REGULATION (EC) No 457/2007 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 25 April 2007
amending Regulation (EC) No 417/2002 on the accelerated phasing-in of double-hull or equivalent design requirements for single-hull oil tankers
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 80(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having consulted the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 417/2002 (3) provides for the accelerated phasing-in of double-hull or equivalent design requirements for single-hull oil tankers laid down in the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78), in order to reduce the risk of accidental oil pollution in European waters.
(2)
Regulation (EC) No 417/2002 introduced measures prohibiting the carriage of heavy grades of oil in single-hull oil tankers leaving or bound for ports in the European Union.
(3)
Following action by the Member States and the Commission within the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), this ban has been imposed worldwide through an amendment to Annex I to MARPOL 73/78.
(4)
Paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation 13H of Annex I to MARPOL 73/78 concerning the ban on the carriage of heavy grades of oil in single-hull oil tankers provide for the possibility of exemptions from the application of certain provisions of Regulation 13H. The statement by the Italian Presidency of the European Council on behalf of the European Union, recorded in the official report of the IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 50), expresses a political commitment to refrain from making use of these exemptions.
(5)
Under Regulation (EC) No 417/2002, a ship flying the flag of a Member State could apply the exemptions from Regulation 13H if it operated outside ports or offshore terminals under the jurisdiction of a Member State and still comply with Regulation (EC) No 417/2002.
(6)
Regulation (EC) No 417/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 417/2002 shall be replaced by the following:
‘3. No oil tanker carrying heavy grades of oil shall be allowed to fly the flag of a Member State unless such tanker is a double-hull tanker.
No oil tanker carrying heavy grades of oil, irrespective of its flag, shall be allowed to enter or leave ports or offshore terminals or to anchor in areas under the jurisdiction of a Member State, unless such tanker is a double-hull oil tanker.’
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th 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 2343/2001
of 30 November 2001
fixing the production refund on white sugar used in the chemical industry
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(2) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to EUR 36,225/100 kg net.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 December 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
