THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of 26 May 2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC (3), and in particular Article 18 thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EEC (4), and in particular Article 66(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Denmark has notified the Commission and the other Member States of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza A virus of subtype H5N1 in poultry on its territory and has taken the appropriate measures provided for in Commission Decision 2006/135/EC of 22 February 2006 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza in the Community (5).
(2) Following that outbreak, Denmark took the necessary measures in accordance with Decision 2006/135/EC. After notification of those measures, the Commission has examined them in collaboration with the Member State concerned, and is satisfied that areas A and B established by that Member State are at sufficient distance to the outbreak in poultry. It is therefore necessary to establish areas A and B in Denmark and to fix the duration of that regionalisation.
(3) Taking account of Article 2(4)(b) and (c) of Decision 2006/135/EC and a final evaluation of the epidemiological situation with regard to highly pathogenic avian influenza of the subtype H5N1 in certain parts of Sweden and Germany, the measures established for those areas in accordance with Article 2(2) of that Decision are no longer necessary.
(4) It is therefore necessary to amend Parts A and B of Annex I to Decision 2006/135/EC accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex I to Decision 2006/135/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 10 February 2012
amending Decision 2007/453/EC as regards the BSE status of Denmark and Panama
(notified under document C(2012) 678)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2012/111/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. For that purpose, the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof (‘countries or regions’) is according to Article 5(1) and Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 to be determined by classification into one of three categories depending on the BSE risk involved, namely a negligible BSE risk, a controlled BSE risk and an undetermined BSE risk.
(2) The Annex to Commission Decision 2007/453/EC of 29 June 2007 establishing the BSE status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof according to their BSE risk (2) lists countries or regions according to their BSE risk status.
(3) The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) plays a leading role in the categorisation of countries or regions according to their BSE risk and employs criteria equivalent to those established in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001. The list in the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC takes account of Resolution No 18 – Recognition of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Risk Status of Members – adopted by the OIE in May 2010 regarding the BSE status of Member States and third countries (3).
(4) In May 2011, the OIE adopted Resolution No 17 – Recognition of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Risk Status of Members. That Resolution recognised Denmark and Panama as having a negligible BSE risk. The list in the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended to be brought into line with that Resolution as regards those countries (4).
(5) Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 427/84
of 21 February 1984
increasing the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 1162/83 for certain eels falling within subheading ex 03.01 A II of the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 28 thereof,
Whereas the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 1162/83 (1), opened and allocated among the Member States, for the period 1 July 1983 to 30 June 1984, a duty-free Community tariff quota for certain eels falling within subheading ex 03.01 A II of the Common Customs Tariff, the amount of which was fixed at 4 500 tonnes;
Whereas, on the basis of the most recent data on this product for the period in question, it is estimated that the additional imports from third countries required by the Community currently amount to 750 tonnes; whereas the size of the tariff quota should as a result be increased; whereas, in order to safeguard the Community character of the tariff quota in question, part of the volume of the proposed increase should be allocated to the Community reserve, the balance being allocated among certain Member States on a pro rata basis according to their foreseeable requirements for imports originating in third countries,
The volume of the Community tariff quota opened by Regulation (EEC) No 1162/83 for fresh eels (live or dead), chilled or frozen, falling within subheading ex 03.01 A II of the Common Customs Tariff, intended for processing by curing or skinning enterprises or for use in the industrial manufacture of products falling within heading No 16.04 of the Common Customs Tariff, is hereby increased from 4 500 to 5 250 tonnes.
1. A first instalment of the additional volume referred to in Article 1, amounting to 675 tonnes, shall be allocated as follows among the following Member States:
Denmark 270 tonnes
Germany 405 tonnes.
2. The second instalment, amounting to 75 tonnes, shall constitute the reserve.
The reserve provided for in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1162/83 shall be thus increased from 450 to 525 tonnes.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Commission Decision
of 6 October 2003
on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20(2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as liquid-applied bridge deck waterproofing kits
(notified under document number C(2003) 3483)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2003/722/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC(2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission is required to select, between the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety. This means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required.
(2) Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined shall be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications; therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications.
(3) The two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC. It is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures shall be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems.
(4) The procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III. The procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex II shall be indicated in the mandates for guidelines for European technical approvals.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the joint proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and of the European Commission,
Whereas:

(2) On 23 July 2012 and 18 February 2013, the Council concluded that a peaceful and credible constitutional referendum in Zimbabwe would represent an important milestone in the preparation of democratic elections justifying an immediate suspension of the majority of all remaining EU targeted restrictive measures against individuals and entities.
(3) In view of the outcome of the Zimbabwean constitutional referendum of 16 March 2013 the Council has decided to suspend the travel ban and asset freeze applying to the majority of the individuals and entities set out in Annex I to Decision 2011/101/CFSP. The suspension should be subject to a review by the Council every three months in light of the situation on the ground.
(4) Some of those measures fall within the scope of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and regulatory action at the level of the Union is therefore necessary in order to implement them, in particular with a view to ensuring their uniform application by economic operators in all Member States.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation must enter into force on the day following that of its publication,
The application of Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 314/2004 is suspended until 20 February 2014 in so far as it applies to persons and entities listed in the Annex to this Regulation. The suspension shall be reviewed every three months.
