COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1573/93 of 14 June 1993 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duty on certain industrial products (in the chemical and allied sectors)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas production of the products referred to in this Regulation is at present inadequate or non-existent within the Community and producers are thus unable to meet the needs of user industries in the Community;
Whereas it is in the Community's interest in certain cases to suspend the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties only partially, particularly because of the existence of Community production, and in other cases to suspend them completely;
Whereas the decision for the suspension of these autonomous duties should be taken by the Community;
Whereas, taking account of the difficulties involved in accurately assessing the development of the economic situation in the sector concerned in the near future, these suspension measures should be taken only temporarily, by fixing their period of validity by reference to the interests of Community production,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for the products listed in the tables appearing in the Annexes shall be suspended at the level indicated in respect of each of them.
These suspensions shall apply:
- from 1 July to 31 December 1993 for the products listed in the table appearing in Table I,
- from 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994 for the products listed in the table appearing in Table II.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1045/2009
of 4 November 2009
amending Regulation (EC) No 958/2009 fixing an acceptance percentage for the issuing of export licences, rejecting export licence applications and suspending the lodging of export licence applications for out-of-quota sugar
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2), and in particular Article 7e in conjunction with Article 9(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
According to Article 61, first subparagraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the sugar produced during a marketing year in excess of the quota referred to in Article 56 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 274/2009 of 2 April 2009 fixing the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2009/2010 marketing year (3) has fixed the quantitative limit at 650 000 tonnes.
(3)
The quantities of sugar covered by applications for export licences exceeded that quantitative limit. Therefore Commission Regulation (EC) No 958/2009 (4) suspended the lodging of applications for out-of-quota sugar export licences for the period 19 October 2009 to 30 September 2010.
(4)
By amendment of Regulation (EC) No 274/2009, introduced by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1044/2009 (5), the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar in respect of marketing year 2009/2010 was increased by 700 000 tonnes.
(5)
As the quantitative limit in respect of marketing year 2009/2010 is increased the lodging of applications should once again be possible.
(6)
Regulation (EC) No 958/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 958/2009, paragraph 3 is deleted.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 14 June 2004
amending Decision 98/20/EC authorising the Kingdom of the Netherlands to apply a measure derogating from Article 21 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes
(2004/516/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
Pursuant to Article 27(1) of the Sixth VAT Directive, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorise any Member State to introduce or extend special measures for derogation from that Directive in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance.
(2)
By letter registered with the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 26 November 2003, the Dutch Government requested the extension of Decision 98/20/EC (2) authorising it to apply special tax measures to the ready-to-wear clothing industry.
(3)
The other Member States were informed of the Netherlands’ request on 14 January 2004.
(4)
Decision 98/20/EC, authorised the Kingdom of the Netherlands to introduce in the ready-to-wear clothing industry a scheme for shifting the subcontractor’s obligation to pay over VAT to the tax authorities from the subcontractor to the clothing firm (the contractor).
(5)
These arrangements constitute an effective fraud-prevention measure in a sector in which collecting VAT is rendered awkward by the difficulty of identifying and supervising the activities of subcontractors.
(6)
On 7 June 2000 the Commission published a strategy to improve the operation of the VAT system in the short term, in which it undertook to rationalise the large number of derogations currently in force. In some cases however, this rationalisation could involve extending certain particularly effective derogations to all Member States. The Commission’s communication of 20 October 2003 reiterates this compromise.
(7)
The requested measure is to be considered first and foremost as a measure to prevent certain types of tax evasion in the ready-to-wear clothing industry.
(8)
The Kingdom of the Netherlands should be granted an extension for the current derogation until 31 December 2006 .
(9)
The derogation has no adverse impact on the European Communities’ own resources accruing from VAT nor does it affect the amount of VAT charged at the final stage of consumption.
(10)
In order to ensure legal continuity, this Decision should apply as from 1 January 2004,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 98/20/EC is hereby amended as follows:
-
in Article 1 the date ‘31 December 2003’ shall be replaced by ‘31 December 2006’.
Article 2
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2004.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
