Council Decision
of 13 May 2003
authorising Germany to apply a measure derogating from Article 17 of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes
(2003/354/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/CEE of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment(1), and in particular Article 27(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal by the Commission(2),
Whereas:
(1) In a letter registered by the Commission's Secretariat-General on 17 December 2002 the German authorities requested authorisation to continue to apply a derogation which had been granted by Article 1 of Council Decision 2000/186/EC(3).
(2) The other Member States were informed of the request on 17 January 2003.
(3) The derogating measure is intended to exclude expenditure on goods and services completely from the right to deduct VAT when the goods and services are used more than 90 % for the private purposes of the taxable person, or of his employees, or for non-business purposes in general. This measure is a derogation from Article 17 of Directive 77/388/EEC, as amended by Article 28f of that Directive and is justified by the need to simplify the procedure for charging VAT; it affects the amount of tax due at the final consumption stage only to a negligible extent.
(4) The authorisation expired on 31 December 2002, although the legal situation and the facts which justified application of the simplification measure in question have not changed and continue to exist.
(5) The duration of the new authorisation should however be limited to 30 June 2004. This maximum period will allow the derogation to be evaluated in the light of the ruling on Case C-17/01, which the Court will probably deliver in the course of 2003.
(6) The derogation will not adversely affect the Communities' own resources from VAT,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
By way of derogation from Article 17(2) of Directive 77/388/EEC Germany is authorised to exclude expenditure on goods and services from the right to deduct VAT when the goods and services in question are used more than 90 % for the private purposes of a taxable person or of his employees, or, more generally, for non-business purposes.
Article 2
This Decision shall apply until 30 June 2004.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2447/81 of 27 July 1981 on the application of Decision No 2/81 of the EEC - Finland Joint Committee amending Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation to take account of the change in the international method of determining "customs value"
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Whereas by virtue of Article 28 of Protocol 3 concerning the definition of the concept of "originating products" and methods of administrative cooperation, which forms an integral part of the above Agreement, the Joint Committee has adopted Decision No 2/81 amending that Protocol to take account of the change in the international method of determining "customs value";
Whereas it is necessary to apply this Decision in the Community,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2070/92 of 30 June 1992 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 laying down general rules for the grant of premiums to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), and in particular Article 5 (8) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Whereas the concepts of 'eligible ewe' and 'eligible she-goat' as laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 872/84 of 31 March 1984 laying down general rules for the granting of premiums to sheepmeat producers and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2643/80 (3), must be redefined because of the monitoring difficulties they entail; whereas, given the administrative difficulties associated with the drawing up of new definitions, Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down general rules for the grant of premiums to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers (4) provides that they will continue to apply to premiums payable in respect of 1991;
Whereas under the measures decided in the context of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2069/92 of 30 June 1992 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 (5), and in particular those relating to the fixing of individual limits for grant of the premium, it will be possible to resolve the said difficulties by applying relatively simple definitions for determining, in a readily verifiable manner, the animals intended for production of sheepmeat;
Whereas in the interests of efficient management the new definitions should not be applied until the start of the 1993 marketing year and the definitions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 872/84 should remain applicable for the 1992 marketing year;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 should therefore be amended,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 is hereby amended as follows:
The following points shall be added to the first paragraph of Article 1:
4. "eligible ewe" means: any female of the ovine species having lambed at least once or aged at least one year;
5. "eligible she-goat" means: any female of the caprine species having kidded at least once or aged at least one year.';
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Article 1
(1) shall apply to premiums paid in respect of the 1993 marketing year and thereafter.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
