31994L0066 | Directive | Council Directive 94/66/EC of 15 December 1994 amending Directive 88/609/EEC on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants
| COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 94/66/EC of 15 December 1994 amending Directive 88/609/EEC on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 130s (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commisison (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of the Treaty (3),
Whereas the 1973 (4), 1977 (5), 1983 (6), 1987 (7) and 1993 (8) European Community action programmes on the environment stress the importance of the reduction and prevention of atmospheric pollution;
Whereas Directive 88/609/EEC (9) did not set limit values for SO2 for new plants with a rated thermal input of between 50 and 100 megawatts which use solid fuel; whereas, however, Annex III thereof states that the Council, on the basis of a report from the Commission, shall set emission limit values for plants in this category;
Whereas, according to the Commission's report to the Council on the availability of low-sulphur fuel, the difficult situation which had delayed the setting of these limit values has now improved, thanks notably to the availability on the world market of sufficient quantities of coal with a low sulphur content; whereas emissions from the combustion of this type of coal can be limited to 2 000 mg/Nm3 (*);
Whereas in view of the damage caused to the environment by atmospheric pollution, the emission limit values for plants with a rated thermal input of between 50 and 100 megawatts should be set at this level, | [
"Directive 88/609/EEC is hereby amended as follows:\n- Annex III shall be replaced by the Annex to this Directive;\n- the following subparagraph shall be added to Article 4 (1):\n'However, Member States may provide that new plants having a retard thermal input of not less than 50 megawatts and not more than 100 megawatts and licensed before the deadline for incorporation of Directive 94/66/EC (10)() into national law shall be obliged to comply with the value set in Annex III by no later/than one year after that deadline.\n'",
"1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than six months after its entry into force. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.\nWhen Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by Member States.\n2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the provisions of domestic law which they adopt in the field governed by this Decision.",
"This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.",

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1029/2006
of 19 June 2006
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 on certain marketing standards for poultrymeat
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of the Council of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in poultrymeat (1), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) With effect from 1 January 2006 Council Directive 71/118/EEC of 15 February 1971 on health problems affecting the production and placing on the market of fresh poultrymeat (2) has been repealed by Directive 2004/41/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) and replaced by Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (4) and by Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (5).
(2) Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (6) has been repealed and replaced by Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs (7).
(3) Council Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 (8) contains several references to Directive 71/118/EEC and to Directive 79/112/EEC. For reasons of clarity it is appropriate to adapt those references. Likewise, the definition of the term ‘carcass’ should be adapted to Annex III Section II Chapter IV(7)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004.
(4) The second indent of Article 1(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 excludes from the scope of that Regulation the type of sales referred to in Chapter II Article 3(II) of Directive 71/118/EEC. This latter provision deals with an optional derogation for Member States concerning small-scale production of under 10 000 birds. Whilst Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004 contain a derogation, which is neither optional nor limited to a specific number of birds, an optional derogation such as that in Article 3(II) of Directive 71/118/EEC, limited to a specific number of birds, should be retained for Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90.
(5) Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 contains a reference to Commission Directive 80/879/EEC of 3 September 1980 on the health marking of large packagings of poultrymeat (9). That Directive has been repealed by Council Directive 92/116/EEC of 17 December 1992 amending and updating Directive 71/118/EEC on health problems affecting trade in fresh poultrymeat (10). That reference is redundant and should be deleted.
(6) Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 should therefore be amended accordingly, | [
"Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 is hereby amended as follows:\n1. Article 1 is amended as follows:\n(a) paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:\n(a) to poultrymeat for export from the Community;\n(b) to delayed eviscerated poultry as referred to in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (11).\n(b) the following paragraph is inserted:\n2. Article 2 is amended as follows:\n(a) point 2 is replaced by the following:\n‘2. “carcass” means: the whole body of a bird of the species referred to in Article 1(1) after bleeding, plucking, and evisceration; however, removal of the kidneys shall be optional; an eviscerated carcass may be presented for sale with or without giblets, meaning heart, liver, gizzard and neck, inserted into the abdominal cavity;’;\n(b) point 4 is replaced by the following:\n‘4. “pre-packaged poultrymeat” means: poultrymeat presented in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 1(3)(b) of Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs (12).\n3. In Article 4, the introductory words are replaced by the following:\n4. Article 5 is amended as follows:\n(a) in paragraph 1 ‘Directive 79/112/EEC’ is replaced by ‘Directive 2000/13/EC’;\n(b) paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:\n(c) in paragraph 3, point (d) is replaced by the following:\n‘(d) the approval number of the slaughterhouse or cutting plant given in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004, except in the case of cutting and boning at the place of sale as provided for in Article 4(2)(d) of that Regulation’;\n(d) paragraphs 4 and 5 are replaced by the following:\n5. Article 6 is replaced by the following:",
"This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.\nThis Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States."

of 11 March 2008
establishing the European Statistical Governance Advisory Board
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (1),
Whereas:
(1) The need to establish Europe-wide standards on the independence, integrity and accountability of the national and Community statistical authorities led the Statistical Programme Committee established by Council Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom (2), unanimously to endorse, at its meeting on 24 February 2005, the European Statistics Code of Practice (hereinafter referred to as the Code of Practice) as presented in the Recommendation of the Commission of 25 May 2005 on the independence, integrity and accountability of the national and Community statistical authorities.
(2) The Code of Practice has the dual purpose of improving trust and confidence in statistical authorities by proposing certain institutional and organisational arrangements on the one hand and reinforcing the quality of the statistics they produce on the other.
(3) In the Communication of 25 May 2005 to the European Parliament and to the Council on the independence, integrity and accountability of the national and Community statistical authorities, the Commission acknowledged the usefulness of an external advisory body that could play an active role in overseeing how the Code of Practice is implemented by the European Statistical System as a whole. In its Recommendation of 25 May 2005, the Commission stated its intention to consider proposing the establishment of such an external advisory body.
(4) On 8 November 2005, the Council concluded that a new high-level advisory body would enhance the independence, integrity and accountability of the Commission (Eurostat) and, in the context of the peer review assessment of implementing the Code of Practice, of the European Statistical System. The Council recommended that the body should be a small group of independent persons appointed on the basis of their competence.
(5) The members of that body should provide a complementary mix of skills and experience, drawing, for example, on people from academia and those with national and/or international professional experience in the field of statistics.
(6) The body should establish an assessment for the Commission (Eurostat) on the implementation of the Code of Practice analogous to the peer review of National Statistical Offices.
(7) A dialogue with the Statistical Programme Committee and the European Statistical Advisory Committee, established by Decision No 234/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), on the Code of Practice, and also with Member States’ stakeholder bodies, should be encouraged where appropriate.
(8) An advisory board should therefore be established, and its tasks and structure defined, without prejudice to Article 5 of the Protocol on the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, | [
"Advisory Board\nThe European Statistical Governance Advisory Board (hereinafter referred to as the Board) is hereby established. The purpose of the Board shall be to provide an independent overview of the European Statistical System as regards the implementation of the European Statistics Code of Practice (hereinafter referred to as the Code of Practice).",
"Tasks\n1. The Board’s tasks shall be to:\n(a) prepare an annual report for the European Parliament and the Council on the implementation of the Code of Practice insofar as it relates to the Commission (Eurostat) and to transmit that report to the Commission prior to submitting it to the European Parliament and to the Council;\n(b) include in that annual report an assessment of the implementation of the Code of Practice in the European Statistical System as a whole;\n(c) advise the Commission on appropriate measures to facilitate the implementation of the Code of Practice insofar as it relates to the Commission (Eurostat) and to the European Statistical System as a whole;\n(d) advise the Commission (Eurostat) on communicating the Code of Practice to users and data providers;\n(e) advise the Commission (Eurostat) and the Statistical Programme Committee as regards updating the Code of Practice.\n2. The Board may advise the Commission and shall respond to the Commission as regards questions relating to user confidence in European statistics, in compliance with the tasks laid down under paragraph 1.",
"Membership of the Board\n1. The Board shall comprise seven members, including its chairperson. The Board’s members shall act independently. The Commission (Eurostat) shall be represented as an observer.\n2. The members of the Board shall be selected from among experts possessing outstanding competence in the field of statistics, shall perform their duties in their personal capacity, and shall be selected to provide a range of complementary skills and experience.\n3. After consulting the Commission, the Council shall select, and the European Parliament shall approve, the nomination of the chairperson of the Board.\nThe chairperson shall not be a current member of either a National Statistical Office or the Commission and shall have held no such post within the last two years.\nAfter consulting the Commission, the European Parliament and the Council shall each appoint three members of the Board.\n4. The term of office for the chairperson and members of the Board shall be three years, renewable once.\n5. If a member resigns before the expiry of his or her term of office, he or she shall be replaced by a new member, appointed in accordance with this Article, who shall serve a full term.",
"Proceedings\n1. The Board shall adopt its own rules of procedure, which shall be made public.\n2. The Board’s annual report, referred to in Article 2(1)(a), shall be made public after submission to the European Parliament and to the Council. In addition, the Board may decide to publish any conclusion, partial conclusion or working document, provided that it has been communicated in advance to the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission (Eurostat) and any other body involved, with an adequate opportunity for response.\n3. Without prejudice to Article 287 of the Treaty, Board members shall be required not to disclose information to which they have gained access through the Board’s proceedings if the Commission informs them that such information is justifiably of a confidential nature or that responding to a request for an opinion or a question raised would lead to the disclosure of such confidential information.\n4. The Board shall be assisted by a secretariat, which shall be provided by the Commission but which must act independently thereof. The Board’s secretary shall be appointed by the Commission after consulting the Board. The secretary shall act on the instructions of the Board.\n5. The expenses of the Board shall be included in the budgetary estimates of the Commission.",
"A review of the role and effectiveness of the Board shall be conducted three years after its establishment.",
"This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union."

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 provides for the establishment for the beef and veal sector of the quantities of the specific supply balances for the Azores and Madeira regarding beef and veal and pure-bred breeding animals;
Whereas the quantities in the forecast supply balance for those products are fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1913/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1329/96 (4);

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 provides for the establishment for the beef and veal sector of the quantities of the specific supply balances for the Azores and Madeira regarding beef and veal and pure-bred breeding animals;
Whereas the quantities in the forecast supply balance for those products are fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1913/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1329/96 (4);
Whereas, pending a communication from the competent authorities updating the needs of the regions in question and so as not to interrupt the application of the specific supply arrangements, the balance for the period 1 July to 31 December 1997 should be adopted;
Whereas the level of the aid for the products included in the forecast supply balance and coming from the Community market is fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 1913/92;
Whereas application of the criteria for fixing the amount of Community aid to the current market situation in the sector in question and, in particular, to the exchange rates and prices for those products in the European part of the Community and on the world market, gives rise to aid for the supply of the Azores and Madeira with beef and veal sector products at the levels fixed in the Annex hereto;
Whereas, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92, the supply arrangements are applicable from 1 July; whereas the provisions of this Regulation should therefore apply immediately;

Having regard to Decisions 95/252/EC (2) and 98/198/EC (3),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 27(1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorise any Member State to introduce or extend special measures for derogation from that directive in order to simplify the procedure for charging the tax or to prevent certain types of tax evasion or avoidance;
Whereas, by letter registered with the Commission's Secretariat-General on 20 July 1998, the United Kingdom Government requested authorisation to extend application of the derogation previously granted to it by Decision 95/252/EC and Decision 98/198/EC;
Whereas the other Member States were informed on 22 September 1998 of the United Kingdom's request;
Whereas the derogation in question is designed, firstly, to restrict to 50 % the right of the hirer or leasee of a passenger car to deduct the VAT on the hire or leasing transaction where the car is used for private purposes and, secondly, to waive the VAT payable on the private use of the car in question;
Whereas the legal and factual circumstances which justified granting authorisation to apply a derogation have not changed and still obtain;
Whereas on 17 June 1998 the Commission presented a proposal for a Council Directive amending the Sixth Directive as regards the rules governing the right to deduct VAT (4);
Whereas the objective of that proposal is to bring about an approximation of the limitations of the right to deduct VAT in order to reduce the disparities between the rules applicable in the Community, particularly where expenditure on passenger cars is concerned;
Whereas it is appropriate, therefore, to extend the period of the authorisation granted until the entry into force of the abovementioned Directive; whereas, however, the authorisation will expire on 31 December 2000 at the latest if the Directive has not entered into force by that date, enabling an assessment to be made at that time of the expediency of the derogation in the light of the discussions held within the Council on the proposal for a Directive;
Whereas the derogation has no adverse impact on the European Communities' own resources accruing from VAT, | [
"Article 3 of Decision 98/198/EC shall be replaced by the following:\n'Article 3\nThis authorisation shall expire on the date of the entry into force of the Community rules determining what expenditure is not to be eligible for the deduction of value-added tax, in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 17(6) of Directive 77/388/EEC, but on 31 December 2000 at the latest.`",

