Whereas:
(1)
Article 11(5) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1276/2008 (2) and Annex II to that Regulation correspond respectively, according to the correlation table in Annex IX to that Regulation, to Article 3(2) and to Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 3122/94 of 20 December 1994 laying down criteria for risk analysis as regards agricultural products receiving refunds (3). In particular, point (a) of Article 11(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1276/2008 corresponds to the first indent of Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 3122/94. However, where that first indent of Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 3122/94 refers to criteria set out in the complete second paragraph of Article 1 of that Regulation, Article 11(5)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1276/2008 refers to only the criteria set out in point 1 of Annex II thereto.

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.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 21 October 2009
concerning the extension of uses of algal oil from the micro-algae Ulkenia sp. as a novel food ingredient under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document C(2009) 7932)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2009/777/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
On 4 November 2004 the company Lonza Ltd (formerly Nutrinova) made a request to the competent authorities of Germany for an extension of the uses as novel food ingredient of the oil from the micro algae Ulkenia sp.
(2)
On 9 February 2005 the competent food assessment body of Germany issued its initial assessment report. In that report it came to the conclusion that the extension of uses of the oil from the micro-algae Ulkenia sp. might bear the risk that intakes of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) would increase in an unacceptable manner.
(3)
The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 21 April 2005.
(4)
Within the 60-day period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision.
(5)
In their objections Member States raised concerns about elevated intake levels of omega-3 fatty acids and in particular DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
(6)
However, the main source of omega-3 fatty acids is fish-oil. Today, in the foods of the categories for which the addition of oil from the micro-algae Ulkenia sp. was requested omega-3 fatty acids can be provided either from fish oil or alternatively from the micro algae Ulkenia sp.
(7)
Therefore it is not expected that the use of oil from micro-algae in the food groups mentioned in the Annex will lead to an unacceptable additional increase of the overall intake of omega-3 fatty acids.
(8)
The oil from the micro-algae Ulkenia sp. complies with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of the Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
(9)
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
Oil from the micro-algae Ulkenia sp. as specified in Annex I may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food ingredient for the uses and at the maximum levels as listed in Annex II.
Article 2
The designation ‘oil from the micro-algae Ulkenia sp.’ shall be displayed in the list of ingredients of the foodstuffs containing it.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to Lonza Ltd, Muenchensteinerstrasse 38, CH - 4002 Basel.

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 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
An invitation to tender for the refund for the export of common wheat to certain third countries was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 115/2005 (2).
(2)
In accordance with Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals (3), the Commission may, on the basis of the tenders notified, decide to fix a maximum export refund taking account of the criteria referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95. In that case a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than the maximum refund.
(3)
The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For tenders notified on 3 to 9 June 2005, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 115/2005, the maximum refund on exportation of common wheat shall be 8,00 EUR/t.
