COMMISSION DECISION
of 15 May 2007
authorising the placing on the market of oil enriched with phytosterols/phytostanols as a novel food ingredient under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document number C(2007) 2073)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2007/343/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
On 4 May 2005 the company Enzymotec made a request to the competent authorities of the Netherlands to place oil enriched with phytosterols/phytostanols on the market as a novel food or a novel food ingredient.
(2)
On 23 May 2006 the competent food assessment body of the Netherlands issued its initial assessment report. In that report it came to the conclusion that the oil enriched with phytosterols is safe for human consumption.
(3)
The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 29 May 2006.
(4)
Within the sixty day-period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision.
(5)
The objections raised concerned issues of risk management rather than risk assessment issues, therefore there was no need to consult the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
(6)
The authorisation of oil enriched with phytosterols/phytostanols should only cover use in foods where the addition of phytosterols/phytostanols is authorised. The rules concerning the presentation and the labelling of foods with added phytosterols/phytostanols apply.
(7)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 608/2004 of 31 March 2004 (2) concerning the labelling of foods and food ingredients with added phytosterols, phytosterol esters, phytostanols and/or phytostanol esters ensures that consumers receive the information necessary in order to avoid excessive intake of added phytosterols/phytostanols.
(8)
The measures provided for 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
Oil enriched with phytosterols/phytostanols as specified in Annex 1 may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food ingredient for use in the foods specified in Annex 2.
Article 2
The products containing the novel food ingredient shall be presented in such a manner that they can be easily divided into portions that contain either a maximum of 3 g (in case of one portion per day) or a maximum of 1 g (in case of three portions per day) of added phytosterols/phytostanols.
The amount of phytosterols/phytostanols added to a container of beverages shall not exceed 3 g.
Spicy sauces and salad dressings including mayonnaise shall be packed as single portions.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Whereas, in the case of oxalic acid and its salts and esters, falling within subheading 29.15 A I of the Common Customs Tariff, originating in South Korea, the individual ceiling was fixed at 170 000 ECU; whereas, on 2 November 1987, imports of these products into the Community originating in Korea reached the ceiling in question after being charged thereagainst; whereas it is appropriate to re-establish the levying of customs duties in respect of the products in question against South Korea,

Commission Regulation (EC) No 613/2004
of 1 April 2004
temporarily derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(1), and in particular Article 29(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95(2) provides that export licences are to be issued on the fifth working day following the date on which the application is lodged, provided that the Commission has not taken any specific action during that period.
(2) In view of the public holidays in 2004 and the irregular publication of the Official Journal of the European Union during those holidays, the period for reflection of five working days will be too brief to guarantee proper administration of the market and should be temporarily extended.
(3) 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:
Article 1
As an exception to Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95, licences for which applications are lodged during the periods set out below shall be issued on the corresponding date, provided no specific action as referred to in Article 10(2) is taken before those dates:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 262/2006
of 15 February 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 2729/2000 laying down detailed implementing rules on controls in the wine sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 72(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Under Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2729/2000 (2) plots which are the subject of an application for aid for permanent abandonment are to be systematically verified on the spot.
(2)
Under Article 8(1)(b) and (e) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 of 31 May 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine, as regards production potential (3), the application procedure for the permanent abandonment premium to be laid down by the Member States must provide for subsequent verification of the existence of the vines concerned, of the area concerned and of its average yield or production capacity, and verification that grubbing-up has taken place.
(3)
Since developments in remote-sensing technology have made it a reliable tool, those Member States who wish to do so should be given the option of using it provided that this maintains the level of verification.
(4)
To verify the existence of the vines concerned, of the area concerned and of its average yield or production capacity, an on-the-spot check is indispensable as these factors cannot be verified through remote sensing.
(5)
However, remote sensing can be used to verify that vines have actually been grubbed up and therefore its use should be permitted for this stage of control.
(6)
In view of the difficulties in calculating area through remote sensing, this method should be authorised only in cases of abandonment of entire vineyard parcels.
(7)
Regulation (EC) No 2729/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8)
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
In Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2729/2000 the following third subparagraph is added:
‘Verification that grubbing-up has actually taken place as provided for in Article 8(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1227/2000 may be carried out by remote sensing, in the case of abandonment of the entire vineyard parcel.’
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 provides that where a foreseeable change in the agricultural conversion rate would result in an appreciable fall for a currency, that change shall be suspended for the currency in question for a certain period during which the monetary trend must be confirmed before the change can take place;
Whereas the current monetary trend has resulted in a situation in which the aforementioned conditions have been fulfilled, in particular for the Belgian and Luxembourg franc; whereas a similar problem may arise shortly for other Community currencies; whereas, however, the trend does not seem to be certain; whereas, accordingly, it would appear appropriate, exceptionally and in view of the potential budgetary impact, in the case of the currencies concerned, to increase the number of reference periods constituting the period of suspension,
