(notified under document C(2010) 626)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2010/66/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 6(1b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. It requires each Member State to carry out an annual monitoring programme for TSEs, in accordance with Annex III to that Regulation. Those programmes are to cover as a minimum certain subpopulations of bovine animals belonging to specified age groups.
(2)
That Regulation also provides that Member States which can demonstrate an improvement of the epidemiological situation of their country, according to certain criteria, may have their annual monitoring programmes revised.
(3)
Commission Decision 2009/719/EC (2) authorises the Member States listed in the Annex to that Decision to revise their annual monitoring programmes. It also provides that their programmes are to apply at least to all animals belonging to certain subpopulations of bovine animals above 48 months of age.
(4)
On 2 October 2008, Cyprus submitted an application to the Commission to revise its annual monitoring programme as regards BSE.
(5)
The Food and Veterinary Office carried out an inspection in Cyprus from 29 June 2009 to 3 July 2009 in order to verify compliance with the epidemiological criteria laid down in point 7 of Part I of Chapter A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.
(6)
The results of that inspection acknowledged the proper implementation in Cyprus of the rules on protective measures regarding bovine spongiform encephalopathies (BSE) laid down in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001. In addition, all the requirements laid down in the third subparagraph of Article 6(1b) and all the epidemiological criteria set out in point 7 of Part I of Chapter A of Annex III to that Regulation were checked and found to be met by Cyprus.
(7)
In view of all available information, the application submitted by Cyprus to revise its annual monitoring programme as regards BSE has been favourably evaluated. It is therefore appropriate to authorise Cyprus to revise its annual monitoring programme so that 48 months is the new age limit for BSE testing in that Member State.
(8)
The Annex to Decision 2009/719/EC should be amended accordingly.
(9)
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:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 821/97 of 6 May 1997 on additional quantities of textile products to be made available to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 (1) of 12 October 1993 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries, as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 447/97 (2) and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas for certain categories of textile products Vietnam issued export licences in 1996 for amounts in excess of its 1996 quota levels; whereas it is willing to take appropriate export management measures in 1997 to take account of the overlicensing;
Whereas for a number of the product categories export licences have been presented to the competent authorities in the Community in respect of quantities in excess of those actually authorized by the Vietnamese authorities when the licences were issued, with the result that levels for those categories have been exceeded; whereas Vietnam is working in close cooperation with the Community to establish the cause of the discrepancies, which may be the result of fraud;
Whereas the overruns for other product categories are the result of communication problems between the central licensing board and its regional branches;
Whereas this has led to a situation where some importers are unable to get an import licence for goods which have already been shipped to the Community, and the goods are consequently blocked in the port of arrival;
Whereas Vietnam and the Community are currently making efforts to establish a system of control which will greatly reduce the risk of any recurrence of such overshipments;
Whereas the quantities in question, in relation to total imports of these products into the Community, are unlikely to cause market disruption if the goods are released into free circulation;
Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 allows the Commission to open up additional opportunities for imports under particular circumstances;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textile Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The following quantities shall be made available to allow the release into free circulation of products for which Vietnam has issued 1996 export licences:

(6)
