amending Council Decision 2003/17/EC as regards the equivalence of field inspections carried out in Ukraine on cereal seed-producing crops and on the equivalence of cereal seed produced in Ukraine

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

•Reasons for and objectives of the proposal

Council Decision 2003/17/EC grants equivalence to certain non-EU countries as regards field inspections and production of seed of certain species that are carried out in accordance with Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC, 2002/54/EC and 2002/57/EC. The national provisions governing seed harvested and controlled in those countries afford the same assurances as regards the seed's characteristics and the arrangements for its examination, for ensuring seed identification, for marking and for control as the provisions applicable to seed harvested and controlled within the European Union. Ukraine is not included in those non-EU countries, therefore import into the European Union of cereal seeds harvested in that country is currently not possible.

Ukraine has submitted to the Commission a request that its cereal seed is covered by Council Decision 2003/17/EC as equivalent.

Following that request, the Commission has carried out an examination of the applicable legislation of Ukraine and conducted an audit of the field inspections and seed certification system for cereal seed in place in Ukraine. It was concluded that its requirements and system in place are equivalent to the ones of the Union and offer the same assurance as the Union’s system.

Therefore, it is appropriate to recognise the Ukrainian seed as equivalent to cereal seed harvested, produced and controlled in the European Union through a Decision to be adopted by the European Parliament and the Council.

•Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area

This is a technical implementation of existing requirements and thus consistent with existing policy provisions in the policy area or marketing of seeds.

•Consistency with other Union policies

This proposal is in line with the aims of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, because it will boost trade in seed that complies with the Union’s rules.

2.LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY

•Legal basis

The legal basis of this act is Article 43(2) TFEU, which empowers the European Parliament and the Council to establish provisions necessary for the pursuit of the objectives of the common agricultural policy.

•Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)

Requirements for seed are regulated at the Union level. In order to guarantee that imported seed can move freely in the Single Market, action at Union level is necessary.

•Proportionality

This is the only possible form of Union action to achieve the pursued objective.

•Choice of the instrument
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

•Reasons for and objectives of the proposal

The aim of the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (hereafter: "the 1980 Hague Convention"), to date ratified by 101 countries, including all EU Member States, is to restore the status quo by means of the prompt return of wrongfully removed or retained children through a system of cooperation among central authorities appointed by its Contracting Parties.

As the prevention of child abduction is an essential part of the EU policy to promote the rights of the child, the European Union is active at international level to improve the application of the 1980 Hague Convention and encourages third States to accede it.

Jamaica deposited the accession instrument to the 1980 Hague Convention on 24 February 2017. The Convention entered into force in Jamaica on 5 May 2017.

Article 38(4) of the 1980 Hague Convention stipulates that the Convention applies between the acceding country and such Contracting States as will have declared their acceptance of the accession.

The existence of the EU exclusive competence in the matter of the acceptance of the accession of a third State to the 1980 Hague Convention was confirmed by the Court of Justice of the European Union, which was consulted at the Commission's initiative.

On 14 October 2014, Opinion 1/13 of the Court of Justice of the European Union stated that the exclusive competence of the European Union encompasses the acceptance of the accession of a third state to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.

The Court insisted on the need for uniformity on the matter at EU level, avoiding a géométrie variable among Member States.

As the matter of international child abduction falls within the exclusive external competence of the European Union, the decision whether to accept the accession of Jamaica has to be taken at EU level by means of a Council Decision. The Member States of the European Union should thus deposit the declaration of acceptance concerning the accession of Jamaica in the interest of the European Union.

The acceptance of the Member States of the European Union would render the 1980 Hague Convention applicable between Jamaica and the EU Member States except Denmark.
to authorise the Commission to open negotiations for the amendment of the Agreement between the European Union and the Kingdom of Norway on administrative cooperation, fight against fraud and recovery of claims in the area of value added tax

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

•Reasons for and objectives of the proposal

The Agreement between the European Union and the Kingdom of Norway (“Norway”) on administrative cooperation, fight against fraud and recovery of claims in the area of value added tax (“the Agreement”) entered into force in September 2018. The Agreement allows the EU Member States and Norway to cooperate in a similar way Member States do under Council Regulation (EU) No 904/2010 and Council Directive 2010/24/EU to fight against VAT fraud, and assist each other to recover claims in the field of VAT.

However, in the meantime several amendments to Council Regulation (EU) 904/2010 were made and new tools for administrative cooperation were introduced, namely by the amending Council Regulation (EU) 2018/1541. The new tools include:

- enhancement of the Eurofisc network through reinforced governance, the so-called follow-up actions (joint processing and analysis of data) and administrative enquiries carried out jointly (joint audits);

- working with other law enforcement EU bodies (Europol, OLAF);

- sharing key information on imports and on vehicles.

The possibility to use other means to exchange information than the standard forms was also introduced.

Article 41(5) of the Agreement lays down the formalities if a Party to the Agreement would like to revise it. Thus, this Party shall lay a proposal before the Joint Committee, which shall make recommendations, in particular for the commencement of negotiations according to the rules for international negotiations of the Parties. During the second meeting on 25 November 2021 of the EU-Norway Joint Committee, established under Article 41(1) of the Agreement, the Kingdom of Norway officially submitted a request to supplement and amend the Agreement in order to:

·take into account the newly introduced administrative cooperation tools (the use of other means to exchange information than the standard forms, the administrative enquiries carried out jointly and the follow-up actions in the framework of Eurofisc).

