Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 92/19/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Directive 86/109/EEC of 27 February 1986 limiting the marketing of seed of certain species of fodder plants and oil and fibre plants to seed which has been officially certified as 'basic seed' or 'certified seed' (3), as last  amended by Directive 91/376/EEC (4), and in particular Article 2a thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the Federal Republic of Germany,
Whereas in Germany the production of seed of bitter white lupin satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/401/EEC has been insufficient in 1992 and therefore is not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with such seed from other Member States or from third countries satisfying all the requirements laid down in Directive 66/401/EEC;
Whereas the Federal Republic of Germany should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 31 October 1993 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States, which are able to supply the Federal Republic of Germany with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided it is intended for  the Federal Republic of Germany;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The Federal Republic of Germany is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 October 1993, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 400 tonnes of commercial seed of bitter white lupin (Lupinus albus L.). The official lable shall  stated: 'Intended exclusively for Germany'.
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a total amount of 400 tonnes of commercial seed of bitter white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) provided  that it is intended exclusively for the Federal Republic of Germany. The official label shall state: 'Intended exclusively for Germany'.
Member States shall notify the Commission before 31 December 1993 of the quantities of seed marketed in their territory pursuant to his Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.

(notified under document C(2010) 7109)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2010/633/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2009/158/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs (1), and in particular point 2 of Annex III thereto,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 93/152/EEC (2) lays down certain rules concerning the vaccines to be used in routine vaccination programmes against Newcastle disease.
(2) In particular, that Decision sets out the criteria that have to be met for the intracerebral pathogenicity index (ICPI) in respect of the Newcastle disease virus strain used in live attenuated and inactivated vaccines against that disease.
(3) Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to veterinary medicinal products (3) provides for certain requirements for immunological veterinary medicinal products, including requirements for safety tests.
(4) In view of the technical progress which has been made in relation to the manufacture of vaccines, in particular as regards inactivation techniques and the requirements of Directive 2001/82/EC and the European Pharmacopoeia, it is therefore appropriate to delete the specific requirement for inactivated vaccines regarding the intracerebral pathogenicity index (ICPI) in respect of the Newcastle disease virus strain used in such vaccines currently laid down in point (b) of Article 1 of Decision 93/152/EEC.
(5) Decision 93/152/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) It is appropriate to lay down a date of application of this Decision, in order to align it with the date of application of Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 (4), as amended by Regulation (EU) No 955/2010 (5), which introduces corresponding amendments for the criteria for inactivated vaccines against Newcastle disease used in third countries,
Point (b) of Article 1 of Decision 93/152/EEC is deleted.
This Decision shall apply from 1 December 2010.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field(1), as last amended by Commission Decision 94/370/EC(2), and in particular Article 3(3) and (5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Outbreaks of classical swine fever occurred in the Netherlands in 1997. The appearance of the disease represents a serious danger to the Community pig herd. With a view to the speedy eradication of the disease the Community is able to contribute to expenditure incurred by the Member State.
(2) On 22 June 1998 the Netherlands presented an application for reimbursement of all the expenditure incurred in the country in 1997. This application was replaced by a new application lodged on 2 June 1999.
(3) The Commission adopted Decisions 98/25/EC(3) and 1999/18/EC(4) on Community financial aid towards the eradication of classical swine fever in the Netherlands. These Decisions provided for the payment of two initial advances amounting to EUR 74429868.
(4) The total amount of Community aid must now be fixed.
(5) The Commission has checked to see whether all Community veterinary rules have been observed and all the conditions for Community financial assistance have been met.
(6) As a result of these checks, not all of the expenditure submitted could be accepted as eligible. This position was confirmed in a report by the Court of Auditors.
(7) The Commission's initial comments were officially notified to the Netherlands authorities on 13 January 1998.
(8) Further comments and the method for calculating the eligible expenditure were officially notified to the Netherlands authorities on 5 May and 29 October 1999.
(9) The Standing Veterinary Committee has not given an opinion; the Commission therefore proposed these measures to the Council on 17 February 2000 in accordance with Article 41 of Decision 90/424/EEC, the Council being required to act within three months.
(10) However, the Council has not acted within the required time limit; these measures should now be adopted by the Commission,
The total amount of Community financial aid for the eradication of classical swine fever in 1997 in the Netherlands is hereby fixed at EUR 109937795.
The balance of EUR 35507928 shall be paid as appropriations become available.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 410/2011
of 27 April 2011
amending Regulation (EC) No 259/2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 as regards the publication of information on the beneficiaries of funds deriving from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular point 8b of Article 42 thereof,
Having consulted the European Data Protection Supervisor,
Whereas:
(1) In its judgment in Joined Cases C-92/09 and 93/09 (2) concerning the obligation to publish information on the beneficiaries of European agricultural funds, the Court of Justice of the European Union concluded that publishing personal data relating to natural persons without drawing a distinction based on relevant criteria such as the periods during which those persons have received such aid, or the frequency or nature and amount thereof, is not proportionate. Consequently, the Court declared that the relevant provisions are invalid. Since it is in the interest of natural persons that their personal data should be protected, and with a view to reconciling the different objectives underlying the obligation to publish information on the beneficiaries of funds deriving from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), as provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 259/2008 (3), it should be stipulated that this obligation does not apply to natural persons.
(2) For reasons of transparency, Regulation (EC) No 259/2008 should therefore be formally amended accordingly pending the adoption by Parliament and the Council of new rules taking account of the objections expressed by the Court.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Funds,
Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 259/2008 is hereby amended as follows:
1. paragraph 1 is amended as follows:
(a) the opening sentence is replaced by the following:
(b) point (a) is deleted;
(c) points (b) and (c) are replaced by the following:
‘(b) the full legal name as registered where the beneficiaries are legal persons with an autonomous legal personality pursuant to the legislation of the Member State concerned;
(c) the full name of the association as registered or otherwise officially recognised where the beneficiaries are associations of legal persons without an own legal personality;’;
2. paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 4060/89 (4) lays down that controls on means of transport and the related documents in the course of transport between Member States must form part of the normal controls applied in a non-discriminatory fashion throughout the  territory of a Member State;

Whereas, with the prospect of the establishment of a single transport market, it is necessary to do more to improve the fluidity of movement of means of transport between Member States;
Whereas Part 2, 'National law', of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 4060/89 must be amended in order to take account of controls on means of transport and the documents relating thereto intended for the carriage of dangerous goods and perishable  foodstuffs,
Regulation (EEC) No 4060/89 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following Article shall be inserted:
'Article 3a
As and when necessary, the Commission shall propose amendments to the Annex to take account of technological developments in the field covered by this Regulation.'
2. Part 2 of the Annex shall be replaced by the text appearing in the Annex hereto.
