COMMISSION DECISION
of 26 April 2010
setting up the Expert Group on a Common Frame of Reference in the area of European contract law
(2010/233/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION | ,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
(1) The European Council at Tampere in October 1999 requested the Commission to study the need to harmonise legislation in the area of substantive civil law.
(2) The Commission issued a Communication on European contract law (1) in 2001 with the purpose of launching a process of consultation on potential problems and actions in the area of contract law, the responses to which indicated a clear consensus on the need to improve the consistency of the existing Union contract law legislation in order to ensure its uniform application and a smooth functioning of the internal market.
(3) The Commission issued an action plan entitled ‘A more coherent European contract law’ (2) in 2003 which proposed to improve the quality and coherence of Union contract law legislation through the establishment of a Common Frame of Reference, which would provide the Union with a non-binding reference tool containing principles, definitions and model rules to be used for the revision of existing Union legislation and the preparation of new legislation in the area of contract law.
(4) As a preparatory measure, the Commission financed in 2005, through a grant under the 6th Framework Programme for Research, a European academic network of researchers to carry out in-depth legal research which led to an academic Draft Common Frame of Reference (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Draft Common Frame of Reference’).
(5) The Stockholm Programme for 2010-2014 invites the Commission to submit a proposal on a Common Frame of Reference in the area of European contract law which should be a non-binding set of fundamental principles, definitions and model rules to be used by the lawmakers at Union level to ensure greater coherence and quality in the lawmaking process.
(6) The Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth (3) recognises the need to make it easier and less costly for businesses and consumers to conclude contracts with partners in other EU countries, inter alia, by making progress towards an optional European Contract Law.
(7) It is therefore necessary to set up a group of experts in the area of civil law, and in particular contract law, and to define its tasks and its structure.
(8) The group should assist the Commission in preparing a proposal for a Common Frame of Reference in the area of European contract law, including consumer and business contract law, using the Draft Common Frame of Reference as a starting point and taking into consideration other research work conducted in this area as well as the Union acquis. The group should, in particular, help the Commission select those parts of the Draft Common Frame of Reference which are of direct or indirect relevance for contract law, and restructure, revise and supplement the selected contents.
(9) The group should be composed of highly qualified experts with competence in the area of civil law, and in particular contract law, appointed in a personal capacity.
(10) Rules on disclosure of information by members of the group should be provided for, without prejudice to the Commission’s rules on security as set out in the Annex to Commission Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom (4).
(11) Personal data relating to members of the group should be processed 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 (5).
(12) It is appropriate to fix a period for the application of this Decision. The Commission will in due time consider the advisability of an extension, | [

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 (2) sets detailed rules covering export refunds on fruit and vegetables.
(2) Under Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 refunds can be granted on products exported by the Community, to the extent necessary to enable economically significant quantities to be exported and within the limits ensuing from agreements concluded in line with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) In line with Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 care should be taken to ensure that trade flows already engendered by the granting of refunds are not disturbed. For that reason and given the seasonal nature of fruit and vegetable exports quantities should be set product by product using the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). In setting quantities account must be taken of perishability.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 stipulates that when refunds are set account is to be taken of the existing situation and outlook for prices and availability of fruit and vegetables on the Community market and for international trade prices, of marketing and transport costs and of the economic aspects of the exportation envisaged.
(5) Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 requires Community market prices to be determined using the prices that are most favourable from the point of view of exportation.
(6) The international trade situation or specific requirements of certain markets may necessitate differentiation of the refund on a given product by destination.
(7) Economically significant exports can at present be made of shelled almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts in shell.
(8) Since nuts have a relatively long storage life export refunds can be set at longer intervals.
(9) In order to permit the best possible use of available resources the export refunds should, given the structure of exportation from the Community, be set using system A1.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables, | [
"1. Export refund rates for nuts, the period for lodging licence applications and the quantities permitted are stipulated in the Annex hereto.\n2.

(2) Under Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 refunds can be granted on products exported by the Community, to the extent necessary to enable economically significant quantities to be exported and within the limits ensuing from agreements concluded in line with Article 300 of the Treaty.
(3) In line with Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 care should be taken to ensure that trade flows already engendered by the granting of refunds are not disturbed. For that reason and given the seasonal nature of fruit and vegetable exports quantities should be set product by product using the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). In setting quantities account must be taken of perishability.
(4) Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 stipulates that when refunds are set account is to be taken of the existing situation and outlook for prices and availability of fruit and vegetables on the Community market and for international trade prices, of marketing and transport costs and of the economic aspects of the exportation envisaged.
(5) Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 requires Community market prices to be determined using the prices that are most favourable from the point of view of exportation.
(6) The international trade situation or specific requirements of certain markets may necessitate differentiation of the refund on a given product by destination.
(7) Economically significant exports can at present be made of shelled almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts in shell.
(8) Since nuts have a relatively long storage life export refunds can be set at longer intervals.
(9) In order to permit the best possible use of available resources the export refunds should, given the structure of exportation from the Community, be set using system A1.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables, | 526 |

Whereas, in Decision 82/445/ECSC of 18 May 1982 (2), the Commission decided to extend by one year the duration of these tariffs, namely until 31 December 1984, with a reduction of the established tariffs on the tariffs normally applicable by at least 50 % on 1 January 1984;
Whereas, by letter of 22 September 1983, the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany requested that application of these tariffs be further extended until 31 December 1988;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation amending the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation of 22 July 1972 (2), which was signed in October 2004, is provisionally applicable from 1 February 2005 by virtue of Council Decision 2005/45/EC of 22 December 2004 concerning the conclusion and the provisional application of the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation amending the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation of 22 July 1972 as regards the provisions applicable to processed agricultural products (3).
(2) Pursuant to Decision 2005/45/EC certain goods for which operators have applied for refund certificates in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (4) are, from 1 February 2005, no longer eligible for refunds when they are exported to Switzerland or Liechtenstein.
(3) Reduction of refund certificates and pro rata release of the corresponding security should be allowed where operators can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the national competent authority that their claims for refunds have been affected by Decision 2005/45/EC. When assessing requests for reduction of the amount of the refund certificate and proportional release of the relevant security, the national competent authority should, in cases of doubt, have regard in particular to the documents referred to in Article 1(2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4045/89 of 21 December 1989 on scrutiny by Member States of transactions forming part of the system of financing by the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund and repealing Directive 77/435/EEC (5) without prejudice to the application of the other provisions of that Regulation.
(4) For administrative reasons it is appropriate to provide that requests for reduction of the amount of the refund certificate and release of the security are to be made within a short period and that the amounts for which reductions have been accepted are to be notified to the Commission in time for their inclusion in the determination of the amount for which refund certificates for use from 1 April 2005 shall be issued, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000.
(5) Since the measures laid down in Decision 2005/45/EC will apply from 1 February 2005, this Regulation should apply from the same date and enter into force immediately.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee on horizontal questions concerning trade in processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty, | [
"1. Refund certificates issued in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 in respect of exports of the goods for which export refunds have been abolished by Decision 2005/45/EC may, at request of the interested party, be reduced under the conditions provided for in paragraph 2.\n2. To be eligible for reduction of the amount of the refund certificate, the certificates referred to in paragraph 1 must have been applied for before 1 February 2005 and their validity period must expire after 31 January 2005.\n3. The certificate shall be reduced by the amount for which the interested party is unable to claim export refunds from 1 February 2005, as demonstrated to the satisfaction of the national competent authority.\nIn making their appraisal the competent authorities shall, in cases of doubt, have regard in particular to the commercial documents referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 4045/89.\n4. The relevant security shall be released in proportion to the reduction concerned.",
"1. To be eligible for consideration under Article 1, the national competent authority must receive the requests by 7 March 2005, at the latest.\n2. Member States shall notify the Commission not later than 14 March 2005 of the amounts for which reductions have been accepted in accordance with Article 1(3) of this Regulation. The notified amounts shall be taken into account for the determination of the amount for which refund certificates for use from 1 April 2005 shall be issued, pursuant to point (d) of Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000.",
"This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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."

