Whereas the experience gained in managing the scheme introduced by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2643/91 (4), makes it necessary to improve the provisions applying to monitoring;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 730/1999
of 7 April 1999
laying down the marketing standard for carrots
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2520/97(2), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Where carrots are listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as products for which standards are to be adopted; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 920/89 of 10 April 1989 laying down quality standards for carrots, citrus fruit and dessert apples and pears(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2536/98(4), has been the subject of multiple amendments and no longer ensures legal clarity;
Whereas the rules in question should therefore be recast and Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 920/89 repealed; whereas, to that end, for reasons of transparency on the world market, account should be taken of the standard recommended for carrots by the Working Party on Standardisation of Perishable Produce and Quality Development of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE);
Whereas the effect of these standards must be to remove products of unsatisfactory quality from the market, gear production to satisfying consumer requirements and facilitate trade relations on the basis of fair competition, thereby helping to make production more profitable;
Whereas the standards are applicable at all stages of marketing; whereas transport over a great distance, storage for a certain lengh of time or the various handling operations to which the products are subjected may bring about deterioration due to the biological development of the products or their tendency to perish; whereas account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standards at the marketing stages which follow dispatch; whereas, as products in the "Extra" class have to be particularly carefully sorted and packaged, only lack of freshness and turgidity is to be taken into account in their case;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
The marketing standard for carrots falling within CN code 0706 10 00 shall be as set out in the Annex.
The standard shall apply at all stages of marketing under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96.
However, at stages following dispatch, the products may show in relation to the provisions of the standards:
- a slight lack of freshness and turgidity,
- for products graded in classes other than the "Extra" class, slight deteriorations due to their development and their tendency to perish.
Regulation (EEC) No 920/89 is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 1 the first indent is deleted;
2. Annex I is deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas in order to ensure uniform application of the combined nomenclature annexed to the said Regulation, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has set down the general rules for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature and those rules also apply to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to  it and which is established by specific Community provisions, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods;

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 of 8 October 2001 on detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables (2), and in particular Article 6(7) thereof,

COMMISSION DECISION of 3 February 1998 on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20(2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards systems of mechanically fastened flexible roof waterproofing membranes (Text with EEA relevance) (98/143/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
Whereas the Commission is required to select, as between the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the 'least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety`; whereas this means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approved certification body is therefore required;
Whereas Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined must be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications; whereas, therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications;
Whereas the two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC; whereas it is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures must be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems;
Whereas the procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III, and the procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex II shall be indicated in mandates for guidelines for European technical approvals.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
REGULATION (EEC) No 1048/71 OF THE COUNCIL  of 25 May 1971  amending Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on sugar as regards adjustments to the refund
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community:
Having regard to Council Regulation No 1009/67/EEC (1) of 18 December 1967 on the common organisation of the market in sugar, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1253/70 (2), and in particular Article 17 (2) and (3) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas Article 12 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 766/68 (3) of 18 June 1968 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on sugar, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2488/69 (4), provides for the export refund fixed in advance to be precisely adjusted if certain Community prices for sugar and molasses are altered during the period of advance fixing : whereas this provision has proved too inflexible ; whereas Article 12 should therefore be amended to make it possible for a decision to be taken on the appropriate adjustment.
The following shall be substituted for Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 766/68:
"If between:    - the date on which the application for an export licence is lodged and a request for the advance fixing of the refund is made, or
- the date on which the time limit for the submission of the tenders expires, in the case of a refund fixed by tender,
- and the date of exportation, there is an alteration in the prices for sugar or molasses fixed pursuant to Regulation No 1009/67/EEC, provision may be made for adjusting the amount of the refund."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION  DECISION
of 21 December 1987
authorizing the Italian Republic to apply intra-Community surveillance to imports of textile products falling within category 3, originating in Pakistan, which have been put into free circulation in the Community
(Only the Italian Text is authentic)
(88/42/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,
AHaving regard to Commission Decision 87/433/EEC of 22 July 1987 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take pursuant to Article 115 of the EEC Treaty (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,
Whereas Decision 87/433/EEC requires Member States to have prior authorization from the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance of imports covered by that Decision;
Whereas, under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2955/87 (2), the import into Italy of textile products falling within category 3, originating in Pakistan, is subject to quantitative limits from 1987 to 1991;
Whereas on 7 December 1987, a request was made under Article 2 of Decision 87/443/EEC by the Italian Government to the Commission of the European Communities for authorization to introduce intra-Community surveillance for textile products falling within category 3, originating in Pakistan and put into free circulation in the Community;
Whereas the information given by the Italian authorities in support of this request has been examined closely by the Commission, in accordance with the criteria laid down in Decision 87/433/EEC;
Whereas the Commission examined in particular whether the imports could be made subject to intra-Community surveillance under Article 2 of Decision 87/433/EEC, whether information was given as regards the alleged economic difficulties, and whether there was a danger of deflection of trade;
Whereas the examination showed that there was such a danger and that steps should be taken to ensure full knowledge of likely intra-Community imports so as to render apparent any dangerous trend;
Whereas, therefore, Italy should be authorized to make the imports concerned subject to prior intra-Community surveillance until 31 December 1988,
The Italian Republic is hereby authorized to introduce, until 31 December 1988, and in accordance with Decision 87/433/EEC, inta-Community surveillance of imports of textile products of category 3 originating in Pakistan.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.
