COMMISSION DECISION of 23 December 1992 on the regionalization plan submitted by Portugal under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (Only the Portuguese text is authentic)
(93/121/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas on 31 July 1992 Portugal submitted a regionalization plan to the Commission in accordance with Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92; whereas, at the Commission's request, that plan has been revised by Portugal; whereas a new plan was  forwarded to the Commission on 30 September;
Whereas an examination of the revised plan shows that the criteria adopted by Portugal result in the allocation of a specific yield to each holding on the basis of the soil found thereon in regions in the southern part of the country in accordance with  a pre-established national classification of soils; whereas, in addition, that plan distinguishes between yields depending on the irrigation technique used; whereas as a consequence the plan does not result in the establishment of distinctive  homogeneous production zones of a minimum size and a single yield for irrigated land in the regions in question; whereas it therefore does not meet the criteria laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92;
Whereas by taking into account the situation of the various holdings, the plan is likely to facilitate the adaptation of Portuguese agriculture to the situation arising from the reform of the common agricultural policy; whereas its application for the  1993/94 marketing year should therefore be permitted;
Whereas the other aspects of the plan do not at this stage call for special remarks;
Whereas the joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
1. By way of a transitional measure, for the 1993/94 marketing year Portugal may treat as a homogeneous production zone holdings in the southern regions of Portugal whose specific structural characteristics are defined on the basis of a  pre-established national classification of soils as provided for in the plan notified to the Commission on 30 September 1992.
2. For the 1994/95 marketing year the Portuguese Republic shall submit before 30 April 1993 a plan revising the methods provided for in paragraph 1 in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92.
The Community shall not be liable financially where expenditure exceeds that arising from the application of this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 April 2007
amending Decision 2006/502/EC requiring Member States to take measures to ensure that only lighters which are child-resistant are placed on the market and to prohibit the placing on the market of novelty lighters
(notified under document number C(2007) 1567)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/231/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 December 2001 on general product safety (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2006/502/EC (2) requires Member States to take measures to ensure that only lighters which are child-resistant are placed on the market and to prohibit the placing on the market of novelty lighters.
(2) Decision 2006/502/EC applies only for 12 months from the date of notification. The Decision may however be confirmed for additional periods in accordance with Article 13(2) of Directive 2001/95/EC.
(3) In the light of the experience acquired so far and the absence of a permanent Community act on the safety of lighters, it is necessary to confirm the validity of the Decision for a further 12 months.
(4) Decision 2006/502/EC bans the placing on the market of non-child-resistant lighters and novelty lighters as of 11 March 2007. After that date, however, non-child-resistant lighters and novelty lighters may still be supplied to consumers until stocks are exhausted. Since non-child-resistant lighters and novelty lighters pose a serious risk, the supply of such lighters to consumers should be prohibited.
(5) The shortest possible transitional periods should be allowed for the application of the measures established by this Decision, consistent with the need to prevent further accidents while taking into account technical constraints and ensuring proportionality. Transitional periods are also required for the Member States to ensure that the measures are efficiently applied. Consequently, the ban on supplying non-child-resistant lighters and novelty lighters to consumers should apply one year after the date of application of the ban on placing such products on the market.
(6) It is therefore necessary to amend Decision 2006/502/EC accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Directive 2001/95/EC,
Decision 2006/502/EC is amended as follows:
1. In Article 2 the following paragraphs 3 and 4 are added:
2. In Article 6, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
Member States shall take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision by 11 May 2007 at the latest and shall publish those measures. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
