THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2), and in particular Article 36(2), second subparagraph, second sentence thereof,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 454/2010
of 26 May 2010
on transitional measures under Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the labelling provisions for feed
(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 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the placing on the market and use of feed (1), and in particular Article 32(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 provides for a complete revision of EU rules concerning the marketing conditions of feed materials and compound feed and its Article 32(4) allows measures in order to facilitate transition to the new rules.
(2)
The rules on labelling laid down by Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 will have to be applied as from 1 September 2010. This would imply an abrupt change and not allow a smooth transition for the feed business operators placing feed on the market. Switching the design and production of labels and the conversion of the existing machinery from one day to the other would be expensive for those businesses. The resulting burden would be disproportionate to the objective of the change. It is therefore appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which feed may be labelled in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 before 1 September 2010.
(3)
As regards feed intended for pet animals, the market consists of a huge number of different products with specific labels. Compared with the current labelling rules for pet food, only Articles 15(f), 17(1)(f) and 19 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 will introduce changes to the labelling of those products, representing only minor changes with no effect on safety. In order to allow a smooth transition for the feed business operators concerned, it is justified to provide for a transitional period of 1 year during which the current labels for pet food may continue to be used after 1 September 2010.
(4)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
By way of derogation from the second paragraph of Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 and without prejudice to Council Directives 79/373/EEC (2), 82/471/EEC (3), 93/74/EEC (4) and 96/25/EC (5), feed labelled in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 may be placed on the market as from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
Article 2
By way of derogation from the second paragraph of Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009, feed intended for pet animals and labelled in accordance with Directive 79/373/EEC and Article 16 of Council Directive 70/524/EEC (6) may be placed on the market until 31 August 2011. After that date, it may remain on the market until stocks are exhausted.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th 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.

Following the transmission of new information and after additional checks, the Commission can now take a decision concerning expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) on the integrality, accuracy and veracity of the accounts submitted by the French paying agency ‘ODARC’.
(3)

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The accounts of the French paying agency ‘ODARC’ concerning expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), in respect of the 2008 financial year, are hereby cleared.

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1)
The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.
(2)
The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.
(3)
The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(4)
Spain submitted an application on 22 March 2010 to mobilise the EGF in respect of redundancies in 143 enterprises operating in NACE Revision 2 Division 13 (manufacture of textiles) in a single NUTS II region, Comunidad Valenciana (ES52) and supplemented it with additional information up to 17 June 2010. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission therefore proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 2 059 466.
(5)
