COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2058/84
of 16 July 1984
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1430/82 in respect of certain restrictions on the importation of hemp seed
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42, 43 and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1430/82 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2910/83 (3), specified that importation of unbroken hemp seed, falling within subheading 12.01 B of the Common Customs Tariff, was to be authorized only if the germination rate did not exceed a maximum percentage to be determined or if the seed was to be used in scientific or technical experiments; whereas this provision aims at preventing such seed being sown and thus posing a threat to human health;
Whereas the fixing of a maximum germination rate raises more difficult technical problems than originally anticipated; whereas verification of compliance with such a requirement would be an undue hindrance to importation;
Whereas the maximum germination rate requirement should therefore be withdrawn and replaced by a stipulation that imports of the product in question will only be permitted subject to verification that it will not be used for sowing,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1430/82 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In paragraphs 1 and 2, 'in Article 1' is replaced by 'in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70';
2. Paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:
'3. The importation of unbroken hemp seed falling within subheading 12.01 B of the Common Customs Tariff shall be authorized only if it is verified that it will not be used for sowing.'
Article 2
The Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Article 1 (2) shall apply from 1 August 1984.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 16 July 1984.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1615/98 of 24 July 1998 fixing the minimum import price applicable to dried grapes during the 1998/99 marketing year as well as the countervailing charges to be imposed where that price is not observed
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2199/97 (2), and in particular Article 13(8) thereof,

- the prices obtained in international trade,

COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 February 2007
amending Decision 2005/513/EC on the harmonised use of radio spectrum in the 5 GHz frequency band for the implementation of Wireless Access Systems including Radio Local Area Networks (WAS/RLANs)
(notified under document number C(2007) 269)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/90/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Following the adoption of Commission Decision 2005/513/EC of 11 July 2005 on the harmonised use of radio spectrum in the 5 GHz frequency band for the implementation of Wireless Access Systems including Radio Local Area Networks (WAS/RLANs) (2), further investigations of the technical parameters defined in this Decision revealed that the maximum mean e.i.r.p. density limits in the bands 5 150-5 250 MHz and 5 250-5 350 MHz can be expressed in a similar way, thus substantially facilitating equipment testing, as opposed to the specifications in the Decision of 11 July 2005. The new formulation of the technical parameters would therefore ease the take-up of these systems in the EU.
(2)
Both ETSI and the CEPT have confirmed that the amendment to these technical parameters does not change the protection vis-à-vis the other services sharing the spectrum with WAS/RLANs and keeps in particular the aggregate interference from RLANs operating in the frequency band 5 150-5 350 MHz to a level sufficiently low so that interference to satellite communications would be avoided.
(3)
The Harmonised Standard for RLAN equipment using the 5 GHz bands which has been adopted by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) under number EN 301 893 takes account of this simplification of technical parameters.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Article 4(1) of Decision 2005/513/EC is replaced by the following:
‘Article 4
1. In the frequency band 5 150-5 350 MHz, WAS/RLANs shall be restricted to indoor use with a maximum mean e.i.r.p. of 200 mW. Furthermore, in the 5 150-5 350 MHz band the maximum mean e.i.r.p. density shall be limited to 10 mW/MHz in any 1 MHz band.’
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the refund on exportation of common wheat to all third countries with the exclusion of Poland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia was opened pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 899/2002(6), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1520/2002(7).
(2) Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 provides that the Commission may, on the basis of the tenders notified, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, decide to fix a maximum export refund taking account of the criteria referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95. In that case a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than the maximum refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For tenders notified from 13 to 19 September 2002, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 899/2002, the maximum refund on exportation of common wheat shall be EUR 0,00/t.

(2) Under Commission Decision 2000/785/EC(5) certain amendments were made to the movement restrictions applicable to intra-Community trade.
(3) The Italian authorities reported that the disease situation for avian influenza has improved and have requested certain amendments to the approved vaccination programme and the present trade restrictions.
(4) The improved disease situation makes it possible to abolish the trade conditions related to five-days advanced notification prior to dispatch of consignments of live poultry and hatching eggs to other Member States.
(5) It is furthermore the purpose of this Decision to apply trade restrictions not to all products deriving from animals kept in the vaccination area, but only to products originating from holdings, which have been subjected to vaccination.

extending the list of products given in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 718/2001(2), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Classification using common obligatory standards for fresh fruit and vegetables provides a reference framework that encourages fair trading and market transparency and also eliminates products of unsatisfactory quality from the market. It also helps to improve the profitability of production.
(2) With the help of representatives of the sector from the European Association of Mushroom Growers, the Working Party on Standardisation of Perishable Produce and Quality Development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) has just unanimously adopted a new standard for cultivated mushrooms of the genus Agaricus. Given that, in addition, the now considerable volume and value of intra- and extra-Community trade in cultivated mushrooms justify the adoption of a standard, the product should be added to the list of products which are to be supplied fresh to the consumer and are subject to standards.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
