COMMISSION DECISION of 19 December 1995 concerning two requests for exemption lodged by the Italian Republic pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of Council Directive 70/156/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (Only the Italian text is authentic) (96/22/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (1), as last amended by Commission Directive 93/81/EEC (2),
Whereas on 4 October 1995 the authorities of the Italian Republic lodged two requests for approval, by the Commission, of an exemption pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of Directive 70/156/EEC; whereas these requests contain the information required by the abovementioned Article 8; whereas these requests concern the fitting of three kinds of vehicle with a third stop lamp, as provided for in category ECE S3 by ECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Regulation No 7 and fitted in accordance with ECE Regulation No 48;
Whereas the reasons stated, whereby the fitting of the stop lamps and the stop lamps themselves do not meet the requirements of Council Directive 76/758/EEC of 27 July 1976 relating to end-outline marker lamps, front position (side) lamps, rear position (side) lamps and stop lamps for motor vehicles and their trailers (3), as last amended by Commission Directive 89/516/EEC (4), and of Council Directive 76/756/EEC of 27 July 1976 relating to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on motor vehicles and their trailers (5), as last amended by Commission Directive 91/663/EEC (6), are justified; whereas the descriptions of the tests, the results thereof and their compliance with ECE Regulations Nos 7 and 48 ensure a satisfactory level of safety;
Whereas the Directives concerned will be amended in order to authorize the production and fitting of such stop lamps; whereas, this being the case, it is therefore justified to authorize EEC type approval for the three kinds of vehicle fitted with the stop lamps covered by these requests;
Whereas the measure provided for by this Decision is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the adaptation to technical progress of the Directives for the removal of technical barriers to trade in the motor vehicles sector, as set up by Directive 70/156/EEC,
The Commission hereby approves the two requests lodged by the Italian Republic on 4 October 1995, pursuant to Article 8 (2) (c) of Directive 70/156/EEC, for an exemption concerning the production and fitting of a third stop lamp, as provided for in category ECE S3 by ECE Regulation No 7 and fitted in accordance with ECE Regulation No 48, with a view to granting EEC type-approval.
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

Whereas parts of this programme, as modified by letter dated 16 December 1994 were approved by Commission Decision 95/33/EC (1); whereas that Decision was modified by Decision 95/330/EC (2);
Whereas, with the exception of cows' milk and starch potatoes, the part of the programme providing for aid granted in relation to quantities produced was accepted on condition that after a first year the aids were, by way of appropriate conversion rates, transformed into area or headage payments unrelated to quantities produced; whereas Commission Decision 96/18/EC (3) lays down these conversion rates for all products where Decision 95/33/EC required such action, including sugarbeet;

(a) after pulling, was left in the field for a period exceeding that required for drying;
(b) shows at least two of the following characteristics:
- dark brown or black colouring,
- easily detachable seed capsules,
- easier freeing of fibres than in the case of flax which after pulling has only remained in the field for the period required for drying; and

It shall apply from the 1993/94 marketing year.

(3) Bulgaria has provided guarantees that 48 milk processing establishments have completed their upgrading process and are now in full compliance with Community legislation. Thirty one of those establishments are allowed to receive and process compliant and non-compliant raw milk without separation. They should therefore be included in the list of Chapter I of the Appendix to Annex VI.
(4) One milk processing establishment currently listed in Chapter I will process only compliant raw milk and will therefore be considered as an EU-approved milk processing establishment. That establishment should therefore be deleted from the list of Chapter I of the Appendix to Annex VI.
