Council Decision

authorising the French Republic to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty to certain mineral oils, when used for specific purposes, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC, the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission may authorise any Member State to introduce exemptions or reductions in the excise duty charged on mineral oils for specific policy considerations.
(2) As public transport is more environmentally friendly than transport in private vehicles, the French authorities have informed the Commission that they wish to introduce a differentiated rate of duty on diesel fuel used in local public passenger transport vehicles by refunding a proportion of future annual rises in duty on diesel fuel.
(3) The other Member States have been informed thereof.
(4) The Commission and all the Member States accept that the application of differentiated rate of excise duty on diesel fuel used in local public passenger transport vehicles will not give rise to distortions of competition or hinder the operation of the internal market.
(5) This Decision does not prejudice the outcome of any future State aid procedures that may be undertaken in accordance with Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty, nor does it override the requirement for Member States to notify instances of potential State aid to the Commission under Article 88 of the Treaty.
(6) The Commission regularly reviews reductions and exemptions to check that they do not distort competition or the operation of the internal market or are incompatible with Community policy on protection of the environment.
(7) The French Republic has requested authorisation to introduce the differentiated rate of duty on diesel fuel used in local public passenger transport vehicles from 1 January 2001.
(8) The Council will review this Decision on the basis of a proposal from the Commission no later than 31 December 2005 when the authorisation granted by this Decision expires,
In accordance with Article 8(4) of Directive 92/81/EEC, the French Republic is authorised to apply a differentiated rate of excise duty on diesel fuel used in local public passenger transport vehicles from 1 January 2001 until 31 December 2005 provided that the differentiated rates are in accordance with the obligations laid down in Council Directive 92/82/EEC of 19 October 1992 on the approximation of the rates of excise duties on mineral oils(2), and in particular the minimum rates laid down in Article 5 thereof.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 897/88  of 5 April 1988  on the supply of common wheat to the League of Red Cross Societies (LRCS) as food aid
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3972/86 of 22 December 1986 on food-aid policy and food-aid management (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3785/87 (2), and in particular Article 6 (1) (c) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1420/87 of 21 May 1987 laying down implementing rules for Regulation (EEC) No 3972/86 on food-aid policy and food-aid management (3), lays down the list of countries and organizations eligible for food-aid operations  and specifies the general criteria on the transport of food aid beyond the fob stage;
Whereas, by its Decision of 19 May 1987 on the supply of food aid to LRCS the Commission allocated to the latter organization 2 276 tonnes of cereals to be supplied free at port of landing;
Whereas it is necessary to provide for the carrying-out of this measure in accordance with the rules laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2200/87 of 8 July 1987 laying down general rules for the mobilization in the Community of products to be  supplied as Community food aid (4); whereas it is necessary to specify the time limits and conditions of supply and the procedure to be followed to determine the resultant costs,
A tendering procedure is hereby initiated for the award of a contract for the supply of common wheat to the LRCS in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2200/87 and with the conditions laid down in the Annex hereto.

Regulation (EC) No 2039/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 28 September 2000
amending Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer, as regards the base year for the allocation of quotas of hydrochlorofluorocarbons
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 175(1) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(2),
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer(3), takes 1996 as the base year for allocating quotas of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). Since 1996 the HCFC market has changed considerably with respect to importers and the maintenance of 1996 would result in a large number of importers being deprived of their import quota. As a general rule, quotas should be based on the most recent and representative figures available, in this case those for 1999, and so the maintenance of 1996 could be considered arbitrary and might even result in a breach of the principles of non-discrimination and legitimate expectations.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly,
In Article 4(3)(i)(h) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 the words "its percentage market share in 1996" shall be replaced by "the percentage share assigned to it in 1999".
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following 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.

Whereas Article 12 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 859/89 of 29 March 1989 laying down detailed rules for the application of general and special intervention measures in the beef and veal sector (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 343/93 (4),  provides for the application of a coefficient calculated on the basis of the market prices recorded before and after the tendering procedure; whereas, in order to prevent the proper operation of this Article being disturbed by possible changes in the  exchange rates, it is necessary to extend the field of application of Article 16 of that Regulation to this mechanism;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 859/89 is hereby replaced by following:
'Article 16
The rate of conversion for the amounts referred to in Articles 9 to 12 shall be the agricultural conversion rate valid on the final date for the submission of tenders.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the first tendering procedure of March 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