(3) In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 876/68 of 28 June 1968 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on milk and milk products and criteria for fixing the amounts for such refunds (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2429/72 (4), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas, in the interests of clarity, the following Regulations which need to be amended several times should be repealed and replaced by a single text: - Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1611/68 of 15 October 1968 making special provision for the lowest rate of the refund applicable to exports of certain cheeses to third countries (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2786/73 (6),

- Commission Regulation (EEC) No 518/76 of 8 March 1976 concerning the application of the lowest rate of refund on exports of milk products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2188/74 (8);
Whereas the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1324/68 of 29 August 1968 laying down special conditions for the export of certain cheese to Switzerland (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2786/73 (10), should be amended to take account of the fact that in future "Tilsit" and "Butterkäse" fall within subheading 04.04 E I b) 5 of the Common Customs Tariff when they are exported to non-member countries;
Whereas, where the rate of export refund varies according to destination, Article 11 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 192/75 of 17 January 1975 laying down detailed rules for the application of export refunds in respect of agricultural products (11), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1469/77 (12), provides that the part of the refund calculated on the basis of the lowest rate of refund applicable on the day on which customs export formalities are completed is to be paid on proof being furnished that the product has left the geographical territory of the Community;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 441/69 of 4 March 1969 laying down additional general rules for granting export refunds on products subject to a single price system, exported unprocessed or in the form of certain goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty (13), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 269/78 (14), provides in the second subparagraph of Article 2 (4) and in Article 3 (1) for the part of the refund calculated on the basis of the lowest rates to be paid as soon as the product has been brought under the special arrangement introduced by the said Regulation;
Whereas, under the special arrangements with several non-member countries, the refund rate applicable on export to these countries of certain milk products may be lower, sometimes to a substantial degree, than the refund level normally applied ; whereas it might also arise that no refund is fixed;
Whereas, as regards Switzerland, special arrangements have been introduced both by Regulation (EEC) No 1324/68 in respect of certain cheeses and by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2074/73 of 31 July 1973 establishing the special conditions for the export of processed cheese to Switzerland (15) ; whereas a special arrangement was also provided for Austria as regards heading No 04.04 by Commission Regulation (EEC) (1)OJ No L 148, 28.6.1968, p. 13.

Whereas the special arrangements for exports to Switzerland, Austria and Spain ensure that products which have received a refund for other destinations cannot be exported to these three countries ; whereas consequently, account should be taken of these special arrangements when applying the said provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 192/75 so as to avoid exporters having to bear unnecessary financial costs in trade with other non-member countries, by providing that, when determining the lowest rate of the refund, account should not be taken of the special refund rates fixed for the particular destinations in question at a level lower than that of the lowest refund applicable to other non-member countries ; whereas this exemption was provided for, except in the case of Austria, by Regulations (EEC) No 1611/68 and (EEC) No 1578/70;
Whereas the lowest rate of the refund can also result from the non-fixing of a refund;
Whereas as regards exports to the United States (Zone E) there exist cases of non-fixing of the refund for certain milk products ; whereas provision should also be made for an exemption when determining the lowest rate of the refund in cases where the measures introduced in the United States guarantee that the products which have benefited from a refund for other destinations may not be imported into Zone E ; whereas experience has shown that the products listed in Annex II to this Regulation may be covered by this exemption not only as regards the application of Article 11 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 192/76 but also that of Articles 2 (4) and 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 441/69 ; whereas these exemptions should be abolished for the products in respect of which the above conditions are no longer met ; whereas such a provision was provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 518/76;
Whereas the destination Zones D and E, corresponding to Spain and the United States respectively, have been defined in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1098/68 of 27 July 1968, on detailed rules for the application of export refunds on milk and milk products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 37/75 (5);

"The non-fixing of a refund or the special refund: - fixed for the export of the products listed in Annex I to one of the destinations listed therein, and\n- the rate of which is lower than the lowest rate fixed for the other destinations,\nshall not be taken into consideration when determining the lowest refund rate within the meaning of Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 192/75.",

No 102/78 of 18 January 1978, laying down special conditions for exports of certain cheeses to Austria (1) ; whereas a special refund rate also applies to cheeses exported to Spain (Zone D), pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1579/70 of 4 August 1970 laying down special conditions for the export of certain cheeses to Spain (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1300/76 (3);
Whereas the special arrangements for exports to Switzerland, Austria and Spain ensure that products which have received a refund for other destinations cannot be exported to these three countries ; whereas consequently, account should be taken of these special arrangements when applying the said provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 192/75 so as to avoid exporters having to bear unnecessary financial costs in trade with other non-member countries, by providing that, when determining the lowest rate of the refund, account should not be taken of the special refund rates fixed for the particular destinations in question at a level lower than that of the lowest refund applicable to other non-member countries ; whereas this exemption was provided for, except in the case of Austria, by Regulations (EEC) No 1611/68 and (EEC) No 1578/70;
Whereas the lowest rate of the refund can also result from the non-fixing of a refund;
Whereas as regards exports to the United States (Zone E) there exist cases of non-fixing of the refund for certain milk products ; whereas provision should also be made for an exemption when determining the lowest rate of the refund in cases where the measures introduced in the United States guarantee that the products which have benefited from a refund for other destinations may not be imported into Zone E ; whereas experience has shown that the products listed in Annex II to this Regulation may be covered by this exemption not only as regards the application of Article 11 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 192/76 but also that of Articles 2 (4) and 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 441/69 ; whereas these exemptions should be abolished for the products in respect of which the above conditions are no longer met ; whereas such a provision was provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 518/76;
Whereas the destination Zones D and E, corresponding to Spain and the United States respectively, have been defined in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1098/68 of 27 July 1968, on detailed rules for the application of export refunds on milk and milk products (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 37/75 (5);

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1769/92 of 29 June 1992 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1768/89 in respect of the definitive anti-dumping duty on certain imports of video cassettes originating in Hong Kong
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,
Whereas:
I. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 1768/89 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty of 21,9 % on imports of VHS video tape in cassettes (hereinafter referred to as 'video cassettes') falling within CN code ex 8523 13 00 and originating in Hong Kong, with the exception of imports from several exporters especially mentioned which were subject to a lesser rate of duty or exempt from duty.
(2) In recital 43 of Regulation (EEC) No 1768/89, concerning companies which started or will start exporting own-produced video cassettes to the Community after the investigation period (newcomers), the Council noted that the Commission is ready to initiate without delay a review proceeding if the exporting company can show the Commission, and supply to that effect sufficient evidence, that it did not export the products concerned tothe Community during the period of investigation. The company also has to demonstrate that it started or will start those exports after the said period and that it is not related to or associated with any of the companies subject to the investigation.
II. REVIEW PROCEDURE
(3) By a notice published in the Official Journal (3) on 12 October 1991, the Commission, after consultaion within the Advisory Committee and in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 initiated a review of Regulation (EEC) No 1768/89 as it concerned a Hong Kong company, Bico Magnetics Ltd. That company had submitted that it had not exported the products subject to the anti-dumping duty during the original period of investigation (1 January to 30 November 1987). In addition, it submitted that it was not related to any of the companies in respect of which dumping was found to have occurred in the previous investigation. Moreover, no evidence was found that it had ever exported video cassettes to the Community. Accordingly, the Commission commenced an investigation in order to verify whether Bico Magnetics Ltd could be considered as a newcomer and to establish a dumping margin, if any, for that company.
III. RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
1. Newcomer
(4) The investigation showed that Bico Magnetics Ltd had not previously exported or produced video cassettes which were exported to the Community and was now about to begin such exports. In addition, it was found that this company had no link of any sort with the exporters involved in the previous procedure and for which dumping was found to have occurred. The Council confirms that it should accordingly be considered as a newcomer and that a partial review of Regulation (EEC) No 1768/89, inasmuch as it concerned Bico Magnetics Ltd, was warrented.
2. Normal value
(5) Since Bico Magnetics Ltd did not sell any video cassettes on the domestic market during the investigation period for this review (from 1 January to 30 June 1991), normal value was determined on the basis of the constructed value of the product concerned in accordance with Article 2 (3) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. This constructed value was computed on the basis of all costs, both fixed and variable, in the country of origin of materials and manufacture for the models to be exported to the Community plus a reasonable amount for selling, administrative, other general expenses and profit.
(6) As far as selling, administrative and general expenses were concerned, they were calculated by reference to such expenses as they were stated in the audited accounts of Bico Magnetics Ltd. These costs corresponded to such costs incurred by other Hong Kong manufacturers for their sales of video cassettes on the domestic market, as established during previous investigations concerning video cassettes from Hong Kong.
As far as profit was concerned, it was found appropriate to apply a profit rate of 8 % on turnover; this rate was used in Regulation (EEC) No 1768/89 for the Hong Kong video cassette manufacturers and, according to the information available to the Commission, can still be regarded as the profit which Hong Kong companies can normally achieve on their domestic market. The Council confirms these findings.
(7) On this basis, normal value was established for the models produced and destined for export to the Community by Bico Magnetics Ltd, namely normal grade.
3. Measures
(8) Since it was found that Bico Magnetics Ltd had not exported video cassettes to the Community, no export price could be established for the product under consideration, and no dumping margin could be calculated.
(9) However, it is clear that if the export prices of the various models of video cassettes sold for export to the Community by Bico Magnetics Ltd at least equalled the normal value for the corresponding models, these products would not be dumped.
(10) In addition, this normal value is less than the target price determined for the Community industry in Regulation (EEC) No 1768/89.
(11) In these circumstances, it is considered that the measures to be imposed in respect of the imports to the Community of video cassettes produced by Bico Magnetics Ltd, should guarantee that the products are not sold to the Community at less than their normal value.
IV. AMENDMENT OF THE REVIEWED MEASURES
(12) Accordingly, it is considered appropriate that Regulation (EEC) No 1768/89 should be amended and that Bico Magnetics Ltd be exempted from the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on VHS video tapes in cassettes originating in Hong Kong in respect of the models E60, E90, E120, E180, E195 and E240, in normal grade, insofar as these models will be subject to a duty equal to the difference between minimum price set out for each of these models and their net price, free-at-Community frontier, before duty. The minimum price corresponds to the normal value duly adjusted to bring it to cif level.
(13) Bico Magnetics Ltd was informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the imposition of the anti-dumping duties was proposed, and was given an opportunity to comment on the proposal. No comments were made by exporting producer concerned.
(14) The complainants were also informed of the considerations and main facts on the basis of which the Council intended to amend Regulation (EEC) No 1768/89 and had not comment to make.
(15) Since this review is only limited to one Hong Kong producer, it does not prolong the validity of Regulation (EEC) No 1768/89 with regard to Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, | [
"The following subparagraph is hereby added to Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1768/89:\n'The entry specified in paragraph 2 (b) shall not apply to models of video tapes in cassettes E60-E90-E120, E180-E195-E240 in normal grade manufactured and sold for export to the Community by Bico Magnetics Ltd, Hong Kong (Taric additional Code 8292); these models shall be subject to an anti-dumping duty equal to the difference between the price specified below for each of the models concerned and their net price, free-at-Community-frontier, before duty for those models:\nE60 E90 E120 E180 E195 E240 ECU 0,70 ECU 0,83 ECU 0,96 ECU 1,22 ECU 1,29 ECU 1,48'",

Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 894/97 of 29 April 1997 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources (1) establishes a management framework for the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures in the form of a general overall length limitation of drift nets to maximum 2,5 km, as well as a prohibition to use or keep on board drift nets intended for the capture of certain species.

Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of the Council of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1628/91 (3), and in particular Article 15 (2) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3667/91 lays down the method for administering the Community tariff quota for frozen beef falling within CN code 0202 and for products falling within CN code 0206 29 91 and splits this quota into two parts, one of 42 400 tonnes apportioned between traditional importers and the other of 10 600 tonnes apportioned between the operators which have engaged in beef trade with third countries;
Whereas, in order to ensure a smooth switchover from the arrangements based on national administration to arrangements subject to Community administration, while taking into account the commercial peculiarities of the products in question, provision should be made for the allocation on a proportional basis of the first part to traditional importers who can prove that, during 1989, 1990 and 1991, they imported products covered by the quota; whereas, however, within the framework of the procedure based on the submission of applications from interested parties and their acceptance to the extent determined by the Commission, importers who can demonstrate the genuine nature of their business, and who apply for quantities of some significance should be granted access to the second part; whereas verification of the latter criterion requires that applications from a particular operator are to be submitted in the same Member State;
Whereas, in the light of the specific situation resulting from German unification, special rules should be laid down on access to the abovementioned second part by operators established in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic, in respect of the reference years to be taken into consideration;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 92/91 (5), lays down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agricultural products; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 839/91 (7), lays down special detailed rules on the system of import licences to the beef sector;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3667/91 lays down the method for administering the Community tariff quota for frozen beef falling within CN code 0202 and for products falling within CN code 0206 29 91 and splits this quota into two parts, one of 42 400 tonnes apportioned between traditional importers and the other of 10 600 tonnes apportioned between the operators which have engaged in beef trade with third countries;
Whereas, in order to ensure a smooth switchover from the arrangements based on national administration to arrangements subject to Community administration, while taking into account the commercial peculiarities of the products in question, provision should be made for the allocation on a proportional basis of the first part to traditional importers who can prove that, during 1989, 1990 and 1991, they imported products covered by the quota; whereas, however, within the framework of the procedure based on the submission of applications from interested parties and their acceptance to the extent determined by the Commission, importers who can demonstrate the genuine nature of their business, and who apply for quantities of some significance should be granted access to the second part; whereas verification of the latter criterion requires that applications from a particular operator are to be submitted in the same Member State;
Whereas, in the light of the specific situation resulting from German unification, special rules should be laid down on access to the abovementioned second part by operators established in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic, in respect of the reference years to be taken into consideration;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1513/2001(2), and in particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, where prices within the Community are higher than world market prices, the difference between these prices may be covered by a refund when olive oil is exported to third countries.
(2) The detailed rules for fixing and granting export refunds on olive oil are contained in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 616/72(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2962/77(4).
(3) Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund must be the same for the whole Community.
(4) In accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the refund for olive oil must be fixed in the light of the existing situation and outlook in relation to olive oil prices and availability on the Community market and olive oil prices on the world market. However, where the world market situation is such that the most favourable olive oil prices cannot be determined, account may be taken of the price of the main competing vegetable oils on the world market and the difference recorded between that price and the price of olive oil during a representative period. The amount of the refund may not exceed the difference between the price of olive oil in the Community and that on the world market, adjusted, where appropriate, to take account of export costs for the products on the world market.
(5) In accordance with Article 3(3) third indent, point (b) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, it may be decided that the refund shall be fixed by tender. The tendering procedure should cover the amount of the refund and may be limited to certain countries of destination, quantities, qualities and presentations.
(6) The second indent of Article 3(3) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the refund on olive oil may be varied according to destination where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.
(7) The refund must be fixed at least once every month. It may, if necessary, be altered in the intervening period.
(8) It follows from applying these detailed rules to the present situation on the market in olive oil and in particular to olive oil prices within the Community and on the markets of third countries that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 30 November 1994 authorizing the grant by the United Kingdom of aid to the coal industry for the year 1994 (Only the English text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (94/999/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
Having regard to Commission Decision No 3632/93/ECSC of 28 December 1993 establishing Community rules for State aid to the coal industry (1), and in particular Articles 2 (1) and 9 thereof,
Whereas:
I The United Kingdom notified the Commission by letter of 13 July 1994 of the financial support which it intends to grant to the coal industry in 1994, in accordance with Article 9 (1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC. By letter of 12 September 1994, the United Kingdom also submitted further information in response to the Commission's request of 9 August 1994.
In accordance with Decision No 3632/93/ECSC the Commission is required to take a decision on a specific financial measure, namely aid for the year 1994 totalling £ 230 000 granted to Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd to cover operating losses.
The financial support, proposed by Lothian Regional Council, falls within the scope of Article 1 (1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.
The Commission is therefore required to decide, in accordance with Article 9 of the Decision, whether the support is in conformity with the objectives and criteria of the Decision and is compatible with the proper functioning of the common market.
II By Decision 94/574/ECSC (2), the Commission gave a favourable opinion on the conformity of the modernization, rationalization and restructuring plan notified by the United Kingdom with the general and specific objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.
In accordance with that same Decision, the Commission authorized the United Kingdom to carry over to the final quarter of the 1993/94 financial year and to the 1994/95 financial year the provision authorized until 31 December 1993 for sums totalling respectively 2 187 759,71 and £ 116 354 577,43 so that the operating aid may cover the operating losses of underground coalmining undertakings, which include Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd.
By notification of 13 July 1994, the United Kingdom submitted to the Commission the refinancing plan of Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd. This plan aims to refinance the company and to open a second work face which should improve productivity and lead to a reduction in the cost of production per tonne.
By letter of 12 September 1994, the United Kingdom informed the Commission that Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd forecast a negative result in its operating account of £ 1 115 554 for an estimated amount of 520 000 tonnes of coal produced. This loss can be explained by the poor results in the first half of the year before the technical and financial measures of the aforementioned plan had been implemented.
Operating aid totalling £ 230 000 aimed at covering operating losses must be evaluated in accordance with the aims of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and particularly with those set out in Article 2 (1). Given coal prices on the international markets, this support will enable Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd to make new progress towards economic viability and thus to stabilize in the future. The support will also help to solve social and regional problems created by reductions in the activity of production units in the Lothian area.
The proposed aid, together with that approved pursuant to Decision 94/574/ECSC, does not exceed, for each tonne produced, the difference between production costs and the average foreseeable revenue for the year 1994. It is therefore in compliance with the first indent of Article 3 (1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.
The coal produced by Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd will be largely bought by Scottish Power plc, under a contract covering the period 1 April 1993 to 31 March 1998. The amount of operating aid per tonne will not cause delivered prices for Community coal to be lower than those for coal of a similar quality from third countries. The aid must not entail distortions of competition between coal users. The United Kingdom supplied to the Commission the information required to calculate the forecast costs of production and receipts per tonne. The information notified by the United Kingdom Government has therefore allowed verification that the conditions of the third, fourth and fifth indents of Article 3 (1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC are met in full.
Aid to cover operating losses at Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd aims to facilitate the modernization, rationalization and restructuring plan of the British coalmining industry.
In the light of the foregoing and on the basis of the information supplied by the United Kingdom, the proposed aid for current production at Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market.
III In accordance with the second indent of Article 3 (1) and Article 9 (2) and (3) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission will ensure that the aid authorized for current production complies with the aims set out in Articles 3 and 4 of the Decision. To this end, it must be informed of the amount paid and how it is distributed, | [
"The United Kingdom is hereby authorized to grant Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd the sum of £ 230 000.",
"The United Kingdom shall inform the Commission, before 30 September 1995 of the amount actually paid as a result of this Decision.",
"This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."

The amount of operating aid per tonne will not cause delivered prices for Community coal to be lower than those for coal of a similar quality from third countries. The aid must not entail distortions of competition between coal users. The United Kingdom supplied to the Commission the information required to calculate the forecast costs of production and receipts per tonne. The information notified by the United Kingdom Government has therefore allowed verification that the conditions of the third, fourth and fifth indents of Article 3 (1) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC are met in full.
Aid to cover operating losses at Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd aims to facilitate the modernization, rationalization and restructuring plan of the British coalmining industry.
In the light of the foregoing and on the basis of the information supplied by the United Kingdom, the proposed aid for current production at Monktonhall Mineworkers Ltd is compatible with the objectives of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC and with the proper functioning of the common market.
III In accordance with the second indent of Article 3 (1) and Article 9 (2) and (3) of Decision No 3632/93/ECSC, the Commission will ensure that the aid authorized for current production complies with the aims set out in Articles 3 and 4 of the Decision. To this end, it must be informed of the amount paid and how it is distributed, | 328 |

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1183/2006
of 24 July 2006
concerning the Community scale for the classification of carcasses of adult bovine animals
(codified version)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 of 28 April 1981 determining the Community scale for the classification of carcasses of adult bovine animals (3) has been substantially amended (4). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) A Community grading scale for the classification of carcasses of adult bovine animals should be applied for recording prices and for intervention in the beef and veal sector.
(3) The classification of carcasses of adult bovine animals should be made on the basis of conformation and the degree of fat cover. The combination of these two criteria enables carcasses to be divided into classes. Carcasses thus classified should be identified.
(4) In order to ensure the uniform application of this Regulation in the Community, provision should be made for on-the-spot checks by a Community inspection committee, | [
"This Regulation provides for a Community classification scale for the carcasses of adult bovine animals.",
"For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:\n(a) ‘carcass’: the whole body of a slaughtered animal as presented after bleeding, evisceration and skinning, presented:\n— without the head and without the feet; the head shall be separated from the carcass at the atloido-occipital joint and the feet shall be severed at the carpametacarpal or tarsometatarsal joints,\n— without the organs contained in the thoracic and abdominal cavities with or without the kidneys, the kidney fat and the pelvic fat,\n— without the sexual organs and the attached muscles and without the udder or the mammary fat;\n(b) ‘half-carcass’: the product obtained by separating the carcass referred to in point (a) symmetrically through the middle of each cervical, dorsal, lumbar and sacral vertebra and through the middle of the sternum and the ischiopubic symphysis.",
"For the purpose of establishing market prices, the carcass shall be presented without the removal of external fat, the neck being cut in accordance with veterinary requirements:\n— without kidneys, kidney fat, or pelvic fat,\n— without thin skirt or thick skirt,\n— without the tail,\n— without the spinal cord,\n— without cod fat,\n— without fat on the inside of topside,\n— without jugular vein and the adjacent fat.\nHowever, Member States shall be authorised to accept different presentations when this reference presentation is not used.\nIn such instances, the adjustments necessary to progress from those presentations to the reference presentation shall be determined in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 43(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (5).",
"1. Without prejudice to the intervention rules applying, the carcasses of adult bovine animals shall be divided into the following categories:\nA. carcasses of uncastrated young male animals of less than two years of age;\nB. carcasses of other uncastrated male animals;\nC. carcasses of castrated male animals;\nD. carcasses of female animals that have calved;\nE. carcasses of other female animals.\nCriteria shall be laid down for differentiating between categories of carcasses in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 43(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999.\n2. The carcasses of adult bovine animals shall be classified by successive assessment of:\n(a) conformation, as defined in Annex I;\n(b) fat cover, as defined in Annex II.\n3. The conformation class designated in Annex I by the letter S may be used by Member States to take account, through the optional introduction of a conformation class superior to the existing classes (double-muscled carcasses), of the characteristics or expected development of a particular form of production.\nMember States which intend to make use of this possibility shall notify the Commission and the other Member States accordingly.\n4. Member States shall be authorised to subdivide each of the classes provided for in Annexes I and II into a maximum of three subclasses.",
"1. Carcasses or half-carcasses shall be classified as soon as possible after slaughter and such classification shall be carried out in the slaughterhouse itself.\n2. The classified carcasses or half-carcasses shall be identified.\n3. Before identification by marking, Member States shall be authorised to have the external fat removed from the carcasses or half-carcasses if this is justified by the fat cover.\nThe conditions in which removal of the external fat will be applied shall be determined in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 43(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999.",
"1. On-the-spot inspections shall be carried out by a Community inspection committee composed of experts from the Commission and experts appointed by the Member States. This Committee shall report back to the Commission on the inspections carried out.\nThe Commission shall, if appropriate, take the measures necessary to ensure that the classification is carried out in a uniform manner.\nThose inspections shall be carried out on behalf of the Community, which shall bear the resulting costs.\n2. The detailed rules for applying paragraph 1 shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 43(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999.",
"Additional provisions specifying the definition of the classes of conformation and fat cover shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 43(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999.",
"Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 shall be repealed.\nReferences to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table given in Annex IV.",
"This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.\nThis Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States."

laying down the detailed arrangements for the integration of the Schengen Secretariat into the General Secretariat of the Council
(1999/307/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION | ,
Having regard to the Protocol integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) pursuant to the aforementioned Protocol, the agreements and rules containing the Schengen acquis are to be incorporated into the framework of the European Union;
(2) pursuant to Article 7 of that Protocol, it is up to the Council, acting by a qualified majority, to adopt the detailed arrangements for the integration of the Schengen Secretariat into the General Secretariat of the Council;
(3) the aim of this integration is to ensure that, when the Schengen acquis is integrated into the framework of the European Union, application and development of the provisions relating to the acquis continue in conditions which ensure they function properly;
(4) the detailed arrangements for this integration should make it possible, on the one hand, to limit recruitment to the administrative needs arising for the General Secretariat of the Council from the new tasks it will have to perform and, on the other hand, to check the competence, efficiency and integrity of those recruited;
(5) the general budget of the European Communities for the financial year 1999 has made provision for the necessary permanent posts, broken down into category and grade, within the General Secretariat of the Council;
(6) the staff complement thus determined is necessary and sufficient to enable the General Secretariat of the Council to cope efficiently with the needs arising from integration of the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union;
(7) it is necessary, by way of derogation from the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities, hereafter referred to as "the Staff Regulations", to adopt the arrangements necessary to enable the Appointing Authority (IAA) to appoint those concerned as probationer officials of the European Communities at the General Secretariat of the Council, with the appointments taking effect from the date of entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam;
(8) such appointments should be subject to compliance by each of those concerned with certain conditions; such appointments should also be subject to the provision of supporting documents proving that those concerned were employed in various capacities at the Schengen Secretariat on the date on which the Treaty of Amsterdam was signed (2 October 1997), i.e. the date on which it was decided in principle to carry out that integration; and proving that those concerned were still employed there on the date of entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam (1 May 1999) and were actually performing duties involved in applying and developing the Schengen acquis, assisting the Presidency and delegations, managing financial and budget matters, translating and/or interpreting, documentation or secretarial work, with the exception of technical or administrative duties for which the administrative needs do not require additional recruitment to the General Secretariat of the Council;
(9) it is also necessary to ensure, before those concerned are appointed as probationer officials, that they provide all supporting or other documents, diplomas, qualifications or certificates, which prove that they have the level of qualification or experience required to perform the duties involved in the category or service into which they are to be integrated;
(10) it is also necessary to specify that those recruited will, in accordance with Article 34 of the Staff Regulations, be obliged to serve a probationary period designed to check their ability to perform their duties satisfactorily, and that any decisions taken by the AA following the probationary period will be taken after consulting an ad hoc Committee appointed by the AA on which the Staff Committee of the General Secretariat of the Council may be represented, | [
"1. The aim of this Decision is to determine the detailed arrangements for the integration of the Schengen Secretariat into the General Secretariat of the Council.\n2.

