COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1649/95 of 6 July 1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81 laying down special detailed rules in respect of import and export licences in the wine sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 of 16 March 1987 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1544/95 (2), and in particular Article 52 (3) thereof,
Whereas, as a consequence of the implementation of the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations in the wine sector, the reference price scheme for wine is being suspended from 1 July 1995; whereas this creates a new situation for wine imports and it is hard to predict how this situation will develop; whereas it is therefore appropriate to monitor the issue of import licences more closely in the future; whereas, therefore, it would be useful for Member States to communicate more rapidly the products and quantities for which import licences have been issued; whereas, consequently, Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3388/81 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3826/90 (4), should be amended to make the communication of that information weekly rather than monthly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

'Every Thursday, or the first working day thereafter, Member States shall communicate to the Commission information on the quantities and countries of origin of products for which import licences have been issued during the preceding week, broken down by combined nomenclature codes and the nomenclature codes of the countries for the Community statistics on external trade and trade between its Member States.`

TENTH  COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
of 31 July 1984
on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes, amending Directive 77/388/EEC - Application of value added tax to the hiring out of movable tangible property
(84/386/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 99 and 100 thereof,
Having regard to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1),
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 (2) of the aforementioned Directive, the hiring out of movable tangible property may constitute an economic activity subject to value added tax;
Whereas application of Article 9 (1) of the aforementioned Directive to the hiring out of movable tangible property may lead to substantial distortions of competition where the lessor and the lessee are established in different Member States and the rates of taxation in those States differ;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to establish that the place where a service is supplied is the place where the customer has established his business or has a fixed establishment for which the service has been supplied or, in the absence thereof, the place where he has his permanent address or usually resides;
Whereas, however, as regards the hiring out of forms of transport, Article 9 (1) should, for reasons of control, be strictly applied, the place where the supplier has established his business being treated as the place of supply of such services,
Directive 77/388/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. Article 9 (2) (d) is deleted;
2. in Article 9 (2) (e) the following indent is added:
'- the hiring out of movable tangible property, with the exception of all forms of transport.';
3. in Article 9 (3), 'and the hiring out of movable tangible property' is replaced by 'and the hiring out of forms of transport'.
1. Member States shall bring into force the measures necessary to comply with this Directive by 1 July 1985.
2. Member States shall inform the Commission of the provisions which they adopt for the purpose of applying this Directive. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),
Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70 provides that the amounts of aid for flax grown mainly for fibre and for hemp grown in the Community are to be fixed each year;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 4 (2) of that Regulation, this amount shall be fixed per hectare of area sown and harvested so as to ensure an even balance between the volume of production required in the Community and the amount that can be  marketed; whereas it must be fixed, taking into account the price for fibres and flax and hemp seed on the world market;
Whereas Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1308/70 provides that the portion of aid for financing Community measures to encourage the use of flax fibre is to be fixed when aid is fixed for the marketing year in question in accordance with the criteria  referred to in Article 2 (3); whereas it is to be fixed in the light of trends on the market in flax, the amount of the aid for flax and the cost of the measures to be introduced;

28.3.2014 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 93/12
COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 315/2014
of 24 March 2014
amending Regulation (EU) No 43/2014 as regards certain catch limits
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Catch limits for sandeel in Union waters of ICES zones IIa, IIIa and IV were set at zero in Annex IA to Council Regulation (EU) No 43/2014 (1), pending advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES).
(2) ICES advice on the stock has been available since 21 February 2014, and it is now possible to set a TAC for sandeel in this area, distributed in seven management areas in order to avoid local depletion.
(3) Fishing opportunities for Union vessels in Norwegian and Faroese waters and for Norwegian and Faroese vessels in Union waters, and the conditions of access to fishery resources in each other’s waters, are established each year in the light of consultations on fishing rights held in accordance with the bilateral agreements on fisheries with Norway (2) and the Faroe Islands (3), respectively. Pending the conclusion of those consultations on the arrangements for 2014, Regulation (EU) No 43/2014 fixed provisional fishing opportunities for certain stocks of blue whiting. On 12 March 2014, the consultations with Norway and the Faroe Islands were concluded, including those related to blue whiting.
(4) Annex IA to Regulation (EU) No 43/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The catch limits provided for in Regulation (EU) No 43/2014 apply from 1 January 2014. The provisions of this Regulation concerning catch limits should therefore also apply from that date. Such retroactive application is without prejudice to the principles of legal certainty and protection of legitimate expectations as the fishing opportunities concerned were set to zero in the Regulation (EU) No 43/2014. Since the modification of this catch limit has an influence on the economic activities and the planning of the fishing season of Union vessels, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication,
Amendment to Regulation (EU) No 43/2014
Annex IA to Regulation (EU) No 43/2014 is amended in accordance with the text set out in Annex to this Regulation.
Entry into force and application
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 from 1 January 2014.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
