Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro(1), and in particular Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 provides that compensatory payments may be made in cases where the exchange rate applicable on the date of the operative event is below that previously applicable. However, that provision is not applicable to amounts to which a rate lower than the new rate was applicable during the 24 months immediately before the new rate took effect.

amending Decision ECB/2006/17 on the annual accounts of the European Central Bank

(2009/594/EC)
THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
,
Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular to Article 26.2 thereof,

(1) Guideline ECB/2009/10 of 7 May 2009 amending Guideline ECB/2000/7 on monetary policy instruments and procedures of the Eurosystem (1) allows access to Eurosystem open market operations and standing facilities by credit institutions which, in view of their specific institutional nature under Community law, are subject to scrutiny of a standard comparable to supervision by competent national authorities.
(2) Decision ECB/2009/16 of 2 July 2009 on the implementation of the covered bond purchase programme (2) provides for the establishment of a programme for the purchase of covered bonds.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 25 November 2010
amending Decision 2004/4/EC authorising Member States temporarily to take emergency measures against the dissemination of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith as regards Egypt
(notified under document C(2010) 8185)
(2010/714/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Commission Decision 2004/4/EC (2), tubers of Solanum tuberosum L., originating in Egypt, must not in principle be introduced into the Union. In line with a possibility to derogate from that Decision, the entry of such tubers into the Union was permitted from ‘pest-free areas’ and subject to specific conditions in previous years, including the 2009/2010 import season.
(2) During the 2009/2010 import season, only one interception of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith was recorded in the Union.
(3) As requested by Egypt, and in the light of the information provided by it, the Commission has established that the risk of spreading Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith with the entry into the Union of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. from ‘pest-free areas’ of Egypt has been sufficiently mitigated, provided that the specific conditions indicated in Decision 2004/4/EC are satisfied.
(4) The entry into the Union of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L., originating in ‘pest-free areas’ of Egypt, should therefore be permitted for the 2010/2011 import season.
(5) Decision 2004/4/EC established that it had to be reviewed by 30 September 2010. In light of the above findings, the deadline for the review should be extended.
(6) Decision 2004/4/EC should be therefore amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Decision 2004/4/EC is amended as follows:
1. in Article 2(1), ‘2009/2010’ is replaced by ‘2010/2011’;
2. in Article 4, ‘31 August 2010’ is replaced by ‘31 August 2011’;
3. in Article 7, ‘30 September 2010’ is replaced by ‘30 September 2011’;
4. the Annex is amended as follows:
(a) in point 1(b)(iii), ‘2009/2010’ is replaced by ‘2010/2011’;
(b) in the second indent of point 1(b)(iii), ‘1 January 2010’ is replaced by ‘1 January 2011’;
(c) in point 1(b)(xii), ‘1 January 2010’ is replaced by ‘1 January 2011’.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 436/2001
of 2 March 2001
amending Annex II to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) 2020/2000(2), and in particular Article 13, second indent thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 7(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, certain Member States have since 1997 submitted information in view of amending certain provisions in Annex II.
(2) Composted household waste and composted mixture of vegetable matter are products which, before the adoption of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, were in common use according to the codes of practice on organic farming followed in the Community. These products are currently also available after other fermentations than composting, in particular anaerobic fermentation in view of biogas production. The amendments for these products are urgent in the light of the upcoming agricultural season during which these products could be used, under the restrictive requirements laid down in Annex I, part A, to the Regulation, for fertilising purposes. Anaerobic fermentation in view of biogas production is a process which in principle is in line with the environment protection objectives of organic farming.
(3) It is necessary to correct in several languages the name of the product "basic slag" to cover the same product. It also appeared that this product was not edited in the Portuguese version of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2381/94(3), which established part A of Annex II. Therefore this omission has to be corrected.
(4) The experience with the use of industrial lime from sugar production in organic farming has shown that it is appropriate to permit this use to continue after 31 March 2002.
(5) Many preparations of pyrethrins extracted from Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium contain piperonylbutoxide as synergist. Therefore it is appropriate to strengthen the conditions under which these preparations can be used.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,
Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply forthwith.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1897/93 of 14 July 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2922/92 as regards the interest rate to be applied to Greece
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No  1571/93 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas the third paragraph of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 lays down that the Commission may apply to a Member State bearing particularly high interest rates a specific rate equal to the uniform interest rate plus the difference between  double that rate and the actual rate borne by the Member State; whereas the conditions for fixing such a rate are satisfied by Greece; whereas, therefore, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2922/92 of 7 October 1992 on the rate of interest to be used for  calculating the costs of financing intervention measures comprising buying-in, storage and disposal (3) should be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the EAGGF Committee,
The following is added to point (2) of Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2922/92:
'16,95 % for Greece'.
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 October 1992.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
