COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 2058/84

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1430/82 in respect of certain restrictions on the importation of hemp seed
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42, 43 and 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1430/82 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2910/83 (3), specified that importation of unbroken hemp seed, falling within subheading 12.01 B of the Common Customs Tariff, was to be authorized only if the germination rate did not exceed a maximum percentage to be determined or if the seed was to be used in scientific or technical experiments; whereas this provision aims at preventing such seed being sown and thus posing a threat to human health;
Whereas the fixing of a maximum germination rate raises more difficult technical problems than originally anticipated; whereas verification of compliance with such a requirement would be an undue hindrance to importation;
Whereas the maximum germination rate requirement should therefore be withdrawn and replaced by a stipulation that imports of the product in question will only be permitted subject to verification that it will not be used for sowing,
Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1430/82 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In paragraphs 1 and 2, 'in Article 1' is replaced by 'in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70';
2. Paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:
'3. The importation of unbroken hemp seed falling within subheading 12.01 B of the Common Customs Tariff shall be authorized only if it is verified that it will not be used for sowing.'
The Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
(2) shall apply from 1 August 1984.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to the joint proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission,

(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 (2) gives effect to the measures provided for in Decision 2010/413/CFSP.
(2) On 12 February 2015, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2015/236 (3) amending Decision 2010/413/CFSP in order to extend, until 30 June 2015, the exemption provided for in Article 20(14) of that Decision concerning acts and transactions carried out with regard to listed entities in so far as necessary for the execution of obligations provided for in contracts concluded before 23 January 2012 or in ancillary contracts necessary for the execution of such obligations where the supply of Iranian crude oil and petroleum products or the proceeds derived from their supply are for the reimbursement of outstanding amounts with respect to contracts concluded before 23 January 2012 to persons or entities within the territories of Member States or under their jurisdiction, where those contracts specifically provide for such reimbursements.
(3) That measure falls within the scope of the Treaty and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to implement it, in particular with a view to ensuring its uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.
(4) Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly,
In point (b) of Article 28a of Regulation (EU) No 267/2012, the words ‘until 31 December 2014’ are replaced by the words ‘until 30 June 2015’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.
