COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 24 February 1989 on the rules to be followed for inspections carried out in fresh meat establishments approved for the purposes of intra-Community trade (89/214/EEC)

Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat(1), as last amended by Directive 88/288/EEC(2), is designed, in particular, to establish uniform health protection arrangements for meat in establishments handling fresh meat.

In accordance with Article 9 of the Directive, as amended, Commission veterinary experts must inspect facilities and check whether the requirements of the Directive, notably those of Annex I, are complied with, in order to ensure uniform application of its provisions.

Pursuant to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon the importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries(3), as last amended by Directive 88/289/EEC(4), and in particular Article 4 thereof, for the purposes of decoding whether establishments located in third countries may be listed as establishments from which the Member States are authorized to import fresh meat, the main consideration must be compliance with the provisions of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC.

Detailed interpretation of these technical rules drawn up in collaboration with Member States, are of definite value.

The Commissions' veterinary experts will use this interpretation including any future amendments when

inspecting approved establishments in Member States and in third countries.

Such an interpretation entails, through a more specific definition of the terms of the Directive, very rigorous production conditions. Firms in this sector have already been required to invest heavily in major technical changes because of keener competition within the Community and strict rules governing general health matters, consumer and animal protection.

In a sector which has become very sensitive, and given the prospect of adoption of the code provided for in Article

9 (1) of Directive 64/433/EEC, as amended, it will suffice for the time being to invite those working in the field in the private sector and the national authorities to follow the general line of conduct drawn up by the Commission.

For these reasons, pursuant to Article 155 of the Treaty, the Commission recommends that, where fresh meat establishments the production of which may be involved in intra-Community trade are seeking approval, the interpretation of the rules derived from Directive 64/433/EEC, and in particular Annex I thereto, set out in the Annex to this recommendation should be followed.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 31 January 1991 concerning coal statistics (91/141/ECSC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 47 thereof,

Whereas statistics on coal are essential if the obligations imposed on the Community under Article 3 of the ECSC Treaty are to be complied with;

Whereas this is particularly true given the importance of coal for the Community's energy supplies and in the light of energy market trends in anticipation of the single market in the Community after 1992;

Whereas management of the coal sector depends increasingly on the early availability of full and reliable information on imports, exports and deliveries of solid fuels,

HAS ADOPTED THIS RECOMMENDATION:

Article 1

The Member States shall supply the Commission, with effect from January 1991, with the statistical information specified in the questionnaires annexed to this recommendation under the conditions laid out therein.

Article 2

This recommendation shall take effect on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This recommendation is addressed to the Member States.

adapting Recommendation 2000/473/Euratom on the application of Article 36 of the Euratom Treaty concerning the monitoring of the levels of radioactivity in the environment for the purpose of assessing the exposure of the population as a whole, by reason of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania

(notified under document number C(2006) 4931)

(2006/715/Euratom)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 56 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Pursuant to Article 56 of the Act of Accession, where acts which remain valid beyond 1 January 2007 require adaptation by reason of accession, and the necessary adaptations have not been provided for in the Act of Accession or its Annexes, the necessary adaptations are to be adopted by the Commission in all cases where the Commission adopted the original act.

(2) The Final Act of the Conference which drew up the Treaty of Accession indicated that the High Contracting Parties had reached political agreement on a set of adaptations to acts adopted by the Institutions required by reason of accession and invited the Council and the Commission to adopt these adaptations before accession, completed and updated where necessary to take account of the evolution of the law of the Union.

(3) Commission Recommendation 2000/473/Euratom of 8 June 2000 on the application of Article 36 of the Euratom Treaty concerning the monitoring of the levels of radioactivity in the environment for the purpose of assessing the exposure of the population as a whole (1) should therefore be amended accordingly,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

Only part of the material held by libraries, archives and museums is in the public domain, in the sense that it is not or is no longer covered by intellectual property rights, while the rest is protected by intellectual property rights. Since intellectual property rights are a key tool to stimulate creativity, Europe's cultural material should be digitised, made available and preserved in full respect of copyright and related rights. Particularly relevant in this context are Articles 5(2)c, 5(3)n, and 5(5), as well as recital 40 of Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society (3). Licensing mechanisms in areas such as orphan works — that is to say, copyrighted works whose owners are difficult or even impossible to locate — and works that are out of print or distribution (audiovisual) can facilitate rights clearance and consequently digitisation efforts and subsequent online accessibility. Such mechanisms should therefore be encouraged in close cooperation with rightholders.
