COMMISSION  DECISION
of 22 March 1988
authorizing the French Republic to permit temporarily the marketing of durum wheat seed not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/402/EEC
(88/246/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 87/120/EEC (2), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the French Republic,
Whereas in France the production of seed of varieties of durum wheat satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC has been insufficient in 1987 and therefore is not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas the French Republic should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 30 April 1988, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States, which are able to supply France with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided it is intended for France;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The French Republic is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 April 1988, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 5 000 tonnes of seed of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) of the category 'certified seed' which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/402/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the germination capacity is at least 80 % of pure seed;
(b) the official label shall bear the following endorsements:
- 'minimum germination capacity 80 %',
- 'intended exclusively for France'.
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a maximum of 5 000 tonnes of durum wheat seed provided that it is intended exclusively for France. The official label shall bear the endorsements referred to in Article 1 (b).
Member States shall notify the Commission before 30 June 1988 of the quantities of seed marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DELEGATED DIRECTIVE 2014/15/EU
of 18 October 2013
amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, the Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for lead, cadmium and hexavalent chromium in reused spare parts, recovered from medical devices placed on the market before 22 July 2014 and used in category 8 equipment placed on the market before 22 July 2021, provided that reuse takes place in auditable closed-loop business-to-business return systems, and that the reuse of parts is notified to the consumer

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of lead, cadmium and hexavalent chromium in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market.
(2) The most commonly re-used medical parts are X-ray tubes, MRI coils, printed circuit boards from many different types of equipment, and detectors and components of detectors (e.g. radiation detectors). Some of these will contain small amounts of lead, cadmium and hexavalent chromium.
(3) Comparing the environmental impacts of using refurbished parts in the above mentioned cases to those of substituting refurbished parts with new ones, demonstrates that the total negative environmental, health and consumer safety impacts of substitution would outweigh the total benefits thereof.
(4) Directive 2011/65/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1.   Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by the last day of the sixth month after entry into force at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 26 November 2014
amending Decision 90/177/Euratom, EEC authorizing Belgium not to take into account certain categories of transactions and to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base

After consulting the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 371 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (2), Belgium may continue to exempt the transactions referred to in Annex X, Part B to that Directive, if it exempted those transactions at 1 January 1978; those transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT own resources base.
(2) In its response of 29 April 2014 to the letter of 14 February 2014 of the Commission regarding the simplification of VAT own resources inspections (3), Belgium requested authorisation from the Commission to use a fixed percentage of the intermediate base for the calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in point 9 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC for the financial years 2014 to 2020. Belgium has shown that the historical percentage has remained stable over time. Belgium should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using a fixed percentage in accordance with the letter sent by the Commission.
(3) For reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time.
(4) It is therefore appropriate to amend Commission Decision 90/177/Euratom, EEC (4) accordingly,
In Decision 90/177/Euratom, EEC the following Article 2a is inserted:
‘Article 2a
By way of derogation from Article 2(4) of this Decision, for the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020, Belgium is authorised to use 0,21 % of the intermediate base in respect of transactions referred to in point 9 of Annex X, Part B, (buildings and building land) to Council Directive 2006/112/EC (5).
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium.

Whereas:
(1) By Commission Decision 2006/784/EC of 14 November 2006 authorising methods for grading pig carcases in France (2), the use of seven methods for grading pig carcasses in France was authorised.
(2) France has requested the Commission to authorise the replacement of the formula used in the ‘CSB Image-Meater’ method for grading pig carcasses on its territory as the present grading method needed technical adaptation. France has presented a detailed description of the dissection trial, indicating the principles on which this new formula is based, the result of its dissection trial and the equation used for assessing the percentage of lean meat in the protocol provided for in Article 23(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 of 10 December 2008 laying down detailed rules on the implementation of the Community scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and the reporting of prices thereof (3).

(4) Decision 2006/784/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) Modifications of the apparatus or grading method should not be allowed, unless they are explicitly authorised by Commission Implementing Decision.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,
