DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
of 19 December 2012
amending Decision ECB/2010/24 on the interim distribution of the income of the European Central Bank on euro banknotes in circulation and arising from securities purchased under the securities markets programme
(ECB/2012/33)
(2013/32/EU)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 33 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Decision ECB/2010/24 of 25 November 2010 on the interim distribution of the income of the European Central Bank on euro banknotes in circulation and arising from securities purchased under the securities markets programme (1) lays down how the European Central Bank (ECB) distributes to the NCBs: (a) its income on euro banknotes in circulation accrued each financial year; and (b) its income arising from securities purchased under the securities markets programme (SMP) earned in each financial year.
(2) It is considered necessary to align the dates for the interim distribution of the ECB’s income on euro banknotes in circulation with those for the distribution of the ECB’s income arising from SMP securities. Unless otherwise decided by the Governing Council, the ECB should distribute these two types of income on the last working day in January of the following year. This gives the ECB sufficient time to determine the amount of any income earned from SMP securities.
(3) Decision ECB/2010/24 needs to be amended accordingly,
(2) to (4) is replaced by the following:
‘2.   Unless otherwise decided by the Governing Council, the ECB shall distribute to the NCBs its income on euro banknotes in circulation accrued and its income arising from SMP securities earned in each financial year on the last working day in January of the following year.
3.   The amount of the ECB’s income on euro banknotes in circulation may be reduced in accordance with any decision by the Governing Council on the basis of the Statute of the ESCB in respect of expenses incurred by the ECB in connection with the issue and handling of euro banknotes.’.
Entry into force
This Decision shall enter into force on 31 December 2012.

amending Regulation (EC) No 786/2007 as regards the name of the holder of the authorisation of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta-mannanase EC 3.2.1.78 (Hemicell)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1) and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) ChemGen Corp. has submitted an application under Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 proposing to change the name of the holder of the authorisation as regards Commission Regulation (EC) No 786/2007 (2) concerning the 10 year authorisation of a preparation of endo-1,4-beta-mannanase EC 3.2.1.78 (Hemicell), belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’.
(2) The applicant claims that, with effect from 10 February 2012, ChemGen Corp. was acquired by Eli Lilly and Company Ltd which now owns the marketing rights for that additive. The applicant has submitted relevant data supporting its request.
(3) The proposed change of the terms of the authorisation is purely administrative in nature and does not entail a fresh assessment of the additive concerned. The European Food Safety Authority was informed of the application.
(4) To allow Eli Lilly and Company Ltd to exploit its marketing rights it is necessary to change the terms of the authorisation.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 786/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the amendment made by this Regulation to Regulation (EC) No 786/2007, it is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which existing stocks may be used up.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
In column 2 of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 786/2007 the words ‘ChemGen Corp., represented by Disproquima S.L.’ are replaced by ‘Eli Lilly and Company Ltd’.
Existing stocks of the additive which are in conformity with the provisions applying before the date of entry into force of this Regulation may continue to be placed on the market and used until they are exhausted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of 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.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1243/2003
of 10 July 2003
determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1486/2002(4). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 28,289/100 kg.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 11 July 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
