amending Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1917/2000 laying down certain provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 as regards statistics on external trade
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 of 22 May 1995 on the statistics relating to the trading of goods by the Community and its Members States with non-member countries(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 374/98(2), and in particular Article 21 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The use of a threshold for each transaction for external trade statistics may allow appreciable savings in the costs for collecting the information, at the cost of a limited loss of accuracy.
(2) Exhaustive coverage of external trade statistics must be assured, particularly in view of their use at macro economic level for drawing up the national accounts and the balances of payments. The use of a statistical threshold must therefore be compensated for by an estimate of the data below the threshold.
(3) The amount of the statistical threshold was calculated in such a way as to meet fully the objective of savings in the collection costs, while taking account of price trends and respecting the relevance and accuracy of the statistics published in accordance with the Combined Nomenclature.
(4) Other procedures may enable the burden of data collection to be simplified and limited without any effect on quality, for example by using electronic declarations. Application of the statistical threshold must therefore remain optional.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on External Trade Statistics,
Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1917/2000(3) shall be replaced by the following: "Article 3
1. The statistical threshold referred to in Article 12 of the Basic Regulation shall be fixed, for each type of goods, so that imports or exports exceeding EUR 1000 in value or 1000 kg in net mass shall be collected for the production of external trade statistics.
2. Application by the Member States of the threshold referred to in paragraph 1 shall remain optional.
3. The data transmitted periodically by the Member States applying a statistical threshold shall be adjusted so that the value of trade situated below the threshold is included in the external trade statistics, at least for total products.
In the absence of harmonised provisions adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 21 of the Basic Regulation, each Member State shall use the method of adjustment it considers most appropriate.
4. Member States applying a statistical threshold shall inform the Commission of the amount of that threshold and the method of adjustment used."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 January 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION  DECISION

authorizing the French Republic to permit temporarily the marketing of sunflower seed not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 69/208/EEC
(89/103/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 69/208/EEC of 30 June 1969 on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Having regard to the request submitted by the French Republic,
Whereas in France the production of sunflower seed satisfying the requirements of Directive 69/208/EEC of varieties resistant to the disease Phomopsis which are included in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species or the French national catalogue of varieties has been insufficient in 1988 and therefore is not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas the French Republic should therefore be authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 May 1989, the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species of the category 'certified seed' of varieties included neither in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species nor in that Member State's national catalogue of varieties;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States, which are able to supply France with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed provided that it is intended for France;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
The French Republic is hereby authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 31 May 1989, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 460 tonnes of sunflower seed (Helianthus annuus L.) of the category 'certified seed' of varieties resistant to the disease Phomopsis which are included neither in the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species, nor in that Member State's national catalogue of varieties. The official label shall state 'Intended exclusively for France'.
The other Member States are hereby authorized to permit, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 1, the marketing in their territory of a maximum of 460 tonnes of sunflower seed provided that it is intended exclusively for France. The official label shall state: 'Intended exclusively for France'.
Member States shall notify the Commission before 31 July 1989 of the quantities of seed marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
