COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 734/2007

of 11 June 2007

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 37(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas:

| (1) | For intervention operations for which a unit amount has not been set by market organisation rules, basic Community financing rules have been set by Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 (2), in particular as to the method of establishing the amounts to be financed, the financing of expenditure resulting from tying up the funds needed for intervention purchasing, the valuation of stocks to be carried over from one year to another and the financing of expenditure resulting from the physical operations of storage. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

For intervention operations for which a unit amount has not been set by market organisation rules, basic Community financing rules have been set by Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 (2), in particular as to the method of establishing the amounts to be financed, the financing of expenditure resulting from tying up the funds needed for intervention purchasing, the valuation of stocks to be carried over from one year to another and the financing of expenditure resulting from the physical operations of storage.

| (2) | Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 provides that the interest charges incurred by Member States in mobilising the funds used to purchase public intervention products are to be financed by the Community at a uniform interest rate. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 provides that the interest charges incurred by Member States in mobilising the funds used to purchase public intervention products are to be financed by the Community at a uniform interest rate.

| (3) | It may appear that in certain Member States the buying into public intervention of agricultural products can be financed only at interest rates which are substantially higher than the uniform interest rate. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

It may appear that in certain Member States the buying into public intervention of agricultural products can be financed only at interest rates which are substantially higher than the uniform interest rate.

| (4) | Where, in such cases, the average interest rate, in the course of the third month following the reference period used for the establishment of the uniform interest rate by the Commission, is more than twice the uniform interest rate for a given Member State, provision should be made for a correcting mechanism to be applied. This average interest rate should nevertheless be partially borne by the Member State concerned in order to encourage it to seek the least costly financing method. |

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The third subparagraph of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 is replaced by the following:

‘By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, if the average interest rate borne by a Member State in the course of the third month following the reference period used for the establishment of the uniform interest rate by the Commission is more than twice the uniform interest rate, the Commission may, for the financial years 2007 and 2008, in financing the interest costs incurred by that Member State, cover the amount which corresponds to the interest rate borne by this Member State minus the uniform rate of interest.’

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 735/2007

of 11 June 2007

amending Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 37(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas:

| (1) | The measures concerning the common organisation of the market in cereals, as adopted under Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 (2), comprise in the case of the internal market an intervention system, the main aim of which is to stabilise the markets and ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community in this sector. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

The measures concerning the common organisation of the market in cereals, as adopted under Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 (2), comprise in the case of the internal market an intervention system, the main aim of which is to stabilise the markets and ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community in this sector.

| (2) | The application of this system over the last two marketing years, 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 has had the effect of creating very substantial intervention stocks of maize which are proving particularly difficult to dispose of on the Community and international markets notably owing to their location. In addition, maize is a cereal which is not easy to preserve and which, by virtue of the gradual deterioration in its quality, becomes increasingly difficult to market the longer it is stored. |

The application of this system over the last two marketing years, 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 has had the effect of creating very substantial intervention stocks of maize which are proving particularly difficult to dispose of on the Community and international markets notably owing to their location. In addition, maize is a cereal which is not easy to preserve and which, by virtue of the gradual deterioration in its quality, becomes increasingly difficult to market the longer it is stored.

| (3) | In the course of 2006, it was established that the intervention system as applied during the periods in question had not enabled the objectives which it pursues to be achieved, particularly as regards the position of maize producers in certain regions of the Community. Indeed, this system has become in those regions an alternative to the direct disposal of products on the market, despite the fact that the price actually received by these producers for the harvested maize has often been lower than the intervention price. |

Indeed, this system has become in those regions an alternative to the direct disposal of products on the market, despite the fact that the price actually received by these producers for the harvested maize has often been lower than the intervention price.

| (4) | Under these circumstances, the safety net role which the intervention system was set up to fulfil has been distorted as far as maize is concerned, thus preventing production from being geared towards the needs of the market. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

Under these circumstances, the safety net role which the intervention system was set up to fulfil has been distorted as far as maize is concerned, thus preventing production from being geared towards the needs of the market.

| (5) | The maintenance of the intervention system as it stands entails the risk of increasing the intervention stocks of maize still further without bringing any benefits to the producers concerned. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

