Commission Regulation (EC) No 1285/2001
of 28 June 2001
rejecting a list of applications for the registration of designations communicated under Article 17 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 of 14 July 1992 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2796/2000(2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) A decision on 314 German applications, communicated under Article 17(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 for the registration of "mineral waters" as protected designations of origin, is pending.
(2) In the case of at least 125 of these 314 applications, the proposed names are not geographical and they are consequently not "designations of origin", as specified in Article 2(a) of that Regulation.
(3) Article 2(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 allows under certain circumstances to consider traditional geographical or non-geographical names as designations of origin. This Article, which is an exception to the general rule, may not be applied to any of these 125 applications, as they do not clearly justify that the proposed designations have been traditionally attributed to a particular geographical area. Accordingly these 125 applications may not be registered.
(4) In the case of 15 of the 314 German applications communicated under Article 17(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 for registrations of "mineral waters", the proposed names are geographical but include "numbers", the latter helping to distinguish between "mineral waters" having the same designations. Designations of origin including "numbers" shall not be accepted, being the objective of the Regulation the protection of only geographical names. Accordingly these 15 applications may not be registered.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Regulatory Committee on Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The applications for registrations under Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 of the designations listed in the Annex to this Regulation are rejected.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Article 10 stipulates that with each yearly renewal, quantities in every product group shall be increased by 2,5 %.
(6)
Regulation (EC) No 1342/2007 should be amended accordingly,

COMMISSION DECISION of 27 January 1992 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of dihydrostreptomycin originating in Japan (92/61/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee in accordance with the abovementioned Regulation,
Whereas:
A. PROCEEDING
(1) In April 1990, the Commission received a complaint from the European Council of Chemical Manufacturers' Federations (Cefic) (hereinafter referred to as 'the complainant') on behalf of the only Community producer of dihydrostreptomycin (hereinafter referred to as 'DHS') concerning imports of that product originating in the People's Republic of China and Japan.
(2) The complaint contained evidence of the existence of dumping and of the resulting material injury, which was sufficient to justify the opening of an investigation. The Commission therefore announced, in a notice published in the Offical Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning the product in question, which falls within CN code 2941 20 10.
B. PROVISIONAL MEASURES
(3) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 2054/91 (3), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of dihydrostreptomycin (DHS) falling within CN code 2941 20 10 and originating in China. Furthermore, the validity of the provisional duty was extended for a period not exceeding two months by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3091/91 (4).
(4) In recitals 31 to 35 of the provisional Regulation the Commission found that the imports of DHS from Japan had not caused or contributed to the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
C. SUBSEQUENT PROCEDURE
(5) No reasoned arguments were put forward by either the Community industry or the exporter of DHS from China which has previously disputed the Commission's findings as set out in recitals 31 to 35 of the provisional Regulation in relation to the exports of DHS originating in Japan.
D. TERMINATION
(6) Accordingly, it is apparent that protective measures with regard to Japan are unnecessary and the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of DHS originating in Japan should be terminated without measures being imposed.
(7) No objections to this conclusion were raised in the Advisory Committee.
(8) The complainant was informed of the essential facts and principal considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding concerning Japan and did not dispute them,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Sole Article
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of dihydrostreptomycin originating in Japan is hereby terminated. Done at Brussels, 27 January 1992.

(3) After examining the allocations for all the actions covered by heading 4 (External action) of the financial perspective, the two arms of the budgetary authority agree that this additional expenditure cannot be financed in 2001 within the limits of the ceiling set for this heading.
(4) The conditions for using the flexibility instrument as set out in paragraph 24 of the abovementioned Interinstitutional Agreement are satisfied,
HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
