COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 98/52/EC of 13 July 1998 on the extension of Directive 97/80/EC on the burden of proof in cases of discrimination based on sex to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the Council, acting in accordance with the Agreement on social policy annexed to Protocol 14 on social policy annexed to the EC Treaty, and in particular Article 2(2) thereof, adopted Directive 97/80/EC (4); whereas, as a result, the said Directive does not apply to the United Kingdom;
Whereas the Amsterdam European Council, held on 16 and 17 June 1997, noted with approval the agreement of the Intergovernmental Conference to incorporate the Agreement on social policy in the Treaty and also noted that a means had to be found to give legal effect to the wish of the United Kingdom to accept the Directives already adopted on the basis of that Agreement and those which may be adopted before the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam;
Whereas, at the Council of 24 July 1997, the Council and the Commission agreed to put into effect the conclusions adopted at the Amsterdam European Council; whereas they also agreed to apply the same procedure, mutatis mutandis, to future Directives adopted on the basis of the Agreement on social policy; whereas this Directive seeks to achieve this aim by extending Directive 97/80/EC to the United Kingdom;
Whereas the fact that Directive 97/80/EC is not applicable in the United Kingdom directly affects the functioning of the common market; whereas an effective implementation of the principle of equal treatment for men and women, in particular as regards the rules organizing the burden of proof in cases of discrimination based on sex, in all the Member States will improve the functioning of the common market;
Whereas the adoption of this Directive will make Directive 97/80/EC applicable in the United Kingdom; whereas, from the date on which this Directive enters into force, the term 'Member States` in Directive 97/80/EC should be construed as including the United Kingdom;
Whereas the United Kingdom should benefit from the same period of three years that was granted to other Member States to bring into force the necessary provisions to comply with Directive 97/80/EC,
Without prejudice to Article 2, Directive 97/80/EC shall apply to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The following paragraph shall be inserted after the first paragraph of Article 7 of Directive 97/80/EC:
'As regards the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the date of 1 January 2001 in paragraph 1 shall be replaced by 22 July 2001.`
This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION of 18 December 1995 approving the conversion rates mentioned in Article 3 of Decision 95/33/EC (Only the Finnish text is authentic) (96/18/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Act concerning the conditions of accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 138 thereof,
Whereas on 26 October 1994 Finland notified the Commission pursuant to Article 143 of the abovementioned Act, the Finnish programme for the implementation of its Article 138, 139 and 140 aids for a number of products and activities for the period 1995 to 1999 inclusive;
Whereas parts of this programme, as modified by letter dated 16 December 1994 were approved by Commission Decision 95/33/EC (1); whereas that Decision was modified by Decision 95/330/EC (2);
Whereas, with the exception of cow's milk and potatoes for starch production, the part of the programme providing for aid granted in relation to quantities was only accepted on condition that after a first year to allow the smooth introduction of the transitional aid regime, the aids were, by way of appropriate conversion rates, transformed into area or headage payments unrelated to quantities;
Whereas Article 3, point 1 of Decision 95/33/EC provides that Finland shall notify the Commission before 1 November 1995 the conversion rates envisaged to set the amounts on an area or headage livestock unit basis from 1996 to 1999, these conversion rates shall be the subject of a Commission decision taken no later than 1 January 1996;
Whereas on 29 September 1995 Finland notified the Commission pursuant to Article 3, point 1 of Decision 95/33/EC the conversion rates envisaged to set the amounts of certain production aids in Annex I of Decision 95/33/EC;
Whereas these conversion rates to set the amounts of certain production aids reflect the yields and output normally associated with the products concerned in Finland and can therefore be accepted,
The Commission authorizes Finland to apply the conversion rates to set amounts of an area or headage livestock unit basis from 1996 to 1999 as contained in Annex I.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Finland.

prohibiting fishing for ling by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 2340/2002 of 16 December 2002 fixing for 2003 and 2004 the fishing opportunities for deep-sea fish stocks (2) lays down quotas for ling for 2004.
(2) In order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantity limits on catches of stocks subject to quotas, the Commission must fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated.
(3) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of ling in the waters of ICES subarea V (EC waters and waters not subject to the sovereignty or jurisdiction of third countries) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom have exhausted the quota for 2004. Portugal has prohibited fishing for this stock from 12 July 2004. This date should be adopted in this Regulation also,
Catches of ling in the waters of ICES subarea V (EC waters and waters not subject to the sovereignty or jurisdiction of third countries) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom have exhausted the quota allocated to the United Kingdom for 2004.
Fishing for ling in the waters of ICES subarea V (EC waters and waters not subject to the sovereignty or jurisdiction of third countries) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom is hereby prohibited, as are the retention on board, transhipment and landing of this stock caught by the above vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

