of 6 November 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 109/2007 as regards the terms of the authorisation of the feed additive monensin sodium (Coxidin)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The additive monensin sodium (Coxidin) was authorised under certain conditions in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Commission Regulation (EC) No 109/2007 (2) authorised that additive for ten years for use for chickens for fattening and turkey, linking the authorisation to the holder of authorisation for putting that additive into circulation.
(2)
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the possibility of modifying the authorisation of an additive further to a request from the holder of the authorisation and an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’).
(3)
The holder of the authorisation of the feed additive monensin sodium (Coxidin) has submitted an application with which it proposes changing the terms of the authorisation by reducing the withdrawal period before slaughter and by establishing the final Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs).
(4)
In its opinion adopted on 18 June 2008 (3), the Authority concluded, after re-assessing human exposure, that a one-day withdrawal time for Coxidin for chickens for fattening and turkeys could be set. No new data was provided by the holder of the authorisation which would allow the Authority to propose a final MRL.
(5)
Regulation (EC) No 109/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

COMMISSION DECISION
of 30 October 2008
amending the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC establishing the BSE status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof according to their BSE risk
(notified under document number C(2008) 6274)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/829/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 5(2) and Article 5(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. It applies to the production and placing on the market of live animals and products of animal origin. For that purpose, the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof (‘countries or regions’) is to be determined by classification into one of three categories depending on the BSE risk involved, namely a negligible BSE risk, a controlled BSE risk and an undetermined BSE risk.
(2)
The Annex to Commission Decision 2007/453/EC of 29 June 2007 establishing the BSE status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof according to their BSE risk (2) lists countries or regions according to their BSE risk status.
(3)
Pending the final conclusion on the BSE risk status of the Member States, all Member States were provisionally recognised as countries with a controlled BSE risk as laid down in Decision 2007/453/EC. During the OIE General Session in May 2008, a Resolution was adopted relating to the BSE status of different countries. The Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be brought in line with the recommendations of the Resolution of the OIE. Pending a final conclusion on the BSE risk status of certain Member States and taking into account the harmonised stringent BSE protective measures applied within the Community, those Member States should remain provisionally recognised as countries with a controlled BSE risk.
(4)
Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on 1 December 2008.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1543/94 of 30 June 1994 altering, for the 1994/95 marketing year, the adjustment aid and additional aid to the sugar refining industry
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 133/94 (2), and in particular the seventh indent of Article 9 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (4b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that during the 1994/95 marketing year adjustment aid of ECU 0,08 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar is to be granted as an intervention measure to the Community's preferential raw cane sugar refining industry; whereas, as provided for in those provisions, additional aid equal to that amount is to be granted during the same period for the refining of raw cane sugar produced in the French overseas departments and for the refining of quantities of raw beet sugar harvested in the Community and qualifying for the refining aid pursuant to the second subpararaph of Article 9 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 and in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/90 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 736/91 (4);
Whereas the fourth subparagraph of Article 9 (4b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the adjustment aid and the additional aid referred to above may be altered in respect of a given marketing year in the light in particular of the storage levy fixed for that year; whereas the storage levy for the 1994/95 marketing year was fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/94 (5) at ECU 3,00 per 100 kilograms of white sugar; whereas that amount represents a reduction of ECU 0,50 per 100 kilograms of white sugar in that applicable for the 1993/94 marketing year;
Whereas those aids must therefore be altered; whereas account should in addition be taken of the alteration in the aid in question that has already been made for the previous marketing years in order to neutralize the effect of successive storage levy modifications on the refining margin for the 1994/95 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The amounts of the adjustment aid and of the additional aid provided for respectively in the second and third subparagraphs of Article 9 (4b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be increased to ECU 1,08 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar for the 1994/95 marketing year.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 July 1994.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 30 June 1994.
