COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 995/96 of 3 June 1996 amending Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 laying down special detailed rules of application for export refunds on milk and milk products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2931/95 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (3) and 17 (14) thereof,
Whereas certain products referred to in Articles 1 (a) and 1 (b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 823/96 (4), are not included in the export refund nomenclature and cannot be referred to by an 11-figure code; whereas such products must therefore be referred to in the licence application and the licence itself by an eight-figure code;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 provides for the possibility of cancelling a licence application where the reduction coefficient is less than 0,8; whereas that figure should be reduced in order to ensure the smooth operation of the export refund arrangements and to reduce the risk of speculative applications for export licences for milk products; whereas, in order to avoid any ambiguity, the term 'reduction coefficient` should be replaced by 'allocation coefficient`;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 is hereby amended as follows:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), and in particular Articles 3, 9d(1) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (2), and in particular Article 25 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition.
(2)
Article 25 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 lays down transitional measures for applications for the authorisation of feed additives submitted in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3)
The application for the authorisation of the additive listed in the Annex to this Regulation was submitted before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(4)
Initial comments on those applications, as provided for in Article 4(4) of Directive 70/524/EEC, were forwarded to the Commission before the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Those applications are therefore to continue to be treated in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 70/524/EEC.
(5)
The use of the enzyme preparation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase EC 3.2.1.8, produced by Bacillus subtilis (LMG S-15136) was provisionally authorised for the first time for pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 261/2003 (3) and turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2188/2002 (4). New data were submitted in support of an application for authorisation without a time limit of that enzyme preparation. The assessment shows that the conditions laid down in Article 3a of Directive 70/524/EEC for such authorisation are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that enzyme preparation, as specified in Annex to this Regulation, should be authorised without a time limit.
(6)
The assessment of this application shows that certain procedures should be required to protect workers from exposure to the additives set out in the Annex. Such protection should be assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (5).
(7)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Article 4 of Regulation No 79/65/EEC defines that the field of survey shall cover the agricultural holdings having an economic size equal to, or greater than, a threshold expressed in European size units (ESU) within the meaning of Annex III to Commission Decision 85/377/EEC of 7 June 1985 establishing a Community typology for agricultural holdings(3), as last amended by Decision 1999/725/EC(4).

(4) In the case of Italy it is advisable to raise the threshold from 2 ESU to 4 ESU but for practical reasons this modification cannot be implemented until the accounting year 2002.
