of 1 June 2011
on the mechanism for the allocation of quantities of controlled substances allowed for laboratory and analytical uses in the Union under Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on substances that deplete the ozone layer
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 10(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The mechanism for the allocation of quantities of controlled substances allowed for laboratory and analytical uses should ensure that the quantity annually authorised under licences for individual producers and importers does not exceed 130 % of the annual average of the calculated level of controlled substances licensed for the producer or importer for essential laboratory and analytical uses in the years 2007 to 2009 and that the total quantity annually authorised under licences, including licences for hydrochlorofluorocarbons under Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009, shall not exceed 110 ozone-depleting potential (hereinafter ‘ODP’) tonnes.
(2) The total quantities of controlled substances allowed for laboratory and analytical uses for the undertakings which produced or imported under license in the years 2007 to 2009 cannot exceed 77 243,181 ODP kilograms, being calculated on the basis of the licensed production and imports in the reference period.
(3) The difference to the maximum quantity of 110 ODP tonnes (32 756,819 ODP kilograms), as well as the quantities for which no declarations have been submitted by the undertakings which produced or imported under licence in the years 2007 to 2009, should be allocated to undertakings for which no production or import licences were issued in the reference period 2007 to 2009. The allocation mechanism should ensure that all undertakings requesting a new quota receive an appropriate share of the quantities to be allocated.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009,
The quotas for controlled substances for laboratory and analytical uses shall be allocated to producers and importers to which no production or import license was issued in the years 2007 to 2009 in accordance with the mechanism set out in the Annex.
This Regulation shall apply from 1 January 2011.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2120/92  of 20 July 1992  amending, for the 13th time, Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 of 25 January 1983 establishing a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources (1), as amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 11  thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas whiting may be caught with mesh sizes in derogation from Community regulations;
Whereas the conditions under which whiting may be harvested should therefore be specified, so as to prevent this activity from involving the additional risk of threatening, through excessive harvesting, the reconstitution of populations already  considered as endangered;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 (2) was intended to have been reviewed during the first half of 1992; whereas new information has been brought to the attention of the Commission;
Whereas the required scientific analyses should nevertheless be completed and the adoption of a permanent redefinition of the conditions under which this fishery may be conducted would therefore be premature;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 should consequently be amended adequately,
In Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86, the data and fishing conditions specified for whiting (Merlangius merlangus) within regions 1 and 2, 'Entire region except Skagerrak and Kattegat', shall be replaced by those contained in the  Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
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,

Commission Decision
of 4 September 2003
on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20(2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards kits for exterior wall claddings
(notified under document number C(2003) 3160)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2003/640/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products(1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC(2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission is required to select, of the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety. This means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required.
(2) Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined shall be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications. It is therefore desirable to identify the products or family of products referred to in the technical specifications.
(3) The two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC. It is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures shall be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems.
(4) The procedure referred to in Article 13(3)(a) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of section 2(ii) of Annex III. The procedure referred to in Article 13(3)(b) corresponds to the systems set out in section 2(i) of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of section 2(ii) of Annex III.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex II shall be indicated in the mandates for guidelines for European technical approvals.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas, therefore, the aid for the purchase of butter as provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2191/81 should be adapted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
In Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2191/81, 'ECU 138' is hereby replaced by 'ECU 130'.

(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
Article 89 of Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 is replaced by the following:
‘Article 89
For a period ending on 30 June 2015, pending the setting up of the adequate analytical equipment, Croatia shall send its wine samples to the JRC for analysis.
Croatia may designate a competent body authorised to have access to the information on samples on its territory.’
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force subject to and on the date of the entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Croatia.
It shall expire on 30 June 2015.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
