COMMISSION DECISION of 10 July 1996 concerning a derogation from the provisions of Annex III of Council Directive 91/439/EEC (Text with EEA relevance) (96/427/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/439/EEC of 29 July 1991 on driving licences (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas Article 7 (3) stipulates that Member States may, with the agreement of the Commission, derogate from the provisions of Annex III concerning minimum standards of physical and mental fitness for driving of power-driven vehicles;
Whereas such derogations must be compatible with the development of medical science and with the principles laid down in Annex III;
Whereas Annex III, item 6.3 specifies that applicants for a driving licence or for the renewal of such a licence must have a visual acuity, with corrective lenses if necessary, of at least 0,8 in the better eye and at least 0,5 in the worse eye;
Whereas, if corrective lenses are used to attain the values of 0,8 and 0,5, the uncorrected acuity in each eye must reach 0,05, or else the minimum acuity (0,8 and 0,5) must be achieved either by correction by means of glasses with a power not exceeding plus or minus four dioptres or with the aid of contact lenses (uncorrected vision = 0,05) and the correction must be well tolerated;
Whereas item 6.3 furthermore specifies that driving licences shall not be issued to or renewed for applications or drivers without a normal binocular field of vision or suffering from diplopia;
Whereas in accordance with item 6.3 of Annex III the maximum allowed strength for glasses of group 2 drivers has to be plus or minus 4 dioptres, notably because of distortion of the field of vision if stronger glasses had to be used; whereas, however, application of modern techniques and materials has made it possible to now produce glasses up to plus or minus 8 dioptres without such distortion;
Whereas, therefore, following the request of several Member States, the Commission considers that the developments of medical science justify a derogation to the provision of item 6.3 of Annex III of the Directive as for the number of dioptres for glasses of drivers of group 2,
Member States may allow a value of plus or minus 8 dioptres instead of plus or minus 4 dioptres when the minimum acuity of 0,8 and 0,5 is achieved by correction by means of glasses.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
This Decision applies as from three days after the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 285/2004
of 18 February 2004
amending Regulation (EC) No 1306/2003 as regards the time limit for the removal of alcohol
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), and in particular Article 33(1)(f) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1306/2003 of 23 July 2003 opening public sales of wine alcohol for use as bioethanol in the European Community(2) has opened a public sale of wine alcohol for use as bioethanol in the Community. As a result, lots 22/2003 EC, 23/2003 EC, 24/2003 EC and 25/2003 EC, respectively comprising 260000 hectolitres, 350000 hectolitres, 50000 hectolitres and 29000 hectolitres of alcohol at 100 % vol., were respectively put up for sale to the following approved firms: Ecocarburantes espaĂąoles SA, Bioethanol Galicia SA, Sekab and Altia Corporation. On 5 September 2003 the Commission notified the competent authorities and firms concerned of the decisions regarding the award of these lots.
(2) Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1306/2003 stipulates that the alcohol must be removed no more than eight months after the date of notification of the Commission's decision to award the sale.
(3) Because of the technical difficulties involved in moving alcohol and the very large volumes in lots 22/2003 EC and 23/2003 EC, awarded to the two Spanish firms, the time limit for removing the alcohol is not long enough for those firms.
(4) In order to allow the firms concerned to remove the alcohol within a reasonable time frame and to avoid discriminating between these various firms, the time limit for removing the alcohol should be extended by two months.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1306/2003 should therefore be amended.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wines,
Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1306/2003 is hereby replaced by the following:
"Article 6
The alcohol must be removed no more than 10 months after the date of notification of the Commission's decision to award the sale."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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.
