COMMISSION DECISION

establishing the classes of reaction-to-fire performance for certain construction products as regards air drying jointing compounds
(notified under document C(2010) 399)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2010/83/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,
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 a 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 air drying jointing compounds 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.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
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 DECISION  of 18 March 1991  on the conclusion of an agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria concerning the marketing, in Austrian territory, of Community table  wines and 'Landwein' in bottles  (92/231/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Whereas, to promote quality wines at the expense of table wines and to avoid any confusion in the minds of consumers, the Austrian law of 29 August 1985 relating to wines prohibits the marketing of table wine in bottles containing more than 25 cl but  less than one litre; whereas that measure nonetheless constitutes a barrier to imports of Community table wines traditionally marketed in bottles of less than one litre;
Whereas it is in the interest of the Community and Austria to foster the harmonious development of trade in wine, in accordance with Article 15 of the agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria signed on 22 July 1972  (1), particularly as regards table wines of a certain quality; whereas, to that end, an agreement should be concluded whereby Austria permits the marketing, on its territory, of the wines in question, notwithstanding the abovementioned Austrian  provisions and subject to observance of a minimum import price;
Whereas the Commission has negotiated an agreement on the matter with the Republic of Austria in the form of an exchange of letters which should be approved,
The Agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria concerning the marketing, in Austrian territory, of Community table wines and 'Landwein' in bottles is hereby approved on  behalf of the Community.
The text of the agreement is attached to this Decision.
1. The President of the Council is hereby authorized to designate the person empowered to sign the Agreement.
2. The President of the Council shall give the notification provided for in point 6 of the Agreement.
