Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 10(c) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 21 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 of 16 December 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards intervention on the market in butter and cream (2), intervention agencies have put up for sale by standing invitation to tender certain quantities of butter held by them.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 953/2013
of 26 September 2013
amending Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 31 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) HS subheading 852851 in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1) comprises monitors, other than cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors, of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data-processing system of heading 8471. Monitors other than those of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data-processing system of heading 8471 are classified under HS subheading 852859.
(2) In accordance with established case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (2), the classification of monitors under either HS subheading 852851 or 852859 has to be based on an overall assessment of the objective characteristics and properties of each particular monitor.
(3) Due to the convergence of digital technologies, it has become very difficult to determine, by reference to mere technical characteristics, whether or not a particular monitor is of a kind solely or principally used in an automatic data-processing system of heading 8471. In particular, ensuring the correct and uniform classification of flat panel displays which can display, with an acceptable level of functionality, signals from both automatic data-processing systems and other sources, has become technically impossible.
(4) In order to ensure a rational development of production and an expansion of consumption within the territory of the Union and to promote trade between Member States and third countries, it is in the interest of both Union consumers and Union industry to provide for a duty-free treatment for the above-mentioned monitors.
(5) Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly,
1.   Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2.   The amendments to the CN subheadings provided for in this Regulation shall be applicable as TARIC subheadings until 31 December 2013.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2) In the light of the tenders received in response to individual invitations to tender, the Commission should fix a minimum selling price or should decide not to fix a minimum selling price, in accordance with Article 46(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009.
(3) In the light of the tenders received for the seventh individual invitation to tender, a minimum selling price should be fixed.
(4) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 63(3) and Article 64(5) thereof,
Whereas:

(2) Under Article 64(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999, the prices and destinations for refunds are to be fixed periodically taking account of the existing situation and likely trends with regard to the prices and availability of the products concerned on the Community market and the world market prices for those products.
(3) In view of the accession of Latvia and Malta on 1 May 2004, refunds to those destinations in the wine sector should be abolished from the beginning of the 2003/04 wine year.
(4) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2805/95(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1175/2003(4), should therefore be amended accordingly.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals, amending Directives 90/426/EEC and 92/65/EEC and repealing Directive 72/462/EEC (1) in particular Article 3(1) and Article 17 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Part 1 of Annex I to Council Decision 79/542/EEC of 21 December 1979 drawing up a list of third countries or parts of third countries, and laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions, for importation into the Community of certain live animals and their fresh meat (2) sets out a list of third countries and parts of third countries from which Member States are authorised to import certain live animals.
(2) The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro are listed in Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 79/542/EEC for import into the Community of meat but are not listed in Part 1 of Annex I and therefore import and transit through the EU of the live animals covered by this Decision is not presently authorised.
(3) However the disease situation in these countries is acceptable and, in addition, in the interest of animal welfare it would be preferable to allow transit of slaughter animals through these countries subject to certain conditions. Therefore for a transitional period until 31 December 2006 and pending a Commission mission to these countries, transit through these countries of consignments of live animals referred to in Decision 79/542/EEC for direct slaughter may be allowed coming from the acceding countries of Bulgaria and Romania and destined to a Member State. This transitional period should apply only for Bulgaria and Romania in view of their intended accession.
(4) In order to ensure the health status of the individual consignments additional conditions such as sealing of the lorries and stamping of the certificate must be laid down.
(5) Part 1 of Annex I to Decision 79/542/EEC should be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
Part 1 of Annex I to Decision 79/542/EEC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision shall apply from 12 January 2006.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
