THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10 December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to the most deprived persons in the Community (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3744/87 of 14 December 1987 laying down the detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to the most deprived persons in the Community (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 583/91 (3), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,

Whereas on 7 August 1991, Denmark requested Commission authorization to initiate already in 1991 the action on its territory to be financed by resources chargeable to the 1992 budget and indicated the quantities of produce that it wished to distribute; whereas it is desirable to initiate the scheme now in Denmark by making an allocation to that country; whereas this allocation shall not exceed 50 % of the resources allocated by Commission decision to Denmark in respect of the plan for 1991;

2. Subject to the limit set out in paragraph 1, the following quantities of produce may be withdrawn from intervention for distribution in Denmark:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2162/2005
of 23 December 2005
determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001 (1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton (2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the cotton aid scheme (3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2)
In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3)
The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The world price for unginned cotton as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 is hereby determined as equalling 22,051 EUR/100 kg.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 December 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
(1)
Decision ECB/2004/10 of 23 April 2004 laying down the measures necessary for the paying-up of the European Central Bank's capital by the non-participating national central banks (1), determined the percentage of the subscription to the European Central Bank's (ECB's) capital which the national central banks (NCBs) of the Member States that would not have adopted the euro on 1 May 2004 were under an obligation to pay up on 1 May 2004 as a contribution to the ECB's operational costs.
(2)
In view of the accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union and their respective NCBs joining the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) on 1 January 2007, Decision ECB/2006/21 of 15 December 2006 on the national central banks’ percentage shares in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank's capital (2) establishes with effect from 1 January 2007 the new weightings assigned to each NCB that will be a member of the ESCB on 1 January 2007 in the key for subscription to the ECB's expanded capital (hereinafter the capital key weightings and the capital key respectively).
(3)
The ECB's subscribed capital will be EUR 5 760 652 402,58 with effect from 1 January 2007.
(4)
The expanded capital key requires the adoption of a new ECB decision repealing Decision ECB/2004/10 with effect from 1 January 2007 and determining the percentage of the ECB's subscribed capital which the NCBs of the Member States that will not have adopted the euro by 1 January 2007 (hereinafter the non-participating NCBs) are under an obligation to pay up with effect from 1 January 2007.
(5)
In view of Articles 3.5 and 6.6 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Council of the European Central Bank, the Governors of the Bulgarian National Bank and Banca Naţională a României have had the opportunity to submit observations regarding this Decision prior to its adoption,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1463/2004
of 17 August 2004
concerning the authorisation for 10 years of the additive ‘Sacox 120 microGranulate’ in feedingstuffs, belonging to the group of coccidiostats and other medicinal substances
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs (1), and in particular Article 9g(5)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC, coccidiostats included in Annex I to that Directive before 1 January 1988 were provisionally authorised as from 1 April 1998 and transferred to Chapter I of Annex B with a view to their re-evaluation as additives linked to a person responsible for putting them into circulation. The salinomycin sodium product, Sacox 120 microGranulate, is an additive belonging to the group ‘Coccidiostats and other medicinal substances’ listed in Chapter I of Annex B to Directive 70/524/EEC.
(2)
The person responsible for putting Sacox 120 microGranulate into circulation submitted an application for authorisation and a dossier, according to Article 9g(2) and (4) of that Directive.
(3)
Article 9g(6) of Directive 70/524/EEC allows the automatic extension of the period of authorisation of the additives concerned until the Commission takes a decision in cases where, for reasons beyond the control of the authorisation holder, no decision may be taken on the application before the expiry date of the authorisation. This provision is applicable to the authorisation of Sacox 120 microGranulate. The Commission requested a full risk evaluation from the Scientific Committee for Animal Nutrition on 26 April 2001 and this request was consequently transferred to the European Food Safety Authority. Several requests for additional information were made during the re-evaluation process making it impossible to complete the re-evaluation within the time limit required by Article 9g.
(4)
The Scientific Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed attached to the European Food Safety Authority has delivered a favourable opinion with regard to the safety and to the efficacy of Sacox 120 microGranulate for chickens for fattening.
(5)
The re-evaluation of Sacox 120 microGranulate carried out by the Commission showed that the relevant conditions laid down in Directive 70/524/EEC are satisfied. Sacox 120 microGranulate should therefore be authorised for 10 years as an additive linked to the person responsible for putting it into circulation and included in Chapter I of the list referred to Article 9t(b) of that Directive.
(6)
As the authorisation for the additive is now linked to a person responsible for putting it into circulation, and replaces the previous authorisation which was not linked to any specific person, it is appropriate to delete the latter authorisation.
(7)
Since there are no safety reasons for withdrawing the product salinomycin sodium from the market immediately, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period of six months for the disposal of existing stocks of the additive.
(8)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Chapter I of Annex B to Directive 70/524/EEC is amended as follows:
The additive salinomycin sodium, belonging to the group ‘Coccidiostats and other medical substances’, is deleted.
Article 2
The additive Sacox 120 microGranulate belonging to the group ‘Coccidiostats and other medical substances’ as set out in the Annex to the present Regulation is authorised for use in animal nutrition under the conditions laid down in that Annex.
Article 3
A period of six months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation is permitted to use up the existing stocks of salinomycin sodium.
Article 4
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1419/2007
of 29 November 2007
terminating the partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of integrated electronic compact fluorescent lamps (CFL-i) originating in the People's Republic of China
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation) and in particular Articles 9 and 11(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1)
By Regulation (EC) No 1470/2001 (2), the Council imposed definitive anti-dumping duties ranging from 0 to 66,1 % on imports of integrated electronic fluorescent lamps (CFL-i) originating in the People's Republic of China (PRC) following an investigation. Prior to that, the Commission had imposed provisional anti-dumping duties by Regulation (EC) No 255/2001 (3).
(2)
By Regulation (EC) No 866/2005 (4), the Council extended the anti-dumping measures to also cover imports of CFL-i consigned from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan or the Republic of the Philippines whether declared as originating in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan or the Republic of the Philippines or not. The extension followed an anti-circumvention investigation carried out pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation.
(3)
By Regulation (EC) No 1322/2006 (5), the Council amended the anti-dumping measures in force. The amendment was made following an interim review carried out with regard to the product scope. The result of the investigation and the effect of the amending Regulation was that direct current voltage lamps (DC-CFL-i) should be excluded from the scope of the measures. The anti-dumping measures would accordingly only cover alternating current voltage lamps (including electronic compact fluorescent discharge lamps functioning on both alternating and direct current) (AC-CFL-i).
(4)
By Regulation (EC) No 1205/2007 (6) the Council prolonged the anti-dumping measures in force. The prolongation was made following an expiry review carried out pursuant to Article 11(2) of the Basic Regulation.
(5)
The initiation of the investigation followed a request for a review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. The request was lodged by the Community Federation of Lighting Industry of Compact Fluorescent Lamps Integrated (2CFLI) (the applicant).
(6)
Having determined, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of a review, the Commission, on 8 September 2006, initiated an investigation (7) pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. The scope of the interim review is limited to the level of dumping as far as one exporting producer, Lisheng Electronic & Lighting (Xiamen), is concerned.
(7)
The Commission officially advised the applicant and the exporting producer in the PRC, as well as the representatives of the government of the exporting country, of the initiation of the review.
(8)
Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.
(9)
In order to obtain the information deemed necessary for its investigation, the Commission sent questionnaires to the exporting producer concerned. The exporting producer cooperated by replying to the questionnaires and verification visits were subsequently carried out at the premises of the exporting producer as well as to other parties related to this exporting producer, namely:

The investigation period as concerns the level of dumping for the interim review of the one exporting producer, Lisheng Electronic & Lighting (Xiamen) Co. Ltd., covered the period from 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006.
B. PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT
(11)
The product concerned is the same as determined in the amending Regulation, i.e. electronic compact fluorescent discharge lamps functioning on alternating current (including electronic compact fluorescent discharge lamps functioning on both alternating and direct current), with one or more glass tubes, with all lighting elements and electronic components fixed to the lamp foot, or integrated in the lamp foot originating in the People's Republic of China (the product concerned), currently classifiable within CN code ex 8539 31 90.
(12)
As in the original investigation, it was found that CFL-i manufactured and sold domestically in the PRC, and CFL-i exported from the PRC has the same basic physical and technical characteristics and uses. Therefore and as concluded in the prolongation Regulation, these products are alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
C. DUMPING
(13)
Pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation, in anti-dumping investigations concerning imports originating in the PRC, normal value is to be determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 6 of the said Article for those exporting producers which can show that they meet the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of that Regulation, i.e. that market economy conditions prevail in respect of the manufacture and sale of the like product.
(14)
While the Chinese exporting producer was granted Market economy treatment in the original investigation, an assessment had to be made in the interim review as to whether the relevant criteria for fulfilment of MET were still in place. A MET claims form pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation was consequently sent and completed by the Chinese Exporting producer, and its related company Megaman Electrical & Lighting Ltd. (Xiamen).
(15)
Briefly, and for ease of reference only, the criteria for MET are set out in summarised form below:
1.
business decisions and costs are made in response to market signals, and without significant State interference;
2.
firms have one clear set of accounting records which are independently audited in line with international accounting standards (IAS) and are applied for all purposes;
3.
there are no significant distortions carried over from former non-market-economy system;
4.
legal certainty and stability is provided by bankruptcy and property laws;
5.
currency exchanges are carried out at market rate.
(16)
As stated before, the Commission sought and verified at the premises of the exporting producer and its related company Megaman Electrical & Lighting Ltd., all information submitted in the MET applications and deemed necessary. The investigation revealed that the Chinese exporting producer fulfilled all of the conditions for granting MET.
(17)
In order to establish normal value, it was first verified whether the total domestic sales of the exporting producer were representative in accordance with Article 2(2) of the Basic Regulation, i.e. that they accounted for 5 % or more of the total sales volume of the product concerned exported to the Community.
(18)
In view of the above requirements, the investigation revealed that domestic sales of the exporting producer could not be considered representative and the normal value therefore had to be constructed in accordance with Article 2(3) of the basic Regulation, thus calculated based on the cost of production in the exporting country plus a reasonable amount for selling, general and administrative costs and profits.
(19)
The normal value was accordingly established based on the exporting producer's own data for the cost of manufacturing (COM) for production destined for domestic consumption.
(20)
Conversely, the amount for selling general and administrative expenses (SGA) and profits could not be established in accordance with the chapeau of Article 2(6) of the Basic Regulation on actual data pertaining to production and sales in the ordinary course of trade of the product concerned.
(21)
It was examined whether SGA and profit could be established in accordance with Article 2(6)(a) and (b). However, since no other exporter were investigated in this review the methodology in Article 2(6)(a) namely the weighted average of the actual amounts of other exporters could not be used. Similarly, the methodology in Article 2(6)(b) was not appropriate since there were no sales in the domestic market of products belonging to the same category.
(22)
Consequently, the Commission calculated a weighted average using the SGA expenses and profit rates from two cooperating exporting producers in the analogue country used in the expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation and that had domestic sales in the ordinary course of trade. The SGA expenses and profit average rates found in these cooperating South Korean exporting producers were added to the cost of manufacturing incurred by the exporting producer in question with regard to the exported types as stipulated by Article 2(3) of the basic Regulation.
(23)
The exporting producer made export sales to the Community both directly to independent customers and via related importers in a third country and the Community. In all cases where the product concerned was exported to independent customers in the Community, the export price was established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation, namely on the basis of export prices actually paid or payable.
(24)
In cases where sales were made via a related importer or trader, the export price was constructed on the basis of the resale prices of that related importer to independent customers. Adjustments were made for all costs incurred between importation and resale including sales, general and administrative expenses, and a reasonable profit margin, in accordance with Article 2(9) of the basic Regulation. The appropriate profit margin was established on the basis of information provided by unrelated cooperating traders/importers operating on the Community market.
(25)
For the purpose of ensuring a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences affecting prices and price comparability in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation. For the investigated exporting producer, allowances for differences in transport costs, ocean freight and insurance costs, handling, loading and ancillary costs, packing costs, credit costs, warranty and guarantee costs and commissions have been granted where applicable and justified.
(26)
With regard to the credit cost allowance, the exporting producer claims that the deposit rate instead of the credit rate should be used on the grounds that, the company having sufficient liquidity, its credit costs are limited to the interest earnings not perceived on its bank deposit account.
(27)
Following the practice consistently applied by the Community institutions, it was not found appropriate to base the calculation of the credit cost allowance on the deposit rate on the grounds that these constitute opportunity costs as compared to actual costs.
(28)
In this context it is noted that the interest customers would have to pay in case of payment delays suggest that the company determined such interests on the basis of credit rates rather than deposit rates.
(29)
As provided by Article 2(11) and (12) of the basic Regulation, the weighted average normal values of each type of the product concerned exported to the Community were compared to the weighted average export price of each corresponding type of the product concerned. This comparison showed the existence of a dumping margin below de minimis for the exporting producer that exported to the Community in the RIP.
D. CONCLUSION
(30)
On this basis, it was concluded that, the circumstances with regard to dumping on the basis on which measures were established for the company in the original investigation has not changed. The partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation should therefore be terminated.
E. TERMINATION OF THE REVIEW
(31)
Based on the above considerations, the partial interim review concerning Lisheng Electronic & Lighting (Xiamen) Co., Ltd should be terminated without any amendment to Regulation (EC) No 1205/2007.
(32)
Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on which basis the Commission proposed to terminate this proceeding. Views made known were then examined but were not such as alter the above conclusions,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of integrated electronic compact fluorescent discharge lamps manufactured by Lisheng Electronic & Lighting (Xiamen) Co., Ltd and originating in the People's Republic of China, initiated pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, is hereby terminated without any amendment to Regulation (EC) No 1205/2007.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following 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.

