COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1113/2005

of 12 July 2005

terminating the new exporter review of Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000 imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of solutions of urea and ammonium nitrate (UAN) originating, inter alia, in Algeria

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,

Whereas:

1.   MEASURES IN FORCE

| (1) | The measures currently in force on imports into the Community of solutions of urea and ammonium nitrate (UAN) originating in Algeria are definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000 (2). Pursuant to that same Regulation, anti-dumping measures are also in force on UAN originating in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

The measures currently in force on imports into the Community of solutions of urea and ammonium nitrate (UAN) originating in Algeria are definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000 (2). Pursuant to that same Regulation, anti-dumping measures are also in force on UAN originating in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.

2.   CURRENT INVESTIGATION

2.1.   Request for a review

| (2) | After the imposition of definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of UAN originating in Algeria, the Commission received a request to initiate a ‘new exporter’ review of Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000, pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, from the Algerian company Fertial SPA (the applicant). The applicant claimed that it was not related to the exporting producer in Algeria subject to the anti-dumping measures in force with regard to UAN. Furthermore, it claimed that it had not exported UAN to the Community during the original investigation period (i.e. the period from 1 June 1998 to 31 May 1999), but had started to export UAN to the Community thereafter. |

2.2.   Initiation of a ‘new exporter’ review

| (3) | The Commission examined the evidence submitted by the applicant and considered it sufficient to justify the initiation of a review in accordance with Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. After consultation of the Advisory Committee and after the Community industry concerned had been given the opportunity to comment, the Commission initiated, by Regulation (EC) No 1795/2004 (3), a review of Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000 with regard to the applicant and commenced its investigation. |

The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004 (the investigation period or IP).

3.   RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION

| (9) | The investigation confirmed that the applicant had not exported the product concerned during the original investigation period and that it had begun exporting to the Community after this period. |
| --- | --- |

(9)

The investigation confirmed that the applicant had not exported the product concerned during the original investigation period and that it had begun exporting to the Community after this period.

| (10) | The Community industry argued that the applicant was related to an exporting producer involved in the original investigation. Although a company related to the applicant also supplied a raw material to the exporting producer involved in the original investigation, nothing indicated that such a relationship would go beyond normal commercial transactions. Indeed, it was found that the company related to the applicant was not related to the exporting producer involved in the original investigation. Accordingly, the argument that the applicant was related to an exporting producer involved in the original investigation was considered to be unfounded. |

(11)

However, the investigation revealed that the applicant's cost accounting records contained significant shortcomings and that they could not be regarded as an appropriate basis to determine the applicant's own dumping margin.

| (12) | It was found that costs of raw materials reported by the applicant were based on rough estimates for half of the IP, rather than actual costs. |
| --- | --- |

(12)

It was found that costs of raw materials reported by the applicant were based on rough estimates for half of the IP, rather than actual costs.

| (13) | In addition, the reported costs, which were drawn from the company's cost accounting system, could not be reconciled with the general accounting records. Indeed, no link could be established between the two accounting systems (cost accounting and general accounting) normally used by the company, since the figures contained in the cost accounting system records could not be matched with those contained in the general accounting records. Finally, no evidence was available to show that the company's cost accounting records were correct and reflected actual costs incurred during the IP. Therefore, it could not be shown that the records reasonably reflected the costs associated with the production and sale of the product under consideration. |

Consequently, it was not possible to determine an individual margin of dumping.

4.   CONCLUSION

| (15) | It should be noted that the purpose of the present review, initiated upon Fertial's request, was to determine the individual margin of dumping of the applicant, which was allegedly different from the current residual margin applicable to imports of UAN from Algeria. |
| --- | --- |

(15)

It should be noted that the purpose of the present review, initiated upon Fertial's request, was to determine the individual margin of dumping of the applicant, which was allegedly different from the current residual margin applicable to imports of UAN from Algeria.

| (16) | As the investigation could not establish that the applicant's individual dumping margin was actually different from the residual dumping margin established in the original investigation, the request made by the applicant should be rejected and the new exporter review terminated. The residual anti-dumping margin found during the original investigation, i.e. 9,7 % (or EUR 6,88 per tonne) should consequently be maintained, as nothing indicated that the applicant was dumping at a different level. |

