THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field(1), as last amended by Decision 2001/572/EC(2), and in particular Article 6(2) and Article 8(2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2001/89/EC of 23 October 2001 on Community measures for the control of classical swine fever(3), and in particular Article 18(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Classical swine fever is a threat for domestic and feral pigs in the Community.
(2) Outbreaks of classical swine fever in domestic pig holdings can lead to very serious consequences and economic losses in the Community, in particular if they occur in areas with a high density of pigs.
(3) The rules for applying emergency vaccination in pig holdings are laid down in Directive 2001/89/EC.
(4) Pursuant to Decision 2002/106/EC of 1 February 2002 approving a Diagnostic Manual establishing diagnostic procedures, sampling methods and criteria for evaluation of the laboratory tests for the confirmation of classical swine fever(4), no suitable discriminatory tests are available to distinguish vaccinated pigs from pigs naturally infected with classical swine fever virus. Therefore, at present the successful use of marker vaccines against that disease cannot be envisaged in case of emergency vaccination.
(5) It is appropriate to purchase an adequate number of doses of live attenuated classical swine fever vaccine and to make arrangements for keeping it in stock and making it rapidly available in case of an emergency vaccination of domestic pigs.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Food Chain and Animal Health,
1. The Community shall purchase as soon as possible 1000000 doses of live attenuated classical swine fever vaccine.
2. The Community shall make arrangements for the storage and distribution of the vaccine referred to in paragraph 1.
The maximum cost of the measures referred to in Article 1 shall not exceed EUR 300000.
The measures provided for in Article 1(2) shall be carried out by the Commission in cooperation with the supplier designated by call for tender.
1. The Commission shall conclude contracts for the measures provided for in Articles 1 and 3 without delay.
2. The Director General of the Directorate General for Health and Consumer Protection shall be authorised to sign the contracts provided for in paragraph 1 on behalf of the European Commission.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1964/94 of 28 July 1994 concerning the stopping of fishing for hake by vessels flying the flag of Belgium
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3676/93 of 21 December 1993 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1994 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (2), provides for hake quotas for 1994;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member  State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of hake in the waters of ICES division VIII a b, d and e by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium have reached the quota allocated for 1994; whereas  Belgium has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 27 July 1994; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2015/491
of 23 March 2015
amending Regulation (EU) No 605/2014 amending, for the purposes of introducing hazard and precautionary statements in the Croatian language and its adaptation to technical and scientific progress, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures
(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 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (1), and in particular Article 37(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 605/2014 (2), which was adopted on 5 June 2014, provides for the application of new or updated provisions for harmonised classification and labelling of a number of substances as from 1 April 2015. Due to some delays in the adoption process of that Regulation, the transitional period until the application of Regulation (EU) No 605/2014 is significantly shorter than those applied for previous adaptations to technical and scientific progress. 10 months appear insufficient to allow economic operators to adapt to the new rules, some of which affect widely used chemicals. The application date should therefore be deferred to allow for a transitional period that is in line with the practice for previous adaptations to technical progress of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
(2) In order to ensure that economic operators can rely on the deferral of the date for obligatory application as soon as possible, it is necessary for this Regulation to enter into force as soon as possible after the publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 133 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3),
In Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 605/2014, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:
‘3.   Article 1(3) shall apply from 1 January 2016.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 28 September 2001
fixing the minimum selling prices for butter and the maximum aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for the 83rd individual invitation to tender under the standing invitation to tender provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2571/97
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1670/2000(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The intervention agencies are, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 635/2000(4), to sell by invitation to tender certain quantities of butter that they hold and to grant aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter. Article 18 of that Regulation stipulates that in the light of the tenders received in response to each individual invitation to tender a minimum selling price shall be fixed for butter and maximum aid shall be fixed for cream, butter and concentrated butter. It is further stipulated that the price or aid may vary according to the intended use of the butter, its fat content and the incorporation procedure, and that a decision may also be taken to make no award in response to the tenders submitted. The amount(s) of the processing securities must be fixed accordingly.
(2) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The minimum selling prices and the maximum aid and processing securities applying for the 83rd individual invitation to tender, under the standing invitation to tender provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2571/97, shall be fixed as indicated in the Annex hereto.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 29 September 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2086/96 of 28 October 1996 derogating, for the 1996/97 marketing year, from Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 laying down special measures to encourage the marketing of products processed from lemons
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, within the framework of the Community scheme supporting the processing of lemons, it appears that certain processing companies are experiencing financial difficulties in paying the minimum price to producers and whereas that situation should therefore be taken into account when authorizing the Member States, in respect of the new 1996/97 marketing year, to pay the financial compensation directly to producers under certain conditions as from the entry into force of this Regulation;
Whereas recourse to this possibility by a Member State will, for reasons of management and control, prevent the possibility of use being made of the provisions for granting financial compensation as referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 (4),
Notwithstanding Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77, a Member State may pay financial compensation directly to producers for the quantities delivered by the latter under contracts as referred to in Article 1 (2) of that Regulation that are concluded after the entry into force of this Regulation. In that case, processors must pay to producers a price which is at least equal to the difference between the minimum price referred to in Article 1 (3) and the financial compensation referred to in Article 2 of that Regulation.
Where Article 1 is applied, the financial compensation shall be paid to the producer at his request when the control authorities in the Member State in which processing is carried out have established that the products which are covered by contracts have been delivered.
The decision of the Member State to apply Article 1 must concern all producers and processors on its territory.
The detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, in particular with regard to the guarantee, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (5).
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply until the end of the 1996/97 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
