amending Regulation (EEC) No 1654/86 introducing a common measure for replanting and converting olive groves damaged by frost in 1985 in certain regions of the Community
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1654/86 of 26 May 1986 introducing a common measure for replanting and converting olive groves damaged by frost in 1985 in certain regions of the Community (1), and in particular Article 5 (6) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1654/86, some of the regions concerned have organized special programmes for the implementation of the common measure set up by the said Regulation;
Whereas frost in the winter of 1985 destroyed much of the olive nurseries and whereas, accordingly, the effort to reconstitute the groves was severely delayed because of a serious shortage of young seedlings;
Whereas the areas in which reconstitution takes the form of replanting are those that suffered most from frost;
Whereas conversion work has been incomplete and whereas it should be pursued in view of the need to ensure types of production tailored more closely to the requirements of the common agricultural policy;
Whereas, if the problems taken as a whole raised by the delays in implementing the common measure are to be solved and the objectives of Regulation (EEC) No 1654/86 are to be achieved, the common measure should be extended by one year as regards action to reconstitute the olive groves by replanting and olive grove conversion;
Whereas the programmes approved by the Commission must remain in force during the extension period as regards those parts relating to the reconstitution of olive groves by replanting or conversion,
Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1654/86 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following subparagraph shall be added to paragraph 5:
'However, as regards the application of the measures:
- for reconstitution of olive groves by replanting which are eligible for the aids referred to in the first indent and the fifth indent of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1,
- for conversion of olive groves which are eligible for the aids referred to in the first and second subparagraphs of paragraph 2
the common measure shall last three years from the date of approval of the first programme and shall come to an end, in any event, on 30 June 1989.'
2. Paragraph 6 is hereby deleted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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 IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE 2014/19/EU

Whereas:
(1) From information supplied by the Member States it has become apparent that Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Le Conte has already spread and established in a large part of the Union territory. From an impact assessment carried out by the European Commission it was concluded that no measures are feasible to eradicate it or to effectively prevent its further spread.
(2) In addition, effective and sustainable means of control minimizing the impact of this organism on maize yield exist, in particular the implementation of a crop rotation scheme.
(3) Therefore no further protective measures should be set out under Directive 2000/29/EC with respect to Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Le Conte. Consequently that organism should no more be listed as a harmful organism under that Directive.
(4) Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,
Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
Member States shall adopt and publish, by 31 May 2014 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 June 2014.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
This Directive shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, Spain has sent the Commission an application for the registration of the name "Calçot de Valls" as a protected geographical indication.
(2) In accordance with Article 6(1) of that Regulation, the application has been found to meet all the requirements laid down therein and in particular to contain all the information required in accordance with Article 4 thereof.
(3) No statement of objection under Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 has been received by the Commission in respect of the name given in the Annex hereto following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3).
(4) The name should therefore be entered in the "Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications" and hence be protected throughout the Community as a protected geographical indication.
(5) The Annex hereto supplements the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2400/96(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 564/2002(5),
The name in the Annex hereto is hereby added to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2400/96 and entered as a protected geographical indication (PGI) in the "Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications" provided for in Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92.

Whereas on 26 November 1976 the 19th General Conference of Unesco adopted a Protocol to the Florence Agreement in order to extend relief from customs duties to a number of articles hitherto excluded from such relief; whereas this Protocol, although constituting an act complementing the Agreement, should nevertheless be considered a separate instrument;
Whereas, subject to recourse to the possibilities afforded by paragraph 16 (a) of the Protocol, the provisions of the Protocol are in conformity with the aims of the European Economic Community; whereas it is therefore desirable to conclude this Protocol and at the same time make the declarations referred to in paragraph 16 (a).
1.   The Protocol of 26 November 1976 to the Agreement on the importation of educational, scientific and cultural materials is hereby approved on behalf of the European Economic Community.
The text of the Protocol is annexed to this Decision.
2.   When the Protocol is signed it shall be declared that the Community:

The President of the Council is hereby authorized to designate the person empowered to sign the Protocol in order to bind the Community.
