derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 as regards the implementation period in Romania of the annual plan for the distribution of food for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Union for the year 2009


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(g) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Under Article 3(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 of 29 October 1992 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community (2), the implementation period for the annual plan for the distribution of food begins on 1 October and finishes on 31 December of the following year. Since the difficulties which arose when withdrawing sugar stocks in Slovakia assigned to Romania under the 2009 annual plan adopted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 983/2008 (3) made it physically impossible for Romania to implement its annual plan within the time limit set by Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, an exemption should be granted and the deadline extended in that specific case.












(2)


Implementation of the 2009 plan ends on 31 December 2009 and the derogation must apply from that date at the latest.












(3)


The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
Article 3(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 notwithstanding and as regards the sugar stocks awarded to Romania under the 2009 annual plan, the implementation period of the said plan is extended until 31 January 2010.


Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 31 December 2009.
It shall expire on 1 February 2010.




This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Applicant: Gerald Steinberg (Jerusalem, Israel) (represented by: T. Asserson, lawyer)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

annulment of the contested decision;

disclosure within 15 days of all documents specified in the application;










—


award for costs;










—


any other relief which the Court deems appropriate.





Pleas in law and main arguments

By means of this application the applicant seeks annulment of the Commission decision of 15 May 2009, received by the applicant on 22 November 2009, partially rejecting his request, pursuant to Regulation No 1049/2001 (1), of the access to documents related to funding decisions for grants to Israeli and Palestinian non-governmental organisations for the past three years under the ‘Partnership for Peace’ (PfP) and ‘European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights’ (EIDHR) programmes.
In support of its application the applicant puts forward four pleas in law.
First, the applicant contends that, by not providing the access to the requested documents, the defendant acted in violation of Article 2 of Regulation No 1049/2001.
Second, the applicant argues that by refusing full access to the requested documents the defendant acted in violation of Article 4 of Regulation No 1049/2001 as his request does not fall within the scope of any of the exceptions provided for in this article. Further, the applicant submits that, even if the exceptions would be applicable to his request, quod non, the right to access by the civil society organisations to the requested documents should be considered as constituting ‘overriding public interest in disclosure’.
Third, the applicant claims that by taking almost six months to respond to his confirmatory application despite the fact that Regulation No 1049/2001 required providing a response within 15 working days from the request, the defendant acted in violation of Article 7 of Regulation No 1049/2001.
Fourth, the applicant contends that the defendant failed to carry out an examination of the request ‘promptly’ and therefore acted in violation of Article 8 of Regulation No 1049/2001.