(2) Active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and are listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (4).

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION | ,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (3), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2005/363/EC of 2 May 2005 concerning animal health protection measures against African swine fever in Sardinia, Italy (4) was adopted in response to a serious recrudescence of African swine fever in domestic and feral pigs in the endemically infected island of Sardinia, Italy.
(2) This Decision prohibits the dispatch from Sardinia of live pigs, their semen ova and embryos and of pig meat, pig meat products and any other products containing pig meat.
(3) However, in accordance with Article 4(3) of Directive 2002/99/EC, the Decision provides for certain derogations as regards the dispatch of certain pig meat products derived from pigs originating in holdings outside the risk areas defined in Annex I to the Decision that meet specific biosecurity requirements.
(4) During the past weeks Italy has informed the Commission of a significant increase in numbers and territorial extension of outbreaks of African swine fever in seven out of eight provinces of Sardinia, affecting also large commercial pig holdings.
(5) The current disease evolution on Sardinia is liable to endanger the pig herds in other regions of Italy and in other Member States, in view of placing on the market of pig meat and pig meat products and any other products containing pig meat. It is therefore necessary to extend the risk areas in Annex I to Decision 2005/363/EC to the whole of the region of Sardinia. Consequently, since the conditions laid down in Article 5(2)(b) of Decision 2005/363/EC cannot be met anymore, the derogation granted to Italy to authorise the dispatch of pig meat from Sardinia to areas outside Sardinia, is suspended.

,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (3), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2005/363/EC of 2 May 2005 concerning animal health protection measures against African swine fever in Sardinia, Italy (4) was adopted in response to a serious recrudescence of African swine fever in domestic and feral pigs in the endemically infected island of Sardinia, Italy.
(2) This Decision prohibits the dispatch from Sardinia of live pigs, their semen ova and embryos and of pig meat, pig meat products and any other products containing pig meat.
(3) However, in accordance with Article 4(3) of Directive 2002/99/EC, the Decision provides for certain derogations as regards the dispatch of certain pig meat products derived from pigs originating in holdings outside the risk areas defined in Annex I to the Decision that meet specific biosecurity requirements.
(4) During the past weeks Italy has informed the Commission of a significant increase in numbers and territorial extension of outbreaks of African swine fever in seven out of eight provinces of Sardinia, affecting also large commercial pig holdings.
(5) The current disease evolution on Sardinia is liable to endanger the pig herds in other regions of Italy and in other Member States, in view of placing on the market of pig meat and pig meat products and any other products containing pig meat. It is therefore necessary to extend the risk areas in Annex I to Decision 2005/363/EC to the whole of the region of Sardinia. Consequently, since the conditions laid down in Article 5(2)(b) of Decision 2005/363/EC cannot be met anymore, the derogation granted to Italy to authorise the dispatch of pig meat from Sardinia to areas outside Sardinia, is suspended. The same applies to the derogation granted under Article 6 of that Decision, to authorise the dispatch of pig meat products and other products containing pig meat from Sardinia to areas outside Sardinia.
(6) Decision 2005/363/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

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), and in particular Articles 9, 13 and 14 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 2451/95 (2) the Commission initiated an investigation concerning the circumvention of the anti-dumping duties imposed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2861/93 (3) on imports of certain magnetic disks (3,5″ microdisks) originating in Japan, Taiwan and the People's Republic of China by the same product from Canada, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Macao, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand and instructed customs authorities, pursuant to Articles 13 (3) and 14 (5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 to register the imports covered by the investigation. The investigation was initiated following a request lodged by the Committee of European Diskette Manufacturers (Diskma).
(2) The request contained prima facie evidence of a change in the pattern of trade between the countries concerned and the Community which sole due cause or justification was the existence of anti-dumping duties, and of transhipments through these countries to the Community of 3,5″ microdisks manufactured in the People's Republic of China and Taiwan. The request also showed that the imports from the countries concerned were being dumped in relation to the normal values previously established and were undermining the remedial effects of the anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of 3,5″ microdisks originating in the People's Republic of China and Taiwan. This evidence was considered to be sufficient to justify the initiation of an investigation.
(3) The product concerned is 3,5″ microdisks, used to record and store encoded digital computer information, currently classifiable within CN code ex 8523 20 90.
(4) The Commission officially advised the exporters known to be concerned and the representatives of the exporting countries about the initiation of the investigation and sent questionnaires to known exporters.
(5) The investigation covered the period 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995.

(a) Canada:
KAO Infosystems Canada Inc., Ontario;
(b) Hong Kong:
Jackin Magnetic Company Ltd,
Hong Kong Plantron (HK) Ltd,
Hong Kong Magnetic Ltd,