5.   RETROACTIVE LEVYING OF THE ANTI-DUMPING DUTY

| (17) | In the light of the above findings, the anti-dumping duty applicable to the applicant shall be levied retroactively on imports of the product concerned which have been made subject to registration pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1795/2004. |

(18)

All parties concerned have been informed of the essential facts and considerations which lead to the above conclusions.

| (19) | The applicant contested the Commission's conclusions and argued that all information requested had been provided. Nevertheless, no new evidence was submitted which would warrant a revision of the above conclusions, and they were therefore confirmed. |

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in rice (2), and in particular Article 14(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund. |

Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of those Regulations and the prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund.

| (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 (3), 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 Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appropriate. |

In accordance with the first paragraph 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 each month.

| (4) | The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met. |

However, Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark provides that the necessary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is necessary to adapt the refund rate applying to cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages. |

| (2) | Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provides that when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the existing situation and the future trend with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on the Community market on the one hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the world market on the other. The same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market. |

For certain products processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund at the present time. |

COMMISSION DECISION

of 29 September 2004

relating to a proceeding under Article 81 of the EC Treaty (Case COMP/C.37.750/B2 — Brasseries Kronenbourg — Brasseries Heineken)

(notified under document number C(2004) 3597)

(Only the Dutch and French versions are authentic)

(2005/503/EC)

On 29 September 2004, the Commission adopted a decision relating to a proceeding under Article 81 of the EC Treaty. In accordance with the provisions of Article 30 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 (1), the Commission herewith publishes the names of the parties and the main content of the decision, including any penalties imposed, having regard to the legitimate interest of undertakings in the protection of their business interests. A non-confidential version of the full text of the decision can be found in the authentic languages of the case and in the Commission’s working languages at DG COMP web-site at http://europa.eu.int/comm/competition/index_en.html

I.   INTRODUCTION

| (1) | The decision relates to an ‘armistice’ agreement regarding the sale of beer in France for consumption away from home (on-trade sector). The Commission has gathered evidence showing that on 21 March 1996, the two main brewery groups in France, Brasseries Kronenbourg SA and Heineken France SA (previously: Sogebra) and their respective mother companies at the time of the facts, Groupe Danone and Heineken NV, have concluded this agreement, following an ‘acquisition war’ regarding drinks wholesalers. The agreement concerns, on the one hand, the acquisition of drinks wholesalers, with the aim of bringing a rapid end to the rising costs of acquiring these companies, and on the other hand, the balancing of the integrated distribution networks of the parties concerned. The ‘armistice’ agreement has, however, never been implemented. |

II.   SUMMARY OF THE CASE

1.   Origin of the case and procedural steps

| (2) | The case started on the basis of information provided by Interbrew NV (now Inbev NV) in the framework of the Belgian brewery cartel case (Commission Decision 2003/569/EC of 5 December 2001 relating to a proceeding pursuant to Article 81 of the EC Treaty, (Case IV/37.614/F3 PO/Interbrew and Alken-Maes) (OJ L 200, 7.8.2003, p. 1)). On the basis of this information, the Commission conducted several inspections in the year 2000 and has completed its investigation by requests for information. |

On the basis of this information, the Commission conducted several inspections in the year 2000 and has completed its investigation by requests for information.

All parties have submitted a written reply to the Commission. They have, however, renounced their right to a hearing. |

(5)

Together, the companies participating in the agreement represented approximately three quarters of the volume of beer consumed in France in 1999.

