Pursuant to Article 9(1)(a), second indent, of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Communities (2) are amended as follows:

On page 377:

8712 00 Bicycles and other cycles (including delivery tricycles), not motorised

The second paragraph of the existing text is replaced by the following:

‘An incomplete bicycle, whether or not assembled, is to be classified under heading 8712 if it consists of the frame, the fork and at least two of the following components:

— a set of wheels,

— a crank-gear (see the Explanatory Notes to subheading 8714 96 30),

— a steering unit (including handlebar and handlebar stems),

By application of General Interpretative Rule 2(a) of the Combined Nomenclature, an article remains classified as an incomplete article, whether or not assembled, under this subheading, for example, when it consists of: — one or several gearings usually attached to the right crank/pedal arm, — one or several gearings usually attached to the right crank/pedal arm and the left crank/pedal arm, or — one or several gearings usually attached to the right crank/pedal arm and the bracket bearing axle.’

The Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Communities (2) shall be amended as follows:

Page 256 to 258

Chapter 64 General

The second paragraph of General, point 1(c), is replaced by the following text:

‘Accessories generally have an ornamental function and reinforcements have a protective or strengthening function. Since reinforcements are attachments to the upper aiming to give additional strength, they are attached to the external surface of the upper and not merely to the lining. However, a section of lining may appear underneath the reinforcement, provided that its reinforcement function is not thereby reduced. Besides being attached to the upper the reinforcement or accessory may also be attached to, or go into, the sole. A material is not considered an accessory or reinforcement, but is considered a part of the upper provided the method of assembling of the materials underneath is not durable (sewn seams are an example of a durable method of assembling).’

Consideration 3 of the text below the diagrams of General, point 1(c), is replaced by the following text:

‘3. Removing the leather section (3) has revealed an area of textile (marked A on the diagram) and an area of lining material lying underneath section 3. As the textile does not extend all the way under section 3, and, as the lining is not considered to be an upper, and, as there is mainly lining material under the leather, the leather section does not reinforce any upper material, and, thus, has to be counted as part of the upper.’

Notice of implementation of the Guarantee Action under the European Progress Microfinance Facility

2010/C 202/02

This notice is addressed to intermediaries, such as financial institutions, microfinance institutions or guarantee institutions, aiming to provide micro-credits or guarantees supporting micro-credits.

The European Union has mandated the European Investment Fund (‘EIF’) to implement a guarantee action under the European Progress Microfinance Facility for employment and social inclusion (‘the Facility’) (1) by issuing guarantees, in its own name but on the account and risk of the European Union covering micro-credits or guarantees supporting micro-credits (the ‘Guarantee Action’).

The Guarantee Action aims to provide European Union resources to increase access to, and availability of, microfinance for final beneficiaries as defined in Article 2 of the Decision establishing the Facility.

This Guarantee Action is open to public and private bodies established on national, regional or local levels in the Member States which provide micro-credits, or guarantees supporting micro-credits to persons and micro-enterprises in the Member States of the European Union.

The indicative total appropriations from the Union budget for the Facility for the period from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2013 are EUR 100 million, out of which an amount of EUR 25 million is earmarked for the Guarantee Action.

Prospective intermediaries can obtain detailed information on the Guarantee Action from:

European Investment Fund 96, boulevard Konrad Adenauer 2968 Luxembourg LUXEMBOURG E-mail: info@eif.org

Dedicated inbox

or from the EIF's website at: http://www.eif.org/what_we_do/microfinance/progress/Progress_Microcredit_Guarantees_1.htm

Dedicated link

The contact details of intermediaries benefiting from a guarantee issued by EIF under the Guarantee Action will be published on the EIF's website in order to allow final beneficiaries to make direct contact with these intermediaries.

Applications from the intermediaries will be examined by the EIF on a continuous basis, within constraints of the available Union budget allocations. The EIF will seek to promote a balanced geographic distribution.
