COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2419/1999
of 12 November 1999
supplementing the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2301/97 on the entry of certain names in the "Register of certificates of specific character" provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 of 14 July 1992 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs(1), and in particular Article 9(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92, Spain has forwarded an application to the Commission for a name to be entered in the Register of certificates of specific character;
(2) The description "traditional speciality guaranteed" can only be used with names entered in that Register;
(3) An objection under Article 8 of that Regulation was sent to the Commission following the publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities(2) of the name set out in the Annex hereto, but that objection was withdrawn after proper explanations were provided. The term "Serrano" is considered specific in itself in accordance with the first indent of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92, i.e. it is untranslatable. It must therefore be used as it stands. Furthermore, the term "Serrano" is registered without prejudice to the use of the term "mountain". There is no conflict between the two terms;
(4) As a consequence, the name set out in the Annex should be entered in the Register of certificates of specific character and thereby protected as a traditional speciality guaranteed within the Community pursuant to Article 13(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92. This means that the name can only be used where the specification is complied with. However, a transitional period of three months should be allowed to use up stocks of the product not meeting the specification;
(5) The Annex hereto supplements the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2301/97(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2527/98(4),
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The name set out in the Annex hereto is hereby added to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2301/97 and entered in the Register of certificates of specific character provided for in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 March 2000.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), as last amended by Directive 82/893/EEC (2), and in particular Article 4c (1) (c) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/461/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (3), as last amended by Directive 82/893/EEC and in particular Article 13a (2) thereof,
Whereas Council Decision 82/838/EEC (4) recognizes certain parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as being either officially swine-fever-free or swine-fever-free;
Whereas outbreaks of classical swine fever have been recorded in some of the parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany referred to in Annexes I and II to Decision 82/838/EEC;
Whereas, by Decision 83/28/EEC (5), the Commission has suspended for a period of 15 days the status of official freedom from swine fever or freedom from swine fever of affected parts of German territory;
Whereas taking account of the epidemiological evolution of the disease, the Commission, by Decision 83/68/EEC (6), temporarily prolonged this period of suspension for certain regions beyond the 15 days provided for initially;
Whereas, since that time, study of the epidemiological situation leads to the conclusion that the disease has persisted in certain districts and it is necessary to withdraw the status of officially swine-fever-free from these districts;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The status of those parts of the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany as areas recognized to be officially swine-fever-free within the meaning of Article 4c (1) (c) of Directive 64/432/EEC is withdrawn for the regions listed in the Annex to this Decision.

(2) It is appropriate to support certain Serbian democratic municipalities by delivering asphalt to them; deliveries of asphalt fall within the framework of the "Energy for Democracy" initiative; given that asphalt is a product derived from oil, delivery thereof serves a policy objective which is identical to that of the said initiative and the beneficiaries are chosen according to the same criteria.
(3) It is also necessary to take a decision on the municipalities to which the said initiative will be extended.
(4) Subsequent action by the Community is needed in order to implement the measure cited below,

Whereas:
(1) Following the detection of residues of veterinary medicines in certain products of animal origin imported from China, and the shortcomings identified during an inspection visit to this country as regards the veterinary medicines regulation and the residue control system in live animals and animal products, the Commission adopted Decision 2002/69/EC 30 January 2002 concerning certain protective measures with regard to the products of animal origin imported from China(2).
(2) The information provided by Chinese authority and the favourable results of the checks carried out by Member States have allowed authorisation of importation of certain products of animal origin from China by means of several modifications of Decision 2002/69/EC. These modifications were consolidated in the Commission Decision 2002/994/EC(3).
(3) Decision 2002/69/EC, as amended by Decision 2002/933/EC(4), included the fillets of Salmon (Salmo salar) of both wild and aquaculture origin as a product authorised to be imported from China. However, this product was maintained in the Annex to Decision 2002/994/EC without specifying that both origins were authorised.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 4(1)(d) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 884/2006 of 21 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the financing by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) of intervention measures in the form of public storage operations and the accounting of public storage operations by the paying agencies of the Member States (2) provides, in the context of public storage operations, for the financing of the depreciation of the products stored in public intervention.

Points 1, 2 and 3 of Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 884/2006 lay down the method for calculating the depreciation. The depreciation percentage at the time of the buying-in of the agricultural products must not exceed the difference between the buying-in price and the foreseeable disposal price for each of these products.

The Commission may also restrict the depreciation at the time of buying-in to a fraction of this depreciation percentage, but that fraction may not be less than 70 % of the overall depreciation.
(3)
Coefficients for certain products to be applied by the intervention agencies to the monthly buying-in values of those products in the 2009 accounting year should therefore be fixed, to enable the agencies to establish the depreciation amounts.