DECISION No 1926/2006/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 18 December 2006
establishing a programme of Community action in the field of consumer policy (2007-2013)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 153 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),
Whereas:
(1)
The Community can contribute to protecting the health, safety and economic and legal interests of citizens through actions in the field of consumer protection.
(2)
It is therefore appropriate to establish a programme of Community action in the field of consumer policy, replacing Decision No 20/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 December 2003 establishing a general framework for financing Community actions in support of consumer policy for the years 2004 to 2007 (4). That Decision should therefore be repealed.
(3)
Integrating consumer interests in all Community policies, in accordance with Article 153 of the Treaty, should be given high priority, together with the consumer policy objectives set out in this programme. Coordination with other Community policies and programmes is a key part of ensuring that consumer interests are taken fully into account in other policies. In order to promote synergies and avoid duplication, other Community funds and programmes should provide for financial support for the integration of consumer interests in their respective fields.
(4)
This Decision lays down, for the entire duration of the programme, a financial envelope constituting the prime reference, within the meaning of point 37 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (5), for the budgetary authority during the annual budgetary procedure.
(5)
It is of general European interest that the health and safety aspects of services and non-food products and the economic and legal interests of citizens, as well as consumers' interests in the development of standards for products and services, be represented at Community level. Given the particular nature of the organisations concerned, the renewal of Community support for the functioning of such organisations should not be subject to the principle of gradual decrease of the extent of Community support.
(6)
It is appropriate to ensure a transition between this programme and the programme it replaces, in particular regarding the continuation of multi-annual measures and the evaluation of the previous programme's successes and areas that need more attention. As of 1 January 2014, the technical and administrative assistance appropriations should cover, if necessary, the expenditure related to the management of actions not completed by the end of 2013.
(7)
The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (6).
(8)
Implementation of the programme should take into account the fact that the internal market will not function properly if consumers are less well protected in some Member States than in others. The programme should therefore focus especially on consumer protection and consumer awareness in the Member States which have acceded on or after 1 May 2004, in order to ensure a level playing field for all Member States.
(9)
The Agreement on the European Economic Area (hereinafter referred to as ‘the EEA Agreement’) provides for cooperation in the field of consumer protection between the European Community and its Member States, on the one hand, and the countries of the European Free Trade Association participating in the European Economic Area (hereinafter referred to as ‘the EFTA/EEA countries’), on the other. Provision should also be made to open the programme to participation by other countries, in particular the neighbouring countries of the European Union and countries which are applying for, are candidates for, or are acceding to, membership of the European Union.
(10)
In the context of the implementation of the programme, cooperation with third countries not participating in the programme should be encouraged, taking into account any relevant agreements between those countries and the Community.
(11)
The value and impact of the measures taken under the programme should be regularly monitored and evaluated, including by independent external evaluators. For the purposes of evaluating consumer policy, measurable objectives should be formulated and indicators developed.
(12)
Since the objectives of this Decision cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States due to the cross-border nature of the issues involved, and can therefore by reason of the greater potential of Community action efficiently and effectively to protect the health, safety and economic and legal interests of citizens be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,
HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
Establishment of the programme
A programme of Community action in the field of consumer policy covering the period from 31 December 2006 to 31 December 2013, hereinafter referred to as ‘the Programme’, is hereby established.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 94/76/EC of 22 December 1994 amending Directive 77/388/EEC by the introduction of transitional measures applicable, in the context of the enlargement of the European Union on 1 January 1995, as regards value added tax
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the 1994 Accession Treaty, and in particular Articles 2 and 3 thereof, and the 1994 act of Accession, and in particular Article 169 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, subject to the special provisions set out in Chapter IX of Annex XV to the Act of Accession, the common system of value added tax is to apply to the new Member States as from the date on which the Accession Treaty enters into force;
Whereas, as a result of the abolition on that date of the imposition of tax on importation and remission of tax on exportation in trade between the Community as constituted at present and the new Member States, and between the new Member States themselves, transitional measures are necessary to safeguard the neutrality of the common system of value added tax and prevent situations of double taxation or non-taxation;
Whereas such measures must, in this respect, meet concerns akin to those that led to the measures adopted on completion of the internal market on 1 January 1993, and in particular the provisions of Article 28n of Council Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to turn-over taxes - Common system of value added tax: uniform basis of assessment (1);
Whereas, in the customs sphere, goods will be deemed to be in free circulation in the enlarged Community where it is shown that they were in free circulation in the current Community or in one of the new Member States at the time of accession; whereas conclusions should be drawn from this, particularly for Article 7 (1) and (3) and Article 10 (3) of Directive 77/388/EEC;
Whereas it is necessary in particular to cover situations in which goods have been placed, prior to accession, under one of the arrangements referred to in Article 16 (1) (B) (a) to (d), under a temporary admission procedure with full exemption from import duties or under a similar procedure in the new Member States;
Whereas it is also necessary to lay down specific arrangements for cases where a special procedure (export or transit), initiated prior to the entry into force of the Accession Treaty in the framework of trade between the current Community and the new Member States and between those Member States for the purposes of a supply effected prior to that date by a taxable person acting as such, is not terminated until after the date of accession,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

the provisions in force at the moment the goods were placed under that regime shall continue to apply until the goods leave this regime, after the date of accession.
3. When goods:
- were placed, before the date of accession, under the common transit procedure or under another customs transit procedure, and - have not left that procedure before the date of accession,
the provisions in force at the moment the goods were placed under that procedure shall continue to apply until the goods leave this procedure, after the date of accession.
For the purposes of the first indent, 'common transit procedure` shall mean the measures for the transport of goods in transit between the Community and the countries of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and between the EFTA countries themselves, as provided for in the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure (1).
4. The following shall be deemed to be an importation of goods within the meaning of Article 7 (1) where it is shown that the goods were in free circulation in one of the new Member States or in the Community:
(a) the removal, including irregular removal, of goods from a temporary admission procedure under which they were placed before the date of accession under the conditions set out in paragraph 2;
(b) the removal, including irregular removal, of goods either from one of the regimes referred to in Article 16 (1) (B) (a) to (d) or from a similar regime under which they were placed before the date of accession under the conditions set out in paragraph 2;

(d) any irregularity or offence committed during one of the procedures referred to in paragraph 3 under the conditions set out at (c).
5. The use after the date of accession within a Member State, by a taxable or non-taxable person, of goods supplied to him before the date of accession within the Community or one of the new Member States shall also be deemed to be an importation of goods within the meaning of Article 7 (1) where the following conditions are met:
- the supply of those goods has been exempted, or was likely to be exempted, either under Article 15 (1) and (2) or under a similar provision in the new Member States,
- the goods were not imported into one of the new Member States or into the Community before the date of accession.
6. In the cases referred to in paragraph 4, the place of import within the meaning of Article 7 (3) shall be the Member State within whose territory the goods cease to be covered by the regime under which they were placed before the date of accession.
7. By way of derogation from Article 10 (3), the importation of goods within the meaning of paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Article shall terminate without the occurrence of a chargeable event when:
(a) the imported goods are dispatched or transported outside the enlarged Community; or (b) the imported goods within the meaning of paragraph 4 (a) are other than means of transport and are redispatched or transported to the Member State from which they were exported and to the person who exported them; or (c) the imported goods within the meaning of paragraph 4 (a) are means of transport which were acquired or imported before the date of accession in accordance with the general conditions of taxation in force on the domestic market of one of the new Member States or of one of the Member States of the Community and/or have not been subject, by reason of their exportation, to any exemption from, or refund of, value added tax.
This condition shall be deemed to be fulfilled when the date of the first use of the means of transport was before 1 January 1987 or when the amount of tax due by reason of the importation is insignificant.
(1) OJ No L 226, 13. 8. 1987, p. 2.`

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 833/2006
of 2 June 2006
fixing the compensatory aid for bananas produced and marketed in the Community in 2005 and the unit value of the advances for 2006
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 of 13 February 1993 on the common organisation of the market in bananas (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 12(6) and Article 14 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Under Article 12(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, compensatory aid to Community producers for any loss of income is calculated on the basis of the difference between the flat-rate reference income and the average production income from bananas produced and marketed in the Community during the year in question.
(2)
Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93 of 9 July 1993 laying down detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 as regards the aid scheme to compensate for loss of income from marketing in the banana sector (2) fixes the flat-rate reference income at EUR 64,03 per 100 kilograms net weight of green bananas ex-packing shed.
(3)
In 2005, the average production income, calculated on the basis of the average of the prices for bananas marketed outside the producer regions at the stage of delivery at first port of unloading (goods not unloaded), on the one hand, and the selling prices on local markets for bananas marketed in their producer region, on the other, less the flat-rate amounts laid down in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, was less than the flat-rate reference income fixed for 2005. The compensatory aid to be granted in respect of 2005 should be fixed accordingly.
(4)
Under the second subparagraph of Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93, supplementary aid is granted in one or more producer regions where the average income from production is significantly lower than the average for the Community.
(5)
The annual average production income from the marketing of bananas produced in Martinique, Guadeloupe and Greece has proved to be significantly lower than the Community average during 2005. As a result, supplementary aid should be granted in the producer regions of Martinique, Guadeloupe and Greece. In view of the data for 2005, which point to very difficult production and marketing conditions, supplementary aid covering 75 % of the difference between the average income in the Community and the average income recorded on selling products in these regions should be fixed.
(6)
The unit amount of the advances and the amount of the relevant security are established, in accordance with Article 4(2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, on the basis of the aid fixed for the preceding year.
(7)
Given that not all the necessary data were available, it has not hitherto been possible to determine the compensatory aid for 2005. Provision should be made for the balance of the aid for 2005 and of the advances for bananas marketed during January and February 2006 to be paid within two months of the entry into force of this Regulation.
(8)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Bananas,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The compensatory aid provided for in Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 404/93 for fresh bananas falling within CN code ex 0803, excluding plantain bananas, produced and marketed in the Community in 2005 shall be EUR 5,90 per 100 kilograms.
2. The aid fixed in paragraph 1 shall be increased by EUR 11,27 per 100 kilograms for bananas produced in Martinique, by EUR 12,12 per 100 kilograms for bananas produced in Guadeloupe and by EUR 7,76 per 100 kilograms for bananas produced in Greece.
Article 2
The advance for bananas marketed from January to December 2006 shall amount to EUR 4,13 per 100 kilograms. The relevant security shall be EUR 2,06 per 100 kilograms.
Article 3
Notwithstanding Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93, the competent authorities of the Member States shall pay the balance of the compensatory aid to be granted in respect of 2005 and the advance for bananas marketed during January and February 2006 within two months of the entry into force of this Regulation, after the verifications provided for in Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1858/93.
Article 4
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.

COUNCIL DECISION
of 2 December 2004
establishing the European Refugee Fund for the period 2005 to 2010
(2004/904/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 63(2)(b) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Whereas:
(1)
A common policy on asylum, including a Common European Asylum System, is a constituent part of the European Union’s objective of progressively establishing an area of freedom, security and justice open to those who, forced by circumstances, legitimately seek protection in the European Union.
(2)
Implementation of this policy should be based on solidarity between Member States and requires the existence of mechanisms to promote a balance of effort between Member States in receiving and bearing the consequences of receiving refugees and displaced persons. To that end, a European Refugee Fund was established for the period 2000 to 2004 by Decision 2000/596/EC (3).
(3)
It is necessary to establish a European Refugee Fund (the Fund) for the period 2005 to 2010 to ensure continued solidarity between Member States in the light of recently adopted Community legislation in the field of asylum, taking account of the experience acquired when implementing the first phase of the Fund for the period 2000 to 2004.
(4)
It is necessary to support the efforts made by Member States to grant appropriate reception conditions to refugees and displaced persons and to apply fair and effective asylum procedures so as to protect the rights of persons requiring international protection.
(5)
The integration of refugees into the society of the country in which they are established is one of the objectives of the Geneva Convention of 28 July 1951 relating to the Status of Refugees, as supplemented by the New York Protocol of 31 January 1967. Such persons must be enabled to share the values set out in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. To this end, there should be support for action by Member States to promote their social, economic and cultural integration in so far as it contributes to economic and social cohesion, the maintenance and strengthening of which is one of the Community's fundamental objectives provided for by Articles 2 and 3(1)(k) of the Treaty.
(6)
It is in the interests of both Member States and the persons concerned that refugees and displaced persons who are allowed to stay in the territory of the Member States should be given the opportunity to provide for themselves by working in accordance with the provisions of the related Community instruments.
(7)
Since measures supported by the Structural Funds and other Community measures in the field of education and vocational training are not in themselves sufficient to promote such integration, support should be given for special measures to enable refugees and displaced persons to benefit fully from the programmes which are organised.
(8)
Practical support is needed to create or improve conditions enabling refugees and displaced persons to take an informed decision to leave the territory of the Member States and return home, should they so wish.
(9)
Action involving bodies of two or more Member States and action of Community interest in this field should be eligible for support by the Fund, and exchanges between Member States should be encouraged with a view to identifying and promoting the most effective practices.
(10)
A financial reserve should be established for the implementation of emergency measures to provide temporary protection in the event of a mass influx of refugees pursuant to Council Directive 2001/55/EC of 20 July 2001 on minimum standards for giving temporary protection in the event of a mass influx of displaced persons and on measures promoting a balance of efforts between Member States in receiving such persons and bearing the consequences thereof (4).
(11)
With a view to establishing financial solidarity in an effective and proportionate way and taking account of the experience acquired when the Fund was implemented between 2000 and 2004, the Commission's responsibilities and those of the Member States for the implementation and management of the Fund should be delineated. Member States should designate appropriate national authorities for that purpose, the duties of which should be set out.
(12)
The support provided by the Fund will be more efficient and better targeted if co-financing of eligible actions is based on two multiannual programmes and on an annual work programme drawn up by each Member State taking into account its situation and needs.
(13)
It is fair to allocate resources proportionately to the burden on each Member State by reason of its efforts in receiving refugees and displaced persons, including refugees enjoying international protection within the framework of national programmes.
(14)
The measures necessary for the implementation of this Decision should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (5).
(15)
Efficient monitoring is one way of ensuring that the actions supported by the Fund are effective. The conditions governing monitoring should be determined.
(16)
Without prejudice to the Commission’s responsibilities for financial control, cooperation between Member States and the Commission should be established in that regard.
(17)
Member States should provide sufficient guarantees as regards arrangements for implementation and quality of execution. The responsibility of Member States for pursuing and correcting irregularities and infringements, and the responsibility of the Commission where Member States do not comply with their obligations, should be specified.
(18)
The effectiveness and impact of actions supported by the Fund also depend on their evaluation. The responsibilities of Member States and the Commission in this regard, and arrangements to ensure the reliability of evaluation, should be clearly defined.
(19)
Actions should be evaluated with a view to a mid-term review and assessment of their impact, and the evaluation process should be incorporated into project-monitoring arrangements.
(20)
Since the objective of this Decision, namely to promote a balance of effort between Member States in receiving refugees and displaced persons, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Decision does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve this objective.
(21)
In accordance with Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, the United Kingdom has notified its wish to take part in the adoption and application of this Decision.
(22)
In accordance with Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Ireland has notified its wish to take part in the adoption and application of this Decision.
(23)
In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it nor subject to its application,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

