Whereas:
(1) Article 6(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 (the Regulation) provides that a bovine animal shall be identified and issued with a passport to accompany them when they are moved.
(2) Article 6(3) of the Regulation provides that Member States, which have a computerised database which the Commission deems to be fully operational, may determine that a passport is to be issued only for animals intended for intra-Union trade and that those animals shall be accompanied by their passports only when they are moved from the territory of the Member State concerned to the territory of another Member State.
(3) Lithuania has presented the Commission a request for the recognition of the operational character of its bovine database. This database forms the basis of the Lithuanian system for the identification and registration of bovine animals.
(4) Lithuania submitted the necessary information which in particular confirms that its bovine database is compatible with Article 5 of the Regulation: (i) the delays in notification of events are highlighted in the database and thus the deadlines for notifications of animal movements set in the Regulation are respected; (ii) that passports of animals moved outside of Lithuania are subsequently surrendered to the competent authority on arrival; (iii) there is an interface between the national bovine database and the national Agriculture Payment Scheme database as well as with the national Veterinary Information Management System to facilitate reconciliation controls and the exchange of useful data; and (iv) guidelines are reinforced so that ear tags are issued and distributed in a correct manner and this information is available to the database.
(5) The Commission examined this information and considers it adequate to recognise the operational character of the database.
(6) In view of the above, it is appropriate to recognise the Lithuanian database for bovine animals as fully operational from 1 July 2011,
The Lithuanian database for bovine animals is recognised as fully operational from 1 July 2011.

authorising Spain to extend for three years the application of a temporary measure excluding from compensatory aid marketed produce of new banana plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002
(notified under document number C(2005) 1605)
(Only the Spanish text is authentic)

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 12(9) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 12(9) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 a Member State may be authorised to introduce a temporary measure whereby no compensatory aid is paid for marketed produce of new banana plantations when, in the Member State’s view, there is a risk to the sustainable development of the production areas, with particular reference to conservation of the environment, and protection of the soil and the characteristic features of the countryside.
(2) By Decision 2002/414/EC (2), the Commission authorised Spain to introduce a temporary measure excluding from compensatory aid marketed produce of new banana plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002 for a period of three years.
(3) On 15 April 2005, Spain requested the Commission to authorise it to extend, for a further three years, the measure excluding the Canary Islands from compensatory aid for marketed produce of new banana plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002. The reason given for this request is the need to consolidate the positive effects of the application of the measure implemented in June 2002, and in particular to discourage the development of new plantations outside traditional production areas, in order to protect the environment, particularly as regards the use of water resources, soil stability and the socioeconomic balance, and conservation of the characteristic features of the countryside.
(4) Examination of Spain’s request to extend the measure excluding produce from compensatory aid for a period of three years shows that it complies with the aim and the provisions of Article 12(9) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93. This request should therefore be accepted.
(5) The measure provided for in this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
Spain’s request to the Commission to extend, for a further three-year period, the measure excluding the produce of new banana plantations planted on or after 1 June 2002 from the compensatory aid referred to in Article 12(9) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, authorised by Decision 2002/414/EC, is hereby accepted.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.
