COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION No 2797/80/ECSC of 31 October 1980 on Community monitoring at importers of import and resale prices in respect of the importation of certain iron and steel products covered by the ECSC Treaty and originating in non-member countries

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 86 thereof,

Whereas the Commission has, by Decision No 2794/80/ECSC (1), established a system of production quotas including provisions for monitoring these quotas and for sanctions for breaches of the Decision;

Whereas these measures should be accompanied by measures ensuring more efficient monitoring than heretofore of import prices of ECSC iron and steel products;

Whereas Commission recommendation No 587/80/ECSC of 7 March 1980 (2) provides inter alia for Community monitoring at the frontier of the terms of imports of certain iron and steel products from non-member countries into the Community;

Whereas in order to ensure fulfilment of the obligations resulting from recommendation No 587/80/ECSC and to facilitate the performance of the Community's tasks, the Member States should take all appropriate measures in conformity with Article 86 of the ECSC Treaty;

Whereas a small and diminishing number of cases of price undercutting have recently been revealed by examination at frontier of the prices of imports ; whereas such price undercuttings as have been revealed have not been very significant ; whereas this does not correspond to the general weakening of prices on the Community market ; whereas it is therefore to be doubted if these at-frontier examinations of import prices are revealing the complete picture;

Whereas, accordingly, it is advisable to obtain further information by means of selective inspections of the records kept by importers, of prices paid and, where relevant, prices charged for the further sale of the goods in question, in order to see if the information obtained from these various sources is consistent,

HAS ADOPTED THIS RECOMMENDATION:

Article 1

Member States shall take the steps required to satisfy themselves, where it appears necessary, that the information received in application of recommendation No 587/80/ECSC tallies with the information received from their inspections of the records kept by importers concerning in particular the price paid for the goods in question and, where applicable, the price charged for the further sale of the goods not being further worked.

The Member States shall regularly inform the Commission of the measures taken and their results.

Article 2

This recommendation is addressed to the Member States.

It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1981.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Article 74 thereof,

Whereas by recommendation No 1399/82/ECSC (1) the Commission instituted a Community monitoring system in respect of imports into the Community of certain iron and steel products covered by the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community;

Whereas the reasons which originally led the Commission to introduce these measures, namely the need to ensure fuller information on both expected imports and the terms under which they are made, continue to apply;

Whereas it is therefore necessary to prolong the said Community monitoring system,

HAS ADOPTED THIS RECOMMENDATION:

of 4 September 2015

amending Guideline ECB/2014/9 on domestic asset and liability management operations by the national central banks (ECB/2015/28)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular to the first indent of Article 127(2) thereof,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Articles 12.1 and 14.3 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Guideline ECB/2014/9 of the European Central Bank (1) specifies the general principles to be followed by the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘NCBs’) when carrying out domestic operations in assets and liabilities on their own initiative.

(2) The Eurepo index was identified in Article 2(e) of Guideline ECB/2014/9 as the secured market rate with regard to fixed term deposits in domestic currency. The Eurepo index was discontinued on 2 January 2015.

GUIDELINE (EU) 2020/496 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 19 March 2020

amending Guideline (EU) 2019/1265 on the euro short-term rate (€STR) (ECB/2020/15)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and in particular Article 127(2) and (5) thereof,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 12.1 and 14.3 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Article 5(2) of Guideline (EU) 2019/1265 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2019/19) (1) provides that national central banks (NCBs) having one or more reporting agents resident in their Member State are required to carry out the euro short-term rate determination process and post-production procedures in accordance with the business procedures referred to in Article 6(3) of that Guideline. In the interests of the efficient allocation of resources, it is, however, appropriate that the ECB should carry out those tasks on behalf of NCBs which have only one reporting agent resident in their Member State and do not operate a local collection platform.

(2) To enhance the user-friendliness of the complaints procedure set out in Article 11 of Guideline (EU) 2019/1265 (ECB/2019/19), the possibility for electronic submission of complaints should be introduced.

If the ECB carries out such tasks on behalf of an NCB, the ECB shall follow the business procedures referred to in Article 6(3).’; 2. In Article 11, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following: ‘1. Any person may submit to the ECB a written complaint about any aspect of the euro short-term rate determination process that they reasonably consider has significantly affected their interests. The complaint may be submitted either by post to European Central Bank, 60640 Frankfurt am Main, Germany, or electronically to euroshorttermrate_complaints@ecb.europa.eu.’.

