of 25 April 2014
amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and the protection of geographical indications of spirit drinks
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2008 on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and the protection of geographical indications of spirit drinks (1), and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 provides that the spirit drinks of the category 16 ‘Spirit (preceded by the name of the fruit) obtained by maceration and distillation’ can be obtained from the maceration and distillation of fruits or berries listed therein. In some Member States, this type of spirit drink is traditionally produced also with other fruits, which are not included in that list. Therefore the list of fruits or berries used for the production of spirit drinks under that category should be extended.
(2) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 provides that the spirit drinks of the category 24 ‘Akvavit or aquavit’ are caraway and/or dillseed-flavoured spirit drinks flavoured with a distillate of plants or spices. Those spirit drinks are traditionally produced by using ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin. The current category of spirit drink ‘Akvavit or aquavit’ does not specify the obligation to use ethyl alcohol. However, using ethyl alcohol in the production of ‘Akvavit or aquavit’ is essential to ensure the quality of the product.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Spirit Drinks,
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of 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.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 3 June 2010
amending Decision 2008/721/EC as regards indemnities paid to members of scientific committees and experts in the field of consumer safety, public health and the environment
(2010/309/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 168 and 169 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 19 of Commission Decision 2008/721/EC of 5 September 2008 setting up an advisory structure of Scientific Committees and experts in the field of consumer safety, public health and the environment and repealing Decision 2004/210/EC (1) states that members of the Scientific Committees, scientific advisors from the Pool of Scientific Advisors on Risk Assessment (hereinafter the Pool) and external experts are entitled to an indemnity for their participation in the meetings of the committees, thematic workshops, working groups and other meetings and events organised by the Commission, and for serving as Rapporteur on a specific question.
(2) Annex III to Decision 2008/721/EC, sets down the amounts of indemnities to be paid to the members of the Scientific Committees, scientific advisors of the Pool and external experts.
(3) Currently the indemnities for participation in meetings can only be paid to experts physically present in those meetings. Modern technologies allow the exchange of expert opinions in virtual meetings using audio or video devices or online applications. The use of these tools would allow wider participation of experts in the activities of the Scientific Committees while minimising the environmental impact and costs and reduce expert time needed for travelling.
(4) In the case of participation from a distance by electronic means, the amount of the indemnity should be related to the duration of the meeting (short attendance, full day or only morning or afternoon meeting).
(5) It is therefore necessary to adjust the rules for the payment of participation indemnities to members, advisors and external experts. Article 19 and Annex III to Decision 2008/721/EC should be amended accordingly,
Decision 2008/721/EC is amended as follows:
1. in Article 19, the first paragraph is replaced by the following:
2. Annex III is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Whereas Article 3 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3477/92 of 1 December 1992 laying down detailed rules for the application of the raw tobacco quota system for the 1993 and 1994 harvests (2) provides that the Member States shall set processing  quotas for each processor by 15 January 1993, for the 1993 harvest, at the latest; whereas it has proved necessary, for administrative reasons, to put back that date;
Whereas the allocation of cultivation certificates by processors to producers located in another Member State may involve the former in complex and lengthy operations; whereas it is possible to simplify the procedure by providing for the allocation of  quotas by the Member State of production, where that Member State has opted for the allocation of quotas direct to producers;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
Regulation (EEC) No 3477/92 is amended as follows:
1. In Article 3 (1), '15 January 1993' is replaced by '10 February 1993'.
2. Article 8 is amended as follows:
(a) In paragraph 1, the term 'processing quotas' is replaced by 'quotas'.
(b) The second subparagraph subparagraph of paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:
'Where the Member State of production has decided to allocate the quotas direct to producers, it shall allocate a corresponding amount of its specific guarantee threshold to producers who have supplied tobacco to processors located in another Member  State.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION  DECISION
of 24 May 1983
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Reactor - Pneumatic Transfer System, model Flexo-Rabbit' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(83/272/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 18 November 1982, Belgium has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Reactor - Pneumatic Transfer System, model Flexo-Rabbit', ordered on 7 September 1981 and intended to be used for handling samples in which the radioactivity decays rapidly after they have ceased to be irradiated, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 25 April 1983 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a transport system;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,
The apparatus described as 'Reactor - Pneumatic Transfer System, model Flexo-Rabbit', which is the subject of an application by Belgium of 18 November 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas, in the light of the most recent information available to the Commission on the trade practices followed by the importing countries concerned and the official nature of the agencies in question, this Regulation should be amended;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas, when the basic price for slaughtered pigs is fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the contribution which the Community desires to make to the harmonious development of world trade; whereas  the objectives of the common agricultural policy are in particular to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to ensure that supplies are available and that they reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the basic price must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 for a standard quality defined by reference to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 of 13 November 1984 determining the  Community scale for grading pig carcases (6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3530/86 (7);

the basic price and the standard quality for slaughtered pigs for the period 1 July 1988 to 31 October 1989 should in consequence be repealed;
