THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1);
Whereas the Standing Veterinary Committee, established by Decision No 68/361/EEC (2), expresses its Opinion in accordance with procedures, the validity of which was limited to a period of 30 months from the date on which a request for an Opinion is first referred to the said Committee;
Whereas a matter was first referred to the Committee on 22 December 1972 ; whereas the period which has elapsed is insufficient to enable a final decision to be reached, and whereas the validity of the aforementioned procedures should only be extended temporarily;
In the following Articles, the term "30 months" is replaced by "102 months":    - Article 14 of Council Directive No 64/432/EEC (3) of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine, as last amended by Council Directive No 74/387/EEC (4);

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1713/2001
of 30 August 2001
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 August 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 39/1999 of 8 January 1999 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 laying down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 923/96 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2193/96 (4), lays down the procedure and conditions for the sale of cereals held by intervention agencies;
Whereas transport costs vary considerably with time and some of those costs cannot be predicted, in particular where river transport is concerned; whereas for budget reasons a maximum amount should be set for such costs; whereas that amount must be set by the intervention agencies and quoted in the call for tenders;
Whereas the Slovenian port of Koper was the traditional port of exit for Austria before its accession to the European Union; whereas it is therefore necessary to include Koper as a place of exit for Community cereals so that transport costs can be reimbursed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
In Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2131/93, paragraph 2a is replaced by the following:
'2a. However, where Member States have no sea ports, provision may be made to derogate from the preceding paragraph and to provide, in the case of export from a sea port, for the financing of the lowest transport costs between the place of storage and the actual place of exit, within the maximum amounts indicated in the call for tenders. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Slovenian port of Koper may be regarded as a place of exit.`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following 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.

concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific Community provisions, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.
(3) Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column 1 of the table set out in the Annex to this Regulation should be classified under the CN codes indicated in column 2, by virtue of the reasons set out in column 3 of that table.
(4) It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information which has been issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature but which is not in accordance with this Regulation can, for a period of three months, continue to be invoked by the holder, under Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (2).
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
The goods described in column 1 of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN codes indicated in column 2 of that table.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th 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.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 275/2008
of 17 March 2008
amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Section IID of the preliminary provisions of the combined nomenclature set out in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1) provides for a standard rate of customs duty to be charged at the flat rate of 3,5 % ad valorem on goods sent in small consignments to private individuals or contained in travellers’ personal luggage, provided that such importations are not of a commercial nature and that the total value of such goods does not exceed EUR 350 per consignment or per traveller.
(2) The flat rate of 3,5 % ad valorem and the ceiling of EUR 350 have been fixed by Council Regulation (EC) No 866/97 of 12 May 1997 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 as regards the preliminary provisions of the tariff and statistical nomenclature (2). These provisions have not been adjusted since then.
(3) Since 1997 the rates of customs duty for goods normally imported by travellers in their personal luggage or sent in small consignments to private individuals have been reduced by about 20 %. It is therefore appropriate to reduce the standard rate by one percentage point to 2,5 %. This rate should only be applied to imported goods for which the rate of the Common Customs Tariff is not ‘free’.
(4) Given the development of price inflation inside and outside the Community for products normally imported on the said occasions and in view of the increased number of travellers and private consignments it is appropriate to adapt the ceiling to EUR 700 in order to facilitate the customs clearance in these situations.
(5) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex I, Part One, Section II, to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 shall be amended as follows:
1. point D.1. shall be replaced by the following:
‘1. Customs duty shall be charged at the flat rate of 2,5 % ad valorem on goods contained in consignments sent by one private individual to another, or contained in travellers’ personal luggage, provided that such importations are not of a commercial nature.
2. in point D.3. ‘Articles 29 to 31 and 45 to 49 of Regulation (EEC) No 918/83.’ shall be replaced by ‘Articles 29 to 31 and 45 of Regulation (EEC) No 918/83.’;
3. in point D.4. ‘EUR 350’ shall be replaced by ‘EUR 700’;
4. in point D.5. ‘EUR 350’ shall be replaced by ‘EUR 700’.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 December 2008.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
