(Official Journal of the European Union L 272 of 18 October 2011)

The following Statement is added to Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011:



STATEMENT BY THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL

The European Parliament and the Council are mindful of the importance of providing accurate information to consumers, in particular when products are marked with an indication of origin, so as to protect them against fraudulent, inaccurate or misleading claims. The use of new technologies, such as electronic labelling, including radio frequency identification, may be a useful tool to provide such information while keeping pace with technical development. The European Parliament and the Council invite the Commission, when drawing up the report pursuant to Article 24 of the Regulation, to consider their impact on possible new labelling requirements, including with a view to improve the traceability of products.

Operative part of the judgment

Article 21(3) of Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment, as amended by Council Directive 2001/115/EC of 20 December 2001, must be interpreted as not authorising the Member States to provide that a warehouse-keeper other than a customs warehouse-keeper is jointly and severally liable for the value added tax which is owing on a supply of goods made for valuable consideration, and released from the warehouse, by the owner of the goods who is liable for the tax on those goods, even where the warehouse-keeper acts in good faith or where no fault or negligence can be imputed to him.

Re:

Operative part of the judgment

Article 14(1)(b) of Council Directive 2003/96/EC of 27 October 2003 restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity must be interpreted as meaning that the tax exemption on energy products supplied for use as fuel for the purpose of air navigation other than in private pleasure-flying provided for under that provision cannot apply in the case of a company, such as the applicant in the main proceedings, where it leases or charters out an aircraft belonging to it with the fuel to undertakings whose air navigation operations are not directly used for the supply, by those undertakings, of air services for consideration.

Re:

Operative part of the judgment

Articles 2, 3 and 8(4) of Council Framework Decision 2001/220/JHA of 15 March 2001 on the standing of victims in criminal proceedings must be interpreted as not precluding provisions of national law, such as Articles 392(1a), 398(5a) and 394 of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure, which, first, do not impose on the Public Prosecutor any obligation to apply to the competent court so that a victim who is particularly vulnerable may be heard and give evidence under the arrangements of the incidente probatorio during the investigation phase of criminal proceedings and, second, do not give to that victim the right to bring an appeal before a court against that decision of the Public Prosecutor rejecting his or her request to be heard and to give evidence under those arrangements.

National side of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by Luxembourg

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the Community providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.
Issuing country: Luxembourg
Subject of commemoration: The Grand-Duke Henri and the Grand-Duke Guillaume IV from the series ‘grand-ducal dynasty’
Description of the design: The coin depicts on the left hand of its inner part the effigy of His Royal Highness, the Grand-Duke Henri, looking to the right, and superimposed on the effigy of the Grand-Duke Guillaume IV, looking to the right. The text ‘GRANDS-DUCS DE LUXEMBOURG’ and the year-date ‘2012’, flanked by the mintmark and the initials of the Mintmaster, appear above the effigies on the inner part of the coin. In front of the effigies, the outline of the city of Luxembourg appears as background. The names ‘HENRI’ and ‘GUILLAUME IV’ as well as the text ‘† 1912’ are depicted below their respective effigies.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
Number of coins to be issued: 1,4 million
Date of issue: January 2012


(1)  See OJ C 373, 28.12.2001, p. 1 for the national faces of all the coins issued in 2002.

(2)  See the conclusions of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of 10 February 2009 and the Commission Recommendation of 19 December 2008 on common guidelines for the national sides and the issuance of euro coins intended for circulation (OJ L 9, 14.1.2009, p. 52).