amending Regulation (EC) No 733/2008 on the conditions governing imports of agricultural products originating in third countries following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 733/2008 of 15 July 2008 (1), which is the codified version of repealed Regulation (EEC) No 737/90 of 22 March 1990 on the conditions governing imports of agricultural products originating in third countries following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station (2), fixed maximum permitted levels of radioactivity for agricultural products originating in third countries and intended for human consumption, with which imports must comply and in connection with which checks are carried out by the Member States. However, Regulation (EC) No 733/2008 expires on 31 March 2010.
(2) Radioactive caesium contamination of certain products originating in the third countries most affected by the Chernobyl accident still exceeds the maximum permitted levels of radioactivity laid down in Regulation (EC) No 733/2008.
(3) There is scientific evidence that the duration of caesium-137 contamination following the Chernobyl accident, for a number of products originating from species living and growing in forests and wooded areas, essentially relates to the physical half-life of that radionuclide, which is 30 years.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 733/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly,
The second paragraph of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 733/2008 shall be replaced by the following:
‘It shall expire:
1. on 31 March 2020, unless the Council decides otherwise at an earlier date, in particular if the list of excluded products referred to in Article 4 covers all the products fit for human consumption to which this Regulation applies;
2. upon the entry into force of the Commission Regulation referred to in Article 2(1) of Regulation (Euratom) No 3954/87, if such entry into force takes place before 31 March 2020.’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2) Pursuant to Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 958/2006 and following an examination of the tenders submitted in response to the partial invitation to tender ending on 28 June 2007, it is appropriate to fix a maximum export refund for that partial invitation to tender.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
For the partial invitation to tender ending on 28 June 2007, the maximum export refund for the product referred to in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 958/2006 shall be 38,107 EUR/100 kg.

amending Decision 84/248/EEC authorizing the Federal Republic of Germany to adopt, when introducing into its territory plants or plant products, special plant health provisions for home-grown production of certain fruit plants intended for planting
(Only the German text is authentic)
(90/111/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/93/EEC of 21 December 1976 on protective measures against the introduction into the Member States of organisms harmful to plants or plant products (1), as last amended by Directive 89/439/EEC (2), and in particular Article 18 (2) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 11 (1) of Directive 77/93/EEC, plants, plant products or other objects are not subject, at the time of their introduction into the territory of a Member State from another Member State, to prohibitions or restrictions relating to plant health measures, except where provided for in that Directive;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 18 (2) of Directive 77/93/EEC, the Member States may be authorized to adopt, when introducing into their territory plants or plant products, special health provisions in so far as such measures are also laid down for home-grown production;
Whereas the Federal Republic of Germany by the 'Verordnung zur Bekaempfung von Viruskrankheiten im Obstbau' of 26 July 1978 (3), as last amended by 'Verordnung' of 1 December 1989 (4), has introduced special health measures for the marketing of certain fruit plants intended for planting;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Decision 84/248/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 2, '31 December 1989' is replaced by '31 December 1990'.

COUNCIL  DECISION
of 23 July 1984
concerning a contribution to the European Coal and Steel Community from the general budget of the European Communities
(84/384/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Whereas, at its meeting on 22 May 1984, the Council confirmed that solid fuels are an essential element of Community energy strategy;
Whereas the Community coal industry is being restructured and modernized;
Whereas this restructuring and modernization will inevitably lead to exceptional job losses; whereas support measures should be envisaged to alleviate the consequences of these job losses; whereas it is therefore necessary to apply Article 56 (2) (b) of the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community;
Whereas, in the present circumstances, the resources provided for by the ECSC Treaty are not sufficient to finance these measures;
Whereas the secondary effects of this situation, if not remedied, would be liable to aggravate considerably the Community's general employment situation and to impair the harmonious development of economic activities, and this would undermine the achievement of one of the Community's main objectives;
Whereas the social measures envisaged will be based, on the one hand, on the number of jobs lost over a given period and, on the other hand, on the level of social expenditure undertaken by each Member State in respect of each job lost;
Whereas an appropriation of 60 million ECU has been entered in Chapter 10 0 of the general budget of the European Communities for 1984,
An exceptional contribution of 60 million ECU is hereby granted to the European Coal and Steel Community, for the financial year 1984, out of the general budget of the European Communities for the same financial year, to ensure Community financing of social measures in favour of the coal industry, in accordance with the relevant Articles of the ECSC Treaty.