·update the reference to the repealed Directive 95/46/EC by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.

Norway has so far participated actively in most of the Eurofisc working fields. During the course of 2020 and 2021, Norway alerted the Member States to possible fraud and potential VAT loss amounting to EUR 5 billion in the carbon credit area.

The amendment of the Agreement by including the above-mentioned new tools would allow for better cooperation and enhance the fight against fraud, thus bringing added value for both parties to the Agreement (Norway and Member States).

•Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area
DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

•Reasons for and objectives of the proposal

This proposal for repealing Council Directive 89/629/EEC is submitted in the context of the Commission's REFIT programme and commitment on better regulation. The objective is to ensure a legislative framework that is fit for purpose and of high-quality, as referred to in the Interinstitutional Agreement between the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission on Better Law-Making. To that end, the Commission has identified this obsolete act that the Commission is proposing to repeal. The Commission announced its intention to repeal the Council Directive 86/629/EEC in its Commission Work Programme for 2017.

2.LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY

•Legal basis

Based on Article 100(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (ex Article 80(2) TEC and ex Article 84(2) TEEC), Council Directive 89/629/EEC allowed for certain aeroplanes exceeding relevant noise emission standards to continue operation, if they had already been entered in a national register of a Member State. It was no longer allowed to include any new registrations of such aeroplanes after the Directive entered into force.

Directive 2006/93/EC introduced a complete phase-out for all noisy aeroplanes, including those covered by Council Directive 89/629/EEC, regardless of whether they were already registered or not. As a result, aeroplanes not meeting the relevant noise emission standards are no longer allowed to fly in European Union skies and have had to be removed from the Member States' national registers.

With the changed approach from the non-addition rule in 1989 to the phase-out approach in 2006, and the fact that aeroplanes not meeting the relevant noise emission standards have been eliminated from national registers and are no longer allowed to fly in the European Union skies, the Council Directive 89/629/EEC became obsolete and should be repealed.

REASON
Theappropriations areintended forthereplacement ofworn kitchen
equipment andutensils intheCommission 'srestaurant kitchen in
Brussels .
Thekitchens were fitted outin1971 andserious breakdowns began to
occur in1977 ;there hasbeen asignificant increase inthenumber
ofrepairs that hashadtobecarried out .TheCommission decided
atthebeginning of1978 toreplace equipment gradually andhada
thorough study made ofthework andtime involved .Thestudy has
shown that the worn equipment hadtobereplaced more quickly and
more widely than wasexpected .
Technical progress hasalso meant that improved equipment which is
better suited tothe restaurant 'sneeds isnow onthe market .The
most rational solution istherefore totransform thekitchens by
undertaking work onalarger scale .
Itwasnotpossible ,however ,towork outhowintime forthe
Commission toenter thenecessary appropriations inthe
Preliminary Draft Budget for1919 .
Inorder tosatisfy therequirement that social service expenditure
under Chapter 14should becharged asfully aspossible inaccordance
with itspurpose ,allthis expenditure –the equipment andfitting out
costs -will beentered under Article 142-Restaurants and Canteens .

COMMISSION OPINION on a recommendation of the European Central Bank for a Council Regulation concerning further calls of foreign reserves assets by the European Central Bank

(presented by the Commission)

In a letter dated 14 October 1999, the Council requested the opinion of the Commission on a recommendation of the European Central Bank (ECB) for a Council Regulation concerning further calls of foreign reserves assets by the ECB. The competence of the Commission to deliver an opinion on this recommendation follows from Article 107(6) of the Treaty in connection with Article 30.4 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and the European Central Bank.

On 08.03.2000 the Commission has adopted the following opinion:

1. Noting the competing rights of initiative of the Commission and the ECB, the Commission agrees with the initiative taken by the ECB.

2. The Commission supports the doubling of the limit for calls of foreign reserve assets by the ECB to the extent that these further calls serve to replenish holdings of reserve assets up to the initial limit of EUR 50,000 million fixed in the ESCB Statute.

3. Recital No 2 should be redrafted. It is written there that Article 30.4 of the ESCB Statute "requires" the Council to specify the limits and conditions for further calls of foreign reserve assets, whereas the word "requires" is not used in the Statute.
COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK - secondary legislation relating to the euro and Greece

(presented by the Commission)

COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK - secondary legislation relating to the euro and Greece

On 3 May 2000, the Commission adopted a proposal for a Council Decision in accordance with Article 122 (2) of the Treaty, proposing that Greece fulfils the necessary conditions for the adoption of the single currency and that the derogation of Greece is abrogated with effect from 1 January 2001.

In case of a positive decision, the Council will subsequently have to adopt the conversion rate between the euro and the drachma which will take effect from 1 January 2001 and will have to take the other measures necessary for the introduction of the euro in Greece.

The Commission presents the respective proposals ahead of the decision of the Council on the abrogation of the derogation of Greece in order to ensure flexibility with respect to the date of adoption of the regulations by the Council.

The Communication includes proposals for:

* Council Regulation amending Council Regulation (EC) N° 974/98 on the introduction of the euro.

* Council Regulation amending Council Regulation (EC) N° 1103/97 on certain provisions relating to the introduction of the euro.

* Council Regulation amending Council Regulation (EC) N° 2866/98 on the conversion rates between the euro and the currencies of the Member States adopting the euro.
