THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:

concerning the authorisation of dimethylglycine sodium salt as feed additive for chickens for fattening (holder of the authorisation Taminco N.V.)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.
(2) In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of dimethylglycine sodium salt. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(3) The application concerns the authorisation of dimethylglycine sodium salt as a feed additive for chickens for fattening, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.
(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 7 December 2010 (2) that dimethylglycine sodium salt, under the proposed conditions of use, does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer health or the environment, and that this additive has the potential to significantly improve body weight gain and feed to gain ratio in chickens for fattening. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the European Union Reference Laboratory for Feed Additives set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) The assessment of dimethylglycine sodium salt shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘other zootechnical additives’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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.

COMMISSION DECISION  of 11 January 1980  refusing to accept the scientific character of the apparatus described as "Hewlett-Packard computing calculator, model HP 9825A"  (80/139/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1027/79 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 3 July 1979, the Italian Government requested the Commission to invoke the procedure laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as "Hewlett-Packard computing calculator, model HP 9825A" used for research in the electron-spin resonance sector and, in particular, for the study of the structure and reactivity of free radicals and of ion-pairs in solution, in the context of the study of the influence of these pairs on the mechanisms of chemical reactions, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 15 November 1979 within the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine this particular case;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a computer used for the collection, the conversion and the analysis of data;
Whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research ; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind is principally used for non-scientific activities ; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus ; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus,
The apparatus described as "Hewlett-Packard computing calculator, model HP 9825A" is not considered to be a scientific apparatus.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1109/2002(3) sets the quantities for which A1 export licences, other than those requested in the context of food aid, may be issued.
(2) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 sets the conditions under which special measures may be taken by the Commission with a view to avoiding an overrun of the quantities for which A1 licences may be issued.
(3) The Commission has received information which indicates that those quantities, reduced or increased by the quantities referred to in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, would be exceeded if A1 licences were issued without restriction for shelled almonds in response to applications submitted since 5 November 2002. Therefore, one percentage should be fixed for the issuing of licences for quantities applied for on 5 November 2002 and applications for A1 licences submitted later in that application period should be rejected,
A1 export licences for shelled almonds for which applications were submitted on 5 November 2002 pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1109/2002 shall be issued for 94,7 % of the quantities applied for.
Applications for A1 export licences submitted after 5 November 2002 and before 8 January 2003 for this product shall be rejected.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 8 November 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION of 29 March 1990 concerning the conclusion of an Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland establishing cooperation in the field of training in the context of the implementation of Comett II  (1990-1994) (90/192/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the oppinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas, by Decision 89/27/EEC (3), the Council adopted the second phase of the programme for cooperation between universities and industry regarding training in the field of technology (Comett II) (1990-1994);
Whereas, by Decision of 22 May 1989, the Council adopted the opening of the Comett II programme to the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries and Article 1 of that Decision authorizes the Commission to negotiate - with those EFTA countries  which so wish - cooperation agreements in the field of training in technology in the context of the implementation of Comett II;
Whereas a cooperation Agreement with Iceland enriches, by its very nature, the impact of Comett II actions throughout the Community and will strengthen the skill levels of human resources in Europe,
The Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Iceland establishing cooperation in the field of training in the context of the implementation of Comett II (1990-1994) is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of the Agreement is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council shall, on behalf of the Community, give the notification as provided for in Article 15 of the Agreement.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2254/2004
of 27 December 2004
amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second indent of Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Harmonised rules for organic livestock production are still quite recent and with the current development of this sector there is still not a sufficient range of biodiversity of organically reared livestock available on the market. Hence, there is still a need to facilitate the development of the organic livestock production.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2277/2003 (2), which amended Annexes I and II to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, extended the transitional period for bringing conventional animals into the organic farming system until 31 December 2004. However, this extension has proved not to be sufficient in particular in the case of poultry production, which comprises different stages where different specialised sectors are involved.
(3) There is, therefore, still a need for reliance on non-organically reared animals. The provisions on the origin of the animals should be adapted accordingly.
(4) Although it is already possible to reinforce the provisions on the origin of pullets for egg production, production standards for these animals have not been harmonised yet. Until such standards are established, it is appropriate to permit bringing non-organically reared pullets for egg production of not more than 18 weeks into an organic livestock unit when organically reared pullets are not available, under certain conditions applying prior to bringing these animals into the organic farming system.
(5) Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) Considering the urgency of the measure due to the fact that certain provisions on the origin of animals expire on 31 December 2004, this Regulation should enter into force on the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,
Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

of 16 February 2004
on import licences in respect of beef and veal products originating in Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 of 10 December 2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1706/98(1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003 of 19 December 2003 laying down detailed rules for the application in the beef and veal sector of Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States)(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003 provides for the possibility of issuing import licences for beef and veal products. However, imports must take place within the limits of the quantities specified for each of these exporting non-member countries.
(2) The applications for import licences submitted between 1 and 10 February 2004, expressed in terms of boned meat, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2247/2003, do not exceed, in respect of products originating from Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia, the quantities available from those States. It is therefore possible to issue import licences in respect of the quantities applied for.
(3) The quantities in respect of which licences may be applied for from 1 March 2004 should be fixed within the scope of the total quantity of 52100 tonnes.
(4) This Regulation is without prejudice to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 807/2003(4),
The following Member States shall issue on 21 February 2004 import licences for beef and veal products, expressed as boned meat, originating in certain African, Caribbean and Pacific States, in respect of the following quantities and countries of origin:
United Kingdom:
- 40 tonnes originating in Swaziland,
- 350 tonnes originating in Botswana,
- 100 tonnes originating in Namibia;
