COUNCIL DECISION
of 14 March 2011
establishing the position to be taken by the European Union within the fifth meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the Rotterdam Convention as regards the amendments to Annex III to the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade
(2011/162/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 192 and 207, in conjunction with Article 218(9), thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The European Union has approved the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade (the ‘Rotterdam Convention’) by Council Decision 2006/730/EC (1).
(2) Regulation (EC) No 689/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 concerning the export and import of dangerous chemicals (2) implements the Rotterdam Convention in the Union.
(3) In order to ensure that importing countries benefit from the protection offered by the Rotterdam Convention, it is necessary and appropriate to support the recommendation from the Chemical Review Committee as regards the inclusion in Annex III to the Rotterdam Convention of chrysotile asbestos, endosulfan, alachlor and aldicarb. These four substances are already banned or severely restricted in the Union and are therefore subject to export requirements which go beyond what is required under the Rotterdam Convention.
(4) The fifth meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the Rotterdam Convention is expected to take decisions on the proposed amendments to Annex III. The Union should support the adoption of these amendments,
The position to be taken by the Union at the fifth meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the Rotterdam Convention is that the Commission shall, on behalf of the Union, as regards matters falling within the Union’s competence, support the adoption of the amendments to Annex III to the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade (3) as regards the inclusion of chrysotile asbestos, endosulfan, alachlor and aldicarb.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 11 November 2009
amending the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC as regards the BSE status of Chile, Colombia and Japan
(notified under document C(2009) 8590)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/830/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 5(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in animals. For that purpose, the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof (countries or regions) is to be determined by classification into one of three categories depending on the BSE risk involved, namely a negligible BSE risk, a controlled BSE risk and an undetermined BSE risk.
(2) The Annex to Commission Decision 2007/453/EC of 29 June 2007 establishing the BSE status of Member States or third countries or regions thereof according to their BSE risk (2) lists countries or regions according to their BSE risk status.
(3) The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) plays a leading role in the categorisation of countries or regions according to their BSE risk. The list in the Annex to Decision 2007/453/EC takes account of Resolution No XXI — Recognition of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Status of Members — adopted by the OIE in May 2008 regarding the BSE status of Member States and third countries.
(4) Decision 2007/453/EC currently lists Finland and Sweden as having a negligible BSE risk and all other Member States as having a controlled BSE risk. It also lists the BSE status of third countries. In May 2009, the OIE adopted Resolution No XXII — Recognition of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Risk Status of Members. That Resolution recognised Chile as having a negligible BSE risk and Colombia and Japan as having a controlled BSE risk. The list in Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended to be brought into line with that Resolution as regards those three third countries. However, pending a final conclusion of the OIE on the BSE risk status of all Member States and taking into account the harmonised stringent BSE protective measures applied within the Community, no changes should at present be made as regards the recognised BSE status of the Member States.
(5) Decision 2007/453/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) 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 Decision 2007/453/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas the Commission by Decision 95/424/EC (5) adopted the plan allocating 1996 budget resources to the Member States; whereas this plan determines the amounts available to execute the 1996 plan in each Member State and sets the quantities of each product to be withdrawn from intervention stocks; whereas when it was adopted availability in intervention storage of certain products was lower than the requirements expressed by Member States; whereas the product quantities to be withdrawn form intervention should be adjusted to take account of present availability and allocations made for mobilization on the market of products not available in intervention storage; whereas unused resources notified to the Commission should be reassigned pursuant to Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of all the relevant management committees,
The Annex to Decision 95/424/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
