COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2115/77  of 27 September 1977  prohibiting the direct fishing and landing of herring for industrial purposes other than human consumption
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the greater part of the herring stocks in waters under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of Member States have reached a state which gives cause for concern ; whereas the catch limitation measures which must be taken as regards these stocks affect the interests of traditional fishing for purposes of human consumption and raise serious supply problems for the processing industry;
Whereas, consequently, it is essential that direct fishing for herring for industrial purposes other than human consumption be banned in order to permit a regular supply to the food processing and distribution industries;
Whereas such a measure can be effective only if fishermen, whether nationals of Member States or of non-member countries, are prohibited from carrying out any direct fishing activities for industrial purposes other than human consumption within Member States fishing zones;
Whereas the quantities of herring caught by direct fishing outside the waters under the sovereignty or the jurisdiction of the Member States and intended for industrial purposes are at present landed in the Community ; whereas it should be ensured that these quantities are reserved for human consumption,
All direct herring fishing for industrial purposes other than human consumption shall be prohibited within the maritime waters under the Member States' sovereignty or jurisdiction and covered by Community rules on fisheries.
All landings in the Community of herring caught by direct fishing and intended for industrial ends other than human consumption shall be prohibited, no matter what the origin.
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.

Commission Decision
of 12 September 2003
on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20(2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards watertight covering kits for wetroom floors and walls
(notified under document number C(2003) 3246)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2003/655/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products(1), as last amended by Directive 93/68/EEC(2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission is required to select, as between the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety. This means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required.
(2) Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined shall be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications. It is therefore desirable to identify the products or family of products referred to in the technical specifications.
(3) The two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC. It is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures shall be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems.
(4) The procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III. The procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13(3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of section 2 of Annex III.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex II shall be indicated in the mandates for Guidelines for European technical approvals.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
