COMMISSION DECISION
of 2 December 2010
establishing the classes of reaction-to-fire performance for certain construction products as regards steel sheets with polyester coating and with plastisol coating
(notified under document C(2010) 389)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2010/737/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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), and in particular Article 20(2)(a) thereof,
After consulting the Standing Committee on Construction,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 89/106/EEC envisages that in order to take account of different levels of protection for the construction works at national, regional or local levels, it may be necessary to establish in the interpretative documents classes corresponding to the performance of products in respect of each essential requirement. Those documents have been published as the ‘Communication of the Commission with regard to the interpretative documents of Directive 89/106/EEC (2)’.
(2) With respect to the essential requirement of safety in the event of fire, interpretative document No 2 lists a number of interrelated measures which together define the fire safety strategy to be variously developed in the Member States.
(3) Interpretative document No 2 identifies one of those measures as the limitation of the generation and spread of fire and smoke within a given area by limiting the potential of construction products to contribute to the full development of a fire.
(4) The level of that limitation may be expressed only in terms of the different levels of reaction-to-fire performance of the products in their end-use application.
(5) By way of harmonised solution, a system of classes was adopted in Commission Decision 2000/147/EC of 8 February 2000 implementing Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards the classification of the reaction-to-fire performance of construction products (3).
(6) In the case of steel sheets with polyester coating and with plastisol coating it is necessary to use the classification established in Decision 2000/147/EC.
(7) The reaction-to-fire performance of many construction products and/or materials, within the classification provided for in Decision 2000/147/EC, is well established and sufficiently well known to fire regulators in Member States that they do not require testing for this particular performance characteristic,
The construction products and/or materials which satisfy all the requirements of the performance characteristic ‘reaction-to-fire’ without need for further testing are set out in the Annex.
The specific classes to be applied to different construction products and/or materials, within the reaction-to-fire classification adopted in Decision 2000/147/EC, are set out in the Annex to this Decision.
Products shall be considered in relation to their end-use application, where relevant.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 499/87
of 16 February 1987
derogating from the definition of 'originating products' to take account of the special situation of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon with regard to certain fishery products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the French Government has requested, on behalf of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, a derogation from the rules of origin to take into account the particular problems of that territory in respect of certain fishery products processed there;
Whereas Saint-Pierre and Miquelon was included in the customs territory of the Community until 30 June 1986; whereas its trade until that date was governed by the provisions on the free movement of goods within the Customs Union;
Whereas Council Decision 86/283/EEC of 30 June 1986 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Economic Community (1) has applied to Saint-Pierre and Miquelon since 1 July 1986;
Whereas Annex II to that Decision lays down the rules of origin applicable in preferential trade between overseas countries and territories and the Community; whereas those rules provide for the use of originating fish, which cannot be obtained at the present stage by the processing industry in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon;
Whereas Article 28 of the said Annex II sets out the conditions which must be fulfilled in order for a derogation to be granted; whereas these conditions are satisfied in so far as the geographical situation of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon prevents the utilization of raw materials wholly obtained or processed in other overseas countries and territories, in the ACP States or in the Community, and the application of the rules of origin would prevent an existing industry continuing to export its product to the Community,
By way of derogation from the rules of origin referred to in Annex II to Decision 86/283/EEC, the fishery products listed in the Annex to this Regulation manufactured in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon from non-originating fish and crustaceans shall be considered as originating in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon under the conditions set out in this Regulation.
The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall relate to an annual global quantity of 740 tonnes of the finished products listed in the Annex, exported from Saint-Pierre and Miquelon for the period from 1 December 1986 to 30 November 1989.
The competent authorities of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon shall carry out quantitative checks on exports as referred to in Article 2 and shall forward to the Commission every three months a statement of the quantities in respect of which movement certificates EUR.1 have been issued on the basis of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 December 1986.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Council Regulation (EC) No 2582/2001
of 19 December 2001
amending Regulation (EC) No 1017/94 concerning the conversion of land currently under arable crops to extensive livestock farming in Portugal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Whereas:
(1) Because of delays in the effective application of the conversion programme provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1017/94(3), a large number of areas that are potentially eligible for the scheme have not yet been converted. According to information supplied by the Member State, only 46000 hectares have so far been converted and, at the current rate of conversion under the scheme, only an estimated total of 64000 hectares will be converted by 31 December 2002, the date on which the scheme terminates, rather than the 200000 hectares provided for in Article 1 of the Regulation. In order to permit the objective set for the scheme to be achieved more fully, Portugal should be authorised to continue with the conversion scheme for three further years.
(2) Since a time limit was placed on the programme, Regulation (EC) No 1017/94 lays down that the specific reserve and any rights not yet allocated should lapse at the end of the programme. It should therefore be laid down that the specific reserve and any rights not yet allocated lapse at the end of the additional period of three years.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1017/94 should therefore be amended,
Regulation (EC) No 1017/94 is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 1 shall be replaced by the following: "Article 1
Portugal shall be authorised to carry out, for a period of 11 years, in the regions listed in the Annex to this Regulation, a programme for the conversion of land currently under arable crops to extensive livestock production, up to a maximum of 200000 hectares."
2. Article 7 shall be replaced by the following: "Article 7
At the end of the 11 year following the entry into force of this Regulation, unallocated premium rights shall lapse and the specific reserve shall be abolished."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
