Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC.
(2) For a number of substance/product-type combinations included in that list, either all participants have discontinued their participation from the review programme, or no complete dossier was received within the time period specified in Article 9 and Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 by the Member State designated as rapporteur for the evaluation.
(3) Consequently, and pursuant to Articles 11(2), 12(1) and 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the Commission informed the Member States accordingly. That information was also made public by electronic means on 17 January 2011.

24.12.2009 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 347/22
COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1292/2009
of 21 December 2009
derogating from Regulations (EC) No 675/2009, (EC) No 676/2009 and (EC) No 677/2009 relating to the opening of invitations to tender for the reduction in the duty on sorghum imported into Spain, the reduction in the duty on maize imported into Spain, and the reduction in the duty of maize imported into Portugal from third countries, regarding the closing date of the invitations to tender
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 144 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulations (EC) No 675/2009 (2), (EC) No 676/2009 (3) and (EC) No 677/2009 (4) opened invitations to tender for the reduction in the duty referred to in Article 136 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 on sorghum imported into Spain, maize imported into Spain, and maize imported into Portugal, respectively.
(2) Between the date of the opening of the invitations to tender and 17 November 2009 the quantity of maize imported into Spain which can be classified as part of the reduced import duty quota, less the quantities of cereal substitutes referred to in Article 2(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1296/2008 of 18 December 2008 laying down the detailed rules for the application of tariff quotas for imports of maize and sorghum into Spain and imports of maize into Portugal (5), covers only 13 % of the quota. The quantity of sorghum imported into Spain which can be classified as part of the reduced import duty quota is negligible. The quantity of maize imported into Portugal which can be classified as part of the reduced import duty quota covers only 13 % of the quota. In view of the market conditions in Spain and Portugal, opening invitations to tender until 17 December 2009 is not likely to enable sufficient quantities to cover the quotas to be imported.
(3) Therefore the invitations to tender for the reduction in the duty on maize and sorghum imported into Spain and maize imported into Portugal should be extended until the end of May 2010 to enable import quotas to be fully used up.
(4) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,
By way of derogation from Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 675/2009, Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 676/2009 and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 677/2009, invitations to tender shall be open until 27 May 2010.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall expire on 28 May 2010.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2611/95 of 25 October 1995  establishing the possibility of national aid being granted in compensation for losses of  agricultural income caused by monetary movements in other Member States
THE COUNCIL  OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 42 and  43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission  (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament  (2),
Whereas monetary movements have influenced the agricultural market particularly in the first half  of 1995; whereas certain producers may have suffered from losses of income caused by significant  monetary movements in Member States other than the one in which they produce;
Whereas, where such losses of income are objectively established, temporary national aid which does  not favour a particular type of production may be granted to compensate for the loss actually  established; whereas it is necessary for the Community to take measures to enable the common  agricultural policy to be coherently implemented;
Whereas these exceptional measures are justified solely on the basis of the specific objectives,  circumstances and features of the common agricultural policy,
Where it can be justified on the basis of facts that agricultural  producers of given production sectors have suffered considerable losses of revenue in a Member  State because of significant monetary movements which have occured in other Member States since the  beginning of the 1994/95 marketing year and no later than 31 December 1995, flat-rate compensatory  aid, reducing over three years, may be granted to the producers in question on the basis of  national financing.
The compensatory aid shall at the most be equal to the aforementioned loss of income and may not be  granted in the form of an amount linked to production other than that of a fixed period  corresponding to that in which the income was lost. It may not be so directed as to favour a  particular type of production in the sector concerned nor be dependent on production subsequent to  that fixed period.
Member States shall determine the amounts and detailed rules of this aid and notify them to the  Commission for approval. The procedural provisions of Article 93 of the Treaty shall apply without  taking account of the criteria in Article 92.
If, during the three-year period in which aid may be granted, a trend in prices due to  monetary movements is recorded before the second or third annual tranche is paid, which offsets the  losses on which the aid was based, the Commission shall decide, after consulting the Member State  concerned, to reduce appropriately or abolish the remaining tranches.
A Member State may not notify an aid project under this Regulation after 30 June 1996.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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.
