COMMISSION DIRECTIVE
of 6 February 1987
amending Annex II to Council Directive 72/276/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to certain methods for the quantitative analysis of binary textile fibre mixtures
(87/184/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 71/307/EEC of 26 July 1971 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to textile names (1), as last amended by Directive 83/623/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15a (2) thereof,
Whereas Directive 71/307/EEC requires labelling to indicate the nature of the fibres in textile products, checks on the conformity of these products with the indications given on the label being carried out by analysis;
Whereas pursuant to Article 13 (2) of the above Directive, Annex II to Council Directive 72/276/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 81/75/EEC (4), lays down 15 uniform methods of analysis for most of the textile products composed of binary mixtures that are on the market;
Whereas in the light of experience gained gradually by national laboratories and the results of interlaboratory tests carried out under the auspices of the Commission, it is necessary:
- to redraft method No 2 by the incorporation of the use of a stable and easily prepared additional reagent,
- to amend certain points in method No 8 so as to simplify the test procedures and ensure uniform results,
- to delete method No 12, which has proved to be insufficiently accurate;
Whereas textile products consisting of mixtures of chlorofibre, certain modacrylics, certains elastanes, acetate, triacetate and certain other fibres which are also subject to the labelling obligation stipulated in Directive 71/307/EEC are not covered by Directive 72/276/EEC; whereas uniform methods of analysis applicable to these products should therefore be established;
Whereas the provisions of this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Directives relating to Textile Names and Labelling,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Section 2 of Annex II to Directive 72/276/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Special methods Nos 2, 8 and 12 are amended in accordance with Annex I to this Directive.
2. Special method No 16 in Annex II to this Directive is hereby added.
Article 2
1. Member States shall bring into force the provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 September 1988, and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. As soon as this Directive has been notified, Member States shall also ensure that the Commission is informed, in sufficient time for it to submit its comments, of any draft laws, regulations or administrative provisions which they intend to adopt in the field covered by the Directive.
Article 3
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 4003/89
of 21 December 1989
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3955/87 on the conditions governing imports of agricultural products originating in third countries following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power-station
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3955/87 (1) fixed, for agricultural products originating in third countries and intended for human consumption, maximum permitted levels of radioactivity with which imports of the products concerned must comply and in connection with which checks are carried out by the Member States; whereas the said Regulation is to apply only until 30 December 1989;
Whereas the reasons prevailing when the said Regulation was adopted are still valid, particularly because radioactive contamination in certain agricultural products originating in the third countries worst affected by the accident still exceeds the maximum permitted levels of radioactivity laid down in the abovementioned Regulation;
Whereas the Commission consulted the group of experts referred to in Article 31 of the Euratom Treaty, which favoured extending the period of validity of the said Regulation;
Whereas it is advisable to extend Regulation (EEC) No 3955/87 currently in force for a period of three months in order to avoid trade disturbances which might still exist in the absence of common provisions,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3955/87 shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 7
This Regulation shall expire on 31 March 1990.'
