amending Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 laying down measures for the implementation of the common basic standards on aviation security

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council of 16 December 2002 establishing common rules in the field of civil aviation security (1), and in particular Article 4(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The Commission is required, by virtue of Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002, when necessary, to adopt measures for the implementation of common basic standards for aviation security throughout the Community. Commission Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 of 4 April 2003 laying down measures for the implementation of the common basic standards on aviation security (2) was the first act laying down such measures.

(2) The measures provided for by Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 on restricting liquids carried by passengers arriving on flights from third countries and transferring at Community airports are subject to review in the light of technical developments, operational implications at airports and the impact on passengers.

(3) Such a review has shown that the restrictions on liquids carried by passengers arriving on flights from third countries and transferring at Community airports create certain operational difficulties at these airports and cause inconvenience to the passengers concerned.

(4) In particular, the Commission has verified certain security standards at an airport in a third country and found them satisfactory, and that country has a good record of cooperation with the Community and its Member States. On that basis the Commission has decided to take steps to alleviate the problems identified above, in the case of passengers carrying liquids obtained at that airport.

(5) Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 should be amended accordingly.

(6) The measures contained in the present Regulation are not included among those which, according to Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002, shall be secret and not published.

(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Civil Aviation Security,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 3 of that Regulation shall not apply as regards the confidential nature of this Annex.

of 19 December 2007

amending Annex III to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 as regards the derogation relating to the separation of organic and non-organic feed production lines

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (1) and in particular the second indent of Article 13 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The second paragraph of point 3 of Part E of Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 provides for a derogation from the obligation for all equipment used in units preparing compound feedingstuffs covered by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 to be completely separated from equipment used for preparing compound feedingstuffs not covered by that Regulation. This derogation expires on 31 December 2007.

(2) Experience shows that this derogation is broadly applied by the operators. The use of the same production line for organic and non-organic feedingstuffs production separated in time requires the application of appropriate cleaning measures to guarantee the integrity of organic feedingstuffs production. Evidence has been provided that such measures, when rigorously applied under strict control, can be effective.

(3) Article 18 of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (2) provides for the production of processed organic feed to be separated from production of processed non-organic feed either in time or space.

(4) It is therefore appropriate to prolong the derogation until Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 enters into application from 1 January 2009.

(5) Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Part E of Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, in the second paragraph of point 3 the date ‘31 December 2007’ is replaced by the date ‘31 December 2008’:

1.

In Chapter II the following Articles 4a and 4b are added: ‘Article 4a Export refund for certain sugars used in certain products processed from fruit and vegetables 1. In accordance with Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, an export refund may be granted in respect of white sugar and raw sugar falling within CN code 1701, isoglucose falling within CN codes 1702 40 10, 1702 60 10 and 1702 90 30 and beet syrup and cane syrup falling within CN code 1702 90 95 used for the manufacture of the products of the processed fruit and vegetables sector referred to in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006. 2. The amount of the refund shall equal the amount of the periodic export refund as fixed on the sugar products referred to in paragraph 1 exported without further processing. 3. In order to benefit from the refund, processed products shall be accompanied, upon export, by a declaration from the applicant stating the quantities of raw and white sugar and beet and cane syrups and isoglucose used for the manufacture. Member States shall check the accuracy of the declaration on a sample of at least 5 % selected on the basis of a risk analysis. Such checks shall be carried out on the stock records kept by the manufacturer. 4. The refund shall be paid upon submission of proof that: (a) the products have been exported from the Community, and (b) in the case of a differentiated refund, the products have reached the destination indicated on the licence or another destination for which the refund was fixed. Article 4b Derogations from Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 1. By way of derogation from Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, where the differentiation of the refund is the result solely of a refund not having been fixed for Switzerland or Liechtenstein, proof that the customs import formalities have been completed shall not be a condition for payment of the refund in respect of the sugar products referred to in Article 4a(1) used for the manufacture of the products processed from fruit and vegetables referred to in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 and listed in Tables I and II to Protocol 2 to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation of 22 July 1972. 2. The fact that no export refund has been fixed in respect of the export to Switzerland or Liechtenstein of the sugar products referred to in Article 4a(1) used for the manufacture of the products processed from fruit and vegetables referred to in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 and listed in Tables I and II to Protocol 2 to the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation of 22 July 1972, shall not be taken into account in determining the lowest rate of refund within the meaning of Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999.’
