COMMISSION DECISION

amending Decision 2006/771/EC on harmonisation of the radio spectrum for use by short-range devices
(notified under document number C(2009) 3710)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/381/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)
Commission Decision 2006/771/EC (2) harmonises the technical conditions for use of spectrum for a wide variety of short-range devices, including applications such as alarms, local communications equipment, door openers and medical implants. Short-range devices are typically mass-market and/or portable products which can easily be taken and used across borders; differences in spectrum access conditions therefore prevent their free movement, increase their production costs and create risks of harmful interference with other radio applications and services.
(2)
Commission Decision 2008/432/EC (3) amended the harmonised technical conditions for short-range devices contained in Decision 2006/771/EC by replacing its Annex.
(3)
However, due to rapid changes in technology and societal demands, new applications for short-range devices can emerge which require regular updates of spectrum harmonisation conditions.
(4)
On 5 July 2006, the Commission issued a permanent mandate (4) to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT), pursuant to Article 4(2) of Decision No 676/2002/EC, to update the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC in response to the technological and market developments in the area of short-range devices.
(5)
In its November 2008 report (5) submitted in response to that mandate, the CEPT advised the Commission to amend a number of technical aspects in the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC.
(6)
Decision 2006/771/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7)
Equipment operating within the conditions set in this Decision must also comply with Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (6) in order to use the spectrum effectively so as to avoid harmful interference, demonstrated either by meeting harmonised standards or by fulfilling alternative conformity assessment procedures.
(8)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1582/2002 of 5 September 2002 on a special intervention measure for cereals in Finland and Sweden(6), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) An invitation to tender for the refund for the export of oats produced in Finland and Sweden for export from Finland or Sweden to all third countries was opened pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1582/2002, except for Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia und Hungary.
(2) Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1582/2002 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 30 May to 5 June 2003, pursuant to the invitation to tender issued in Regulation (EC) No 1582/2002, the maximum refund on exportation of oats shall be EUR 9,95/t.
Article 2

Whereas the buying-in prices for intervention on the market in beef were fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3042/83 (2);

Whereas Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1302/73 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 427/77 (6), provides that the qualities and cuts of products to be bought in by intervention agencies shall be determined taking into account, on the one hand, the need to give effective support to the market and to maintain the balance between the market concerned and that in competing animal products, and on the other hand, the financial burden on the Community;
Whereas the application of these criteria in the present market situation in beef indicates that 'Ochsen A' should be excluded from the list of products which may be bought into intervention in the Federal Republic of Germany;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
