COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 269/2009

of 2 April 2009

establishing the standard import values for determining the entry price of certain fruit and vegetables

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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 1580/2007 of 21 December 2007 laying down implementing rules for Council Regulations (EC) No 2200/96, (EC) No 2201/96 and (EC) No 1182/2007 in the fruit and vegetable sector (2), and in particular Article 138(1) thereof,

Whereas:

Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in Annex XV, Part A thereto,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The standard import values referred to in Article 138 of Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 are fixed in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 3 April 2009.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 2 April 2009. For the Commission Jean-Luc DEMARTY Director-General for Agriculture and Rural Development

In line with Part 2 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 25/2009 (ECB/2008/32), deposits placed according to the French regulated housing plan ‘plan d'épargne-logement’ (PEL) are classified as deposits with an agreed maturity of over two years. The government regulates the conditions governing these PELs and fixes the interest rate, which remains unchanged over the entire maturity of the deposit, i.e. each ‘generation’ of PELs has the same interest rate attached to it. PELs are held for at least four years and each year the customer deposits a minimal pre-fixed amount but is allowed to increase the payments at any time during the course of the scheme. Reporting agents report as new business the initial deposit at the opening of a new PEL. The amount of money that is initially placed on the PEL may be very low, which means that the weight attached to the new business rate will also be relatively low. This approach ensures that the new business rate always reflects the conditions governing the current generation of PELs. Changes in the interest rate applied to the new PELs are reflected in the new business rate. The reaction of consumers in terms of a portfolio shift from other long-term deposits to pre-existing PELs is not reflected in the new business rates but only in the rates on outstanding amounts. At the end of the period of four years, the customer may either ask for a loan at a discounted rate or renew the contract. Since this renewal of the PEL is carried out automatically without any active involvement of the customer, and since the terms and conditions of the contract including the interest rate are not renegotiated, in line with paragraph 21 this renewal is not considered as new business. On renewing the contract, the customer is allowed to make additional deposits, provided that the outstanding amount does not exceed a defined ceiling and the contract does not exceed a defined maximum years of maturity. If the ceiling or maximum maturity are reached, the contract is frozen. The household or non-financial corporation keeps the borrowing rights and is still granted interest following the conditions prevailing at the time of opening of the PEL as long as the money is left in the bank's book. The government grants a subsidy in terms of an interest payment on top of the interest rate offered by the credit or other institution. In line with paragraph 6, only that part of the interest payment offered by the credit or other institution is captured in MFI interest rate statistics. The government subsidy, which is paid through but not by the credit or other institution, is ignored.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1) (a) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) For the classification of some products falling within heading 1905 of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, a distinction is to be made between, on the one hand, products of subheading 1905 90 20 and, on the other hand, preparations classified in subheading 1905 90 90.

(2) According to the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 1905, item (B), this heading covers a number of products made of flour or starch pastes, generally baked in the form of discs or sheets.

(3) No definition is given for ‘similar products’ included in subheading 1905 90 20.

(4) Problems have risen with respect to the classification of so called ‘sheets of dough’ as no clear criteria have been defined to distinguish between products of subheadings 1905 90 20 and 1905 90 90.

(5) It is therefore appropriate to add an additional note to Chapter 19 laying down that subheading 1905 90 20 only covers dry and brittle products.

(6) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Chapter 19 of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 the following additional note is added:

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
