COMMISSION  DIRECTIVE
of 20 January 1989
amending Annex II to Council Directive 66/401/EEC on the marketing of fodder plant seed
(89/100/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), as last amended by Directive 88/380/EEC (2), and in particular Article 21a thereof,
Whereas, by reason of the conditions of its cultivation and its morphological characteristics, seed of meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis) contains a relatively high proportion of seed of poa species;
Whereas, for seed of meadow foxtail, it is accordingly difficult to obtain, in relation to seed of poa species, the 1 % maximum content by weight of seeds or a single other plant species laid down in Annex II to Directive 66/401/EEC;
Whereas for seed of tall oatgrass (Arrhenatherum elatius) and golden oatgrass (Trisetum flavescens), which display similar morphological characteristics, this 1 % maximum does not apply to seed of poa species;
Whereas, in the light of the development of technical knowledge, it is therefore appropriate to amend Annex II to Directive 66/401/EEC in order to make the same provision for seed of meadow foxtail;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,
In Annex II to Directive 66/401/EEC, part I, section 2 (A) ('Table'), column 6 ('Analytical purity - Maximum content of seeds of other plant species (% by weight) - A single species'), after '1,0' given for Alopecurus pratensis, '(f)' is added.
Member States shall take the measures necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 1 January 1990. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 of 28 June 1996 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1110/2003(4), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
Whereas:

However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.
(2) Pursuant to Article 10(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, the cif import prices are calculated on the basis of the representative prices for the product in question on the world market.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 lays down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards import duties in the cereals sector.
(4) The import duties are applicable until new duties are fixed and enter into force. They also remain in force in cases where no quotation is available for the reference exchange referred to in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 during the two weeks preceding the next periodical fixing.
(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the representative market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
(6) Application of Regulation (EC) No 1249/96 results in import duties being fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation,
The import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information given in Annex II.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 July 2007
terminating the anti-subsidy proceeding concerning imports of dihydromyrcenol originating in India
(2007/535/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 of 6 October 1997 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A.   PROCEDURE
(1) On 11 November 2006, the Commission announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
 (2) (notice of initiation), the initiation of an anti-subsidy proceeding concerning imports into the Community of dihydromyrcenol of a purity by weight of 93 % or more, originating in India, normally declared within CN code ex 2905 22 90.
(2) The anti-subsidy proceeding was initiated, pursuant to Article 10 of the basic Regulation, following a complaint lodged on 29 September 2006 by the following Community producers: Destilaciones Bordas Chinchurreta S.A. and Sensient Fragrances S.A. (the complainants) representing a major proportion, in this case more than 25 %, of the total Community production of dihydromyrcenol. The complaint contained prima facie evidence of the existence of subsidisation of the said product and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding.
(3) The Commission officially advised the authorities of India, the exporting producers in India, importers and users known to be concerned and their associations, and the complainants of the initiation of the investigation. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.
B.   WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT
(4) By a letter of 25 May 2007 to the Commission, the complainants formally withdrew their complaint.
(5) In accordance with Article 14(1) of the basic Regulation, the proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn unless such termination would not be in the Community interest.
(6) The Commission considered that the present proceeding should be terminated since the investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Community interest. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. No objections were raised.
(7) Given the above, the Commission concludes that the anti-subsidy proceeding concerning imports into the Community of dihydromyrcenol originating in India should be terminated without the imposition of countervailing measures,
The anti-subsidy proceeding concerning imports of dihydromyrcenol of a purity by weight of 93 % or more, falling under CN code ex 2905 22 90 and originating in India is hereby terminated.
