COUNCIL  DIRECTIVE
of 24 July 1990
amending Directive 84/647/EEC on the use of vehicles hired without drivers for the carriage of goods by road
(90/398/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 75 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Whereas Article 8 of Directive 84/647/EEC (4) requires the Council to re-examine Articles 3 (2) and 4 (2) of the abovementioned Directive which contain restrictive clauses;

Whereas the abovementioned Directive should therefore be amended,
Directive 84/647/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 3 (2) is replaced by the following:
'2. Member States may exclude from the provisions of paragraph 1 own-account transport operations carried out by vehicles with a total permissible laden weight of more than 6 tonnes.'
2. Article 4 (2) is deleted.
Member States shall take the measures necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 31 December 1990 and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

amending Annex I to Implementing Decision 2011/402/EU on emergency measures applicable to fenugreek seeds and certain seeds and beans imported from Egypt
(notified under document C(2011) 9524)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2011/880/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1)(b)(i) and (iii) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 lays down the general principles governing food and feed in general, and food and feed safety in particular, at Union and national level. It provides for emergency measures to be taken by the Commission where it is evident that food or feed imported from a third country is likely to constitute a serious risk to human health, animal health or the environment, and that such risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member State(s) concerned.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (2) lays down general rules for food business operators on the hygiene of foodstuffs. Those rules include hygiene requirements to ensure that imported foods are of at least the same hygiene standards as food produced in the Union, or are of an equivalent standard.
(3) Certain lots of fenugreek seeds imported from Egypt have been identified as the causative agent of an outbreak in the Union of Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli bacteria (STEC), serotype O104:H4. The origin of the outbreak was identified as fenugreek seeds from Egypt consumed as sprouts.
(4) Accordingly, Commission Implementing Decision 2011/402/EU (3) introduced a ban on the release for free circulation in the Union of certain seeds and beans imported from Egypt that fall within the CN codes listed in the Annex thereto. That ban expires on 31 March 2012.
(5) However, dried split leguminous vegetables, broken soya beans or broken oil seeds and oleaginous fruits are not used for sprouting purposes. Dried split leguminous vegetables, broken soya beans or broken oil seeds and broken oleaginous fruits imported from Egypt should no longer be considered as a food safety risk and should be reauthorised for import into the Union.
(6) The emergency measures laid down in Implementing Decision 2011/402/EU should therefore be amended on the basis on this new information.
(7) The Annex to Implementing Decision 2011/402/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Implementing Decision 2011/402/EU is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
