Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3(1) and (2) of Protocol No 1 (3) to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Tunisia, of the other part (4), opens a tariff quota at a zero rate of duty for imports of untreated olive oil falling within CN codes 1509 10 10 and 1509 10 90, wholly obtained in Tunisia and transported direct from that country to the European Union, up to the limit laid down for each year.
(2) Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006 of 20 December 2006 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quota for olive oil originating in Tunisia (5) lays down monthly quantitative limits for the issue of import licences.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1801/2003
of 14 October 2003
provisionally authorising the new use of a certain micro-organism in feedingstuffs
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs(1), as last amended by Commission Directive 2003/7/EC(2), and in particular Article 3 and Article 9e(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 70/524/EEC requires that no additive may be put into circulation unless a Community authorisation has been granted.
(2) In the case of additives referred to in Part II of Annex C to Directive 70/524/EEC, which include micro-organisms, provisional authorisation of a new use of an additive in feedingstuffs may be given if the conditions laid down that Directive are satisfied and, if it is reasonable to assume, in view of the available results, that when used in animal nutrition, it has one of the effects referred to in Article 2(a) of that Directive. Such provisional authorisation may be given for a period not exceeding four years.
(3) This additive has already been authorised by Commission Regulation No 1411/1999/EC(3) for piglets, and by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1636/1999(4) for calves and chickens for fattening.
(4) New data were submitted in support of an application to extend the authorisation of the use to turkeys for fattening.
(5) The assessment of the application for authorisation submitted in respect of the micro-organism specified in the Annex to this Regulation, shows that the conditions referred to in Article 9e(1) of Directive 70/524/EEC are satisfied.
(6) The use of the Enterococcus faecium, specified in the Annex, should therefore be authorised on a provisional basis for a period of four years and be included in Chapter IV of the list of authorised additives.
(7) The Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition has delivered a favourable opinion on the safety of the use of that Enterococcus faecium, which is to be used in feedingstuffs for turkeys, under the conditions set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
(8) The assessment of the application shows that certain procedures are required to protect workers from exposure to the additives set out in the Annex. However, such protection is assured by the application of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work(5).
(9) 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 additive belonging to the group "Micro-organisms" referred to in the Annex is authorised for use as an additive in feedingstuffs under the conditions laid down in the Annex.
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 21 February 2002
amending Annex D to Council Directive 90/426/EEC with regard to diagnostic tests for African horse sickness
(notified under document number C(2002) 556)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2002/160/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/426/EEC of 26 June 1990 on animal health conditions governing the movement and import from third countries of equidae(1), as last amended by Decision 2001/298/EC(2), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex D to Directive 90/426/EEC describes the complement fixation test to be carried out for the diagnosis of African horse sickness.
(2) In November 2000 the Community reference laboratory in Algete, Spain, hosted the annual meeting of the national reference laboratories for African horse sickness of EU Member States. During this meeting scientific evidence was presented that the complement fixation test currently described in Annex D to Directive 90/426/EEC has serious limitations in particular because it is only suitable for detecting antibodies after a recent infection or vaccination. Furthermore, the test is in practice replaced by modern ELISA tests in almost all laboratories in the Community and also in major exporting countries.
(3) The internationally accepted laboratory tests for the detection of antibodies against the African horse sickness virus are described in the Manual of Standards for Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines(3) of the Office International des Epizooties (OIE); however, the current edition mentions only one of the ELISA tests available.
(4) Therefore, it appears appropriate to modify Annex D to Directive 90/426/EEC so as to take into account technical developments and internationally approved standards.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Annex D to Directive 90/426/EEC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
