COUNCIL DECISION of 13 September 1993 changing the import arrangements established by Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 and applied in the Benelux to certain State-trading countries in respect of various products
(93/506/EEC)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 (1) concerns import arrangements for products originating in State-trading countries, not liberalized at Community level;
Whereas it was laid down by the Council in Regulation (EEC) No 2456/92 of 13 July 1992 fixing the import quotas to be opened by Member States in respect of State-trading countries in 1992 (2) that the provisions of Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83, stipulating automatic extension of the previous year's quotas, would not be applicable for 1993; whereas this was done on the assumption that Community provisions covering the national restrictions which exist pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 would be implemented by 31 December 1992;
Whereas, to that end, the Commission put before the Council on 10 November 1992 a proposal for a Regulation concerning the uniform common rules applicable to imports from certain third countries, repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82 (3), (EEC) No 1766/82 (4) and (EEC) No 3420/83; whereas the Council has not yet taken a decision on this proposal;
Whereas, for the above reasons, certain products originating in the third countries referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83 can no longer be imported into certain Member States since 1 January 1993 unless there is exceptional application of Articles 7 et seq. of that Regulation;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83, Belgium, acting on behalf of the Benelux countries, has informed the other Member States and the Commission that it considers that changes should be made, pursuant to that Regulation, to the import arrangements applied in the Benelux to certain State-trading countries in respect of various products;
Whereas the measure proposed entails the abolition of quantitative restrictions; whereas such a measure may, in the context of purely national arrangements, jeopardize the establishment of the common arrangements referred to above aimed at freeing all products at Community level except those subject to Community quotas and surveillance measures; whereas, pending the implementation of the common arrangements, the Benelux should be authorized to open import facilities temporarily for only small quantities to cover its immediate requirements,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Under the import arrangements laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3420/83, the Benelux shall open import facilities, by way of exception, for the following products originating in certain State-trading countries:

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article J.4(2) thereof,
Having regard to the Declaration on Western European Union (WEU) included in the Final Act signed upon the adoption of the Treaty,
Whereas the Council adopted today on the basis of Article J.3 of the Treaty on European Union a joint action concerning a contribution by the European Union to the re-establishment of a viable police force in Albania;
Whereas such an action would require staff having a specific expertise in police operations; whereas the WEU has already undertaken a mission consisting in providing assistance and advice to the Albanian police;
Whereas under these conditions the European Union should have recourse to the WEU;
Whereas, following a request by the European Union on the basis of Article J.4(2), the WEU Military Staff completed a Feasibility Study on possible options for an International Police Operation in Albania (Revision 1) and the supplement thereto, hereinafter referred to as the WEU Feasibility Study;
Whereas the WEU Permanent Council adopted on 2 February 1999 the contingency plan for an international police operation in Albania based on one of the options identified in the WEU Feasibility Study;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 283/2008
of 27 March 2008
replacing Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 of 25 April 2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
As a result of the United States’ failure to bring the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) in compliance with its obligations under the WTO agreements, Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 imposed a 15 % ad valorem additional customs duty on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America as from 1 May 2005. In conformity with the WTO authorisation to suspend the application of concessions to the United States, the Commission shall adjust the level of suspension annually to the level of nullification or impairment caused by the CDSOA to the Community at that time.
(2)
The CDSOA disbursements for the most recent year for which data are available relate to the distribution of anti-dumping and countervailing duties collected during the Fiscal Year 2007 (1 October 2006 to 30 September 2007). On the basis of the data published by the United States’ Customs and Border Protection, the level of nullification or impairment caused to the Community is calculated at USD 33,38 million.
(3)
Since the level of nullification or impairment and consequently of suspension has decreased, the last 30 products of the list in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 should be removed from the list in Annex I to that Regulation.
(4)
The effect of a 15 % ad valorem additional import duty on imports from the United States of the products in the amended Annex I represents, over one year, a value of trade that does not exceed USD 33,38 million.
(5)
To make sure that there are no delays in the customs clearance of goods removed from the scope of the 15 % ad valorem additional import duty, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on trade retaliation,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 is replaced by 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 Union.
It shall apply from 1 May 2008.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 475/2008
of 29 May 2008
fixing the export refunds on syrups and certain other sugar products exported without further processing
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 33(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(c), (d) and (g) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2)
Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3)
The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4)
Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that comply with the requirements of Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2).
(5)
Export refunds may be set to cover the competitive gap between Community and third country's exports. Community exports to certain close destinations and to third countries granting Community products a preferential import treatment are currently in a particular favourable competitive position. Therefore, refunds for exports to those destinations should be abolished.
(6)
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
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