V-SA Magnetic Co. Ltd, Bangkok.
V-SA Magnetic was a subsidiary of V-SA Cast which held more than 50 % of the shares of V-SA Magnetic.
No exporter from Macao replied to the Commission's questionnaire.
With the exception of the companies located in Canada and the Philippines the Commission verified all the information submitted at the premises of the exporters mentioned above.
C. RESULTS
Canada, India, Philippines and Singapore
(7) The Community industry alleged in its request to initiate the circumvention investigation that the combined market share of Canada, India, Philippines and Singapore was 4,5 % of Community consumption in 1994. However, based on the latest external trade statistics of the Community (Comext), the Commission established that the market share of these countries only amounted to 2,8 % during the investigation period, and thus it was less than the de minimis import volume referred to in Article 9 (3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 for which injury shall normally be regarded as negligible. Furthermore, it was established that the imported quantities from these countries were also below the de minimis thresholds of Article 5 (8) of the Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of GATT 1994 of 3 % of total imports of the like product into the Community on a per country basis, and of 7 % for all four countries taken together.
(8) On this basis, the Commission considered it unlikely in this case that the imports from the four countries concerned could undermine in terms of quantities the remedial effects of the anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of the product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China and Taiwan.
Hong Kong
(9) Jackin Magnetic and Plantron (HK) were found to be genuine producers of microdisks which accounted for about 90 % of total Hong Kong's export volume to the Community during the investigation period. No evidence of transhipments of the finished product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China or Taiwan was found in respect of these two companies. Furthermore, it was established that for each company the parts imported from the countries subject to the anti-dumping duties constituted less than 60 % of the total value of the parts of the assembled product.
(10) Hong Kong Magnetic is a trading company which sold microdisks to the Community. However, no evidence of transhipments to the Community of the finished product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China or Taiwan was found in respect of this company.
(11) Benelux Manufacturing and its subsidiary Prime Standard were found to be related to the Indonesian producer/exporter P. T. Beneluxindo (see recital 14) and to have sold microdisks to the Community. However, no evidence of transhipments to the Community of the finished product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China or Taiwan was found in respect of these two companies in Hong Kong.
(12) Another company which was related to the Thai exporter V-SA Magnetic, refused to cooperate in the investigation (see recital 18). The Commission services will continue to monitor closely the situation in this respect.
(13) In view of these findings, it was established that the companies investigated did not fulfil the criteria set out in Article 13 (1) and (2) (b) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 according to which imports of the product concerned transhipped through or assembled in third countries respectively could be considered to constitute circumvention. Furthermore, in view of the development of the imports of microdisks from Hong Kong into the Community which decreased from 2 816 tonnes in 1993 to 1 212 tonnes during the investigation period, it seems unlikely that these imports could undermine in terms of quantities the remedial effects of the anti-dumping duties imposed on the People's Republic of China and Taiwan.
Indonesia
(14) The sole exporter/producer investigated in Indonesia, P. T. Beneluxindo, accounted for the vast majority of the recorded imports into the Community during the investigation period. P. T. Beneluxindo is a subsidiary of Benelux Manufacturing Limited, Hong Kong which supplied P. T. Beneluxindo with all the parts used for the assembly of microdisks. All finished microdisks were then sent back to Hong Kong and sold from there by the sales subsidiary of Benelux Manufacturing Limited, Prime Standard Ltd, to independent customers in the Community. The company was found to be a genuine producer and it was established that the parts imported from the People's Republic of China and Taiwan constituted far less than 60 % of the total value of the parts of the assembled product. Furthermore, no evidence of transhipments of the finished product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China or Taiwan was found in respect of P. T. Beneluxindo.
Therefore, the conditions for circumvention outlined in Article 13 (1) and (2) (b) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 have not been met in respect of the companies investigated.
Macao
(15) No company in Macao cooperated in the investigation. In these circumstances the Commission would normally be entitled to propose the extension of the anti-dumping measures to this country in order to avoid that circumvention continues. However, following an investigation by the anti-fraud services of the Commission (Uclaf), anti-dumping duties will be applied retroactively on imports of Chinese microdisks exported from Macao. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the remedial effects of the anti-dumping measures will not be significantly undermined by imports from Macao, the quantities which have fallen sharply following the anti-circumvention investigation period. In any event, the Commission will continue to monitor closely the development of imports into the Community of microdisks from Macao.
Malaysia
(16) The three exporters/producers investigated in Malaysia accounted for nearly all the recorded imports from this country into the Community during the investigation period. While two of these producers were not related to any exporter/producer in the countries subject to the anti-dumping duties, the third one (Mega High-Tech Corp.) was a subsidiary of a Taiwanese company. All three were found to be genuine producers and it was established that the parts imported from the People's Republic of China and Taiwan constituted far less than 60 % of the total value of the parts of the product assembled by each producer. Moreover, no evidence of transhipments of the finished product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China or Taiwan was found in respect of any of the Malaysian producers concerned.
Consequently the conditions for circumvention outlined in Article 13 (1) and (2) (b) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 have not been met in respect of the companies investigated.
Thailand
(17) The three companies investigated in Thailand accounted for the vast majority of all the recorded imports into the Community from this country during the investigation period. The subsidiary of V-SA Cast, V-SA magnetic (see recital 6 (h)), and General Mediatech were found to be genuine producers and the parts of Chinese or Taiwanese origin used in the assembly of microdisks constituted less than 60 % of the total value of the parts of the assembled product by each of these companies. In addition, no evidence of transhipment of the finished product from the People's Republic of China or Taiwan was found in respect to these two companies.
(18) V-SA Cast was found to have transhipped 28 million microdisks supplied by a company located in Hong Kong which held 15 % of V-SA Magnetic shares. However, given the lack of cooperation of the related company in Hong Kong, no evidence could be found which indicated that the microdisks concerned were of Chinese or Taiwanese origin. The presumption of such origin would seem to be excessively punitive for the Thai company, taking account of its efforts to persuade the Hong Kong company to cooperate in the investigation and the small shareholding by this latter company in the V-SA group.
In view of the above the Commission considers that the conditions for circumvention outlined in Article 13 (1) and (2) (b) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 have not been met in respect of the companies investigated.
D. TERMINATION OF THE INVESTIGATION
(19) In the light of the above findings and considerations made in respect of the nine countries subject to the circumvention investigation, it appears appropriate that the latter be terminated without extension to any of those countries of the anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of microdisks originating in the People's Republic of China and Taiwan. The registration of imports of microdisks from these countries introduced by Regulation (EC) No 2451/95 shall cease.
(20) The Advisory Committee has been consulted and has raised no objection.
(21) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the investigation and have been given the opportunity to comment, | [

