authorising the Republic of Austria to apply a measure derogating from Article 17 of the Sixth Directive (77/388/EEC) on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes
(2004/866/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive (77/388/EEC) of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes — common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1), and in particular Article 27(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) By letter registered at the Commission's Secretariat-General on 12 December 2003, the Austrian authorities requested authorisation to apply a special measure derogating from Article 17 of Directive 77/388/EEC.
(2) The other Member States were informed of this request on 26 March 2004.
(3) The derogating measure is intended completely to exclude the value-added tax (VAT) which is charged on expenditure on goods and services from the right to deduct when over 90 % of the goods and services are used for the private purposes of the taxable person, or of his employees, or, more generally, for non-business purposes. This derogating measure represents a derogation from Article 17 and is justified by the need to simplify the levying of VAT.
(4) The duration of the authorisation should be limited to 31 December 2009. This maximum period will allow an evaluation to be made of the advisability of maintaining the derogating measure in the light of Austria's experience over this period.
(5) The derogating measure would have no negative effect on the Community's own resources from VAT,
By way of derogation from Article 17(2) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the Republic of Austria is hereby authorised to exclude expenditure on goods and services from the right to deduct VAT when over 90 % of the goods and services are used for the private purposes of a taxable person, or of his employees, or, more generally, for non-business purposes.
This Decision shall apply until 31 December 2009.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Austria.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 (2) opened annual tariff quotas for imports of poultrymeat products.
(2) For some quotas, the quantities covered by the applications for import licences lodged from 1 to 7 December 2014 for the subperiod from 1 January to 31 March 2015 exceed those available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested, calculated in accordance with Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (3).

Whereas the present situation and the outlook on the Community market for seeds listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 that will be sold during the 1994/95 and 1995/96 marketing years do not offer the assurance of a fair return to producers;  whereas part of their costs should therefore be met by the granting of aid;
Whereas Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 provides that the aid shall be fixed, taking into account, on the one hand, the need to ensure a balance between the volume of production required in the Community and the possible outlets for that  production and, on the other hand, the prices of the products on external markets;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

(1) Whereas, in order to ensure normal supplies to the Community as a whole or to one of its areas, there is a standing obligation in the European territorites of the Community for minimum stocks to be maintained by each sugar-producing undertaking or sugar refinery;

(3) Whereas, under Article 12(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81, this percentage may be reduced; whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1789/81 lays down that, where the supplies of sugar required by the Community can no longer be ensured under normal conditions provision may be made for the undertaking concerned to be released, in whole or in part, from the obligation to stock the sugar in question; whereas this percentage has already been brought down to 3 % by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1436/96(5);
(4) Whereas the sugarbeet production regions of Greece have been affected by adverse weather conditions which have delayed the harvest in the new 1999/2000 marketing year; whereas a temporary deficit therefore exists in those regions for supplies during the carryover period of August and September 1999;
(5) Whereas in order to ensure supplies under normal conditions and in view of the urgency, the minimum stocks maintained by the sugar undertaking established in Greece should be released by reducing to zero the percentage applicable to that undertaking for the period pending the new production for the 1999/2000 marketing year;
(6) Whereas the Management Committee for Sugar has not delivered an opinion within the limit set by its Chairman,
1. By derogation from Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1436/96, for the period 1 August to 30 September 1999 the percentages referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation are hereby reduced to 0 % for the sugar undertaking established in Greece.
