Flight bookings

Flights must be marketed using at least one computerised reservation system.

Continuity of service

Except in cases of force majeure, the number of flights cancelled for reasons directly attributable to the carrier must not exceed 3 % of the number of flights scheduled in any year.

>TABLE>

Note 1:

Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity 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 2.1:

The new (or amended) standard has the same scope as the superseded standard. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

Note 2.2:

The new standard has a broader scope than the superseded standard. On the date stated the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

Note 2.3:

The new standard has a narrower scope than the superseded standard. On the date stated the (partially) superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive for those products that fall within the scope of the new standard. Presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive for products that still fall within the scope of the (partially) superseded standard, but that do not fall within the scope of the new standard, is unaffected.

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 The superseded standard (column 4) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

Example:

For EN 60215:1989, the following applies:

>TABLE>

Note 4:

EN 301 489-1 contains the common EMC emission and immunity requirements for all radio equipment and must be used together with the appropriate radio part of this standard, to demonstrate presumption of conformity to Article 3.1.b of the directive.

Note:

- In addition standards published under Directives 73/23/EC and 89/336/EEC may be used to demonstrate compliance with Articles 3.1.a and 3.1.b of Directive 1999/5/EC.

- Products are presumed to comply with the Directive when they meet the requirements within the usage conditions for which they are intended.

- This list replaces all the previous lists published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Communication on the invitation to tender for the subsidy on consignments of husked long-grain B rice to Réunion

(2004/C 186/02)

Regulation (EC) No 1275/2004 (OJ L 241, 13.7.2004, p. 8) extended the period for submitting tenders for the subsidy on consignments of husked long-grain B rice to Réunion opened by Regulation (EC) No 1878/2003 (OJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 23).

However, for technical reasons, the amendment of the invitation to tender (OJ C 257, 25.10.2003, p. 8) setting the dates for introduction of the offers cannot be published within required time limit. Under these conditions, the extension of the invitation to tender cannot apply.
20.

In addition, however, each club which chooses not to exploit TV rights via a club channel can sell its home games to a broadcaster from midnight on the day after the match for a one-off free-TV or pay- TV broadcast of the full match at any time prior to the start of the next full fixture programme of Premier League matches. These club rights may not be sold in such a way as to allow a user to produce a product which runs counter to the interests of the FAPL or of the holders of the centrally marketed packages through the production of a bundled product or which otherwise undermines the benefits of central branding and/or marketing. Therefore, no more than two clubs may sell to the same broadcaster its home match out of any full fixture programme of 10 Premier League matches. Further, broadcasters must ensure that in any programme, based to any extent on rights sold by the clubs, the broadcast of a single club's home match does not exceed 30 % of the total duration of that programme and that the broadcast of the home matches of any two clubs does not exceed 50 % of the total duration of that programme.

Notice concerning anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of furfuryl alcohol originating in the People's Republic of China: Modification of the name of a company with an individual anti-dumping duty rate

(2004/C 296/03)

Imports of furfuryl alcohol originating in the People's Republic of China are subject to definitive anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1905/2003 (1).

Zhucheng Huaxiang Chemical Co., Ltd, a Chinese company whose exports to the Community of furfuryl alcohol are subject to an individual duty rate of EUR 97/tonne by the aforementioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that on 17 December 2003 it changed its name to ‘Zhucheng Taisheng Chemical Co., Ltd’. The company has argued that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual duty rate applied to the company under its previous name of Zhucheng Huaxiang Chemical Co., Ltd.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of company name in no way affects the findings of Council Regulation (EC) No 1905/2003.

Hence, the references to ‘Zhucheng Huaxiang Chemical Co., Ltd’ should be read as ‘Zhucheng Taisheng Chemical Co., Ltd’ in Article 1(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1905/2003.

The Taric code A441, previously attributed to Zhucheng Huaxiang Chemical Co. Ltd, shall apply to Zhucheng Taisheng Chemical Co., Ltd.

(1) OJ L 283, 31.10.2003, p. 1.
‘(b)

the consortium agreement must give member companies the right to withdraw from the consortium without financial or other penalty such as, in particular, an obligation to cease all transport activity in the trade or trades in question, whether or not coupled with the condition that such activity may be resumed only after a certain period has elapsed. This right shall be subject to a maximum notice period of six months which may be given after an initial period of 18 months starting from the date of entry into force of the consortium agreement or the agreement to make a substantial new investment to the joint maritime service. If the date of entry into force of the agreement is earlier than the date of commencement of the service, the initial period shall not be more than 24 months starting from the date of entry into force of the consortium agreement or the date of entry into force of the agreement to make a substantial new investment to the joint maritime service. However, in the case of a highly integrated consortium which has a net revenue pool and/or high level of investment due to the purchase or charter by its members of vessels specifically for the purpose of setting up the consortium, the maximum notice period shall be six months, which may be given after an initial period of 30 months starting from the date of entry into force of the consortium agreement or the agreement to make a substantial new investment to the joint maritime service. If the date of entry into force of the agreement is earlier than the date of commencement of the service, the initial period shall not be more than 36 months starting from the date of entry into force of the consortium agreement or the date of entry into force of the agreement to make a substantial new investment to the joint maritime service.’
