COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 627/2005
of 22 April 2005
revoking Regulation (EC) No 206/2005 imposing definitive safeguard measures against imports of farmed salmon
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3285/94 of 22 December 1994 on common rules for imports and repealing Regulation (EC) No 518/94 (1), and in particular Article 21(2)(b), thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 519/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports from certain third countries and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1765/82, (EEC) No 1766/82 and (EEC) No 3420/83 (2), and in particular Article 18(2)(b), thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
On 6 March 2004, the Commission initiated a safeguard investigation on imports of farmed salmon into the Community. On 4 February 2005, the Commission imposed definitive safeguard measures by Commission Regulation (EC) No 206/2005 (3).
(2)
On 23 October 2004, the Commission initiated an anti-dumping investigation on imports of farmed salmon originating in Norway. On 22 April 2005, the Commission adopted provisional anti-dumping measures by Commission Regulation (EC) No 628/2005 (4).
(3)
The imposition of definitive safeguard measures on imports of farmed salmon of all origins followed an investigation covering the period 2000 to 2003. Having reached a provisional determination that, in the period from 1 October 2003 to 30 September 2004, imports from Norway have continued to increase and that there is injurious dumping, the Commission adopted provisional anti-dumping measures against imports of farmed salmon from Norway.
(4)
Imports of farmed salmon from Norway in the year ending 30 September 2004 represent around 60 % of the Community market and around 75 % of overall imports into the Community. In Regulation (EC) No 206/2005, the Commission had found that the considerable increase in imports had a devastating effect on the profitability of the Community producers, given the accompanying price drop. The provisional anti-dumping measures in relation to imports of farmed salmon originating in Norway would eliminate the unfair price element in these imports. It can also be expected that they will slow down the quantitative import increase originating in Norway, the largest source of imports into the Community. Therefore, in the particular circumstances of this case, it is considered that anti-dumping measures are sufficient to address the injury which the community industry is suffering, and it is no longer necessary to maintain the safeguard measures, which should therefore be repealed at the same time as the anti-dumping measures enter into force,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Sole Article
Regulation (EC) No 206/2005 is hereby revoked.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 27 April 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Italy, on the basis of various information notified to the Commission regarding the need for controls on its territory has asked to benefit from this provision for the 1997/98, 1998/99 and 1999/2000 marketing years; whereas, having studied the said information, it would appear necessary to accept the application made by Italy;
Whereas this authorization is valid for the 1997/98, 1998/99 and 1999/2000 marketing years, provided that the conditions relating to controls in Italy remain unchanged,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

COMMISSION DECISION
of 4 June 2009
amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, the Annex to Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the exemption for an application of lead as impurity in RIG Faraday rotators used for fibre optic communication systems
(notified under document number C(2009) 4165)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/428/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 2002/95/EC requires the Commission to review the exempting for certain materials and components of electric and electronic equipment from Article 4(1) of that Directive.
(2)
Having carried out the required technical and scientific assessment, the Commission considers that RIG (rare earth iron garnet) Faraday rotators which meet the maximum concentration values set by Directive 2002/95/EC are currently available and that the exemption granted in this regard should be reviewed.
(3)
Directive 2002/95/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4)
Pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2002/95/EC, the Commission has consulted the relevant parties. During the consultation the need to ensure that producers are given sufficient time for the appropriate qualification of RIG Faraday rotators with the restriction of lead as laid down by Directive 2002/95/EC emerged. It should therefore be ensured that the health or consumer safety impacts caused by substitution are not likely to outweigh the environmental, health or consumer safety benefits of the substitution, in particular in safety-relevant equipment such as communication systems.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 18 of Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2),
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Whereas these amounts must be determined as specified in Article 2 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3654/90;
Whereas during the first stage the market price of broken price in Portugal has differed only minimally from the Community threshold price; whereas no accession compensatory amount should therefore be applied to this product or products made from it;
Whereas 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
The accession compensatory amounts indicated in the Annex to this Regulation shall be applicable in the 1990/91 marketing year to the products listed at (a) in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 (3).
