(2007/28/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (1), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2000/75/EC lays down control rules and measures to combat bluetongue in the Community, including the establishment of protection and surveillance zones and a ban on animals leaving those zones.
(2) Commission Decision 2005/393/EC of 23 May 2005 on protection and surveillance zones in relation to bluetongue and conditions applying to movements from or through these zones (2) provides for the demarcation of the global geographic areas where protection and surveillance zones (‘the restricted zones’) are to be established by the Member States in relation to bluetongue.
(3) On 20 November 2006 Spain informed the Commission that serotype 4 virus has been detected as circulating in a peripheral area of restricted zone E. Consequently that zone should be extended, taking into account of the data available on the ecology of the vector and the current meteorological situation.
(4) On 21 November 2006 Germany informed the Commission of new outbreaks of bluetongue in Lower Saxony. In view of those findings, it is appropriate to amend the demarcation of the restricted zone in Germany.
(5) Following the notification of outbreaks of bluetongue in early November 2006 by Italy, due to a new serotype, by Decision 2006/858/EC, a new restricted zone G has been added to Annex I to Decision 2005/393/EC to include the three concerned provinces of southern Sardinia. However, the reference to this zone in the respective provisions of Decision 2005/393/EC has not been added. Therefore, for the sake of clarity, the list of zones referred to in Article 2 of Decision 2005/393/EC should be completed.
(6) Decision 2005/393/EC should be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Decision 2005/393/EC is amended as follows:
1. The first paragraph of Article 2 is replaced by the following:
2. Annex I is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament;
Whereas there is a substantial trade in certain Member States in fresh "elongated" tomatoes for consumption and whereas their commercial value is very much the same as that of other types of tomatoes ; whereas "elongated" tomatoes should therefore be admitted in the "Extra" Class and Class I of the common quality standards;

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 28 June 1985
on precautionary measures with regard to the buying in of rape seed
(85/330/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 5 and 155 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 231/85 (2),
Whereas the Council has not, to date, adopted the prices for the 1985/86 marketing year, in accordance with Articles 22 and 24a of Regulation No 136/66/EEC; whereas the Commission, in compliance with the tasks entrusted to it by the Treaty, is obliged to adopt the precautionary measures essential to ensure continuity of operation of the common agricultural policy as regards rape seed; whereas these measures are taken as a precaution and are without prejudice to the Council's price decisions for the 1985/86 marketing year;
Whereas the retention, even on a temporary basis, of the intervention prices paid during the 1984/85 marketing year would definitely involve the threat of very heavy sales of rape seed from the new crop to intervention in the light of the possible reduction in the prices that will be adopted for the new marketing year; whereas, in order to avoid the management of the sector being disrupted, the buying-in prices fixed for the 1984/85 marketing year should be applied as a precautionary and interim measure, less a reduction;
Whereas Article 24a of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides for a compulsory reduction in the target and intervention prices where the actual average production of the three most recent marketing years exceeds the guarantee thresholds set; whereas, in the light of the positions adopted in the Council and in line with the Commission's amended proposal, a reduction of 1,8 % should be implemented on a temporary basis; whereas such a reduction leaves open the possibility of a later adjustment in the event that the prices are fixed at a higher level,
1. The intervention agencies shall apply, when buying in rape seed, an intervention price equal to that fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1102/84 (3) for the 1984/85 marketing year, less 1,8 %.
2. The price referred to in paragraph 1 shall be increased, in accordance with Article 25 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, each month as from the beginning of the third month of the marketing year and for a period of eight months, by an amount equal to that laid down by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1103/84 (4).
3. Pursuant to Article 26 (1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, the purchase price shall be adjusted on the basis of the premiums and penalties provided for by Commission Regulation No 282/67/EEC (5).
4. The provisions of this Article shall be applied without prejudice to the decisions to be taken by the Council in accordance with Articles 22 and 24a of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3600/85 of 17 December 1985 applying generalized tariff preferences for 1986 to textile products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,

COMMISSION DECISION of 14 July 1997 on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20 (2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards external thermal insulation composite systems/kits with rendering (ETICS) (Text with EEA relevance) (97/556/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 Article 13 (3) (a) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of section 2 (ii) of Annex III, and the procedure referred to in Article 13 (3) (b) corresponds to the systems set out in section 2 (i) of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of section 2 (ii) 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 approval.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