3.   Nature of the infringement

| (6) | The Commission withheld the following infringement: on 12 February 1996, Heineken NV and Heineken France SA announced their intention to acquire the groups Fischer and Saint Arnould to Groupe Danone and Brasseries Kronenbourg SA. Since the groups Fischer and Saint Arnould distributed an important volume of Kronenbourg beer, this triggered a genuine acquisition war. Each brewery group thus acquired a large number of drinks wholesalers, leading to a strong inflation of the acquisition price of such wholesalers. On 21 March 1996, Brasseries Kronenbourg SA, Heineken France SA and their respective mother companies, Groupe Danone and Heineken NV, therefore concluded an ‘armistice’ agreement regarding the acquisition of wholesalers and the balancing of their integrated distribution networks. In particular, they agreed on:






  — | a temporary acquisition stop (prohibition to proceed with acquisitions of wholesalers outside an agreed list), |

—

the balancing of the total volume of beer distributed through the network of each party, and

| — | the balancing of the volume of beer brands commercialised by each party which should be distributed by the other party. |
| --- | --- |

—

the balancing of the volume of beer brands commercialised by each party which should be distributed by the other party.

| (7) | The agreement is made clear from an internal note of the group Heineken. Groupe Danone and Brasseries Kronenbourg SA have moreover not contested the existence of the armistice agreement. It should however be noted that the Commission does not have any proof of implementation of the agreement. On the contrary, certain wholesalers indicated on the agreed list as attributed to one party have finally been acquired by the other party and the parties continued to acquire wholesalers outside the agreed list. Moreover, in the period from 1996 to 2002, the parties tended to supplant their competitors’ beer by their own beer within the distribution network under their control. An agreement intended to ensure equilibrium between brands thus became pointless. |

III.   LEGAL ASSESSMENT

1.   Restriction by subject

| (8) | The ‘armistice’ agreement of 21 March 1996 was first intended to control investment by the Heineken and Danone groups, since its purpose was to bring about a rapid end to the rising cost of acquiring wholesalers. Moreover, the agreement is akin to one whose purpose was to share the on trade-markets between the two groups. Indeed, by establishing the dual equilibrium mentioned in point 2.3 above, the parties were aiming to ensure that one party did not dominate the other on this market. |

Indeed, by establishing the dual equilibrium mentioned in point 2.3 above, the parties were aiming to ensure that one party did not dominate the other on this market.

| (9) | It is settled case-law that, for the purpose of applying Article 81(1), of the Treaty, there is no need to take account of the actual effects of an agreement once it appears that its aim is to prevent, restrict or distort competition within the common market. Since the agreement at issue in this case had as its object the restriction of competition by requiring a freeze on acquisitions and by establishing equilibrium between the parties’ integrated distribution networks, the Commission concludes that there is an infringement within the meaning of article 81 of the Treaty even if the agreement did not produce any effects. |

2.   Appreciable effect on trade between Member States

| (10) | It is settled case-law that, in order that an agreement between undertakings may affect trade between Member States, it must be possible to envisage, with a sufficient degree of probability on the basis of a set of objective factors of law or fact that it may have an influence, direct or indirect, actual or potential, the pattern of trade between Member states. This is the case here. |

This is the case here.

| (11) | The distribution networks of the French breweries constitute one of the main means of access to the market for foreign breweries that do not have such networks in France. Under these circumstances, the armistice agreement, which aims at establishing equilibrium at national level between the integrated distribution networks of Heineken NV/Heineken France SA and Groupe Danone/Brasseries Kronenbourg SA, could influence the conditions of access to the on-trade market for foreign breweries and thus the volume of importations. Moreover, Interbrew France, main importer of beer in France, depended and still depends on the distribution networks of Heineken France SA and Brasseries Kronenbourg SA to distribute an important volume of its product on the on-trade market in France. An agreement that aims at restricting competition between the distribution networks of the latter companies could influence the commercial conditions which these companies propose to Interbrew France for the distribution of its products. |

The distribution networks of the French breweries constitute one of the main means of access to the market for foreign breweries that do not have such networks in France. Under these circumstances, the armistice agreement, which aims at establishing equilibrium at national level between the integrated distribution networks of Heineken NV/Heineken France SA and Groupe Danone/Brasseries Kronenbourg SA, could influence the conditions of access to the on-trade market for foreign breweries and thus the volume of importations. Moreover, Interbrew France, main importer of beer in France, depended and still depends on the distribution networks of Heineken France SA and Brasseries Kronenbourg SA to distribute an important volume of its product on the on-trade market in France. An agreement that aims at restricting competition between the distribution networks of the latter companies could influence the commercial conditions which these companies propose to Interbrew France for the distribution of its products.

