COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 July 2009
amending Decision 2008/721/EC as regards indemnities paid to members of Scientific Committees and experts in the field of consumer safety, public health and the environment
(notified under document number C(2009) 5767)
(2009/566/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 152 and 153 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 19 of Commission Decision 2008/721/EC of 5 September 2008 setting up an advisory structure of Scientific Committees and experts in the field of consumer safety, public health and the environment and repealing Decision 2004/210/EC (1) states that members of the Scientific Committees, scientific advisors from the Pool and external experts shall be entitled to an indemnity for their participation in the meetings of the Committees, thematic workshops, working groups and other meetings and events organised by the Commission, and for serving as Rapporteur on a specific question.
(2) Annex III to Decision 2008/721/EC fixes at EUR 300 the indemnity for each full day of participation, at EUR 150 the indemnity for participating in a morning or afternoon meeting, and at EUR 300 the indemnity for acting as Rapporteur. The latter may be increased at EUR 600 where fully justified and subject to availability of budget for questions which are particularly demanding in terms of workload.
(3) That Annex also states that the Commission will regularly assess the need to adapt these indemnities in light of prices indexes, the evaluation of indemnities paid to experts in other European bodies and the experience on the workload for members, associated members, other scientific advisors and external experts. The first assessment should take place in 2009.
(4) The current level of indemnities was fixed in 1997 for the members and experts of the predecessors of the Scientific Committees in question and has not been re-evaluated since then. The daily indemnity adapted taking into account the consumer prices increase in the period 1997-2008 based on the Consumer Price Index Data of Eurostat would be of EUR 381,50 This amount should be rounded up to EUR 385.
(5) The distinction between full day and half day meetings should be eliminated in order to take into account travelling and transport time.
(6) In light of experience, the workload for Rapporteurs depends substantially on the complexity and duration of the activities needed to complete the opinion, taking into account the complexity of the issue, the availability and accessibility of data, the amount of literature to be examined, the need for collaboration with other bodies and the extent and complexity of stakeholder and public consultations required. The current two levels for the Rapporteur indemnity do not reflect the actual range of situations and therefore a wider modulation of the Rapporteur indemnity should be introduced,
Annex III to Decision 2008/721/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1486/2002(4). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling EUR 28,402/100 kg.

Whereas Article 12 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 provides that, where there is an impending risk of grubbing up on a vast scale and the Council has not yet taken a decision, operation of the permanent abandonment scheme may be suspended or limited  in order to prevent a manifest imbalance between Member States in its impact;
Whereas over the three wine years 1988/89 to 1990/91 grubbing premiums were granted on 13 792 hectares of vines, of which 8 193 hectares produced grapes for drying; whereas this amounted to 8,4 % of the total area under vines in Greece; whereas the  average grubbing rate over the same period in Spain, France and Italy was less than 4 %; whereas for the 1991/92 wine year the estimated area abandoned in Greece is more than 5 000 hectares; whereas this trend continues, since the premium amounts are  relatively more attractive in Greece than in the rest of the Community and Greek vineyards are under attack by phylloxera; whereas this very rapid development is destabilizing both socially and economically;
Whereas the present Regulation is taken as an emergency measures pending a decision by the Council;
Whereas account should be taken of the situation of producers who have already submitted an application and made provision for grubbing to be carried out,
Application of Regulation (EEC) No 1442/88 is suspended in Greece until the end of the 1992/93 wine year for the grape varieties:
- Soyltanina (Soultanina),

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of 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.
