Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the sixth Council Directive (77/388/EEC) of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under the terms of Article 27 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorize any Member State to introduce special measures for derogation from the provisions of that Directive in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance;
Whereas the United Kingdom was authorized, by Decision 90/497/EEC (2), in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 27 (1) to (4) of Directive 77/388/EEC, to apply a measure derogating from Article 17 (1) of the said Directive until 31 December 1992;
Whereas the United Kingdom, by means of a letter dated 26 October 1992 and received by the Commission on 28 October 1992, requested authorization to extend the said derogation until 31 December 1996;
Whereas the other Member States were informed on 27 November 1992 of the United Kingdom's request;

Whereas the United Kingdom wishes to increase the turnover ceiling from £300 000 to £350 000 to take account of inflation;
Whereas that request can be accepted in view of the limited number of firms that have opted for this simplified scheme and the limited duration of the extension in question;
Whereas the derogation concerned has no negative effect on the own resources of the European Communities accruing from VAT,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
By way of derogation from the provisions of Article 17 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the United Kingdom is hereby authorized, until 31 December 1996, to provide within an optional scheme that enterprises with an annual turnover of less than £350 000 must postpone the right of deduction of tax until it has been paid to the supplier.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Commission Decision 2001/881/EC of 7 December 2001 drawing up a list of border inspection posts agreed for veterinary checks on animals and animal products from third countries and updating the detailed rules concerning the checks to be carried out by the experts of the Commission (1) sets out a list of border inspection posts for veterinary checks on live animals and animal products introduced into the Community from third countries in the Annex to that Decision (‘the list of border inspection posts’).
(2)
The accession of Bulgaria and Romania on 1 January 2007 will result in significant movements and changes in the Community's borders with neighbouring third countries.
(3)
Following the accession of those two countries, Hungary will cease to be the south eastern land border of the Community and the existing land border inspection post and live animal crossing point at Nagylak on the Hungarian-Romanian border will lose its function. Accordingly, it should be deleted from the list of border inspection posts. This deletion has been enacted in the package of legal technical adaptations necessary as a result of enlargement.
(4)
In addition, the Greek border with Bulgaria will also cease to be a frontier with a third country, and the existing land border inspection posts on that frontier at Ormenion and Promochonas will lose their function. Accordingly, they should be deleted from the list of border inspection posts. This deletion has also been enacted in the package of legal technical adaptations necessary as a result of enlargement.
(5)
All the proposed new locations in Bulgaria and Romania, put forward as border inspection posts with third countries, have been inspected by the Food and Veterinary Office of the Commission who have recommended that those completed satisfactorily should be approved by the Commission. Therefore, those locations should be included in the list of border inspection posts.
