Whereas cases of blue tongue disease have been discovered in Greece;
Whereas the appearance of that exotic disease represents a serious danger for livestock in the Community;
Whereas the Community should therefore participate in rapidly eradicating the disease by granting Greece a financial contribution;
Whereas, before her accession to the Community, Greece took the appropriate measures to control and restrict the spread of the disease when it appeared and was officially confirmed on the island of Lesbos; whereas Greece since accession continues to apply appropriate measures as provided for in Article 1 (1) of Decision 77/97/EEC by means of national regulations and by the application of Commission Decision 81/11/EEC (3) which prohibits the movement of bovine animals from Lesbos to the other Member States;

Whereas further measures on a Community level are planned to ensure the eradication and continuing surveillance of blue tongue disease;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
The Community shall with effect from 1 January 1981 cover 50 % of the expenses incurred by Greece in compensating owners for the slaughter and, where appropriate, the destruction of animals susceptible to blue tongue disease and the disinfection of the farms following the detection on its territory of animals clinically affected with blue tongue disease or animals giving positive results to serological tests for blue tongue disease.
The Community financial participation shall be granted after supporting documents have been submitted.
This Decision is addressed to the Hellenic Republic.

(2013/13/EU)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
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 30 December 2011 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) Austria submitted an application on 21 December 2011 to mobilise the EGF in respect of redundancies in 105 enterprises operating in the NACE Revision 2 Division 88 (‘Social work activities without accommodation’) in the NUTS II region of Steiermark (AT22), and supplemented it by additional information up to 25 June 2012. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission, therefore, proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 5 200 650.
(5) The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the application submitted by Austria,
For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2012, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 5 200 650 in commitment and payment appropriations.

of 20 July 1990
concerning the stopping of fishing for cod by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2241/87 of 23 July 1987 establishing certain control measures for fishing acivities (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3483/88 (2), and in particular Article 11 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4047/89 of 19 December 1989 fixing, for certain fishstocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1990 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1887/90 (4), provides for cod quotas for 1990;

Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of cod in the waters of ICES division II b by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom have reached the quota allocated for 1990; whereas the United Kingdom has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 10 July 1990; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of cod in the waters of ICES division II b by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to the United Kingdom for 1990.
Fishing for cod in the waters of ICES division II b by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

Commission Decision
of 17 November 2003
establishing a project for standard sera for the diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease and the financial contribution by the Community for the year 2003
(2003/811/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 19 of Decision 90/424/EEC requires the Community to undertake the technical and scientific measures necessary for the development of veterinary legislation.
(2) Since 1992, the Community has followed a strict policy of prohibiting prophylactic vaccination with regard to foot-and-mouth disease. Therefore, livestock in the Community are highly receptive to the foot-and-mouth disease virus. The epidemiological situation in some third countries neighbouring or trading with the Community makes it necessary to provide for measures allowing rapid diagnosis of the disease, emergency vaccination and subsequent testing of vaccinated animals to identify infected herds.
(3) To carry out serological tests, it is necessary to make available standard reference sera to be used in laboratory tests for the detection of antibodies to both structural and non-structural proteins of the foot-and-mouth disease virus.
(4) In accordance with Council Directive 2003/85/EC of 29 September 2003 on Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease(3) repealing Directive 85/511/EEC and Decisions 89/531/EEC and 91/665/EEC and amending Directive 92/46/EEC, serological surveillance carried out in the aftermath of an outbreak is a precondition for the withdrawal of restrictions imposed on trade in live animals of susceptible species and their products. Making standard sera available may consequently contribute to the development of Community legislation on foot-and-mouth disease.
(5) The financial resources necessary for the Community contribution to the production, storage and distribution of a first batch of standard sera for the diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease in 2003 should therefore be engaged.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Community shall finance a project for the production, storage and distribution of a first batch of standard sera to be used in assays for the detection of antibodies against structural and non-structural proteins of different serotypes of the foot-and-mouth disease virus in different species of livestock susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease.
The measures provided for in Article 1 shall be carried out by the body or institution designated by the Commission to coordinate the scientific and technical collaboration of laboratories and institutions.
The maximum amount of Community financing for the project provided for in Article 1 shall not exceed EUR 800000.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
