COUNCIL ESTIMATE

of 21 February 1984

concerning young male bovine animals weighing 300 kilograms or less and intended for fattening for the period 1 January to 31 December 1984

(84/100/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by the 1979 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 13 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

HAS ADOPTED THIS ESTIMATE:

I. INTRODUCTION

Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 provides that, each year before 1 December, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and by qualified majority vote, shall draw up an estimate of the young male bovine animals which may be imported under the system laid down under the said Article. This estimate is to take account both of the forecast supplies of young bovine animals intended for fattening within the Community and of Community breeders' requirements.

Community supplies of young bovine animals

This estimate relates to the period 1 January to 31 December 1984. It has been prepared in the light of information available to the Commission and on the basis of the foreseeable trend for 1984 of supplies of and requirements for young male bovine animals intended for fattening in the Community.

In view of the number of breeding females (cows and heifers) anticipated for 1984 (about 35 740 000), some 31 730 000 births of calves are expected during that year. Production over the year of male calves would therefore be about 15 865 000 head. Of this figure, about 1 100 000 (± 7 %) should be provided for as losses. The net availability of young male bovine animals of Community origin should therefore be about 14 765 000 in 1984.

Community requirements

The number of slaughterings of male calves envisaged for 1984, on the basis of data collected from Member States, should be about 4 330 000 head.

The number of male animals intended for slaughter as fattened young bulls or bulls, or for breeding, should be about 7 015 000 head.

In the light of information provided by Member States and of the above, it is expected that in 1984 the requirements of Community breeders in young male bovine animals for fattening will be 10 555 000 head.

It follows that the Community's overall requirements in male calves will be 14 885 000 head in 1984.

These requirements will only be partly satisfied by Community supplies of these animals which amount to about 14 765 000 head.

II. CONCLUSION

On the basis of the considerations set out above, the estimate for young male bovine animals intended for fattening which may be imported in 1984 under the arrangements provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 is fixed at 190 000 head.

Done at Brussels, 21 February 1984.

Agreement

of 14 September 2000

between the European Central Bank and the national central banks of the Member States outside the euro area amending the Agreement of 1 September 1998 laying down the operating procedures for an exchange rate mechanism in stage III of economic and monetary union

(2000/C 362/10)

THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK (HERINAFTER REFERRED TO AS THE "ECB") AND THE NATIONAL CENTRAL BANKS OF THE MEMBER STATES OUTSIDE THE EURO AREA (HERINAFTER REFERRED TO AS THE "NON-EURO AREA NCBs" AND THE "NON-EURO AREA MEMBER STATES" RESPECTIVELY),

Whereas:

(1) The European Council in its resolution of 16 June 1997 (hereinafter referred to as "the Resolution") agreed to set up an exchange-rate mechanism (hereinafter referred to as "ERM II") when the third stage of economic and monetary union began on 11 January 1999.

(2) Under the terms of the Resolution, ERM II is designed to help to ensure that non-euro area Member States participating in ERM II orient their policies to stability, foster convergence and thereby help them in their efforts to adopt the euro.

(3) The Hellenic Republic, as a Member State with a derogation, has participated from the outset in ERM II. The Bank of Greece is party to the Agreement of 1 September 1998 between the ECB and the non-euro area NCBs laying down the operating procedures for ERM II (hereinafter referred to as the "ERM II Central Bank Agreement").

(4) Council Decision 2000/427/EC of 19 June 2000, on the adoption by Greece of the single currency on 1 January 2001(1), in accordance with Article 122 of the Treaty establishing the European Community, abrogates the derogation of the Hellenic Republic(2). The euro shall be the currency of the Hellenic Republic from 1 January 2001. The Bank of Greece shall no longer be party to the ERM II Central Bank Agreement with effect from that date.

(5) It is therefore necessary to amend the ERM II Central Bank Agreement to take account of the abrogation of the derogation of the Hellenic Republic,

HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

Amendment to ERM II Central Bank Agreement

1.1. The Bank of Greece shall no longer be party to the ERM II Central Bank Agreement with effect from 1 January 2001.

ADDENDUM

to Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 September 2011 on textile fibre names and related labelling and marking of the fibre composition of textile products and repealing Council Directive 73/44/EEC and Directives 96/73/EC and 2008/121/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Official Journal of the European Union L 272 of 18 October 2011)

The following Statement is added to Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011:
COUNCIL RESOLUTION of 21 May 1973 supplementing the Resolution of 28 May 1969 establishing a programme for the elimination of technical obstacles to trade in industrial products, resulting from disparities between laws, regulations or administrative provisions in the Member States

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas the Council Resolution of 28 May 1969 (1) establishing a programme for the elimination of technical obstacles to trade in industrial products, resulting from disparities between laws, regulations or administrative provisions in the Member States made it possible to undertake systematically the necessary work to eliminate technical obstacles to trade in the sectors referred to in the said Resolution;

Whereas in recent years the expansion of intra-Community trade, industrial development in certain sectors, the increasing importance of problems connected with the environment and the protection of human health have revealed the existence of significant technical barriers in a certain number of sectors other than those indicated in the Resolution of 28 May 1969;

Whereas the programme should be supplemented accordingly;

Hereby adopts the following additions to the programme which was the subject of the said Resolution:

DECISION No 81 of 22 February 1973 concerning aggregation of insurance periods completed in a given occupation in application of Article 45 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71

THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ON SOCIAL SECURITY FOR MIGRANT WORKERS;

Having regard to Article 81 (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 under which it is made responsible for dealing with all administrative questions arising from the provisions of Regulations (EEC) Nos 1408/71 and 574/72;

