Commission Regulation (EC) No 1183/2003
of 2 July 2003
amending Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 33 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under the distillation of wine to produce potable alcohol, opened in the Community each year, producers are required to deliver their wine for distillation and distillers must distil the wine before a specified date.
(2) The public storage facilities in some Member States are full and consequently the public authorities can no longer accept deliveries of alcohol from the distillers, with the result that the storage facilities of certain distillers are also full. The lack of storage capacity prevents them from accepting delivery of new wine for distillation into potable alcohol before the date laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 625/2003(4).
(3) To rectify this situation, the date by which wine must be delivered for distillation and the date by which wine must be distilled should be postponed for one-and-a-half months.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 should be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Article 63a of Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 is hereby amended as follows:
(a) the following second subparagraph is added to paragraph 8:"For the 2002/03 wine year the date in the first subparagraph shall be 31 August of the following wine year.";
(b) the following second subparagraph is added to paragraph 10:"For the 2002/03 wine year the date in the first subparagraph shall be 15 November of the following wine year."

COUNCIL DECISION of 9 February 1993 on the conclusion of the Protocol maintaining in force the Arrangement regarding international trade in textiles (MFA)
(93/97/EEC)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Commission took part, on behalf of the Community, in the negotiations on the maintenance in force of the Arrangement regarding international trade in textiles (MFA) (1);
Whereas these negotiations led to the establishment of a Protocol maintaining in force the MFA for a further period of 12 months until 31 December 1993;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 33/2010
of 12 January 2010
amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
For the classification of footwear with uppers consisting of two or more materials, in application of Note 4 (a) together with Additional note 1 to Chapter 64 of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, the second sentence of Additional note 1 to Chapter 64 should be clarified by stating how to verify whether given materials have the characteristics of an upper.
(2)
In its judgment in case C-165/07, Skatteministeriet v Ecco Sko A/S (2), the Court of Justice of the European Union has introduced a ‘walking test’ for the purpose of that verification. The test requires verification whether the materials of the upper provide sufficient support for the foot to enable the wearer to walk in the footwear.
(3)
It is therefore appropriate to specify in Additional note 1 to Chapter 64 that for materials to have the characteristics of an upper, they must support the foot sufficiently to enable the wearer to walk in the footwear.
(4)
In its judgment the Court does not specify whether the ‘walking test’ is to be carried out with or without the fastening straps. The Court leaves it to the national referring court to make the necessary findings. The fact that it depends on the way in which the leather is removed, whether the fastening straps stay in place or not, may lead to divergent interpretations of the judgment.
(5)
In order to obtain uniform interpretation as far as the fastening systems are concerned, it is necessary to specify in Additional note 1 to Chapter 64 that fastening systems have to stay in place during the test. Otherwise, in the case of footwear that requires a fastening system, for example laces, to function, the walking test would fail with any material, because the wearer could never walk with it lacking its fastening system.
(6)
Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Additional note 1 to Chapter 64 of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, the second sentence of the first paragraph is replaced by the following:
‘After the removal of reinforcements, the visible material must have the characteristics of an upper and not lining, supporting the foot sufficiently to enable the wearer, with the original fastening systems in place, to walk in the footwear.’
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th 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.
