Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 15 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 7(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2799/1999 (2) fixes the amount of aid for skimmed milk and skimmed-milk powder intended for animal feed taking into account the factors set out in Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.

In Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/1999, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

adjusting, from 1 July 2013, the rate of contribution to the pension scheme of officials and other servants of the European Union

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 13 of Annex XII to the Staff Regulations, Eurostat submitted a report on the 2013 five-yearly actuarial assessment of the pension scheme updating the parameters referred to in that Annex. According to this assessment, the rate of contribution required to maintain actuarial balance of the pension scheme is 10,3 % of the basic salary.
(2) In the interests of the actuarial balance of the pension scheme of officials and other servants of the Union, the rate of contribution should therefore be adjusted to 10,3 % of the basic salary.
(3) However, in the light of recent and future judgments in the cases on the 2011 and 2012 adjustment of salaries and pensions and in the case on the 2011 adjustment of the rate of contribution to the pension scheme, the result of this adjustment may be subject to change. The implementation of those judgments may have an impact on the calculation of the rates of contribution for the years 2012 and 2013 and thus require the Council to re-adjust the said rates of contribution with retroactive effect. Where applicable, this may lead to a recovery of overpaid sums from staff,
With effect from 1 July 2013, the rate of the contribution referred to in Article 83(2) of the Staff Regulations shall be 10,3 %.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 865/2012
of 21 September 2012
amending Regulation (EC) No 867/2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards operators’ organisations in the olive sector, their work programmes and the financing thereof
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 103(2) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 11 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 867/2008 (2) provides that the operators’ organisations in the olive sector may receive, subject to the lodging of a security, an advance of a maximum of 90 % of the eligible annual expenditure. To this end, the Member State pays an initial instalment before the end of the month following the month of the beginning of the implementation of each year of the work programme.
(2) However, because of the economic crisis, this provision, which is intended to allow work to start quickly, has not had the desired effect in Greece. In fact, in the wake of the crisis, some operators’ organisations, having been unable to lodge the security referred to in Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 867/2008, were not eligible to receive the advance referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, and thus could not launch their programmes for the 2012-15 period.
(3) Under these circumstances, this Member State must be given exceptional permission to pay the initial instalment of the advance referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 867/2008 until 30 September 2012, which would allow the beneficiaries to reuse the securities lodged for the previous work programmes and released in the meantime, provided that all the relevant conditions are met.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 867/2008 should be amended accordingly.
(5) In order to ensure the efficient management of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
The following subparagraph is added to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 867/2008:
‘By way of derogation from the first subparagraph and for the first year of implementation of the work programmes approved for the 2012-15 period, Greece may pay the operators’ organisations concerned, before 30 September 2012, an initial instalment equal to half the amount referred to in paragraph 1.’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN codes indicated in column (2) of that table.
