List of international control and supervisory agencies (hereafter referred to as ‘supervisory agencies’) approved by the Member States under Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 800/1999

(This list replaces the list published in Official Journal of the European Union C 222 of 30 August 2008, page 14)

2009/C 197/05

1. GENERAL

Under Article 16(1)(b) and (2)(c) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 (1), supervisory agencies approved by the Member States, are authorised to issue certificates certifying the unloading and importation of agricultural products qualifying for export refunds in third countries or, at least, their arrival at destination in third countries.

Furthermore, supervisory agencies approved and controlled by a Member State in accordance with Articles 16(a) to 16(f) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 or an official agency of the Member State shall be responsible for carrying out checks provided for in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 639/2003 (granting requirements of export refunds related to the welfare of live bovine animals during transport).

The Member States are responsible for approving and monitoring these supervisory agencies.

Approval of a supervisory agency by one Member State is valid in all Member States. This means that certificates issued by approved supervisory agencies may be used throughout the Community, irrespective of the Member State in which the agency issuing the certificate is based.

For the information of Community exporters of agricultural products, the Commission periodically publishes a list of all the supervisory agencies approved by the Member States. The attached list was updated on 1 July 2009.

2. NOTICE

The Commission draws the attention of exporters to the following:

— The fact that a particular supervisory agency appears on the list does not automatically guarantee that certificates issued by that agency are acceptable. Additional documentary evidence may be required. It may also become apparent later that certificates issued are inaccurate,

— Agencies may be taken off the list at any time. Before settling on a particular agency, exporters are accordingly advised to check with the national authorities (see Annex X of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999) that it is still approved,

— Exporters can obtain further information on any agency from the national authority which approved it.

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The new standard has a narrower scope than the superseded standard. On the date stated the (partially) superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive for those products that fall within the scope of the new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.

Commission notice on current State aid recovery interest rates and reference/discount rates for 27 Member States applicable as from 1 October 2009

(Published in accordance with Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 of 21 April 2004 (OJ L 140, 30.4.2004, p. 1))

2009/C 236/04

Base rates calculated in accordance with the Communication from the Commission on the revision of the method for setting the reference and discount rates (OJ C 14, 19.1.2008, p. 6). Depending on the use of the reference rate, the appropriate margins have still to be added as defined in this communication. For the discount rate this means that a margin of 100 basis points has to be added. The Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2008 of 30 January 2008 amending the implementing Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 foresees that, unless otherwise provided for in a specific decision, the recovery rate will also be calculated by adding 100 basis points to the base rate.
(25)

On the basis of its assessment of the information provided by the investigation, and, in particular, of the results of the previous consultation of the market operators, the decision considers that the modified commitments proposed by the parties on 29 March 2007 are clear-cut and sufficient to remove the competition concerns, without the need to run a further market test, for the following reasons: — the [Plant] (2) plant is a significant supplier of starter batteries to the OE car market, with a market share of around [5-10] (2) % in the EEA. The impact of the remedy would fall short of eliminating the overlap between VB and FIAMM. However, the market share that VB will gain as a result of the transaction post-remedy is likely to be less than what VB would gain, were FIAMM to exit the market as a result of liquidation. Therefore, the remedy would certainly improve the situation with respect to the counterfactual of FIAMM exiting the starter batteries markets, — thanks to the [Plant]’s (2) geographical location and its large overall capacity, the plant is well placed to increase its presence in the OE market. Capacity utilisation at the [Plant] (2) plant has been consistently high in recent years, at around [90-100] (2) %, — if necessary to ensure the viability of the plant, the IAM Business will be also divested by [one of the parties] (2), — the divestiture of the [Plant] (2) equipment will help currently capacity constrained battery manufacturers to increase their capacity at their own plants. The [Plant] (2) equipment is capable of producing both car and truck batteries and could increase the OE capacity and market presence of the purchaser.

COMMISSION OPINION

of 30 November 2009

relating to the plan to modify the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the STED Effluent and Waste Treatment Facility, established on the Cadarache site in France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(Only the French text is authentic)

2009/C 295/02

On 3 June 2009, the European Commission received from the French Government, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, General Data relating to the plan to modify the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the STED Effluent and Waste Treatment Facility, established on the Cadarache site in France.

On the basis of these data and following consultation with the Group of Experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

1. The distance between the STED Effluent and Waste Treatment Facility and the nearest point of another Member State, in this case Italy and Spain, amounts to 110 km and 230 km respectively.

2. The planned modification will involve an increase of the authorised discharge limit for gaseous tritium.

3. During normal operating conditions, the planned modification will not cause an exposure liable to affect the health of the population in another Member State.

4. Solid radioactive waste will temporarily be stored on site before being transferred to a disposal facility authorised by the French Government.

5. 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 received in another Member State 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 to modify the disposal of radioactive waste from the STED Effluent and Waste Treatment Facility established on the Cadarache site 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.

In accordance with Article 27(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003, the Commission invites interested third parties to submit their observations on the proposed commitments. In this context, the Commission asks interested parties to comment in particular on the following questions. Comments should, as far as possible, be substantiated with a detailed reasoning, containing the necessary facts on which the comment is based and, if a problem is identified, a proposal for a solution of the identified problem: (a) The Immediate Capacity Releases are supposed to alleviate at least parts of the identified access problems to E.ON's transmission grid quickly. Does the proposed schedule for a release (as of October 2010), allow for a successful marketing of the entire capacities offered in the ‘Immediate Release’ in particular with a view of the short marketing period for these capacities of probably less than 6 months? (b) Do you have comments regarding the selection of the entry points at which E.ON offers to immediately release capacities and the released volumes at these points? In particular, are any of these entry points not eligible to allow (potential) competitors to effectively access E.ON's transmission grid? Third parties are invited to make comments also on all other aspects of the commitments.
