COMMISSION DECISION
of 16 April 2010
repealing Decision 2006/236/EC on special conditions governing fishery products imported from Indonesia and intended for human consumption
(notified under document C(2010) 2354)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2010/219/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), and in particular Article 22(6) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (2), and in particular Article 53(1)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Decision 2006/236/EC of 21 March 2006 on special conditions governing fishery products imported from Indonesia and intended for human consumption (3) was adopted as the result of the European Commission inspection visits to Indonesia, which revealed serious shortcomings as regards hygiene in the handling of fishery products in that third country.
(2)
Decision 2006/236/EC was amended by Commission Decision 2008/660/EC (4) which lifted requirement to test fishery products originating from Indonesia for the presence of histamine and heavy metals in aquaculture products.
(3)
Decision 2006/236/EC provides that Member States are to ensure that each consignment of fishery products other than aquaculture origin imported from Indonesia undergoes the necessary tests to make sure that the products do not exceed certain maximum levels for heavy metals.
(4)
Decision 2006/236/EC also provides that that Decision is to be reviewed on the basis of the guarantees provided by the competent Indonesian authorities and on the basis of the results of the tests carried out by the Member States.
(5)
The results of the tests carried out by the Member States on fishery products imported from Indonesia are favourable as regards heavy metals. In addition, Indonesia has now provided the Commission with the appropriate guarantees. It is therefore no longer necessary to test each consignment of fishery products for heavy metals.
(6)
Decision 2006/236/EC should therefore be repealed accordingly.
(7)
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
Decision 2006/236/EC is hereby repealed.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 6 March 1996 concerning requests for exemption lodged by the Kingdom of the Netherlands pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of Council Directive 70/156/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (Only the Dutch text is authentic) (96/214/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 93/81/EEC (2),
Whereas on 23 November 1995 and 6 December 1995 the authorities of the Kingdom of the Netherlands lodged requests for approval, by the Commission, of an exemption pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of Directive 70/156/EEC; whereas these requests contain the information required by the abovementioned Article 8; whereas these requests concern the fitting of five kinds of vehicle with a third stop lamp, as provided for in category ECE S3 by ECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Regulation No 7 and fitted in accordance with ECE Regulation No 48;
Whereas the reasons stated, whereby the fitting of the stop lamps and the stop lamps themselves do not meet the requirements of Council Directive 76/758/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to end-outline marker lamps, front position (side) lamps, rear position (side) lamps and stop lamps for motor vehicles and their trailers (3), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/516/EEC (4), and of Council Directive 76/756/EEC of 27 July 1976 relating to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on motor vehicles and their trailers (5), as last amended by Commission Directive 91/663/EEC (6), are justified; whereas the descriptions of the tests, the results thereof and their compliance with ECE Regulations Nos 7 and 48 ensure a satisfactory level of safety;
Whereas the Directives concerned will be amended in order to authorize the production and fitting of such stop lamps; whereas, this being the case, it is therefore justified to authorize EEC type approval for the five kinds of vehicle fitted with the stop lamps covered by these requests;
Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the adaptation to technical progress of the Directives for the removal of technical barriers to trade in the motor vehicles sector, as set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3241/92 of 6 November 1992 releasing securities lodged in respect of import licences under Regulation (EEC) No 564/92 for pigmeat products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 519/92 of 27 February 1992 on certain procedures for applying the Interim Agreement on trade and trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Republic of Hungary, of the other part (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 564/92 of 5 March 1992 (2) lays down detailed rules for the application to pigmeat products of the arrangements provided for in the Interim Agreement concluded by the Community with the Republic of Hungary;
Whereas Community operators submitted their import licence applications for the period 1 July to 30 September 1992 during the first ten days of July 1992; whereas at that time supplies to the market for pigmeat in Hungary were very regular and sufficient; whereas the operators were therefore convinced that the situation would remain unchanged in subsequent months, so enabling them to meet their obligations under import licences issued on 23 July 1992;
Whereas a shortage of pigmeat arose in Hungary during the period referred to above, as a result in particular of a severe drought, which considerably reduced the quantities of products available for use in pigfeed; whereas in addition, the imbalance between production and demand was aggravated by the fact that Hungary has recently been compelled to adopt veterinary and animal health measures with respect to certain neighbouring countries, involving a ban on imports from those countries; whereas, as a result of these unforeseeable events, Community operators are unable to obtain supplies on the Hungarian market to make up all the quantities mentioned in import licences;
Whereas provision should accordingly be made for the release of the securities lodged pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 564/92 in respect of unused import licences;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Securities lodged in respect of import licences issued on 23 July 1992 for products covered by groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 564/92 but not imported before the expiry of the term of validity of those licences shall be released.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