The Commission may require the Member State concerned to carry out an on-the-spot check to verify the correctness of one or more transactions. Commission officials or servants may take part in such checks.
2. If, after completing the necessary verifications, the Commission concludes that a Member State is not complying with its obligations under Article 25, it shall suspend the pre-financing or final payment relating to co-financing from the Fund for the relevant annual programmes in cases where:
(a)
a Member State is not implementing the actions as agreed in the co-financing decision; or
(b)
all or part of an action justifies neither part nor the whole of the co-financing from the Fund; or
(c)
there are serious deficiencies in management and control systems that could give rise to systemic irregularities.
In those cases, the Commission shall, stating its reasons, request the Member State to submit its comments and, where appropriate, to carry out any corrections within a specified period of time.
3. At the end of the period set by the Commission, the Commission may, if no agreement has been reached and the Member State has not made the corrections, and taking account of any comments made by the Member State, decide within three months to:
(a)
reduce the pre-financing or final payments; or
(b)
make the financial corrections required by cancelling all or part of the contribution of the Fund to the actions in question.
In the absence of a decision pursuant to either (a) or (b), the payments shall immediately cease to be suspended.
4. Any sum received unduly or to be recovered shall be repaid to the Commission. If the amount owed has not been repaid by the deadline set by the Commission, it shall bear interest at the rate applied by the European Central Bank to its principal refinancing operations in euros, plus three and a half points. The reference rate to which the increase applies shall be the rate in force on the first day of the month of the final date for payment, as published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union.
5. The Commission, acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 11(3), shall adopt rules and procedures for financial corrections made by the Commission in connection with actions implemented in the Member States under Articles 5, 6 and 7 and co-financed by the Fund.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 38/2007
of 17 January 2007
opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale for export of sugar held by the intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Articles 40(1)(g) and 40(2)(d) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 39(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 of 29 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards the management of the Community market in sugar and the quota system (2) provides that the intervention agencies may sell sugar only after a decision to that effect has been adopted by the Commission.
(2)
Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden have intervention stocks of sugar. In order to respond to market needs, it is appropriate to open a standing invitation to tender to make these stocks available for export.
(3)
In order to prevent any abuse associated with the re-import or re-introduction into the Community of sugar sector products that have qualified for export refunds, no export refund should be fixed for the countries of the western Balkans.
(4)
To take account of the situation on the Community market, provision should be made for the Commission to fix a maximum export refund for each partial invitation to tender.
(5)
The intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden should communicate the tenders to the Commission. The tenderers should remain anonymous.
(6)
Pursuant to Article 42(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006, the price to be paid by the successful tenderer should be determined by the invitation to tender.
(7)
Pursuant to Article 42(2)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006, it is appropriate to determine the period of validity of the export licences.
(8)
In order to ensure proper management of sugar in storage, provision should be made for a communication from the Member States to the Commission on the quantities actually sold and exported.
(9)
The second paragraph of Article 59 of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 provides that Commission Regulation (EC) No 1262/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards the buying-in and sale of sugar by intervention agencies (3) continues to apply to sugar accepted into intervention before 10 February 2006. However, for the resale of intervention sugar, this distinction is unnecessary and its implementation would create administrative difficulties for the Member States. It is therefore appropriate to exclude the application of Regulation (EC) No 1262/2001 to the resale of intervention sugar pursuant to this Regulation.
(10)
The quantities available for a Member State that can be awarded when the Commission fixes the maximum export refund should take into account the quantities awarded pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1039/2006 of 7 July 2006 opening a standing invitation to tender for the resale on the Community market of sugar held by the intervention agencies of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia and Sweden (4).

The Management Committee for Sugar has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Where an award at a maximum export refund set pursuant to paragraph 1 would result in that reduced available quantity for a lot being exceeded, that award shall be limited to that reduced available quantity.
Where awards for a Member State to all tenderers offering the same export refund for one lot would result in that reduced available quantity for that lot being exceeded, that reduced available quantity shall be awarded as follows:
(a)
by division among the tenderers concerned in proportion of the total quantities in each of their tenders; or
(b)
by apportionment among the tenderers concerned by reference to a maximum tonnage fixed for each of them; or
(c)
by drawing of lots.
3. The price to be paid by the successful tenderer in accordance with article 42(1)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 shall be EUR 632 per tonne for white sugar and EUR 497 per tonne for raw sugar.
Article 5
1. Export licence applications and licences shall contain in box 20 one of the entries listed in Annex III.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 470/93 of 25 February 1993 temporarily suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duty and the agricultural levy on, and opening and providing for the administration of a Community tariff quota for, certain mixtures of malt sprouts and barley screenings
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the products referred to in Article 1 have been imported, free of duty and for several years, from the United States into the Community, and classified under CN code 2303 30 00;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3802/92 (1) has recently classified the products in question under CN code 2309 90 31 or under CN code 2309 90 41, as appropriate, which provide for collection of the levy;
Whereas it is appropriate to adopt measures to avoid a sudden disturbance to trade in the products in question, for the period from 1 January 1992 to 31 March 1993;
Whereas, for the period from 1 January to 31 December 1992, collection of the Common Customs Tariff duties and the agricultural levies for the goods in question should be suspended;
Whereas, in order to avoid any undue increase in the quantities imported free of duty, it is appropriate to open a duty-free tariff quota of 35 000 tonnes for the period from 1 January to 31 March 1993;
Whereas it is necessary, in particular, to ensure for all Community importers equal and uninterrupted access to the said quota and to guarantee the uninterrupted application of the exoneration from collection of the duties to all imports of the products concerned into all Member States until the quota has been used up;
Whereas the decision to open autonomous suspensions and tariff quotas should be taken by the Community; whereas, to ensure the efficiency of a common administration of this quota, there is, however, no obstacle to authorizing the Member States to draw from the quota volume the necessary quantities corresponding to actual imports; whereas this method of administration nevertheless requires close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission and the latter must in particular be able to monitor the rate at which the quotas are used up and inform the Member States accordingly;
Whereas, since the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are united within, and jointly represented by, the Benelux Economic Union, all transactions concerning the administration of the quotas may be carried out by any one of its members,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
From 1 January to 31 December 1992, the customs duties and agricultural levies applicable to imports of the products listed below shall be suspended:
ex 2309 90 31 Preparation consisting of a mixture of malt sprouts and barley screenings before the malting process (possibly including other seeds) with barley cleanings after the malting process, and containing by weight 15,5 % or more of protein ex 2309 90 41 Preparation consisting of a mixture of malt sprouts and barley screenings before the malting process (possibly including other seeds) with barley cleanings after the malting process, and containing by weight 15,5 % or more of protein and not more than 18 % of starch (1) Taric codes: ex 2309 90 31 * 10
ex 2309 90 41 * 30
Article 2
From 1 January to 31 March 1993, the customs duties and the agricultural levies applicable to imports of the products listed below shall be suspended, within the limits of a Community tariff quota of 35 000 tonnes:
09.2901 ex 2309 90 31 Preparation consisting of a mixture of malt sprouts and barley screenings before the malting process (possibly including other seeds) with barley cleanings after the malting process, and containing by weight 15,5 % or more of protein ex 2309 90 41 Preparation consisting of a mixture of malt sprouts and barley screenings before the malting process (possibly including other seeds) with barley cleanings after the malting process, and containing by weight 15,5 % or more of protein and not more than 18 % of starch (1) Taric codes: ex 2309 90 31 * 10
ex 2309 90 41 * 30
Article 3
The tariff quota referred to in Article 2 shall be managed by the Commission, which may take any appropriate administrative measures to ensure that it is managed efficiently.
Article 4
Where an importer presents a product covered by Article 2 for release for free circulation in a Member State, applying to take advantage of the preferential arrangements, and the entry is accepted by the customs authorities, the Member State concerned shall, by notifying the Commission, draw an amount corresponding to its requirements from the appropriate quota volume.
Requests for drawings, indicating the date on which the entries were accepted, must be sent to the Commission without delay.
Drawings shall be granted by the Commission in chronological order of the dates on which the customs authorities of the Member States concerned accepted the entries for release for free circulation, to the extent that the available balance so permits.
If a Member State does not use a drawing in full, it shall return any unused portion to the corresponding quota volume as soon as possible.
If the quantities requested are greater than the available balance of the quota volume, the balance shall be allocated among applicants pro rata. The Commission shall inform the Member States of the drawings made.
Article 5
Each Member State shall ensure that importers of the products listed in Article 2 have equal and continuous access to the quotas for as long as the balance of the relevant quota volume so permits.
Article 6
The Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that Articles 2 to 5 are complied with.
Article 7
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
Article 1
shall be applicable from 1 January 1992 and Article 2 shall be applicable from 1 January 1993.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 789/89
of 20 March 1989
instituting specific measures for nuts and locust beans and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the situation on the market for nuts, that is essentially that for almonds, hazelnuts or filberts, walnuts and pistachios, is markedly out of step with technical and commercial requirements from the point of view of both technical production conditions, which are typified by a large number of small holdings and a low level of mechanization, leading in turn to low productivity and high costs, and marketing conditions;
Whereas the same situation is a feature of locust bean cultivation; whereas, in certain regions of the Community, such cultivation is closely linked to orchards producing nuts and may be amalgamated with nut cultivation to constitute one homogenous plantation; whereas therefore the measures introduced for nuts should be extended to cover locust beans;
Whereas the formation of producers' organizations, placing an obligation on their members to comply with rules adopted by the organizations in order to improve product quality and to adapt the volume of supply to market requirements, would be a suitable way of remedying the said structural deficiencies; whereas provisions for facilitating the formation and operation of such organizations should be adopted;
Whereas an incentive of this kind can be provided in the first instance by granting a flat-rate aid for the formation of these organizations which would be paid at the end of the first and second marketing year following the date of an organization's specific recognition by the appropriate Member State, and in addition to the aid provided for in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2238/88 (3); whereas provisions should be made for the Community to co-finance this scheme by paying 50 % of the aid granted by the Member State;
Whereas, in order to allow producers' organizations which produce and market nuts and/or locust beans to concentrate supplies, to stagger the release on to the market of their products, particularly by creating the appropriate storage capacity, and to improve product quality, the creation of revolving funds for these organizations should be encouraged; whereas such an incentive could be provided by financial contributions from the Member State and from the Community to setting up such revolving funds, with a ceiling determined with reference to the value of the products marketed by the producers' organizations over a given marketing year;
Whereas in the interests of further encouraging producers who are members of an organization to modernize their orchards in order to meet market requirements, the granting of aid for the formation of an organization and for the creation of a revolving fund should be made conditional on presentation of a quality and marketing improvement plan which must be approved by the national authorities designated by the Member States; whereas, in order to be consistent with the aims of the scheme, this plan must seek primarily to bring about a genetic and cultural improvement of products grown in plantations which are given over to producing one homogenous product and are not scattered among other plantations; whereas a specific aid should be granted for the drawing up of such a plan and should be co-financed by the Member States and the Community; whereas the level of the aid should nevertheless be restricted and the aid itself temporary and degressive to allow a progressive shift of financial responsibility on to the producers;
Whereas, in the interests of bringing the products to the attention of all existing and potential users, promoting marketing which is in line with market needs and giving impetus to the activity of nut producers' organizations, provision should be made for the Community to contribute to the financing of measures to develop and improve the consumption and use of these products;
Whereas it is appropriate to include locust beans among the products covered by the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables and to amend Council Regulation (EEC) No 827/68 of 28 June 1968 on the common organization of the markets in certain products listed in Annex II to the Treaty (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3911/87 (5),
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The following is added to Article 1 (2):
1.2 // // // 'CN code // Description // // // 1212 10 10 // Locust beans' // //
2. The following indent is added to the first subparagraph of Article 1 (3):
'- nuts, fresh or dried, and locust beans from 1 September to 31 August.'
3. The following Title is inserted:
'TITLE IIa
Specific measures for nuts and locust beans
Article 14a
The measures provided for by this Title shall apply to:
- almonds falling within CN codes 0802 11 90 and 0802 12 90,
- hazelnuts or filberts falling within CN codes 0802 21 00 and 0802 22 00,
- walnuts falling within CN codes 0802 31 00 and 0802 32 00,
- pistachios falling within CN code 0802 50 00,
- locust beans falling within CN code 1212 10 10.
Article 14b
1. Without prejudice to Article 14, Member States shall grant an additional flat-rate aid, as an incentive to formation, to producers' organizations whose economic activity centres on the production and marketing of nuts and/or locust beans and which have presented a quality and marketing improvement plan approved by the competent national authorities pursuant to Article 14d.
The aid shall be granted to producers' organizations recognized by the competent national authority under the provisions of this Article.
2. The level of the aid referred to in paragraph 1 shall be calculated according to the quantity of nuts and/or locust beans marketed by the producers' organization during the first marketing year which follows the date of its specific recognition, as referred to in paragraph 1. A single amount of aid shall be fixed for each quantity tranche. The aid shall be paid at the end of the first and second marketing years which follow recognition.
The aid granted shall be refunded by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guidance Section, at a rate of 50 %.
3. The Member States shall notify to the Commission details of the producers' organizations recognized under this Article, giving their membership figures and the quantities marketed by each during the first marketing year.
4. The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, shall determine the size of the tranches referred to in paragraph 2 and the amount of aid to apply within the span of each tranche.
Article 14c
1. Member States shall grant a specific aid to producers' organizations which set up a revolving fund in accordance with this Article and which have presented a quality and marketing improvement plan approved by the competent national authorities pursuant to Article 14d.
2. The revolving fund shall be used to stabilize supply by providing funding for the storage needed to allow an appropriate timing of sales on the market, and to permit an improvement in packaging in the interests of better marketing. The producers' organization shall use the fund in particular to finance storage, sorting, cracking and packaging.
3. The specific aid shall be paid once only, subject to the fund being financed as follows:
- 45 % by the producers' organization,
- 10 % by the Member State.
The Community contribution shall be 45 % of the capital of the fund. However, the overall financial commitment of the Member State and the Community may not exceed 16,5 % of the value of the production marketed by the producers' organization in one marketing year.
Article 14d
1. Producers' organizations shall qualify for the aid provided for in Articles 14b and 14c provided they present a quality and marketing improvement plan approved by the competent authorities of the appropriate Member State.
The plan referred to in the first subparagraph shall have as its primary aim the improvement, by means of varietal conversion or cultural improvement, of the quality of produce from orchards which are given over to producing one homogenous crop and are not scattered among other plantations and, where needed, the improvement of marketing. It shall implement the types of measures adopted according to the procedure referred to in Article 33. 2. The approved plan shall qualify for Community aid of 45 % for its execution provided it is funded to a level of 45 % by the producers' organizations and a level of 10 % by the Member State.
Funding from the Member State and aid from the Community shall nevertheless be subject to a ceiling. The ceiling shall be determined on the basis of the area of a crop which is not scattered among other plantations and on the basis of a maximum amount per hectare.
Funding from the Member State and aid from the Community shall be paid over a period of 10 years. The maximum level shall progressively decrease.
3. Acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, the Council shall fix:
- the maximum amount per hectare imposed on funding from the Member State and aid from the Community,
- the rate at which funding from the Member State and aid from the Community shall decrease.
4. Member States shall forward to the Commission the plans submitted to them by the producers' organizations. These plans may be approved by the competent authority of the Member State only after they have been forwarded to the Commission, and once a 60-day period, during which the Commission may request changes or rejection, has elapsed.
Article 14e
1. The Community shall provide 50 % of the funding for measures aimed at developing and improving the consumption and use of nuts and/or locust beans in the Community.
2. The measures referred to in paragraph 1 shall have as their aim:
- to promote product quality, particularly by means of market research and research into new product uses, including ways to adapt the products to the findings of this research,
- the development of new packaging methods,
- the dissemination of marketing advice to the various economic operators in the sector,
- organization of, and participation in, trade fairs and other events.
3. Following the procedure referred to in Article 33, the Commission shall give details of the measures referred to in paragraph 2 or shall define new measures.
Article 14f
1. The aid provided for in Articles 14c, 14d and 14e shall be deemed to be intervention intended to stabilize the agricultural markets within the meaning of Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2048/88 (2).
2. As regards the aid referred to in pargraph 1, the Commission may, at the request of the interested Member State and in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, decide to pay an initial part of allocations on the basis of the quality and marketing improvement plans approved by the Member States.
Article 14g
The Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 33, adopt detailed rules for the application of this Title. These rules shall include measures of a kind which will enable use of the financial contribution provided by the Community to be monitored.