Article 2 Taking effect This Guideline shall take effect on the day of its notification to the national central banks of the Member States whose currency is the euro.

(6)

The Governing Council further decided to continue to allow NCBs to accept as eligible collateral marketable debt securities issued by the central government of the Hellenic Republic that do not satisfy the Eurosystem’s credit quality requirements but fulfil all other eligibility criteria applicable to marketable assets, for at least as long as reinvestments in these securities under the pandemic emergency purchase programme (PEPP) (3) continue, subject to a specific haircut schedule. This measure will be temporary and is based on the following additional considerations: (a) the need to continue to prevent fragmentation in the access to Eurosystem monetary policy operations which would impair the proper functioning of the monetary policy transmission mechanism to the Greek economy while it is still recovering from the fallout from the pandemic; (b) the commitments undertaken by the Hellenic Republic in the context of the enhanced surveillance under Regulation (EU) No 472/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and the monitoring of the implementation thereof by Union institutions; (c) the fact that medium-term debt relief measures for the Hellenic Republic delivered via the European Financial Stability Facility and the European Stability Mechanism depend on the continued implementation of these commitments; (d) the information available to the ECB regarding the economic and financial situation of the Hellenic Republic as a result of the involvement of the ECB in the enhanced surveillance framework; (e) the fact that even after the end of the enhanced surveillance: (i) the economic, fiscal and financial situation of the Hellenic Republic will be regularly reviewed in the context of post-programme surveillance under Article 14 of Regulation (EU) No 472/2013 and the quarterly early warning system of the European Stability Mechanism, (ii) the debt relief measures for the Hellenic Republic will continue to be linked to that post-programme surveillance, and (iii) planned disbursements to the Hellenic Republic in the context of the Recovery and Resilience Facility under Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) are subject to the successful completion of the agreed milestones and targets in accordance with Article 24 of that Regulation; (f) the regular sovereign debt sustainability assessments that will be conducted by the European Stability Mechanism, the European Commission and the ECB; (g) the fact that the ECB will continue to have access to information on the economic and financial situation of the Hellenic Republic even after the end of the enhanced surveillance, via the mechanisms described under points (e)(i) and (e)(iii) above.
COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 5 December 1975 to the Member States concerning the taxation of wine (76/2/EEC)

Certain Member States have high excise duties on wine.

Moreover it has come to the Commission's knowledge that certain Member States are intending to introduce, or have recently introduced, a substantial increase in the rate of these excise duties.

It is clear that, in the present situation in the wine sector, high excise duties and, even more so, any increase in these duties, have harmful repercussions on the marketing of wines in the Community.

Pending the adoption by the Council of the proposal from the Commission for a Directive introducing harmonized excise duties on wine at a minimum level of one unit of account per hectolitre, Member States retain the right to modify the rate of the excise duties which they apply on wines.

In the light of the foregoing, and pursuant to Article 155 of the Treaty establishing the EEC, the Commission recommends that the Member States concerned should: 1. reduce appreciably the rate of excise duties levied by them on products falling within subheadings 22.05 C I and II of the Common Customs Tariff;

2. forgo any planned or recently introduced increase in the rate of these excise duties;

3. inform the Commission of the measures taken pursuant to this recommendation.

COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION of 18 December 1978 concerning nationals of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg who hold a diploma in veterinary medicine conferred in a third country (78/1029/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Approving Directive 78/1026/EEC concerning the mutual recognition of diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications in veterinary medicine, including measures to facilitate the effective exercise of the right of establishment and freedom to provide services (1),

Noting that this Directive refers only to diplomas, certificates and evidence of formal qualifications conferred in a Member State,

Anxious, however, to take account of the special position of nationals of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg who, since there is no complete university training in the Grand Duchy itself, have studied in a third country,

Hereby recommends that the Governments of the other Member States should allow nationals of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg who hold a final diploma of studies in veterinary medicine conferred in a third country and recognized under the Luxembourg law of 18 June 1969, to take up and pursue activities as self-employed veterinary surgeons within the Community, by recognizing these diplomas in their territories.

Having regard to the draft from the Commission,

Whereas it is in the interest of the Community that all the Member States should ratify this Convention,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS THAT MEMBER STATES: - ratify the International Convention for Safe Containers, or accede thereto before 1 July 1980, where they have not already done so,

- inform the Secretary-General of the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization in writing that their ratification or accession has had regard to this recommendation.
