Commission communication in the framework of the implementation of the Council Directive 1999/5/EC

(2003/C 271/03)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(Publication of titles and references of harmonised standards under the Directive)

>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The new (or amended) standard has the same scope as the superseded standard. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive.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The new standard has a broader scope than the superseded standard. On the date stated the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive.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The new standard has a narrower scope than the superseded standard. On the date stated the (partially) superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive for those products that fall within the scope of the new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with the essential requirements of the Directive for products that still fall within the scope of the (partially) superseded standard, but that do not fall within the scope of the new standard, is unaffected.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 The superseded standard (column 4) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive.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.

Modification by the United Kingdom of a public service obligation in respect of a scheduled air service between Benbecula and Barra

(2003/C 295/07)

Notice to importers

Imports into the Community of products from Serbia and Montenegro

(2004/C 14/02)

By a notice to importers published in the Official Journal of the European Communities C 152 of 26 June 2002, p. 14, Community operators were informed that there was reasonable doubt as to the proper application of the preferential arrangements for sugar of headings CN 1701 and CN 1702, which was declared at import as originating in the countries of the western Balkans in order to benefit from preferential tariff measures.

The preferential arrangements provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000 for sugar of CN codes 1701 and 1702 imported from Serbia and Montenegro were suspended for a period of three months by Commission Regulation (EC) No 764/2003. Following the publication of a second notice to importers in the Official Journal of the European Union C 177 of 26 July 2003, p. 2, the suspension of preferences for sugar was extended for an additional period of six months, beginning 8 August 2003, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1343/2003.

The suspension measure was decided on the basis of findings that the administrative structure and legal framework in force in Serbia and Montenegro did not allow the competent authorities of this beneficiary country to properly verify the originating status of the products and to provide administrative co-operation as required for the verification of evidence of origin.

The Commission recognises the important efforts made in the meantime by Serbia and Montenegro with a view to remedying the identified loopholes and to ensuring compliance with the conditions imposed by Community law for Serbia and Montenegro to benefit from the preferential arrangements.

However, until such compliance is ensured, there are doubts that products imported from Serbia and Montenegro under the preferential arrangements are actually and properly subject to the verification of their originating status as required by Community law.

Community operators presenting documentary evidence of origin with a view to securing preferential treatment for all products imported from Serbia and Montenegro are therefore advised to take all the necessary precautions, since the release of the goods in question for free circulation may give rise to a customs debt.

This notice does not apply to Kosovo as defined by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 of 10 June 1999. Kosovo is subject to international civil administration by the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) which has established a separate customs administration.
Imposition by France of public service obligations on scheduled air services within France

(2004/C 22/05)

1. Pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 on access for Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes, France has decided to impose public service obligations on scheduled air services between Toulon-Hyères and Lyon-Saint-Exupéry.

2. From 1 May 2004, the public service obligations in respect of scheduled air services between Toulon-Hyères and Lyon-Saint-Exupéry are as follows:

- two return trips per day, morning and evening, from Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays, 235 days a year,

- one return trip on Saturday morning, 45 days a year,

- one return trip on Sunday evening, 45 days a year.

The services must be operated without a stopover between Toulon and Lyon-Saint-Exupéry.

Type of aircraft used and capacity provided

The services must be operated with a pressurised aircraft having a seating capacity of at least 30.

Timetables

Timetables must be such as to enable passengers on business trips during the working week to make a round trip within the day.

Timetables must be such as to enable transit passengers to take national and international connecting flights at Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport, morning and evening.

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. The carrier must give six months' notice before discontinuing these services.

Community carriers are hereby informed that the operation of air services without regard to the abovementioned public service obligations may result in administrative and/or criminal penalties.