Directive 2003/102/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 17 November 2003
relating to the protection of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users before and in the event of a collision with a motor vehicle and amending Council Directive 70/156/EEC
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee(1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(2),
Whereas:
(1) In order to reduce the number of road accident casualties in the Community, it is necessary to introduce measures so as to improve the protection of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users before and in the event of a collision with the front of a motor vehicle.
(2) A package of passive and active measures for improving safety (avoidance of accidents and reduction of secondary effects by traffic calming and infrastructure improvements) for vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, is urgently needed in the framework of the road safety action programme.
(3) The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital must be ensured and to that end a Community type-approval system for motor vehicles is in place; the technical requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to pedestrian protection should be harmonised to avoid the adoption of requirements that differ from one Member State to another and to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market.
(4) Pedestrian protection objectives can be achieved by a combination of active and passive safety measures; the recommendations by the European Enhanced Vehicle-Safety Committee (EEVC) of June 1999 are the subject of a wide consensus in this area; those recommendations propose performance requirements for the frontal structures of certain categories of motor vehicles to reduce their aggressiveness; this Directive presents tests and limit values based on the EEVC recommendations.
(5) The Commission should examine the feasibility of extending the scope of this Directive to vehicles with a maximum mass of up to 3,5 tonnes, and report its findings to the European Parliament and to the Council.
(6) This Directive should be considered as one element of a broader package of measures, to be undertaken by the Community, the industry and the relevant authorities of the Member States, on the basis of exchanges in best practice, in order to address pre-crash (active), in-crash (passive), and post-crash safety of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users, with respect to road users, vehicles and infrastructure.
(7) In view of the speed of technological development in this area, alternative measures at least equivalent in terms of actual effectiveness to the requirements of this Directive - either passive or a combination of active and passive measures - may be proposed by the industry and shall be assessed following a feasibility study carried out by independent experts by 1 July 2004; the introduction of alternative measures at least equivalent in terms of actual effectiveness would require adapting or amending this Directive.
(8) Because of the ongoing research and technical progress in the area of pedestrian protection, it is appropriate to introduce a degree of flexibility in this field. Accordingly, this Directive should establish the fundamental provisions regarding pedestrian protection in the form of tests to be complied with by new types of vehicles and by new vehicles. The technical prescriptions for the application of such tests should be adopted by Commission decision.
(9) The rapidly advancing technology in active safety means that collision mitigation and avoidance systems could provide major safety benefits, for example in reducing collision speed and adjusting impact direction. The development of such technologies should be encouraged by this Directive.
(10) The associations representing the European, Japanese and Korean motor vehicle manufacturers have made commitments to start applying the EEVC recommendations concerning limit values and tests, or agreed alternative measures of at least equivalent effect, as from 2010, and a first set of limit values and tests as from 2005 to new types of vehicles and to apply the first set of tests to 80 % of all new vehicles as from 1 July 2010, to 90 % of all new vehicles as from 1 July 2011 and to all new vehicles as from 31 December 2012.
(11) This Directive should also contribute to establishing a high level of protection in the context of the international harmonisation of legislation in this area, which started under the 1998 Agreement of the UN/ECE concerning the establishment of global technical regulations for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or be used on wheeled vehicles.
(12) This Directive is one of the separate Directives which have to be complied with in order to conform to the EC type-approval procedure established by 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(3).
(13) Directive 70/156/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
1. This Directive shall apply to the frontal surfaces of vehicles.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 214/2001
of 12 January 2001
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards intervention on the market in skimmed-milk powder
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1040/2000(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 replaced Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68(3) and also, inter alia, Council Regulation (EEC) No 777/87(4) dealing with the buying-in arrangements for butter and skimmed-milk powder. In view of those new arrangements and in the light of the experience gained, the detailed rules governing intervention on the market in skimmed-milk powder should be amended. In the interests of clarity, therefore, the recasting of the specific regulations which previously governed the various aspects of intervention, namely Commission Regulations (EEC) No 2213/76 of 10 September 1976 on the sale of skimmed-milk powder from public storage(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2080/96(6), (EEC) No 1362/87 of 18 May 1987 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 777/87 with respect to the buying-in and the granting of aid for the private storage of skimmed-milk powder(7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 569/96(8), (EEC) No 1158/91 of 3 May 1991 on the buying-in by tender of skimmed-milk powder to intervention agencies(9), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 124/1999(10), and (EC) No 322/96 of 22 February 1996 laying down detailed rules of application for the public storage of skimmed-milk powder(11), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 419/98(12), should be undertaken and their provisions should be brought together in a single regulation.
(2) The intervention agencies may only buy in skimmed-milk powder which meets the requirements laid down in Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as well as the conditions of quality and presentation, which need to be defined. The methods of analysis and detailed rules governing quality control should also be specified and, if the situation so requires, provision should be made for checks of the radioactivity in skimmed-milk powder, the maximum levels of which need to be established, where appropriate, by Community legislation.
(3) To ensure that the intervention arrangements function smoothly, it is necessary to specify the conditions for the approval of manufacturing undertakings and verification of compliance therewith. To ensure that the arrangements are effective, provision should be made for action to be taken if these conditions are not complied with. Since skimmed-milk powder may be bought in by an intervention agency belonging to a Member State other than that on whose territory it was produced, the intervention agency which does the buying-in should be able to verify that the conditions relating to quality and presentation are complied with in such cases.
(4) Failure to comply with such requirements should not burden the Community budget; non-compliant skimmed-milk powder should therefore be taken back by the operator, who should be made to bear the storage costs incurred.
(5) The minimum quantity offered for sale should be specified. Offers should be accompanied by a security, in order to guarantee that the offer will be maintained and that the skimmed-milk powder will be delivered within the time limits to be laid down.
(6) Under Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, intervention agencies may buy in only skimmed-milk powder which has a minimum protein content. Furthermore, the buying-in price may vary according to the protein content. The method for calculating the buying-in price should be defined.
(7) Member States' obligations should be specified with a view to the proper management of stocks in storage, by stipulating a maximum distance for the place of storage and the costs to be borne when that distance is exceeded, and requiring, in particular, that stocks be accessible, that batches be identified and that skimmed-milk powder in storage be insured against risks. In order to ensure a uniform frequency and level of checks, it is necessary to specify the nature and number of inspections of storage premises to be performed by the national authorities. Since intervention agencies are bound by existing contracts for the current storage period, provision should be made whereby the new requirements to be met by storage depots regarding entry into and removal from storage will apply only to quantities of skimmed-milk powder bought into intervention from 1 September 2000.
(8) Under Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, the buying-in of skimmed-milk powder may be suspended as soon as the quantities offered for intervention in the period from 1 March to 31 August each year exceed 109000 tonnes. When that occurs, buying-in may be performed under a standing invitation to tender, the detailed rules for which need to be laid down. The components of the tender, particularly the minimum quantity, the time limits for submission and the maximum buying-in price should be defined. To ensure compliance with the requirements as to the quality and presentation of the skimmed-milk powder at the time of the tender and after entry into storage, tenderers should be required to submit a written undertaking to that effect, together with their tender. A security should also accompany a tender, in order to guarantee that the tender will be maintained after the closing date for submission of tenders and that the skimmed-milk powder will be delivered within certain deadlines to be laid down. Furthermore, the method used for calculating the buying-in price by reference to the protein content of the skimmed-milk powder bought in should be defined.
(9) Proper management of intervention stock requires the skimmed-milk powder to be resold as soon as outlets become available. To ensure equal access to skimmed-milk powder for sale, all interested parties should be able to buy. In order not to destabilise the market, the selling price should be fixed having regard to the market situation. Conditions for sale, entailing the lodging of a performance bond, should be laid down, particularly as regards the taking-over of the skimmed-milk powder and the time limits for payment. In order to monitor the situation of stocks, Member States should inform the Commission of the quantities of skimmed-milk powder sold.
(10) Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides for aid to be granted for the private storage of skimmed-milk powder. To ensure that the arrangements can be monitored properly, provision should be made for a contract and a set of specifications regarding storage conditions. For the same reason, detailed rules should also be laid down regarding documentation, accounting and the frequency of checks and inspection procedures, particularly in respect of the requirements laid down in Article 7(3). To facilitate checks on the presence of products stored under private storage contracts, there should be provision for them to be removed from storage in lots unless the Member State authorises removal of a smaller quantity.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
CHAPTER I
SCOPE
Article 1
This Regulation lays down the detailed rules for intervention on the market in skimmed-milk powder as provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, as regards:
(a) buying-in at the intervention price;
(b) buying-in under a standing invitation to tender;

Article 2
1. The intervention agencies shall buy in only skimmed-milk powder which complies with the first and second subparagraphs of Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 and paragraphs 2 to 7 of this Article and which is offered for intervention in the period from 1 March to 31 August.
2. The competent authorities shall check the quality of skimmed-milk powder using the analytical methods set out in Annex I on the basis of samples taken in accordance with the rules set out in Annex III. The checks must establish that the skimmed-milk powder does not contain other products, in particular buttermilk or whey, as defined in Annex I.
However, if the Commission so agrees, Member States may set up a system of self-checking under their own supervision for certain quality requirements and certain approved undertakings.
3. Radioactivity levels in the skimmed-milk powder may not exceed the maximum levels permitted, where applicable, under Community rules.
The level of radioactive contamination of the product shall be monitored if the situation so requires and during the period necessary only. Where necessary, the duration and scope of checks shall be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 42 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.
4. The skimmed-milk powder must have been manufactured during the 30 days preceding the day on which the intervention agency received the offer to sell. If the skimmed-milk powder is stored in silos, it must have been manufactured during the four weeks preceding the week during which the offer was received.
5. The minimum quantity offered for sale shall be 20 tonnes. Member States may require skimmed-milk powder to be offered by the complete tonne only.
6. The skimmed-milk powder shall be put up in bags of a net weight of 25 kg meeting the requirements laid down in Annex II and showing the following particulars, where appropriate in code:
(a) the approval number identifying the factory and the Member State of manufacture;
(b) the date or, where appropriate, the week of manufacture;
(c) the number of the manufacturing batch;

They shall carry out at least:
(a) one inspection per period of 28 days of manufacture for intervention, with at least one inspection every six months, to examine the records referred to in paragraph 1(b);
(b) one inspection every six months, to verify compliance with the other approval requirements referred to in paragraph 1.
3. Approval shall be withdrawn if the prior requirements laid down in paragraph 1(a) are no longer satisfied. Approval may be reinstated after no less than six months, at the request of the undertaking concerned, following an in-depth inspection.
Where an undertaking is found not to have complied with one of its undertakings as referred to in paragraph 1(b), (c) and (d), except in cases of force majeure, approval shall be suspended for a period of between 1 and 12 months, depending on the seriousness of the irregularity.
A Member State shall not impose the said suspension where it finds that the irregularity was not committed deliberately or as a result of serious negligence and that it is of minimal importance in terms of the effectiveness of the checks provided for in paragraph 2.
4. A report shall be drawn up on the inspections carried out under paragraphs 2 and 3 specifying:
(a) the date of the check;
(b) its duration;
(c) the operations carried out.
The report shall be signed by the inspector responsible and notified to the undertaking.
5. Member States shall inform the Commission of the measures taken with regard to the inspections provided for in paragraphs 2 and 3 within one month of their adoption.
Article 4

(a) the name and address of the seller;
(b) the quantity offered;
(c) the place where the skimmed-milk powder is held.
2. The intervention agency shall register the date on which the offer is received, the corresponding quantities and dates of manufacture and the place at which the skimmed-milk powder is stored.
Where buying-in at the intervention price is suspended in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999, reception and registration of offers shall be interrupted from the day following that on which the suspension decision is taken.
3. Offers shall be valid only if:

