THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community (1), and in particular Article 27(4) thereof,
Having regard to the Agency’s recommendation No ERA/REC/XA/01-2009 of 17 April 2009,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 9b(2) of Regulation (EC) No 881/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) requires the European Railway Agency (hereinafter ‘the Agency’) to review, by 19 January 2009, the list of parameters in Section 1 of Annex VII to Directive 2008/57/EC and to make the recommendations it considers appropriate to the Commission.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1527/2000(2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(3),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 of 30 June 1993 establishing special detailed rules for applying the agricultural conversion rate in the sugar sector(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1642/1999(5), and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 provides that the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 is to be converted into national currency using a specific agricultural conversion rate equal to the average, calculated pro rata temporis, of the agricultural conversion rates applicable during the month of storage. That specific rate must be fixed each month for the previous month. However, in the case of the reimbursable amounts applying from 1 January 1999, as a result of the introduction of the agrimonetary arrangements for the euro from that date, the fixing of the conversion rate should be limited to the specific exchange rates prevailing between the euro and the national currencies of the Member States that have not adopted the single currency.
(2) Application of these provisions will lead to the fixing, for May 2001, of the specific exchange rate for the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs in the various national currencies as indicated in the Annex to this Regulation,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The specific exchange rate to be used for converting the amount of the reimbursement of the storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 into national currency for May 2001 shall be as indicated in the Annex hereto.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 9 August 2005
establishing the classes of reaction-to-fire performance for certain construction products
(notified under document number C(2005) 2925)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/610/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), and in particular Article 20(2) a thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 89/106/EEC envisages that in order to take account of different levels of protection for the construction works at national, regional or local levels, it may be necessary to establish in the interpretative documents classes corresponding to the performance of products in respect of each essential requirement. Those documents have been published as the ‘Communication of the Commission with regard to the interpretative documents of Directive 89/106/EEC (2)’.
(2)
With respect of the essential requirement of safety in the event of fire, interpretative document No 2 lists a number of interrelated measures which together define the fire safety strategy to be developed in different ways in the Member States.
(3)
Interpretative document No 2 identifies one of those measures as the limitation of the generation and spread of fire and smoke within a given area by limiting the potential of construction products to contribute to the full development of a fire.
(4)
The level of that limitation may be expressed only in terms of the different levels of reaction-to-fire performance of the products in their end-use application.
(5)
By way of harmonised solution, a system of classes was adopted in Commission Decision 2000/147/EC of 8 February 2000 implementing Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regard the classification of the reaction-to-fire performance of construction products (3).
(6)
In the case of certain construction products it is necessary to use the classification established in Decision 2000/147/EC.
(7)
The reaction-to-fire performance of many construction products and/or materials, within the classification provided for in Decision 2000/147/EC, is well established and sufficiently well known to fire regulators in Member States with the consequence that they do not require testing for this particular performance characteristic.
(8)
Products have been considered in relation to their end-use application, where relevant.
(9)
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 construction products and/or materials which satisfy all the requirements of the performance characteristic ‘reaction to fire’ without need for further testing are set out in the Annex.
Article 2
The specific classes to be applied to different construction products and/or materials, within the reaction-to-fire classification adopted in Decision 2000/147/EC, are set out in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 7 June 1990
on the alignment of Portuguese prices for butter and beef and veal on the common prices
(90/264/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 234 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 265 (1) (b) of the abovementioned Act provides for the determination of the rules according to which the Portuguese Republic must align the Portuguese prices which are lower than the common prices to bring them closer to the common prices at the beginning of the 1990/91 marketing year; whereas, in accordance with the abovementioned provision, that alignment relates to the level of Portuguese prices expressed in ecus on 31 December 1989;
Whereas, at that date, Portuguese prices for butter were approximately 10 % lower than the common prices on the mainland and 11 % lower in the Azores; whereas Portuguese prices for beef and veal were approximately 8 % lower than the common prices;
Whereas, in the butter sector, the situation in Portugal allows only at the moment for an initial alignment, to be supplemented at the beginning of the second stage by a later adjustment likely to avoid the disadvantages resulting from the existence in that country of a price for butter which is lower than, and a price for milk powder which is higher than, the common prices;
Whereas, in the beef and veal sector, the relatively high level of market prices should facilitate the making of a considerable alignment;
Whereas, this being so, provision should be made for the Portuguese prices for the abovementioned products, for the 1990/91 marketing year, to be not lower than the levels provided for in this Decision,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
At the beginning of the 1990/91 marketing year, the Portuguese Republic shall fix:
- the intervention price for butter at a level equal at least to ECU 265,83 per 100 kg,
- the intervention price for the meat of male bovine animals of R 3 quality at a level equal to at least 332,71 per 100 kg.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.
