COUNCIL DECISION

of 30 May 2011

extending Decision 2010/371/EU concerning the conclusion of the consultation procedure with the Republic of Madagascar pursuant to Article 96 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement

(2011/324/EU)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 217 thereof,

Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1), as last amended in Ouagadougou on 23 June 2010 (2) (‘the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement’), and in particular Article 96 thereof,

Having regard to the Internal Agreement between the representatives of the governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on measures to be taken and procedures to be followed for the implementation of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement (3), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1) The essential elements referred to in Article 9 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement have been violated.

(2) On 6 July 2009, pursuant to Article 96 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, consultations were opened with Madagascar in the presence of representatives of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (‘ACP’) Group of States, during which representatives of the High Transitional Authority failed to present satisfactory proposals or undertakings.

(3) Major efforts have been made in terms of mediation by the Southern African Development Community (‘SADC’) and all the political parties in order to find a solution to the political crisis, in particular the negotiation of a roadmap, proposed by the SADC mediators, charting a consensus-based transition process with a view to holding free, credible elections that would permit a return to constitutional order.

(4) However, 12 months have elapsed and the European Union must now acknowledge that, despite these efforts, the roadmap has not yet been signed by the parties involved or endorsed by the SADC, the African Union or the international community. This makes it impossible, for the moment, to envisage a consensus-based transition for a return to constitutional order, which is essential to amend the appropriate measures in force.

(5) The period of application of Council Decision 2010/371/EU (4) is to expire on 6 June 2011. In the light of the situation described above, it should be extended for 6 months, subject to regular review during this period,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

In Article 3 of Decision 2010/371/EU, the second sentence is replaced by the following:

‘It shall remain in force until 6 December 2011 subject to regular review during this period.’.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

(notified under document C(2011) 4213)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2011/360/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Commission Decision 2008/855/EC of 3 November 2008 concerning animal health control measures relating to classical swine fever in certain Member States (3) lays down certain control measures concerning classical swine fever in the Member States or regions thereof set out in the Annex to that Decision.

(2) Hungary has informed the Commission about the recent developments with regard to that disease in feral pigs in the territory of the county of Heves and in certain areas of the territory of the county of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén.

(3) That information indicates that classical swine fever in feral pigs has been eradicated in the territory of those counties. Accordingly, those areas where the situation improved should be removed from the list in the Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC and the measures provided for in that Decision should no longer apply to them.

(4) Slovakia has informed the Commission about the recent developments with regard to that disease in domestic and feral pigs in the territories listed for that Member State in the Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC.

(5) That information indicates that classical swine fever in domestic and feral pigs has been eradicated in those territories. Accordingly, those areas where the situation improved should be removed from the list in the Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC and the measures provided for in that Decision should no longer apply to the whole territory of Slovakia.

(6) Decision 2008/855/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

(1)

An error has occurred in the adoption of Commission Directive 2010/19/EU of 9 March 2010 amending, for the purposes of adaptation to technical progress in the field of spray-suppression systems of certain categories of motor vehicles and their trailers, Council Directive 91/226/EEC and Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). Directive 2010/19/EU introduced harmonised requirements with regard to spray-suppression for all vehicle categories covered by Council Directive 91/226/EEC (3). Accordingly, Annexes IV and XI to Directive 2007/46/EC were also amended in that Directive for the purposes of adaptation to technical progress. As those Annexes have already been replaced by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1060/2008 of 7 October 2008 replacing Annexes I, III, IV, VI, VII, XI and XV to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (Framework Directive) (4) and amended by several regulations, their subsequent amendments should also have been done by means of a regulation. It is therefore appropriate, in the interest of legal clarity, to correct Directive 2010/19/EU.
