ANNEX IV

Eligibility rules applicable to expenditure relating to workshops

(see Article 15(4))

I.   TRAVEL COSTS

1.   TICKETS AND TRAVEL EXPENSES

1.1.   General rules

Participants must use the most appropriate and cost-effective means of transport. As far as possible, public or shared transport is to be used taking account, among other things, of the environmental impact.

All travel is deemed to start on the premises of the laboratories. Participants are directly responsible for any detours made for private reasons, including departures from and/or returns to any other place, and must indicate such detours and pay the excess cost involved.

Travel expenses incurred for the participation in the workshop are to be reimbursed exclusively based on the most appropriate and cost-effective means of transport between the laboratories’ premises and the place where the workshop is organised.

Reimbursement must take into account the meetings’ duration and must be based on the best rates available from the preferential rates negotiated and other promotional fares available on the market.

1.2.   Travel by rail

Travel expenses are to be reimbursed for first-class travel by the shortest and most cost-effective route.

1.3.   Travel by air

| (1) | Air travel is to be booked, at the lowest available rates, taking into account the duration of meetings:






  (a) | in economy class or equivalent; |
| --- | --- | --- |

(1)

(a)

in economy class or equivalent;

| (b) | in business class or equivalent, if the journey includes at least one segment involving at least 4 hours continuous flying time. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

in business class or equivalent, if the journey includes at least one segment involving at least 4 hours continuous flying time.

| (2) | Where the fare conditions require a weekend stay (Sunday rule), additional daily allowances may be paid if cost-effective overall.
  Participants are to request and retain from the approved travel agency the different rates available (including/excluding a weekend stay) so that the most cost-effective decision is reached. Nevertheless, participants are not under an obligation to spend the weekend at the place of workshop for the sole purpose of more cost-effective travel arrangements.
  Used tickets, original boarding cards and hotel invoices are to be provided to the Commission upon its request. |
| --- | --- |

| --- | --- |

—

more than 78 hours but not more than 84 hours: three and a half times the daily allowances, and so on.

Method of length calculation

The hours taken into account to calculate the daily allowance are:

| — | for air travel: including 2 hours before the flight departure and 2 hours after the flight arrival, |
| --- | --- |

—

for air travel: including 2 hours before the flight departure and 2 hours after the flight arrival,

| — | for train travel: including 0,5 hour before train departure and 0,5 hour after the train arrival. |
| --- | --- |

—

for train travel: including 0,5 hour before train departure and 0,5 hour after the train arrival.

Expenses covered

The daily allowance is to be paid at a flat-rate amount and is considered to cover breakfast, two main meals and all other sundries, travel means as stipulated under point 1.5 and the cost of telecommunication tools.

Amount of the daily allowance

The amount of the daily allowance is to be determined in accordance with Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1066/2006 of 27 June 2006 adjusting from 1 July 2006 the scale for missions by officials and other servants of the European Communities in the Member States (1).

III.   HOTEL COSTS

The ceiling for hotel costs is to be determined in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1066/2006.

IV.   OTHER

If the maximum number of participants provided for in Article 15(1) of the present Regulation is not reached, but a minimum of twenty participants from National Reference Laboratories have attended the workshop, the Commission is to accept that a maximum of three participants from Union reference laboratories may receive daily allowances, depending on the length of their attendance at the workshop.

Regarding travel and hotel costs of those three participants, the Commission is not to reimburse them, unless the workshop takes places in another town than that of the laboratory.

In addition, payment of such daily allowance as well as travel and hotel costs is only to be made where the maximum Union financial aid is not exceeded.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 16 September 2011

on establishing a common fiscal marker for gas oils and kerosene

(notified under document C(2011) 6422)

(2011/544/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 95/60/EC of 27 November 1995 on fiscal marking of gas oils and kerosene (1), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | For the proper functioning of the internal market, and in particular to prevent tax evasion, Directive 95/60/EC provides for a common marking system to identify gas oils, falling within CN code 2710 00 69, and kerosene, falling within CN code 2710 00 55, which have been released for consumption exempt from excise duty, or subject to a reduced excise duty rate. Since 2002, the first code has been split into CN codes 2710 19 41, 2710 19 45 and 2710 19 49, in order to take into account the sulphur content of gas oil, and the second code has been transposed as CN code 2710 19 25. |