"By way of derogation from the Staff Regulations and subject to a check on compliance with the conditions specified in Article 3 of this Decision, the Appointing Authority (AA) within the meaning of Article 2 of the Staff Regulations may appoint to the General Secretariat of the Council the persons referred to in Article 1 of this Decision as probationer officials of the European Communities within the meaning of the Staff Regulations and allocate them to one of the posts included to that end in the staff complement of the General Secretariat of the Council for the 1999 financial year in the category, service, grade and step determined in accordance with the correlation table annexed hereto.",
"The AA may make the appointments provided for in Article 2 after checking that the persons concerned:\n(a) are nationals of one of the Member States;\n(b) have fulfilled any obligations concerning statutory military service;\n(c) produce the necessary character references for the performance of their duties;\n(d) are physically fit to perform such duties;\n(e) provide the supporting documents proving that:\n(i) they were employed at the Schengen Secretariat on 2 October 1997 either as a member of the Benelux College of Secretaries-General incorporated into the Schengen Secretariat, or as a member of staff having an employment contract with the Benelux Economic Union, or as a statutory member of staff of the Benelux Secretariat incorporated into the Schengen Secretariat and were actually performing duties there,\n(ii) they were still employed at the Schengen Secretariat on 1 May 1999, and\n(iii) they were actually performing duties at the Schengen Secretariat on the dates referred to in (i) and (ii), involved in applying and developing the Schengen acquis, assisting the Presidency and delegations, managing financial and budget matters, translating and/or interpreting, documentation or secretarial work, with the exception of technical or administrative backup duties;\n(f) provide all supporting or other documents, diplomas, qualifications or certificates proving that they have the level of qualification or experience required to perform the duties in the category or service into which they are to be integrated.",
"1. The persons appointed on the basis of Article 3 of this Decision will be obliged, in accordance with the provisions of Article 34 of the Staff Regulations and of this Article, to serve a probationary period designed to check their ability to perform the duties satisfactorily pertaining to their posts and also their efficiency and conduct in the service.\n2. Any probationer officials who do not demonstrate sufficient professional skills to be appointed permanently shall be dismissed.\n3. Any decisions to be taken by the AA following the probationary period shall be taken after consulting an ad hoc Committee appointed by the AA to which the Staff Committee of the General Secretariat of the Council may delegate a representative. The opinion of this ad hoc committee shall be without prejudice to the role of the Reports Committee provided for by Article 34 of the Staff Regulations.",
"This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.\nIt shall apply as from 1 May 1999.",

Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 303 of the Act provides in particular that, where, during the specified periods of application, the Community forward estimate for raw sugar for a given marketing year or part thereof shows that the availability of raw sugar is insufficient to ensure adequate supply of Portuguese refineries, Portugal may be authorized to import from third countries under the marketing year or part thereof concerned, the quantities which it is estimated are lacking, under the same conditions regarding the reduced levy as those provided for in respect of the quantities to be imported from the ACP States in question; whereas the forward estimate, for the period from 1 July 1988 to 30 June 1989 showed that the foreseeable shortfall could be fixed in a first stage by Commission Decision 88/462/EEC (4) at 120 000 tonnes to be imported from third countries in respect of the period 1 July 1988 to 31 January 1989; whereas the actual quantities of raw sugar available in the Community, and in particular production in the French department of RĂŠunion, and quantities available for refining are now known; whereas the remainder of the shortfall in respect of the period 1 February to 30 June 1989 should accordingly be fixed;
Whereas, in order to ensure sound management of the markets in the sector and, in particular, effective control of operations, it is necessary firstly to apply to the sugar concerned the normal rules for performance of the customs formalities for import and, secondly, to provide for notification by Portugal of the quantities of raw sugar imported and refined within the meaning of this Decision;
Whereas the Management Committee for Sugar has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman, | [
"Portugal is hereby authorized to import from third countries during the period 1 February to 30 June 1989 a quantity of raw sugar equivalent to 15 000 tonnes of white sugar, at the reduced levy determined in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 600/86.",
"1. The import licences for the raw sugar referred to in Article 1 shall be valid from the date of issue until 30 June 1989.\n2. The application for the licence referred to in paragraph 1 must be made to the competent authority in Portugal, during the 1988/89 marketing year, and must be accompanied by a declaration from a refiner in which he undertakes to refine the quantity of raw sugar concerned in Portugal within six months following the month in which the customs import formalities take place.\nIf the sugar in question is not refined within the prescribed time limit the importer must pay an amount equal to the difference between the threshold price and the intervention price for raw sugar applicable on the day of acceptance of the import declaration concerned.\n3. The application for the import licence and the licence itself shall include in box 12 the following:\n'import of raw sugar at reduced levy in accordance with Decision 87/429/EEC'.\n4. The rate of deposit applicable to the licence referred to in paragraph 1 is hereby fixed at ECU 0,25 for each 100 kilograms of sugar net.",
"If the volume of applications for licences exceeds the quantity provided for in Article 1, Portugal shall proceed with a fair apportionment of this quantity among the applicants concerned.",
"Portugal shall communicate to the Commission each month in respect of the previous month:\n(a) the quantities of raw sugar expressed by weight 'tel quel' for which the licences referred to in Article 2 have been issued;\n(b) the quantities of raw sugar, expressed by weight 'tel quel' actually imported under the licences referred to in Article 2;\n(c) the total quantities of sugar in question, by weight 'tel quel' and expressed as white sugar, which have been refined.",

suspending the definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1683/2004 on imports of glyphosate originating in the People’s Republic of China
(2009/383/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 14(4) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) Following a review investigation carried out in accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation (review investigation), the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1683/2004 (2) imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of glyphosate originating in the People’s Republic of China, presently falling within CN codes ex 2931 00 95 (TARIC code 2931009582) and ex 3808 93 27 (TARIC code 3808932719) (the product concerned), as extended to imports of glyphosate consigned from Malaysia (whether declared as originating in Malaysia or not) (TARIC codes 2931009581 and 3808932711) with the exception of those produced by Crop protection (M) Sdn. Bhd., Lot 746, Jalan Haji Sirat 4½ Miles, off Jalan Kapar, 42100 Klang, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia (TARIC additional code A309) and as extended to imports of glyphosate consigned from Taiwan (whether declared as originating in Taiwan or not) (TARIC codes 2931009581 and 3808932711) with the exception of those produced by Sinon Corporation, No 23, Sec. 1, Mei Chuan W. Rd, Taichung, Taiwan (TARIC additional code A310). The rate of the anti-dumping duty is 29,9 %.
(2) Audace, an association of users and distributors of the product concerned, has submitted information on a change of market conditions which occurred after the expiry review investigation period (i.e. from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2002), and alleged that such changes would justify the suspension of the measures currently in force, in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation. Consequently, the Commission examined whether such suspension was warranted.
B. GROUNDS
(3) Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation provides that, in the Community interest, anti-dumping measures may be suspended on the grounds that market conditions have temporarily changed to an extent that injury would be unlikely to resume as a result of such suspension, provided that the Community industry has been given an opportunity to comment and these comments have been taken into account. Article 14(4) further specifies that the anti-dumping measures concerned may be reinstated at any time if the reason for suspension is no longer applicable.
(4) With regard to the Community industry, it is noted that its situation has improved up to the first half of 2008. Due to a strong increase in prices on the EU market, an increase of the sales volume and value, and the relatively stable production costs, profits expressed as a percentage of turnover have increased significantly. These positive trends are confirmed by more recent figures for the main Community producer, which represents the large majority of the Community industry’s production and sales volume. On the basis of the market information currently available, it is not expected that this situation will change substantially in the event of a suspension of the measures.
(5) The Community industry has confirmed that, currently, the level of its prices on the EU market remains generally unchanged although export prices from the People’s Republic of China have dropped substantially since July 2008.
(6) The increasing production capacity and output in the People’s Republic of China could have a downward effect on EU glyphosate prices in the medium or long term. However, current information shows that this effect is expected to be to a large extent absorbed by a growing global demand.
(7) No indications have been found as to why the suspension would not be in the Community interest.
(8) In conclusion, given the temporary change in market conditions, and in particular the current level of prices on the Community market, together with the current high profit levels of the Community industry notwithstanding decreasing export prices from the People’s Republic of China in recent months, it is considered that the injury linked to the imports of the product concerned originating in the People’s Republic of China is unlikely to resume as a result of the suspension. It is therefore proposed to suspend for nine months, in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation, the measures in force.
C. CONSULTATION OF THE COMMUNITY INDUSTRY
(9) Pursuant to Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation, the Commission has informed the Community industry of its intention to suspend the anti-dumping measures in force. The Community industry has been given an opportunity to comment and their comments were taken into account.
D. CONCLUSION
(10) The Commission therefore considers that all requirements for suspending the anti-dumping duty imposed on the product concerned are met, in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation. Consequently, the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1683/2004 should be suspended for a period of nine months.

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 14(4) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) Following a review investigation carried out in accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation (review investigation), the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1683/2004 (2) imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of glyphosate originating in the People’s Republic of China, presently falling within CN codes ex 2931 00 95 (TARIC code 2931009582) and ex 3808 93 27 (TARIC code 3808932719) (the product concerned), as extended to imports of glyphosate consigned from Malaysia (whether declared as originating in Malaysia or not) (TARIC codes 2931009581 and 3808932711) with the exception of those produced by Crop protection (M) Sdn. Bhd., Lot 746, Jalan Haji Sirat 4½ Miles, off Jalan Kapar, 42100 Klang, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia (TARIC additional code A309) and as extended to imports of glyphosate consigned from Taiwan (whether declared as originating in Taiwan or not) (TARIC codes 2931009581 and 3808932711) with the exception of those produced by Sinon Corporation, No 23, Sec. 1, Mei Chuan W. Rd, Taichung, Taiwan (TARIC additional code A310). The rate of the anti-dumping duty is 29,9 %.
(2) Audace, an association of users and distributors of the product concerned, has submitted information on a change of market conditions which occurred after the expiry review investigation period (i.e. from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2002), and alleged that such changes would justify the suspension of the measures currently in force, in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation. Consequently, the Commission examined whether such suspension was warranted.
B. GROUNDS
(3) Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation provides that, in the Community interest, anti-dumping measures may be suspended on the grounds that market conditions have temporarily changed to an extent that injury would be unlikely to resume as a result of such suspension, provided that the Community industry has been given an opportunity to comment and these comments have been taken into account. Article 14(4) further specifies that the anti-dumping measures concerned may be reinstated at any time if the reason for suspension is no longer applicable.
(4) With regard to the Community industry, it is noted that its situation has improved up to the first half of 2008. Due to a strong increase in prices on the EU market, an increase of the sales volume and value, and the relatively stable production costs, profits expressed as a percentage of turnover have increased significantly. These positive trends are confirmed by more recent figures for the main Community producer, which represents the large majority of the Community industry’s production and sales volume. On the basis of the market information currently available, it is not expected that this situation will change substantially in the event of a suspension of the measures.
(5) The Community industry has confirmed that, currently, the level of its prices on the EU market remains generally unchanged although export prices from the People’s Republic of China have dropped substantially since July 2008.
(6) The increasing production capacity and output in the People’s Republic of China could have a downward effect on EU glyphosate prices in the medium or long term. However, current information shows that this effect is expected to be to a large extent absorbed by a growing global demand.
(7) No indications have been found as to why the suspension would not be in the Community interest.
(8) In conclusion, given the temporary change in market conditions, and in particular the current level of prices on the Community market, together with the current high profit levels of the Community industry notwithstanding decreasing export prices from the People’s Republic of China in recent months, it is considered that the injury linked to the imports of the product concerned originating in the People’s Republic of China is unlikely to resume as a result of the suspension. It is therefore proposed to suspend for nine months, in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation, the measures in force.
C. CONSULTATION OF THE COMMUNITY INDUSTRY
(9) Pursuant to Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation, the Commission has informed the Community industry of its intention to suspend the anti-dumping measures in force. The Community industry has been given an opportunity to comment and their comments were taken into account.
D. CONCLUSION
(10) The Commission therefore considers that all requirements for suspending the anti-dumping duty imposed on the product concerned are met, in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation. Consequently, the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1683/2004 should be suspended for a period of nine months.
(11) Should the situation which led to the suspension change subsequently, the Commission may reinstate the anti-dumping measures by repealing the suspension of the anti-dumping duties forthwith, | 364 |

