COMMISSION DECISION of 7 July 1994 asking the Hellenic Republic to postpone the adoption of its draft regulation on the labelling of foodstuffs containing sweeteners (Only the Greek text is authentic) (94/460/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 93/102/EEC (2), and in particular Articles 16 and 17 thereof,

Whereas, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16 of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Greek authorities notified the Commission of their intention to adopt a draft technical regulation relating to the labelling of foodstuffs containing sweeteners;

Whereas the draft regulation introduces compulsory indications on the labelling of foodstuffs containing sweeteners, informing the consumer of the presence of these substances in the foodstuff and warning of possible laxative effects of certain sweeteners;

Whereas the value of such information must be recognized, though a unilateral measure applied by Greece would inevitably hamper intra-Community trade;

Whereas this fact has led the Commission to deliver a negative opinion in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC;

Whereas the most satisfactory solution to the problem raised by the draft Greek regulation would be to adopt a Community provision on labelling;

Whereas, moreover, the Council's common position on the proposal for a Directive on sweeteners gives the Commission a mandate to adopt such measures;

Whereas any national initiative in this area should therefore be postponed for an appropriate period;

Whereas the measures laid down in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Hellenic Republic is required to postpone for 12 months following the notification of this Decision the adoption of its draft regulation on labelling rules for foodstuffs containing sweeteners.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic.

Whereas Commission Decision 94/70/EC (2) establishes a list of third countries from which Member States authorize imports of raw milk, heat-treated milk and milk-based products;

Whereas following the receipt of additional information from the Israeli authorities it is appropriate to review the position of this third country on the afore-mentioned list;

Whereas Commission Decision 94/654/EC (3) lays down the forecast supply balance for 1994; whereas on 10 September 1994, certain Community production regions and ACP States were victims of hurricane 'Debbie'; whereas, on the basis of an examination of the situation and a reliable estimate of the consequences of hurricane 'Debbie' for the production and availability of bananas from those regions for the Community market until at least the end of 1994, the forecast supply balance for 1994 should be adjusted;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), as last amended by Directive 94/13/EC (2), and in particular Article 14 (1) thereof,

Whereas, under the provisions of Directive 77/93/EEC, plants of Chamaecyparis Spach, Juniperus L. and Pinus L., other than fruit and seeds, originating in non-European countries, may in principle not be introduced into the Community;

Whereas Commission Decision 93/452/EEC (3) permits derogations for plants of Chamaecyparis Spach., Juniperus L. and Pinus L. respectively, originating in Japan for a given period, provided that certain improved technical conditions are satisfied;

Whereas Decision 93/452/EEC stipulated that the authorization should apply until 31 December 1994 in the case of Pinus and Chamaecyparis plants, and until 31 March 1994 in the case of Juniperus plants;

Whereas there is no new information giving cause for revision of the technical conditions;

Whereas the circumstances justifying the authorization still obtain;

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

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 92 and 93 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Decision 94/118/EEC of 21 December 1993, concerning aid to be provided by the Irish Government to the Aer Lingus group, an undertaking mainly providing air transport services (1), and in particular Article 1 (h) thereof,

Whereas, during September 1994, by agreement between the Commission and Ireland, independent assessors were appointed to review actual and prospective performance for 1994 and prospective performance for 1995 on the routes between Ireland and the United Kingdom and London-Heathrow and Dublin;

Whereas on the basis of the forecast growth figures, the revised capacity restrictions, using the actual figures for the calendar year 1993 as a base, are the following:

"" ID="1">DUB-LHR> ID="2">1 397 325> ID="3">1 451 821> ID="4">1 621 684"> ID="1">IRL-UK> ID="2">3 214 010> ID="3">3 570 765> ID="4">3 845 714">

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The seat capacity restrictions imposed on Aer Lingus by Decision 94/118/EC 21 December 1993 in State aid No C 34/93, for the routes between Ireland and the United Kingdom and Dublin and London-Heathrow, are adjusted according to Article 1 (h) of the Decision to reflect the corresponding market growth in 1994 and 1995, as follows:

COMMISSION DECISION of 30 November 1994 amending Decision 92/491/EEC on the clearance of the accounts presented by Italy in respect of the expenditure for 1989 of the EAGGF, Guarantee Section (Only the Italian text is authentic) (94/1076/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2048/88 (2), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,

After consulting the Fund Committee,

Whereas, by Commission Decision 92/491/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 93/524/EEC (4), an amount relating to the additional levy totalling Lit 174 266 472 000 for Italy, which should have been paid in the milk and milk products sector, was disallowed; whereas the said amount was charged to Italy under the Decision in question; whereas the information available to the Commission at the time did not enable it to calculate exactly the aforementioned disallowed sum; whereas it reserved the option of amending the disallowed sum under a subsequent clearance of accounts decision;

Whereas, in their joint conclusions of 21 October 1994, the Commission and the Council agreed that the proceedings pending before the European Court of Justice relating to that clearance decision should be withdrawn; whereas the Commission will revise those clearance decisions for 1989 which the Court of Justice has been asked to annul in such a way that the financial correction for the State concerned will be based on the guaranteed quantity allocated at the time and on the most reliable statistical data; whereas the additional costs to be borne by Italy resulting from the increase in the financial correction for 1989 should be recovered in four equal annual instalments from 1995 until the end of 1998;

Whereas the amount of the correction thus established is unlikely to change, with the result that that correction becomes definitive;

Whereas the Annex to Decision 92/491/EEC should therefore be amended in respect of Italy,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION

Article 1

The part of the Annex to Decision 92/491/EEC relating to Italy is replaced by the Annex hereto.

Article 2

The amount of Lit 426 342 873 600 payable by Italia shall be taken into account as part of the expenditure referred to in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2776/88 (5) in accordance with the following timetable:

- first fortnight of October 1995: Lit 106 585 718 350,

- first fortnight of October 1996: Lit 106 585 718 350,

- first fortnight of October 1997: Lit 106 585 718 350,

- first fortnight of October 1998: Lit 106 585 718 350.
