THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 571/88 of 29 February 1988 on the organisation of Community surveys on the structure of agricultural holdings (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) When determining the characteristics to be surveyed, an effort should be made to limit, as far as possible, the burden on respondents to the survey. In accordance with Article 8(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 571/88, certain Member States have asked to be authorised to use, in the 2005 survey on the structure of agricultural holdings, for certain characteristics, information that is already available from sources other than statistical surveys.
(2) The results of the Farm Structure Surveys are of great importance to the common agricultural policy. It is necessary to maintain a high quality of information, and therefore the use of data from sources other than statistical surveys can only be accepted if these data are as reliable as those from statistical surveys.
(3) The Member States having asked to be authorised to use data from sources other than statistical surveys have provided the Commission with technical documentation as to the relevance and the accuracy of these sources. Following examination of this technical documentation, the authorisations requested by the Member States should be granted.
(4) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics established by Council Decision 72/279/EEC (2),
1.   The Member States listed in the Annex are authorised to use information already available from sources other than statistical surveys in the Farm Structure Survey 2005 for certain characteristics.
Those sources shall be as set out in the Annex.
2.   The Member States concerned shall take the necessary measures to ensure that this information is of at least equal quality to information obtained from statistical surveys. They shall provide a report assessing the quality of these information sources.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Estonia, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Slovenia, the Republic of Finland, the Kingdom of Sweden, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (1), and in particular Article 14(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex VI to Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 (2) determines the global warming potentials (GWP) for non-CO2 greenhouse gases.
(2) Decision 15/CP.17 (3) of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in order to implement the use of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, determines that from 2015 until a further decision by the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC the GWP used by the Parties to calculate the carbon dioxide equivalence of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases should be those listed in Annex III to Decision 15/CP.17.
(3) In order to ensure consistency of the relevant Union legislation with the methodologies used in the context of the UNFCCC process, Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 should be amended accordingly.
(4) In accordance with Article 13(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC, allowances issued from 1 January 2013 are to be valid for emissions for an eight-year trading period beginning on that date. The adjustment of the quantity of allowances to be issued from 1 January 2013 pursuant to Article 9a(1) of that Directive is determined taking into account the GWP listed in Annex III to Decision 15/CP.17 of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC. As Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 applies from 1 January 2013, this Regulation should also apply from that date in order to ensure consistency of all greenhouse gas emission data reported throughout the entire eight-year trading period.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee,
Annex VI to Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

COMMISSION DECISION of 30 June 1994 altering the adjustment aid to the Portuguese refining industry for raw sugar imported from third countries at a reduced levy for the 1994/95 marketing year into Portugal (Only the Portuguese text is authentic)  (94/368/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 133/94 (2), and in particular the seventh indent of Article 9 (6) thereof,
Whereas Article 9 (4) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that, during the 1994/95 marketing year, adjustment aid is to be granted an intervention measure to the refining industry for raw sugar imported into Portugal at a reduced levy pursuant  to Article 303 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal and refined into white sugar in Portugal; whereas that aid amounts to ECU 0,08 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar for quantities of such sugar thus imported and refined in  Portugal; whereas the quantities of raw sugar imported at a reduced levy are those referred to in the first paragraph of Article 303 of the Act of Accession as well as the quantities lacking referred to in the third paragraph of that Article, the import  of which at a reduced levy is authorized for the marketing year under consideration;
Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 9 (4) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the abovementioned adjustment aid may be altered for a given marketing year, in the light in particular of the amount of the storage levy fixed for that  year; whereas although sugar imported into Portugal at a reducd levy is not subject to the storage levy, in view of the quantities of such sugar refined that levy is a determining factor for the prices as a whole on the market for white sugar and  therefore for the margin of the Portuguese refineries;
Whereas the amount of the storage levy for the 1994/95 marketing year was fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1545/94 (3) at ECU 3,00 per 100 kilograms of white sugar; whereas that amount represents a reduction of ECU 1,50 per 100 kilograms of white  sugar by comparison with that applicable for the 1993/94 marketing year;
Whereas a corresponding alteration in the adjustment aid therefore appears necessary;
Whereas those aids must therefore be altered; whereas account should in addition be taken of the alteration in the aid in question that has already been made for the previous marketing years in order to neutralize the effect of successive storage levy  modifications on the refining margin for the 1994/95 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
The adjustment aid provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 9 (4) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 shall be increased to ECU 1,08 per 100 kilograms of sugar expressed as white sugar for the 1994/95 marketing year.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2015/2006 of 19 December 2006 fixing for 2007 and 2008 the fishing opportunities for Community fishing vessels for certain deep-sea fish stocks (3) lays down quotas for 2007 and 2008.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of, or registered in, the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2008.
(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing for that stock and its retention on board, transhipment and landing,
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated for 2008 to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date stated in that Annex.
Prohibitions
Fishing for the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of, or registered in, the Member State referred to therein shall be prohibited from the date stated in that Annex.

of 21 June 2007
amending Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 on the characteristics of olive oil and olive-residue oil and on the relevant methods of analysis
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 865/2004 of 29 April 2004 on the common organisation of the market in olive oil and table olives and amending Regulation (EEC) No 827/68 (1), and in particular Article 5(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 (2) defines the physical and chemical characteristics of olive oils and olive-residue oils and the methods of analysis of these characteristics. These methods, and the limit values for the characteristics of oils, must be updated on the basis of the opinion of chemical experts and in line with the work carried out within the International Olive Oil Council.
(2) In particular, the chemical experts have concluded that the quantification of the percentage of 2-glyceryl monopalmitate is more precise for the detection of esterified oils. Decreasing the limit value for stigmastadiene in virgin olive oils also makes it possible to achieve better separation of virgin olive oils and refined olive oils.
(3) In order to allow a period of adjustment to the new standards, to give time for introducing the means of applying them and to avoid disturbance to commercial transactions, the amendments to this Regulation should not apply until 1 January 2008. For the same reasons, provision should be made for olive oil and olive-residue oils that are legally manufactured and labelled in the Community or legally imported into the Community and released for free circulation before that date to be marketed until all stocks are used up.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Olive Oil and Table Olives,
Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 is amended as follows:
1. The sixth indent of Article 2(1) is replaced by the following:
‘— for the determination of the percentage of 2-glyceryl monopalmitate, the method set out in Annex VII,’.
2. The Annexes are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall apply from 1 January 2008.
However, products which have been legally manufactured and labelled in the Community or legally imported into the Community and released for free circulation before 1 January 2008 may be marketed until all stocks are used up.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas Article 70 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 provides that imported products covered by that Article must be accompanied by a certificate attesting that they satisfy the provisions on production, release for free circulation and, where appropriate, disposal for direct human consumption in the third country in which they originate;
Whereas Article 73 (1) of the said Regulation stipulates that if the imported products in question have undergone oenological practices not allowed by Community rules or not consonant with the provisions of that Regulation or of those adopted pursuant thereto, they may not, except by way of a derogation, be offered or disposed of for direct human consumption; whereas the Council waived this principle by Regulation (EEC) No 1873/84 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3888/89 (4); whereas the period of this waiver expires on 31 July 1990; whereas, so that consultations can continue betweeen the Community and the third country concerned with a view to an agreement on this matter, the term of validity of the waiver should be extended for one year,
In the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1873/84, the date '31 July 1990' is hereby replaced by '31 July 1991'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 1990.
