Questions referred







1.


Does a period in prison following sentence for commission of a criminal offence by a Union citizen break the residence period in the host Member State required for that person to benefit from the highest level of protection against expulsion under Article 28(3)(a) of Directive 2004/38/EC (1) or otherwise preclude the person relying on this level of protection?










2.


Does reference to ‘previous ten years’ in Article 28(3)(a) mean that the residence has to be continuous in order for a Union citizen to be able to benefit from the highest level of protection against expulsion?










3.


For the purposes of Article 28(3)(a), is the requisite period of 10 years during which a Union citizen must have resided in the host Member State calculated (a) by counting back from the expulsion decision; or (b) by counting forward from the commencement of that citizen's residence in the host Member State?










4.


If the answer to Question 3(a) is that the 10 year period is calculated by counting backwards, does it make a difference if the person has accrued ten years residence prior to such imprisonment?

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 787/2012
of 31 August 2012
         
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 as regards the determination of the refund rate for pigmeat in the case of supplies as referred to in Article 34 of that Regulation and carried out from 1 to 18 April 2012
         


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty of 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 170 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 342/2012 (2) fixed export refunds for pigmeat at zero.












(2)


In accordance with Article 34 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 (3), Member States may authorise exporters to follow a procedure whereby the last day of the month is used to determine the rate of the refund applicable to supplies as referred to in Article 34 of that Regulation loaded each month.












(3)


Entitlement to the refund on specific supplies carried out under the procedure provided for in Article 34 of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009, before the date of the entry into force of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 342/2012, should not be affected. In order to determine that refund, it is therefore necessary to set the date to be used for that purpose, by way of derogation from Article 34(2) of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009.












(4)


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
By way of derogation from Article 34(2) of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009, the date 18 April 2012 shall be used to determine the rate of refund applicable for pigmeat in the case of supplies as referred to in Article 41(1) of that Regulation and carried out from 1 to 18 April 2012 in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 34 of that Regulation.
