DECISION (EU) 2023/145 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 18 January 2023

repealing Council Directive 89/629/EEC

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 100(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),

Whereas:

(1) The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission have confirmed in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making (3) their joint commitment to update and simplify Union legislation.

(2) Council Directive 89/629/EEC (4) provided that aeroplanes that exceeded the relevant noise emission standards under that Directive could continue to operate, if they had already been entered in a national register of a Member State. However, it applied a no-addition rule: no new registrations of such aeroplanes were possible after that Directive entered into force.

(3) Directive 2006/93/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) introduced a complete phasing-out of all aeroplanes which did not meet the relevant noise emission standards, including those previously covered by Directive 89/629/EEC, regardless of whether they had been registered or not. This led to a situation in which the aeroplanes concerned were no longer allowed to fly in the Union skies and had to be removed from the Member States’ national registers.

(4) Consequently, Directive 89/629/EEC is obsolete and should therefore be repealed,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1 Directive 89/629/EEC is repealed.

Article 2 This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION DECISION 755/76/ECSC of 31 March 1976 on the temporary postponement of the date of the payment of the steel production levy

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular Articles 49 and 50 thereof,

Having consulted the Council,

Whereas Article 4 of Decision 2/52 (1) provides that the levy shall be paid on the twenty-fifth day of each month in respect of the production for the preceding month;

Whereas the exceptionally marked fall in prices and the deterioration of the conditions of sale on the steel market have led to a fall in the receipts of undertakings such as to cause temporary cash-flow difficulties,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Sole Article

By way of derogation from Article 4 (2) of Decision 2/52 of the High Authority of the ECSC, the levy due on steel production during the months of March 1976 to December 1976 shall be payable on the twenty-fifth day of the third month following the month of production. The levy due on production during the months of November and December 1976 shall be payable on the same dates as that on production during the months of January and February 1977, that is on 25 February and 25 March 1977 respectively.

This Decision shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 31 March 1976.

COMMISSION DECISION No 3249/84/ECSC

of 21 November 1984

amending Decision No 3716/83/ECSC establishing a guarantee system for certain steel products and a system for the verification of the minimum prices

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

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

Having regard to Commission Decision No 3716/83/ECSC of 23 December 1983 establishing a guarantee system for certain steel products and a system for the verification of the minimum prices (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

The guarantee system is intended to strengthen the system of monitoring and production quotas and the minimum prices system.

In order to ensure that the steel undertakings fulfil their obligations under these two arrangements, it was provided that they should entrust the requisite verifications to an auditing company or other body authorized to carry out that function.

Experience has shown that the reinforced checks have produced the desired result; nevertheless, since that time, the definition of the powers of verification of officials and agents of the Commission given in Commission Decision No 379/84/ECSC (2) has contributed to an increase in the number and effectiveness of the checks applied.

It is important to ensure that there is no build-up in time of the verification operations and that they should not concentrate on the same matters, as they would thus impair the smooth operation of the departments in the steel undertakings.

In these circumstances, and in order to avoid excessive financial burdens to the undertakings, it is appropriate to restrict the number of checks and to entrust them exclusively to officials and agents of the Commission.

For the abovementioned reasons and in the light of the experience obtained, which has allowed the Commission to make technical amendments to Decision No 3716/83/ECSC, Article 3 of the said Decision should be repealed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Article 3 of Decision No 3716/83/ECSC is hereby repealed.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 1985.

This Decision shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