(b) they are accompanied by a written undertaking by the seller to comply with Articles 2(4) and 9;
(c) proof is furnished that the seller has lodged a security of EUR 2 per 100 kg in the Member State in which the offer is submitted, no later than the day on which the offer is received.
4. The undertaking provided for in paragraph 3(b), if sent initially to the intervention agency, shall be valid by tacit renewal for subsequent offers until explicitly cancelled by the seller or the intervention agency, provided that:
(a) the original offer stipulates that the seller intends to avail himself of this provision;
(b) subsequent offers refer to this provision (by a reference to "Article 5(4)") and to the date of the original offer.
Article 6
Maintenance of the offer and delivery of the skimmed-milk powder to the depot designated by the intervention agency within the time limit laid down in Article 7(2) shall constitute primary requirements within the meaning of Article 20 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85(14).
Article 7
1. After checking the offer, and within five working days following the day of receipt, the intervention agency shall issue a dated and numbered delivery order showing:
(a) the quantity of the skimmed-milk powder to be delivered;
(b) the final date for delivery;
(c) the storage depot to which it must be delivered.
2. The skimmed-milk powder shall be delivered within 28 days of the day of receipt of the offer to sell. Delivery may be in several consignments.
3. The security referred to in point (c) of Article 5(3) shall be released as soon as the quantity indicated in the offer has been delivered.
However, where the checks referred to in Article 2(2) show that the skimmed-milk powder does not conform to the requirements laid down in that Article, the security shall nevertheless be released for the quantities not yet delivered.
4. The skimmed-milk powder shall be deemed to be taken over by the intervention agency on the day when the full quantity of skimmed-milk powder covered by the offer enters the storage depot designated by the intervention agency, but no earlier than the day after the delivery order is issued.
5. Except in cases of force majeure, where the seller fails to deliver within the time limit laid down, not only shall the security provided for in point (c) of Article 5(3) be forfeit in proportion to the quantities not delivered, but buying-in shall also be cancelled in respect of the remaining quantities.
Article 8
1. The intervention agency shall pay for the skimmed-milk powder taken over between the 120th and the 140th day following the date of taking-over, provided that it is found to comply with the requirements laid down in Article 2.
2. Where the protein content of the non-fat dry matter, determined using the method described in Annex I, is 35,6 % or more, the buying-in price shall be equal to the intervention price applicable on the day on which the skimmed-milk powder was manufactured.
Where that protein content is 31,4 % or more but less than 35,6 %, the buying-in price shall be equal to the intervention price less an amount calculated as follows:
intervention price x ((0,356 - protein content) x 1,75).
Article 9
In making the offer the seller shall undertake, should the inspection show that the skimmed milk powder does not comply with the requirements laid down in Article 2:
(a) to take back the goods in question;
(b) before taking back the goods, to pay the storage costs for the quantities concerned from the date they are taken over to the date of their removal from storage.
The storage costs due shall be determined on the basis of flat-rate amounts for entry, removal and storage costs, set pursuant to Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78(15).

(d) have a capacity of at least 1000 tonnes and removal facilities able to accommodate the removal each day of at least 3 % of the quantity stored in the depot, at a minimum rate of 100 tonnes per day. For the purposes of this requirement, only the quantities of skimmed-milk powder bought in from 1 September 2000 shall be taken into account.
The risks of storing the skimmed-milk powder shall be covered by insurance in the form of either a contractual obligation on storers or a comprehensive coverage of the liability borne by the intervention agency. The Member State may also act as its own insurer.
2. The intervention agencies shall require that the skimmed-milk powder be placed and kept in storage on pallets and in easily identifiable and readily accessible lots.
3. The competent authority responsible for inspection shall check on the presence of the products in the depot as provided for in Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2148/96(16).
Article 11
1. The intervention agency shall choose the available storage depot nearest to the place where the skimmed-milk powder is stored.
However, it may choose another depot situated within the distance referred to in paragraph 2. It may choose a depot situated beyond that distance, taking account of storage and transport costs. In that case the intervention agency shall notify the Commission of its choice forthwith.
2. The maximum distance referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 shall be 350 km. Beyond that distance, the additional transport costs borne by the intervention agency shall be EUR 0,05 per tonne and per kilometre.
However, where the intervention agency buying in the skimmed-milk powder offered for sale is in a Member State other than that in whose territory it is stored, no account shall be taken of the distance between the storage depot of the seller and the border of the Member State of the purchasing intervention agency when calculating the maximum distance referred to in the first subparagraph.
Article 12
1. At the time of removal from storage, the intervention agency shall make the skimmed-milk powder available on pallets at the depot's loading bay, loaded onto the means of transport but not stowed.
Where the skimmed-milk powder is made available on EUR pallets or pallets of comparable quality, the buyer shall return equivalent pallets to the intervention agency on removal from storage.
2. The stowage costs and any depalletising costs shall be borne by the buyer of the skimmed milk powder. These costs shall be fixed by the Member State on a flat-rate basis and notified on request to interested parties. The Commission shall be informed thereof within one month following adoption of this Regulation and prior to any changes subsequently made.

Article 33
1. On entry into storage the competent authority shall conduct checks within the period beginning on the date of entry into the store and ending 28 days after the date of registration of the application for conclusion of the contract.
To ensure that the products stored are eligible for aid, the checks shall be made on a representative sample of at least 5 % of the quantities placed in storage to ensure that the storage lots in their entirety physically conform to the application for conclusion of a contract as regards the weight, identification and nature of the products.
2. The competent authority shall:
(a) either seal the products by contract, storage lot or smaller quantity at the time of the check provided for in paragraph 1;
(b) or make an unannounced check, by random sampling, to ensure that the products are present in the depot. The random sample concerned shall be representative and shall correspond to at least 10 % of the total quantity under contract for a private storage aid measure.
3. At the end of the contractual storage period, the competent authority shall check, by random sampling, to verify weight and identification.

(a) the end of the maximum contractual storage period of 180 days;
or
(b) the start of the removal operations, where these take place during or after the 180 day period.
The Member State may accept a shorter time limit than five working days.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE of 22 July 1983 introducing temporary measures for the designation of certain ingredients in the labelling of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (83/463/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 79/112/EEC of 18 December 1978 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs for sale to the ultimate consumer (1), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to the second indent of Article 6 (5) (b) of Directive 79/112/EEC, ingredients belonging to one of the categories listed in Annex II thereof must be designated in the list of ingredients by the name of that category, followed by their specific name or EEC number;
Whereas, as Community legislation currently stands, not all of the ingredients in question have been assigned an EEC number ; whereas full advantage cannot therefore be taken of the choice offered by the abovementioned labelling rule;
Whereas the Community is required to complete its rules relating to the categories of ingredients listed in Annex II to Directive 79/112/EEC ; whereas, as new Community provisions are adopted in these areas, EEC numbers that can be used in the labelling of foodstuffs will become available;
Whereas, as an interim measure aimed at facilitating the application of Directive 79/112/EEC, a temporary numbering system for those ingredients that have not yet received an EEC number should be made available to those responsible for labelling foodstuffs, pending the adoption of these new provisions;
Whereas a system of this kind is not intended to affect the provisions under which the use of the ingredients in question is authorized, prohibited or limited;
Whereas this Directive can relate only to ingredients belonging to the categories of use listed in Annex II to Directive 79/112/EEC ; whereas if, however, other categories were added to that Annex, it could also prove necessary to assign numbers to ingredients belonging to such categories;
Whereas, due to the scientific and technical developments in progress on artificial sweeteners, the ingredients in that category cannot yet all be enumerated and in view of this difficulty it is not yet appropriate to include these ingredients in the temporary arrangements introduced by this Directive;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 23 (1) (a) of Directive 79/112/EEC, Member States may make it optional to designate the specific name or EEC number of (1) OJ No L 33, 8.2.1979, p. 1. ingredients belonging to one of the categories listed in Annex II thereof ; whereas this provision is not affected by this Directive;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Foodstuffs,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Pending the implementation of Community provisions introducing new EEC numbers, the numbers listed in the Annex may, in accordance with the second indent of Article 6 (5) (b) of Directive 79/112/EEC, be used in place of the specific name to designate the corresponding ingredients where the latter's technological function classifies them in one or more of the categories listed in Annex II to Directive 79/112/EEC.
Article 2
Member States shall make such amendments to their laws as may be necessary to comply with this Directive and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.
Without prejudice to the provisions under which the use of the corresponding ingredients is authorized, prohibited or limited, Member States shall, not later than 1 July 1984, allow the numbers listed in the Annex to be used.
Article 3
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 499/2002
of 20 March 2002
determining the world market price for unginned cotton
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Protocol 4 on cotton, annexed to the Act of Accession of Greece, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2001(1),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001 of 22 May 2001 on production aid for cotton(2), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, a world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined periodically from the price for ginned cotton recorded on the world market and by reference to the historical relationship between the price recorded for ginned cotton and that calculated for unginned cotton. That historical relationship has been established in Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2 August 2001(3). Where the world market price cannot be determined in this way, it is to be based on the most recent price determined.
(2) In accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1051/2001, the world market price for unginned cotton is to be determined in respect of a product of specific characteristics and by reference to the most favourable offers and quotations on the world market among those considered representative of the real market trend. To that end, an average is to be calculated of offers and quotations recorded on one or more European exchanges for a product delivered cif to a port in the Community and coming from the various supplier countries considered the most representative in terms of international trade. However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2009/84/EC
of 28 July 2009
amending Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council to include sulfuryl fluoride as an active substance in Annex I thereto
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. That list includes sulfuryl fluoride.
(2)
Commission Directive 2006/140/EC (3) included sulfuryl fluoride as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 8, wood preservatives, as defined in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC.
(3)
Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, sulfuryl fluoride has now been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 18, insecticides, as defined in Annex V to that Directive.
(4)
Sweden was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 19 June 2007 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.
(5)
The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 20 February 2009, in an assessment report.
(6)
It appears from the examinations made that biocidal products used as insecticides and containing sulfuryl fluoride may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC. It is therefore appropriate to include sulfuryl fluoride in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States authorisations for biocidal products used as insecticides and containing sulfuryl fluoride can be granted, modified, or cancelled in accordance with Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC.
(7)
In the light of the conclusions of the assessment report, it is appropriate to require that products containing sulfuryl fluoride and used as insecticides be authorised only for use by trained professionals in accordance with Article 10(2)(i)(e) of Directive 98/8/EC, and that specific risk mitigation measures are applied at product authorisation level to ensure the safety of operators and of bystanders.
(8)
In addition, it is appropriate to require continuous monitoring of sulfuryl fluoride in remote tropospheric air and to require results of such monitoring to be regularly reported to the Commission.
(9)
It is important that the provisions of this Directive be applied simultaneously in all the Member States in order to ensure equal treatment of biocidal products on the market containing the active substance sulfuryl fluoride and also to facilitate the proper operation of the biocidal products market in general.
(10)
A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed and to ensure that applicants who have prepared dossiers can benefit fully from the 10-year period of data protection, which, in accordance with Article 12(1)(c)(ii) of Directive 98/8/EC, starts from the date of inclusion.
(11)
After inclusion, Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to implement Article 16(3) of Directive 98/8/EC, and in particular, to grant, modify or cancel authorisations of biocidal products in product-type 18 containing sulfuryl fluoride to ensure that they comply with Directive 98/8/EC.
(12)
Directive 98/8/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(13)
The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
Article 1
Annex I to Directive 98/8/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
Article 2
1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 30 June 2010 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.
They shall apply those provisions from 1 July 2011.
When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
Article 3
This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Article 4
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 118a thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1), drawn up after consultation with the Safety and Health Commission for the Mining and other Extractive Industries,
In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Article 118a of the EEC Treaty provides that the Council shall adopt, by means of Directives, minimum requirements for encouraging improvements, especially in the working environment, to guarantee a better level of protection of the safety and health of workers;
Whereas, pursuant to that Article, such Directives must avoid imposing administrative, financial and legal constraints which would hold back the creation and development of small and medium-sized undertakings;
Whereas the improvement of workers' safety, hygiene and health at work is an objective which should not be subordinated to purely economic considerations;
Whereas Council Directive 89/654/EEC of 30 November 1989 concerning the minimum safety and health requirements for the workplace (first individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16 (1) of Directive 89/391/EEC (4)) does not apply to the extractive industries;
Whereas compliance with the minimum requirements designed to guarantee a better standard of safety and health for the mineral-extracting industries through drilling is essential to ensure the safety and health of workers;
Whereas the mineral-extracting industries through drilling constitute an area of activity likely to expose workers to particularly high levels of risk;
Whereas this Directive is an individual directive within the meaning of Article 16 (1) of Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work (5); whereas, therefore, the provisions of the said Directive apply in full to the mineral-extracting industries through drilling without prejudice to more stringent and/or specific provisions contained in this Directive;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3713/86
of 4 December 1986
authorizing the United Kingdom to permit under certain conditions an additional increase in the alcoholic strength of certain wines and certain products intended for wine making
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 on the common organization of the market in wine (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3805/85 (2), and in particular Articles 32 (4) and 65 thereof,
Whereas under Article 32 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 Member States may permit an increase in the actual or potential natural alcoholic strength only within certain limits;
Whereas, because of extremely heavy rainfall in several regions of the United Kingdom during the summer of 1986, the limits upon increases in the natural alcoholic strength as fixed by Article 32 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79 in the case of grapes harvested in the United Kingdom wine area prevent the production of the wines which are normally required by the market; whereas this Member State should accordingly be authorized to permit, in the regions affected, an additional increase in the natural alcoholic strength as provided for in Article 32 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 337/79; whereas provision should be made for the United Kingdom to communicate to the Commission certain information, in particular under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1594/70 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 418/86 (4);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

