Information procedure — Technical rules

(2005/C 219/02)

(Text with EEA relevance)

Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society services. (OJ L 204, 21.7.1998, p. 37; OJ L 217, 5.8.1998, p. 18).

Reference (1)

Title

End of three-month standstill period (2)

2005/0405/DK

Amendment to Order No 943 of 16 September 2004 on approval of listed undertakings

14.11.2005

2005/0406/S

The Swedish Maritime Administration's administrative provisions and general guidance on the transport of packaged dangerous goods on ro-ro ships in the Baltic Sea

16.11.2005

2005/0407/D

Technical test regulation for measuring the evenness of carriageway surfaces in longitudinal and transverse directions, 2005 edition; Part: Contiguous measurements (TTR Evenness — contiguous measurements)

21.11.2005

2005/0408/S

The Swedish Maritime Administration's administrative provisions and general guidance on the safe carriage of packaged irradiated nuclear fuel, plutonium and high-level radioactive wastes on board ships (INF Code)

25.11.2005

2005/0409/D

Fifth Order amending the Gaming Order

25.11.2005

The Commission draws attention to the judgement delivered on 30 April 1996 in the ‘CIA Security’ case (C-194/94 — ECR I, p. 2201), in which the Court of Justice ruled that Articles 8 and 9 of Directive 98/34/EC (formerly 83/189/EEC) are to be interpreted as meaning that individuals may rely on them before national courts which must decline to apply a national technical regulation which has not been notified in accordance with the Directive.

This judgement confirms the Commission's communication of 1 October 1986 (OJ C 245, 1.10.1986, p. 4).

Accordingly, breach of the obligation to notify renders the technical regulations concerned inapplicable, and consequently unenforceable against individuals.

| 2. | In Chapter 3 inward processing after the part ‘production accessories’ the following text shall be inserted:
  Background
  International commitments limit the amount of export refunds which may be paid by the EU on Non Annex I (NAI) goods to EUR 415 million per budget year. However, in circumstances where the forecasted requirement for refund exceeds the available funds Article 11 of Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 provides for a system whereby the economic conditions referred to in Article 117(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 shall also be considered fulfilled for certain quantities of basic products used for the manufacture of NAI goods. The quantities of basic products to which this provision applies are determine with the aid of a supply balance based on a comparison between the required available refunds and the forecasted refund requirements — this balance is subject to regular review. The detailed rules for the application of the foregoing provision are contained in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/2001 (2) of 19 July 2001 laying down rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the placement of certain quantities of certain basic products listed in Annex I to the Treaty establishing the European Community under the inward processing arrangements without prior examination of the economic conditions.
  In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1488/2001 the placement of quantities of basic agricultural products under this scheme is subject, during the period of its validity, to the presentation of an inward processing certificate (IP certificate). On presentation, during its period of validity of copy No 1 of the IP certificate, or an extract therefrom, the operator may, under the conditions set out in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, make a single application to the customs authority in a Member State for authorisation to use inward processing arrangements for a quantity of the basic product less than or equal to the quantity referred to in the certificate or the extract. The economic conditions referred to in Article 117(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 shall then be deemed to have been met.
  However, Article 507 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 provides that an authorisation shall take effect on the date of issue
  or at any later date given in the authorisation
  . In addition, once authorisation takes effect, Article 507(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 provides that this authorisation shall have a period of validity not exceeding 3 months in the case of Milk and Milk Products and a period of validity not exceeding 6 months in the case of other relevant agricultural products.
  Problem
  The Commission is reviewing this special NAI IPR scheme in light of the experience gained since it went into operation in September 2002. One of the problem identified is that of operators who approach their customs authorities seeking that the date on which the authorisation takes effect be delayed — in some instances beyond the end of the budget period in which the NAI budgetary shortfall was identified. Where the date of authorisation is delayed it can mean that instead of the basic product arriving in the Community at the time of identified shortfall in the available refunds, it arrives in the Community at a time when there are sufficient refunds available.
  Solution
  Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1488/2001 says that: “The placement of certain quantities of basic products set out in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 under the inward processing arrangements without prior examination of the economic conditions is subject, during its period of validity, to presentation of an inward processing certificate.” Therefore, this should be interpreted as meaning that the relevant authorisation for the use of the inward processing procedure has to take effect during the period of validity of the corresponding IP certificate.
  Furthermore, Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 says that: “The Code shall apply, without prejudice to special rules laid down in other fields to trade between the Community and third countries.” This means that Article 507(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is superseded by Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1488/2001 (lex specialis) with regard to the date on which the authorisation takes effect.’ |

On presentation, during its period of validity of copy No 1 of the IP certificate, or an extract therefrom, the operator may, under the conditions set out in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, make a single application to the customs authority in a Member State for authorisation to use inward processing arrangements for a quantity of the basic product less than or equal to the quantity referred to in the certificate or the extract. The economic conditions referred to in Article 117(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 shall then be deemed to have been met.

However, Article 507 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 provides that an authorisation shall take effect on the date of issue
  or at any later date given in the authorisation
  . In addition, once authorisation takes effect, Article 507(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 provides that this authorisation shall have a period of validity not exceeding 3 months in the case of Milk and Milk Products and a period of validity not exceeding 6 months in the case of other relevant agricultural products.

