COMMISSION  DECISION
of 30 October 1986
amending Decision 81/545/EEC concerning animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of fresh meat from Bulgaria
(86/538/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 86/469/EEC (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas animal health conditions and veterinary certification requirements for imports of fresh meat form Bulgaria have been established by Commission Decision 81/545/EEC (3);
Whereas the Bulgarian authorities have altered their vaccination policies against exotic foot-and-mouth disease and against swine fever; whereas, as regards exotic foot-and-mouth disease, A22 and Asia 1 subtypes are now used for the vaccination of cattle and sheep in a buffer zone along the borders with Turkey and Greece comprising the regions Bourgas, Jambol, Haskovo, Smoljan and Blagoevgrad; whereas swine fever vaccination is being carried out in Bulgaria;
Whereas certain Member States, because of their particular animal health situations concerning swine fever, benefit from special provisions in intra-Community trade and should therefore also be authorized to apply special provisions in respect of imports from third countries; whereas these provisions must be at least as strict as those which the same Member States apply in intra-Community trade;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Decision 81/545/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. In Article 1, 'Mitchourine, Malko, Tarnovo, Groudovo, Elhovo and Svilengrad' are replaced by 'Bourgas, Jambol, Haskovo, Smoljan and Blagoevgrad'.
2. In Article 2 the existing paragraph is numbered '1'.
3. The following paragraph is added to Article 2:
'2. While remaining officially free from swine fever, Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom may, in respect of fresh meat of swine referred to under Article 1 (1) (a), retain their national animal health rules relating to protection against swine fever.'
4. Annex A is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 1 November 1986. However, the certificates currently used, amended if necessary in accordance with the provisions of this Decision, may be used until 28 February 1987.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 13 October 2014
establishing the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Committee on Government Procurement on the accession of New Zealand to the Revised Agreement on Government Procurement
(2014/721/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 207(4), in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On 28 September 2012, New Zealand applied for accession to the Revised Agreement on Government Procurement (the ‘Revised GPA’).
(2) New Zealand's commitments on coverage are laid down in its final offer, as submitted to the Parties to the Revised GPA on 21 July 2014.
(3) Although comprehensive, the offer by New Zealand does not provide full coverage. It is thus appropriate to introduce certain carve-outs specific to New Zealand to the Union coverage. These specific carve-outs, as reflected in the Annex to this Decision, will become part of the terms of accession to the Revised GPA for New Zealand and will be reflected in the decision adopted by the Committee on Government Procurement (‘the GPA Committee’) on New Zealand's accession.
(4) New Zealand's accession to the Revised GPA is expected to make a positive contribution to further international opening of public procurement markets.
(5) Article XXII(2) of the Revised GPA provides that any Member of the WTO may accede to the Revised GPA on terms to be agreed between that Member and the Parties, with such terms stated in a decision of the GPA Committee.
(6) Accordingly, it is necessary to establish the position to be taken on the Union's behalf within the GPA Committee in relation to the accession of New Zealand,
The position to be taken on the Union's behalf within the Committee on Government Procurement shall be to approve the accession of New Zealand to the Revised Agreement on Government Procurement, subject to specific terms of accession set out in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 620/2009 of 13 July 2009 providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for high-quality beef (3) sets out detailed rules for the submission and issue of import licences.
(2) Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 provides that in cases where quantities covered by licence applications exceed the quantities available for the quota period, allocation coefficients should be fixed for the quantities covered by each licence application. The applications for import licences submitted pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 620/2009 between 1 and 7 July 2011 exceed the quantities available. Therefore, the extent to which import licences may be issued and the allocation coefficient should be determined,
Import licence applications covered by the quota with order number 09.4449 and submitted between 1 and 7 July 2011 in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 620/2009, shall be multiplied by an allocation coefficient of 0,55512 %.

Whereas, pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations, Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 702/89 (3) laid down the weightings to be applied from 1 January 1989 to the remuneration of officials serving in non-member countries payable in the currency of their country of employment;
Whereas the Commission has made a number of adjustments to these weightings in recent months, pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 13 of Annex X to the Staff Regulations (4);
Whereas some of these weightings should be adjusted with effect from 1 May 1989 given that the statistics available to the Commission show that in certain non-member countries the variation in the cost of living measured on the basis of the weighting and the corresponding exchange rate has exceeded 5 % since weightings were last laid down or adjusted,
With effect from 1 May 1989 the weightings applicable to the remuneration of officials serving in non-member countries payable in the currency of their country of employment are adjusted as shown in the Annex.
The exchange rates for the payment of such remuneration shall be those used for implementation of the budget of the European Communities during the month preceding the date on which this Decision takes effect.

Whereas Commission Decision 97/660/EEC (5), as last amended by Decision 98/203/EC (6) adopts the plan allocating to the Member States resources to be charged to the 1998 budget year, whereas that plan determines the financial resources made available to implement the 1998 plan in each participating Member State and fixes the quantities of each type of product to be withdrawn from intervention stocks within the limits of those financial resources;
Whereas Italy has already organised and executed invitations to tender immediately after the adoption of the first Decision, 97/660/EC of 2 November 1997, using the products available from intervention stocks at that date; whereas, at the time of the last amendment to the plan, account was not taken of this situation; whereas, it is accordingly appropriate to effect an amendment to the 1998 plan for Italy and to modify the intra-Community transfer authorisations granted in the Decisions 98/101/EC and 98/203/EC;
