'For the purposes of Article 14b (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, where unfavourable weather  conditions in a production region result in a reduction of more than 20  % in the harvest of  producers` organizations, the competent authority may, at the reasoned request of the latter,  calculate the aid on the basis of the quantity marketed by the organizations during the second  marketing year which follows the date of their specific recognition.'
This Regulation  shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal  of the European Communities.
However, at the request of the producers' organizations concerned, Article 1 shall apply from the  date of entry into force of Title IIa of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 25 September 2006
on the conclusion, on behalf of the European Community, of the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade
(2006/730/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 and Article 175(1), in conjunction with the first sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 300(2) and the first subparagraph of Article 300(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 2003/106/EC of 19 December 2002 concerning the approval, on behalf of the European Community, of the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade (2) authorised the President of the Council to designate the person or persons empowered to deposit the instrument of approval on behalf of the Community with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, in accordance with Article 25(1) of that Convention, (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Rotterdam Convention’) (3). The instrument of approval, together with the Declaration of competence set out in Annex B to that Decision, was lodged with the Depositary on 20 December 2002. The Rotterdam Convention entered into force on 24 February 2004.
(2) In its judgment of 10 January 2006 in Case C-94/03 (Commission v Council) (4), the Court of Justice annulled Decision 2003/106/EC as it was based solely on Article 175(1), in conjunction with Article 300 of the Treaty, ruling that both Articles 133 and 175(1), in conjunction with the relevant provisions of Article 300, were the appropriate legal basis.
(3) The Court's judgment does not affect the Community's status as Party to the Convention. In accordance with Article 46 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the deposit of a new instrument of ratification is therefore not required. A new Council Decision approving the Rotterdam Convention is however necessary together with an amended Declaration of competence to reflect the change in the legal base, in accordance with Article 25(3) of the Rotterdam Convention.
(4) To ensure legal certainty and to avoid a legal void, it is appropriate for this Decision to take effect from the date at which Decision 2003/106/EC was adopted,
The Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade signed in Rotterdam on 11 September 1998, (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Rotterdam Convention’), is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person(s) empowered to deposit, on behalf of the Community, the Declaration of competence set out in the Annex to this Decision, in accordance with Article 25(3) of the Rotterdam Convention.
This Decision shall take effect from 19 December 2002.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 2 December 2010
establishing the classes of reaction-to-fire performance for certain construction products as regards fibrous gypsum plaster casts
(notified under document C(2010) 392)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2010/738/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988, on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), and in particular Article 20(2)(a) thereof,
After consulting the Standing Committee on Construction,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 89/106/EEC envisages that in order to take account of different levels of protection for the construction works at national, regional or local levels, it may be necessary to establish in the interpretative documents classes corresponding to the performance of products in respect of each essential requirement. Those documents have been published as the ‘Communication of the Commission with regard to the interpretative documents of Directive 89/106/EEC (2)’.
(2) With respect of the essential requirement of safety in the event of fire, interpretative document No 2 lists a number of interrelated measures which together define the fire safety strategy to be variously developed in the Member States.
(3) Interpretative document No 2 identifies one of those measures as the limitation of the generation and spread of fire and smoke within a given area by limiting the potential of construction products to contribute to the full development of a fire.
(4) The level of that limitation may be expressed only in terms of the different levels of reaction-to-fire performance of the products in their end-use application.
(5) By way of a harmonised solution, a system of classes was adopted in Commission Decision 2000/147/EC of 8 February 2000 implementing Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards the classification of the reaction to fire performance of construction products (3).
(6) In the case of fibrous gypsum plaster casts it is necessary to use the classification established in Decision 2000/147/EC.
(7) The reaction-to-fire performance of many construction products and/or materials, within the classification provided for in Decision 2000/147/EC, is well established and sufficiently well known to fire regulators in Member States that they do not require testing for this particular performance characteristic,
The construction products and/or materials which satisfy all the requirements of the performance characteristic ‘reaction-to-fire’ without need for further testing are set out in the Annex.
The specific classes to be applied to different construction products and/or materials, within the reaction-to-fire classification adopted in Decision 2000/147/EC, are set out in the Annex to this Decision.
Products shall be considered in relation to their end-use application, where relevant.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

of 28 February 2006
amending Annex II to Council Decision 79/542/EEC as regards the entries for Brazil, Montenegro and Serbia
(notified under document number C(2006) 579)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/360/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first paragraph of point (1) of Article 8 and point (4) of Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Part 1 of Annexes I and II to Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1979 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (2) sets out a list of third countries and parts of third countries from which Member States are authorised to import certain live animals and their fresh meat.