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation) and in particular Article 11(4) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. REQUEST FOR A REVIEW
(1) The Commission has received an application for a ‘new exporter’ review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation. The application was lodged by Pantech Steel Industries SDN BHD (the applicant), an exporting producer in Malaysia (the country concerned).
B. PRODUCT
(2) The product under review is tube and pipe fittings (other than cast fittings, flanges and threaded fittings), of iron or steel (not including stainless steel), with a greatest external diameter not exceeding 609,6 mm, of a kind used for butt-welding or other purposes, originating in Malaysia (the product concerned), currently falling within CN codes ex 7307 93 11, ex 7307 93 19, ex 7307 99 30 and ex 7307 99 90.
C. EXISTING MEASURES
(3) The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1001/2008 (2) under which imports into the Community of the product concerned originating in Malaysia, including the product concerned produced by the applicant, are subject to a definitive antidumping duty of 75 % with the exception of one company expressly mentioned which is subject to an individual duty rate.
D. GROUNDS FOR THE REVIEW
(4) The applicant alleges that it did not export the product concerned to the Community during the period of investigation on which the anti-dumping measures were based, i.e. the period from 1 April 2000 to 31 March 2001 (the original investigation period) and that it is not related to any of the exporting producers of the product concerned which are subject to the abovementioned anti-dumping measures.
(5) The applicant further alleges that it has entered into irrevocable contractual obligations to export the product concerned to the Community in the near future.
E. PROCEDURE
(6) Community producers known to be concerned have been informed of the above application and have been given an opportunity to comment. No comments have been received.
(7) Having examined the evidence available, the Commission concludes that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a ‘new exporter’ review, pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, with a view to determine the applicant’s individual margin of dumping and, should dumping be found, the level of the duty to which their imports of the product concerned into the Community should be subject.
(8) If it is determined that the applicant fulfils the requirements to have an individual duty established, it may be necessary to amend the rate of duty currently applicable to imports of the product concerned from companies not individually mentioned in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1001/2008.
(a) Questionnaires
In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send a questionnaire to the applicant.
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence.
Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing showing that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the parties making themselves known within the period provided for by the present Regulation.
F. REPEAL OF THE DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS
(9) Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned which are produced and sold for export to the Community by the applicant. At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a finding of dumping in respect of the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively from the date of the initiation of this review. The amount of the applicant’s possible future liabilities cannot be estimated at this stage of the proceeding.
G. TIME LIMITS
(10) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
(a) interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit the replies to the questionnaire mentioned in recital 8(a) of this Regulation or provide any other information to be taken into account during the investigation;
(b) interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.
H. NON-COOPERATION
(11) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
(12) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, of the facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially, and findings are therefore based on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.
I. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
(13) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (3).
J. HEARING OFFICER
(14) It is also noted that if interested parties consider that they are encountering difficulties in the exercise of their rights of defence, they may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of DG Trade. He acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission services, offering, where necessary, mediation on procedural matters affecting the protection of their interests in this investigation, in particular with regard to issues concerning access to the file, confidentiality, extension of time limits and the treatment of written and/or oral submission of views.

(8) If it is determined that the applicant fulfils the requirements to have an individual duty established, it may be necessary to amend the rate of duty currently applicable to imports of the product concerned from companies not individually mentioned in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1001/2008.
(a) Questionnaires
In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send a questionnaire to the applicant.
(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings
All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence.
Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing showing that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the parties making themselves known within the period provided for by the present Regulation.
F. REPEAL OF THE DUTY IN FORCE AND REGISTRATION OF IMPORTS
(9) Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the product concerned which are produced and sold for export to the Community by the applicant. At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, in order to ensure that, should the review result in a finding of dumping in respect of the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied retroactively from the date of the initiation of this review. The amount of the applicant’s possible future liabilities cannot be estimated at this stage of the proceeding.
G. TIME LIMITS
(10) In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:
(a) interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit the replies to the questionnaire mentioned in recital 8(a) of this Regulation or provide any other information to be taken into account during the investigation;
(b) interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.
H. NON-COOPERATION
(11) In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.
(12) Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, of the facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially, and findings are therefore based on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.
I. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
(13) It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (3).
J. HEARING OFFICER
(14) It is also noted that if interested parties consider that they are encountering difficulties in the exercise of their rights of defence, they may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of DG Trade. He acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission services, offering, where necessary, mediation on procedural matters affecting the protection of their interests in this investigation, in particular with regard to issues concerning access to the file, confidentiality, extension of time limits and the treatment of written and/or oral submission of views. For further information and contact details, interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer’s web pages on the website of DG Trade (http://ec.europa.eu/trade), | 368 |

Whereas Community experts have visited the regions in question to look at the situation and decide what safeguards are required to prevent any risk of introduction of the disease into the Community;
Whereas their findings indicate that Community measures are required; whereas national measures have been adopted in a number of Member States on imports of fruit and vegetables from certain South American third countries; whereas it is incumbent upon the Council therefore to adopt common rules which will protect the health of consumers, maintain market unity without unduly affecting trade between the third countries and the Community and prevent deflection of trade;
Whereas requirements to be met for imports of fruit and vegetables originating in, or consigned from, regions affected by cholera should be specified; whereas the list of these regions should therefore be determined and provision should be made for the origin or place of consignment of the products to be mentioned on the accompanying document;
Whereas these requirements should not be made applicable to products which, because of their characteristics, the treatment they are given or the length of time spent in transport present no risk of contamination;
Whereas, further, these requirements should not be made applicable to consignments of fruit and vegetables covered by suitable guarantees from the official authorities of the exporting third country; whereas it is necessary therefore to specify the recognized health authorities of the third countries in question;
Whereas Member States must be able to require presentation of health certificates made out by the authorities of the exporting third country; whereas the requirements pertaining to the drawing up and issuing of certificates must be specified;
Whereas experts from the Member States and from the Commission should make checks to see whether the health safeguards offered by the third countries concerned are applied effectively;

Whereas documentary or identification checks, as appropriate in each case, must be carried out on products intended for import when they first arrive in the Community; whereas such a check is required in order to guarantee free circulation within the Community; whereas sample checks may also be made in the Member State of consumption to ensure the absence of cholera vibrio;
Whereas a simplified procedure should be set up that will permit continual rapid updating of Community rules in line with changes in the epidemiological situation as regards cholera; whereas, to this end, a Commission ad hoc committee should be set up;

The chairman shall not vote.\nThe Commission shall adopt the measures envisaged if they are in accordance with the opinion of the committee.\nIf the measures envisaged are not in accordance with the opinion of the committee, or if no opinion is delivered, the Commission shall, without delay, submit to the Council a proposal relating to the measures to be taken. The Council shall act by a qualified majority.\nIf, on the expiry of a period of one month from the date of referral to the Council, the Council has not acted, the proposed measures shall be adopted by the Commission.",
"This Regulation shall enter into force on the 21st day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.\nIt shall expire two years after its entry into force.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 25 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the amended proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, by virtue of Article 25 of the Act of Accession, the Treaties and the acts of the institutions of the European Communities apply to the Canary Islands, subject to the derogations set out in that Article, in Article 155 and in Protocol 2 to the said Act;
Whereas these arrangements exclude the Canary Islands in particular from the Community's customs territory and from application of the common commercial policy, the common agricultural policy and the common fisheries policy; whereas experience has however shown that the development of the Canary Islands would be better served by their full integration into the common policies and the process of completing the internal market; whereas the arrangements laid down in the Act of Accession should therefore be amended and the Canary Islands integrated into the Community's customs territory;
Whereas, pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 25 (4) of the Act of Accession, the Council, at Spain's request, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, may decide unanimously to include the Canary Islands in the customs territory of the Community and to define the appropriate measures aimed at extending to the Canary Islands the provisions of Community law in force; whereas Spain made such a request on 7 March 1990 pursuant to the aforementioned
Article;
Whereas integration of the Canary Islands into all Community policies requires a gradual process over an appropriate transitional period, without prejudice to any special measures designed to take account of the specific constraints deriving from the remoteness of the Canary Islands, their island location and their historical economic and tax arrangements; whereas such measures will have to be the subject of a special programme of options specific to the remote and insular nature of the Canary Islands, to be adopted pursuant to this Regulation;
Whereas application of the common agricultural policy to the Canary Islands will make possible the free movement of products on the conditions applicable to mainland Spain (end of the transitional period: 31 December 1995) with the exception of the supplementary trade mechanisms as regards the supplying of the Canary Islands; whereas, in this framework, the free movement of products between the Canary Islands and the rest of Spain will be ensured; whereas full application of the common agricultural policy is subject to the entry into force of specific supply arrangements; whereas the application of this policy will have to be accompanied in addition by specific measures relating to the agricultural production of the Canary Islands; whereas it is therefore necessary to maintain the provisions of the Act of Accession relating to the application of the common agricultural policy to the Canary Islands until the entry into force of such supply arrangements with the exception of those governing the access of agricultural products originating in the Canary Islands to the other parts of the Community; whereas the provisions of Protocol 2 relating to bananas must remain in force;
Whereas it is necessary to apply the common fisheries policy to the Canary Islands on the entry into force of this Regulation on the conditions applicable to mainland Spain (end of the transitional period: 31 December 1995), subject to specific measures to be determined under existing legislation;
Whereas historical recognition of the Canaries' island status has been reflected in successive special economic and tax arrangements designed to compensate for the disadvantages deriving from the archipelago's geographical isolation;
Whereas, in this context, the strengthening of the Canary Islands' integration into the Community is not incompatible with the maintenance of indirect taxation specific to these islands, especially the exclusion of the Canary Islands from the territorial field of application of the common VAT system pursuant to Article 26 in conjunction with Annex I, V, 2 to the Act of Accession, amending Article 3 (2) of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC (4) and the continuing exclusion of the Canary Islands from the territorial field of application of the Directives concerning manufactured tobacco pursuant to Article 26 in conjunction with Annex I, V, 3 and 4 to the Act of Accession;
Whereas the Community takes favourable note of the aims of the reform initiated by Spain in respect of the tax aspects of the economic and tax arrangements for the Canary Islands; whereas this reform provides for the gradual introduction of up-to-date indirect taxation as an instrument of economic and social development and the financing of local budgets, creating the conditions for total integration into the Community at the end of a transitional period not exceeding 10 years;
Whereas, until 31 December 2000 at the latest, in two five-year stages as part of a dynamic process in conjunction with the gradual entry of the Canary Islands into the customs union, it is desirable to authorize a number of total or partial exemptions for local products from application of the new so-called 'arbitrio sur la production et sur les importations (APIM)' (tax on production and imports) tax, provided that these exemptions contribute to promotion of local activities; whereas, however, application of this charge should be suspended for products coming under the common agricultural policy until the application of that policy, it being understood that, when these products are imported from non-member countries, the provisions in force in the Canary Islands in respect of trade with such countries shall be maintained until the same date;
Whereas the dismantling of this charge will have to be accompanied by the gradual adoption of the common customs tariff as from the entry into force of this Regulation and for the same transitional period, so as to ensure the complete integration of the Canary Islands into the customs union by 31 December 2000;
Whereas, however, as regards products coming under the common agricultural policy, application of the Common Customs Tariff and other import duties is dependent on the entry into force of the specific measures to supply the Canary Islands with essential agricultural products; whereas at all events the gradual application of the Common Customs Tariff to the Canary Islands may be accompanied, where appropriate, by specific tariff measures or derogations from the common commercial policy for certain sensitive products; whereas such measures may also be taken in respect of the arrangements applicable to free zones;
Whereas the charge known as the 'arbitrio insular - tarifa especial' applicable to products supplied by other parts of the Community on the terms set out in Article 6 (3) of Protocol 2 shall not be extended beyond 31 December 1992 except as applied on a case-by-case basis, until 31 December 2000 at the latest, to be decided upon by the Council; whereas the levying of this charge on products imported into the Canary Islands from non-Community countries will have to be phased out from 1 January 1996 so that it is completely eliminated by 31 December 2000, without prejudice to obligations under existing arrangements;
Whereas provision should be made for the possibility of applying safeguard measures until 31 December 1999 at the latest, | [
"The provisions of the Treaties and the acts of the institutions of the European Communities in respect of which the Act of Accession provided for derogations shall apply to the Canary Islands on the terms set out in this Regulation.",
"1. On the entry into force of the specific arrangements referred to in paragraph 2, the common agricultural policy shall apply to the Canary Islands on the terms laid down for mainland Spain. However:\n- the supplementary trade mechanism provided for in the Act of Accession shall not apply to the entry into the Canary Islands of the products in question,\n- the rules in force for mainland Spain shall apply to products originating in the Canary Islands and sent to other parts of the Community upon entry into force of this Regulation.\n2. Application of the common agricultural policy shall be accompanied by specific supply arrangements.\n3. Application of the common agricultural policy shall take account of the special features of Canary Islands production.",
"The common fisheries policy shall apply to the Canary Islands on the terms laid down for mainland Spain, as from the entry into force of this Regulation. Application of the common fisheries policy shall be accompanied by specific measures designed to take account, where necessary, of the special features of Canary Islands production.",
"1. Pursuant to Article 26 in conjunction with Annex I, V, 2 to the Act of Accession amending Article 3(2) of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC, the territory of the Canary Islands shall remain outside the field of application of the common VAT system.\n2. Pursuant to Article 26 in conjunction with Annex I, V, 3 and 4 to the Act of Accession, Spain may refrain from applying the provisions of Directives 72/464/EEC (5) and 79/32/EEC (6) to the Canary Islands.",
"1. For a transitional period which shall not extend beyond 31 December 2000, the Spanish authorities are hereby authorized to impose a tax on production and imports (APIM) on all products entering or produced in the Canary Islands. However, in respect of products coming under the common agricultural policy this possibility may not be implemented until the entry into force of the specific supply arrangements referred to in Article 2 (2).\n2. By 31 December 1995, the rates for the tax shall be set in conformity with paragraph 3. As from 1 January 1996, these rates shall be reduced by 20 % each year so that the tax will disappear by the end of the period laid down in paragraph 1.\n3. The rates applicable may vary depending on the category of product between 0,1 and 5 %; these rates may, however, rise to 15 % in the case of manufactured tobacco (CN codes 2402 10 00 and 2402 20 00). They may under no circumstances be increased by more than 15 % of the initial rate. This variation in rates must in no case be such as to give rise to discrimination against products of Community origin.\n4. During the transitional period referred to in paragraph 1, in view of the specific situation of the Canary Islands and the prospect of their full integration into the customs union, exemptions from the tax, partial or total, depending on economic requirements, may be authorized for local products up to 31 December 1995. Such exemptions must form part of the strategy for the economic and social development of the Canary Islands, taking account of the Community support framework, and help to promote local activities, though they must not be such as to change trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.\n5. The arrangements for exemptions adopted by the competent authorities pursuant to paragraph 4 shall be notified to the Commission, which shall inform the Member States thereof and have two months to assess their conformity with the aims defined in that paragraph. If the Commission has made no comment within that period, the arrangement shall be deemed to have been approved.\n6. During 1995, the Commission, after consulting the Spanish authorities, shall examine the impact of the measures taken on the economy of the Canary Islands and the prospects for their integration into the Community's customs territory. On the basis of this examination, the Spanish authorities may be authorized, in accordance with the criteria in paragraph 4 and the procedure in paragraph 5, to maintain the exemptions in force, in whole or in part, until 31 December 2000 at the latest.",
"1. For a transitional period, which shall not extend beyond 31 December 2000, the Common Customs Tariff (CCT) shall be progressively introduced in accordance with the following timetable;\n- up to 31 December 1992, the rates of duty applicable shall be equal to 30 % of the CCT rates; from 1 January 1993, these rates shall be equal to 35 % of the CCT rates, and shall rise to 40 % of the CCT rates from 1 January 1994 and to 50 % thereof from 1 January 1995;\n- from 1 January 1996 onwards, these rates shall be increased by 10 % per year so that the CCT shall apply in full to the Canary Islands at the end of the transitional period.\n2. However, application of the CCT and other import duties applicable under the common agricultural policy shall be suspended until the entry into force of the specific supply arrangements referred to in Article 2 (2).\n3. Application of the CCT to the Canary Islands shall be without prejudice to any specific tariff measures or derogations from the common commercial policy, should the need arise, in respect of certain sensitive products. Customs measures may also be taken in respect of the arrangements applicable to free zones.\n4. The charge known as the 'arbitrio insular - tarifa especial' of the Canary Islands shall be applied to products supplied by other parts of the Community on the terms laid down in Article 6 (3) of Protocol 2 to the Act of Accession, though it may not be continued beyond 31 December 1992. On a case-by-case basis, however, the Council may, at Spain's request and in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 6 (3) of Protocol 2, authorize the application of this charge to certain sensitive products until 31 December 2000 at the latest. Without prejudice to obligations arising out of existing agreements, the levying of this charge on imported products originating in non-Community countries shall be phased out from 1 January 1996 so as to be completely eliminated by 31 December 2000.\n5. Where it is found that application of the first paragraph leads to a deflection of trade, the Commission may decide that the difference in import duties shall be levied on goods in free circulation in the Canary Islands when these are introduced into the other parts of the Community's customs territory.",
"The common commercial policy shall apply to the Canary Islands on the terms laid down for Spain in the Act of Accession without prejudice to the specific measures referred to in Articles 2 (2), 6 (3) and 10 (3) of this Regulation.",
"The Commission shall adopt appropriate measures to prevent any speculative movement or deflection of trade resulting from the amendment of the trade arrangements applicable to the Canary Islands.",
"The Council, on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee, shall adopt a programme of options specific to the remote and insular nature of the Canary Islands. This programme shall include the specific measures referred to in Article 2 (2) and (3), Article 3 and Article 6 (3). This multi-sector programme of operations comprising legislative measures and financial commitments relating to the application of the common policies to reflect constraints specific to the Canary Islands, shall be given effect before 31 December 1992 by the adoption by the Council or the Commission, as the case may be, of the necessary legal acts, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty.",
"0\n1. This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 July 1991.\n2. The provisions of this Regulation concerning the application of the common agricultural policy shall apply from the entry into force of the specific supply arrangements provided for in Article 2 (2). Those arrangements shall enter into force no later than 1 January 1992.

