List of international control and supervisory agencies (hereafter referred to as ‘supervisory agencies’) approved by the Member States under Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 612/2009

(This list replaces the list published in the Official Journal of the European Union C 312 of 25 October 2011, p. 5)

2012/C 368/07

1. GENERAL

Under Article 17(1)(b) and (2)(c) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 (1), supervisory agencies approved by the Member States are authorised to issue certificates certifying the unloading and importation of agricultural products qualifying for export refunds in third countries or, at least, their arrival at destination in third countries.

Furthermore, supervisory agencies approved and controlled by a Member State in accordance with Articles 18 to 23 of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 or an official agency of the Member State shall be responsible for carrying out checks provided for in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 817/2010 (granting requirements of export refunds related to the welfare of live bovine animals during transport).

The Member States are responsible for approving and monitoring these supervisory agencies.

Approval of a supervisory agency by one Member State is valid in all Member States. This means that certificates issued by approved supervisory agencies may be used throughout the Community, irrespective of the Member State in which the agency issuing the certificate is based.

For the information of Community exporters of agricultural products, the Commission periodically publishes a list of all the supervisory agencies approved by the Member States. The attached list was updated on 1 October 2012.

2. NOTICE

The Commission draws the attention of exporters to the following:

— The fact that a particular supervisory agency appears on the list does not automatically guarantee that certificates issued by that agency are acceptable. Additional documentary evidence may be required. It may also become apparent later that certificates issued are inaccurate.

— Agencies may be taken off the list at any time. Before settling on a particular agency, exporters are accordingly advised to check with the national authorities (cfr Annex XIII to Regulation (EC) No 612/2009) that it is still approved.

— Exporters can obtain further information on any agency from the national authority which approved it.

Union producers may lodge a written request for a review. This request must contain sufficient evidence that the expiry of the measures would be likely to result in a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury.

Should the Commission decide to review the measures concerned, importers, exporters, representatives of the exporting country and Union producers will then be provided with the opportunity to amplify, rebut or comment on the matters set out in the review request.

Aid No: SA.34931 (12/XF)

Member State: Spain

Region/authority granting the aid: Rioja

Title of aid scheme/name of company receiving ad hoc aid: Fomento de la acuicultura y de la transformación y comercialización de los productos de la pesca y la acuicultura.

This aid scheme replaces the aid scheme registered under Aid No SA.32722 (2011/XF).

Legal basis: Orden no 5/2012, de 20 de marzo, de la Consejería de Industria, Innovación y Empleo, por la que se aprueban las bases reguladoras de concesión de subvenciones por la Agencia de Desarrollo Económico de La Rioja destinadas al fomento de la acuicultura y de la transformación y comercialización de los productos de la pesca y la acuicultura, en régimen de concesión directa (Boletín Oficial de La Rioja número 35, de 21 de marzo de 2012).

Annual expenditure planned under the scheme or amount of ad hoc aid granted: EUR 0.55 million

Maximum aid intensity: 40%

X if it is a scheme: the date until which aid may be granted: 30.6.2014

in the case of ad hoc aid: the expected date of the last instalment to be paid.

Objective of aid: Promoting aquaculture and the processing and marketing of fishery and aquaculture products.

Indicate which of Article(s) 8 to 24 is used: Articles 11 and 16.

Activity concerned: Aquaculture and the processing and wholesale marketing of fishery and aquaculture products.

Motivation: Indicate why a State aid scheme has been established instead of assistance under the European Fisheries Fund: The subsidies provided for by Order No 5 of 20 March 2012 form part of the operational programme for the Spanish fisheries sector for the period 2007-2013, co-financed by the European Fisheries Fund.

However, the financial contributions made by the Agencia de Desarrollo Económico de La Rioja are expected to exceed those in the operational programme. We therefore take the view that Article 7(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 of 27 July 2006 on the European Fisheries Fund applies and, consequently, Articles 87, 88 and 89 of the Treaty also apply.