The maintenance of the intervention system as it stands entails the risk of increasing the intervention stocks of maize still further without bringing any benefits to the producers concerned.

| (6) | It is therefore necessary to adopt appropriate measures to guarantee the proper functioning of the Community market in cereals. To this end, a ceiling on the quantities of maize eligible for intervention fixed at a maximum overall quantity for the Community of 1 500 000 tonnes and 700 000 tonnes for the 2007/2008 marketing year and the 2008/2009 marketing year, respectively, and a reduction of this quantity to 0 tonnes from the 2009/2010 marketing year, would appear to be the most appropriate measure taking into account the facts set out above and the outlets available to producers on the domestic and international market. |

‘By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, the quantities of maize bought in by the intervention agencies shall be subject to the following maximum quantity limits:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 739/2007

of 28 June 2007

amending Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 laying down transitional measures within the framework of the reform of the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 44 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | According to Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the marketing year for products in the sugar sector is the period from 1 October to 30 September. However, the marketing year 2006/2007 begins on 1 July 2006 and ends on 30 September 2007. Consequently, unlike a normal marketing year, it extends over 15 months rather than 12 months. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

According to Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the marketing year for products in the sugar sector is the period from 1 October to 30 September. However, the marketing year 2006/2007 begins on 1 July 2006 and ends on 30 September 2007. Consequently, unlike a normal marketing year, it extends over 15 months rather than 12 months.

| (2) | In view of the length of the marketing year 2006/2007, Article 9(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 (2) provides for a transitional isoglucose quota so as to ensure an allocation which corresponds to that of the preceding marketing year. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In view of the length of the marketing year 2006/2007, Article 9(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 493/2006 (2) provides for a transitional isoglucose quota so as to ensure an allocation which corresponds to that of the preceding marketing year.

| (3) | A number of Member States allocate sugar quotas to undertakings specialising in the production of sugar by extraction from molasses. As in the case of isoglucose, this involves consistent levels of production throughout a given marketing year. However, in accordance with Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, the quantity allocated for the marketing year 2006/2007 is equal to the quantity allocated for the marketing year 2005/2006. In the interests of fairness to the isoglucose producers, these undertakings, too, should be allocated a transitional quota taking into account the length of the marketing year 2006/2007. |

of 28 June 2007

fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund. |

Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (g) of that Regulation and 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 (2), 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 II to Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999. |

(3)

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) | However, in the case of certain milk products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, there is a danger that, if high refund rates are fixed in advance, the commitments entered into in relation to those refunds may be jeopardised. In order to avert that danger, it is therefore necessary to take appropriate precautionary measures, but without precluding the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of specific refund rates for the advance fixing of refunds in respect of those products should enable those two objectives to be met. |

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. |

(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. |

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. |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 747/2007

of 28 June 2007

fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs

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. |

of 28 June 2007

fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty

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(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. |
| --- | --- |

(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. |

(3)

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. |

ANNEX I

Derogations for Member States on small quantities of certain dangerous goods

In Annex I to Decision 2005/263/EC, the following derogations are to be read as follows:

DENMARK

RO-SQ 2.1 (amended)

Subject: Road transport of packagings or articles containing wastes or residues of dangerous goods collected from households and certain enterprises for the purpose of disposal.

Reference to the Annex to the Directive: Part 2, 3, 4.1, 5.2, 5.4 and 8.2.

Content of the Annex to the Directive: Principles for classification, special provisions, packing provisions, marking and labelling provisions, transport document and training.

Reference to the national legislation: Bekendtgørelse nr. 437 af 6. juni 2005 om vejtransport af farligt gods, § 4 stk. 3.

Content of the national legislation: Inner packagings or articles containing waste or residues of dangerous goods collected from households or certain enterprises may be packed together in outer packagings. The contents of each inner packaging and/or each outer packaging must not exceed set mass or volume limits. Derogations from the provisions concerning classification, packaging, marking and labeling, documentation and training.

Comments: It is not possible to carry out an accurate classification and apply all ADR provisions when wastes or residual amounts of dangerous goods are collected from households and certain enterprises for the purpose of disposal. The waste is typically contained in packagings which have been sold in retail sale.

