REGULATION (EC) No 1366/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 6 September 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 as regards the base year for the allocation of quotas of hydrochlorofluorocarbons with respect to the Member States that acceded to the European Union on 1 May 2004
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 175(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (3) takes 1999 as the base year for allocating quotas of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). The HCFC market in the 10 new Member States has changed considerably since 1999, with the arrival of new companies and changes in market shares. Taking 1999 as the base year for allocating quotas of HCFCs in these new Member States would result in a large number of companies not receiving an import quota. This could be considered as being arbitrary and might also result in a breach of the principles of non-discrimination and legitimate expectations.
(2) As a general rule, quotas should be based on the most recent and representative figures available in order to ensure that a number of importing companies in the new Member States are not excluded. It is therefore appropriate to choose the years for which the most recent data are available. In order to best reflect the commercial situation on the HCFC market in the 10 new Member States, average market shares in 2002 and 2003 should therefore be used as the basis for the companies from those Member States.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly,
The following point shall be added to Article 4(3)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000:
‘(i) by way of derogation from point (h), each producer and importer in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia shall ensure that the calculated level of hydrochlorofluorocarbons which it places on the market or uses for its own account shall not exceed, as a percentage of the calculated levels set out in points (b), (d), (e) and (f), the average of its percentage market share in 2002 and 2003.’
.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 8 March 2007
amending and adapting Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards Bulgaria, Romania and Malaysia
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania, and in particular Article 56 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and amending Council Directive 92/65/EEC (1), and in particular Articles 10 and 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 998/2003 lays down the animal health requirements applicable to the non-commercial movement of pet animals and the rules applicable to checks on such movements.

Having regard to the request submitted by Sweden,
Whereas in Sweden the production of seed of the category 'certified seed` of certain varieties of Timothy (Phleum bertolonii DC) satisfying the requirements of Directive 66/401/EEC in relation to minimum germination capacity has been insufficient in 1996 and is therefore not adequate to meet that country's needs;
Whereas it is not possible to cover this demand satisfactorily with seed from other Member States, or from third countries, satisfying all the requirements laid down in the said Directive;
Whereas Sweden should therefore be authorized to permit for a period expiring on 30 June 1997 the marketing of seed of the abovementioned species subject to less stringent requirements;
Whereas, moreover, other Member States which are able to supply Sweden with such seed not satisfying the requirements of the said Directive should be authorized to permit the marketing of such seed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
Sweden is authorized to permit, for a period expiring on 30 June 1997, the marketing in its territory of a maximum of 1,7 tonnes of seed of the category 'certified seed` of varieties of the type 'Evergreen` of Timothy (Phleum bertolonii DC) which does not satisfy the requirements laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/401/EEC with regard to the minimum germination capacity, provided that the following requirements are satisfied:
(a) the germination capacity is at least 75 % of pure seed;
(b) the official label shall bear the endorsement 'minimum germination capacity 75 %.`
Member States other than the applicant Member State are also authorized to permit, on the terms set out in Article 1 and for the purposes intended by the applicant Member State, the marketing in their territory of the seed authorized to be marketed under this Decision.
Member States shall immediately notify the Commission and the other Member States of the various quantities of seed labelled and permitted to be marketed in their territory pursuant to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
