THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Commu-

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24
June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and
indications referring thereto on agricultural products and food-

Whereas:

lishes a new certificate of inspection for imported pro-

new certificate shall be applied from 1 July 2002 to pro-
ducts imported under the procedures established in Arti-
cle 11(1) and 11(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91.

States have encountered certain technical difficulties and
doubts to implement Regulation (EC) No 1788/2001.
For the sake of transparency and in order to avoid confu-
sion, these problems must be solved prior to applying
the new certificate.

Notice to importers — Imports of sugar into the Community from countries in the western Balkans

NOTICE TO IMPORTERS

Imports of sugar into the Community from countries in the western Balkans

(2002/C 152/05)

The European Commission informs the Community operators that there is reasonable doubt as to the
proper application of the preferential arrangements for sugar of headings CN 1701 and CN 1702, which is
declared at
the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia, including Kosovo as defined by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 of 10
June 1999, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in order to benefit from preferential tariff
measures.

import as originating in Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia,

A significant and rapid increase in preferential
imports of sugar into the Community from certain
countries in the western Balkans has been registered since the beginning of 2001, while the countries
concerned have in the recent past shown a deficit in sugar production. At the same time, exports of sugar
from the Community to the countries in the region have increased by roughly the same level. This
development of
trade in both directions appears to be highly artificial and there are indications
pointing to the possibility of fraud.

Community operators presenting documentary evidence of origin with a view to securing preferential
treatment for sugar of tariff headings CN 1701 and CN 1702 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
and lead to fraud against the Community's financial interests.

Case COMP/38.422/D1

Notification of an agreement to set up a support and prudential company in the service sector

(2002/C 152/04)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 29 April 2002 the Commission received notification pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EEC)
1.
No 17/62 of a number of agreements whereby DBV-Winterthur Lebensversicherung AG, Volksfürsorge
Deutsche Lebensversicherung AG und BHW Holding AG want to establish a joint venture called ‘u.di
Unterstützungs- und Vorsorgewerk für den Dienstleistungsbereich GmbH’. The purpose of
the joint
venture is to offer services and consultancy relating to matters of occupational pension schemes to
parties to collective wage agreements, employers and employees in the service sector in Germany.
Through the joint venture the companies concerned intend to offer all kinds of insurance products and
forms of provision in relation to occupational pension schemes on a uniform basis (pension funds,
retirement funds, direct entitlement support funds and direct insurance — „Pensionskasse“, „Pensionsfonds“,
„Direktzusage“, Unterstützungskasse, „Direktversicherung“). The companies are also considering setting up
a joint pension fund and a joint retirement fund.

Upon preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified joint venture could fall within

2.
the scope of Regulation No 17.

The Commission invites interested third parties to submit any comments on the proposed operation
