of 3 October 2003
on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20(2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards metal frame building kits, concrete frame building kits, prefabricated building units, cold storage room kits and rock-fall protection kits

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products(1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC(2), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission is required to select, between the two procedures under Article 13(3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety. Whereas this means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13(4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required.
(2) Article 13(4) requires that the procedure thus determined shall be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications. Therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications.
(3) The two procedures provided for in Article 13(3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC. It is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures shall be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems.
(4) The procedure referred to in Article 13(3)(a) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of Annex III(2)(ii). The procedure referred to in Article 13(3)(b) corresponds to the systems set out in Annex III(2)(i), and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of III(2)(ii).
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
The products and families of products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control and the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex II shall be indicated in the mandates for Guidelines for European technical approvals.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

amending Regulation (EC) No 917/2004 on detailed rules to implement Council Regulation (EC) No 797/2004 on measures improving general conditions for the production and marketing of apiculture products
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 110 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 917/2004 (2) lays down provisions for the implementation of the national apiculture programmes provided for in Article 105 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. According to Article 2(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 917/2004, the apiculture programme measures laid down for every year of the three-year period shall be implemented by 31 August of the year to which they relate and payments shall be carried out during the annual exercise established from 16 October of the same year to 15 October of the following year. As a result, Member States cannot implement apiculture measures between 1 September of the year of the apiculture programme and 15 October of the same year.
(2) In order to avoid the gap between the implementation and the funding of apiculture measures, the relevant dates need to be changed so that measures can be implemented all year round.
(3) The Union financial contribution to national apiculture programmes is based on the bee census/number of hives in each Member State as set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 917/2004.
(4) In accordance with Article 109 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, Member States submitted their national apiculture programmes and updated the numbers of hives as provided for in Article 1(a) of Regulation (EC) No 917/2004. The updated numbers of hives should be reflected in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 917/2004.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 917/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The amendments provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation for Agricultural Markets,
Regulation (EC) No 917/2004 is amended as follows:
(1) in Article 2, paragraphs 2 and 3 are replaced by the following:
(2) Annex I is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply as from the 2014 apiculture year starting on 1 September 2013.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2166/2002
of 5 December 2002
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 December 2002.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
