Whereas establishments in third countries cannot be authorized to export fresh meat to the Community unless they satisfy the general and special conditions laid down in Directive 72/462/EEC;

Whereas this establishment can, in these circumstances, be included in a list of establishments authorized to export to the Community;

Whereas import of fresh meat from the establishment appearing in the Annex remains subject to provisions laid down elsewhere and to the general provisions of the Treaty; whereas in particular, import from third countries and dispatch to other Member States of certain categories of meat, such as meat containing residues of certain substances, are covered by harmonized Community rules, which are not yet fully implemented;

Whereas the measures provided for this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

COMMISSION DECISION

of 24 March 1987

laying down the model for the public health certificate in respect of meat products from Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay

(87/221/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 77/99/EEC of 21 December 1976 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in meat products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,

Whereas, in accordance with Article 17 of Directive 77/99/EEC, the Commission is to draw up the model for the public health certificate which is to accompany meat products when they are imported into the Community, at the same time as it adopts lists of establishments in third countries approved for the purpose of the importation of those products into the Community;

Whereas the present is to apply pending the implementation of a complete Community regime concerning the importation of meat products from third countries; whereas, therefore, imports of meat products from third countries remain subject to other veterinary rules, especially in relation to animal health, in accordance with the general provisions of the Treaty;

Whereas the present Decision is based upon the existing Community rules and it will therefore be necessary to re-examine it as soon as the aforesaid rules have been supplemented;

Whereas the present Decision is based on on-the-spot inspections made in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay; whereas, in the light of those inspections, it is necessary to take into consideration at the moment only fully heat-treated canned bovine meat and frozen cooked bovine meat which is cooked to a centre temperature of at least 80 oC coming from establishments which are authorized to export to the Community;

Whereas, up to now on-the-spot inspections by veterinary experts of the Member States and of the Commission have been made in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil; whereas the model for the public health certificate has already been drawn up for meat products from Argentina and Uruguay by Commission Decision 86/472/EEC (3); whereas a single model as annexed to this Decision may be adopted for the three countries; whereas Decision 86/472/EEC should therefore be repealed;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The model for the public health certificate which must accompany meat products from Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay is given in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Decision shall be re-examined upon the adoption of any new rules application to third countries in respect of the products concerned.

Article 3

Decision 86/472/EEC is hereby repealed.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 22 March 1988

authorizing Denmark to permit temporarily the marketing of field pea seed not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/401/EEC

(88/248/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 87/480/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,

Having regard to the request submitted by Denmark,

Whereas in Denmark the production of seed of field pea of the early ripening, short growth type, with a low tannin content, satisfying the requirements laid down in Directive 66/401/EEC, was insufficient in 1987 and is not adequate to supply the needs of that country;

Whereas it has not been possible to cover those needs satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;

Whereas Denmark should therefore be authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 May 1988 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;

(a) the germination capacity shall be at least 70 % of pure seed;

(b) the official label shall bear the following endorsements:

COMMISSION DECISION

of 29 April 1988

authorizing the United Kingdom to grant aid to the coal industry during the 1988/89 financial year

(Only the English text is authentic)

(88/294/ECSC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,

Having regard to Commission Decision No 2064/86/ECSC of 30 June 1986 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry (1),

Whereas:

I

By letter of 22 January 1988 the United Kingdom Government informed the Commission, pursuant to Article 9 (2) of Decision No 2064/86/ECSC, of the financial measures it intends to take during 1988/89 in order to give direct or indirect support to the coal industry. The following aid is submitted for the approval of the Commission under the above Decision:

1.2 // // (million £) // - aid for changes of work and place of employment // 14,5

The purpose of aid for changes of work and place of employment is to cover part of the costs to British Coal of restructuring in the coal industry.

This aid is a long-standing specific measure which is independent of the aid pursuant to Articles 3 to 5 of the Decision. The aid therefore conforms to Article 6 of the Decision.

The object of the measure is to facilitate the restructuring of the coal industry and to improve the industry's competitiveness in accordance with the first indent of Article 2 (1) of the Decision.

II

The following observations should be made on the compatibility of the proposed aid to current production with the proper functioning of the common market:

- there are unlikely to be supply difficulties in 1988/89 in view of the high level of coal and coke stocks,

- deliveries of United Kingdom coal to other Community countries are unlikely to rise during 1988/89.

- price alignment agreements with respect to Community producers are unlikely to arise in 1988/89,

- United Kingdom coal prices should not lead to indirect aid to industrial coal users in 1988/89.

Therefore, the aid proposed for current production by the United Kingdom coal industry for the 1988/89 financial year is compatible with the proper functioning of the common market.

III

Pursuant to Article 11 (2) of the Decision, the Commission must ensure that the direct aid to current production which it authorizes is used exclusively for the purposes set out in Articles 3 to 6 thereof. The Commission must therefore be informed of the amounts of the payments and the manner in which they are apportioned.

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The United Kingdom is hereby authorized to grant aid totalling £ 14 500 000 to the coal industry with effect from 1 April 1988 for the 1988/89 financial year, for changes of work and place of employment.

Article 2

The United Kingdom Government shall inform the Commission by 30 June 1989 of the actual amounts paid during the 1988/89 financial year.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom.

Done at Brussels, 29 April 1988.
