Commission Regulation (EC) No 1943/2001
of 2 October 2001
fixing, for September 2001, the specific exchange rate for the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs in the sugar sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(1),
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(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1642/1999(3), and in particular Article 1(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1878/2001 of 26 September 2001 laying down transitional measures in connection with the compensation system for storage costs for sugar(4), lays down that Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 of 13 September 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(5), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1527/2000(6), will continue to apply to sugars carried forward from the 2000/01 marketing year to the 2001/02 marketing year.

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.
(3) Application of these provisions will lead to the fixing, for September 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 September 2001 shall be as indicated in the Annex hereto.

COMMISSION DECISION

amending Decision 97/467/EC as regards the inclusion of one establishment in Iceland for farmed game meat and one establishment in Botswana for ratite meat in provisional lists of third country establishments from which Member States are authorised to import such products
(notified under document number C(2004) 2681)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2004/591/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 95/408/EC of 22 June 1995 on the conditions for drawing up, for an interim period, provisional lists of third country establishments from which Member States are authorised to import certain products of animal origin, fishery products or live bivalve molluscs (1), and in particular Article 2(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Decision 97/467/EC of 7 July 1997 drawing up provisional lists of third country establishments from which the Member States authorise imports of rabbit meat and farmed game meat (2) sets out provisional lists of establishments in third countries from which the Member States are authorised to import farmed game meat, rabbit meat and ratite meat.
(2)
Iceland has provided the name of one establishment producing farmed game meat for which the responsible authorities certify that the establishment complies with the Community rules.
(3)
Botswana has provided the name of one establishment producing ratite meat for which the responsible authorities certify that the establishment complies with Community rules.
(4)
Accordingly, those establishments should be included in the lists set out in Decision 97/467/EC.
(5)
As on-the-spot inspections of the concerned establishments have not yet been carried out, imports from them should not be eligible for reduced physical checks pursuant 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 (3).
(6)
Decision 97/467/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 the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Annex I to Decision 97/467/EC is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Decision.
Article 2
Annex II to Decision 97/467/EC is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Decision.
Article 3
This Decision shall apply from 17 August 2004.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 April 2006
relating to a proceeding pursuant to Article 81 of the EC Treaty
(Case COMP/B-1/38.348 - Repsol CPP)
(notified under document number C(2006) 1548)
(Only the Spanish text is authentic)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/446/EC)
On 12 April 2006 the Commission adopted a decision pursuant to Article 9(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 (1). A non-confidential version of the integral text of the decision in the authentic language as well as the working languages of the Commission is available on the Competition Directorate-General website at the following address: http://europa.eu.int/comm/competition/antitrust/cases/index/by_nr_76.html#i38_348
(1)
This decision is addressed to Repsol Comercial de Productos Petroliferos, incorporated in Madrid, Spain (hereafter Repsol CPP), a company belonging to the Repsol-YPF oil group. The subject matter of the procedure is the supply of fuel to service stations in Spain and the conclusion, by Repsol CPP, of long-term exclusive supply agreements with service stations. In its preliminary assessment, the Commission considered that the non-compete clauses in the agreements notified by Repsol CPP, and in particular in the agreements of the DODO (2), tenancy and usufruct type, raised concerns under Article 81 of the EC Treaty insofar as they might create a significant foreclosure effect on the fuel retail market in Spain.
(2)
The Commission considers that the commitments offered by Repsol CPP are sufficient to address the identified competition concerns. In particular, Repsol CPP undertakes to offer to service stations concerned a concrete financial incentive to terminate the existing long-term supply agreements and to refrain from concluding further long-term exclusivity agreements. Further, Repsol CPP undertakes to refrain from buying independent DODO stations that it is not supplying. Accordingly, wholesale supply to a large number of service stations will be opened to competition.
(3)
The decision finds, in view of the commitments made binding on Repsol CPP, that there are no longer grounds for action by the Commission.
(4)
The Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions issued a favourable opinion on 27 March 2006.
