concerning the authorisation of astaxanthin dimethyldisuccinate as a feed additive
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns authorisation of the preparation of astaxanthin dimethyldisuccinate as a feed additive for salmon and trout, to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 17 October 2007 that astaxanthin dimethyldisuccinate does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (2). It further concluded that astaxanthin dimethyldisuccinate does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. It does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post market monitoring. This opinion also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and to the functional group ‘a(ii) Colourants; substances which when fed to animals add colours to food of animal origin’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th 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.

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Whereas Decision 80/739/EEC (4), authorized a second tranche of borrowings for an amount not exceeding the equivalent of a capital sum of 500 million European units of account ; whereas that Decision defined the sectors to which the product of those borrowings might be applied only with respect to an amount equivalent to a capital sum of 400 million European units of account ; whereas, as regards the equivalent of a capital sum of 100 million European units of account, that Decision provided that it might not be borrowed until the adoption of a further decision relating to the purpose for which such borrowing might be used;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to take a decision on the application of that part of the second tranche;
Whereas for that purpose the same sectors should be covered as in Decision 80/739/EEC ; whereas it is therefore advisable, by way of exception, to permit the application of the borrowings in question also to loans intended for the financing of factories constructed with a view to future requirements and of housing, provided that they form part of a total project of economic and industrial development presenting a regional interest,
The product of borrowings of an amount equivalent to a capital sum of 100 million European units of account shall be applied to loans intended for the financing of:    - investment projects as defined in Article 2 of Decision 80/739/EEC,
- factories constructed with a view to future requirements and housing, provided that they form part of a total project of economic and industrial development presenting a regional interest.

Having regard to Council Directive 2001/89/EC of 23 October 2001 on Community measures for the control of classical swine fever (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 19(3),
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2001/89/EC introduces minimum Community measures for the control of classical swine fever.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 638/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on Community statistics relating to trading of goods between Member States and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91 (1) and in particular Articles 9(1) and 10(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 638/2004 established a common framework for the systematic production of Community statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States.
(2) Following technical and economic developments, the established minimum coverage rate for arrivals could be adapted while maintaining statistics which meet the quality indicators and standards in force. This simplification will allow reducing the response burden on the parties responsible for providing statistical information, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises. The coverage rate for arrivals should, therefore, be reduced from 95 % to 93 %.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1982/2004 of 18 November 2004 implementing Regulation (EC) No 638/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on Community statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States and repealing Commission Regulations (EC) No 1901/2000 and (EEC) No 3590/92 (2) lays down the arrangements for the collection of Intrastat information. While Member States have to send Eurostat their monthly results by statistical value, they are limited in the practical arrangements for its collection. An overall coherent approach to the collection of Intrastat information should be provided for and the collection arrangements in terms of the statistical value should be streamlined.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the statistics on the trading of goods between Member States,
In Article 10(3) of Regulation (EC) No 638/2004 ‘95 %’ is replaced by ‘93 %’.

‘2.   Additionally, Member States may also collect the statistical value of the goods, as defined in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 638/2004.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Commission Decision 2006/133/EC of 13 February 2006 requiring Member States temporarily to take additional measures against the dissemination of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle et al.

(2) Portugal has sent a report to the Commission on 11 April 2008 on the finding of new outbreaks of PWN, as a result from an extraordinary investigation by the Portuguese authorities in addition to the annual survey, in the part of Portugal where so far PWN was known not to occur.
(3) The compulsory annual surveys of previous years had not revealed these latest outbreaks of PWN in Portugal. In view of this new outbreak, it is necessary that Portugal carries out immediately an additional risk-based survey in the entire Portuguese territory on the basis of a survey plan approved by the Commission and that it presents the results of that survey to the Commission as soon as they are available.
(4) Based on the experience with the implementation of the existing emergency measures and recent scientific information, it is necessary to take particularly effective measures with respect to outbreaks in areas where so far PWN was known not to occur.
(5) Decision 2006/133/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
