COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1214/2008
of 5 December 2008
fixing the coefficients applicable to cereals exported in the form of Irish whiskey for the period 2008/2009
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 162(3) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 of 10 November 2006 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the fixing and granting of adjusted refunds in respect of cereals exported in the form of certain spirit drinks (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 lays down that the quantities of cereals eligible for the refund are to be the quantities placed under control and distilled, weighted by a coefficient to be fixed annually for each Member State concerned. The coefficient is to express the average ratio between the total quantities exported and the total quantities marketed of the spirit drink concerned, on the basis of the trend noted in those quantities during the number of years corresponding to the average ageing period of the spirit drink in question.
(2)
According to the information provided by Ireland in respect of the period 1 January to 31 December 2007, the average ageing period for Irish whiskey in 2007 was five years.
(3)
The coefficients for the period 1 October 2008 to 30 September 2009 should therefore be fixed accordingly.
(4)
Article 10 of Protocol 3 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area excludes the grant of refunds in respect of exports to Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. Moreover, the Community has concluded agreements abolishing export refunds with certain third countries. Under the terms of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006, this should be taken into account in calculating the coefficients for 2008/2009,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
For the period 1 October 2008 to 30 September 2009, the coefficients provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1670/2006 applying to cereals used in Ireland for manufacturing Irish whiskey shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
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 1 October 2008.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(notified under document number C(2002) 443)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2002/109/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC(1), as last amended by Directive 96/43/EC(2), and in particular Article 18(7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries(3), and in particular Article 22(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Due to the occurrence of infectious salmon anemia (ISA) in Norway, in July 1999 the Commission adopted Decision 1999/766/EC on certain protective measures in respect of infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) in salmonids in Norway(4). This Decision has subsequently been amended twice, last by Decision 2001/313/EC(5). The measures include a ban on the imports into the Community of live salmon and stringent conditions for the importation of salmon products for human consumption. These measures apply until 1 February 2002.
(2) During 2001 Norway has reported further outbreaks of ISA. Despite the protective measures taken by the Norwegian Veterinary Authorities, a rapid eradication of disease cannot be envisaged.
(3) In the light of the disease situation in Norway, the measures of Decision 1999/766/EC should be extended until 1 February 2003.
(4) It is appropriate to prolong the restriction measures concerning the eggs and gametes of the family Salmonidae provided for in Decision 1999/766/EC until the risk of transmission of ISA via these products is reviewed and properly assessed. The period for the review of these measures shall therefore also be extended until 1 February 2003.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
In Article 4 of Decision 1999/766/EC the words "1 February 2002" are replaced by "1 February 2003" and the words "31 December 2001" are replaced by "1 February 2003".

COMMISSION DECISION
of 25 May 2005
establishing the classes of external fire performance of roofs and roof coverings for certain construction products as provided for by Council Directive 89/106/EEC
(notified under document number C(2005) 1501)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2005/403/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), and in particular Article 20(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 89/106/EEC envisages that in order to take account of the different levels of protection for construction works at national, regional or local level, it may be necessary to establish in interpretative documents classes corresponding to the performance of products in respect of each essential requirement. Those documents have been published as the ‘Communication of the Commission with regard to the interpretative documents of Council Directive 89/106/EEC’ (2).
(2)
With respect to the essential requirement of safety in the event of fire, interpretative document No 2 lists a number of interrelated measures which together define the fire safety strategy to be developed in different ways in the Member States.
(3)
Interpretative document No 2 identifies the requirements for construction products for roofs exposed to an external fire.
(4)
By way of a harmonised solution, a system of classes was adopted in Commission Decision 2001/671/EC of 21 August 2001 implementing Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards the classification of external fire performance of roofs and roof coverings (3).
(5)
In the case of certain plastisol coated steel roof sheets, it is necessary to use the classification established in Decision 2001/671/EC.
(6)
The external fire performance of many construction products and/or materials, within the classification provided for in Decision 2001/671/EC, is well established and sufficiently well known to fire regulators in Member States with the consequence that they do not require testing for this particular performance characteristic.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The construction products and/or materials which satisfy all the requirements of the performance characteristic ‘external fire performance’ without need for further testing are set out in the Annex.
Article 2
The specific classes to be applied to different construction products and/or materials, within the external fire performance classification adopted in Decision 2001/671/EC, are set out in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas by Council Decision 79/542/EEC (3), as last amended by Commission Decision 92/14/EEC (4), the Council has established a list of third countries from which Member States authorize imports of bovine animals, swine, equidae and fresh meat, including meat products;
Whereas it is necessary to take into account the health situation of the third countries from which Member States authorize the imports of equidae;
Whereas it is therefore appropriate that the said imports from some third countries are only authorized for Member States from one or more parts of the territory;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee;
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Member States authorize imports of equidae from parts of third country territories listed in the Annex to the Decision.
