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 191 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 585/2011 of 17 June 2011 laying down temporary exceptional support measures for the fruit and vegetable sector (2) introduced temporary exceptional support measures for the fruit and vegetable sector following an outbreak of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in Germany, which caused a significant disturbance of the Union fruit and vegetable market.
(2) Pursuant to Article 7(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 585/2011, Member States had to notify their requests for total Union support to the Commission by 18 July 2011. On the basis of the information notified by Member States in accordance with that Article, it appears that the impact of the crisis has been bigger than expected.
(3) Given the significant disturbance of the fruit and vegetables market and the harm caused to the fruit and vegetables sector, it is appropriate to increase the maximum amount of support provided for in Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 585/2011. For reasons of urgency, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.
(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,
Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 585/2011 is replaced by the following:

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 28 January 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Bio-Dynamics - High Resolution Ultrasound System, model Biosound' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/60/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 29 July 1982, Italy requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Bio-Dynamics - High Resolution Ultrasound System, model Biosound', ordered in March 1981 and intended for use in research on the evolution of arterial lesion in patients without clinical manifestations of vasculopathy and, in particular, in the study of blood-vessels that have minor degrees of stenosis, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 15 December 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is an ultrasound system;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'Bio-Dynamics - High Resolution Ultrasound System, model Biosound', which is the subject of an application by Italy of 29 July 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
COMMISSION DECISION  of 30 November 1979  on the implementation of the reform of agricultural structures in Italy (region of Tuscany) pursuant to Title II of Directive 75/268/EEC  (Only the Italian text is authentic)  (80/35/EEC)

Whereas pursuant to Article 6 of the said Directive the compensatory allowance cannot, however, be fixed at different levels according to the age of the recipient ; whereas the portion of the allowance which is granted only to young farmers cannot therefore be regarded as a compensatory allowance within the meaning of Title II of the said Directive;
Whereas in other respects the said Decision satisfies the conditions laid down in Title II of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas the finding in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Structure,
1. Decision No 704 of the region of Tuscany of 28 December 1977 satisfies the conditions for a financial contribution by the Community to the common measures referred to in Article 13 of Directive 75/268/EEC.
2. The financial contribution by the Community shall extend to that portion of the compensatory allowance fixed in the said Decision which applies to all farmers.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2006/45/EC

amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards the specification of the active substance propoxycarbazone
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the second indent of the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Directive 2003/119/EC (2) propoxycarbazone was included as active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) When applying for the inclusion of propoxycarbazone its manufacturer Bayer CropScience gave a specification based on small-scale production. For large-scale production, that company now intends to modify the specification as regards purity. It has submitted data to show that the modified specification fulfils the requirements for inclusion.
(3) Germany evaluated the information and data submitted by the company. It informed the Commission in July 2005 that it concludes that the modified specification does not cause any risks in addition to those already taken into account in the entry for propoxycarbazone in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC and in the Commission review report for that substance.
(4) Therefore it is justified to modify the specification of propoxycarbazone.
(5) It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.

They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 19 September 2006.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
