Regulation (EC) No 2558/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 3 December 2001
amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 as regards the reclassification of settlements under swaps arrangements and under forward rate agreements
(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 285(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank(2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European System of national and regional accounts in the Community(4) contains the reference framework of common standards, definitions, classifications and accounting rules for drawing up the accounts of the Member States for the statistical requirements of the European Community, in order to obtain comparable results between Member States.
(2) In ESA 95, as in SNA 93, swaps are defined (5.67) as "contractual arrangements between two parties who agree to exchange, over time and according to predetermined rules, streams of payments on the same amounts of indebtedness" and it is specified that "the two most prevalent varieties are interest rate swaps and currency swaps".
(3) In original versions of ESA 95 and SNA 93, interest flows exchanged between two counterparts under any kinds of swaps and under forward rate agreements have been considered as non-financial transactions, recorded in property income, under the item interest.
(4) Problems have been raised by this statement and the Commission thus considers that it is necessary to exclude these interest flows from property income, in a manner similar to revised SNA 93.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to record these flows in financial transactions under the item financial derivatives, included in ESA 95 in F3 entitled "Securities other than shares".
(6) A specific treatment of these flows should be defined for the data transmitted under the excessive deficit procedure.
(7) The Committee on the statistical programmes of the European Communities, established by Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom(5), and the Committee on Monetary, Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics, established by Decision 91/115/EEC(6), have each been consulted in accordance with Article 3 of the said Decisions,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex A of Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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 Regulation (EC) No 2230/2002
of 13 December 2002
on the issue of system B export licences in the fruit and vegetables sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1176/2002(2), and in particular Article 6(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1886/2002(3) fixes the indicative quantities for system B export licences other than those sought in the context of food aid.
(2) In the light of the information available to the Commission today, there is a risk that the indicative quantities laid down for the current export period for lemons will shortly be exceeded. This overrun will prejudice the proper working of the export refund scheme in the fruit and vegetables sector.
(3) To avoid this situation, applications for system B licences for lemons after 13 December 2002 should be rejected until the end of the current export period,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Applications for system B export licences for lemons submitted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1886/2002, export declarations for which are accepted after 13 December 2002 and before 15 January 2003, are hereby rejected.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 14 December 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 13 December 2002.
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 515/96 of 25 March 1996 repealing Regulation (EC) No 2674/94 imposing definitive anti-dumping measures on imports of furazolidone originating in the People's Republic of China
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (2),
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. Previous procedure
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 2674/94 (3), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of furazolidone originating in the People's Republic of China following a complaint lodged by Orphahell BV, the sole Community producer of the product concerned.
B. Prohibition of the product concerned, repeal of the existing measures
(2) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1442/95 of 26 June 1995 amending Annexes I, II, III and IV of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (4), the use of the product concerned in animal foodstuffs throughout the Community was prohibited.
(3) As a result, the complainant informed the Commission that it had decided to cease production of furazolidone. There is therefore no longer any reason for maintaining Regulation (EC) No 2674/94 as Community production of furazolidone has ceased and the sale and import of the product concerned is banned.
C. Repeal of anti-dumping duties
(4) In view of the foregoing, the anti-dumping duty in force on imports of furazolidone originating in the People's Republic of China should be repealed, thereby terminating the proceeding,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 2674/94 is hereby repealed.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,
