COUNCIL  DIRECTIVE
of 8 July 1985
amending Directive 77/780/EEC on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions
(85/345/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 57 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the first subparagraph of Article 3 (3) (b) of Directive 77/780/EEC (3) provides that where the laws, regulations or administrative provisions of a Member State provide, at the time of notification of the Directive, that the economic needs of the market shall be a condition of authorization for the setting up of new credit institutions and the opening of branches of credit institutions the head of which is in the territory of such Member State or in the territory of another Member State, the State in question may continue to apply that criterion for seven years after notification;
Whereas, since the 1979 Act of Accession contains no provision relating to economic need in the banking sector, the various notification deadlines laid down in Directive 77/780/EEC were therefore also applicable to the Hellenic Republic;
Whereas, by virtue of Article 143 of the 1979 Act of Accession and of the second subparagraph of Article 3 (3) (b) of Directive 77/780/EEC, the Hellenic Republic had until 30 June 1981 to notify the Commission of its intention to maintain the criteria of economic need;
Whereas by 30 June 1981 the Commission had received no such notification;
Whereas in November 1981 the Greek Government expressed its intention of maintaining the criterion of economic need for the setting up of new credit institutions and for the opening of branches of credit institutions the head offices of which are either in Greece or in another Member State;
Whreas there is a justified case for the maintenance of the criterion of economic need, given the structural problems facing the Greek banking industry; whereas it is necessary to amend Directive 77/780/EEC as a result,
The following subparagraphs are hereby added to Article 3 (3) (b) of Directive 77/780/EEC:
'The Hellenic Republic may continue to apply the criterion of economic need. On a request from the Hellenic Republic, the Commission shall, if appropriate, submit to the Council by 15 June 1989 proposals authorizing the Hellenic Republic to continue to apply the criterion of economic need until 15 December 1992.
The Council shall act within six months of the submission of those proposals.'
1. The Member States shall take the measures necessary for them to comply with this Directive as from its notification (1). They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
2. The Member States shall communicate to the Commission the provisions of national law they adopt in the field governed by this Directive. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Directive 96/48/EC of 23 July 1996 on the interoperability of the trans-European high-speed rail system(1), and in particular Article 21 thereof,
(1) Whereas, the problem of the frequency and of the radiation intensity of the spot ground-to-train transmission interface, known as Eurobalise, was raised by Sweden at the meeting held on 10 July 1997 of the Committee set up under Article 21 of Directive 96/48/EC;
(2) Whereas, the European Association for Railway Interoperability (AEIF) confirmed, during the session held on 16 October 1997, that the Eurobalise interface is a basic parameter for the command-and-control and signalling subsystem;
(3) Whereas the AEIF presented an analysis at the Committee meeting held on 19 February 1998 and several Member States requested that the situation be summed up in terms of all of the radio frequencies needed for the command-and-control and signalling subsystem;
(4) Whereas there is a need to avoid any interference with the frequency band for the ECPT PR 27 radio equipment (see ERC Decision of 7 March 1996), while at the same time retaining the same level of telepowering;
(5) Whereas there is an urgent need to lay down the value for the Eurobalise spot interface and the GSM-R ground-to-train radio in order not to jeopardise the planning of ERTMS project tests, which in turn would cause delays that would adversely affect the placing in service of several lines within the trans-European high-speed network;
(6) Whereas this Decision has no impact on signalling systems already in service, provided that they have not been brought back into service following a reorganisation; whereas the AEIF will have to take account of the existing system when drafting the "command-and-control and signalling" technical specification for interoperability (TSI);
(7) Whereas Recommendation T/R 25-09 E (Chester 1990, revised at Budapest 1995) related to reserved railway frequencies in the 900 MHz band; whereas the decision by the ECPT Working Group on FM related to Eurobalise (Tallinn 1998) and the updating of Recommandation 70/03 resulting therefrom;
(8) Whereas the provisions of this Decision are in keeping with the opinion of the Committee on Directive 96/48/EC,
The frequency used to telepower (downlink) Eurobalise-type beacons shall be 27095 MHz and the radiation intensity at 10 metres shall be less than 42 dBÎźA/m.
The frequency bands used for GSM-R radio links shall be 876-880 MHz for the train-to-ground link and 921/925 MHz for the ground-to-train link.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Article 20 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 lays down that appropriate measures may be applied if, by reason of imports from third countries, the Community market in the products referred to in Article 1 of the said Regulation is threatened with serious disturbances; whereas the ending of the application of these measures is determined by the cessation of the threat of disturbance;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2748/75 (3), laid down the type of measures that may be taken and the conditions for applying Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75;
Whereas, at the present moment, very large quantities of sweet potatoes, far in excess of the traditional volume of imports of these products into the Community, have been recorded;
Whereas sweet potatoes are a substitute for feed grain; whereas, in the light of the current situation on the market in cereals, the major growth in such imports could cause serious disturbances on this market which may endanger the objective set out in Article 39 of the EEC Treaty; whereas, under such circumstances, protective measures in respect of imports of these products should be taken by suspending the issue of import licences for as long as is required by the situation on the market in the products in question,
The issue of import licences within the meaning of Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 shall be suspended for sweet potatoes falling within subheading 07.06 B of the Common Customs Tariff.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the Europan Communities.

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member  State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of haddock in the waters of ICES divisions Vb (EC zone), VI, XII, XIV by vessels flying the flag of Belgium or registered in Belgium have reached the quota allocated for 1991;  whereas Belgium has prohibited fishing for this stocks as from 22 September 1991; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
