amending Regulation (EC) No 243/2007 as regards the minimum content of the feed additive in feed for pigs for fattening
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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 (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
By Commission Regulation (EC) No 243/2007 (2) the enzyme preparation 3-phytase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 101.672) was authorised as a feed additive belonging to the category of zootechnical additives for 10 years for use for weaned piglets, pigs for fattening and chickens for fattening.
(2)
In accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, BASF SE, the holder of the authorisation of that enzyme preparation, has submitted an application with which it requests changing the conditions of the authorisation for pigs for fattening by lowering the minimum content of the additive in feed. That application was accompanied by the relevant data supporting the request for the change.
(3)
The Authority concluded in its opinion of 7 July 2009 that there is sufficient evidence to support the efficacy of the enzyme preparation 3-phytase produced by Aspergillus niger (CBS 101.672) in pigs for fattening at the lower minimum content of 100 FTU per kilogram of complete feedingstuff (3).
(4)
Regulation (EC) No 243/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Commission Regulation (EC) No 512/2002
of 21 March 2002
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 22 March 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 21 March 2002.
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1256/97 of 25 June 1997 amending Regulation No 79/65/EEC setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operations of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Regulation No 79/65/EEC of the Council of 15 June 1965 setting up a network for the collection of accountancy data on the incomes and business operations of agricultural holdings in the European Economic Community (3), lays down certain restrictions on the use of accountancy data from agricultural holdings and other individual details obtained in implementation of that Regulation; whereas, given the risk that information supplied by a farmer could be used for purposes other than those provided for in the above Regulation, the prohibition on any unauthorized use of such information should be reinforced; whereas, therefore, the Regulation in question should be amended,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Article 15 (1) of Regulation No 79/65/EEC is hereby replaced by the following:
'1. It shall be prohibited to use for taxation purposes any individual accountancy data or other individual details obtained in implementation of this Regulation, or to divulge or use such data for purposes other than those specified in Article 1.`
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
