THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3831/90 of 20 December 1990 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1991 in respect of certain industrial products originating in developing countries (1), extended for 1993 by Regulation (EEC) No 3917/92  (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Regulation (EC) No 2558/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 3 December 2001
amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 as regards the reclassification of settlements under swaps arrangements and under forward rate agreements
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank(2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 of 25 June 1996 on the European System of national and regional accounts in the Community(4) contains the reference framework of common standards, definitions, classifications and accounting rules for drawing up the accounts of the Member States for the statistical requirements of the European Community, in order to obtain comparable results between Member States.
(2) In ESA 95, as in SNA 93, swaps are defined (5.67) as "contractual arrangements between two parties who agree to exchange, over time and according to predetermined rules, streams of payments on the same amounts of indebtedness" and it is specified that "the two most prevalent varieties are interest rate swaps and currency swaps".
(3) In original versions of ESA 95 and SNA 93, interest flows exchanged between two counterparts under any kinds of swaps and under forward rate agreements have been considered as non-financial transactions, recorded in property income, under the item interest.
(4) Problems have been raised by this statement and the Commission thus considers that it is necessary to exclude these interest flows from property income, in a manner similar to revised SNA 93.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to record these flows in financial transactions under the item financial derivatives, included in ESA 95 in F3 entitled "Securities other than shares".
(6) A specific treatment of these flows should be defined for the data transmitted under the excessive deficit procedure.
(7) The Committee on the statistical programmes of the European Communities, established by Decision 89/382/EEC, Euratom(5), and the Committee on Monetary, Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics, established by Decision 91/115/EEC(6), have each been consulted in accordance with Article 3 of the said Decisions,
Annex A of Council Regulation (EC) No 2223/96 shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

on the allocation to the United Kingdom of additional days at sea within ICES division VIIe
(notified under document number C(2007) 3212)
(Only the English text is authentic)
(2007/487/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 41/2007 of 21 December 2006 fixing for 2007 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of stocks, applicable in Community waters and for Community vessels in waters where catch limitations are required (1), and in particular point 9 of Annex IIC, thereto
Having regard to the requests made by the United Kingdom,
Whereas:
(1) Point 7 of Annex IIC to Regulation (EC) No 41/2007 specifies the maximum number of days at sea (192) on which Community vessels of length overall equal to or greater than 10 metres carrying on board beam trawls of mesh size equal to or greater than 80 mm or static nets, including gill-nets, trammel-nets and tangle-nets, with mesh size less than 220 mm may be present within ICES division VIIe from 1 February 2007 to 31 January 2008.
(2) Point 9 of that Annex enables the Commission to allocate an additional number of days at sea on which a vessel may be present within that area when carrying on board such beam trawls or static nets, on the basis of permanent cessations of fishing activities that have taken place since 1 of January 2004.
(3) The United Kingdom has submitted data demonstrating that vessels, which ceased activities since 1 January 2004, measured a reduction of 5,24 % in the fishing effort expended during the year 2003, taken as reference period for vessels present in the area and carrying on board beam trawls of mesh size equal to or greater than 80 mm.
(4) In view of the data submitted and applying the calculation method foreseen under point 9.1, 10 additional days at sea should be allocated to United Kingdom for the period between 1 February 2007 and 31 January 2008 for vessels carrying on board such beam trawls.
(5) For reasons of clarity this decision reflects the total amount of additional days allocated to the United Kingdom and takes into account the 12 additional days at sea that are previously allocated by Commission Decision 2006/461/EC of 26 June 2006 on the allocation to the United Kingdom of additional fishing days within ICES division VIIe (2), as these additional days remain allocated in 2007.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
The maximum number of days a fishing vessel flying the flag of the United Kingdom and carrying on board beam trawls of mesh size equal to or greater than 80 mm may be present in ICES division VIIe, as laid down in table I of Annex IIC to Regulation (EC) No 41/2007, shall be amended to 214 days per year.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

(5) For the sake of clarity and transparency of Union rules, provisions that have become obsolete or have ceased to have effect should be repealed.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,