IRELAND

RO-SQ 7.4 (amended)

Subject: Exemption from some of the provisions of the ADR on the packaging, marking and labelling of small quantities (below the limits in 1.1.3.6) of time-expired pyrotechnic articles of classification codes 1.3G, 1.4G and 1.4S of Class 1 of the ADR, bearing the respective substance identification numbers UN 0092, UN 0093, UN 0191, UN 0195, UN 0197, UN 0240, UN 0312, UN 0403, UN 0404 or UN 0453 for carriage to the nearest military barracks for disposal.

Reference to the Annex to the Directive: 1.1.3.6, 4.1, 5.2 and 6.1.

Content of the Annex to the Directive: Disposal of out-of-date pyrotechnics.

Content of the national legislation: The provisions of the ADR on the packaging, marking and labelling of expired pyrotechnic articles bearing the UN numbers UN 0092, UN 0093, UN 0403 or UN 0404 for carriage to the nearest military barracks do not apply provided the general packaging provisions of the ADR are complied with and additional information is included in the transport document. This applies only to local transport, to the nearest military barracks, of small quantities of these time-expired pyrotechnics for safe disposal.

Reference to the national legislation: Regulation 82(10) of the Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road Regulations 2004.

Comments: The carriage of small quantities of time-expired marine emergency flares, especially from pleasure boat owners and ship chandlers, to military barracks for safe disposal has created difficulties, particularly in relation to packaging requirements. The derogation is for small quantities (below those specified in 1.1.3.6) for local transport.

THE UNITED KINGDOM

RO-SQ 15.4 (amended)

Subject: Exemption from the requirement for vehicles carrying low-level radioactive material to carry fire-fighting equipment (E4).

Content of the national legislation: Removes requirement to carry fire extinguishers when carrying only excepted packages (UN 2908, 2909, 2910 and 2911).

Restricts the requirement where only a small number of packages are carried.

Comments: Carriage of fire-fighting equipment is in practice irrelevant to the transport of UN 2908, 2909, 2910 and 2911, which are often carried in small vehicles.

RO-SQ 15.11 (amended)

Subject: Alternative to display of orange plates for small consignments of radioactive material in small vehicles.

‘UN 1965 Propane’ in the case of mixture C, as described in Subsection 2.2.2.3 of the RPE, transported in cylinders.

Comments: The importance of making it easier for economic operators to fill in transport documents for dangerous goods is recognised, provided that the safety of these operations is not affected.

RO-LT 12.2

Subject: Transport documentation for empty uncleaned tanks and containers.

Reference to the Annex to the Directive: 5.4.1.

Content of the Annex to the Directive: Requirements for transport documentation

Content of the national legislation: For the return journeys of empty tanks and containers that have transported dangerous goods, the transport document referred to in Section 5.4.1 of the RPE may be replaced by the transport document issued for the immediately preceding journey made to deliver the goods.

Comments: The obligation that the transport of empty tanks and containers that have contained dangerous goods be accompanied by a transport document in accordance with the RPE causes, in certain cases, practical difficulties, which can be kept to the minimum without prejudice to safety.

FINLAND

RO-LT 13.4

Subject: Adoption of RO-LT 14.10

Reference to the national legislation: To be specified in forthcoming legislation.

UNITED KINGDOM

RO-LT 15.3

Reference to the national legislation: The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment 2007 part 1.

Content of the national legislation: Permits the following alternative conditions for Special Provision 636 of Chapter 3.3:

Used lithium cells and batteries (UN 3090 and UN 3091) collected and presented for carriage for disposal between the consumer collecting point and the intermediate processing facility, together with other non-lithium cells or batteries (UN 2800 and UN 3028), are not subject to the other provisions of ADR if they meet the following conditions:

They shall be packed in IH2 drums or 4H2 boxes conforming to the packing group II performance level for solids;

Not more than 5 % of each package shall be lithium and lithium ion batteries;

The maximum gross mass of each package shall not exceed 25 kg;

The total quantity of packages per Transport Unit shall not exceed 333 kg;

No other dangerous goods may be carried.

Comments: Consumer collection points are usually in retail outlets and it is not practical to train large numbers of people to sort and package used batteries in accordance with ADR. The UK system would operate under guidelines set by the UK Waste and Resources Action Programme and would involve the supplying suitable ADR compliant packaging and appropriate instructions.