(2) Commission Decision 2005/432/EC of 3 June 2005 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of meat products for human consumption from third countries and repealing Decisions 97/41/EC, 97/221/EC and 97/222/EC (3). That Decision lists the third countries and parts of third countries from which imports of meat products are to be authorised. That Decision also lays down the model public and animal health certificates and rules on treatments required for those products.
(3) Following outbreaks of foot and mouth disease in Brazil, Decision 79/542/EEC was amended by Commission Decision 2005/753/EC (4) in order to amend Part I of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC and thereby suspended imports of bovine de-boned meat from the States of Mato Grosso do Sul, Parana and Sao Paulo.
(4) In order to ensure clarity, coherence and transparency in the regionalisation provided for in Decision 79/542/EEC concerning fresh meat and in Decision 2005/432/EC concerning meat products it is necessary to amend certain of the regionalisation descriptions and timing restrictions for Brazil.
(5) In addition, Serbia and Montenegro are Republics with their own customs territories which together form a State Union. They should therefore be entered separately on the lists of third countries and parts of third countries from which imports of meat products are authorised.
(6) Decision 79/542/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 of 10 December 2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1706/98 (1),
Having regard to Council Decision 2001/822/EC of 27 November 2001 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Community (Overseas Association Decision) (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 638/2003 of 9 April 2003 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 and Council Decision 2001/822/EC as regards the arrangements applicable to imports of rice originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and the overseas countries and territories (OCT) (3), and in particular Article 17(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 299/2006 (4) lays down the quantities carried over to the tranche for May 2006, indicating the ACP quota only.
(2) The first paragraph of Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 638/2003 provides that applications for a licence to import rice originating in the ACP States falling within CN codes 1006 10 21, 1006 10 23, 1006 10 25, 1006 10 27, 1006 10 92, 1006 10 94, 1006 10 96, 1006 10 98, 1006 20 and 1006 30 and rice originating in the OCTs falling within CN code 1006 may be lodged for quantities carried over as referred to in Article 3(2) of that Regulation.
(3) Allocating the quantities carried over to the ACP quota only was therefore not correct. As a result, the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 299/2006 should be corrected to specify the conditions for placing the quantities available at the disposal of traders,
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 299/2006 is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 April 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION DECISION of 20 July 1994 approving an amendment to the Spanish programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in Andalusia (94/483/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 768/89 of 21 March 1989 establishing a system of transitional aids to agricultural income (1), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3813/89 of 19 December 1989 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of transitional aids to agricultural income (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1110/91 (3), and in particular
Article 10
(3) thereof,
Whereas on 9 March 1993 the Spanish authorities notified the Commission of their intention to establish a programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in Andalusia; whereas the Commission approved the programme in its Decision 93/223/EEC (4);
Whereas Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 768/89 provides that that Regulation is to apply until 31 March 1993 and that no programme of agricultural income aid is to be approved after that date; whereas, therefore, in accordance with Article 7 (1) of  the same Regulation, after that date the Commission can only approve technical amendments to programmes of aid to agricultural income;
Whereas on 21 March 1994 the Spanish authorities notified the Commission that they had made some technical errors when drawing up the programme, in particular with regard to the calculation of the flat-rate basis for monitoring agricultural work units;
Whereas these errors must be corrected; whereas as a result of these errors and the need to correct them the Spanish authorities made no income aid payments between the date of entry into force of the Decision approving the programme and the deadline  for benefiting from the funds entered in the Community budget for 1993 for the programme;
Whereas the Spanish authorities have requested that the amount entered in the Community budget for 1993 should be entered in the Community budget for 1994; whereas it seems appropriate to grant this request, given that it is not of a nature to alter the  substance of the Decision of 26 March 1993 approving the programme;
Whereas the Management Committee for Agricultural Income Aid was consulted on 19 July 1994 on the measure provided for in this Decision;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee was consulted on 19 July 1994 on the maximum amounts that can be charged to the Community budget each year under the programme approved,
The programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in Andalusia notified to the Commission by the Spanish authorities on 9 March 1993, as amended by the communication of 21 March 1994, is hereby approved.
The maximum amounts that may be charged to the Community budget each year under this Decision are as follows:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/67/EEC of 28 January 1991 concerning the animal health conditions governing the placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:

(2) Ireland informed the Commission by letter dated 24 June 2003 of the detection of Bonamia ostrea at the Blacksod Bay on the County Mayo coastline, an area previously considered to be free of that disease. That area can therefore no longer be considered free of Bonamia ostrea.
(3) Decision 2002/300/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Decision 2002/300/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
