COMMISSION DECISION
of 11 July 2005
concerning a request from the Republic of Hungary to apply a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of natural gas
(notified under document number C(2005) 2514)
(Only the Hungarian text is authentic)
(2005/568/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), as last amended by Directive 2004/66/EC (2), and in particular Article 12(3)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
By letter registered at the Commission on 12 April 2005 the Republic of Hungary informed the Commission of its intention of applying a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of natural gas.
(2)
According to Annex X of the Accession Treaty, Hungary is allowed to apply the reduced VAT rate for the supply of natural gas and electricity until one year after accession to the EU. As from 1 January 2004, Hungary has applied the standard VAT rate to the supply of electricity.
(3)
Hungary intends to continue to apply a reduced rate to the supply of gas (15 %) and the standard rate to electricity (25 %). This differentiation of rates neither causes distortion of competition, nor a shift from the consumption of electricity to the consumption of gas. This is mainly due to national rules for the establishment of prices, which are quite different between natural gas and electricity, and to the fact that, from a technical-technological point of view, the two products can be substitute goods only for heating purposes. According to the information given by Hungarian authorities, the price for electricity is about three times the one for natural gas.
(4)
Moreover, the VAT rules regarding the place of supply of natural gas, as laid down in the Sixth VAT Directive, were amended by Directive 2003/92/EC (3). The supply of natural gas in the final stage, from traders and distributors to final consumer, is taxed at the place where the customer has effective use and consumption of the goods, in order to ensure that taxation takes place in the country where actual consumption takes place.
(5)
The planned measure is a general one applying a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of natural gas under Article 12(3)(b) of the Sixth VAT Directive.
(6)
Since the measure is a general one with no provision for exceptions, the risk of distortion of competition must be deemed non-existent. Since the condition laid down by Article 12(3)(b) of the Sixth Directive is thus fulfilled, Hungary should be able to apply the measure concerned as soon as this Decision is notified,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Hungary may apply the measure notified in its letter of 12 April 2005, applying a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of natural gas irrespective of the conditions of production and supply.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Hungary.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1217/2002
of 5 July 2002
requiring importers or manufacturers of certain Einecs substances to supply certain information and perform certain tests pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 of 23 March 1993 on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances [1], and in particular Article 12(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) A number of Member States have apprised the Commission of valid reasons for believing that certain substances in the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (Einecs) [2] may, due to the degree of exposure entailed in their production or use, pose a serious risk to humans or the environment.
(2) The manufacturers and importers concerned should therefore be required to provide the Commission with the information in their possession concerning those substances.
(3) The manufacturers and importers concerned should also be required to test the substances in question, to draw up a report on those tests and to forward those reports, together with the results of the tests, to the Commission, subject to the possibility provided for by Article 12(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 that, where a substance is produced or imported as such or in a preparation by several manufacturers or importers, further testing may be performed by one or more manufacturers or importers acting on behalf of the others.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 793/93,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Manufacturers and importers of one or more of the Einecs substances listed in the Annex to this Regulation shall:
(a) provide the Commission with the information specified in the Annex within the time-limits laid down therein;
(b) perform, in relation to each such substance, the tests indicated in the Annex in accordance with the protocols specified therein;
(c) provide the Commission with a report on each test, including the results thereof, within the time-limits laid down in the Annex.
Article 2

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1059/2006
of 12 July 2006
opening an invitation to tender for the reduction in the duty on sorghum imported into Spain from third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1) , and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Pursuant to the Community’s international obligations in the context of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (2), the Community has undertaken to import a certain quantity of sorghum into Spain.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 of 26 July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of tariff quotas for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain and imports of maize into Portugal (3), lays down the special additional detailed rules necessary for implementing the invitations to tender.
(3)
Taking into account the current market demand in Spain, an invitation to tender for the reduction in the duty on sorghum is appropriate.
(4)
Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 of 10 December 2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultrual products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP) (4) provides in particular for a 60 % reduction in the duty applicable to imports of 100 000 tonnes of sorghum per calendar year, and a 50 % reduction over this quota. Cumulation of this benefit and the benefit resulting from the invitation to tender for the reduction in the import duty would disturb the Spanish cereals market. Such cumulation must therefore be ruled out.
(5)
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
1. An invitation to tender is hereby opened for the reduction in the import duty referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 on sorghum to be imported into Spain.
2. Regulation (EC) No 1839/95 shall apply.
3. The reduction in the import duty for sorghum laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2886/2002 shall not apply in the case of this invitation to tender.
Article 2
The invitation to tender shall be open until 21 December 2006. During that time weekly invitations shall be issued, with quantities and closing dates laid down by a notice of invitation to tender.
Article 3
Import licences issued under this invitation to tender shall be valid for 50 days from the date they are issued, within the meaning of Article 10(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1839/95.
Article 4
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
