Whereas by letter dated 12 June 1992, Italy has submitted a programme for the eradication of rabies to be carried out in Autumn 1992;
Whereas after examination of the programme it was found to comply with all Community criteria relating to the eradication of the disease in conformity with Council Decision 90/638/EEC on laying down Community criteria for the eradication and monitoring of certain animal diseases (4), as last amended by Directive 92/65/EEC (5);

COMMISSION DECISION
of 30 April 2007
concerning a request from the Republic of Italy to apply a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of electricity for the operation of facilities used for the irrigation, lifting and drainage of waters
(notified under document number C(2007) 1823)
(Only the Italian text is authentic)
(2007/313/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 102 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
By initial letter registered at the Commission on 3 October 2006, followed by a complementary letter registered at the Commission on 22 January 2007, Italy informed the Commission of its intention to apply a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of electricity for the operation of facilities used for the irrigation, lifting and the drainage of waters by irrigation consortia.
(2)
Italy wishes to apply a reduced rate (10 %) to the supplies of electricity intended for the operation of facilities used for the irrigation, lifting and the drainage of waters by irrigation consortia which are considered as public law entities in charge, in accordance with national law, of the maintenance and other auxiliary work related to the drainage of waters. Moreover, it appears that no other similar actual or potential entities carry out similar activities in Italy.
(3)
According to Article 39 of Directive 2006/112/EC, the supply of electricity at the final stage, from traders and distributors to final consumers, is taxed at the place where the customer effectively uses and consumes the goods. This ensures that the supply is taxed in the country where actual consumption takes place.
(4)
The planned measure applying a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of electricity intended for the operation of facilities used for the irrigation, lifting and the drainage of waters is not likely to cause any distortion of competition when available to any consortium or entity operating such facilities under the same conditions.
(5)
As the measure is of a general nature (since it covers all supplies intended for the operation of facilities used for the irrigation, lifting and the drainage of waters), does not provide for any exception and does not apply as a rule to any other supplies for commercial, professional or other economic activities, there is no risk of distortion of competition. Therefore, the condition laid down in Article 102 of Directive 2006/112/EC is fulfilled and Italy should be authorised to apply the measure concerned,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Italy is hereby authorised to apply a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of electricity for the operation of facilities used for the irrigation, lifting and drainage of waters.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Italy.

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 748/95 of 31 March 1995 allocating, for 1995, certain catch quotas between the Member States for vessels fishing in the Norwegian exclusive economic zone and the fishing zone around Jan Mayen (2), provides for cod quotas for 1995;

Under Directive 2000/53/EC the Commission is required to evaluate the use of lead, mercury, cadmium or hexavalent chromium which are prohibited by Article 4(2)(a) of that Directive.
(2)
Having carried out the requisite technical and scientific assessments the Commission has reached a number of conclusions.
(3)
Certain exemptions from the prohibition should not be prolonged because the use of lead, mercury, cadmium or hexavalent chromium in those applications has become avoidable.
(4)
Certain materials and components containing lead, mercury, cadmium or hexavalent chromium should be exempt or continue to be exempt from the prohibition of Article 4(2)(a), since the use of these substances in those specific materials and components is still unavoidable. In some cases it is appropriate to review the expiry date of these exemptions in order to assess whether the use of the prohibited substances is still unavoidable in the future.
(5)
In the case of aluminium for machining purposes with a lead content up to 1,5 % by weight, described in point (2)(a) of the Annex, the Commission will assess, by 1 July 2007, whether the expiry date of that exemption has to be reviewed in relation to the availability of substitutes of lead.
(6)
In the case of lead-bearing shell and bushes, described in point (4) of the Annex, the Commission will assess, by 1 July 2007, whether the expiry date of that exemption has to be reviewed in order to ensure that lead-free technology can be applied in all engines and transmissions without harming their proper functioning.
(7)
In the case of the use of hexavalent chromium in corrosion preventive coatings related to bolt and nut assemblies for chassis applications, described in point (13)(b) of the Annex, the Commission will assess, by 1 July 2007, whether the expiry date of that exemption has to be reviewed in order to ensure that no accidental disconnection of essential mechanical parts can occur in the lifetime of the vehicle.
(8)
In the case of the use of cadmium in batteries for electrical vehicles, described in point 17 of the Annex, the Commission will assess, by the end of 2007, whether the expiry date of that exemption has to be reviewed in order to ensure the availability of alternative battery technologies and electrical vehicles.
(9)
Directive 2000/53/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
