COUNCIL DECISION
of 15 September 2014
on the position to be adopted on behalf of the European Union within the Council of Members of the International Olive Council concerning the prolongation of the 2005 International Agreement on olive oil and table olives
(2014/664/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
The International Agreement on olive oil and table olives, 2005 (1) (the ‘Agreement’) will expire on 31 December 2014 unless the Council of Members of the International Olive Council (IOC) decides to prolong it in accordance with Article 47(1) and (2) of the Agreement.
(2)
On 19 November 2013, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations on behalf of the Union for the conclusion of a new international agreement on olive oil and table olives.
(3)
A new agreement is currently being discussed within the IOC. It is now certain that the deadline of 31 December 2014 for the conclusion of an agreement cannot be met. It is therefore in the Union's interest to ensure that the existing Agreement is prolonged.
(4)
Prolongation of the existing Agreement is separate from the negotiations concerning the conclusion of a new agreement. The Union should therefore request a one-year prolongation of the existing Agreement, and vote in favour of such prolongation if this were proposed to the Council of Members,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The position to be adopted on the Union's behalf, within the Council of Members of the International Olive Council, is to request a one-year prolongation of the existing Agreement on olive oil and table olives, and to vote in favour of the one-year prolongation of the 2005 International Agreement on olive oil and table olives if this were proposed to the Council of Members.
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.
(2)
The EGF shall not exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices), as laid down in Article 12 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (3).
(3)
Poland submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in the enterprise Zachem and two suppliers and downstream producers, on 9 October 2013 and supplemented it by additional information up to 16 June 2014. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission therefore proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 115 205.
(4)
The EGF should therefore be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the application submitted by Poland,
