Commission notice on current State aid recovery interest rates and reference/discount rates applicable as from 1 September 2019

(Published in accordance with Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 of 21 April 2004 (OJ L 140, 30.4.2004, p. 1))

(2019/C 266/02)

Base rates calculated in accordance with the Communication from the Commission on the revision of the method for setting the reference and discount rates (OJ C 14, 19.1.2008, p. 6.). Depending on the use of the reference rate, the appropriate margins have still to be added as defined in this communication. For the discount rate this means that a margin of 100 basis points has to be added. The Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2008 of 30 January 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 foresees that, unless otherwise provided for in a specific decision, the recovery rate will also be calculated by adding 100 basis points to the base rate.

Modified rates are indicated in bold.

In the interests of clarity, a complete list of titles and references of European standards drafted in support of Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) and satisfying the requirements they aim to cover should be published in one act.

Therefore, from the date of entry into force of the Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1698, the European Commission ensures the updating of this list on the basis of future implementing decisions published in the OJ series L instead of series C.

15.

As regards the United Kingdom, being treated as a member of the EU until the end of the transition period, as well as neighbouring non-EU countries, EEA members, Switzerland, the Western Balkans countries and economies, as well as cooperation with countries participating in the Union Civil Protection Mechanism, in particular those on the extended TEN-T network, the respective national authorities are invited to closely work with the EU contact point network. This is essential to fully align all the necessary procedures to ensure flow of all goods, both destined for these countries and in transit from one part of the EU (or of this wider group of countries) to another. The Commission will also work closely with the Permanent Secretariat of the Transport Community to facilitate the coordination and implementation of measures between the EU and the Western Balkans Six countries. Without prejudice to specific controls on goods or transport workers inherently and habitually linked to crossing external borders of the single market, the customs union or the Schengen area, respectively, Member States should apply to the greatest extent possible at such external borders the implementation guidance set out in this Communication.

Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union

(2020/C 180/09)

Pursuant to Article 9(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1), the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union (2) are hereby amended as follows:

On page 102, between the Explanatory Note to CN heading ‘2208 Undenatured ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by volume of less than 80 % vol; spirits, liqueurs and other spirituous beverages’ and before the Explanatory Note to CN subheadings ‘2208 30 11 to 2208 30 88 Whiskies’ , the following paragraph is inserted:

‘2208 20 Spirits obtained by distilling grape wine or grape marc See the HS Explanatory Note to heading 2208, third paragraph, (1). This subheading includes “wine distillate” (or “raw distillate of wine”) which is obtained by the primary distillation, after alcoholic fermentation, of grape wine. It does not have the properties of neutral ethyl alcohol or of a spirit drink but still retains the aroma and taste of the raw material used. Wine distillate can be added to a wine spirit to obtain Brandy or Weinbrand.’
