Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Whereas:
(1) Multi-Chip Integrated Circuits (MCPs) are a new form of semiconductors which did not exist at the time of negotiation of the WTO Information Technology Agreement. Had they existed at the time, they would have probably been included at zero tariff level. Trade in this important technology should be facilitated.

(3) The Agreement eliminates applied duties and charges on MCPs, whilst leaving the WTO bound rates unchanged.
(4) The Agreement has been authenticated by the Secretary General of the Council of the European Union as depository on 28 November 2005.
(5) The Agreement should be concluded on behalf of the Community.
(6) Paragraph 7(a) of the Agreement provides that after the depositary receives four instruments of acceptance, those accepting Parties shall agree on a date of entry into force of the Agreement. It is appropriate to authorise the Commission, as representative of the Community in GAMS, to agree on a date in that regard with the other Parties to the Agreement,
The Agreement on Duty-Free Treatment of Multi-Chip Integrated Circuits (MCPs) is hereby concluded on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Agreement is attached to this Decision.
The Commission is authorised to agree with the other Parties to the Agreement on a date of entry into force. This date will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person(s) empowered to deposit, on behalf of the Community, the instrument of acceptance of the agreement in accordance with paragraph 7(b) thereof.

Whereas:
(1) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 lists the competent authorities to which specific functions related to the implementation of that Regulation are attributed.
(2) Belgium, Lithuania, Hungary, the Netherlands and Sweden requested that the address details concerning their competent authorities be amended,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 is hereby amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 implementing Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the increased level of official controls on imports of certain feed and food of non-animal origin
(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 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (1), and in particular Article 15(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 (2) lays down rules concerning the increased level of official controls to be carried out on imports of feed and food of non-animal origin listed in Annex I thereto, at the points of entry into the territories referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.
(2) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provides that the list in Annex I thereto is to be reviewed on a regular basis, and at least quarterly, taking into account at least the sources of information referred to in that Article.
(3) Occurrence and relevance of food incidents notified through the Rapid Alert System for Feed and Food (RASFF), findings of the missions to third countries carried out by the Food and Veterinary Office, as well as the quarterly reports which Member States have to make available as regards the official controls performed at their borders according to Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 indicate that there is need to review the list in Annex I to the above Regulation. In particular, Annex I thereto must be reviewed by removing those commodities for which the above information sources show an overall satisfactory degree of compliance with the relevant EU safety requirements and for which an increased level of official control is therefore no longer justified, and by adding other commodities for which the same sources show a degree of non-compliance with the relevant EU safety requirements that warrants the introduction of increased level of official controls.
(4) The amendments to Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 provided for in this Regulation should become applicable as soon as possible so that the increased level of official controls can, on one hand, cease for those commodities which are removed from the list and, on the other hand, start for those newly added.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 7 October 2010.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas, to ensure proper management of the market and normal deliveries of the product to the processing industry, the period allowed for such contracts to be concluded during the current marketing year should be extended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
By way of derogation from Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85, the time limit for concluding contracts for lemons which must be delivered to the industry during the period 1 December 1986 to 31 May 1987 is hereby fixed at 31 December 1986.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 1315/90
of 14 May  1990
fixing the guide price for flax seed for the 1990/91 marketing year
THE  COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 89 (2) and  234 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 569/76 of 15 March 1976 laying down special measures  for flax seed (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 4003/87 (2), and in particular Article 1  (1) and (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas, when the guide price for flax seed is fixed every year, account has to be taken both of  the objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the contribution which the Community  desires to make to the harmonious development of world trade; whereas the objectives of the common  agricultural policy are, in particular, to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural  community and to ensure that supplies are available and reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the first subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 569/76 provides more  specifically that this price shall be fixed at a level which is fair to producers, account being  taken of the supply requirements of the Community; whereas to this end a balanced relationship  should be maintained between this price and the price of other oil seeds;
Whereas, in accordance with these criteria, the guide price should be fixed at the same level as  that adopted for the last marketing year;
Whereas, under Article 68 of the Act of Accession, a price level differing from that of the common  prices has been applied in Spain; whereas, pursuant to Article 70 (1) of the Act of Accession, the  Spanish prices should be aligned on the common prices each year at the beginning of the marketing  year; whereas the rules laid down for this alignment give the Spanish prices set out below;
Whereas the guide price must be fixed for a standard quality to be determined by reference to the  average quality of seeds harvested in the Community; whereas the quality laid down for the 1989/90  marketing year meets this requirement and can accordingly be used for the following marketing  year,
For the 1990/91 marketing year, the guide  price for flax seed shall be:
(a)  ECU 50,64 per 100 kilograms for Spain;
(b)  ECU 55,41 per 100 kilograms for the other Member States.
The price referred to in  Article 1 shall relate to seed:
- in bulk, of sound and fair merchantable quality, and
- with an impurity content of 2 % and, for  seeds as such, humidity and oil contents of 9 and 38 % respectively.
This Regulation  shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the  European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 August 1990.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 886/2003
of 22 May 2003
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 23 May 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
