COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 359/2014
of 9 April 2014
amending Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 as regards the list of countries referred to in Article 9 thereof
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 97/78/EC lays down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Union from third countries.
(2) Article 19(1) of that Directive provides that the Commission is to draw up a list of plant products which will be subjected to border veterinary checks and a list of the third countries which may be authorised to export those plant products to the Union.
(3) Accordingly Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 (2) lists hay and straw as plant products subject to border veterinary checks while Part I of Annex V to that Regulation lists the countries from which Member States are authorised to import hay and straw.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 was adopted before the entry into force of the 2003 Treaty of Accession. Part II of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 contains a list of acceding States which was relevant until 30 April 2004. It is therefore no longer necessary to maintain neither Part II of Annex V nor the separation of Annex V in two parts.
(5) For the sake of clarity, the country ISO codes should be added in Annex V.
(6) Serbia has recently requested the authorisation to export hay and straw to the Union.
(7) Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 (3) lists Serbia as a country from which consignments of fresh meat of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and of domestic solipeds may be imported into the Union.
(8) Although live ungulates from Serbia are not allowed to be introduced into the Union, hay and straw can be allowed for introduction, as the animal health situation in Serbia does not present a risk of spreading infectious or contagious animal diseases through these plant products, which might have been in contact with live animals.
(9) Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

amending Decision 2006/593/EC fixing an indicative allocation by Member State of the commitment appropriations for the Regional competitiveness and employment objective for the period 2007-2013 as regards the Czech Republic and Slovakia

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 of 11 July 2006 laying down general provisions for the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 (1), and in particular Article 18(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Decision 2006/593/EC (2), the Commission fixed an indicative allocation by Member State of the commitment appropriations for the Regional competitiveness and employment objective for the period 2007 to 2013.
(2) In accordance with paragraph 10 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, in 2010 it has been established that the cumulated GDP for the years 2007 to 2009 in the Czech Republic, in Poland and in Slovakia has each diverged by more than ± 5 % from the cumulated GDP estimated in accordance with paragraph 9 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, including as a consequence of exchange rate changes. The amounts allocated for the period 2011 to 2013 to the Czech Republic and Slovakia should therefore be adjusted accordingly.
(3) In accordance with points 16 and 17 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (3) on 16 April 2010 the Commission adopted the Communication on the technical adjustment of the financial framework for 2011 in line with movements in GNI, including the adjustment of amounts allocated from funds supporting cohesion to the Member States concerned by divergence between estimated and actual GDP for the period 2007-2009 (4), by which it informed that a positive adjustment is necessary for the Czech Republic of EUR 237 045 801 and for Slovakia of EUR 137 711 534, to be shared in equal amounts in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
(4) In order to establish the amounts allocated to the Member States concerned, it is necessary to take into account the pro-rata allocation between the Convergence and Regional competitiveness and employment objectives in the current programming period 2007-2013 for each of the Member States concerned and the need to make the most efficient use of the allocation of the funds to projects currently being implemented. Therefore, this Decision should allocate only the part of the overall positive adjustments concerning the Regional competitiveness and employment objective.
(5) Decision 2006/593/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annex I to Decision 2006/593/EC is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