] | Council Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 of 26 June 1991 on the application of the provisions of Community law to the Canary Islands
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 25 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the amended proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, by virtue of Article 25 of the Act of Accession, the Treaties and the acts of the institutions of the European Communities apply to the Canary Islands, subject to the derogations set out in that Article, in Article 155 and in Protocol 2 to the said Act;
Whereas these arrangements exclude the Canary Islands in particular from the Community's customs territory and from application of the common commercial policy, the common agricultural policy and the common fisheries policy; whereas experience has however shown that the development of the Canary Islands would be better served by their full integration into the common policies and the process of completing the internal market; whereas the arrangements laid down in the Act of Accession should therefore be amended and the Canary Islands integrated into the Community's customs territory;
Whereas, pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 25 (4) of the Act of Accession, the Council, at Spain's request, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, may decide unanimously to include the Canary Islands in the customs territory of the Community and to define the appropriate measures aimed at extending to the Canary Islands the provisions of Community law in force; whereas Spain made such a request on 7 March 1990 pursuant to the aforementioned
Article;
Whereas integration of the Canary Islands into all Community policies requires a gradual process over an appropriate transitional period, without prejudice to any special measures designed to take account of the specific constraints deriving from the remoteness of the Canary Islands, their island location and their historical economic and tax arrangements; whereas such measures will have to be the subject of a special programme of options specific to the remote and insular nature of the Canary Islands, to be adopted pursuant to this Regulation;
Whereas application of the common agricultural policy to the Canary Islands will make possible the free movement of products on the conditions applicable to mainland Spain (end of the transitional period: 31 December 1995) with the exception of the supplementary trade mechanisms as regards the supplying of the Canary Islands; whereas, in this framework, the free movement of products between the Canary Islands and the rest of Spain will be ensured; whereas full application of the common agricultural policy is subject to the entry into force of specific supply arrangements; whereas the application of this policy will have to be accompanied in addition by specific measures relating to the agricultural production of the Canary Islands; whereas it is therefore necessary to maintain the provisions of the Act of Accession relating to the application of the common agricultural policy to the Canary Islands until the entry into force of such supply arrangements with the exception of those governing the access of agricultural products originating in the Canary Islands to the other parts of the Community; whereas the provisions of Protocol 2 relating to bananas must remain in force;
Whereas it is necessary to apply the common fisheries policy to the Canary Islands on the entry into force of this Regulation on the conditions applicable to mainland Spain (end of the transitional period: 31 December 1995), subject to specific measures to be determined under existing legislation;
Whereas historical recognition of the Canaries' island status has been reflected in successive special economic and tax arrangements designed to compensate for the disadvantages deriving from the archipelago's geographical isolation;
Whereas, in this context, the strengthening of the Canary Islands' integration into the Community is not incompatible with the maintenance of indirect taxation specific to these islands, especially the exclusion of the Canary Islands from the territorial field of application of the common VAT system pursuant to Article 26 in conjunction with Annex I, V, 2 to the Act of Accession, amending Article 3 (2) of the Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC (4) and the continuing exclusion of the Canary Islands from the territorial field of application of the Directives concerning manufactured tobacco pursuant to Article 26 in conjunction with Annex I, V, 3 and 4 to the Act of Accession;
Whereas the Community takes favourable note of the aims of the reform initiated by Spain in respect of the tax aspects of the economic and tax arrangements for the Canary Islands; whereas this reform provides for the gradual introduction of up-to-date indirect taxation as an instrument of economic and social development and the financing of local budgets, creating the conditions for total integration into the Community at the end of a transitional period not exceeding 10 years;
Whereas, until 31 December 2000 at the latest, in two five-year stages as part of a dynamic process in conjunction with the gradual entry of the Canary Islands into the customs union, it is desirable to authorize a number of total or partial exemptions for local products from application of the new so-called 'arbitrio sur la production et sur les importations (APIM)' (tax on production and imports) tax, provided that these exemptions contribute to promotion of local activities; whereas, however, application of this charge should be suspended for products coming under the common agricultural policy until the application of that policy, it being understood that, when these products are imported from non-member countries, the provisions in force in the Canary Islands in respect of trade with such countries shall be maintained until the same date;
Whereas the dismantling of this charge will have to be accompanied by the gradual adoption of the common customs tariff as from the entry into force of this Regulation and for the same transitional period, so as to ensure the complete integration of the Canary Islands into the customs union by 31 December 2000;
Whereas, however, as regards products coming under the common agricultural policy, application of the Common Customs Tariff and other import duties is dependent on the entry into force of the specific measures to supply the Canary Islands with essential agricultural products; whereas at all events the gradual application of the Common Customs Tariff to the Canary Islands may be accompanied, where appropriate, by specific tariff measures or derogations from the common commercial policy for certain sensitive products; whereas such measures may also be taken in respect of the arrangements applicable to free zones;
Whereas the charge known as the 'arbitrio insular - tarifa especial' applicable to products supplied by other parts of the Community on the terms set out in Article 6 (3) of Protocol 2 shall not be extended beyond 31 December 1992 except as applied on a case-by-case basis, until 31 December 2000 at the latest, to be decided upon by the Council; whereas the levying of this charge on products imported into the Canary Islands from non-Community countries will have to be phased out from 1 January 1996 so that it is completely eliminated by 31 December 2000, without prejudice to obligations under existing arrangements;
Whereas provision should be made for the possibility of applying safeguard measures until 31 December 1999 at the latest, | 371 |

Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 62(1)(a) thereof,
Having called on interested parties to submit their comments pursuant to those provisions (1),
Whereas:
I. PROCEDURE
(1) By letter of 18 October 2005 the Italian authorities notified the Commission of the above aid scheme. They provided the Commission with further information by letters of 20 December 2005, 13 March 2006 and 27 March 2006. The Commission requested additional information by letters of 10 November 2005 and 8 February 2006.
(2) By letter of 16 May 2006, the Commission informed Italy that it had decided to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the aid measure.
(3) The Commission decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
(2). The Commission called on interested parties to submit their comments.
(4) Italy submitted its comments by letter of 23 June 2006, in which it announced its intention to submit further observations on a specific aspect.
(5) No interested parties submitted comments during the procedure.
(6) The Commission asked for supplementary information by letters of 21 September 2006 and 10 January 2007.
(7) By letter of 30 January 2007, registered as received by the Commission on 2 February 2007, Italy informed the Commission that the notified measure had been withdrawn.
II. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURE
(8) The objective of the measure was to promote the growth of small and micro enterprises resulted from an aggregation process (merger with or acquisition of other small and micro enterprises) by means of a tax credit. The budget foreseen for the notified measure was EUR 120 million for 2006, EUR 242 million for 2007 and EUR 122 million for 2008.
(9) The legal basis of the measure is Article 2 of Decree Law No 106 of 17 June 2005, converted into Law No 156 of 31 July 2005. It contains a standstill clause. The aid scheme has not been put in place.
(10) Italy already enacted a similar measure in 2005 (3) under the Block Exemption Regulation for aid to SMEs (4). That version limits the tax credit to 50 % of the consultancy costs for the merger and acquisition process. The Italian authorities have indicated that, given this ceiling, the take-up of the measure has been limited, with 132 applications for a total tax credit of EUR 3 442 261. Only 46 applications were accepted for a total amount of tax credit of EUR 415 306.