Furthermore, it was established that for each company the parts imported from the countries subject to the anti-dumping duties constituted less than 60 % of the total value of the parts of the assembled product.
(10) Hong Kong Magnetic is a trading company which sold microdisks to the Community. However, no evidence of transhipments to the Community of the finished product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China or Taiwan was found in respect of this company.
(11) Benelux Manufacturing and its subsidiary Prime Standard were found to be related to the Indonesian producer/exporter P. T. Beneluxindo (see recital 14) and to have sold microdisks to the Community. However, no evidence of transhipments to the Community of the finished product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China or Taiwan was found in respect of these two companies in Hong Kong.
(12) Another company which was related to the Thai exporter V-SA Magnetic, refused to cooperate in the investigation (see recital 18). The Commission services will continue to monitor closely the situation in this respect.
(13) In view of these findings, it was established that the companies investigated did not fulfil the criteria set out in Article 13 (1) and (2) (b) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 according to which imports of the product concerned transhipped through or assembled in third countries respectively could be considered to constitute circumvention. Furthermore, in view of the development of the imports of microdisks from Hong Kong into the Community which decreased from 2 816 tonnes in 1993 to 1 212 tonnes during the investigation period, it seems unlikely that these imports could undermine in terms of quantities the remedial effects of the anti-dumping duties imposed on the People's Republic of China and Taiwan.
Indonesia
(14) The sole exporter/producer investigated in Indonesia, P. T. Beneluxindo, accounted for the vast majority of the recorded imports into the Community during the investigation period. P. T. Beneluxindo is a subsidiary of Benelux Manufacturing Limited, Hong Kong which supplied P. T. Beneluxindo with all the parts used for the assembly of microdisks. All finished microdisks were then sent back to Hong Kong and sold from there by the sales subsidiary of Benelux Manufacturing Limited, Prime Standard Ltd, to independent customers in the Community. The company was found to be a genuine producer and it was established that the parts imported from the People's Republic of China and Taiwan constituted far less than 60 % of the total value of the parts of the assembled product. Furthermore, no evidence of transhipments of the finished product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China or Taiwan was found in respect of P. T. Beneluxindo.
Therefore, the conditions for circumvention outlined in Article 13 (1) and (2) (b) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 have not been met in respect of the companies investigated.
Macao
(15) No company in Macao cooperated in the investigation. In these circumstances the Commission would normally be entitled to propose the extension of the anti-dumping measures to this country in order to avoid that circumvention continues. However, following an investigation by the anti-fraud services of the Commission (Uclaf), anti-dumping duties will be applied retroactively on imports of Chinese microdisks exported from Macao. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the remedial effects of the anti-dumping measures will not be significantly undermined by imports from Macao, the quantities which have fallen sharply following the anti-circumvention investigation period. In any event, the Commission will continue to monitor closely the development of imports into the Community of microdisks from Macao.
Malaysia
(16) The three exporters/producers investigated in Malaysia accounted for nearly all the recorded imports from this country into the Community during the investigation period. While two of these producers were not related to any exporter/producer in the countries subject to the anti-dumping duties, the third one (Mega High-Tech Corp.) was a subsidiary of a Taiwanese company. All three were found to be genuine producers and it was established that the parts imported from the People's Republic of China and Taiwan constituted far less than 60 % of the total value of the parts of the product assembled by each producer. Moreover, no evidence of transhipments of the finished product concerned originating in the People's Republic of China or Taiwan was found in respect of any of the Malaysian producers concerned.
Consequently the conditions for circumvention outlined in Article 13 (1) and (2) (b) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 have not been met in respect of the companies investigated.
Thailand
(17) The three companies investigated in Thailand accounted for the vast majority of all the recorded imports into the Community from this country during the investigation period. The subsidiary of V-SA Cast, V-SA magnetic (see recital 6 (h)), and General Mediatech were found to be genuine producers and the parts of Chinese or Taiwanese origin used in the assembly of microdisks constituted less than 60 % of the total value of the parts of the assembled product by each of these companies. In addition, no evidence of transhipment of the finished product from the People's Republic of China or Taiwan was found in respect to these two companies.
(18) V-SA Cast was found to have transhipped 28 million microdisks supplied by a company located in Hong Kong which held 15 % of V-SA Magnetic shares. However, given the lack of cooperation of the related company in Hong Kong, no evidence could be found which indicated that the microdisks concerned were of Chinese or Taiwanese origin. The presumption of such origin would seem to be excessively punitive for the Thai company, taking account of its efforts to persuade the Hong Kong company to cooperate in the investigation and the small shareholding by this latter company in the V-SA group.
In view of the above the Commission considers that the conditions for circumvention outlined in Article 13 (1) and (2) (b) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 have not been met in respect of the companies investigated.
D. TERMINATION OF THE INVESTIGATION
(19) In the light of the above findings and considerations made in respect of the nine countries subject to the circumvention investigation, it appears appropriate that the latter be terminated without extension to any of those countries of the anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of microdisks originating in the People's Republic of China and Taiwan. The registration of imports of microdisks from these countries introduced by Regulation (EC) No 2451/95 shall cease.
(20) The Advisory Committee has been consulted and has raised no objection.
(21) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the investigation and have been given the opportunity to comment, | 562 |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE 2012/52/EU
of 20 December 2012
laying down measures to facilitate the recognition of medical prescriptions issued in another Member State
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION | ,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2011/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 on the application of patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare (1), and in particular points (a), (c) and (d) of Article 11(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 11(2) of Directive 2011/24/EU, the Commission has an obligation to adopt measures to facilitate the recognition of medical prescriptions issued in a Member State other than the Member State where the prescriptions are dispensed.
(2) Pursuant to point (a) of Article 11(2) of Directive 2011/24/EU, the Commission is to adopt a non-exhaustive list of elements to be included in those prescriptions. That list should enable the dispensing health professional to verify the authenticity of the prescription and whether it was issued by a member of a regulated health profession who is legally entitled to do so.
(3) The elements to be included in the prescriptions should facilitate the correct identification of medicinal products or medical devices as referred to in point (c) of Article 11 (2) of Directive 2011/24/EU.
(4) Medicinal products should therefore be indicated using the common name in order to facilitate the correct identification of products which are marketed under different brand names across the Union and of products that are not marketed in all Member States. That common name to be used should be either the International Non-proprietary name recommended by the World Health Organisation or, if such name does not exist, the usual common name. In contrast, the brand name of a medicinal product should only be used to ensure clear identification of biological medicinal products as defined in point 3.2.1.1.(b) of Annex I to Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community Code relating to medicinal products for human use (2), because of the special characteristics of those products, or of other medicinal products in cases where the prescribing professional considers it medically necessary.
(5) Medical devices do not have common names as medicinal products. Therefore the prescription should also include direct contact details of the prescriber which enable the dispensing professional, where necessary, to enquire about the prescribed medical device and correctly identify it.
(6) The non-exhaustive list of elements to appear on the prescriptions should facilitate the comprehensibility of the information to patients concerning the prescription and the instructions included on the use of the product, as referred to in point (d) of Article 11(2) of Directive 2011/24/EU. The Commission will regularly review the situation in order to assess whether additional measures are necessary to help patients understand the instructions concerning the use of the product.
(7) To enable patients to request appropriate prescriptions, it is important that national contact points referred to in Article 6 of Directive 2011/24/EU provide patients with adequate information on the content and purpose of the non-exhaustive list of elements that should appear in those prescriptions.

,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2011/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 on the application of patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare (1), and in particular points (a), (c) and (d) of Article 11(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 11(2) of Directive 2011/24/EU, the Commission has an obligation to adopt measures to facilitate the recognition of medical prescriptions issued in a Member State other than the Member State where the prescriptions are dispensed.
(2) Pursuant to point (a) of Article 11(2) of Directive 2011/24/EU, the Commission is to adopt a non-exhaustive list of elements to be included in those prescriptions. That list should enable the dispensing health professional to verify the authenticity of the prescription and whether it was issued by a member of a regulated health profession who is legally entitled to do so.
(3) The elements to be included in the prescriptions should facilitate the correct identification of medicinal products or medical devices as referred to in point (c) of Article 11 (2) of Directive 2011/24/EU.
(4) Medicinal products should therefore be indicated using the common name in order to facilitate the correct identification of products which are marketed under different brand names across the Union and of products that are not marketed in all Member States. That common name to be used should be either the International Non-proprietary name recommended by the World Health Organisation or, if such name does not exist, the usual common name. In contrast, the brand name of a medicinal product should only be used to ensure clear identification of biological medicinal products as defined in point 3.2.1.1.(b) of Annex I to Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community Code relating to medicinal products for human use (2), because of the special characteristics of those products, or of other medicinal products in cases where the prescribing professional considers it medically necessary.
(5) Medical devices do not have common names as medicinal products. Therefore the prescription should also include direct contact details of the prescriber which enable the dispensing professional, where necessary, to enquire about the prescribed medical device and correctly identify it.
(6) The non-exhaustive list of elements to appear on the prescriptions should facilitate the comprehensibility of the information to patients concerning the prescription and the instructions included on the use of the product, as referred to in point (d) of Article 11(2) of Directive 2011/24/EU. The Commission will regularly review the situation in order to assess whether additional measures are necessary to help patients understand the instructions concerning the use of the product.
(7) To enable patients to request appropriate prescriptions, it is important that national contact points referred to in Article 6 of Directive 2011/24/EU provide patients with adequate information on the content and purpose of the non-exhaustive list of elements that should appear in those prescriptions.
(8) As the overall impact of cross-border healthcare is limited, the non-exhaustive list of elements should apply only to prescriptions intended to be used in another Member State.
(9) As the principle of mutual recognition of prescriptions derives from Article 56 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, this Directive does not preclude the Member States from applying the principle of mutual recognition to prescriptions that do not contain the elements set out in the non-exhaustive list. At the same time, nothing in this Directive prevents the Member States from providing that prescriptions drafted on their territory, with a view to be used in another Member State, contain additional elements that are provided for under the rules applicable on their territory, as long as these rules are compatible with Union law.

