The additional travel costs invoiced to the applicant shall include the time spent by experts in the means of transport outside the territories of the Member States. The relevant number of hours shall be invoiced at the hourly fee.

Article 7

At the request of the applicant and with the agreement of the Executive Director of the Agency, a certification task may exceptionally be carried out as follows:

| (a) | by assigning categories of staff to it which the Agency would not normally assign to it under its standard procedures, and/or |
| --- | --- |

| --- | --- |

(b)

by assigning such human resources to it that the operation is performed faster than under the Agency’s standard procedures.

In such a case, an exceptional increase shall be applied to the fee levied in order to cover all of the costs incurred by the Agency in meeting the special request.

Article 8

1.   The fee shall be payable by the applicant. It shall be payable in EUR. The applicant shall ensure that the Agency is paid the full amount due. Possible bank charges related to the payment shall be paid by the applicant.

2.   The issue, maintenance or amendment of a certificate shall be subject to prior payment of the full amount of the fee due, unless agreed differently between the Agency and the applicant. In the event of non payment, the Agency may revoke the relevant certificate after having given formal warning to the applicant.

3.   Amounts less than or equal to EUR 1 000 shall be paid when the application is filled, in one instalment.

4.   The scale of fees applied by the Agency and the terms of payment shall be communicated to applicants when they submit their applications.

5.   For all certification tasks which give rise to the payment of fees calculated on an hourly basis, the Agency may, on request, provide the applicant with an estimate. The estimate shall be amended by the Agency if it appears that the task is simpler or can be carried out faster than initially foreseen or, on the contrary, if it is more complex and takes longer to carry out than the Agency could reasonably have foreseen.

6.   If, after a first check, the Agency decides not to accept an application, any fees already paid shall be returned to the applicant, with the exception of an amount to cover the administrative costs of handling the application. That amount shall be equivalent to two times the hourly fee set out in Part II of the Annex.

7.   If a certification task has to be interrupted by the Agency because the applicant has insufficient resources or fails to comply with the applicable requirements, or because the applicant decides to abandon its application or to postpone its project, the balance of any fees due, calculated on an hourly basis but not exceeding the applicable flat fee, shall be payable in full at the time the Agency stops working. The relevant number of hours shall be invoiced at the hourly fee set out in Part II of the Annex. When, on demand of the applicant, the Agency starts again a certification tasks previously interrupted, this task shall be charged as a new project.

Article 9

The fees shall be demanded and levied by the Agency only.

Member States shall not levy fees for certification tasks, even if they carry out those tasks on behalf of the Agency.

The Agency shall reimburse the Member States for the certification tasks they provide on its behalf.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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,

Whereas:

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

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

| (2) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds. |

| (3) | That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff. |

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. |

| (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. |

The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.

| (5) | Taking into account the settlement between the European Community and the United States of America on Community exports of pasta products to the United States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination. |

| (6) | Pursuant to Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, a reduced rate of export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question, used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods. |

| (7) | Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the price of the cereals used in their manufacture. 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. |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) Νo 598/2007

of 31 May 2007

fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14 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 those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article 14 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 those Regulations and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.

| (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. |

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.

| (3) | Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated. |

(3)

Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3) on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these products is being calculated.

| (4) | The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product. |

(4)

The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed products should be graduated on the basis of the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of the individual product concerned, this content being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the processed product.

| (5) | There is no need at present to fix an export refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of potential exports and in particular the nature and origin of these products. 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. |

The refund must be fixed once a month. It may be altered in the intervening period.

| (8) | Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat treatment following which a refund might be granted that does not correspond to the quality of the product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on these products, containing pregelatinised starch, no export refund is to be granted. |

In addition to the control of nematodes in certain agricultural uses, the notifier now has applied for an amendment to those specific provisions as regards the control of insects. In order to support such an extension of the use, the notifier submitted additional information.

| (4) | The Netherlands and the United Kingdom evaluated the information and data submitted by the company. They informed the Commission in May and November 2006, respectively, that they conclude that the requested extension of use does not cause any risks in addition to those already taken into account in the specific provisions for fosthiazate in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and in the Commission review report for that substance. This is particularly the case since the extension only concerns the organisms controlled, but not the application parameters as set out in the specific provisions of Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. |

