Commission Regulation (EC) No 2878/2000
of 28 December 2000
amending Annex IV to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 517/94 of 7 March 1994 on common rules for imports of textile products from certain third countries not covered by bilateral agreements, protocols or other arrangements, or by other specific Community import rules(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 7/2000(2), and in particular Article 5 in conjunction with Article 25(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The quantitative restrictions applicable to textile and clothing imports originating in North Korea are listed in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 517/94.
(2) The Commission has been requested by certain economic operators to increase the volumes of certain quantitative restrictions for imports of textile products originating in North Korea in order to satisfy certain market requirements.
(3) It is necessary to strike a certain balance between providing the requistie protection for the relevant sector of the Community industry concerned and maintaining an acceptable level of trade with North Korea, bearing in mind the various interests of the parties concerned.
(4) An analysis of the situation in the Community industry concerned shows that the increase of the level of certain quotas for North Korea will not prejudice the abovementioned objective.
(5) The Commission therefore considers it appropriate to adapt accordingly the level of some of the quantitative restrictions applied in respect of North Korea, taking also into account the request received from the economic operators.
(6) Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 should therefore be adapted.
(7) It is desirable that this Regulation enters into force the day after its publication in order to allow operators to benefit from it as soon as possible.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Textiles Committee, as defined by Regulation (EC) No 517/94,
Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 517/94 is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
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 REGULATION (EC) No 1093/2004
of 10 June 2004
derogating from Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 as regards the term of validity of export licences in the milk and milk products sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 31(14) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds in the case of milk and milk products (2) lays down the term of validity of export licences.
(2) In order to take into account the potential impact of the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia to the Community on 1 May 2004, on the Community milk market and the need to monitor developments in the Community and world markets, Commission Regulation (EC) No 606/2004 (3) provided for that, by way of derogation from Regulation (EC) No 174/1999, the term of validity of export licences for milk products for which an application has been lodged from 15 April 2004 on should be limited to 30 June 2004.
(3) A close monitoring of both the internal and the world market since 1 May 2004 has shown that a longer validity period of the licences may be reestablished without any risk of destabilisation of the proper functioning of the common market organisation. It is therefore appropriate to repeal Regulation (EC) No 606/2004.
(4) In light of a proper management of the GATT export commitments it is appropriate to adapt the export licence validity period for the groups of products concerned; taking account of the quantities remaining in the respective export quotas at the end of the GATT year and with a view on an optimal use of the available quantities.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
By way of derogation from Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 174/1999, the term of validity of export licences with advance fixing of the refund, which are applied for until 23 June 2004 in respect of the products referred to in points (a) and (c) of that Article, shall expire on 30 June 2004.
Regulation (EC) No 606/2004 is repealed.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply to export licences applied for from that date.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas on 29 March 1993 imports of the products in question into the Community, originating in India and Pakistan, countries covered by preferential tariff arrangements, reached and were charged against that ceiling;

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.
(2) The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.
(3) The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(4) Poland submitted an application on 5 February 2010 to mobilise the EGF in respect of redundancies in two enterprises operating in NACE Revision 2 Division 29 (manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers) in the NUTS II region of Wielkopolskie (PL41) and supplemented it with additional information up to 6 July 2010.

COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2511/88
of 8 August 1988
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1686/72 on certain detailed rules on aid for seed
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 on the common organization of the market in seeds (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3997/87 (2), and in particular Article 3 (5) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1674/72 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3795/85 (4), lays down general rules for granting and financing aid for seed; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1686/72 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1382/74 (6), sets out detailed rules relating to the aid;
Whereas aid can be granted only for seed for sowing; whereas, if there are other possible uses for the seed and a risk that the aid will be improperly granted on a proportion of production, provision should be made for recipients of the aid to provide evidence that the seed covered by their aid applications was correctly used; whereas, in view of the splintering of seed marketing, it may be difficult to provide evidence for all seed marketed and the requirements relating to evidence should be relaxed;
Whereas Community rice seed production has risen substantially over the last three marketing years; whereas there thus appears to be a risk that a proportion of this seed could be used for purposes other than sowing; whereas control measures for the use of such seed should therefore be introduced; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1686/72 should therefore be amended accordingly;
Whereas the Management Committee for Seeds has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The following subparagraph is added to Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1686/72:
'In the case of rice seed the aid shall be granted only if the recipient shows to the satisfaction of the Member State concerned that the seed has in fact been marketed for sowing. This condition shall be deemed to have been met if the recipient proves that at least 95 % of the seed for which aid was applied for has been marketed for sowing.
The Member States shall notify the Commission of the measures adopted to verify the use to which seed qualifying for the aid has been put. The Member States shall, where appropriate, carry out checks on seed breeders or at seed breeding farms and on users'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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:
(1) Article 1(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1713/93 specifies that the minimum sugarbeet prices referred to in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector(3) and the production levy and additional levy referred to Articles 15 and 16 respectively of that Regulation are to be converted into national currency using a specific exchange rate equal to the average, calculated pro rata temporis, of the exchange rates applicable during the marketing year in question.

(2) The system of specific agricultural conversion rates was amended from 1 January 1999 by Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(4).
