(2004/412/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 93/24/EEC of 1 June 1993 on the statistical surveys to be carried out on bovine animal production (1), and in particular Article 1(2) and (3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Title I of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) establishes a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals.

(2) Commission Decision 1999/571/EC recognises the fully operational character of the Austrian database for bovine animals (3).

(3) Pursuant to Directive 93/24/EEC the Member States may, at their request, be authorised to use administrative statistical sources instead of surveys of bovine animals on condition that they satisfy the obligations arising out of that Directive.

(4) In support of its request of 12 June 2003, Austria has submitted technical documentation as to the structure and the updating of the database referred to in Title I of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 and the methods of calculating the statistical data.

(5) Austria has previously been authorised, by Commission Decision 2000/554/EC (4), to make use of the register of bovine animals to partially replace surveys of bovine livestock; however, that authorisation expired on 31 December 2003.

(6) Following examination of the request based on the technical documentation provided by the Austrian authorities, the request should be met.

(7) This Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics set up by Council Decision 72/279/EEC (5),

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Austria is authorised to replace the surveys of bovine animals provided for by Directive 93/24/EEC by using the system for the identification and registration of bovine animals as referred to in Title I of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 to obtain all the statistical data required to comply with the obligations arising out of that Directive.

Article 2

If the system referred to in Article 1 ceases to be operational or if its content no longer makes it possible to obtain reliable statistical information regarding all or certain categories of bovine animals, Austria shall return to a statistical survey system for the purpose of estimating the cattle population or the relevant categories.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Austria.
(7)

Certain pesticide formulations, in the form of dustable powder formulations containing a combination of benomyl at or above 7 %, carbofuran at or above 10 % and thiram at or above 15 %, have also been added to the interim PIC procedure. The Commission has received information from the interim secretariat in the form of a decision guidance document. The chemicals benomyl, carbofuran and thiram fall within the scope of Directive 91/414/EEC. By Commission Decision 2002/928/EC of 26 November 2002 concerning the non-inclusion of benomyl in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing this active substance (8), benomyl has been excluded from Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and authorisations for plant protection products containing it had to be withdrawn by 25 May 2003. Carbofuran is currently subject to an ongoing assessment within the framework of Directive 91/414/EEC. That Directive provides for a transitional period during which Member States are allowed to take national decisions on substances and products falling with its scope pending a Community decision. By Commission Directive 2003/81/EC of 5 September 2003 amending Directive 91/414/EEC to include molinate, thiram and ziram as active substances (9), thiram has been included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and is authorised for use in plant protection products subject to certain conditions. Thiram has also been notified under Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (10), which provides for a transitional period during which Member States may, pending a Community decision, take a decision on substances and products falling within its scope. Consequently, an interim import decision should be taken for dustable powder formulations containing a combination of benomyl, carbofuran and thiram at or above the specified concentrations.
