of 18 February 1986
suspending the application of certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1760/83 as regards the payment of refunds in respect of butter exported in the form of certain products not covered by Annex II to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and in particular Article 17 (4) thereof,
Whereas, in order to monitor very closely the trend in butter exports, Article 7 (4), (5) and (6) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1760/83 (3) provides that refunds for zone C 2 are applicable to exports only when made under cover of an export licence with advance fixing of the refund, that the destination shown on the export certificate for that product is compulsory and that, in order to ensure compliance with that destination, payment of part of the refund is dependent on the provision of proof that the product has arrived at the destination;
Whereas experience gained using this system has shown practical difficulties; whereas in certain third countries it is difficult to obtain the necessary documents to provide evidence of actual entry for consumption in those countries; whereas traders are disinclined to export towards such third countries in consequence;
Whereas, in addition, knowledge of the actual destination of the quantities of butter exported is of no importance at present owing to the very slight demand in international trade, in particular from certain importing countries which have purchased substantial quantities in the past; whereas in these circumstances application of the provisions concerned should be suspended while maintaining, nevertheless, the obligation for the exporter to indicate the country of destination in the export licence;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
The application of the provisions of Article 7 (4), (5) and (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1760/83 is hereby suspended.
However, the obligation for licence applications and licences to show in section 13 the third country of destination or the special destination shall continue to apply.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to transactions for which the customs formalities referred to in Article 22 (1) (b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 (4) are completed from 23 December 1985.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 204/90
of 22 January 1990
on agriculture in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Protocol on the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg annexed thereto,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3310/75 of 16 December 1975 on agriculture in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4001/89 (2), and in particular Article 2 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of the Protocol on the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands are to apply the system provided for in the third paragraph of Article 6 of the Convention on the Economic Union of Belgium and Luxembourg of 25 July 1921; whereas the period of application of that system was last extended by Regulation (EEC) No 4001/89; whereas the Council has to decide to what extent those provisions should be maintained, amended or discontinued;
Whereas the application of the said system in favour of Luxembourg wines will continue to be of benefit to the agricultural income of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in the sector concerned;
Whereas, however, the system in question was introduced as a transitory arrangement and must in any case be discontinued with the prospect of the large single market advocated in the Single Act; whereas the provisions for abolishing that system gradually must therefore be adopted as from now,
Regulation (EEC) No 3310/75 is hereby replaced by this Regulation.
The tax exemption in force on 1 January 1989 in respect of wines produced in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of the Protocol on the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, shall be reduced by 33 1 / 3 % from 1 January 1991 and by two successive annual amounts of 33 1 / 3 %, taking effect on 1 January of each of the successive years in such a way that the exemption will be dismantled on 1 January 1993.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1990.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 October 2006
not to publish the reference of standard EN 13683:2003 ‘Garden equipment — Integrally powered shredders/chippers — Safety’ in accordance with Directive 98/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document number C(2006) 5060)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/732/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 98/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to machinery (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Standing Committee established by Article 5 of Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations and of rules on Information Society services (2),
Whereas:
(1) Where a national standard transposing a harmonised standard, the reference of which has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, covers one or more essential health and safety requirements set out in Annex I to Directive 98/37/EC, the machine built in accordance with this standard is presumed to meet the essential requirements concerned.
(2) Pursuant to Article 6(1) of Directive 98/37/EC, Germany lodged a formal objection in respect of standard EN 13683:2003, adopted by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) on 8 September 2003, the reference of which has not yet been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(3) Having examined standard EN 13683:2003, the Commission has established that it fails to meet essential health and safety requirements 1.1.2.(c) (principles of safety integration), 1.3.8 (choice of protection against risks related to moving parts) and 1.4.1 (general requirements for guards and protection devices) of Annex I to Directive 98/37/EC. First, the specifications set out in clauses 5.2.1.1 and 5.2.1.2 of the standard on preventing access to the cutting blade from the feed side and from above are not sufficient to avoid contact with the blade. It is possible to remove jammed cuttings whilst the appliance is running and for the hand to come into contact with the cutting blade in doing so. Second, the specifications set out in clause 5.2.2 of the standard on preventing access to the cutting blade from the discharge chute from below are not sufficient. The dimensions of the discharge chute are such that an adult hand could come into contact with the cutting blade.
(4) The references of standard EN 13683:2003 should therefore not be published in the Official Journal of the European Union,
The references of standard EN 13683:2003 ‘Garden equipment — Integrally powered shredders/chippers — Safety’ shall not be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
