COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2205/2004
of 21 December 2004
amending Regulation (EC) No 3199/93 on the mutual recognition of procedures for the complete denaturing of alcohol for the purposes of exemption from excise duty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 92/83/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the harmonisation of the structures of excise duties on alcohol and alcoholic beverages (1), and in particular Article 27(4) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee on Excise Duties,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 27(1)(a) of Directive 92/83/EEC, Member States are required to exempt from excise duty alcohol which has been completely denatured in accordance with the requirements of any Member State, provided that such requirements have been duly notified and accepted in accordance with the conditions laid down in paragraphs 3 and 4 of that Article.
(2) Italy has communicated some changes to the denaturing processes authorised by Commission Regulation (EC) No 3199/93 (2).
(3) The Commission transmitted the said communication to the other Member States on 26 November 2003.
(4) Neither the Commission nor any Member State having requested that the matter be raised in the Council within the time limit prescribed, the Council is deemed, pursuant to Article 27(4) of Directive 92/83/EEC, to have authorised, with effect from 26 January 2004, the changes to the denaturing processes notified by Italy.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 3199/93 should, therefore, be amended accordingly,
The paragraph concerning Italy in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 3199/93 is hereby replaced by the following:
‘Italy
The ethyl alcohol to be denatured must have a ethyl alcohol content of at least 83 % by volume and a strength measured on the EC alcoholmeter of at least 90 % by volume. Per anhydrous hectolitre, add:
(a) 125 grams of thiophene,
(b) 0,8 grams of denatonium benzoate,
(c) 3 grams of CI reactive red 24 (red colorant), solution at 25 % w/w,
(d) 2 litres of methyl ethyl ketone.
In order to ensure the complete solubility of all the components, the denaturant mixture must be prepared in ethyl alcohol below 96 % by volume measured on the EC alcoholmeter.
Denaturation is achieved by the substances listed at points (a), (b) and (d). Thiophene and denatonium benzoate alter the organoleptic characteristics of the product, making ingestion impossible, while methyl ethyl ketone, with a boiling point (79,6 °C) close to that of ethyl alcohol (78,9 °C), is difficult to eliminate except by non-economic techniques. This facilitates checks by the financial authorities to identify possible misuse.
The purpose of CI reactive red 24 is to give the product a characteristic red colour, which makes the purpose of the product immediately identifiable.’
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.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 30 May 2011
extending Decision 2010/371/EU concerning the conclusion of the consultation procedure with the Republic of Madagascar pursuant to Article 96 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement
(2011/324/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 217 thereof,
Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1), as last amended in Ouagadougou on 23 June 2010 (2) (‘the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement’), and in particular Article 96 thereof,
Having regard to the Internal Agreement between the representatives of the governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council, on measures to be taken and procedures to be followed for the implementation of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement (3), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The essential elements referred to in Article 9 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement have been violated.
(2) On 6 July 2009, pursuant to Article 96 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, consultations were opened with Madagascar in the presence of representatives of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (‘ACP’) Group of States, during which representatives of the High Transitional Authority failed to present satisfactory proposals or undertakings.
(3) Major efforts have been made in terms of mediation by the Southern African Development Community (‘SADC’) and all the political parties in order to find a solution to the political crisis, in particular the negotiation of a roadmap, proposed by the SADC mediators, charting a consensus-based transition process with a view to holding free, credible elections that would permit a return to constitutional order.
(4) However, 12 months have elapsed and the European Union must now acknowledge that, despite these efforts, the roadmap has not yet been signed by the parties involved or endorsed by the SADC, the African Union or the international community. This makes it impossible, for the moment, to envisage a consensus-based transition for a return to constitutional order, which is essential to amend the appropriate measures in force.
(5) The period of application of Council Decision 2010/371/EU (4) is to expire on 6 June 2011. In the light of the situation described above, it should be extended for 6 months, subject to regular review during this period,
In Article 3 of Decision 2010/371/EU, the second sentence is replaced by the following:
‘It shall remain in force until 6 December 2011 subject to regular review during this period.’.
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Council Regulation (EU) No 43/2014 (2), lays down quotas for 2014.
(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein have exhausted the quota allocated for 2014.
