NORTHERN ROCK PLC TRANSFER ORDER 2009

On 8 December 2009 the Treasury, the UK’s finance and economics ministry, made the Northern Rock plc Transfer Order 2009 (‘the Order’), which makes provision for certain reorganisation measures to be implemented in respect of the restructuring of Northern Rock plc (wholly owned by the Treasury).

Articles 2, 6, 7 and 8 of, and Schedule 2 to, the Order came into force on 8 December 2009. Articles 6 and 7 make provision to ensure that third parties do not acquire or incur new rights, interests, obligations or liabilities as a result of the making of the Order or things done or omitted to be done in relation to it.

The remaining provisions of the Order come into force on 1 January 2010 and make provision in conjunction with, or to give effect to, the restructuring of Northern Rock plc.

The restructuring involves the transfer of parts of Northern Rock’s business, including retail deposits, specified wholesale deposits and a proportion of unencumbered mortgages (which includes all of the business of Northern Rock’s Irish branch (registered number at the Irish Companies Registration Office of 904328)) to a new company, which is wholly owned by the Treasury and will be regulated by the Financial Services Authority (the body established to regulate the financial services industry in the UK). The remainder of Northern Rock’s mortgage book, arrangements relating to the Granite securitisation and the covered bond programme, the Government loan and other borrowings, derivatives and specified wholesale deposits (held on behalf of its wholesale funding programmes) will remain with the existing company.

Following the transfer, it is intended that the existing company will be renamed as ‘Northern Rock (Asset Management) plc’ and the new company will be named ‘Northern Rock plc’. Both companies will be operated at arms’ length from the UK Government on commercial principles.

The Order was made in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 8 and 12 of, and Schedule 2 to, the Banking (Special Provisions) Act 2008. Further details are available at: http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk

Persons affected by the Treasury’s decision to make the Order may apply to the Administrative Court at the Royal Courts of Justice, Strand, London, WC2A 2LL, UNITED KINGDOM, for leave to challenge the decision by way of judicial review promptly, and in any event, not later than 3 months after 8 December 2009. Information regarding the time limit (including the circumstances in which it may be extended) and the procedure for making an application is set out in Civil Procedure Rule 54, available at: http://www.justice.gov.uk
Proposal for a Council Decision amending Council Decision 95/408/EC of 22 June 1995 on the conditions for drawing up, for an interim period, provisional lists of third-country establishments from which Member States are authorised to import certain products of animal origin, fishery products and live bivalve molluscs (98/C 215/06) COM(1998) 360 final - 98/0200(CNS)

(Submitted by the Commission on 9 June 1998)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to Council Decision 95/408/EC of 22 June 1995 on the conditions for drawing up, for an interim period, provisional lists of third-country establishments from which Member States are authorised to import certain products of animal origin, fishery products and live bivalve molluscs (1), as amended by Decision 97/34/EC (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas, in order to prevent any disruptions in traditional trade patterns, the interim period during which a simplified system may be applied for the approval of third-country establishments exporting certain products of animal origin, fishery products and live bivalve molluscs should be extended,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

In Article 9 of Decision 95/408/EC, '31 December 1998` is replaced by '31 December 2000`.

Article 2

Considering the important increase of the caseload of the General Court since 2011, the Court of Justice, as mentioned in point 3 above, suggested on 13 October 2014 that the co-legislators amend its initial proposal so as to double the number of judges at the General Court in three stages by 2019, including the integration of the Civil Service Tribunal in the General Court, in order to attain the following objectives: — dispose of the same number of cases as the number of new cases brought, thus halting the increase in the number of pending cases; — clear the backlog of pending cases; — reduce the length of proceedings before the General Court, and thus also the risks of the European Union being held in breach of Article 47 of the Charter; — simplify the judicial architecture of the European Union, and promote the consistency of the case-law; — have greater flexibility in dealing with cases, by allowing the General Court, in the interests of the proper administration of justice, to assign a greater or lesser number of Judges to one or more Chambers, depending on changes in the caseload, or to make certain Chambers responsible for hearing and determining cases falling within certain subject areas; — solve the recurring problems linked to the appointment of Judges of the Civil Service Tribunal and prevent similar ones that could appear for the appointment of additional Judges at the General Court; — restore to the Court of Justice the power to rule on appeal in disputes between the Union and its servants, thus rendering superfluous both the review procedure (the implementation of which has proved somewhat complex) and the office of temporary Judge at the Civil Service Tribunal.
10.