COMMISSION DECISION

of 29 May 2007

amending Decisions 84/247/EEC and 84/419/EEC as regards herd-books for animals of the bovine species

(notified under document number C(2007) 2199)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/371/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 77/504/EEC of 25 July 1977 on pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species (1), and in particular the second, third and fourth indent of Article 6 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Breeders' organizations or associations which maintain or establish herd-books for pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species may be officially recognised only if they comply with Commission Decision 84/247/EEC (2). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Breeders' organizations or associations which maintain or establish herd-books for pure-bred breeding animals of the bovine species may be officially recognised only if they comply with Commission Decision 84/247/EEC (2).

| (2) | Animals of the bovine species may be entered in a herd-book only if they comply with Decision 84/419/EEC (3). |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Animals of the bovine species may be entered in a herd-book only if they comply with Decision 84/419/EEC (3).

| (3) | Decision 84/419/EEC does not contain specific provisions for the establishment of herd-books for new breeds, and only allows pure-bred animals of the same breed for entry into the main section of the herd-book of a particular breed. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Decision 84/419/EEC does not contain specific provisions for the establishment of herd-books for new breeds, and only allows pure-bred animals of the same breed for entry into the main section of the herd-book of a particular breed.

| (4) | The criteria for entering bovine animals in herd-books should however consider the specific situation of establishing new breeds. The creation of a new breed may imply the entry of animals from other breeds into the main section of a herd-book. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

The criteria for entering bovine animals in herd-books should however consider the specific situation of establishing new breeds. The creation of a new breed may imply the entry of animals from other breeds into the main section of a herd-book.

| (5) | It is therefore necessary, during the period of establishment of a new herd-book, to provide for a derogation from the rule according to which only pure-bred animals of the same breed can enter the main section of the herd-book of a particular breed. This period of establishment should be defined in the breeding programme of the breeders' organization or association. In order to avoid confusion with the name of an existing breed a distinct name should be chosen for the new breed. |

This period of establishment should be defined in the breeding programme of the breeders' organization or association. In order to avoid confusion with the name of an existing breed a distinct name should be chosen for the new breed.

| (6) | With a view to the progressive improvement of existing breeds, Decision 84/419/EEC allows the entry into the supplementary section of a herd-book of females from other breeds or non pure-bred females only. Their genes may be infused into the main section through their female progeny only. |

(6)

With a view to the progressive improvement of existing breeds, Decision 84/419/EEC allows the entry into the supplementary section of a herd-book of females from other breeds or non pure-bred females only. Their genes may be infused into the main section through their female progeny only.

| (7) | In order to allow more flexibility to approved breeding organisations the entry of males into the supplementary section should also be allowed. In order to avoid uncontrolled genetic changes of the breed, their genes should be infused into the main section through their female progeny only. |
| --- | --- |

(7)

In order to allow more flexibility to approved breeding organisations the entry of males into the supplementary section should also be allowed. In order to avoid uncontrolled genetic changes of the breed, their genes should be infused into the main section through their female progeny only.

| (8) | In order to ensure the mutual recognition between herd-books of the same breed and to inform buyers of breeding animals and their germ products, the internal rules of officially recognised breeding organizations and associations should clearly mention the name of the breed and, in case of a new breed, define the establishing period. |

(8)

In order to ensure the mutual recognition between herd-books of the same breed and to inform buyers of breeding animals and their germ products, the internal rules of officially recognised breeding organizations and associations should clearly mention the name of the breed and, in case of a new breed, define the establishing period.

| (9) | It is furthermore necessary to include within the criteria for the recognition of organisations associations and for entering cattle in herd-books appropriate references to Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 820/97 (4). |

| (7) | Since the IEE Programme for 2007-2013 has been integrated into the CIP, and in order to ensure consistency in the manner in which projects are implemented under the CIP, the IEEA should be entrusted with certain implementation tasks related to the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme, which also forms part of the CIP, in addition to the execution of the IEE Programme for 2007-2013. Moreover, since Marco Polo II shares common objectives with the CIP, and in particular with the IEE programme, namely to improve energy efficiency in transport and reduce its environmental impact, and both programmes could benefit from important synergies, certain implementation tasks related to Marco Polo II should also be delegated to the IEEA. |
