COUNCIL DECISION

authorising the Federal Republic of Germany to continue to apply a measure derogating from Article 168 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
(2009/791/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC (1), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
By letter registered with the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 19 December 2008, the Federal Republic of Germany (hereinafter Germany) requested authorisation to continue to apply a measure derogating from the provisions of Directive 2006/112/EC governing the right of deduction and previously granted by Decision 2004/817/EC (2) under the then applicable Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (3).
(2)
In accordance with Article 395(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC, the Commission informed the other Member States of the request made by Germany in a letter dated 3 June 2009. By a letter dated 9 June 2009, the Commission notified Germany that it had all the information that it considered necessary to consider the request.
(3)
The derogating measure is intended to exclude VAT borne on goods and services completely from the right of deduction when the goods and services are used more than 90 % for the private purposes of the taxable person, or of his employees, or for non-business purposes in general.
(4)
The measure derogates from Article 168 of Directive 2006/112/EC establishing the general principle of the right of deduction and is intended to simplify the procedure for charging VAT. The amount of tax due at the final consumption is only affected to a negligible extent.
(5)
The legal and factual situation which justified the current application of the simplification measure in question has not changed and continues to exist. Germany should therefore be authorised to apply the simplification measure during a further period, but limited in time in order to allow an evaluation of the measure.
(6)
The derogation will not adversely affect the Communities' own resources accruing from VAT,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
By way of derogation from Article 168 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Germany is authorised to exclude VAT borne on goods and services from the right to deduct VAT when the goods and services in question are used more than 90 % for the private purposes of a taxable person or of his employees, or, more generally, for non-business purposes.
Article 2
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2010 until 31 December 2012.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 20 November 2008
on guidelines for the purpose of the risk-based animal health surveillance schemes provided for in Council Directive 2006/88/EC
(notified under document number C(2008) 6787)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/896/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 2006/88/EC lays down minimum control measures to be applied in the event of suspicion of, or an outbreak of certain diseases in aquatic animals. In addition, Part II of Annex IV to that Directive lists certain exotic and non-exotic diseases.
(2)
Article 10(1) of Directive 2006/88/EC provides that Member States are to ensure that a risk-based animal health surveillance scheme is applied in all farms and mollusc farming areas, as appropriate for the type of production. Such schemes are to take account of guidelines to be drawn up in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 10(4) of that Directive.
(3)
Pursuant to Directive 2006/88/EC, the aim of the animal health surveillance schemes is to detect any increased mortality in all farms and mollusc farming areas, as appropriate for the type of production, as well as to detect the diseases listed in Part II of Annex IV to that Directive, in farms and mollusc farming areas where species susceptible to those diseases are present. In addition, pursuant to Part B of Annex III to Directive 2006/88/EC, inspections carried out as part of such schemes also aim at advising the aquaculture production business operators on aquatic animal health issues, and where needed, at undertaking the necessary veterinary measures.
(4)
Due to the diversity of the aquaculture industry in the Community, the risk-based animal health surveillance schemes need to be adapted to the structure of that industry and to the animal health situation in each Member State. The guidelines to be taken into account by the Member States for the purpose of such schemes should therefore be limited to giving general guidance.
(5)
It is therefore appropriate to lay down the guidelines to be taken into account for the purpose of the risk-based animal health surveillance schemes in this Decision.
(6)
The measures laid down in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The guidelines to be taken into account for the purpose of the risk-based animal health surveillance schemes, provided for in Article 10(1) of Directive 2006/88/EC, are set out in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine (1), and in particular Article 33(1)(f) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 887/2005 (2) opened crisis distillation under Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for certain wines produced in Greece.
(2)
Since this is the first time that crisis distillation has been applied in Greece, some practical problems have been encountered in launching the system. Certain producers wishing to deliver their wine for distillation may be unable to do so by the deadline set. To ensure that the measure is effective, therefore, the period for delivering the wine to distilleries as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 887/2005 should be extended until 31 January 2006.
(3)
Regulation (EC) No 887/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4)
To ensure continuity of the measure, this Regulation should apply from 15 November 2005.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The first paragraph of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 887/2005 is hereby replaced by the following:
‘1. The quantities of wine covered by approved contracts shall be delivered to the distilleries not later than 31 January 2006. The alcohol obtained shall be delivered to the intervention agency in accordance with Article 6(1) not later than 15 March 2006.’
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 15 November 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(3) Whereas with regard to salmonid products for human consumption, measures can be restricted to the areas in Norway for which restrictions have been imposed by the Norwegian competent authorities; whereas however it is considered that a ban on the trade in live salmonids must be maintained;
(4) Whereas these measures must be reviewed in the light of the evolution of the disease;
(5) Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
