Whereas, pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, a basic price and a buying-in price must be fixed for each marketing year for each of the products listed in Annex II to the said Regulation; whereas the products in question, harvested in a given production year, are marketed, as regards cauliflowers, from May to April of the following year; whereas, in the particular case of cauliflowers, the Council has not yet adopted the basic price and the buying-in price applicable from 1 May 1987; whereas the Commission, in virtue of the powers conferred on it by the Treaty, must take the necessary precautionary measures to ensure that the common agricultural policy continues to operate in the fruit and vegetables sector in question; whereas these measures are adopted as a precaution and without prejudice to the Council's price decisions for 1987/88;
Whereas, under these precautionary measures, the continuity of the intervention arrangements provided for in Articles 15 and 19 of the abovementioned Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 must be ensured; whereas, for those purposes, the amounts to be used in calculating the prices at which the abovementioned intervention operations take place should be fixed for May 1987; whereas the amounts to be used correspond to the basic and buying-in prices fixed for the 1986/87 marketing year but adapted to trimmed cauliflowers of quality grade I;
Whereas Spain during the first phase and Portugal during the first stage are authorized to maintain, in the fruit and vegetables sector, the rules in force under the previous national arrangements for the organization of their domestic agricultural markets, under the conditions laid down in Articles 133 to 135 and 262 to 265, respectively, of the Act of Accession; whereas, therefore, the amounts fixed in this Regulation are applicable only in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985,

(2) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provides that the list is to be reviewed on a regular basis, and at least quarterly, taking into account at least the sources of information referred to in that Article.
(3) The occurrence and relevance of food incidents notified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF), the findings of missions to third countries carried out by the Food and Veterinary Office, as well as the quarterly reports on consignments of feed and food of non-animal origin submitted by Member States to the Commission in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 indicate that the list should be amended.
(4) In particular, for consignments of Brassica oleracea (‘Chinese broccoli’) from China, the information sources indicate a degree of non-compliance with the relevant safety requirements, thereby warranting the introduction of an increased level of official controls. An entry concerning those consignments should therefore be included in the list.

fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 33(2)(a) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 32(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b), (c), (d) and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to that Regulation.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards 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 (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.

(6) The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1(1) and in point (1) of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 25 July 2008.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purpose of the common agricultural policy (3), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,
Whereas the aid for dried fodder has as its objective to guarantee its producers a fair return on the sale of their products; whereas this objective has been met at the departure from the processing undertaking, therefore in conformity with Article 6 of  Regulation (EEC) No 3813/93 the operative event for the agricultural conversion rate applicable to the aid for dried fodder, without prejudice to the possibility of prefixing this rate provided for in Articles 13 to 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 (4)  shall be the departure from the processing undertaking;

of 10 July 2013
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1079/2012 laying down requirements for voice channels spacing for the single European sky
(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 552/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 on the interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management network (the interoperability Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 3(5) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the single European sky (the framework Regulation) (2), and in particular Article 8(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1079/2012 (3) requires the coordinated introduction of air-ground voice communications based on reduced 8,33 kHz channel spacing, with the aim of increasing the number of available frequencies for air-ground voice communications and allowing for increases in the number of airspace sectors and the related air traffic control capacity.
(2) Article 6(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1079/2012 was meant to impose a target on the Member States listed in Annex I, whereby the number of new 8,33 kHz channel spacing conversions are to be equivalent to at least 25 % of the total number of 25 kHz frequency assignments allocated to all area control centres in the Member State. However, the current published text of Article 6(3) could be interpreted as imposing a less ambitious obligation which could in effect significantly reduce, for the Member States with more than one area control centre, the task of generating additional frequencies.
(3) The aim of the amendment is to clarify Article 6(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1079/2012, therefore the original date of application of that act should be maintained.
(4) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1079/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Single Sky Committee,
Article 6(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1079/2012 is replaced by the following:
‘3.   Member States listed in Annex I shall implement, by 31 December 2014 at the latest, a number of new 8,33 kHz channel spacing conversions equivalent to at least 25 % of the total number of the 25 kHz frequency assignments in the central register and allocated to area control centres (“ACC”) in the Member State. These conversions shall not be limited to ACC frequency assignments and shall not include operational control communication frequency assignments.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 7 December 2012.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
