COMMISSION DECISION of 24 June 1996 on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20 (2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards fixed fire-fighting systems (Text with EEA relevance) (96/577/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13 (4) thereof,
Whereas the Commission is required to select, as between the two procedures pursuant to Article 13 (3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the 'least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety`; whereas this means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacture is a necessary and sufficient condition for attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13 (4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required;
Whereas Article 13 (4) requires that the procedure thus determined must be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications; whereas, therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications;
Whereas the two procedures provided for in Article 13 (3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC; whereas it is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures must be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems;
Whereas the procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13 (3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III, and the procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13 (3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of Section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
Article 2
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex II shall be indicated in mandates for harmonized standards.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

amending Regulation (EC) No 712/2007 as regards the quantities covered by the standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of cereals held by the intervention agencies of the Member States
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 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 712/2007 (2) opened standing invitations to tender for the resale on the Community market of cereals held by the intervention agencies of the Member States. Annex I to this Regulation provides for 27 502 tonnes of common wheat held by the Hungarian intervention agency.

These quantities include, as stated in point 9 of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1539/2006 and in the form of authorised intra-Community transfers, 96 712 tonnes of common wheat held by the Hungarian intervention agencies destined for Romania. Under the second subparagraph of Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 of 29 October 1992 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community (4), any quantities that have not been withdrawn from intervention stocks by 30 September in the year of plan implementation are no longer to be allocated to the Member State to which they were assigned. On 5 September 2007 the Romanian authorities informed the Commission that it would be impossible to comply with that deadline. As a result, and in view of the situation on the market in common wheat, that quantity of 96 712 tonnes of common wheat should be recovered and added to the quantity made available for sale under the invitation to tender opened by Regulation (EC) No 712/2007.
(3)
Regulation (EC) No 712/2007 should be amended accordingly.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 116/2004 suspending the buying-in of butter in certain Member States(5) establishes the most recent list of Member States in which intervention is suspended.

In the interests of clarity, the list in question should be replaced and Regulation (EC) No 116/2004 should be repealed,