Commission Regulation (EC) No 381/2003
of 28 February 2003
fixing the production refund on white sugar used in the chemical industry
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 680/2002(2), and in particular Article 7(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, production refunds may be granted on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (f) of that Regulation, on syrups listed in Article 1(1)(d) thereof and on chemically pure fructose covered by CN code 1702 50 00 as an intermediate product, that are in one of the situations referred to in Article 23(2) of the Treaty and are used in the manufacture of certain products of the chemical industry.
(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 of 27 June 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 as regards granting the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industry(3) lays down the rules for determining the production refunds and specifies the chemical products the basic products used in the manufacture of which attract a production refund. Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provide that the production refund applying to raw sugar, sucrose syrups and unprocessed isoglucose is to be derived from the refund fixed for white sugar in accordance with a method of calculation specific to each basic product.
(3) Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 provides that the production refund on white sugar is to be fixed at monthly intervals commencing on the first day of each month. It may be adjusted in the intervening period where there is a significant change in the prices for sugar on the Community and/or world markets. The application of those provisions results in the production refund fixed in Article 1 of this Regulation for the period shown.
(4) As a result of the amendment to the definition of white sugar and raw sugar in Article 1(2)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, flavoured or coloured sugars or sugars containing any other added substances are no longer deemed to meet those definitions and should thus be regarded as "other sugar". However, in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001, they attract the production refund as basic products. A method should accordingly be laid down for calculating the production refund on these products by reference to their sucrose content.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The production refund on white sugar referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1265/2001 shall be equal to 39,525 EUR/100 kg net.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 March 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1980/92 of 16 July 1992 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1538/91 introducing detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 on certain marketing standards for poultrymeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 of 26 June 1990 on certain marketing standards for poultrymeat (1), and in particular Article 3 (3) and 9 thereof,
Whereas Article 8 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1538/91 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 315/92 (3), lays down the detailed rules for the optional classification of frozen and quick-frozen poultrymeat by weight categories;
Whereas these provisions should be modified in order to take account of current trade practices regarding the marketing of heavier carcases in certain Member States and to allow the continuation of weight indication in imperial units until 31 December 1994 for products marketed in the United Kingdom;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1538/91 is hereby replaced by the following:
'Article 8
1. Prepackaged frozen or quick frozen poultrymeat may be classified by weight category in accordance with Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 in prepackages within the meaning of Article 2 of Directive 76/211/EEC.
These prepackages may be:
- prepackages containing one poultry carcase, or
- prepackages containing one or several poultry cuts of the same type and species,
as defined in Article 1.
2. All prepackages shall in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4 bear an indication of the weight of the product known as 'nominal weight' which they are required to contain.
3. Prepackages of frozen or quick-frozen poultrymeat may by classified by categories of nominal weights as follows:
- carcases:
- 1 100 g: classes of 50 g (1 050 1 000 950 etc.),
- 1 100- 2400 g: classes of 100 g (1 100 1 200 1 300 etc.),
- 2400 g: classes of 200 g (2 400 2 600 2 800 etc.),
- cuts:
- 1 100 g: classes of 50 g (1 050 1 000 950 etc.),
- 1 100 g: classes of 100 g (1 100 1 200 1 300 etc.).
4. Prepackages referred to in paragraph 1 shall be made up in such a way that they satisfy the following requirements:
- the actual contents shall not be less, on average, than the nominal weight,
- the proportion of prepackages having a negative error greater than the tolerable negative error laid down in paragraph 9 shall be sufficiently small for batches of prepackages to satisfy the requirements of the tests specified in paragraph 10,
- no prepackage having a negative error greater than twice the tolerable negative error given in paragraph 9 shall be marketed.
The definitions of nominal weight, actual content and negative error laid down in Annex I to Directive 76/211/EEC shall apply to this Regulation.
5. Regarding responsibility of the packer or importer of frozen or quick-frozen poultrymeat and checks to be carried out by competent authorities, points 4,5 and 6 of Annex I to Directive 76/211/EEC apply mutatis mutandis.
6. The checking of prepackages shall be carried out by sampling and shall be in two parts:
- a check covering the actual content of each prepackage in the sample,
- a check on the average actual contents of the prepackages in the sample.
A batch of prepackages shall be considered acceptable if the results of both these checks satisfy the acceptance criteria referred to in paragraphs 10 and 11.
7. A batch shall be made up of all the prepackages of the same nominal weight, the same type and the same production rund, packed in the same place, which are to be inspected.
The batch size shall be limited to the quantities laid down below:
- when prepackages are checked at the end of the packing line, the number in each batch shall be equal to the maximum hourly output of the packing line, without any restriction as to batch size,
- in other cases the batch size shall be limited to 10 000.
8. A sample consisting of the following numbers of prepackages shall be drawn at random from each batch to be inspected:
Batch size Sample size 100 to 500 30 501 to 3 200 50 3 200 80
For batches of fewer than 100 prepackages, the non-destructive test, within the meaning of Annex II to Directive 76/211/EEC, where carried out, shall be 100 %.
9. In the case of prepackaged poultrymeat the following tolerable negative errors are permitted:
(g)
Nominal weight, g Tolerable negative error, g carcases cuts less than 1 000 25 25 1 100- 2 400 50 2 400 and more 100 50
10. For the checking of the actual content of each prepackage in the sample, the minimum acceptable content shall be calculated by subtracting the tolerable negative error for the contents concerned from the nominal weight of the prepackage.
The prepackages in the sample whose actual contents are less than the minimum acceptable content shall be considered defective.
The batch of prepackages, checked shall be considered acceptable or rejected, if the number of defective units found in the sample is less than or equal to the acceptance criterion or equal to or greater than the criterion for rejection shown below:
Number in sample Number of defective units Acceptance criterion Rejection criterion 30 2 3 50 3 4 80 5 6
11. For the checking of the average actual contents, a batch of prepackages shall be considered acceptable, if the average actual content of the prepackages forming the sample is greater than the acceptance criterion shown below:
Sample size Acceptance criterion for average actual content 30 x Qn - 0,503 s 50 x Qn - 0,379 s 80 x Qn - 0,295 s x = average actual content of prepackages, Qn = nominal quantity of the prepackage, s = standard deviation of the actual contents of the prepackages in the batch.
The standard deviation shall be estimated as set out under point 2.3.2.2. of Annex II to Directive 76/211/EEC.
12. For so long as Directive 80/181/EEC authorizes the use of supplementary indications, the indication of the nominal weight of prepackages to which this Article applies may be accompanied by a supplementary indication.
13. As an alternative to making use of the provisions of paragraphs 2 to 12, operators may market in the United Kingdom until 31 December 1994 prepackages referred to in this Article which are lawfully marked in accordance with national legislation with the nominal weights expressed in imperial units.
In respect of poultrymeat coming into the United Kingdom from other Member States and complying with the provisions of the preceding subparagraph, checks shall be carried out on a random basis and shall not be made at the border.'
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 1992.
However, until 31 December 1992 operators may classify prepackaged frozen or quick-frozen poultrymeat by weight categories in accordance with the provisions applicable before the entry into force of this Regulation. These products may then be marketed until 31 December 1993. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/675/EEC of 10 December 1990 laying down the principles governing the organization of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC (2), and in particular Article 19 thereof,

