Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), and in particular Article 7(3) thereof,
After consulting the Fund Committee,
Whereas:

authorising the Republic of Lithuania to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base
(notified under document number C(2005) 4429)
(Only the Lithuanian text is authentic)
(2005/819/EC, Euratom)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 28(3) of Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (2), hereinafter called ‘the sixth Directive’, the Member States may continue to exempt or tax certain transactions; these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base.
(2) For the application of the provisions in Article 28(3) of the sixth Directive, paragraph 1 of Section 8 (Taxation) of Annex IX to the Act of Accession of the Republic of Lithuania to the European Communities (3) authorises the Republic of Lithuania to exempt certain transactions listed in Annex F to the sixth Directive.
(3) The Republic of Lithuania is unable to make a precise calculation of the VAT own resources base for certain categories of transactions listed in Annex F to the sixth Directive; such a calculation is likely to involve an unjustified administrative burden in relation to the effect of these transactions on the Republic of Lithuania’s total VAT resources base; the Republic of Lithuania should therefore pursuant to Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 be authorised to calculate the VAT base using approximate estimates.
(4) The Advisory Committee on Own Resources has approved the report recording the opinions of its members on this Decision,
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 May 2004, the Republic of Lithuania is authorized, in accordance with the second indent of Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, to use approximate estimates in respect of the domestic leg of international passenger transport (Annex F, point 17 to the sixth Directive).
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Lithuania.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the Council's Decision of June 1996 laying down negotiating directives and authorising the Commission to negotiate an agreement on humane trapping standards with Canada, the Russian Federation, the United States and any other interested country,
Having regard to the Council's Decision of 22 July 1997 approving the Agreement on international humane trapping standards between the European Community, Canada and the Russian Federation and calling upon the Commission to intensify its efforts to reach an agreement with the United States of America that is equivalent to the Agreement with Canada and the Russian Federation,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3254/91 (3), and in particular the second indent of Article 3(1) thereof, refers to internationally agreed humane trapping standards with which trapping methods used by third countries that have not prohibited leghold traps must conform in order for those countries to be able to export pelts and products manufactured from certain species to the Community;
Whereas the Agreement's main purpose is to lay down harmonised technical standards offering a sufficient level of protection to the welfare of trapped animals and governing both the production and use of traps, and to facilitate trade between the Parties in traps, pelts and products manufactured from species covered by the Agreement;
Whereas implementation of the Agreement requires the establishment of a timetable of testing and certifying the conformity of traps with the standards laid down and for the replacement of uncertified traps;
Whereas the Agreement in the form of an Agreed Minute attached to this Decision is consistent with the negotiating directives referred to above; whereas it therefore satisfies the concept of internationally agreed humane trapping standards referred to in the second indent of Article 3(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3254/91;
Whereas the International Agreement in the form of an Agreed Minute between the European Community and the United States of America on humane trapping standards should be approved,
The International Agreement in the form of an Agreed Minute between the European Community and the United States of America on humane trapping standards is hereby approved.
The text of the Agreement is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council shall notify to the United States of America the instrument of conclusion (4).
