DECISION No 1554/2005/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 7 September 2005
amending Council Decision 2001/51/EC establishing a programme relating to the Community framework strategy on gender equality and Decision No 848/2004/EC establishing a Community action programme to promote organisations active at European level in the field of equality between men and women
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 13(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (1),
Whereas:
(1) The Council by Decision 2001/51/EC (2), established a programme relating to the Community framework strategy on gender equality to improve the understanding of issues related to gender equality, promote and disseminate the values and practices underlying gender equality and develop the capacity of players to promote gender equality effectively.
(2) The European Parliament and the Council by Decision No 848/2004/EC (3), established a Community Action Programme to promote organisations active at European level in the field of equality between men and women to support the activities of such organisations of which an ongoing programme of work or a specific measure serves the general European interest in the field of equality between men and women or pursues an objective which is part of the European Union's policy in this area.
(3) Both programmes expire on 31 December 2005. It is essential to ensure the continuity of Community policy for the promotion of gender equality in view of the objectives enshrined in Article 13 of the Treaty.
(4) It is necessary to extend the programmes for a one-year transitional period until a new multi-annual framework programme on the financing of actions in the employment and social field for the period 2007 to 2013 including a strand on gender equality is established.
(5) Decision 2001/51/EC was based on Article 13 of the Treaty. However, following the amendments introduced by the Treaty of Nice, Article 13(2) constitutes the specific legal basis for the adoption of Community incentive measures intended to contribute to the combating of discrimination. It is therefore appropriate to base the amendment of Decision 2001/51/EC on Article 13(2),
Decision 2001/51/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 1, the date ‘31 December 2005’ shall be replaced by ‘31 December 2006’;
2. Article 11(1) shall be replaced by the following:
Decision No 848/2004/EC is hereby amended as follows:
1. in Article 1(3), the date ‘31 December 2005’ shall be replaced by ‘31 December 2006’;
2. Article 6(1) shall be replaced by the following:
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DELEGATED DIRECTIVE 2014/70/EU
of 13 March 2014
amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for lead in micro-channel plates (MCPs)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of lead in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market.
(2) Micro-channel plates (MCPs) are used for the detection and amplification of ions and electrons in medical devices and monitoring and control instruments. The substitution of lead in MCPs is scientifically and technically impracticable.
(3) The substitution of MCPs as components with alternative detectors is not viable under conditions where extreme miniaturisation, very short response times or very high signal multiplication factors are required. The use of lead in those cases where the performance and specific features of MCPs exceed alternative detectors should therefore be exempted from the prohibition. As currently no lead-free alternatives are in sight, pursuant to Article 5(2) of Directive 2011/65/EU, the validity period of the exemption should be 7 years from the relevant compliance dates for medical devices, monitoring and control instruments, in vitro medical devices and industrial monitoring and control instruments, as laid down in Article 4(3) of Directive 2011/65/EU. In view of the innovation cycles for all medical devices and monitoring and control instruments 7 years is a relatively short transition period which is unlikely to have adverse impacts on innovation.
(4) Directive 2011/65/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.
1.   Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by the last day of the sixth month after entry into force at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2175/92 (3) lays down detailed rules for the application of the specific measures for the supply of processed fruit and vegetable products to the Canary Islands, in particular the forecast supply balance fixing the quantities  qualifying for the specific measure during the period from July 1992 to June 1993; whereas the quantities fixed for a certain number of products are on the verge of being totally used; whereas it is therefore necessary to increase the quantities of  certain products for the current marketing year on the basis of the observed needs of the market in the Canary Islands;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2175/92 is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
