COMMISSION DIRECTIVE
of 15 December 1988
amending Council Directive 66/402/EEC on the marketing of cereal seed
(89/2/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 88/506/EEC (2), and in particular Article 2 (1b) thereof,
Whereas Council Directive 88/380/EEC (3) makes provision for including hybrids of rye within the scope of Directive 66/402/EEC and empowers the Commission to adopt the necessary amendments to the definitions in Article 2 (1) of that Directive; whereas Directive 88/380/EEC also empowers the Commission to make amendments to the Annexes to Directive 66/402/EEC in order to establish the conditions to be satisfied by the crop and the seed of hybrids of rye;
Whereas, owing to the increased importance in the Community of hybrid varieties of rye, the amendments to the definitions should be adopted now;
Whereas the amendments to the Annexes depend upon the results of a temporary experiment organized pursuant to Article 13a of Directive 66/402/EEC and cannot yet be made;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Directive 66/402/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 2 (1) (Ca), in the introductory words, 'rye', is inserted after 'rice,';
2. In Article 2 (1) (E), in the introductory words, 'canary grass and rye, other than hybrids in each case, sorghum,' is replaced by 'canary grass, other than hybrids, rye, sorghum,'.
Article 2
Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 July 1990.
They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
Article 3

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 3256/94 of 22 December 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1657/93 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial products intended to equip the free zones of the Azores and Madeira
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1657/93 (2) introduces a temporary suspension of the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on certain industrial products intended to equip the free zones of the Azores and Madeira;
Whereas the Portuguese authorities have asked for the suspension of Common Customs Tariff duties on capital goods other than those covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1657/93; whereas the grounds for this request are the increase in the number of firms operating in the free zone of Madeira and the diversification of local economic activities;
Whereas Council Decision 91/315/EEC of 26 June 1991 setting up a programme of options specific to the remote and insular nature of Madeira and the Azores (Poseima) (3) acknowledges the role of the free zones in the economic development of the areas in question and highlights the advisability of adopting specific customs measures to help boost these free zones;
Whereas it transpires from the information provided by the Portuguese authorities that, since the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 1657/93, new economic activities are starting up in the free zone of Madeira; whereas capital goods are needed to maintain these activities; whereas it therefore seems justified to suspend Common Customs Tariff duties on these products when they are imported into Madeira and the Azores for the free zones of these regions; whereas the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1657/93 should be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1657/93 shall be replaced by the text of the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 13 November 2009
amending Decision 2004/4/EC authorising Member States temporarily to take emergency measures against the dissemination of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith as regards Egypt
(notified under document C(2009) 8702)
(2009/839/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Under Commission Decision 2004/4/EC (2), tubers of Solanum tuberosum L., originating in Egypt, must not in principle be introduced into the Community. However, in previous years including the 2008/2009 import season, the entry into the Community of such tubers was permitted from ‘pest-free areas’ and subject to specific conditions.
(2)
During the 2008/2009 import season, six interceptions of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith were recorded resulting in a prohibition on all exports of Egyptian potatoes to the Community as of 26 August 2009.
(3)
Egypt has submitted a report on the causes of these interceptions. The main conclusion is that the majority of interceptions are due to failures to comply with the phytosanitary instructions regarding the production and export of potatoes destined for the Community. Potato production zones involved in the non-compliances are no longer eligible for export to the European Union. Egypt has imposed penalties for the infringement of its instructions and suspended the relevant companies for the next three exporting seasons.
(4)
As requested by Egypt and in the light of the information provided by it, the Commission has established that the risk of spreading Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith with the entry into the Community of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. from ‘pest-free areas’ of Egypt has been sufficiently mitigated, provided that certain conditions are satisfied.
(5)
The entry into the Community of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L., originating in ‘pest-free areas’ of Egypt, should therefore be permitted for the 2009/2010 import season.
(6)
Decision 2004/4/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 2004/4/EC is amended as follows:
1.
in Article 2, paragraph 1, ‘2008/2009’ is replaced by ‘2009/2010’;
2.
in Article 4, ‘31 August 2009’ is replaced by ‘31 August 2010’;
3.
in Article 7, ‘30 September 2009’ is replaced by ‘30 September 2010’;
4.
the Annex is amended as follows:
(a)
in point 1(b)(iii), ‘2008/2009’ is replaced by ‘2009/2010’;
(b)
in the second indent of point 1(b)(iii), ‘1 January 2009’ is replaced by ‘1 January 2010’;
(c)
in point 1(b)(xii), ‘1 January 2009’ is replaced by ‘1 January 2010’.

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 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
An invitation to tender for the maximum reduction in the duty on maize imported into Spain from third countries was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2277/2004 (2).
(2)
Pursuant to Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 (3) the Commission, acting under the procedure laid down in Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003, may decide to fix maximum reduction in the import duty. In fixing this maximum the criteria provided for in Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 must be taken into account. A contract is awarded to any tenderer whose tender is equal to or less than the maximum reduction in the duty.
(3)
The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum reduction in the import duty being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(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 from 11 to 17 March 2005, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 2277/2004, the maximum reduction in the duty on maize imported shall be 21,89 EUR/t and be valid for a total maximum quantity of 6 000 t.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 8 May 2006
amending Decision 2001/171/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council for the purpose of prolonging the validity of the conditions for a derogation for glass packaging in relation to the heavy metal concentration levels established in Directive 94/62/EC

(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/340/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 94/62/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste (1), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The derogation laid down in Commission Decision 2001/171/EC (2) for glass packaging in relation to the heavy metal concentration levels established in Directive 94/62/EC expires on 30 June 2006.
(2)
The compliance throughout the Community with the 100 ppm limit value established in Article 11(1) of Directive 94/62/EC could only be achieved through a reduction of the glass recycling rate; however, such a reduction is not desirable from an environmental point of view.
(3)
The validity of Decision 2001/171/EC should therefore be prolonged without any further expiry date.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established pursuant to Article 21 of Directive 94/62/EC,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Article 6 of Decision 2001/171/EC is deleted.

Whereas, pursuant to the said general rules, the goods described in column 1 of the table annexed to the present Regulation must be classified under the appropriate CN codes indicated in column 2, by virtue of the reasons set out in column 3;