(11) By letter of 30 January 2007, the Italian authorities informed the Commission that the budget for this measure has been used for other purposes and that the notified measure had not been implemented as it had been withdrawn.
IV. ASSESSMENT
(12) Following the withdrawal of the notification, the procedure no longer has any relevance.
V. CONCLUSION
(13) The Commission has therefore decided to close the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty on the ground that it no longer has any relevance following the withdrawal of the measure by Italy, | [
"After the withdrawal by Italy of the notified measure, the present procedure no longer has any relevance. The Commission has therefore decided to close the procedure initiated under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty.",

(4) The DLVS has provided official assurances on compliance with the standards for health controls and monitoring of fishery products as set out in Chapter V of the Annex to Directive 91/493/EEC and on the fulfilment of hygienic requirements equivalent to those laid down by that Directive.
(5) It is appropriate to lay down detailed provisions concerning fishery products imported into the Community from Zimbabwe, in accordance with Directive 91/493/EEC.
(6) It is also necessary to draw up a list of approved establishments, factory vessels, or cold stores, and a list of freezer vessels equipped in accordance with the requirements of Council Directive 92/48/EEC of 16 June 1992 laying down the minimum hygiene rules applicable to fishery products caught on board certain vessels in accordance with Article 3(1)(a)(i) of Directive 91/493/EEC(2). Those lists should be drawn up on the basis of a communication from the DLVS to the Commission.

| COMMISSION DECISION of 31 October 1995 enjoining the German Government to provide all documentation, information and data on the new investment projects of the Volkswagen Group in the new German Länder and on the aid that is to be granted to them (C 62/91 ex NN 75, 77, 78 and 79/91) (Only the German text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (96/179/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 5, 92 and 93 thereof,
Having regard to the Agreement establishing the European Economic Area, and in particular Articles 61 and 62 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) On 18 December 1991 the Commission took the decision to open a procedure provided for in Article 93 (2) of the EC Treaty with respect to various State aid projects for the benefit of the VW Group in Thüringen and Sachsen (1). By letter dated 29 January 1992, Germany agreed to suspend further payments of aid until the closure of the Article 93 (2) procedure.
According to the Commission's information the total aid paid illegally to VW in the form of grants allegedly for the projects Mosel II and Chemnitz II in October and December 1991 amounts to DM 360.8 million (ECU 191,2 million). Furthermore, VW Sachsen has obtained corporation tax refunds to the amount of DM 11,4 million (ECU 6,1 million) and special depreciation on its investments in 1991, where the amount still remains to be determined.
(2) On 27 July 1994 the Commission took a final decision within that procedure on the restructuring aid to Sächsische Automobilbau GmbH for its car end engine plants in Mosel (Mosel I) and Chemnitz (Chemnitz I) and the cylinder head plant in Eisenach.
At the time of this final decision Germany informed the Commission that the VW Group would finalize its plans on its new investment projects in Mosel and Chemnitz (Mosel II and Chemnitz II) at the end of 1994, so that at that time the relevant information on these projects would be transmitted to the Commission in order for it to assess the proposed regional aid. Before the final decision on the restructuring aid in 1994, the revised plans of VW were presented to the Commission in a preliminary form. The plant layout was to be changed and the investment would only start at the end of 1994. Furthermore, the aid contracts had been revised, so that the grants were reduced to DM 646,8 million for Mosel II and to DM 167,3 million for Chemnitz II. The corporation tax refunds would also fall to DM 106,8 million for Mosel II and to DM 31,9 million for Chemnitz II. This is due to the fact that eligible investment in Mosel II has been reduced to DM 2 812,9 million and to DM 758,8 million in Chemnitz, while projected employment fell to 2 843 in Mosel II and 786 in Chemnitz.
(3) At the end of 1994, as well as in the following months, Germany informed the Commission that the investment plans by VW had not been finalized.
(4) By letter dated 12 April 1995 the Commission requested Germany to provide VW's plans for the new plants. No reply was received to that letter.
(5) By letter dated 4 August 1995, the Commission urgently requested the necessary information, threatening an injunction and eventually a final decision on the basis of the available information in case of non-compliance. In reaction to this letter the German Government informed the Commission by letter dated 22 August 1995 that VW's investment plans were still not finalized. It also stated that under German law a reimbursement of aid would be necessary if VW did not fully execute its investment or employment plans.
(6) Under these conditions the Commission concludes that Germany has not submitted the necessary information for the Commission to assess the compatibility of the State aid to the VW Group for its projects Mosel II and Chemnitz II with Article 92 of the EC Treaty. Of this aid, grants to the amount of DM 360,8 million (ECU 191,2 million), corporation tax refunds to the amount of DM 11,4 million (ECU 6,1 million) and special depreciation on its investments in 1991, where the amount still remains to be determined, have already been paid. The fact that the aid or part of it might have to be reimbursed under German law, if the company did not fully execute its investment or employment plans, is not relevant for the assessment of the compatibility of the aid.
(7) In view of the above, and as the Court of Justice has acknowledged in its judgment of 14 February 1990 in Case C-301/87 (France v. Commission) and later confirmed in its judgment of 13 April 1994 in Joined Cases C-324/90 and C-342/90 (2), where an infringement of Article 93 (3) of the EC Treaty has been committed, the Commission is entitled to take an interim decision requiring the Member State in question, in this case Germany, to suspend payment of the aid and to provide the Commission with all the documents, information and particulars necessary for examining the compatibility of the aid measures with the common market. The Commission takes note that in reaction to the opening of procedure Germany has confirmed by letter dated 29 January 1992 that it would suspend payment of the aid.
Furthermore, pursuant to existing case law, should Germany fail to comply with this Decision by not providing all relevant information for the assessment of the compatibility of the abovementioned aid within the deadline of six weeks of the notification of this Decision, the Commission could take a final decision on the basis of the currently available information. Such final decision could include a demand for reimbursement of the aid including interest charged on the amount of aid paid to the company concerned from the date of payment at the percentage value on that date of the reference rate used for the calculation of the net grant equivalent of the various types of aid in that Member State. Such a measure would be necessary in order to restore the status quo (3) by removing all of the financial benefit that has been improperly enjoyed by the recipient of illegal aid since the date that it received the aid, | [
"Germany shall, within six weeks of the notification of this Decision, provide all appropriate information, documentation and data allowing the Commission to assess the compatibility with Article 92 of the EC Treaty of the aid to the Volkswagen Group for its investment in the Mosel II and Chemnitz II plants in the new Länder of Germany. This information shall include in particular a detailed breakdown of the investment already realized at Mosel II and Chemnitz II, the detailed revised investment, capacity and production plans for both plants as well as all necessary information on the handicaps faced by VW in the new Länder through these projects.\nFurthermore, it must include the current aid plans and a detailed quantification of all aid paid so far in connection with the projects. It may also include any further information that Germany considers useful for the assessment of the case.",
"This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany."

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION | ,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Articles 13(2) and 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply to active substances for which completeness has been established in accordance with Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 (3), with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval. 1-Naphthylacetamide is an active substance for which completeness has been established in accordance with that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 (4) and (EC) No 2229/2004 (5) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included 1-naphthylacetamide.
(3) In accordance with Article 24e of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within 2 months from receipt of the draft assessment report referred to in Article 24(2) of that Regulation. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/941/EC of 8 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (6) was adopted on the non-inclusion of 1-naphthylacetamide.
(4) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I.
(5) The application was submitted to France, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/941/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(6) France evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 12 March 2010. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on 1-naphthylacetamide to the Commission on 15 February 2011 (7). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 17 June 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for 1-naphthylacetamide.
(7) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing 1-naphthylacetamide may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular as regards the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve 1-naphthylacetamide in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
(8) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions.
(9) Without prejudice to the conclusion that 1-naphthylacetamide should be approved, it is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(10) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(11) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of the approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing 1-naphthylacetamide. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw existing authorisations. By way of derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(12) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (8) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(13) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (9) should be amended accordingly.
(14) Decision 2008/941/EC provides for the non-inclusion of 1-naphthylacetamide and the withdrawal of authorisations for plants protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning 1-naphthylacetamide in the Annex to that Decision. It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/941/EC accordingly.
(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, | [

,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Articles 13(2) and 78(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 80(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, Council Directive 91/414/EEC (2) is to apply to active substances for which completeness has been established in accordance with Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 (3), with respect to the procedure and the conditions for approval. 1-Naphthylacetamide is an active substance for which completeness has been established in accordance with that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulations (EC) No 1112/2002 (4) and (EC) No 2229/2004 (5) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the fourth stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list included 1-naphthylacetamide.
(3) In accordance with Article 24e of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004 the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within 2 months from receipt of the draft assessment report referred to in Article 24(2) of that Regulation. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/941/EC of 8 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (6) was adopted on the non-inclusion of 1-naphthylacetamide.
(4) Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I.
(5) The application was submitted to France, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 2229/2004. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/941/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.
(6) France evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 12 March 2010. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on 1-naphthylacetamide to the Commission on 15 February 2011 (7). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 17 June 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for 1-naphthylacetamide.
(7) It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing 1-naphthylacetamide may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular as regards the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve 1-naphthylacetamide in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
(8) In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions.
(9) Without prejudice to the conclusion that 1-naphthylacetamide should be approved, it is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.
(10) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before approval in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the approval.
(11) Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 as a consequence of the approval, taking into account the specific situation created by the transition from Directive 91/414/EEC to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the following should, however, apply. Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after approval to review authorisations of plant protection products containing 1-naphthylacetamide. Member States should, as appropriate, vary, replace or withdraw existing authorisations. By way of derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the update of the complete Annex III dossier, as set out in Directive 91/414/EEC, of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles.
(12) The experience gained from inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (8) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I to that Directive or the Regulations approving active substances.
(13) In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of approved active substances (9) should be amended accordingly.
(14) Decision 2008/941/EC provides for the non-inclusion of 1-naphthylacetamide and the withdrawal of authorisations for plants protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning 1-naphthylacetamide in the Annex to that Decision. It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/941/EC accordingly.
(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, | 381 |

laying down general rules for the disposal af alcohol obtained from the distillation operations referred to in Articles 39, 40 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 and held by intervention agencies
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and in particular Articles 40 and 41a (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 41a (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 provides that alcohol obtained from the distillation operations referred to in Article 41 of that Regulation shall be disposed of either by public auction or by a tendering procedure; whereas, since this procedure is such as to permit products to be disposed of without discrimination among Community buyers and to ensure a level of prices that does not hinder the normal development of prices on the market, it would seem appropriate also for the disposal of alcohol obtained from the distillation operations referred to in Articles 39 and 40 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79;
Whereas Articles 40a and 41a of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 provide that the disposal of products obtained from the distillation operations referred to in Articles 39, 40 and 41 held by the intervention agencies must take place in such a way as to avoid any disturbance of the markets in alcohol and spirituous beverages; whereas, consistent with this objective, it is necessary to fix minimum selling prices for alcohol intended for those markets taking account of representative market prices for grain alcohol of comparable quality and the effective disposal price for wine alcohol from voluntary distillations, and to set aside certain quantities of alcohol for other sectors, in particular, for use as motor fuel or fuel in thermal power stations; whereas the legal and administrative obstacles to the use of alcohol in this latter sector which have existed hitherto must be eliminated in accordance with Council Directive 85/536/EEC of 5 December 1985 on crude oil savings through the use of substitute fuel components in petrol (3);
Whereas in order to ensure compliance with Article 40a of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79, provision should be made for alcohol obtained from the distillation operations referred to in Articles 39 and 40 of that Regulation to be put up for sale firstly on the market in alcohol and spirituous beverages and to be assigned to other sectors only if such putting up for sale has not produced results;
Whereas it would seem appropriate to provide that the procedures for selling products obtained from the distillation operations referred to in Articles 39 and 40 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 on the market in alcohol and spirituous beverages be opened and administered by the Member States' intervention agencies; whereas, however, since the disposal of this alcohol in other sectors and the disposal of alcohol obtained from the distillation operations provided for in Article 41 are wholly the responsibility of the EAGGF, they must be carried out under procedures opened and administered at Community level;
Whereas, in order to avoid any disturbance of the various markets in alcohol while affording operators some guidance, it would seem appropriate to provide for the fixing of minimum prices before the beginning of each marketing year; whereas it must, however, be possible for these prices to be altered if the economic situation has significantly altered the terms of reference;
Whereas the period of application of this Regulation should be limited, as of now, to one year in order to enable some degree of experience to be gained and to enable a decision on measures to be taken, and subsequently to be made on the basis of that experience, | [
"1. Alcohol obtained by the distillation operations referred to in Articles 39, 40 and 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 and held by intervention agencies shall be disposed of by a tendering procedure or by public auction.\n2. The conditions governing the tendering procedures and public auctions must ensure equality of treatment for all interested parties wherever they are established in the Community.\n3. Tendering procedures and public auctions may be held with a view to a specific use.\n4. Admission to the procedures referred to in paragraph 1 shall be limited to interested parties who have guaranteed compliance with their obligations by putting up a security.",
"As regards the products obtained from the distillation operations referred to in Articles 39 and 40 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79:\n(a) the intervention agencies shall, within a period to be determined, open a tendering procedure or hold a public auction in order to dispose of such products on the markets in alcohol and spirituous beverages;\n(b) tenders accepted under these procedures must at least observe the minimum prices referred to in Article 6 (1) (a) and (b);\n(c) where the products have not been disposed of as provided for in (a) and (b), the Commission shall decide to open a tendering procedure in accordance with Article 67 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 in order to dispose of them in other sectors, and in particular for use as motor or other fuel.",
"The products obtained from the distillation operations referred to in Article 41 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 shall be disposed of by tendering procedure opened in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 67 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79.",
"Under the tendering procedures provided for in Articles 2 (c) and 3, the Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 67 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79, decide:\n- either the minimum price at which tenders shall be accepted, such price in no circumstances being lower than the minimum price fixed for the various types of alcohol pursuant to Article 6 (1);\n- or not to accept any of the tenders received.",
"Priority in disposing of alcohol for use as motor or other fuel under the tendering procedures laid down in Articles 2 (c) and 3 shall be given to alcohol other than neutral alcohol.",
"1. The following minimum selling prices shall be fixed:\n(a) a minimum selling price for neutral alcohol which complies with the definition given in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2179/83 (1), with the exception of the neutral alcohol referred to in (c), (e) and (f);\n(b) a minimum selling price for alcohol other than neutral alcohol, with the exception of the alcohol referred to in (d) and (e);\n(c) a special minimum selling price for neutral alcohol intended, under certain conditions, for use as motor fuel;\n(d) a special minimum selling price for alcohol other than neutral alcohol intended, under certain conditions, for use as motor fuel;\n(e) a special minimum selling price for neutral alcohol and alcohol other than neutral alcohol intended, under certain conditions, for use as other fuel;\n(f) a special minimum selling price for neutral alcohol under certain conditions.\n2. The minimum selling prices referred to in paragraph 1 (a) and (b) shall, for a comparable quality, be fixed so as to avoid any disturbance of the markets in alcohol and spirituous beverages produced in the Community and at a level no lower than both the representative prices recorded on Community markets for grain alcohol and the prices of wine alcohol obtained under Community distillation measures.\n3. The special minimum selling prices referred to in 1 (c) and (d) shall be fixed taking into account the average Community marketing price, net of tax of 'super' grade petrol and a coefficient of equivalence.\n4. The special minimum selling price referred to in 1 (e) shall be fixed taking into account an average Community marketing price, net of tax, for liquid fuel for thermal power stations and a coefficient of equivalence.\n5. The prices referred to in paragraph 1 shall be fixed before the beginning of each wine year in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 67 of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79.\nSuch prices may be altered during the wine year, in accordance with the same procedure, particularly if:\n- in the case of the prices referred to in paragraph 1 (a) and (b), significant variations occur in the prices of grain or wine ethyl alcohol of comparable quality,\n- in the case of the prices referred to in paragraph 1 (c) and (d), significant variations occur in the price of 'super' grade petrol.\n- in the case of the price referred to in paragraph 1 e), significant variations occur in the prices of liquid fuels used in thermal power stations.\nThe conditions referred to in paragraph 1 (c), (d), (e) and (f) shall be determined in accordance with the same procedure.",
"This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.\nIt shall apply to products taken over by the intervention agencies after 1 September 1982 and still held when this Regulation enters into force.\nIt shall be applicable until 31 December 1986.\nThis Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States."