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 December 1989.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

on the implementation of the reform of agricultural structures in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg pursuant to Title II of Council Directive 75/268/EEC
(Only the French text is authentic)
(84/400/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/159/EEC of 17 April 1972 on the modernization of farms (1), as last amended by Directive 84/140/EEC (2), and in particular Article 18 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (3), as last amended by Directive 82/167/EEC (4), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas in 1977 the Luxembourg Government communicated the Ministerial Decree of 20 April 1977 amending, for the second time, the Ministerial Decree of 30 January 1976 granting a compensatory allowance to farmers in respect of 1976;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 13 of Directive 75/268/EEC in conjunction with Article 18 (3) of Directive 72/159/EEC, the Commission has to decide whether, having regard to the said Ministerial Decree of 20 April 1977, the provisions applied in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in respect of 1976 for the purpose of implementing Title II of Directive 75/268/EEC have continued to satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community to common measures referred to in Article 13 of Directive 75/268/EEC and Article 15 of Directive 72/159/EEC; whereas for 1976, positive decisions, namely Decision 76/698/EEC (5) and 76/948/EEC (6), have thus far been adopted only in respect of the Ministerial Decree of 30 January 1976 and the Ministerial Decree of 20 July 1976 amending it for the first time;
Whereas the revised compensatory allowance laid down in the said Ministerial Decree of 20 April 1977 is consistent with the objectives and requirement of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas the limits for 1976, as laid down in Article 7 of the version of the Directive which was applicable at the time, may in certain cases have been exceeded as a result of the application of the Ministerial Decree of 20 April 1977; whereas this Decision cannot cover any such cases;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;
Whereas the finding set out in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The provisions for the implementation of Title II of Directive 75/268/EEC which were applied by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in respect of 1976 have, in the light of the Ministerial Decree of 20 April 1977, continued to satisfy the conditions for financial contribution by the Community to common measures as referred to in Article 13 of Directive 75/268/EEC and Article 15 of Directive 72/159/EEC.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 553/2003
of 27 March 2003
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 March 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC, EURATOM) No 1760/2006
of 28 November 2006
introducing, on the occasion of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union, special temporary measures for recruitment of officials of the European Communities
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 283 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Justice (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Auditors (3),
Whereas:
(1)
On the occasion of the forthcoming accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union, special temporary measures should be adopted that depart from the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities (hereafter referred to as Staff Regulations).
(2)
Given the relative sizes of the countries acceding and the number of persons potentially involved, these, albeit temporary, measures should remain in force for a substantial period. 31 December 2011 appears to be the most suitable expiry date in this regard.
(3)
Given the need to enable the planned recruitments to take place as soon as possible after accession, this Regulation should be adopted before the actual accession date,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. Notwithstanding the second and third paragraphs of Article 4, Article 7(1), the second paragraph of Article 27 and points (a) and (b) of Article 29(1) of the Staff Regulations, vacant posts may be filled after the actual date of accession of the countries concerned, and until 31 December 2011, by the appointment of Bulgarian and Romanian nationals, within the limit of the number of posts allotted and taking into account the budgetary discussions.
2. Appointments to posts shall be made:
(a)
for all grades, after the actual date of accession;
(b)
except for senior officials, (Directors-General or their equivalent in grade AD 16 or AD 15 and Directors or their equivalent in grade AD 15 or AD 14), following competitions on the basis of both qualifications and tests organised as specified in Annex III to the Staff Regulations.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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 REGULATION (EC) No 514/2006
of 30 March 2006
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 as regards the period for delivering cereals into intervention in some Member States in the 2005/06 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Under Commission Regulation (EC) No 824/2000 of 19 April 2000 establishing procedures for the taking-over of cereals by intervention agencies and laying down methods of analysis for determining the quality of cereals (2), should an offer be admissible, operators are informed as soon as possible of the delivery schedule. To this end, under Article 4(3) of that Regulation the final delivery to the intervention centre for which the offer is made must take place not later than the end of the fourth month following the month during which the offer was received.
(2)
The 2005/06 marketing year is the second year of application of the intervention mechanism for cereals in the Member States which joined the European Community on 1 May 2004.
(3)
Good weather conditions again led to a bumper harvest in 2005 in the new Member States, resulting in domestic market prices below the intervention price. As a result, since the intervention period was opened in November 2005, relatively large quantities of cereals have been offered for intervention. Due to the large quantities offered for intervention and their geographical spread, it is not possible to comply with the delivery deadline of 31 March 2006. To allow sufficient quantities of cereals offered to be taken over, the delivery period should be extended, and a derogation should therefore be made from Regulation (EC) No 824/2000.
(4)
Given the urgency of the market situation, which requires immediate measures, provision should be made for the immediate application of the measures provided for in this Regulation.
(5)
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
Notwithstanding the third subparagraph of Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 824/2000, in the 2005/06 marketing year the last delivery of cereals offered for intervention in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia must take place not later than the end of the seventh month following the month during which the offer was received, and in any event not later than 31 July 2006.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.
