(2010/692/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 820/97 (1), and in particular Article 10(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 (‘the Regulation’) provides that Member States, which have a computerised database which the Commission deems to be fully operational, may determine that a passport is to be issued only for animals intended for intra-Union trade and that those animals shall be accompanied by their passports only when they are moved from the territory of the Member State concerned to the territory of another Member State.
(2) Latvia has presented to the Commission a request for the recognition of the fully operational character of the database that forms part of the Latvian system for the identification and registration of bovine animals pursuant to the Regulation. The Latvian authorities have also submitted to the Commission the appropriate information concerning the compatibility of the database with the provisions of Article 5 of the Regulation.
(3) The Commission examined the information submitted by the Latvian authorities and following inspection considered that the request was sufficiently substantiated, pending certain adaptations which the Latvian authorities undertook to complete by 30 September 2010.
(4) Before 1 October 2010 the Latvian authorities confirmed that additional measures had been implemented to ensure that deadlines laid down in the Regulation for the notification of events are respected, floating animals are detected and followed up and passports accompanying animals from other Member States are surrendered to the competent authority on arrival.
(5) In view of the above, it is appropriate to recognise the fully operational character of the Latvian database for bovine animals as of 1 October 2010,

of 6 December 2004
laying down rules for the communication of the information necessary for implementing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 on the common organisation of the market in seeds
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 of 26 October 1971 on the common organisation of the market in seeds (1), and in particular Articles 4(2) and 9 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In the light of the reform of the seed sector introduced by Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (2), the required information to be communicated to the Commission by the Member States pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 needs to be reviewed and simplified. Moreover, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3083/73 of 14 November 1973 on the communication of the information necessary for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 on the common organisation of the market in seeds (3) has been amended several times. For the sake of clarity it is necessary to replace that Regulation by a new text. Regulation (EEC) No 3083/73 should therefore be repealed.
(2) Given the changed situation of the market for hybrid maize and sorghum for sowing, it is no longer necessary to be able to monitor continuously trade patterns with third countries. Hybrid maize and sorghum for sowing should no longer be subject to the system of import licences under Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71. It is therefore appropriate to repeal Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1117/79 of 6 June 1979 specifying the products in the seeds sector to be subject to the system of import licences (4) and to no longer provide for the corresponding data communication.
(3) The Management Committee for seeds has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
Member States shall communicate to the Commission by electronic transmission, for each species and group of varieties set out in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71, the information listed in the Annex to this Regulation by the dates specified therein.
Regulation (EEC) No 3083/73 and Regulation (EEC) No 1117/79 are repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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.
