Whereas Article 81 (3) (a) of the Act of Accession provides for the possibility of withdrawing wine-sector products from the list of products subject to the supplementary trade mechanism (STM) at the start of the second year following accession;
Whereas the aim of the supplementary trade mechanism is to monitor the trend in trade between the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 and Spain and to apply the measures provided for in the Act of Accession in line with that trend;
Whereas the application of the STM in the two past years has shown, on the one hand, that certain products such as piquette, wine lees, grape marc and vinegar have not been traded in significant qualities and, on the other hand, that trade in quality  wines produced in specified regions has developed normally; whereas it is accordingly unnecessary to monitor the trend in trade in such products using the STM; whereas the products in question should accordingly be withdrawn from the supplementary trade  mechanism;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the ad hoc STM Committee,
The following products are hereby withdrawn from the list of products subject to the STM:
CN code   Description      2206 00 10   Piquette       Wine vinegar, in containers holding:  2209 00 11    Two litres or less  2209 00 19    More than two litres       Wine lees:  2307 00 11    Having a total alcoholic strength by mass not exceeding 7,9 % mas and a dry matter  content not less than 25 % by weight  2307 00 19    Other        Grape marc:  2308 90 11     Having a total alcoholic strength by mass not exceeding 4,3 % mas and a dry matter content not less than 40 % by weight  2308 90 19     Other     ex 2204  Wine  of fresh grapes, including fortified wines qualifying for the description quality wine psr (including quality sparkling wine and quality liqueur wine produced respectively in specified regions)

In that case a contract is awarded to any tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than the maximum refund.
(3) The application of the abovementioned criteria to the current market situation for the cereal in question results in the maximum export refund being fixed at the amount specified in Article 1.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 97/69 of 16 January 1969 on measures to be taken for uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas, in order to ensure uniform application of the nomenclature of the Common Customs Tariff, provisions should be adopted concerning the tariff classification of certain beverages, sometimes called 'non- alcoholic beers', which are obtained by fermentation of wort of malt with the addition of hops and have an alcoholic strength not exceeding 0,5 % vol;
Whereas heading No 22.02 of the Common Customs Tariff annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 859/83 (3), refers to non-alcoholic beverages, and heading No 22.03 refers to beer;
Whereas, in view of their very low alcoholic strength, not exceeding 0,5 % vol, such products cannot be regarded as beer falling within heading No 22.03;
Whereas the said products should therefore be classified as non-alcoholic beverages under heading No 22.02; whereas, within this heading, it is appropriate to choose subheading 22.02 A;
Whereas, in the absence of a favourable opinion of the Committee on Common Customs Tariff Nomenclature, the Commission proposed to the Council the provisions to be adopted, under the procedure provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 97/69;
Whereas the Council has not acted within three months of the proposal being submitted to it and it is therefore appropriate for the Commission to adopt the proposed provisions under the aforementioned procedure in Regulation (EEC) No 97/69,
Beverages produced by the fermentation of the wort of malt with the addition of hops, having an alcoholic strength not exceeding 0,5 % vol, sometimes called 'non-alcoholic beers', shall be classified in the Common Customs Tariff under the following subheading:
22.02 Lemonade, flavoured spa waters and flavoured aerated waters, and other non-alcoholic beverages, not including fruit and vegetable juices falling within heading No 20.07:
A. Not containing milk or milkfats.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 21st day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Decision 2012/226/EU on the second set of common safety targets for the rail system
(notified under document C(2013) 8780)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2013/753/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2004/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on safety on the Community’s railways and amending Council Directive 95/18/EC on the licensing of railway undertakings and Directive 2001/14/EC on the allocation of railway infrastructure capacity and the levying of charges for the use of railway infrastructure and safety certification (Railway Safety Directive) (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 7(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The Commission gave the European Railway Agency (‘the Agency’) a mandate under Directive 2004/49/EC to draw up draft common safety targets (‘CSTs’) and the related draft common safety methods for the period from 2011 to 2015. Following the annual assessment of 2013 the Agency made its recommendation to the Commission for amending the second set of draft CSTs as set out in Commission Decision 2012/226/EU of 23 April 2012 on the second set of common safety targets as regards the rail system (2). This Decision is based on the Agency’s recommendation.
(2) Due to the lack of consistent national data, the National Reference Values (‘NRVs’) for Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia has been originally established for certain categories of individual risks either using not fully consistent data from 2004-2006 or on the basis of NRVs of other Member States. At present it is possible to recalculate the NRVs for these categories in a consistent way and therefore the original NRVs in the enclosed tables should be replaced.
(3) Croatia acceded to the Union on 1 July 2013. To quantitatively identify the current safety performance of railway systems in Croatia, the NRVs have been calculated with the methodology used for other Member States. These NRVs should be included in the annex to Decision 2012/226/EU.
(4) Decision 2012/226/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 27(1) of Directive 2004/49/EC,
Section 1 ‘National Reference Values (NRVs)’ in the Annex to Decision 2012/226/EU is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
