COMMISSION OPINION

of 4 May 2010

relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the final dismantling of the Brennilis Nuclear Power Station in France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(Only the French text is authentic)

2010/C 116/01

On 30 October 2009, the European Commission received from the French Government, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, General Data relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the final dismantling of the Brennilis Nuclear Power Station.

On the basis of these data and additional information requested by the Commission on 26 November 2009 and provided by the French authorities on 6 January 2010, and following consultation with the Group of Experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

1. The distance between the power station and the nearest point of a neighbouring country, in this case the Channel Islands (British Crown Dependencies), is 150 km. The distance to the nearest Member State is 207 km for the United Kingdom.

2. During normal dismantling operations the discharges of gaseous effluents will not cause an exposure liable to affect the health of the population in another Member State or in a neighbouring country. Discharges of liquid effluents are not authorised.

3. Solid radioactive waste is temporarily stored on site before being transferred to licensed treatment or disposal facilities located in France. The Commission recommends that the residual activity concentration checks, carried out to confirm the conventional nature of the solid waste after decontamination, be such that compliance with the clearance criteria laid down in the Basic Safety Standards (Directive 96/29/Euratom) is ensured.

4. In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents which may follow an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, the doses likely to be received by the population in another Member State or in a neighbouring country will not be liable to affect the health of the population.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste in whatever form arising from the dismantling of the Brennilis Nuclear Power Station in France, both in normal operation and in the event of an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, is not liable to result in radioactive contamination of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State or a neighbouring country.

Notice to importers

Imports of tuna from Colombia and El Salvador into the EU

2010/C 132/05

The European Commission informs European Union operators that there are reasonable doubts concerning the proper application of the preferential treatment and the applicability of the evidence of origin presented in the European Union for canned tuna and frozen tuna loins of HS subheading 1604 14 imported from Colombia and El Salvador.

From various investigations, it results that significant quantities of canned tuna and frozen tuna loins of HS subheading 1604 14 are declared as having origin of Colombia or El Salvador, for which they are not eligible.

Moreover, it cannot be excluded that consignments are imported from other countries benefitting from the generalised system of preferences (GSP) without fulfilling requirements of GSP rules of origin concerning cumulation of origin.

European Union operators declaring and/or presenting documentary evidence of origin for the products mentioned above are therefore advised to take all necessary precautions, since the release of the goods in question for free circulation may give rise to a customs debt and lead to fraud against the European Union financial interests. The possible subsequent entry in the accounts of a customs debt resulting from the above-mentioned circumstances will be covered by the provisions of the fifth subparagraph of Article 220(2)(b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1).

Note 1: Generally the date of cessation of use will be the date of withdrawal (dow), set by the European Standardisation Organisation, but attention of users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be otherwise.

Note 3: In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments, if any, and the new, quoted amendment. The superseded standard (column 3) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard cannot be used any longer in the context of the directive.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of certain polyethylene teraphthalate originating, inter alia, in Taiwan: change of the name of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

2010/C 151/06

Imports of certain polyethylene teraphthalate originating in Taiwan are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 (1).

Far Eastern Textile Ltd, a company located in Taiwan, whose exports to the Union of certain polyethylene teraphthalate are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty of EUR/tonne 36,3 imposed by Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 192/2007, has informed the Commission that on 13 October 2009, it changed its name to Far Eastern New Century Corporation.

The company has argued that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual anti-dumping duty rate applied to the company under its previous name of Far Eastern Textile Ltd.

The Commission has examined the information provided and has concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EC) No 192/2007. Therefore, the reference in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 to:

Far Eastern Textile Ltd

should be read as:

Far Eastern New Century Corporation

The TARIC additional code A808 previously attributed to Far Eastern Textile Ltd shall apply to Far Eastern New Century Corporation.

— Zákon č. 99/2004 Sb., o rybníkářství, výkonu rybářského práva, rybářské stráži, ochraně mořských rybolovných zdrojů a o změně některých zákonů (zákon o rybářství)

Annual expenditure planned under the scheme or amount of individual aid granted: CZK 70 million

Maximum aid intensity: Up to 100 % (in accordance with Article 30 and Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006)

Date of implementation:

Duration of the scheme or individual aid award (not later than 30 June 2014):

Objective of aid: Aid for aqua-environmental measures, aid for forms of aquaculture comprising protection and improvement of the environment, natural resources and genetic diversity, and upkeep of the landscape and the traditional characteristics of aquaculture zones.

Indicate which of Articles 8 to 24 was used: Article 12 — Aid for aqua-environmental measures

Sector(s) concerned: Partial compensation for the losses incurred by fishing entities in connection with their obligation to maintain in the public interest the functions of lakes as water-management tools and as assets to be enjoyed by society as a whole.

Name and address of the granting authority:

Ministerstvo zemědělství ČR Těšnov 17 117 05 Praha 1 ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA

Web address where the full text of the scheme or the criteria and conditions under which ad hoc aid is granted outside an aid scheme can be found: http://eagri.cz/public/eagri/dotace/narodni-dotace/zasady-zemedelstvi-potravinarstvi

Justification: This programme provides partial compensation for the losses incurred by fishing entities as a result of the relevant legislation and decisions adopted by water-management and environmental-protection bodies in compliance with the law, whilst fishing entities apply voluntarily for the Operational Programme ‘Rybářství’ (Fisheries) and act in accordance with what constitutes a structurally different programme. The operational programme does not provide compensation for losses or excess costs to which legislation may give rise.

Expenditure relating to the maintenance of the non-productive functions of lakes is to be met by the aquaculture sector and is not otherwise compensated for by the relevant authorities.

The programme is linked to the existing State aid programme CZ 84/2004 (Aid for the non-productive functions of lakes), which will end on 31 December 2010.