IV.   FINES

1.   Basic amount

Gravity of the infringement

| (12) | The Commission takes into account: (i) the nature of the infringement; (ii) its actual impact on the market when this can be measured, and (iii) the size of the relevant geographic market.






  (i) | The armistice agreement is a horizontal agreement designed to restrict competition between undertakings holding large market shares. However, an agreement designed to bring wholesaler acquisition costs under control in the short term by putting an end to an acquisition war cannot be regarded as a clear infringement on a par with a price-fixing agreement. As far as the agreement establishing longer-term equilibrium between the two brewery groups’ distribution networks is concerned, any such agreement is akin to a market-sharing agreement. However, what is involved is not market sharing in the ‘conventional’ sense, since the agreement was intended mainly to prevent one group from dominating the market rather than to eliminate all competition between the groups or impede third parties. |

(b)

‘euro coins unfit for circulation’ mean genuine euro circulation coins which are defective or whose technical parameters and identification characteristics have been altered notably by relatively long circulation or by accident (dimensions, weight, colour, corrosion, edge damages), as well as deliberately altered coins, other than counterfeits. Regarding, in particular, the technical specifications, for the purposes of this document, coins are unfit if one of the dimensions is different from the one specified for the respective euro coin by at least 0.30 millimetres and/or the weight by at least 5 %.

Article 2

Recommended practices

Member States should carry out or supervise the authentication of the euro coins circulating on their territory in line with the provisions of Part II of this Recommendation.

Member States should adopt common rules for handling, reimbursement or replacement of unfit euro coins in line with the provisions of Part III of this Recommendation.

PART II

AUTHENTICATION OF EURO COINS

Article 3

Authentication and testing requirements

The following euro coin denominations should be authenticated as a minimum: EUR 2, EUR 1, 50 cent.

Authentication should be carried out centrally and/or within the coin handling process. To that effect, Member States should be in contact with the credit institutions and other professional cash handlers concerned, with regard to the implementation of the authentication procedures provided for in Articles 4 to 6 of this Recommendation.

The quantity of euro coins to be authenticated each year in each of the Member States should amount to at least 10 % of the total net volume of the relevant denominations issued by that Member State until the end of the previous year. To ensure the authentication of the relevant quantity of euro coins, in line with Articles 4 to 6, Member States should carry out checks to the appropriate number of credit institutions and other professional cash handlers.

Article 4

The tests for controlling the sorting machines

The control of the functioning of sorting machines should be carried out by means of a detection test, preceded, if applicable, by a check for sorting, as follows:

| 1. | The purpose of the sorting test is to check that the machine is capable of correctly sorting all the euro coin denominations. This is applicable in the absence of national rules governing the sorting capacity.
  The sorting test requires at least one hundred genuine euro coins of each of the denominations to be tested. These coins of all denominations are mixed together and passed through the machine three times.
  The acceptance ratio should be at least 98 % in each of the trials. In cases where the genuine euro coins used for the sorting and detection tests are at the border of euro specified tolerance ranges, a lower acceptance ratio may be considered.
  Any genuine coins rejected by a machine should be re-tested. After three consecutive trials, all genuine coins should be accepted. |

| 2. | The purpose of the detection test is to check that the machine is capable of rejecting euro coin-like objects that are not in conformity with the specifications of the euro coins, in particular counterfeit coins.
  The detection test requires samples of counterfeit coins for all denominations concerned, with a definition also covering materials used for producing coin-like objects and non-euro coins. For that purpose, a number of representative families should be used, coming from the stocks deposited with the Coin National Analysis Centres (CNACs) or the European Technical and Scientific Centre (ETSC). The ETSC, in collaboration with the CNACs defines and updates these families.
  These counterfeits are mixed with an appropriate number of genuine coins, defined in collaboration with the ETSC and passed through the machine three times. All counterfeits should be rejected on each of the trials. |

In the respect of national rules, the tests provided for in this Article should be performed at least once a year on each of the sorting machines at the sites where the authentication takes place, at the establishments selected in line with Article 3.