Problem

The Commission is reviewing this special NAI IPR scheme in light of the experience gained since it went into operation in September 2002. One of the problem identified is that of operators who approach their customs authorities seeking that the date on which the authorisation takes effect be delayed — in some instances beyond the end of the budget period in which the NAI budgetary shortfall was identified. Where the date of authorisation is delayed it can mean that instead of the basic product arriving in the Community at the time of identified shortfall in the available refunds, it arrives in the Community at a time when there are sufficient refunds available.

Solution

Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1488/2001 says that: “The placement of certain quantities of basic products set out in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 under the inward processing arrangements without prior examination of the economic conditions is subject, during its period of validity, to presentation of an inward processing certificate.” Therefore, this should be interpreted as meaning that the relevant authorisation for the use of the inward processing procedure has to take effect during the period of validity of the corresponding IP certificate.

Furthermore, Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 says that: “The Code shall apply, without prejudice to special rules laid down in other fields to trade between the Community and third countries.” This means that Article 507(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is superseded by Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1488/2001 (lex specialis) with regard to the date on which the authorisation takes effect.’

| 3. | The part concerning ‘equivalent goods’ is replaced by the following:
  Special provisions apply inter alia in respect of milk and milk products.
  In accordance with Annex 74 Point 7 the recourse to the use of equivalence for milk and milk products is permitted under the following conditions:
  The following components are taken into consideration: milk dry matter, milk fat matter and milk protein. The weight of each of these components in the import goods shall not exceed the weight of each of these components in the equivalent goods. However, where the economic value of the import goods is determined by only one or two of the abovementioned components, the weight may be calculated on the basis of this or these component(s). Thus it is permitted to compensate natural fluctuations of the contents of dry matter, fat and protein within the reference period which has been determined in the authorisation (up to 4 months). Only the total weight of each of these components in the import goods and in the equivalent goods is relevant. If the total weight of the relevant components in the import goods exceeds the total weight of the relevant components in the equivalent goods, Article 204 of the Code should be applied in such a way that only the exceeding weight is subject to import duties. The exceeding weight has to be converted into the corresponding quantity of import goods.
  Examples for the calculation of import duties:






  (A) | The economic value of skimmed milk powder is determined by milk dry matter and milk protein content.
  100 tonnes of skimmed milk powder with 36 % protein and 95 % milk dry matter content are exported in form of compensating products under inward processing EX/IM in a single consignment. This means that 36 tonnes of protein and 95 tonnes of milk dry matter have been exported.
  Subsequently 50 tonnes of skimmed milk powder with 40 % protein and 98 % dry matter content and 50 tonnes of skimmed milk powder with 38 % protein and 94 % dry matter content are imported and placed under the arrangements for inward processing. This means that 39 tonnes of protein and 96 tonnes dry matter have been placed under the arrangements. The weight of the imported protein and dry matter exceeds the weight of the exported protein and dry matter by 3 tonnes (3 000 kg) and 1 tonne (1 000 kg) respectively. The exceeding weight of each component has to be converted into the corresponding quantity of import goods i.e. 3 000 kg × 100: 39 = 7 692,3 kg; 1 000 kg × 100: 96 = 1.041,67 kg. Import duties are due for the highest weight = 7 692,3 kg import goods. In principle a customs debt is also incurred for 1 041,67 kg of import goods. However, only the component with the highest corresponding quantity of import goods has to be taken into account. Otherwise import duties would be levied twice for the same import goods. |

| (B) | The economic value of cheddar destined for processing into processed cheese/fondue is determined by milk dry matter and milk fat matter.
  100 kg of cheddar containing 67 % total dry matter, 35 % fat matter, 31 % protein and 1 % mineral salts is imported and placed under the inward processing procedure.
  This corresponds to 67 kg of dry matter and 35 kg of fat matter.
  Over a reference period of four months, Community cheddar of 62 % total dry matter, 30 % fat matter, 31 % protein and 1 % mineral salts is used as equivalent goods and exported in the form of processed cheese (compensating product) as follows: | 1st month: 35 kg |
| --- | --- | --- |

(B)

The economic value of cheddar destined for processing into processed cheese/fondue is determined by milk dry matter and milk fat matter.

100 kg of cheddar containing 67 % total dry matter, 35 % fat matter, 31 % protein and 1 % mineral salts is imported and placed under the inward processing procedure.

This corresponds to 67 kg of dry matter and 35 kg of fat matter.

Over a reference period of four months, Community cheddar of 62 % total dry matter, 30 % fat matter, 31 % protein and 1 % mineral salts is used as equivalent goods and exported in the form of processed cheese (compensating product) as follows:

1st month: 35 kg

| | 2nd month: 12 kg |
| --- | --- |

2nd month: 12 kg

| | 3rd month: 27 kg |
| --- | --- |

3rd month: 27 kg

| | 4th month: 29 kg |
| --- | --- |

4th month: 29 kg

I.e. a total of 103 kg of Community cheddar is used as equivalent goods.

This corresponds to 63,86 kg of dry matter (103 × 62 %) and 30,9 kg of fat matter (103 × 30 %).

The result is 3,14 (67 minus 63,86) kg of extra dry matter and 4,1 (35 minus 30,9) kg of extra fat matter.

These two surpluses must be converted into the third-country cheddar equivalent and the greater surplus quantity of cheddar used:

3,14 kg of dry matter corresponds to 4,69 kg of cheddar.

4,1 kg of fat matter corresponds to 11,7 kg of cheddar. The quantity of fat matter must therefore be used since it corresponds to the greater quantity of third-country cheddar to be taxed.
