amending Regulation (EC) No 1055/2008 implementing Regulation (EC) No 184/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council, as regards quality criteria and quality reporting for balance of payments statistics

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 184/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 January 2005 on Community statistics concerning balance of payments, international trade in services and foreign direct investment (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EC) No 184/2005 establishes a common framework for the systematic production of Community statistics concerning balance of payments, international trade in services and foreign direct investment.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1055/2008 (2) laid down the common quality criteria and the periodicity of quality reports for balance-of-payments statistics.

(3) The common quality criteria and the periodicity of the quality reports for balance-of-payments statistics need to be adapted, in order to reflect the quality criteria laid down in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) on European statistics.

(4) Regulation (EC) No 1055/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)

No evidence has been presented which would allow the Commission to conclude that having regard to the fair and traditional usage and the actual likelihood of confusion, registration of the name ‘Jihočeská Zlatá Niva’ as a protected geographical indication would run counter to the provisions laid down in Article 7. According to the evidence presented to the Commission, the term ‘Niva’ was used in a generic way for a type of cheese, within the Czech and Slovak Republic, since tens of years. Moreover, registration of the said name as a protected geographical indication would not require the cancellation or invalidation of the trade marks, since they were applied for prior to the date of submission of the registration application to the Commission, nor hinder continued use of the same. Furthermore, according to the information available to the Commission, the exclusive right of the proprietor of the said trade marks would not entitle him to prohibit a third party from using, in the course of trade and in accordance with honest practices in industrial or commercial matters, an indication concerning geographical origin pursuant to Article 6 of Directive 2008/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008 to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade (3).

For the 2010/2011 marketing year Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 397/2010 of 7 May 2010 fixing the quantitative limit for exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2010/2011 marketing year (3) fixed the quantitative limit at 650 000 tonnes for white sugar falling within CN code 1701 99, i.e. for 6-digit code. In the case where demand is strong for the export licences and the annual quantitative limit is rapidly used, operators who export white sugar under different CN codes might not be able to obtain sufficient licences to cover their traditional markets. In order to improve the flexibility of the out-of-quota regime it is appropriate to allow that export licences issued for a white sugar product falling within CN code 1701 99 can also be used for the exports of a different white sugar product falling within the same CN code.