Article 5

Possibilities for additional testing of the sorting machines at a CNAC or the ETSC

With a view to enabling manufacturers of sorting machines to obtain the indications necessary for the initial adjustment of their equipment, tests may be carried out at certain CNACs, the ETSC or, following bilateral agreement, on the premises of the manufacturer. These tests should be carried out on the basis of modalities and conditions of confidentiality defined in collaboration with the ETSC.

Following the testing at a CNAC or the ETSC, a summary report is issued for the attention of the entity concerned and copied to the ETSC. The report is kept for at least three years and may be used for comparison purposes.

The report should, as a minimum, include the identification of the machine tested, the test results and global assessment, the precise contents of the sample batches used for the tests, the acceptance criteria, the date and signature of the authorised person.

The CNACs and the ETSC maintain a register of the performance of sorting machines tested on their premises. A consolidated list of sorting machines having successfully undergone the tests provided for in the second paragraph of this Article can be consulted at the CNACs or the ETSC, on an indicative basis.

Article 6

Auditing and reporting

Member States should monitor the capacity of the institutions selected in line with Article 3 to authenticate euro coins on the basis, as a minimum, of the following elements:

| — | existence of a written policy and organization in the sorting centre for detecting counterfeits, unfit euro coins and euro coin-like objects, |

Each Member State should report annually to the ETSC on the activity of authentication, including the controls and audits, as well as the volume of authenticated euro coins and ratio of each category of rejected objects against the amount of each sorted denomination in circulation.

PART III

HANDLING EURO COINS UNFIT FOR CIRCULATION

Article 7

Reimbursement or replacement of unfit euro coins

Each Member State should provide for reimbursement or, if appropriate, replacement of euro coins unfit for circulation, whose denomination should be identified, irrespective of national side, for companies and individuals established in that Member State or outside the euro area. Member States should ensure similar conditions for reimbursement of unfit coins with a view to allowing submissions irrespective of the country where they were removed from circulation, based on the evaluation provided for in Article 12.

Member States may decide to refuse reimbursement of deliberately altered genuine euro coins if this is in conflict with national practice or tradition (disrespect of king’s effigy, disrespect of issuing authority etc.).

Article 8

Handling fees

A handling fee should, in principle, be imposed for reimbursement or replacement of unfit coins. The fee should be uniform throughout the euro area and should amount to 5 % of the nominal value of the submission.

A quantity of up to one kilogramme of unfit coins per denomination may be exempted from the fee mentioned in the first paragraph each year for one submitting entity.

An additional fee of 15 % of the nominal value of each bag/box may be charged in case a bag/box contains counterfeits or shows anomalies, such as wrongly sorted coins, non-euro coins or euro coins with a non-identifiable denomination or other discrepancies, when these anomalies are at a proportion requiring a more detailed examination, in line with Article 10.

Member States may provide for general exemptions from handling fees in cases where submitting entities cooperate closely and regularly with the authorities in withdrawing from circulation unfit euro coins.

Transport and related costs should be borne by the submitting entity.

Counterfeit coins delivered to the authorities should not be subject to handling or other fees.

Article 9

Packaging of unfit euro coins

The submitting entity should sort the coins per denomination in standardised bags or boxes in line with the standards applicable in the individual Member States to whom the request is addressed. Failure to meet these standards may lead to refusal of the submission.

In the absence of national packaging standards, the bags or boxes should comprise:

| — | 500 coins for the denominations of EUR 2 or EUR 1, |
| --- | --- |

—

500 coins for the denominations of EUR 2 or EUR 1,

| — | 1 000 coins for the denominations of EUR 0,50, EUR 0,20 and EUR 0,10, |
| --- | --- |

—

1 000 coins for the denominations of EUR 0,50, EUR 0,20 and EUR 0,10,

| — | 2 000 coins for the denominations of EUR 0,05, EUR 0,02 and EUR 0,01. |
| --- | --- |

—

2 000 coins for the denominations of EUR 0,05, EUR 0,02 and EUR 0,01.

Each bag/box should bear clear indications of the submitting entity, the value and the denomination contained, the weight, date of packaging and bag/box number. The submitting entity should provide a packaging list with an overview of the bags/boxes submitted.