| 30.5.2009 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 135/21
COUNCIL DECISION
of 27 April 2009
on the existence of an excessive deficit in Greece
(2009/415/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(6) thereof,
Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,
Having regard to the observations made by Greece,
Whereas:
(1) According to Article 104 of the Treaty Member States are to avoid excessive government deficits.
(2) The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.
(3) The excessive deficit procedure (EDP) under Article 104, as clarified by Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure (1) (which is part of the Stability and Growth Pact), provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the EDP. Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 (2) lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provisions of the said Protocol.
(4) The 2005 reform of the Stability and Growth Pact sought to strengthen its effectiveness and economic underpinnings as well as to safeguard the sustainability of the public finances in the long run. It aimed at ensuring that in particular the economic and budgetary background was taken fully into account in all steps in the EDP. In this way, the Stability and Growth Pact provides the framework supporting government policies for a prompt return to sound budgetary positions taking account of the economic situation.
(5) Article 104(5) of the Treaty requires the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considers that an excessive deficit in a Member State exists or may occur. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4), the Commission concluded that an excessive deficit exists in Greece. The Commission therefore addressed such an opinion to the Council in respect of Greece on 24 March 2009 (3).
(6) Article 104(6) of the Treaty states that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Greece, this overall assessment leads to the following conclusions.
(7) The general government deficit in Greece reached 3,5 % of GDP in 2007, thus exceeding the 3 % of GDP reference value. According to the Commission services' January 2009 interim forecast, the general government deficit net of one-offs is estimated at 3,6 % of GDP in 2008 (or 3,4 % of GDP including one-offs). This estimation is based on a real GDP growth rate of 2,9 % in 2008 and takes account of the latest information on the execution of the 2008 Budget Law. For 2009, the Commission services' January 2009 interim forecast projects the general government deficit net of one-offs at 4,4 % of GDP (3,7 % including one-off revenues) based on a real GDP growth projection of 0,2 % and on the basis of a prudent assessment of the 2009 Budget Law approved by Parliament on 21 December. Based on the customary unchanged policy assumption and assuming the discontinuation of one-off measures, the 2010 deficit is projected at 4,2 % of GDP. Therefore, the deficit criterion in the Treaty is not fulfilled.
(8) General government gross debt stood at 94,8 % of GDP in 2007 and 94,6 % of GDP in 2008, well above the 60 % of GDP Treaty reference value. According to the Commission services' January 2009 interim forecast, the general government debt ratio is projected to increase further to 96,25 % in 2009 and 98,5 % of GDP by 2010. The current deficit levels and estimates of medium-term growth are not compatible with a debt ratio converging to a level below 60 % of GDP. The debt ratio cannot be considered as diminishing sufficiently and approaching the reference value at a satisfactory pace within the meaning of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact.
(9) According to Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97, ‘relevant factors’ can only be taken into account in the steps leading to the Council decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in accordance with Article 104(6) if the double condition – that the deficit remains close to the reference value and that its excess over the reference value is temporary – is fully met. In the case of Greece, this double condition is not met. Therefore, relevant factors are not taken into account in the steps leading to this Decision, | [

| COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 249/88
of 25 January 1988
opening, allocating and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for cod and fish of the species Boreogadus saida, dried, salted or in brine, originating in Norway (1988)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas an Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway was concluded on 14 May 1973; whereas, consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community, an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters was concluded and approved by the Decision 86/557/EEC (1);
Whereas the latter Agreement provides for the opening, on a date to be fixed by common accord, of Community tariff quotas at reduced or zero duty for cod and fish of the species Boreogadus saida originating in Norway; whereas the tariff quotas in question should therefore be opened for the period agreed for 1988, namely 1 April to 31 December 1988;
Whereas the Community has adopted, with effect from 1 January 1988, a combined nomenclature for goods which meets the requirements of the Common Customs Tariff and the Nomenclature of Goods for the External Trade Statistics of the Community and Statistics of Trade between Member States; whereas in order to accomodate specific Community measures that nomenclature has been expanded into an integrated tariff of the European Communities (Taric); whereas from that date the combined nomenclature and, where appropriate, the Taric code numbers should be used for the description of the products covered by this Regulation;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quotas should be ensured for all importers and the rates laid down for the quotas should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question until the quotas are exhausted; whereas, in the light of these principles, allocation of the tariff quotas among the Member States would seem to preserve the Community nature of the quotas; whereas in order to correspond as closely as possible to the real trend of the market for the products in question the allocation should reflect the requirements of the Member States based on statistics of imports of the said products from Norway during a representative reference period and on the economic outlook for the quota year in question;
Whereas during the last three years for which statistics are available imports into the Member States from Norway were as follows:
(tonnes)
1.2,4.5,7.8,10 // // // // // Member State // ex 0305 51 10 0305 59 11 // ex 0305 51 90 0305 59 19 // ex 0305 62 00 0305 69 10 // // // // // // 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10 // // 1984 // 1985 // 1986 // 1984 // 1985 // 1986 // 1984 // 1985 // 1986 // // // // // // // // // // // Benelux // 89 // 80 // 54 // 441 // 372 // 110 // 1 // 2 // 2 // Denmark // 2 // 0 // 1 // 5 // 3 // 3 // 319 // 3 // 1 966 // Germany // 59 // 49 // 19 // 543 // 473 // 400 // 2 // - // 1 // Greece // 44 // 26 // 19 // 223 // 417 // 84 // 148 // 336 // 619 // Spain // - // - // - // - // - // - // 858 // 430 // 1 074 // France // 47 // 36 // 19 // 3 816 // 3 573 // 3 496 // 1 044 // 666 // 701 // Ireland // - // - // - // - // - // - // - // - // - // Italy // 4 087 // 4 457 // 3 375 // 5 280 // 4 231 // 1 550 // 1 808 // 2 159 // 1 827 // Portugal // - // - // - // 13 230 // 6 217 // 6 401 // 5 143 // 4 235 // 1 675 // United Kingdom // 20 // 35 // 18 // 2 // 6 // 9 // 16 // - // - // // // // // // // // // // // // 4 348 // 4 683 // 3 505 // 23 540 // 15 292 // 12 053 // 9 339 // 7 831 // 7 865 // // // // // // // //
(1) OJ No L 328, 22. 11. 1986, p. 76.
Whereas, during the years under consideration, the products in question were imported only by certain Member States and not at all by the other Member States; whereas, under these circumstances, initial shares should be allocated to the importing Member States and the other Member States should be guaranteed access to the benefit of the tariff quotas when imports into those States of the products concerned are notified; whereas these allocation arrangements will ensure the uniform application of the applicable customs duties;
Whereas, in view of these factors, the initial percentage shares of the quota volumes can be expressed approximately as follows:
1.2.3.4 // // // // // Member State // ex 0305 51 10 0305 59 11 // ex 0305 51 90 0305 59 19 // ex 0305 62 00 0305 69 10 // // // // // Benelux // 1,78 // 1,82 // 0,02 // Denmark // 0,02 // 0,02 // 9,14 // Germany // 1,01 // 2,78 // 0,01 // Greece // 0,71 // 1,42 // 4,41 // Spain // - // - // 9,44 // France // 0,82 // 21,39 // 9,63 // Ireland // - // - // - // Italy // 95,08 // 21,74 // 23,14 // Portugal // - // 50,80 // 44,15 // United Kingdom // 0,58 // 0,03 // 0,06 // // // //
Whereas, to allow for the trend of imports of the products concerned in the various Member States, each of the quota volumes should be divided into the parts, the first being allocated among certain Member States and the second held as a reserve to cover any subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial shares and any requirements which might arise in the other Member States; whereas, to afford importers in each Member State some degree of certainty, an appropriate level for the first part of the Community quotas would, in the present circumstances, be 75 % of the quota volume;
Whereas the initial shares of the Member States may be used up at different rates; whereas, in order to avoid any break in the continuity of supplies on this account, it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used up one of its initial shares should draw an additional share from the corresponding reserve; whereas each time one of its additional shares is almost used up a Member State should draw a further share and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas each of the initial and additional shares must be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must be able to monitor the extent to which the quota volumes have been used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas if at a given date in the quota period a considerable quantity of one of a Member State's initial shares remains unused, it is essential that the Member State concerned should return a significant proportion thereof to the corresponding reserve in order to prevent part of one of the Community tariff quotas from remaining unused in one Member State when it could be used in others;
Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members, | [
"1. From 1 April to 31 December 1988 the customs duties applicable to imports of the following products originating in Norway shall be suspended at the levels indicated and within the limits of Community tariff quotas as shown below:\n1.2.3.4.5 // // // // // // Order No // CN Code // Description // Volume of quota (tonnes) // Rate of duty (%) // // // // // // // // // // // // 0305 // Fish, dried, salted or in brine; smoked fish, whether or not cooked before or during the smoking process; fish meal fit for human consumption: // // // // // Dried fish, whether or not salted but not smoked: // // // // 0305 51 // Cod (Gadus morhua, Gadus ogac, Gadus macrocephalus): // // // 09.0707 // ex 0305 51 10 // Dried, unsalted: // // // // // Excluding cod of the species Gadus macrocephalus // 3 900 // 0 // // 0305 59 // Other: // // // // // Fish of the species Boreogadus saida: // // // // 0305 59 11 // Dried, unsalted // // // // // // // // Order No // CN Code // Description // Volume of quota (tonnes) // Rate of duty (%) // // // // // // // // 0305 51 // cod (Gadus morhua, Gadus ogac, Gadus macrocephalus): // // // 09.0703 // ex 0305 51 90 // Dried, salted: // // // // // Excluding cod of the species Gadus macrocephalus // 13 250 // 0 // // 0305 59 // Other: // // // // // Fish of the species Boreogadus saida: // // // // 0305 59 19 // Dried, salted // // // // // Fish, salted but not dried or smoked and fish in brine: // // // 09.0705 // ex 0305 62 00 // Cod (Gadus morhua, Gadus ogac, Gadus macrocephalus): // 10 000 // 0 // // // Excluding the species Gadus macrocephalus // // // // 0305 69 // Other: // // // // 0305 69 10 // Fish of the species Boreogadus saida // // // // // // //\nWithin the limits of the above tariff quotas the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic shall apply duties of 4,3 and 0 % respectively.\n2.

