COMMISSION DECISION
of 26 March 2008
amending Decision 2006/589/EC as regards aviglycine HCl
(notified under document number C(2008) 1071)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2008/278/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular Article 6(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the United Kingdom received on 27 October 2004 an application from Valent Bioscience, for the inclusion of the active substance aviglycine HCl in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(2) By Commission Decision 2006/589/EC (2) it was confirmed that, on preliminary examination, the dossier was ‘complete’, in that it could be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements of Annex II and Annex III to Directive 91/414/EEC.
(3) Member States were thereby given the possibility to grant provisional authorisations for plant protection products containing aviglycine HCl, in accordance with Article 8(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC. No Member State has used this possibility.
(4) The United Kingdom, as rapporteur Member State, has indicated to the Commission that a detailed examination of the dossier revealed that several additional items of data were still required under Annexes II and III of Directive 91/414/EEC. Accordingly, the dossier can no longer be considered to be complete.
(5) The notifier for aviglycine HCl informed the United Kingdom and the Commission of its intention not to support the ongoing evaluation any further and not to submit further data. As a result, it is clear that the dossier will be not completed and that it will thus be impossible for the rapporteur Member State to draft an assessment report concerning aviglycine HCl and distribute it to the Commission, the European Food Safety Authority and the other Member States. The possibility of granting provisional authorisations should therefore be withdrawn.
(6) No period of grace for disposal, storage, placing in the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing aviglycine HCl is necessary as no Member State has granted a provisional authorisation for this active substance.
(7) Decision 2006/589/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
The Annex to Decision 2006/589/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 6 (5) thereof,
Whereas Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3042/83 (3), determines the taking-over date and the terms for the payment of products bought in by intervention agencies; whereas those terms in some cases make intervention too attractive a proposition; whereas, for the purposes of sound management of the market, the period concerned should be deferred;
Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Article 7 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 is hereby replaced by the following:
'4. Payment for products bought in by an intervention agency shall take place between 120 and 140 days after the taking-over date.'
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply to payments in respect of products offered for intervention as from its entry into force.

Whereas, before being able to grant definitive approval to a mill, Member States must carry out certain checks; whereas, in order to enable the mill to begin operation, provision should be made to grant provisional approval for a limited period as soon as the application has been submitted,
The first subparagraph of Article 13 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 is hereby replaced by the following:
'Provisional approval may be granted to any mill that begins operation under the production aid scheme governed by this Regulation.

The period of validity of the provisional approval may not exceed the end of the marketing year during which it was granted.