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular point (b)(ii) of Section 1 of Chapter A of Annex VIII thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 provides for the approval of the national scrapie control programmes of the Member States if they comply with certain criteria laid down in that Regulation. Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 also provides for the definition of any additional guarantees which may be required for intra-Community trade and imports in accordance with that Regulation.
(2) Commission Decision 2003/100/EC of 13 February 2003 laying down minimum requirements for the establishment of breeding programmes for resistance to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies in sheep (2), provides that each Member State is to introduce a breeding programme to select for resistance to TSEs in certain sheep breeds. That Decision also provides for the possibility for a Member State to derogate from the requirement to establish a breeding programme on the basis of its national scrapie control programme, submitted and approved in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, where it provides for the continuous active monitoring of dead-on-farm ovine and caprine animals in all flocks in that Member State.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1874/2003 of 24 October 2003 approving the national scrapie control programmes of certain Member States and defining additional guarantees, and granting derogations concerning breeding programmes for TSE resistance in sheep pursuant to Decision 2003/100/EC (3), approved the national scrapie control programmes of Denmark, Finland and Sweden.
(4) On 18 November 2005, Austria submitted a national scrapie control programme to the Commission. On 5 January 2006, certain amendments to that programme were submitted to the Commission. That programme, as amended, meets the required criteria set out in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001. In addition, Austria is likely to have a low prevalence or absence of scrapie on its territory.
(5) On the basis of that national scrapie control programme, Austria should be granted derogation from the breeding programme provided for in Decision 2003/100/EC. Furthermore, the additional trade guarantees required by Annex VIII, Chapter A and Annex IX, Chapter E to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should be laid down in the present Regulation.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 1874/2003 provides for certain additional guarantees for Denmark, Finland and Sweden relating to holdings. Those additional trade guarantees should, however, be amended in order to increase subsidiarity to those Member States and also Austria, taking into account different epidemiological and trade situations and differences in scrapie strains present in those four Member States.
(7) Therefore, for practical reasons and in the interests of clarity of Community legislation, it is appropriate to repeal Regulation (EC) No 1874/2003 and replace it by the present Regulation.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, | [
"Approval of national scrapie control programmes\nThe national scrapie control programmes, referred to in Chapter A, point I(b) of Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, of the Member States listed in the Annex to the present Regulation are hereby approved.",

Ovine and caprine animals destined for the Member States listed in the Annex and coming from other Member States not listed in the Annex or third countries must have been kept continuously, since birth, on holdings which have satisfied the following conditions for a period of at least seven years prior to the date of dispatch of such animals:\n(a) no cases of scrapie have been confirmed;\n(b) no eradication measures have been applied because of scrapie;\n(c) the holdings have not contained animals identified as animals at risk referred to in Article 13(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001.\n2. Ovine and caprine animals destined for the Member States listed in the Annex to the present Regulation and coming from other Member States listed in that Annex must have been kept on holdings, in which no ovine and caprine animal have been placed under official TSE movement restrictions in accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, for a period of at least seven years prior to the date of dispatch of such animals.\n3. Semen, embryos and ova from ovine and caprine animals, destined for the Member States listed in the Annex, must be obtained from donors kept continuously since birth on holdings fulfilling the conditions set out in:\n(a) paragraph 1, if coming from other Member States not listed in the Annex or from third countries; or\n(b) paragraph 2, if coming from other Member States listed in the Annex.",
"Official movement restrictions\n1. The official movement restrictions presented by the Member States listed in the Annex are hereby approved. They shall apply to holdings receiving ovine or caprine animals or semen, embryos and ova from ovine or caprine animals where:\n(a) the animals, semen, embryos and ova are received from other Member States not listed in the Annex or from third countries; and\n(b) scrapie has been confirmed during the three years prior to or after the date of dispatch of the animals, semen, embryos and ova in the Member State or third country of dispatch as referred to in point (a).\n2. The official movement restrictions provided for in paragraph 1 shall not apply in the case of receipt of ovine animals of the ARR/ARR prion protein genotype, or of semen, embryos and ova from a donor of the ARR/ARR prion protein genotype.",
"Derogations from the requirement to establish a breeding programme\nPursuant to the first indent of Article 3(1) of Decision 2003/100/EC, Member States listed in the Annex to this Regulation are hereby granted a derogation from the requirement to establish a breeding programme as provided for in Article 2(1) of that Decision.",
"Repeal\nRegulation (EC) No 1874/2003 is repealed.",

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 79/2003(4), and in particular Article 1(2) and Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 stipulates that the cif import price for molasses, hereinafter referred to as the "representative price", should be set in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68(5). That price should be fixed for the standard quality defined in Article 1 of the above Regulation.
(2) The representative price for molasses is calculated at the frontier crossing point into the Community, in this case Amsterdam; that price must be based on the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market established on the basis of the quotations or prices on that market adjusted for any deviations from the standard quality. The standard quality for molasses is defined in Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(3) When the most favourable purchasing opportunities on the world market are being established, account must be taken of all available information on offers on the world market, on the prices recorded on important third-country markets and on sales concluded in international trade of which the Commission is aware, either directly or through the Member States. Under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68, the Commission may for this purpose take an average of several prices as a basis, provided that this average is representative of actual market trends.
(4) The information must be disregarded if the goods concerned are not of sound and fair marketable quality or if the price quoted in the offer relates only to a small quantity that is not representative of the market. Offer prices which can be regarded as not representative of actual market trends must also be disregarded.
(5) If information on molasses of the standard quality is to be comparable, prices must, depending on the quality of the molasses offered, be increased or reduced in the light of the results achieved by applying Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 785/68.
(6) A representative price may be left unchanged by way of exception for a limited period if the offer price which served as a basis for the previous calculation of the representative price is not available to the Commission and if the offer prices which are available and which appear not to be sufficiently representative of actual market trends would entail sudden and considerable changes in the representative price.
(7) Where there is a difference between the trigger price for the product in question and the representative price, additional import duties should be fixed under the conditions set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95. Should the import duties be suspended pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95, specific amounts for these duties should be fixed.
(8) Application of these provisions will have the effect of fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for the products in question as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar, | [
"The representative prices and the additional duties applying to imports of the products referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 are fixed in the Annex hereto.",

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 138/96(2), and in particular Articles 9 and 13 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1394/2001 of 9 July 2001 establishing administration procedures for the 2002 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China(3), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1394/2001 established the portion of each of the quotas concerned reserved for traditional and other importers and the conditions and methods for participating in the allocation of the quantities available. Importers have lodged applications for import licences with the competent national authorities between 11 July and 3 p.m., Brussels time, on 7 September, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1394/2001.
(2) The Commission has received from the Member States, pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1394/2001, particulars of the numbers and aggregate volume of import licence applications submitted and the total volume imported by traditional importers in 1998 or 1999, the reference years.
(3) The Commission is now able, on the basis of that information, to establish uniform quantitative criteria by which the competent national authorities may satisfy licence applications submitted by importers in the Member States for the 2002 quantitative quotas.
(4) Examination of the figures supplied by Member States shows that the aggregate volume of applications submitted by traditional importers for the products listed in Annex I to this Regulation exceeds the portion of the quota set aside for them. The applications must therefore be met by applying the uniform rate of reduction/increase shown in Annex I to the volume of each importer's imports, expressed in quantity or value terms, over the reference period.
(5) Examination of the figures supplied by Member States shows that the aggregate volume of applications submitted by non-traditional importers for the products listed in Annex II to this Regulation exceeds the portion of the quota set aside for them. The applications must therefore be met by applying the uniform rate of reduction shown in Annex II to the amounts requested by each importer, as limited by Regulation (EC) No 1394/2001, | [
"In response to licence applications in respect of the products listed in Annex I duly submitted by traditional importers, the competent national authorities shall allocate each importer a quantity or value equal to his imports for 1998 or 1999, as indicated by the importer, adjusted by the rate of reduction/increase specified in the said Annex for each quota.\nWhere the use of this quantitative criterion would entail allocating an amount greater than that applied for, the quantity or value allocated shall be limited to that specified in the application.",
"In response to licence applications in respect of the products listed in Annex II duly submitted by non-traditional importers, the competent national authorities shall allocate each importer a quantity or value equal to the amount requested within the limits set by Regulation (EC) No 1394/2001, adjusted by the rate of reduction specified in the said Annex for each quota.",
"This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.\nThis Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States."

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 520/94 of 7 March 1994 establishing a Community procedure for administering quantitative quotas(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 138/96(2), and in particular Articles 9 and 13 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1394/2001 of 9 July 2001 establishing administration procedures for the 2002 quantitative quotas for certain products originating in the People's Republic of China(3), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1394/2001 established the portion of each of the quotas concerned reserved for traditional and other importers and the conditions and methods for participating in the allocation of the quantities available. Importers have lodged applications for import licences with the competent national authorities between 11 July and 3 p.m., Brussels time, on 7 September, in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1394/2001.
(2) The Commission has received from the Member States, pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1394/2001, particulars of the numbers and aggregate volume of import licence applications submitted and the total volume imported by traditional importers in 1998 or 1999, the reference years.
(3) The Commission is now able, on the basis of that information, to establish uniform quantitative criteria by which the competent national authorities may satisfy licence applications submitted by importers in the Member States for the 2002 quantitative quotas.
(4) Examination of the figures supplied by Member States shows that the aggregate volume of applications submitted by traditional importers for the products listed in Annex I to this Regulation exceeds the portion of the quota set aside for them. The applications must therefore be met by applying the uniform rate of reduction/increase shown in Annex I to the volume of each importer's imports, expressed in quantity or value terms, over the reference period.
(5) Examination of the figures supplied by Member States shows that the aggregate volume of applications submitted by non-traditional importers for the products listed in Annex II to this Regulation exceeds the portion of the quota set aside for them. The applications must therefore be met by applying the uniform rate of reduction shown in Annex II to the amounts requested by each importer, as limited by Regulation (EC) No 1394/2001, | 397 |

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1486/2002(4). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter, | [
"The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 29,780/100 kg.",
"This Regulation shall enter into force on 7 February 2004.\nThis Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States."
