of 19 May 2005
fixing the quantities of raw tobacco which may be transferred to another group of varieties in Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Italy and Portugal under the guarantee threshold for the 2005 harvest
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in raw tobacco (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 introduces production quotas for the different groups of varieties of tobacco. The individual quotas are divided among producers on the basis of the guarantee thresholds for the 2005 harvest laid down in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 546/2002 of 25 March 2002 fixing the premiums and guarantee thresholds for leaf tobacco by variety group and Member State for the 2002, 2003 and 2004 harvests and amending Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92 (2). Under Article 9(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92, the Commission may authorise Member States to transfer parts of their guarantee threshold quantities between groups of varieties provided that such transfers do not give rise to additional costs for the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and do not involve any increase in the Member State's overall guarantee threshold allocations.
(2) Since these conditions have been met, transfers should be authorised in the Member States which have made application to do so.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
For the 2005 harvest, Member States are hereby authorised to transfer, before 30 May 2005, quantities from one group of varieties to another in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 19 December 2012
authorising Denmark to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base
(notified under document C(2012) 9551)
(Only the Danish text is authentic)
(2012/818/EU, Euratom)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 370 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (2), Member States which, at 1 January 1978, taxed the transactions listed in Annex X, Part A, may continue to tax those transactions; these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base.
(2) Under Article 371 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Member States which, at 1 January 1978, exempted the transactions listed in Annex X, Part B, may continue to exempt those transactions, in accordance with the conditions applying in the Member State concerned on that date; these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base.
(3) Denmark has requested authorisation from the Commission to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base since it is unable to make the precise calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in point 2 of Part A and point 10 of Part B of Annex X to Directive 2006/112/EC. Such calculation is likely to involve an unjustified administrative burden in relation to the effect of these transactions on Denmark’s total VAT own resources base. Denmark is able to make a calculation using approximate estimates for these categories of transactions. Denmark should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resource base using approximate estimates in accordance with the second indent of Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89.
(4) For reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,
For the purpose of calculating the VAT own resources base from 1 January 2012, Denmark is authorised to use approximate estimates in respect of the following categories of transactions referred to in Annex X to Directive 2006/112/EC:
(1) Activities of public radio and television bodies other than those of a commercial nature (Part A, point 2);
(2) Transport of passengers (Part B, point 10).
This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2016.
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark.
