THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation EEC, Euratom No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular the second indent of Article 6(3) thereof,
After consultation of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 386 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (2), Hungary may, in accordance with the conditions applying in that Member State on the date of its accession, continue to exempt the transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B to that Directive, for as long as the same exemption is applied in any of the Member States which were members of the Community on 30 April 2004; 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), Hungary 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 10 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC for the financial years 2014 to 2020. Hungary has shown that the historical percentage has remained stable over time. Hungary 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 2005/818/EC, Euratom (4) accordingly,

This Decision is addressed to Hungary.

fixing the export refunds on white and raw sugar exported without further processing
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Whereas:

(3) The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.

Whereas:
(1) Article 1(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 provides that the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(4) is to be converted into national currency using a specific agricultural conversion rate equal to the average, calculated pro rata temporis, of the agricultural conversion rates applicable during the month of storage. That specific rate must be fixed each month for the previous month. However, in the case of the reimbursable amounts applying from 1 January 1999, as a result of the introduction of the agrimonetary arrangements for the euro from that date, the fixing of the conversion rate should be limited to the specific exchange rates prevailing between the euro and the national currencies of the Member States that have not adopted the single currency.
(2) Application of these provisions will lead to the fixing, for June 2001, of the specific exchange rate for the amount of the reimbursement of storage costs in the various national currencies as indicated in the Annex to this Regulation,
The specific exchange rate to be used for converting the amount of the reimbursement of the storage costs referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2038/1999 into national currency for June 2001 shall be as indicated in the Annex hereto.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 of 21 December 1994 on detailed rules for the application of the import arrangements for fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 3223/94 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in the Annex thereto.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the 1994 Treaty of Accession and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof, and the 1994 Act of Accession and in particular Article 151 (2) thereof,

Whereas, on 5 September 1994, the Republic of Austria requested a derogation based on that applicable from 1 April 1994 to the Federal Republic of Germany pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 355/94 of 14 February  1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 918/83 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duties (1) and increasing the level of allowances for travellers coming from third countries;
Whereas that request is aimed in particular at maintaining until 1 January 1998 the limit currently applicable in the Republic of Austria to imports of goods by travellers entering its territory by a land frontier linking it to countries other than  Member States and members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA);
Whereas account should be taken of the economic difficulties likely to be caused in the Republic of Austria by the amount of the allowances in the case of the travellers concerned;
Whereas, however, it is necessary to prevent distortions of competition resulting from the application of different limits when the external frontiers linking the Community to countries other then EFTA members are crossed; whereas it is important that  the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Austria should apply the same limit to imports of goods into their respective territories by travellers coming from the said countries,
The second paragraph of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 355/94 shall be replaced by the following:
'However, with regard to the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Austria, this Regulation shall apply from 1 January 1998 for goods imported by travellers entering German or Austrian territory by a land frontier linking Germany or Austria to  countries other than Member States and the EFTA members or, where applicable, by means of coastal navigation coming from the said countries.
However, those Member States shall apply an allowance of not less than ECU 75 to imports by the travellers referred to in the preceding paragraph from the entry into force of the 1994 Treaty of Accession.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the same date as the 1994 Treaty of Accession.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
