THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 of 27 May 2002 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with Usama bin Laden, the Al-Qaida network and the Taliban, and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 467/2001 prohibiting the export of certain goods and services to Afghanistan, strengthening the flight ban and extending the freeze of funds and other financial resources in respect of the Taliban of Afghanistan(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1724/2003(2), and in particular Article 7(1), first indent, thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 lists the persons, groups and entities covered by the freezing of funds and economic resources under that Regulation.
(2) On 3 November 2003, the Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council decided to amend the list of persons, groups and entities to whom the freezing of funds and economic resources should apply. Therefore, Annex I should be amended accordingly.
(3) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation must enter into force immediately,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 is hereby amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC)  No 2699/95 of 22 November 1995 amending Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 laying down common detailed  rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products  exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing  the amount of such refunds
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade  arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products   (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1222/94  (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1149/95   (3), provides for potato starch to be assimilated to maize starch; whereas the aim of that  provision is to allow an export refund to be granted for that product and not necessarily to apply  the same refund rate as that applicable to the export of maize starch;
Whereas the application of the second subparagraph of Article 13 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No  1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals  (4), as last amended  by Regulation (EC) No 1863/95  (5), provides that the export refund for cereals exported in the  form of goods listed in Annex B may not be greater than the refund applied to cereals exported  without further processing; whereas this provision currently results in the lower of the two rates  fixed for exports of potato starch and maize starch when exported without further processing to be  applied to these products when exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty;  whereas it is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 1222/94;
Whereas the Management Committee for horizontal questions relating to trade in processed  agricultural products not covered by Annex II of the Treaty has not delivered an opinion within the  time limit set by its chairman,
Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 is hereby amended as follows:
1.  In Article 1 (2) (a) the words 'shall be assimilated to maize starch falling within CN code  1108  12` are replaced by the words 'shall be assimilated to a product derived from the processing  of maize`.
2.  In Article 1 (2) (a) the second and third indents are repealed.
3.  The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 4 (2):
'With regard to potato starch falling within CN code 1108  13, the refund rate shall be fixed  separately, in terms of maize equivalent, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23  of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 in compliance with the criteria set out above. The quantities of  potato starch used shall be converted into equivalent quantities of maize in accordance with  Article 3 (1) (b).`
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official  Journal of the European Communities.
(2) shall be applicable with effect from 1 January 1996.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States.

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 2805/95 of 5 December 1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2137/93 fixing the export refunds in the wine sector (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 68/97 (4), fixes different rates for red wines and white wines; whereas that change also necessitates an adjustment of the various categories of products listed in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1685/95 of 11 July 1995 on arrangements for issuing export licences for wine sector products and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81 laying down special detailed rules in respect of import and export licences in the wine sector (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2807/95 (6);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

of 20 December  1993
concerning the conclusion on behalf of the European Coal and Steel Community of the  Supplementary Protocol between the European Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of  the one part, and the Slovak Republic, of the other part, to the Interim Agreement on trade and  trade-related matters between the European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel  Community, of the one part, and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, of the other  part
(93/746/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community, and in particular  the first paragraph of Article 95 thereof;
Whereas, pending the entry into force of the European Agreement signed in Luxembourg on 4 October  1993, it is necessary to approve the Supplementary Protocol to the Interim Agreement between the  European Economic Community and the European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the  Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, of the other part, on trade and trade-related matters signed in  Brussels on 16 December 1991, as subsequently amended by the exchange of letters signed on 15  December 1992 concerning the extension of the duration of this Agreement;
Whereas the Interim Agreement was last amended by an Additional Protocol initialled on 16 July 1993  and applied provisionally from the 1 July 1993 in order to increase and accelerate the grant of  certain Community concessions;
Whereas the conclusion of the Supplementary Protocol with the Slovak Republic to the Interim  Agreement in order to adapt this Agreement to the dissolution of the Czech and Slovak Federal  Republic on 31 December 1992 and the subsequent succession thereto by the Slovak Republic is  necessary to attain the objectives of the Community set out in particular in Articles 2 and 3 of  the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community and whereas the Treaty did not make  provision for all the cases covered by this Decision;
Having consulted the Consultative Committee and with the unanimous assent of the Council;
The Supplementary Protocol between the  European Community and the European Coal and Steel Community of the one part and the Slovak  Republic of the other part to the Interim Agreement between the European Economic Community and the  European Coal and Steel Community, of the one part, and the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, of  the other part, is hereby approved on behalf of the European Coal and Steel Community.
The text of the Supplementary Protocol is annexed to this Decision  (1).
The President of the Commission is authorized to designate the person who will sign the  Supplementary Protocol in order to bind the European Coal and Steel Community.
COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 3975/86
of 22 December 1986
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2764/77 extending the period for which Class III may be applied in respect of certain fruit and vegetables
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1351/86 (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 4 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 provides that, unless an extension is decided upon in accordance with the voting procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty, Class III may not be applied beyond the fifth year following the date of entry into force of the Regulation which defines it; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2764/77 (3), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3409/82 (4), extended this possibility of application until 31 December 1986;
Whereas the marketing of Class III represents a large share of producers' incomes, where there is no Class II for the product; whereas, where there is a Class II, the share of producers' incomes represented by Class III is considerably lower, although not negligible, particularly at certain times of the year;
Whereas, moreover, the marketing of Class III products enables certain consumers with modest incomes to obtain supplies of those products;
Whereas it seems advisable, therefore, to provide for Class III to be applicable for a limited period beyond 31 December 1986,
In Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2764/77, '31 December 1986', is hereby replaced by '30 April 1988'.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1987.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
COMMISSION DECISION of 23 July 1997 calling on the Kingdom of the Netherlands to withdraw certain provisions on labelling from its draft regulations on spreadable fats (Only the Dutch text is authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) (97/578/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (1), as last amended by Directive 97/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), and in particular Articles 16 and 17 thereof,
Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for by Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC, the Netherlands authorities have notified the Commission that they intend to adopt a draft order on spreadable fats;
Whereas Article 3 (1) of this draft lays down the minimum and maximum contents of vitamins A and D to be added and paragraph 2 of the same Article stipulates that if the spreadable fats do not contain the nutrients referred to in paragraph 1 or contain a different quantity thereof this must be indicated on the label;
Whereas the draft was discussed with the other Member States at the meeting of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs on 27 February 1997;
Whereas imposition of further details on the label, going beyond those already provided for in Directive 79/112/EEC, is not necessary in order to keep the consumer informed of the exact composition of the products concerned;
Whereas this conclusion has led the Commission to issue a negative opinion, as provided for by the second subparagraph of Article 16 (2) of Directive 79/112/EEC;
Whereas unilateral imposition of such an obligation by the Netherlands authorities would create new barriers to the free movement of foodstuffs;
Whereas the Netherlands authorities must therefore be asked to withdraw this provision on labelling from the draft order on spreadable fats;
Whereas the measures provided for by this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
The Kingdom of the Netherlands is called on to withdraw from its draft order on spreadable fats the provisions of Article 3 (2) requiring specific indication on the labelling for products containing no vitamin A and D or containing a quantity different from the quantity specified in Article 3 (1).
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

In Annex XVIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, the trigger levels for additional duties on tomatoes, cucumbers, table grapes, apricots, cherries, other than sour, peaches, including nectarines, and plums shall be replaced by the trigger levels in the corresponding column of this Annex as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
