under this Regulation may make a further application, in respect of the same category and country of origin, for amounts not exceeding the maximum quantities laid down in Annex I.

Article 4

1.   The competent national authorities listed in Annex II may, from 10.00 o’clock a.m. on 4 January 2008, notify the Commission of the amounts covered by requests for import authorisations.

The time fixed in the first subparagraph shall be understood as Brussels time.

2.   The competent national authorities shall issue authorisations only after being notified by the Commission pursuant to Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 517/94 that quantities are available for importation.

They shall issue authorisations only if an operator:

| (a) | proves the existence of a contract relating to the provision of the goods; and |
| --- | --- |

(a)

proves the existence of a contract relating to the provision of the goods; and

| (b) | certifies in writing that, in respect of the categories and countries concerned:






  (i) | he has not already been allocated an authorisation under this Regulation; or |
| --- | --- | --- |

(b)

certifies in writing that, in respect of the categories and countries concerned:

| (ii) | he has been allocated an authorisation under this Regulation but has used up at least 50 % of it. |
| --- | --- |

(ii)

he has been allocated an authorisation under this Regulation but has used up at least 50 % of it.

3.   Import authorisations shall be valid for nine months from the date of issue, but until 31 December 2008 at the latest.

The competent national authorities may, however, at the importer’s request, grant a three-month extension for authorisations which are at least 50 % used up at the time of the request. Such extension shall in no circumstances expire later than 31 March 2009.

Article 5

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2008.

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

ANNEX TO THE PROTOCOL AMENDING THE TRIPS AGREEMENT

Article 31bis

1.   The obligations of an exporting Member under Article 31(f) shall not apply with respect to the grant by it of a compulsory licence to the extent necessary for the purposes of production of a pharmaceutical product(s) and its export to an eligible importing Member(s) in accordance with the terms set out in paragraph 2 of the Annex to this Agreement.

2.   Where a compulsory licence is granted by an exporting Member under the system set out in this Article and the Annex to this Agreement, adequate remuneration pursuant to Article 31(h) shall be paid in that Member taking into account the economic value to the importing Member of the use that has been authorised in the exporting Member. Where a compulsory licence is granted for the same products in the eligible importing Member, the obligation of that Member under Article 31(h) shall not apply in respect of those products for which remuneration in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph is paid in the exporting Member.

3.   With a view to harnessing economies of scale for the purposes of enhancing purchasing power for, and facilitating the local production of, pharmaceutical products: where a developing or least-developed country WTO Member is a party to a regional trade agreement within the meaning of Article XXIV of the GATT 1994 and the Decision of 28 November 1979 on Differential and More Favourable Treatment Reciprocity and Fuller Participation of Developing Countries (L/4903), at least half of the current membership of which is made up of countries presently on the United Nations list of least-developed countries, the obligation of that Member under Article 31(f) shall not apply to the extent necessary to enable a pharmaceutical product produced or imported under a compulsory licence in that Member to be exported to the markets of those other developing or least-developed country parties to the regional trade agreement that share the health problem in question. It is understood that this will not prejudice the territorial nature of the patent rights in question.

4.   Members shall not challenge any measures taken in conformity with the provisions of this Article and the Annex to this Agreement under subparagraphs 1(b) and 1(c) of Article XXIII of GATT 1994.

5.   This Article and the Annex to this Agreement are without prejudice to the rights, obligations and flexibilities that Members have under the provisions of this Agreement other than paragraphs (f) and (h) of Article 31, including those reaffirmed by the Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health (WT/MIN(01)/DEC/2), and to their interpretation. They are also without prejudice to the extent to which pharmaceutical products produced under a compulsory licence can be exported under the provisions of Article 31(f).

3.

In order to ensure that the products imported under the system are used for the public health purposes underlying their importation, eligible importing Members shall take reasonable measures within their means, proportionate to their administrative capacities and to the risk of trade diversion to prevent re-exportation of the products that have actually been imported into their territories under the system. In the event that an eligible importing Member that is a developing country Member or a least-developed country Member experiences difficulty in implementing this provision, developed country Members shall provide, on request and on mutually agreed terms and conditions, technical and financial cooperation in order to facilitate its implementation.

4.

Members shall ensure the availability of effective legal means to prevent the importation into, and sale in, their territories of products produced under the system and diverted to their markets inconsistently with its provisions, using the means already required to be available under this Agreement. If any Member considers that such measures are proving insufficient for this purpose, the matter may be reviewed in the Council for TRIPS at the request of that Member.

5.

With a view to harnessing economies of scale for the purposes of enhancing purchasing power for, and facilitating the local production of, pharmaceutical products, it is recognised that the development of systems providing for the grant of regional patents to be applicable in the Members described in paragraph 3 of Article 31bis should be promoted. To this end, developed country Members undertake to provide technical cooperation in accordance with Article 67 of this Agreement, including in conjunction with other relevant intergovernmental organisations.

6.

Members recognise the desirability of promoting the transfer of technology and capacity building in the pharmaceutical sector in order to overcome the problem faced by Members with insufficient or no manufacturing capacities in the pharmaceutical sector. To this end, eligible importing Members and exporting Members are encouraged to use the system in a way which would promote this objective. Members undertake to cooperate in paying special attention to the transfer of technology and capacity building in the pharmaceutical sector in the work to be undertaken pursuant to Article 66.2 of this Agreement, paragraph 7 of the Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health and any other relevant work of the Council for TRIPS.

7.

The Council for TRIPS shall review annually the functioning of the system with a view to ensuring its effective operation and shall annually report on its operation to the General Council.

APPENDIX TO THE ANNEX TO THE TRIPS AGREEMENT

Assessment of manufacturing capacities in the pharmaceutical sector
