Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Additional Protocol to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia establishing new trade arrangements (3) concluded consequent to the accession of Spain and Portugal lays down that Yugoslavia is to benefit from preferential arrangements as regards importation into the Community of processed products obtained from sour cherries falling within CN codes ex 0811 90 10, ex 0811 90 30, ex 0811 90 90, ex 0812 10 00, 2008 60 51, 2008 60 61, 2008 60 71 and 2008 60 91 for a maximum annual volume of 19 900 tonnes and that, where the quantities specified are exceeded, the Community reserves the right to suspend the issue of import licences for the said products;
Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1201/88 (4) lays down that the Commission is to suspend the issue of import licences as soon as the volume of imports exceeds 19 900 tonnes in a given calendar year; whereas experience shows that the mechanism should be administered with a certain amount of flexibility, taking into account the situation on the Community market; whereas Article 4 should be amended accordingly,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The additive monensin sodium (Elancoban G100, Elancoban 100, Elancogran 100, Elancoban G200, Elancoban 200) was authorised under certain conditions in accordance with Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2). Commission Regulation (EC) No 1356/2004 (3) authorised that additive for ten years for use for chickens for fattening, chickens reared for laying and turkeys, linking the authorisation to the person responsible for putting that additive into circulation. That additive was notified as an existing product in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. Since all the information required under that provision was submitted, that additive was entered into the Community Register of Feed Additives.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the possibility to modify the authorisation of an additive further to a request from the holder of the authorisation and an opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’).
(3) The holder of the authorisation of the additive monensin sodium (Elancoban G100, Elancoban 100, Elancogran 100, Elancoban G200, Elancoban 200) has submitted an application with which it proposes changing the terms of the authorisation by reducing the withdrawal period before slaughter.
(4) In its opinion adopted on 18 June 2008 (4), the Authority concluded, after re-assessing human exposure, that a one-day withdrawal time for Elancoban G100, Elancoban 100, Elancogran 100, Elancoban G200 and Elancoban 200 for chickens for fattening, chickens reared for laying and turkeys could be set.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1356/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(1) The European Union's objective is, inter alia, to provide citizens with a high level of safety within an area of freedom, security and justice by developing common action among the Member States in the field of police cooperation.
(2) On 25 April 2002, the Council adopted Decision 2002/348/JHA (3) which established national football information points in each Member State as the designated point for sharing police information in respect of football matches with an international dimension. That Decision sets out the tasks and procedures to be adopted by each national football information point.
(3) Decision 2002/348/JHA should be revised and updated in the light of experience in recent years, such as the European Championships in 2004 and the experts' assessment of international police cooperation in the framework of that championship and extensive police cooperation in respect of international and club matches in Europe generally. In recent years, the number of supporters travelling to matches abroad continues to grow. Therefore, it is necessary for the competent bodies to strengthen their cooperation and to put the exchange of information on a professional footing in order to prevent disturbances to law and order and to allow every Member State to make an efficient risk assessment. The proposed amendments are the results of gathered experiences from several national football information points in their daily work and should enable them to work in a more structured and professional way, ensuring the exchange of high quality information.
(4) The amendments are without prejudice to existing national provisions, in particular the divisions of responsibilities among the different authorities and services in the Member States concerned, and to the exercise by the Commission of its powers under the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Decision 2002/348/JHA is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 2 shall be amended as follows:
(a) [Not applicable to the English language version];
