COMMISSION  DECISION
of 4 April 1986
authorizing the Kingdom of Spain to introduce intra-Community surveillance of imports of products originating in certain third countries which have been put into free circulation in one of the Member States and which may be the subject of protective measures under Article 115 of the Treaty
(86/162/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Decision 80/47/EEC of 20 December 1979 on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take in respect of imports of certain products originating in third countries and put into free circulation in another Member State (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 2 thereof,
Whereas the abovementioned Decision requires Member States to have prior authorization from the Commission before introducing intra-Community surveillance of the imports concerned;
Whereas the Spanish Government has submitted an application to the Commission for such authorization in respect of certain products originating in certain third countries;
Whereas Spain has been authorized by the Community to maintain quantitative restrictions on a temporary basis on imports of the products in question, by way of derogation from the system of free intra-Community trade, because of the economic difficulties facing the sector concerned in Spain;
Whereas, as a result, there are differences in the conditions governing the import of these products into the Member States and these differences are capable of causing deflections of trade;
Whereas the Spanish authorities have pointed out that, as a result of the abolition between Spain and the Community of all quantitative restrictions and measures having equivalent effect concerning the movement of the products in question, there is a risk of trade in products originating in third countries being deflected through the other Member States towards Spain; whereas such deflections are capable of aggravating the continuing difficulties affecting the sector concerned in Spain, thus putting at risk achievement of the objectives of the abovementioned trade measures;
Whereas the Commission has examined the application of the Spanish Government and this examination has shown that Spain should be authorized to introduce intra-Community surveillance of the products indicated in the Annex which originate in the third countries listed therein and have been put into free circulation in the other Member States;
Whereas, to this end, the Kingdom of Spain should be authorized until 31 December 1986 to make intra-Community imports of the products listed in the Annex subject to the issue, in accordance with the procedures described in Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC, of an import document,
The Kingdom of Spain is authorized to introduce, until 31 December 1986 and in accordance with Article 2 of Decision 80/47/EEC, intra-Community surveillance of the products listed in the Annex.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 454/2010
of 26 May 2010
on transitional measures under Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the labelling provisions for feed
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the placing on the market and use of feed (1), and in particular Article 32(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 provides for a complete revision of EU rules concerning the marketing conditions of feed materials and compound feed and its Article 32(4) allows measures in order to facilitate transition to the new rules.
(2) The rules on labelling laid down by Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 will have to be applied as from 1 September 2010. This would imply an abrupt change and not allow a smooth transition for the feed business operators placing feed on the market. Switching the design and production of labels and the conversion of the existing machinery from one day to the other would be expensive for those businesses. The resulting burden would be disproportionate to the objective of the change. It is therefore appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which feed may be labelled in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 before 1 September 2010.
(3) As regards feed intended for pet animals, the market consists of a huge number of different products with specific labels. Compared with the current labelling rules for pet food, only Articles 15(f), 17(1)(f) and 19 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 will introduce changes to the labelling of those products, representing only minor changes with no effect on safety. In order to allow a smooth transition for the feed business operators concerned, it is justified to provide for a transitional period of 1 year during which the current labels for pet food may continue to be used after 1 September 2010.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
By way of derogation from the second paragraph of Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 and without prejudice to Council Directives 79/373/EEC (2), 82/471/EEC (3), 93/74/EEC (4) and 96/25/EC (5), feed labelled in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 may be placed on the market as from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
By way of derogation from the second paragraph of Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 767/2009, feed intended for pet animals and labelled in accordance with Directive 79/373/EEC and Article 16 of Council Directive 70/524/EEC (6) may be placed on the market until 31 August 2011. After that date, it may remain on the market until stocks are exhausted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th 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.

2. This Decision establishes a common technical regulation covering the attachment requirements for terminal equipment.
1.