The Protocol concerning the definition of the concept of 'originating products' and methods of administrative cooperation annexed to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway shall apply.",
"1. The tariff quotas referred to in paragraph 1 shall be divided into two parts.\n2. The first part of each quota shall be allocated among certain Member States; subject to Article 5 the respective shares shall be valid until 31 December 1988 and shall be as follows:\n(tonnes)\n1.2,4 // // // Member States // Order number // // 1.2.3.4 // // 09.0707 // 09.0703 // 09.0705 // // // // // Benelux // 52 // 182 // 2 // Denmark // 1 // 2 // 685 // Germany // 29 // 278 // 1 // Greece // 21 // 142 // 331 // Spain // - // - // 708 // France // 24 // 2 139 // 722 // Ireland // - // - // - // Italy // 2 781 // 2 174 // 1 735 // Portugal // - // 5 080 // 3 311 // United Kingdom // 17 // 3 // 5 // // // // // // 2 925 // 10 000 // 7 500 // // // //\n3. The second part of each quota, amounting to 975, 3 250 and 2 500 tonnes respectively, shall constitute the corresponding reserves.\n4. If an importer gives notification of imminent imports of the products concerned into a Member State not covered by the initial allocation and applies to take advantage of the quota, the Member State concerned shall inform the Commission and draw an amount corresponding to its requirements to the extent that the available balance of the reserve so permits.",

] | Council Regulation (EEC) No 249/88 of 25 January 1988 opening, allocating and providing for the administration of Community tariff quotas for cod and fish of the species Boreogadus saida, dried, salted or in brine, originating in Norway (1988)
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas an Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway was concluded on 14 May 1973; whereas, consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to the Community, an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters was concluded and approved by the Decision 86/557/EEC (1);
Whereas the latter Agreement provides for the opening, on a date to be fixed by common accord, of Community tariff quotas at reduced or zero duty for cod and fish of the species Boreogadus saida originating in Norway; whereas the tariff quotas in question should therefore be opened for the period agreed for 1988, namely 1 April to 31 December 1988;
Whereas the Community has adopted, with effect from 1 January 1988, a combined nomenclature for goods which meets the requirements of the Common Customs Tariff and the Nomenclature of Goods for the External Trade Statistics of the Community and Statistics of Trade between Member States; whereas in order to accomodate specific Community measures that nomenclature has been expanded into an integrated tariff of the European Communities (Taric); whereas from that date the combined nomenclature and, where appropriate, the Taric code numbers should be used for the description of the products covered by this Regulation;
Whereas equal and continuous access to the quotas should be ensured for all importers and the rates laid down for the quotas should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question until the quotas are exhausted; whereas, in the light of these principles, allocation of the tariff quotas among the Member States would seem to preserve the Community nature of the quotas; whereas in order to correspond as closely as possible to the real trend of the market for the products in question the allocation should reflect the requirements of the Member States based on statistics of imports of the said products from Norway during a representative reference period and on the economic outlook for the quota year in question;
Whereas during the last three years for which statistics are available imports into the Member States from Norway were as follows:
(tonnes)
1.2,4.5,7.8,10 // // // // // Member State // ex 0305 51 10 0305 59 11 // ex 0305 51 90 0305 59 19 // ex 0305 62 00 0305 69 10 // // // // // // 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10 // // 1984 // 1985 // 1986 // 1984 // 1985 // 1986 // 1984 // 1985 // 1986 // // // // // // // // // // // Benelux // 89 // 80 // 54 // 441 // 372 // 110 // 1 // 2 // 2 // Denmark // 2 // 0 // 1 // 5 // 3 // 3 // 319 // 3 // 1 966 // Germany // 59 // 49 // 19 // 543 // 473 // 400 // 2 // - // 1 // Greece // 44 // 26 // 19 // 223 // 417 // 84 // 148 // 336 // 619 // Spain // - // - // - // - // - // - // 858 // 430 // 1 074 // France // 47 // 36 // 19 // 3 816 // 3 573 // 3 496 // 1 044 // 666 // 701 // Ireland // - // - // - // - // - // - // - // - // - // Italy // 4 087 // 4 457 // 3 375 // 5 280 // 4 231 // 1 550 // 1 808 // 2 159 // 1 827 // Portugal // - // - // - // 13 230 // 6 217 // 6 401 // 5 143 // 4 235 // 1 675 // United Kingdom // 20 // 35 // 18 // 2 // 6 // 9 // 16 // - // - // // // // // // // // // // // // 4 348 // 4 683 // 3 505 // 23 540 // 15 292 // 12 053 // 9 339 // 7 831 // 7 865 // // // // // // // //
(1) OJ No L 328, 22. 11. 1986, p. 76.
Whereas, during the years under consideration, the products in question were imported only by certain Member States and not at all by the other Member States; whereas, under these circumstances, initial shares should be allocated to the importing Member States and the other Member States should be guaranteed access to the benefit of the tariff quotas when imports into those States of the products concerned are notified; whereas these allocation arrangements will ensure the uniform application of the applicable customs duties;
Whereas, in view of these factors, the initial percentage shares of the quota volumes can be expressed approximately as follows:
1.2.3.4 // // // // // Member State // ex 0305 51 10 0305 59 11 // ex 0305 51 90 0305 59 19 // ex 0305 62 00 0305 69 10 // // // // // Benelux // 1,78 // 1,82 // 0,02 // Denmark // 0,02 // 0,02 // 9,14 // Germany // 1,01 // 2,78 // 0,01 // Greece // 0,71 // 1,42 // 4,41 // Spain // - // - // 9,44 // France // 0,82 // 21,39 // 9,63 // Ireland // - // - // - // Italy // 95,08 // 21,74 // 23,14 // Portugal // - // 50,80 // 44,15 // United Kingdom // 0,58 // 0,03 // 0,06 // // // //
Whereas, to allow for the trend of imports of the products concerned in the various Member States, each of the quota volumes should be divided into the parts, the first being allocated among certain Member States and the second held as a reserve to cover any subsequent requirements of Member States which have used up their initial shares and any requirements which might arise in the other Member States; whereas, to afford importers in each Member State some degree of certainty, an appropriate level for the first part of the Community quotas would, in the present circumstances, be 75 % of the quota volume;
Whereas the initial shares of the Member States may be used up at different rates; whereas, in order to avoid any break in the continuity of supplies on this account, it should be provided that any Member State which has almost used up one of its initial shares should draw an additional share from the corresponding reserve; whereas each time one of its additional shares is almost used up a Member State should draw a further share and so on as many times as the reserve allows; whereas each of the initial and additional shares must be valid until the end of the quota period; whereas this form of administration requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must be able to monitor the extent to which the quota volumes have been used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas if at a given date in the quota period a considerable quantity of one of a Member State's initial shares remains unused, it is essential that the Member State concerned should return a significant proportion thereof to the corresponding reserve in order to prevent part of one of the Community tariff quotas from remaining unused in one Member State when it could be used in others;
Whereas since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within and jointly represented by the Benelux Economic Union, any operation concerning the administration of the quota shares allocated to that economic union may be carried out by any one of its members, | 578 |

