COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 7 December 2009
authorising the Republic of Latvia to extend the application of a measure derogating from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of value added tax
(2009/1008/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 (1), and in particular Article 395(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By letter registered with the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 3 March 2009, the Republic of Latvia (hereinafter Latvia) requested an authorisation to continue to apply a measure derogating from the provisions of Directive 2006/112/EC governing the person liable for the payment of the VAT to the tax authorities.
(2) In accordance with Article 395(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC, the Commission informed the other Member States of the request made by Latvia in a letter dated 22 September 2009. By a letter dated 24 September 2009, the Commission notified Latvia that it had all the information that it deemed necessary to consider the request.
(3) The timber market in Latvia is dominated by small local companies and individual suppliers. The nature of the market and the businesses involved have generated tax fraud which the tax authorities have found difficult to control. Therefore, a special provision was included in Latvia’s law on VAT, laying down that, as regards timber transactions, the person liable to pay tax is the taxable person for whom the taxable supply of goods or services is carried out.
(4) The measure derogates from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC, stipulating that, under the internal system, the taxable person supplying goods or service is normally liable for the payment of the tax.
(5) The measure has previously been authorised in the 2003 Act of Accession (2), in particular in Chapter 7, point 1(b) of Annex VIII thereto, and by Decision 2006/42/EC of 24 January 2006 (3) under the then applicable Sixth Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (4).
(6) The Commission understands that the legal and factual situation which justified the current application of the derogating measure in question has not changed and continues to exist. Latvia should therefore be authorised to apply the measure during a further limited period.
(7) The derogation will not adversely affect the Union’s own resources accruing from VAT,
By way of derogation from Article 193 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Latvia is authorised to continue to designate the recipient as the person liable to pay VAT in the case of timber transactions.
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2010 until 31 December 2012.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Latvia.
1.3.2007 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 62/6
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 214/2007
of 28 February 2007
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (2) lays down a management system for tariff quotas. To reduce the administrative burden and costs at importation and to promote uniformity of treatment, provision has been made that certain tariff quotas are to be considered as critical. Experience with the system and improved use of electronic exchange of data between the Member States and the Commission have shown that the criteria used in determining the critical status can be further relaxed without a risk to the Community's own resources. Accordingly a tariff quota should be considered as critical where 90 % of the initial quota volume, instead of 75 % as in the current system, has been used.
(2) The need to carry out surveillance of goods in order to obtain data related to imports and exports has increased considerably. As a consequence, in cases of surveillance of goods, Member States should provide to the Commission, more frequently than under the current system, data on customs declarations for release for free circulation or on export declarations. Where such data are not available or are only partially available on the date of the customs declaration under a simplified procedure, they should be provided afterwards.
(3) Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 308a(10), the term ‘ECU 10’ is replaced by ‘10 euro’.
2. Article 308c is amended as follows:
(a) in paragraph 1, the percentage ‘75 %’ is replaced by ‘90 %’;
(b) in paragraph 3, the percentage ‘75 %’ is replaced by ‘90 %’.
3. Article 308d is replaced by the following:
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3362/94 of 20 December 1994 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1995 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 746/95 (3), provides for sprat quotas for 1995;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of sprat in the waters of ICES division III b, c and d (EC zone) by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden have reached the quota allocated for 1995; whereas Sweden has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 3 August 1995; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
Catches of sprat in the waters of ICES division III b, c and d (EC zone) by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Sweden for 1995.
Fishing for sprat in the waters of ICES division III b, c and d (EC zone) by vessels flying the flag of Sweden or registered in Sweden is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transshipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 3 August 1995.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(3) By virtue of the verbal note from the Ambassador of Andorra to the Community of 1 July 2004, Andorra has undertaken to ratify such agreement before 30 April 2005. This date is acceptable to the Community.
(4) The absence of ratification by Andorra, before the agreed date, of the agreement on the taxation of income from savings should result in the suspension of the negotiations on the monetary agreement until such ratification has taken place,
The necessary conditions for the opening of the negotiations with the Principality of Andorra on an agreement on monetary matters, as laid down in Article 8 of Decision 2004/548/EC on the position to be taken by the Community regarding an agreement concerning the monetary relations with the Principality of Andorra, have been fulfilled.
