(86/70/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 546/2010
of 22 June 2010
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 for the 2009/2010 marketing year as regards the obligation to submit an export licence with import licence applications for CXL concessions sugar with order numbers 09.4317, 09.4318 and 09.4319
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 Article 148 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 of 25 September 2009 opening and providing for the administration of certain Community tariff quotas in the sugar sector (2), import licence applications for CXL concessions sugar with order numbers 09.4317, 09.4318, 09.4319 and 09.4321 and for Balkan sugar are to be accompanied by the original of the export licences issued by the competent authorities of the third country concerned. Imports of CXL concessions sugar with order numbers 09.4317, 09.4318 and 09.4319 are subject to the payment of an in-quota rate of EUR 98 per tonne. Given the high world market prices for raw cane sugar which prevailed during the first months of the marketing year, which led to an underutilisation of the CXL concessions sugar, it is important to facilitate those imports by simplifying the administrative procedure. Therefore, a derogation should be provided for allowing import licence applications for CXL concessions sugar with those three order numbers to be submitted without the relevant export licence.
(2) That derogation will have the effect of widening the access to the relevant import quotas to a larger number of operators. Operators who already obtained export licences should, however, be able to continue to apply for import licences during a short period of time before this Regulation becomes applicable.
(3) The derogation provided for in this Regulation should only apply until the end of the 2009/2010 marketing year.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
By way of derogation from Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 891/2009, import licence applications for CXL concessions sugar with order numbers 09.4317, 09.4318 and 09.4319 shall not be accompanied by the original of the export licences issued by the competent authorities of Australia, Brazil or Cuba.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 August 2010.
This Regulation shall expire on 30 September 2010.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Article 2(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2921/90(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1335/2001(4), sets the aid for skimmed milk processed into casein or caseinates. Given the market trend for these products and that for skimmed milk powder the aid should be decreased.
(2) The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
In Article 2(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2921/90 "EUR 3,80" is replaced by "EUR 3,20".
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-mannanase EC 3.2.1.78 (Hemicell), produced by Bacillus lentus (ATCC 55045), as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 21 November 2006 that the preparation of endo-1,4-beta-mannanase EC 3.2.1.78 produced by Bacillus lentus (ATCC 55045) (Hemicell) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (2).

The opinion of the Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. It does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. This opinion also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