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(2), and in particular Articles 1(2) and 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(3). 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, | [

Whereas table grapes are produced in such quantities in the Community that reference prices should be fixed for them;
Whereas table grapes harvested during a given crop year are marketed from May to April of the next year; whereas the quantities harvested in May and June, during the first 20 days of July and also January to April of the next year are so small that there is no need to fix reference prices for these periods; whereas, due principally to developments in production techniques, a relatively large increase in the marketing of Community products during the last 10 days of November and in the month of December can be expected; whereas, however, the figures at present available are insufficiently conclusive to justify fixing a reference price for that period; whereas, reference prices should be fixed only for the period 21 July to 20 November inclusive;
Whereas Article 23 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates that reference prices are to be fixed at the same level as for the preceding marketing year, adjusted, after deducting the standard cost of transporting Community products between production areas and Community consumption centres in the preceding year, by:
- the increase in production costs for fruit and vegetables, less productivity growth, and
- the standard rate of transport costs in the current marketing year;
Whereas the resulting figure may nevertheless not exceed the arithmetic mean of producer prices in each Member State plus transport costs for the current year, after this amount has been increased by the rise in production costs less productivity growth; whereas the reference price may, however, not be lower than in the preceding marketing year;
Whereas, to take seasonal variations into account, the year should be divided into several periods and a reference price fixed for each of these periods;
Whereas producer prices are to correspond to the average of the prices recorded on the representative market or markets situated in the production areas where prices are lowest during the three years prior to the date on which the reference price is fixed, for a home-grown product with defined commercial characteristics, being a product or variety representing a substantial proportion of the production marketed over the year or over part thereof and satisfying specified requirements as regards market preparation; whereas, when the average of prices recorded on each representative market is being calculated, prices which could be considered excessively high or excessively low in relation to normal price fluctuations on that market are to be disregarded;

(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.

That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). 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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 41/2009
of 20 January 2009
concerning the composition and labelling of foodstuffs suitable for people intolerant to gluten
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/398/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses (1), and in particular Article 2(3) and Article 4a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 89/398/EEC concerns foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses which owing to their special composition or manufacturing process are intended to satisfy the particular nutritional requirements of specific categories of the population. People with coeliac disease are such a specific group of the population suffering from a permanent intolerance to gluten.
(2) The food industry has developed a range of products presented as ‘gluten-free’ or similar equivalent terms. Differences between national provisions concerning the conditions for the use of such product descriptions may impede the free movement of the concerned products and may fail to ensure the same high level of protection for consumers. For the sake of clarity and in order to avoid confusing consumers with different types of product descriptions at national level, the conditions for the use of the terms related to the absence of gluten should be laid down at Community level.
(3) Wheat (i.e. all Triticum species, such as durum wheat, spelt, and kamut), rye and barley, have been identified as grains that are scientifically reported to contain gluten. The gluten present in those grains can cause adverse health effects to persons intolerant to gluten and therefore should be avoided by them.
(4) The removal of gluten from gluten-containing grains presents considerable technical difficulties and economic constraints and therefore the manufacture of totally gluten-free food is difficult. Consequently, many foodstuffs for this particular nutritional use on the market may contain low residual amounts of gluten.
(5) Most but not all people with intolerance to gluten can include oats in their diet without adverse effect on their health. This is an issue of ongoing study and investigation by the scientific community. However, a major concern is the contamination of oats with wheat, rye or barley that can occur during grain harvesting, transport, storage and processing. Therefore, the risk of gluten contamination in products containing oats should be taken into consideration with regard to labelling of those products.
(6) Different people with intolerance to gluten may tolerate variable small amounts of gluten within a restricted range. In order to enable individuals to find on the market a variety of foodstuffs appropriate for their needs and for their level of sensitivity, a choice of products should be possible with different low levels of gluten within such a restricted range. It is important, however, that the different products should be properly labelled in order to ensure the correct use of those products by people intolerant to gluten with the support of information campaigns fostered in the Member States.
(7) Foodstuffs for particular nutritional uses which have been specially formulated, processed or prepared to meet the dietary needs of people intolerant to gluten and marketed as such should be labelled either as ‘very low gluten’ or ‘gluten-free’ in accordance with the provisions laid down in this Regulation. These provisions can be achieved by the use of foodstuffs which have been specially processed to reduce the gluten content of one or more gluten containing ingredients and/or foodstuffs where the gluten containing ingredients have been substituted by other ingredients naturally free of gluten.
(8) Article 2(3) of Directive 89/398/EEC provides for the possibility for foodstuffs for normal consumption which are suitable for a particular nutritional use to indicate such suitability. Therefore, it should be possible for a normal food which is suitable as part of a gluten-free diet because it does not contain ingredients derived from gluten containing grains or oats to bear terms indicating the absence of gluten. 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 (2), requires that such a statement does not mislead the consumer by suggesting that the food possesses special characteristics when in fact all similar foodstuffs possess such characteristics.
(9) Commission Directive 2006/141/EC of 22 December 2006 on infant formulae and follow-on formulae and amending Directive 1999/21/EC (3), prohibits the use of ingredients containing gluten in the manufacture of such foodstuffs. Therefore, the use of the terms ‘very low gluten’ or ‘gluten-free’ on the labelling of such products should be prohibited given that pursuant to the present Regulation, this labelling is used for indicating respectively a content of gluten not exceeding 100 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg.
(10) Commission Directive 2006/125/EC of 5 December 2006 on processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for infants and young children (4) requires the indication of the presence or the absence of gluten when the product is intended for infants below six months of age. The absence of gluten in those products should be indicated in accordance with the requirements laid down in this Regulation.
(11) The Codex Standard for Foods for Special Dietary Use for Persons Intolerant to Gluten was adopted by the 31st session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission in July 2008 (5), with a view to enabling those persons to find on the market a variety of food suitable to their needs and to their level of sensitivity to gluten. That standard should be taken appropriately into consideration for the purposes of this Regulation.
(12) In order to allow the economic operators to adapt their production process, the date of application of the present Regulation should allow the necessary transitional period. However products which at the date of entry into force of this Regulation already comply with it can be marketed in the Community as from the date of entry into force of the present Regulation.
(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, | [

] | Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009 of 20 January 2009 concerning the composition and labelling of foodstuffs suitable for people intolerant to gluten (Text with EEA relevance)
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/398/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses (1), and in particular Article 2(3) and Article 4a thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 89/398/EEC concerns foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses which owing to their special composition or manufacturing process are intended to satisfy the particular nutritional requirements of specific categories of the population. People with coeliac disease are such a specific group of the population suffering from a permanent intolerance to gluten.
(2) The food industry has developed a range of products presented as ‘gluten-free’ or similar equivalent terms. Differences between national provisions concerning the conditions for the use of such product descriptions may impede the free movement of the concerned products and may fail to ensure the same high level of protection for consumers. For the sake of clarity and in order to avoid confusing consumers with different types of product descriptions at national level, the conditions for the use of the terms related to the absence of gluten should be laid down at Community level.
(3) Wheat (i.e. all Triticum species, such as durum wheat, spelt, and kamut), rye and barley, have been identified as grains that are scientifically reported to contain gluten. The gluten present in those grains can cause adverse health effects to persons intolerant to gluten and therefore should be avoided by them.
(4) The removal of gluten from gluten-containing grains presents considerable technical difficulties and economic constraints and therefore the manufacture of totally gluten-free food is difficult. Consequently, many foodstuffs for this particular nutritional use on the market may contain low residual amounts of gluten.
(5) Most but not all people with intolerance to gluten can include oats in their diet without adverse effect on their health. This is an issue of ongoing study and investigation by the scientific community. However, a major concern is the contamination of oats with wheat, rye or barley that can occur during grain harvesting, transport, storage and processing. Therefore, the risk of gluten contamination in products containing oats should be taken into consideration with regard to labelling of those products.
(6) Different people with intolerance to gluten may tolerate variable small amounts of gluten within a restricted range. In order to enable individuals to find on the market a variety of foodstuffs appropriate for their needs and for their level of sensitivity, a choice of products should be possible with different low levels of gluten within such a restricted range. It is important, however, that the different products should be properly labelled in order to ensure the correct use of those products by people intolerant to gluten with the support of information campaigns fostered in the Member States.
(7) Foodstuffs for particular nutritional uses which have been specially formulated, processed or prepared to meet the dietary needs of people intolerant to gluten and marketed as such should be labelled either as ‘very low gluten’ or ‘gluten-free’ in accordance with the provisions laid down in this Regulation. These provisions can be achieved by the use of foodstuffs which have been specially processed to reduce the gluten content of one or more gluten containing ingredients and/or foodstuffs where the gluten containing ingredients have been substituted by other ingredients naturally free of gluten.
(8) Article 2(3) of Directive 89/398/EEC provides for the possibility for foodstuffs for normal consumption which are suitable for a particular nutritional use to indicate such suitability. Therefore, it should be possible for a normal food which is suitable as part of a gluten-free diet because it does not contain ingredients derived from gluten containing grains or oats to bear terms indicating the absence of gluten. 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 (2), requires that such a statement does not mislead the consumer by suggesting that the food possesses special characteristics when in fact all similar foodstuffs possess such characteristics.

Therefore, the use of the terms ‘very low gluten’ or ‘gluten-free’ on the labelling of such products should be prohibited given that pursuant to the present Regulation, this labelling is used for indicating respectively a content of gluten not exceeding 100 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg.

The absence of gluten in those products should be indicated in accordance with the requirements laid down in this Regulation.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas production of the products referred to in this Regulation is at present inadequate or non-existent within the Community and producers are thus unable to meet the needs of user industries in the Community;
Whereas it is in the Community's interest in certain cases to suspend the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties only partially, particularly because of the existence of Community production, and in other cases to suspend them completely;
Whereas the decision for the suspension of these autonomous duties should be taken by the Community;
Whereas, taking account of the difficulties involved in accurately assessing the development of the economic situation in the sectors concerned in the near future, these suspension measures should be taken only temporarily, by fixing their period of validity by reference to the interests of Community production, | [

COUNCIL DECISION
of 5 March 2009
on the approval of amendments to the Convention on future multilateral cooperation in the North-East Atlantic Fisheries allowing for the establishment of dispute settlement procedures, the extension of the scope of the Convention and a review of the objectives of the Convention
(2009/550/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION | ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37, in conjunction with Article 300(2) and the first subparagraph of Article 300(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) The Convention on future multilateral cooperation in the North-East Atlantic Fisheries (the Convention), was signed in London on 18 November 1980 and entered into force on 17 March 1982.
(2) The Community acceded to the Convention on 13 July 1981 (2).
(3) According to Article 19(2) of the Convention the adoption of an amendment to the Convention requires a three-fourths majority of all Contracting Parties. In accordance with Article 19(3) of the Convention, an amendment will take effect 120 days following the date of notification by the Depositary of receipt of written notification of approval by three-fourths of all Contracting Parties.
(4) The Contracting Parties to the Convention adopted an amendment to the Convention at the 23rd Annual Meeting of the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) in November 2004 allowing NEAFC to adopt recommendations establishing procedures for the settlement of disputes arising from the Convention.
(5) By postal vote on 11 August 2006 the Contracting Parties to the Convention adopted an amendment to the Convention whereby the scope of the Convention was extended so as to include sedentary species and the objectives of the Convention were broadened. The Convention was also amended so as to mention developments in other international forums for fisheries management that affect fisheries in the NEAFC Convention area, and certain new definitions were introduced.
(6) Sedentary species are harvested or affected by fisheries and it is therefore appropriate to include those species in the scope of the Convention.
(7) The Convention provides that NEAFC shall perform its functions in the interest of the conservation and optimum utilisation of fishery resources. In addition to these objectives, it is important to underline the importance of long-term management and that the management of fishery resources should provide sustainable economic, environmental and social benefits. It is therefore appropriate to include these elements as objectives in the Convention.
(8) According to the Convention, NEAFC shall, in performing its functions, take account of the best scientific evidence available to it. In fulfilling the objectives, it is also important to take into account the precautionary approach, the ecosystem approach and the need to conserve marine biological diversity. It is therefore appropriate that NEAFC also take these elements into account in performing its functions.
(9) A dispute settlement procedure established under the Convention should enable the expeditious settlement of disputes, which would be in the interest of the Community.
(10) Furthermore, such a procedure would help towards the strengthening and modernisation of regional fisheries management organisations, in particular the NEAFC, and thereby ensure the long-term sustainability of the fisheries in the North-East Atlantic.
(11) In the light of the fishing possibilities accruing to the Community under the Convention, it is therefore in the Community’s interest to approve the proposed amendments, | [
"The amendments to the Convention are hereby approved on behalf of the European Community.\nThe text of the amendments to the Convention are attached to this Decision.",
"The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person(s) empowered to notify the Depositary Government of the Community’s approval in accordance with Article 19(3) of the Convention (3)."