The change to the management framework principally affected the discussion on the cod plan amendment in three ways: — The landing obligation introduced by the CFP's Basic Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013) put into question the added value of the cod plan's fishing effort regime, as the latter had been introduced in order to reduce the same shortcoming (discards). In addition, as the landing obligation applies gradually in the various fisheries, the new policy requires a lot of adaptation and flexibility from fishermen, which is a need that cannot be fulfilled if the regulation restricts, through the effort regime, gear use and time at sea; — Both the landing obligation and the need to move away from a single species management concept in mixed fisheries require a new type of multiannual management plan. The Commission has worked on successor plans for the cod plan in terms of area-based multi-species management plans. The first one, concerning the North Sea, has in the meantime been submitted to the co-legislators (13). It is therefore not appropriate to add new elements to the cod plan that would pre-empt the discussion on the reform-based multiannual management plans; — The Basic Regulation also introduces the concept of regionalisation, understood as a mechanism at the level of secondary EU legislation that is initiated through Member State cooperation at the regional sea basin level. As regionalisation evolves under the Basic Regulation, for instance through area-based discard plans, it is appropriate to reduce the level of detail for managing cod fisheries provided in the cod plan.
13.

In its preparation for the general approach the Council analysed the amendments by the Parliament and largely incorporated them in the general approach. As regards the amendments on the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for the propulsion of vessels, the Council could not accept the amendments for technical reasons. The development of technical provisions on LNG should be carried out by CESNI instead of the Commission. Furthermore, CESNI has already succeeded in including such provisions in the first version of its standard (ES-TRIN 2015/1). Therefore the amendments by the Parliament relating to the use of LNG have essentially become obsolete since their ultimate goal has been achieved.
16.

With the amount of the original financial envelope more than doubled, through the increase due to the additional allocation, the programme will receive adequate funding. The allocation of funds among the four strands of the programme devotes a very substantial sum of EUR 689,5 million (in current prices) to the new Union Values strand and sets out the basic conditions for it to receive funding already in 2021 – a joint declaration by the European Parliament and the Council calls upon the Commission to take all appropriate actions to reach that objective. At the same time, a ‘flexibility amount’ of EUR 91,2 million (in current prices) is left unattributed, so as to be able to tackle any emerging needs.
30.

In order to promote the objectives of the TFEU related to economic, social and territorial cohesion, the Investment for jobs and growth goal will support all regions, allocating resources under that goal from the ERDF and the ESF+ on the basis of an allocation key which is predominantly based on gross domestic product (‘GDP’) per capita. Member States whose per capita gross national income (‘GNI’) is less than 90 % of that of the Union average will also benefit from the Cohesion Fund under that same goal.
13.

Designated authority : The Council's position at first reading defines the role and responsibility of the designated authority which will be the main point of contact for information for the project promoter and will also provide guidance in the submission of all relevant documents and information, if requested. This provision also establishes a timeframe for the designation of this authority, which is set at 24 months after the entry into force of the Directive. The changes included in this Article aim to guarantee a sufficient level of flexibility for Member States for the implementation of this provision.
6.

Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 ( 5 ) (MFF Regulation) currently does not allow for coverage of the financial liability arising from loans under the MFA+ Instrument. That is why the proposal for the MFA+ Instrument was part of the package of proposals on financing the support to Ukraine, together with the Commission’s proposal for a Council Regulation amending the MFF Regulation ( 6 ) and the Commission’s proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 as regards the establishment of a diversified funding strategy as a general borrowing method ( 7 ) Given that it does not seem possible to adopt the proposed amendment to the MFF Regulation timely enough to allow for the coverage of the financial liability arising from the loans under the MFA+ Instrument as proposed by the Commission, it is appropriate to seek an alternative solution that would allow for swift disbursements of the funds to Ukraine.
ASSENT No 11/73 given by the Council under Article 55 (2) (c) of the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community to enable the Commission to grant financial aid to be derived from the levies provided under Article 50 of the said Treaty to the Third Research Programme on measures to combat pollution in the iron and steel industry

In its letter to the Council dated 19 September 1973, the Commission of the European Communities requested, under Article 55 (2) (c) of the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community the assent necessary to enable it to grant financial aid for the Third Research Programme on measures to combat pollution in the iron and steel industry.

At its 271st Council meeting, held on 17 December 1973, the Council gave the assent requested by the Commission.
