fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.
(3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(3). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.
(4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for sugar according to destination.
(5) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.
(6) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in sugar and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto.
(8) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 17 January 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION DECISION of 11  December 1995 concerning the request from the United Kingdom to the Commission to exempt certain  transport operations from the application of Council Directive 89/684/EEC on vocational training  for certain drivers of vehicles carrying dangerous goods by road (Only the English text is  authentic) (95/543/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/684/EEC of 21 December 1989 on vocational training for  certain drivers of vehicles carrying dangerous goods by road, and in particular Article 3 thereof   (1),
Whereas on 26 June 1995 the United Kingdom Government sent the Commission a letter requesting it,  in accordance with Article 3 of the abovementioned Directive, to authorize it to exempt from the  application of the Directive, and for a renewable period of two years from the date of this  Decision's adoption, the carriage of MDI, otherwise known as diphenylmethane-4,4' diisocyanate or  methylenebis-4-phenyl isocyanate; whereas the United Kingdom authorities envisage requiring that  such operations would be limited to domestic journeys only;
Whereas the other provisions generally applicable to carriage of the product concerned, in  particular on classification, packaging and labelling, are not covered by the scope of the  Directive; whereas, therefore, they are not covered by the request for an exemption;
Whereas the United Kingdom's request concerns national operations posing little danger or pollution  hazard because of their special characteristics;
Whereas, in particular, the concerned substance was assigned to class 6.1, packing group III, under  UN 2489, because of its apparent inhalation toxicity,; whereas, however, the data associated with  this property were generated in an artificial manner, using a respirable aerosol, that does not  bear any relation to conditions that pertain to transport and therefore would not give rise to  concentrations that could be encountered in case of an incident during transport; whereas,  therefore, the substance should no longer be considered as representing a danger in transport;
Whereas, therefore, the abovementioned request should be accepted,
The United Kingdom is hereby authorized to exempt the drivers of  vehicles engaged in national carriage of MDI, otherwise known as diphenylmethane-4,4' diisocyanate  or methylenebis-4-phenyl isocyanate from the application of Council Directive 89/684/EEC, provided  that the operations are performed by vehicles registered in the United Kingdom and that are limited  to domestic journeys only.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern  Ireland.

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Nomenclature Committee,
In paragraph 2 of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 4136/87, '18' is replaced by '30'.

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

COMMISSION DECISION  of 25 June 1992  authorizing the Italian Republic to apply intra-Community surveillance in respect of bananas originating in certain third countries and put into free circulation in the other Member States  (Only the Italian  text is authentic)  (92/397/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 87/433/EEC of 22 July 1987, on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take pursuant to Article 115 of the EEC Treaty (1), and in particular Articles 1, 2 and 5 thereof;
Whereas on 18 June 1992, the Italian Government applied for authorization to apply intra-Community surveillance to imports of bananas falling within CN code 0803 00 10 originating in certain third countries other than the African, Caribbean and Pacific  (ACP) States (2) and put into free circulation in the other Member States;
Whereas the Italian Government has stated that the circumstances which led the Commission to adopt intra-Community surveillance measures in the past still prevail, namely the need to ensure the effectiveness of the commercial policy measures which Italy  applied in respect of direct imports of fresh bananas originating in certain third countries other than the ACP States in order to attain the objective laid down in Protocol 5 to the Lomé Convention;
Whereas, as indicated by the Italian Govemment, in view of the serious domestic crisis in Somalia, which is disrupting exports of bananas to the Italian market from this traditional ACP supplier, imports of bananas from the dollar zone, direct or from  other Member States, need to be controlled in order to ensure that the objectives of the Protocol referred to above are achieved;
Whereas, in these circumstances and with regard to the achievement of the single market in the Community, it is therefore necessary to authorize the Italian republic to apply intra-Community surveillance until 31 December 1992 to imports of the products  in question,
The Italian Republic is hereby authorized to apply intra-Community surveillance until 31 December 1992 to imports of bananas falling within CN code 0803 00 10 originating in the third countries listed in the Annex and put into free  circulation in the other Member States, in accordance with Decision 87/433/EEC.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.