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 91/282/EEC is repealed with effect from 1 June 1994.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3878/88
of 12 December 1988
establishing Community supervision for the imports of certain agricultural products originating in the Canary Islands (1989)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1391/87 of 18 May 1987 concerning certain adjustments to the arrangements applied to the Canary Islands (1), and in particular Articles 4, 6 and 10 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in Regulation (EEC) No 1391/87, the Council decided, for certain agricultural products originating in the Canary Islands, upon a progressive reduction of the customs duties applicable in the limits of reference quantities with the possibility for the Community to replace in future the facilities by a system of tariff quotas if it should appear that under the preferential system imported quantities exceed, during the course of a determined year, the reference quantities laid down, and if simultaneously these imports cause damage on the Community market; whereas the application of such a system demands that the Community is regularly informed of the development of these imports originating in the Canary Islands; whereas it is therefore indicated to submit the imports of these products to a system of supervision;
Whereas this objective may be achieved by means of an administrative procedure based on setting off imports of the products in question against the reference quantities at Community level, as and when these products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation;
Whereas this administrative procedure requires close and particularly rapid cooperation between the Member States and the Commission; whereas the latter must, in particular, be able to follow the progress of amounts set off against the reference quantities and keep the Member States informed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. Imports into the Community of certain goods originating in the Canary Islands shall be subject to Community supervision and to annual reference quantities.
The description of the goods referred to in the preceding subparagraph, their order numbers, their CN codes and the levels and periods of application of the reference quantities are indicated in the annexed table.
2. Quantities shall be charged against the reference quantities as and when products are entered with customs authorities for free circulation and accompanied by a movement certificate. If the movement certificate is submitted a posteriori, the goods shall be charged against the corresponding reference quantity at the moment when the goods are entered for free circulation.
The extent to which the reference quantities are used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against them in the manner defined in the first subparagraph.
Member States shall periodically inform the Commission of imports effected in accordance with the above rules; such information shall be supplied under the conditions laid down in paragraph 3.
3. Member States shall forward to the Commission:
- not later than 1 July 1989, the final amounts set off for products mentioned under Order Nos 17.0003 and 17.0005,
- by 15 October 1989, the cumulative amounts set off for the period from 1 January to 30 September, and by not later than the 20th day of each following month those set off during the preceding month, for the product mentioned under Order No 17.0001.
Article 2
Member States and the Commission shall cooperate closely to ensure that this Regulation is complied with.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1989.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1662/2002
of 18 September 2002
imposing provisional anti-dumping duties on imports of certain filament yarns of cellulose acetate originating in Lithuania and the United States of America
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1) (basic Regulation), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2238/2000(2), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) On 20 December 2001, the Commission announced by a notice (Notice of Initiation) published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding with regard to imports into the Community of certain non-textured artificial filament yarn of cellulose acetate originating in Lithuania and the United States of America.
(2) The anti-dumping proceeding was initiated as a result of a complaint lodged in November 2001 by the Comité international de la rayonne et des fibres synthetiques (CIRFS) on behalf of Community producers representing over 90 % of the total production in the Community. The complaint contained evidence of dumping of the said product and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding.
(3) Certain exporting producers claimed that the United States of America should not have been included in the proceeding due to the lack of adequate and accurate information on injurious dumping and causality at initiation stage. It should be noted that complainants have to show that their complaints are non-discriminatory with respect to third countries. Therefore, they have to provide an analysis of the situation of all countries with significant imports with a view of concluding whether such countries' imports are made at injurious volumes and prices and whether such countries' export prices are, prima facie, dumped. The information contained in the complaint showed similar behaviour for Lithuanian and United States exports in this respect. Imports from both countries were allegedly dumped and undercut/undersold the Community industry's prices/costs. Furthermore, the difficult situation of the industry coincided with the increase in imports from both countries concerned, the market shares of which were significant. Given also the analyses of the other possible causes of injury, these imports were found to have contributed to the injury suffered and the initiation of an investigation was therefore warranted.
(4) The Commission officially advised the exporting producers and importers/traders known to be concerned as well as their associations, the representatives of the exporting countries concerned, users, suppliers and the complainant Community producers of the initiation of the proceeding. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the Notice of Initiation.
(5) A number of parties made their views known in writing. All parties who so requested within the time limit and showed that there were particular reasons why they should be heard were granted the opportunity to be heard orally.
(6) The Commission sent questionnaires to all parties known to be concerned and to all the other companies that made themselves known within the deadlines set out in the Notice of Initiation. Replies were received from the two complaining Community producers, three exporting producers, and their related importers in the Community, seven users and one trader.
(7) The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the purpose of a preliminary determination of dumping, resulting injury and Community interest. Verification visits were carried out at the premises of the following companies:
(A) Exporting producers
- AB Dirbtinis Pluostas, Kaunas, Lithuania,
- Celanese Acetate LLC, Charlotte (NC), United States of America,
- Eastman Chemical Company, Kingsport (TN), United States of America.
(B) Companies related to the exporting producers
- DPI, Milan, Italy,
- Celanese NV, Lanaken, Belgium,
- Eastman Chemical Company BV, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
(C) Community producers
- Industrias del acetato de Celulosa, SA (INACSA), Barcelona, Spain,
- Novaceta SpA, Magenta, Italy.
(D) Users
- Marioboselli Yarns SpA, Garbagnate Monastero, Italy,
- Tessitura Serica A.M. Taborelli srl, Faloppio, Italy.
(8) The investigation of dumping and injury covered the period from 1 October 2000 to 30 September 2001 (investigation period or IP). The examination of trends in the context of the injury analysis covered the period from 1 January 1997 to the end of the IP (period under consideration).
B. PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT
1. Product concerned
(9) The product concerned is certain non-textured artificial filament yarn of cellulose acetate (CAY). CAY is used to make textile fabrics. It is classifiable within CN codes 5403 33 10, 5403 33 90 and 5403 42 00.
(10) The most important characteristics of CAY are the colour, the decitex (weight per length of yarn), and the package (known in the market in the form of cheese, beam or back beam). Nylon or polyester might also be added to the yarn of cellulose acetate. All types of models of the product concerned have the same basic physical and chemical characteristics in spite of the differences in packaging, colour and decitex. Therefore, CAY can be considered as one single product.
2. Like product
(11) The imported products, the Community produced products and the products sold on the market of both exporting countries are similar in their essential physical and technical characteristics and in their uses. They are therefore considered to be alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
C. DUMPING
1. Lithuania
(a) Normal value
(12) For the sole Lithuanian exporting producer, since total domestic sales of the product concerned during the IP represented less than 5 % of export sales to the Community, normal value had to be constructed. In accordance with Article 2(3) of the basic Regulation, normal value was constructed by adding an amount for selling, general and administrative (SG& A) costs and for profit to the exporter's cost of manufacturing. As domestic sales of the product concerned were not representative, and in the absence of any other apparent basis, for the purpose of a preliminary determination of dumping the information contained in the complaint was used for the establishment of SG& A costs and profit, in accordance with Article 2(6)(c) of the basic Regulation.
(b) Export price
(13) For those sales made to independent customers in the Community, the export price was established on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the product when sold to the Community, in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation.
(14) For sales made via a related importer, the export price was constructed on the basis of resale prices to the first independent customers. Adjustments were made for all costs incurred between importation and resale. These costs included the related importer's SG& A costs and a reasonable profit margin. In order to establish a reasonable profit margin, and in the absence of any cooperating unrelated importer in the current investigation whose profit margin could be used for this purpose, the profit margin net of transport costs established for unrelated importers in another investigation covering the same general category of products (i.e. artificial filament yarns), was used. As a significant part of the exported product was further processed by the related importer through independent subcontractors in the Community before being resold to the first independent customer, the relevant processing costs, which represented a significant percentage of the selling price, were also deducted from the export price.
(c) Comparison
(15) For the purposes of a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price at an ex-works level, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences that were claimed and demonstrated to affect prices and price comparability. These adjustments were made, where appropriate, in respect of discounts and rebates, transport, insurance, handling, loading and ancillary costs, commissions and credit costs in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
(d) Dumping margin
(16) In accordance with Article 2(11) and (12) of the basic Regulation, the dumping margin was established on the basis of a comparison of the weighted average normal value with the weighted average export price. The provisional dumping margin expressed as a percentage of the cif Community frontier price duty unpaid, for the exporting producer concerned is:
Dirbtinis Pluostas: 30,8 %.
As the level of cooperation for Lithuania was high, the residual provisional dumping margin was set at the same level as for the cooperating company, i.e. 30,8 %.
2. United States
(a) Cooperation
(17) One of the two United States exporting producers submitted only the sections of the questionnaire relevant to the injury determination. However, the company allowed the Commission services to carry out on-spot verification visits at its premises, as well as the premises of its related importer. The company was warned in accordance with Article 18(6) of the basic Regulation that as a result of its only partial cooperation the dumping findings may be less favourable for it than if it had fully cooperated.
(b) Normal value
(18) For the other exporting producer which cooperated fully, in the absence of profitable domestic sales of the like product during the IP, normal value had to be constructed, in accordance with Article 2(3) of the basic Regulation. Normal value was constructed on the basis of this exporting producer's own cost of manufacturing and SG& A costs. Its own SG& A costs could be used because the domestic sales of the like product made by the exporting producer were representative as defined in Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation. For the profit margin, in the absence of profitable sales in the same general category of products and of any other basis, for the purpose of a preliminary determination of dumping, the information contained in the complaint was used, in accordance with Article 2(6)(c) of the basic Regulation.
(19) In the absence of relevant information from the partially cooperating exporting producer, the normal value for the partially cooperating producer was established on the basis of information obtained from the fully cooperating exporting producer in the United States of America, in accordance with Article 18(1) of the basic Regulation.
(c) Export price
(20) Since all the sales of the two exporting producers were made via related importers, export price was constructed on the basis of the resale prices to independent customers. Adjustments were made for all costs incurred between importation and resale. These costs included the related importer's SG& A costs and a reasonable profit margin. In order to establish a reasonable profit margin, and in the absence of any cooperating unrelated importer in the current investigation whose profit margin could be used for this purpose, the profit margin net of transport costs established for unrelated importers in another investigation covering the same general category of products (i.e. artificial filament yarns), was used. Some of the exports from one exporting producer were further processed by its related importer in the Community. These processing costs were also deducted from the export price.
(d) Comparison
(21) For the purposes of a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price at an ex-works level, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences that were claimed and demonstrated to affect prices and price comparability. These adjustments were made, where appropriate, in respect of physical differences, discounts and rebates, transport, insurance, handling, loading and ancillary costs, commissions and credit costs in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
(e) Dumping margin
(22) In accordance with Article 2(11) and (12) of the basic Regulation, the dumping margin was established on the basis of a comparison of the weighted average normal values with the weighted average export price. The provisional dumping margins expressed as a percentage of the cif Community frontier price, duty unpaid, for the exporting producers concerned are:
Celanese Acetate LLC: 84,8 % and
Eastman Chemical Company: 104,8 %.
(23) As the volume of imports from the United States companies which either partially or fully cooperated was high, the provisional residual dumping margin was set at the same level as for the United States company with the highest dumping margin established, i.e. 104,8 %.
D. DEFINITION OF THE COMMUNITY INDUSTRY
(24) Within the Community, the product considered was manufactured by:
- two producers located in Italy and Spain, on behalf of which the complaint was lodged and which fully cooperated in the investigation,
- one producer related to a United States exporter and not supporting the investigation.
(25) Due to a lack of cooperation and therefore a lack of data, the economic operator which is related to a producer in the countries concerned (Celanese) has provisionally been excluded from the definition of the Community industry.
(26) The two cooperating complaining Community producers fulfil the requirements of Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation, since they account for 93 % of Community production of the product concerned. They are therefore deemed to constitute the Community industry within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the basic Regulation.
E. INJURY
(a) Apparent Community consumption
(27) For the calculation of the apparent consumption of the product concerned on the Community market, the Commission added the sales volume of the Community industry and of the other Community producer to the total imports into the Community as shown under CN codes 5403 33 10, 5403 33 90 and 5403 42 00.
(28) On this basis, apparent consumption of the product concerned in the Community decreased from around 38000 tonnes in 1997 to 29000 tonnes in the IP, this means by 24 %.
(29) The drop was particularly marked between 1998 and 1999 (- 28 %), mainly in the aftermath of the Asian crisis which happened in autumn of 1997. Afterwards it partly recovered and consumption was up 6 % between 1999 and the IP. The overall decrease in Community consumption is mainly attributable to the substitution of filament yarn of cellulose acetate by lower-priced polyester yarn as well as final products, directly imported from Asia.
(b) Cumulative assessment of the effects of the imports concerned
(30) The Commission examined whether imports of CAY originating in Lithuania and the United States of America should be assessed cumulatively in accordance with Article 3(4) of the basic Regulation.
(31) The margin of dumping established in relation to the imports from each of the countries concerned was above the de minimis threshold as defined in Article 9(3) of the basic Regulation and the volume of imports from each of these countries was not negligible.
(32) As regards the conditions of competition, the investigation showed that CAY imported from the countries concerned, were alike in all their essential physical and technical characteristics. Furthermore, on that basis, CAY was interchangeable and was marketed in the Community during the period under consideration through comparable sales channels under similar commercial conditions.
(33) It was argued that imports originating in the United States of America should be decumulated from the investigation as the complainants clearly distinguished the effects of imports from the United States of America and Lithuania. Secondly, it was argued that imports from the United States of America are not undercutting domestic prices to the same degree as imports from Lithuania. Thirdly, one exporting producer from the United States of America has decided not to make any future investments in the acetate yarn business. Fourthly, it was argued that the increase in imports from the United States of America is mainly due to the closing of a production facility in the Community and substitution by sales of United States origin. As far as the first argument is concerned, it should be noted that both countries are included in the complaint and both of them are underselling. Secondly, whilst it is true that United States prices are only slightly undercutting, it should however be borne in mind that prices of the Community industry have been depressed to a significant degree and that underselling occurred. As far as the remaining two arguments are concerned, they do not seem to be relevant in the context of the decision on decumulation.
(34) In the light of the above, the Commission services provisionally considered that all the criteria set out in Article 3(4) of the basic Regulation were met and that imports from the countries concerned should therefore be examined cumulatively.
(c) Imports originating in the countries concerned
Volume
(35) The volume of imports of the product concerned originating in Lithuania and the United States of America into the Community increased by 63 % over the period under consideration.
(36) Imports decreased by 13 % between 1997 and 1998. Imports remained practically stable in 1999 despite the fact that consumption in the Community market decreased by 28 % in this year. Subsequently, import volumes more than doubled in 2000 although consumption remained by and large stable during the period 1999-IP.
Market share
(37) Over the period under consideration the share of the Community market held by the dumped imports from the countries concerned increased by 14 percentage points.
(38) The joint market share held by the two countries concerned increased by 14 percentage points during the period under consideration. After a slight decrease in 1998, it increased significantly in 1999 and 2000.
(d) Prices
Price evolution
(39) Between 1997 and the IP, the average cif prices of imports originating in Lithuania and the United States of America decreased by 14 %. The decrease occurred steadily over the period under consideration.
Price undercutting
(40) A comparison for comparable types of the product concerned was made between the exporting producers' and the Community industry's average selling prices in the Community, net of all rebates and taxes to unrelated customers, at the same level of trade (both related importers and the Community industry sell to the same types of users). The prices of the Community industry were at an ex-works level. The constructed cif Community frontier prices of exporting producers of the countries concerned were adjusted for post importation costs, applicable duties (in the case of the United States imports) and a profit margin for importers. However, some of the exports from two exporting producers were further processed by their related importers in the Community. These processing costs were not deducted from the export price for reasons of comparability with the corresponding product types of the Community industry.
(41) This comparison showed that during the IP the products concerned originating in the countries concerned were sold in the Community at prices which undercut the Community industry's prices, when expressed as a percentage of the latter, as follows: Lithuania between 4 % and 8 %, United States of America: between 0 % and around 2 %. The relatively low undercutting margins are not an indication of non-injurious export prices. On the contrary, they are a result of the price depression exerted on the sales prices of the Community industry.
(e) Situation of the Community industry
Preliminary remarks
(42) Pursuant to Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined all relevant economic factors and indices having a bearing on the state of the Community industry. For reasons of confidentiality, figures are presented in an indexed or approximate form.
Capacity, production and capacity utilisation rate
(43) The production capacity was reduced significantly by 23 % during the period under consideration, mainly as a result of the rationalisation of the production facilities by one of the complaining Community producers. The first reduction of capacity was introduced in 1999 and downsizing continued in the IP.
(44) The production of the Community industry decreased by 28 % during the period under consideration.
(45) After a decrease of 5 % in 1998, production plummeted in 1999 with a drop of 28 %. This was in line with the shrinking market. After stabilisation in 2000, production recovered slightly during the IP. It should be noted that production decreased following the trend of Community industry's decreasing sales.
(46) Given the practically stable production capacity in the period 1997 to 1999, capacity utilisation first followed the same trend as production. After the sharp drop of production in 1999 of 25 %, the Community industry reduced capacity and thereby improved capacity utilisation by 11 % in 2000 and another 13 % during the IP, albeit against the background of an overall capacity reduction.
Inventories
(47) The level of closing stocks of the Community industry evolved as follows:
(48) Stocks decreased by 5 % during the period under consideration but constituted 13 % of the sales volume in 1997 whereas in the IP they accounted for 18 % of the sales volume.
Sales volume and market share
(49) The sales by the Community industry on the Community market decreased by 35 % in terms of volume and by 40 % in terms of value during the period under consideration.
(50) In line with the market, sales to unrelated customers dropped sharply in 1999. While the total consumption in the Community increased after 1999, the Community industry nevertheless sold less during the IP than in the year after the Asian crisis.
(51) The market share held by the Community industry decreased by 15 % over the period under consideration.
(52) The Community industry lost some market share in the year 1999 and incurred a further substantial loss in 2000. In the IP it was able to regain some market share but was still far below the of 1999.
Growth
(53) While the Community consumption decreased by 24 % between 1997 and the investigation period, the sales volume of the Community industry decreased by around 35 %. On the other hand, volume of imports concerned increased by 63 %. The Community industry thus lost 12 percentage points of its market share, whereas the imports concerned managed to increase their market share by 14 percentage points during the same period. This means that the Community industry reduced its presence in the market to an extent exceeding the decline in growth of the market between 1997 and the IP.
Sales prices
(54) The Community producers average net sales price of the product concerned produced and sold in the Community decreased by 6 % between 1997 and the IP.
(55) Sales prices remained practically stable until 1999 and were reduced slightly in 2000 and the IP.
(56) The evolution in prices should be seen in comparison with the evolution of the unit cost of production. In 1999, the unit cost of the Community industry increased by 16 % mainly because of the decrease in production. Due to the restructuring and the dismissal of employees, the unit costs could be reduced gradually. However, they were still 10 % above the 1997 level.
Employment
(57) Between 1997 and the IP, the level of employment of the Community industry decreased by 29 %.
(58) In an effort to increase productivity in order to reduce unit costs, staff was reduced significantly from 1999 onwards. The reduction was particularly marked in 2000 with a decline of 14 %.
Productivity
(59) Between 1997 and 1999 productivity, measured as output per person employed per year, fell by 29 % and improved subsequently due to the restructuring of the Community industry. In the IP it just slightly exceeded the 1997 level.
Wages
(60) Between 1997 and the IP, the average wage per employee increased by 8 %.
(61) After stable wages in 1998 and a slight reduction in 1999, nominal average wages per employee increased to a level that was 8 % higher in the IP than in 1997. It should be noted that total wages paid decreased given the lay off of staff.
Investments
(62) The Community industry's total investments in the product concerned decreased by 42 % between 1997 and the IP.
(63) In 1999 investments plummeted by 55 %, then recovered in the IP by 14 % but were still far below the 1997/1998 level.
Profitability
(64) Over the period under consideration, profitability of sales in the EC to unrelated customers in terms of profit/loss before tax on net sales decreased by 13 to 16 percentage points.
(65) The Community industry was profitable in the years 1997 and 1998 with average profitability between 8 % and 16 %. In the aftermath of the Asian crisis, they incurred losses in the range of 17 % and 12 % of turnover. As a result of the reorganisation, the Community industry just reached profitable levels again in the IP but these still remained far below sustainable profit margins.
Cash flow, return on investment and ability to raise capital
(66) The cash flow generated by the product concerned declined by 84 % during the period under consideration.
(67) The cash flow fell by 32 % in 1998 and a further 47 % in 1999. In 2000, it continued to decline and then stabilised in the IP.
(68) The return on capital employed developed similarly to the profitability and fell by 93 % between 1997 and the IP. The most significant decline occurred in 1999 when the Community industry incurred losses. Due to the reorganisation it improved by 19 % in 2000 and 21 % in the IP.
(69) The investigation has shown that the complaining Community producers were not experiencing difficulties in their ability to raise capital. In this respect, it should be noted that the shareholders of the Community industry decided to support the cellulose acetate business and to provide necessary capital.
Magnitude of dumping margin
(70) As concerns the impact on the Community industry of the magnitude of the actual margin of dumping, given the volume and the prices of the imports from the countries concerned, this impact is substantial.
(f) Conclusion on injury
(71) The examination of the abovementioned factors shows that between 1997 and the IP the situation of the Community industry deteriorated. This resulted in a deteriorating market share (- 12 %), profitability (between - 13 % and - 16 %), cash flow (- 84 %) and return on capital employed (-93 %). There were also negative effects as regards production volume (- 28 %) and sales volume (- 35 %). Staff was reduced by 29 % during the period under consideration. However, part of these negative developments were the result of the contraction in demand. The development in terms of capacity utilisation which looks at first sight positive, should be seen in the light of the decreasing sales and market share and the ensuing adjustment process undertaken by the Community industry in terms of capacity reduction.
(72) In the light of the foregoing it is provisionally concluded that the Community industry has suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3 of the basic Regulation.
F. CAUSATION
(a) Introduction
(73) In order to reach its conclusions on the cause of the injury suffered by the Community industry and in accordance with Article 3(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission services examined the impact of all known factors and their consequences on the situation in that industry. Known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time have injured the Community industry, were also examined to ensure that the possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
(b) Effects of the dumped imports
(74) Between 1997 and the IP, dumped imports from the countries concerned increased significantly in volume (63 %) and in market share (from 12 % in 1997 to 26 % in the IP). As regards the export prices, they decreased substantially during the whole period under consideration and undercut Community's industry prices during the IP on average by 2,9 %. Moreover, undercutting figures did not show the full impact of the dumped imports, since Community prices were depressed (see recital 54). All this coincided with the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry in terms of price reductions, reduced market shares as well as deteriorating profitability.
(75) Prices of dumped imports were below those of the Community industry throughout the period under consideration and exerted a pressure on them which forced the Community industry to decrease prices in spite of increasing costs of production. It is therefore considered that the dumped imports caused material injury to the Community industry.
(c) Effects of other factors
Performance of other Community producers
(76) One Community producer not supporting the complaint closed its production facility in the beginning of 2002, phasing out production already during the investigation period. Therefore it can be concluded that the products produced and sold by this only other Community producer did not contribute to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
(77) It was submitted that the increase in imports from the United States of America was only due to the lower sales volume by Celanese from its Community production. This argument was provisionally rejected, as the demoralisation of the production was an internal company decision whereas the investigation has to focus on the developments of dumped imports as a whole. Moreover, these dumped imports also coincided with the deterioration of the Community industry's situation.
Self-inflicted injury
(78) It was submitted that the Community industry imported filament yarn of cellulose acetate from the United States of America at low prices thereby inflicting injury upon itself. This purchase was due to timing problems in the production process. Given the small quantity involved (approximately 1 % of total imports from the countries concerned during the IP), it is provisionally concluded that these imports cannot have contributed to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Adverse exchange rate movements
(79) One exporting producer submitted that adverse currency rates (GBP/EUR) were a major contributing factor to the closure of two production plants of a Community producer in the United Kingdom. Indeed, in the press release announcing the plant closure, exchange rate problems were listed as a reason for the decision. However, after examination this seems to have been a minor factor in a wider context. Furthermore, the production facilities in the United Kingdom constituted only a small part of the Community production whereas most of the production capacity as well as the consumption is located in Italy and Spain. Therefore, it was provisionally concluded that this had only a minor impact on the Community industry, if any.
Contraction of demand
(80) Increased substitution of lower-priced polyester filament yarn for cellulose acetate yarn has occurred in many fabrics, including linings and apparels. In addition, the Community industry as well as the users suffered from competition from downstream products such as fabrics or garments directly imported from the Far East, reinforced after the Asian financial crisis. All parties involved in the proceeding agreed on this aspect. However, the sharp drop of consumption in the Community market occurred between 1998 and 1999 (- 28 %) whilst the imports from the countries concerned remained mainly stable. It was also during that period that the Community industry incurred heavy losses. Subsequently, i.e. in 2000, imports from the countries concerned more than doubled, thereby nearly doubling their market share as well. The consumption in the Community market increased after the Asian crisis by 6 % (1999-IP), whereas the sales volume of the Community industry remained stable during the same period. In terms of sales value, it lost another 6 %. The Community industry adjusted its production capacity as well as the number of employees to the contracted market, but during the IP due to the reduction in its market share, which has been taken over by the dumped imports, it was still only just breaking even. In other words, during the IP the problem for the Community industry was not the contraction in demand (because the industry has adjusted to that already before) but the dumped imports from the countries concerned. It is therefore provisionally concluded that the contraction of demand contributed only to a minor extent to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Imports from third countries
(81) According to the available information, the total import volume of the product concerned originating in third countries decreased by 62 %, and their market share fluctuated around 1 %. Therefore, they are provisionally considered not to have had a significant impact on the Community industry.
(d) Conclusion on causation
(82) Given the above analysis which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Community industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it is provisionally concluded that these other factors as such did not reverse the fact that the material injury found may be attributed to the dumped imports.
(83) It is therefore provisionally concluded that the dumped imports originating in Lithuania and the United States of America have caused material injury to the Community industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
G. COMMUNITY INTEREST
(84) In order to assess the Community interest, the Commission carried out an investigation into the likely effects of the imposition/non-imposition of anti-dumping measures on the economic operators concerned. Questionnaires were sent to all interested parties known to be concerned, including importers, other Community producers and users known to the Commission services.
(a) Interest of the Community industry
(85) Following an imposition of measures, it is expected that the volume of sales of the product concerned by the Community industry on the Community market would stabilise. This would enable the Community industry to recover lost market shares and, by increasing capacity utilisation, decrease unit production costs and increase productivity. Furthermore, the level of the Community industry's prices would in all likelihood increase moderately as a result. In conclusion, it is expected that the stabilisation in production and sales volume, on the one hand, and the further decrease in unit costs, on the other hand, combined with a moderate price increase, will allow the Community industry to improve its financial situation.
(86) On the other hand, should anti-dumping measures not be imposed, it is likely that the negative trend of the Community industry will continue. The Community industry is particularly marked by a loss of sales volume and market shares and insufficient profitability. Indeed, in view of the decreasing sales volume and the material injury suffered during the IP, it is obvious that the financial situation of the Community industry will deteriorate further in the absence of any measures. This would ultimately lead to further cuts in production, closures of certain production lines and therefore threaten employment and investments in the Community.
(87) Accordingly, it is provisionally concluded that the imposition of anti-dumping measures would allow the Community industry to recover from the injurious dumping.
(b) Interest of unrelated importers/traders in the Community
(88) Questionnaires were sent to nine importers named in the complaint, out of which five declared not to be concerned by the investigation as they did not import from the countries concerned or they did not import the product concerned at all during the IP, one is related to a producer in Lithuania and two declared to be users of the product concerned and accordingly received the corresponding questionnaire for users.
(89) A trader purchasing only from the Community industry was in favour of anti-dumping duties in order to stabilise the market.
(90) Therefore, it can be provisionally concluded that the likely effects of the imposition of anti-dumping measures on unrelated importers/traders would not be significant as no objections were raised.
(c) Interest of the user industry
(91) The main user of the product concerned in the Community is the textile industry producing linings, women's apparel and furnishings. Most of the users are located in Italy and Spain.
(92) Questionnaires were sent to 40 users out of which seven returned a complete questionnaire reply. They represent a total turnover of around EUR105 million and sales of nearly EUR1 million of products incorporating the product concerned. This means that 49 % of their turnover is generated by products incorporating the product concerned. Their purchases of filament yarn of cellulose acetate amounted to 2726 tons which represented 9,5 % of the total consumption in the Community.
(93) In addition, several users sent letters outlining their concerns regarding the possible imposition of anti-dumping duties.
(94) During the period under consideration, profitability of sales of products incorporating the product concerned in terms of profit/loss before taxes on net sales increased from 3,1 % to 5,1 %.
(95) Cellulose acetate presents on average around 27 % of the users' cost of production of products incorporating the product concerned which means that an imposition of a duty would have an impact on their costs of production. As the Community industry still has free capacity and the market might shrink even further, as well as there is also the possibility of sourcing from countries or companies not subject to anti-dumping duty, price increases, if any, are expected to be moderate.
(96) Nearly all users expect a decline in demand for filament yarn of cellulose acetate in the Community in the years to come due to the strong competition from the Far East both from finished products and alternative yarns. Consequently, the importance of the product concerned for users will diminish in the future.
(97) Users expressed quite diverse opinions on the possible imposition of duties. Some users stressed that the low-priced raw material is essential in order to compete with cheap imports of products from Asia using the product concerned as raw material. Other users claimed that the imports destabilise the market and therefore they supported the imposition of measures. Users processing imports from the countries concerned were against measures and users processing EU material were in favour of measures.
(98) Overall, given the diverse views, the user's profitability and the possibility to pass on at least partially price increased in the product concerned, it is provisionally concluded that the imposition of anti-dumping measures will not have serious consequences on the user industry.
(d) Interest of raw material suppliers
(99) The Community industry as well as one exporting producer buy the main raw material, cellulose flakes from sources in the Community. It was submitted that purchases by the Lithuanian exporting producer would come to a halt affecting the company from which it is sourcing its raw material seriously as this company has only a small customer base. As this claim was not substantiated, it was provisionally rejected.
(e) Competition and trade distorting effects
(100) It was submitted that the Community industry had a market sharing agreement and thus inflated prices artificially and that an imposition of a duty would lead to a monopoly of the Italian producer as the capacity of the Spanish producer is limited. As these allegations were not substantiated, they were provisionally rejected.
(f) Consequences for relations with third countries
(101) It has been argued that the imposition of measures is against the Community interest as it will have a negative impact on the Lithuania-EU relations. In this respect, it should be noted that the Community interest test is designed to examine the effect of a possible imposition or non-imposition of anti-dumping measures on the various economic operators in the Community. Therefore, the point raised is not included in the Community interest test.
(g) Conclusion on Community interest
(102) In the light of the above, it is provisionally concluded that no compelling reasons exist against imposing measures in the present case and that the application of measures would be in the interest of the Community.
H. PROVISIONAL MEASURES
(a) Injury elimination level
(103) The level of the provisional anti-dumping measures should be sufficient to eliminate the injurious effect caused to the Community industry by the dumped imports, without exceeding the dumping margins found. When calculating the amount of duty necessary to remove the effects of the injurious dumping, it was considered that any measures should allow the Community industry to cover its costs and obtain overall a profit before tax that could be reasonably achieved under normal conditions of competition, i.e. in the absence of dumped imports.
(104) On the basis of the information available, it was preliminarily found that a profit margin of 12 % of turnover could be regarded as an appropriate level which the Community industry could be expected to obtain in the absence of injurious dumping, taking into account the average level of profitability obtained by the Community Industry in the period 1997 to 1998 i.e. before the effects of the Asian crisis were felt (see recital 80). It is considered that in these years there was a normal competitive and representative situation on the Community market where Community producers competed normally with imports and where the Community industry, in the absence of injurious dumping, made a normal profit margin which in some cases exceeded the level of 12 %. The necessary price increase was then determined on the basis of a comparison of the weighted average import price, as established for the price undercutting calculations, with the non-injurious price of products sold by the Community industry on the Community market. The non-injurious price has been obtained by adjusting the sales price of the Community industry by the actual loss/profit made during the IP and by adding the abovementioned profit margin. Any difference resulting from this comparison was then expressed as a percentage of the total cif import value.
(105) The injury elimination margins thus established are as follows:
TABLE
(b) Provisional anti-dumping measures
(106) In the light of the foregoing, it is considered that, in accordance with Article 7(2) of the basic Regulation, a provisional anti-dumping duty should be imposed in respect of imports originating in Lithuania and the United States of America at the level of the lower of the injury margins found, as they are lower than the dumping margins.
(107) The levels of the duties proposed are as follows:
TABLE
(108) The individual company anti-dumping duty rates specified in this Regulation were established on the basis of the findings of the present investigation. Therefore, they reflect the situation found during that investigation with respect to these companies. These duty rates (as opposed to the country wide duty applicable to "all other companies") are thus exclusively applicable to imports of products originating in the country concerned and produced by the companies and thus by the specific legal entities mentioned. Imported products produced by any other company not specifically mentioned in the operative part of this Regulation with its name and address, including entities related to those specifically mentioned, cannot benefit from these rates and shall be subject to the duty rate applicable to "all other companies".
(109) Any claim requesting the application of these individual company anti-dumping duty rates (e.g. following a change in the name of the entity or following the setting up of new production or sales entities) should be addressed to the Commission(4) forthwith with all relevant information, in particular any modification in the company's activities linked to production, domestic and export sales associated with, for example, that name change or that change in the production and sales entities. The Commission, if appropriate, will, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, amend the Regulation accordingly by updating the list of companies benefiting from individual rates.
I. UNDERTAKINGS
(110) The sole cooperating exporting producer in Lithuania, expressed its willingness to offer an undertaking. However, it was provisionally determined that due to the large number of product types concerned in this case, the complexity of distinguishing between these different product types, and the large variance of the unit price of these product types, the monitoring of an undertaking would be impractical. Therefore, the Commission did not consider that an undertaking would provide a satisfactory solution for the purposes of this determination.
J. FINAL PROVISION
(111) In the interest of a sound administration, a period should be fixed within which the interested parties may make their views known in writing and request a hearing. Furthermore it should be stated that the findings made for the purpose of this Regulation are provisional and may have to be reconsidered for the purpose of any definitive finding,

