THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of the People's Republic of Angola on fishing off Angola (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community and the Republic of Angola held negotiations to determine the amendments or additions to be made to the abovementioned Agreement on the expiry of the application period of the Third Protocol annexed to the Agreement and currently in force;
Whereas, as a result of those negotiations, a new Protocol was initialled on 24 March 1994;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2137/95 of 7 September 1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1863/95 (2), and in particular Article 9 (2) and Article 13 (11) thereof, as well as the corresponding provisions in other Regulations on the common organization of the market in agricultural products,
Whereas Article 23 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1199/95 (4), provides that where products exported are not subject to the production of an export licence and a licence is not required for those products in order for them to benefit from advance fixing of the refund, a Member State may establish a simplified procedure under which the advance fixing certificate may be kept by the authority in the Member State which is competent both for issuing the certificate and paying the refund, without the certificate having to be presented to the exporting customs authorities; whereas that simplified procedure was provided for because, in the case of an advance fixing certificate, all that is needed is a method of fixing the refund in advance, not a real export licence;
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (5) provides that the refund must only be granted where an application is submitted and an export licence including advance fixing of the refund is presented; whereas, in the case of several products, a licence is only required for the granting of the refund;
Whereas the terms 'advance fixing certificate` and 'export licence including advance fixing of the refund` as they appear in the different language versions of Community agricultural legislation may create confusions concerning the scope of application of Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88; whereas the conditions of application of that Article should therefore be made clear;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of the Management Committees concerned,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
A fifth paragraph is added to Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 as follows:
'5. This Article shall also apply to products for which an export licence comprising advance fixing of the refund is only required for the granting of the refund.`
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 July 1995.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

(notified under document C(2009) 9951)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/976/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 16 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 64/432/EEC applies to intra-Union trade in bovine animals and Chapter II of Annex D thereto sets out the diagnostic tests for enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) to be used for the control and eradication of that disease and for surveillance and monitoring, as well as for the establishment and maintenance of an officially enzootic-bovine-leukosis-free herd status and certification required for intra-Union trade in bovine animals.
(2)
Chapter II of Annex D to Directive 64/432/EEC provides that tests for EBL are to be carried out by either agar gel immune-diffusion test (AGID) with the use of antigen standardised against the official EC standard serum (EI serum), or by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) standardised against E4 serum. Both standard sera are supplied by the National Veterinary Institute, Technical University of Denmark.
(3)
A new EBL standard serum (E05 serum) has recently been developed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) Reference Laboratory for Enzootic Bovine Leukosis in Germany (Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute) in cooperation with the OIE Reference Laboratories in the United Kingdom (Veterinary Laboratories Agency) and in Poland (National Veterinary Research Institute) after being tested in a ring trial between those laboratories. The E05 serum has been validated against the EI and E4 sera by different AGID and ELISAs and consequently included as an accredited OIE standard serum in Section B(2) of Chapter 2.4.11 of the OIE Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals, Sixth Edition, 2008. This serum is available from the OIE Reference Laboratory for enzootic bovine leukosis in Germany.
(4)
In addition, the National Veterinary Institute, Technical University of Denmark has informed the Commission that it is no longer able to fulfil its obligations for the supply of the standard sera currently provided for in Chapter II of Annex D to Directive 64/432/EEC.
(5)
The German competent authorities and the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute have agreed to be a supplier of the E05 serum which shall consequently become the new official European Union (EU) standard serum for EBL.
(6)
Directive 64/432/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee of the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Chapter II of Annex D to Directive 64/432/EEC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