Whereas Decision No 51 published in the Official Journal of the European Communities No 53 of 28 March 1964 has been rendered unvalid by the entry into force of Regulations (EEC) Nos 1408/71 and 574/72, but, taking into account the provisions of the said Regulations, there are grounds for adopting a new decision specifying in which cases investigations must be carried out to ascertain whether the same occupation is involved for the application of Article 45 (2) first sentence of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71;

Whereas Article 45 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 stipulates that in cases where the legislation of one of the Member States makes the award of certain benefits conditional upon the completion of the insurance periods in a specific occupation, the only insurance periods aggregated shall be those completed in the same employment under the legislations of the other Member States;

Whereas whenever the same employment in which insurance periods have been completed under the legislation of another Member State receives special treatment under the legislation of that State and is in consequence defined by that legislation, it is advisable both in the interest of the insured person and of that of the institution undertaking the determination of his entitlement, not to prolong the procedure by investigations about the said employment;

Whereas, for instance, when underground work in a mine is defined by the legislation of one Member State, the insurance periods completed in that work under that legislation must be regarded as insurance periods completed in underground work in a mine in relation to the legislation of other Member States and must be aggregated for eligibility for benefits the award of which is made conditional upon the insurance periods having been completed in such work, without carrying out investigations;

HAS DECIDED:

1. With a view to acceptance for eligibility for benefits the award of which is conditional, under the legislation of a Member State, on the insurance periods having been completed in a specific employment, insurance periods completed in the same employment under the legislation of another Member State shall be aggregated as determined according to the legislation of that State. Investigations shall be carried out only when the said employment is not defined by that legislation.

2.This Decision shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall apply to the six Founder Member States as from 1 October 1972 and, in accordance with the Treaty of Accession, as from 1 April 1973 to the three new Member States.

COUNCIL RESOLUTION of 4 June 1974 concerning the supply of enriched uranium of the Community

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 1. having noted the report prepared by the Standing Committee on Uranium Enrichment set up at its meeting of 22 May 1973 and the communication from the Commission of 29 November 1973, has held an extensive exchange of views on the situation of the Community as regards the supply of enriched uranium;

2. as stated in its resolution of 22 May 1973, considers that it is necessary for industry within the Community to acquire a uranium enrichment capacity enabling it to cover, as from the beginning of the next decade, at least a substantial and growing part of the Community's requirements and that it should be the task of the firms to determine, in the light of economic and commercial factors, the actual level of the capacities to be achieved;

3. to contribute to the attainment of this objective and in accordance with the wish expressed by the Heads of State and of Government at their meeting in Copenhagen; (a) notes with satisfaction: - that the developers of ultra-centrifuging and gas diffusion in Europe have decided to enter into the construction phase of their projects,

- that they have expressed their intention to hold exchanges of views on their respective projects,

- that European users have already decided or stated their intention to make use of the European enrichment industries to cover a part of their requirements for enriched uranium;

(b) recommends: (i) that the exchanges of views between producers continue with a view to concerted, harmonious development of the existing projects as long as the situation requires.

Without prejudice to the producers' freedom of choice, these talks should deal with: - the construction of their uranium enrichment facilities,

- the operation of these facilities,

- the possibilities of setting up a scheme for reciprocal support to act as a mutual guarantee in the event of technical failure;

(ii) that European users: - given equal economic and commercial conditions, place their orders preferably with the European uranium-enrichment firms,

- seek to coordinate the building up and use made of security stocks;

(c) stresses the paramount importance of uranium-enrichment projects for the development of the nuclear industry in the Community and, with this in mind and as a result of action taken on the above recommendation, agrees to examine the applications it receives for the granting of Joint Undertaking status and the advantages provided for in Annex III to the Treaty, to undertakings concerned with the production of enriched uranium and their joint organs set up to achieve the coordination recommended by the Council;

(d) notes that the Commission will keep it regularly informed of the nuclear fuel supply situation, will take all necessary measures in agreement with the Council and will make all appropriate proposals to further the implementation of this resolution.
COUNCIL RESOLUTION of 21 December 1976 concerning access to Community public supply contracts for products originating in non-member countries

THE COUNCIL,

Whereas the aim of Council Directive 77/62/EEC of 21 December 1976 coordinating procedures for the award of public supply contracts (1) is to enable suppliers throughout the Community to compete for such contracts on equal terms, thereby creating a degree of market transparency which will improve the functioning of the common market in this sector and will, in particular, contribute to observance of the ban on restrictions of the free movement of goods;

Whereas the implementation of this Directive increases the need for the Community to determine the conditions under which public supply contracts awarded by Member States may be open to products originating in non-member countries;

Whereas these conditions must, in particular, safeguard the interests of Member State producers by enabling them to participate in public contracts awarded by the various non-member countries;

Whereas, in this connection, the Community must aim at achieving a satisfactory degree of reciprocity during the negotiations in which it is participating within the GATT and the OECD and must, under the most favourable conditions, use all suitable means of ensuring that this objective is attained; 1. notes that the Member States may continue to apply, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty, existing commercial policy measures in respect of public supply contracts concerning certain products and categories of products originating in non-member countries;

2. notes the possibility referred to by the Commission of taking the necessary protective measures, under Article 115 of the Treaty, to ensure that the implementation of such provisions is not obstructed by deflection of trade;

(1) OJ No L 13, 15.1.1977, p. 1. 3. considers it necessary in the first place to obtain balanced concessions in the areas in question in the negotiations taking place currently within the OECD and due to take place later within the GATT ; with this aim, invites the Commission to submit to it new proposals based on Article 113 of the Treaty;

4. agrees, independently of the results of the negotiations, to promote, on a proposal from the Commission, the coordination and progressive standardization of the policies referred to under 1 above.