In case the total quantity of unfit euro coins is smaller than the above standards, unfit euro coins should be sorted by denomination and may be submitted in non-standard packaging.

Article 10

Checks by Member States

1.   Member States should check the unfit coins submitted for:

| — | the quantity declared for each of the bags/boxes, |
| --- | --- |

—

the quantity declared for each of the bags/boxes,

| — | authenticity, with a view to ensuring that there are no counterfeits, |
| --- | --- |

—

authenticity, with a view to ensuring that there are no counterfeits,

| — | visual appearance, to determine that they are in line with the provisions of Article 7. |
| --- | --- |

—

visual appearance, to determine that they are in line with the provisions of Article 7.

2.   Checks for the quantity of coins submitted should be performed by weighing each bag/box. A tolerance range of – 2 % and + 1 % should be applied to the nominal weight of the standard packaging referred to in the second paragraph of Article 9. An equivalent control should be applied when national packaging conventions are different from the above standards. Additionally, each bag/box should be checked for visible anomalies.

In the event that the weight of the bag/box is outside the tolerance range, the entire quantity of the concerned bag/box will need to be processed.

3.   Checks for authenticity and visual appearance may be conducted through sampling. As a minimum, a representative sample of 10 % of the quantities submitted should be checked for the denominations of EUR 2, EUR 1, EUR 0,50, EUR 0,20 and EUR 0,10.

4.   Checks for authenticity should be performed on the samples mentioned in paragraph 3 by means of the following procedures:

| (i) | in the case of mechanical/automatic sorting, the machines should be adjusted according to the procedures provided for in Part II of this Recommendation; |
| --- | --- |

(i)

in the case of mechanical/automatic sorting, the machines should be adjusted according to the procedures provided for in Part II of this Recommendation;

| (ii) | in other cases, the criteria of the CNACs are applied. |
| --- | --- |

(ii)

in other cases, the criteria of the CNACs are applied.

In the event that one counterfeit is detected, the entire quantity in the bag/box will need to be authenticated.

5.   Checks for visual appearance should be performed on the samples mentioned in paragraph 3 with a view to determining whether a bag/box shows anomalies, such as wrongly sorted coins, non-euro coins or euro coins with a non-identifiable denomination. In case such anomalies occur at a proportion greater than 1 %, the relevant bag/box should be re-checked and the proportion of non-reimbursable coins determined by means of one of the following methods:

| (i) | the entire quantity of coins in each concerned bag/box is examined manually, in a way defined by the competent national authorities; |
| --- | --- |

(i)

the entire quantity of coins in each concerned bag/box is examined manually, in a way defined by the competent national authorities;

| (ii) | a 10 % sample from the bag/box, additional to the one provided for in paragraph 3, is checked for visual appearance. The combined proportion of non-reimbursable coins counted in the two samples is then extended to the entire content of the bag/box. |
| --- | --- |

(ii)

a 10 % sample from the bag/box, additional to the one provided for in paragraph 3, is checked for visual appearance. The combined proportion of non-reimbursable coins counted in the two samples is then extended to the entire content of the bag/box.

Article 11

Flow of information and communication

Member States should report annually to the Commission and the Economic and Financial Committee (EFC) the unfit euro coins reimbursed or replaced. The information should include the quantity of such coins and their denomination. Moreover, the Commission will prepare regular reports for the EFC.

Member States should ensure that information concerning the services designated for reimbursement or replacement and specific modalities, such as packaging standards and fees, be made available on the appropriate web sites and through the appropriate publications.

PART IV

FINAL PROVISIONS

Article 12

Evaluation

Three years after the publication of this Recommendation, the present rules will be evaluated in the light of the experience gained, inter alia, as regards the harmonisation of the conditions for reimbursement or replacement of unfit coins provided for in Article 7, the appropriateness of abrogating exemptions from handling fees provided for in Article 8, the possibility of providing for a compensation mechanism among Member States for the unfit coins reimbursed and the potential need for legislation.

inter alia

Article 13

Addressees

This recommendation is addressed to the participating Member States as defined in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 (2).