Whereas Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 provides that the grading of pig carcases must be determined by estimating the content of lean meat in accordance with statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcase; whereas the authorization of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment; whereas this tolerance has been defined in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 of 24 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of the Community scale for grading pig carcases (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3127/94 (4);
Whereas the Austrian Government has requested the Commission to authorize the use of a single method of grading pig carcases on its territory and has submitted for this purpose the information required in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 before its amendment by Regulation (EC) No 3127/94; whereas the authorization of that method of grading as a transitional method applicable until 31 December 1997 is justified for the purposes of facilitating the transition from Austria's current grading system to the Community system;
Whereas no modification of the grading method may be authorized except by means of a Commission decision adopted in the light of experience gained; whereas, for this reason, the present authorization may be revoked;
Whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 lays down that Member States may be authorized to provide for a presentation of pig carcases different from the standard presentation defined in the same Article where commercial practice or technical requirements warrant this;
Whereas in Austria the technical requirements relating to the use of the grading method and, consequently, commercial practice, necessitate the attachment of the flare fat, kidneys and diaphragm to the carcase; whereas this should be taken into account in adjusting the weight recorded to the weight for standard presentation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Use of the assessment method known as the 'Zwei-Punkte-Meßverfahren (ZP)`, details of which are given in the Annex hereto, is hereby authorized as the only method for the grading of pig carcases in Austria in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84.
Article 2
No modification of the assessment method (site of measurement or formula) shall be authorized.
Article 3
Notwithstanding the standard presentation referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84, the pig carcases can be presented with the flare fat, kidneys, and diaphragm when being weighed and graded. In order to establish quotations for pig carcases on a comparable basis, the recorded hot weight shall be decreased by 2,3 %.
Article 4
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Austria.
It shall apply until 31 December 1997.
