Type: Decision_IMPL Subject Matter: health; marketing; agricultural activity; plant product; technology and technical regulations; foodstuff Date Published: 2019-08-02 2.8.2019 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 204/60 COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2019/1303 of 26 July 2019 authorising the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize 5307 (SYN-Ã53Ã7-1), pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on genetically modified food and feed (notified under document C(2019) 5493) (Only the Dutch and French texts are authentic) (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed (1), and in particular Article 7(3) and Article 19(3) thereof, Whereas: (1) On 7 April 2011, Syngenta Crop Protection AG submitted, through its affiliated company Syngenta Crop Protection NV/SA, an application in accordance with Articles 5 and 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, for the placing on the market of foods, food ingredients and feed containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize 5307 (the application) to the national competent authority of Germany. The application also covered the placing on the market of products containing or consisting of genetically modified maize 5307 for uses other than food and feed, with the exception of cultivation. (2) In accordance with Articles 5(5) and 17(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, the application included information and conclusions about the risk assessment carried out in accordance with the principles set out in Annex II to Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) and the information required by Annexes III and IV to that Directive. It also included a monitoring plan for environmental effects in accordance with Annex VII to Directive 2001/18/EC. (3) On 5 May 2015, the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) issued an opinion, in accordance with Articles 6 and 18 of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 (3). The Authority was not able to reach an overall conclusion on maize 5307 due to an inadequate 28-day toxicity study provided for protein eCry3.1Ab. (4) On 8 December 2016, the applicant provided a new 28-day toxicity study on protein eCry3.1Ab. (5) On 11 April 2018, the Authority published a statement complementing its scientific opinion (4), taking into consideration the supplementary toxicity study. The Authority concluded that maize 5307, as assessed in the initial opinion and in the supplementary toxicity study, is as safe and nutritious as its conventional counterpart in the scope of the application. (6) In its opinion, the Authority considered all the questions and concerns raised by the Member States in the context of the consultation of the national competent authorities provided for by Articles 6(4) and 18(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. (7) The Authority also concluded that the monitoring plan for environmental effects consisting of a general surveillance plan, submitted by the applicant, was in line with the intended uses of the products. (8) Taking into account those conclusions, the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize 5307 should be authorised for the uses listed in the application. (9) A unique identifier should be assigned to genetically modified maize 5307 in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004 (5). (10) On the basis of the Authority's opinion, no specific labelling requirements, other than those laid down in Article 13(1) and Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 and in Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1830/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), appear to be necessary for the products covered by this Decision. However, in order to ensure the use of those products within the limits of the authorisation granted by this Decision, the labelling of the products containing or consisting of genetically modified maize 5307, with the exception of food products, should contain a clear indication that the products in question are not intended for cultivation. (11) In order to account for the implementation and the results of the activities set out in the monitoring plan for environmental effects, the authorisation holder should submit annual reports, presented in accordance with the standard reporting format requirements laid down in Commission Decision 2009/770/EC (7). (12) The opinion of the Authority does not justify the imposition of specific conditions or restrictions for the placing on the market, for the use and handling, including post-market monitoring requirements regarding the consumption of the food and feed, or for the protection of particular ecosystems/environment or geographical areas, as provided for in Article 6(5)(e) and Article 18(5)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. (13) All relevant information on the authorisation of the products should be entered in the Community register of genetically modified food and feed referred to in Article 28(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. (14) This Decision is to be notified through the Biosafety Clearing-House to the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity, pursuant to Articles 9(1) and 15(2)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1946/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8). (15) The Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed has not delivered an opinion within the time limit laid down by its Chairman. This implementing act was deemed to be necessary and the chair submitted it to the appeal committee for further deliberation. The appeal committee did not deliver an opinion, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 Genetically modified organism and unique identifier Genetically modified maize (Zea mays L.) 5307, as specified in point (b) of the Annex to this Decision, is assigned the unique identifier SYN-Ã53Ã7-1, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 65/2004.

In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Directive should be codified. (2) Certain safeguards which, for the protection of the interests of members and others, are required by Member States of companies and firms within the meaning of the second paragraph of Article 48 of the Treaty should be coordinated with a view to making such safeguards equivalent throughout the Community. (3) In this field, First Council Directive 68/151/EEC of 9 March 1968 on coordination of safeguards which, for the protection of the interests of members and others, are required by Member States of companies within the meaning of the second paragraph of Article 58 of the Treaty, with a view to making such safeguards equivalent throughout the Community (5), Fourth Council Directive 78/660/EEC of 25 July 1978 based on Article 54(3)(g) of the Treaty on the annual accounts of certain types of companies (6) and Seventh Council Directive 83/349/EEC of 13 June 1983 based on Article 54(3)(g) of the Treaty on consolidated accounts (7), respectively concerning disclosure, the validity of commitments, nullity, annual accounts and consolidated accounts, apply to all share-capital companies. However, Second Council Directive 77/91/EEC of 13 December 1976 on coordination of safeguards which, for the protection of the interests of members and others, are required by Member States of companies within the meaning of the second paragraph of Article 58 of the Treaty, in respect of the formation of public limited liability companies and the maintenance and alteration of their capital, with a view to making such safeguards equivalent (8), Third Council Directive 78/855/EEC of 9 October 1978 based on Article 54(3)(g) of the Treaty concerning mergers of public limited liability companies (9), and Sixth Council Directive 82/891/EEC of 17 December 1982 based on Article 54(3)(g) of the Treaty, concerning the division of public limited liability companies (10), relating respectively to formation and capital, mergers and divisions, apply only to public limited liability companies. (4) A legal instrument is required allowing the limitation of liability of the individual entrepreneur throughout the Community, without prejudice to the laws of the Member States, which, in exceptional circumstances, require that entrepreneur to be liable for the obligations of his undertaking. (5) A private limited liability company may be a single-member company from the time of its formation, or may become one because its shares have come to be held by a single shareholder. Pending the coordination of national provisions on the laws relating to groups, Member States may lay down certain special provisions and penalties for cases where a natural person is the sole member of several companies or where a single-member company or any other legal person is the sole member of a company. The sole aim of this power is to take account of the differences which exist in certain national laws. For that purpose, Member States may in specific cases lay down restrictions on the use of single-member companies or remove the limits on the liabilities of sole members. Member States are free to lay down rules to cover the risks that single-member companies may present as a consequence of having single members, particularly in order to ensure that the subscribed capital is paid. (6) The fact that all the shares have come to be held by a single shareholder and the identity of the sole member should be disclosed by an entry in a register accessible to the public. (7) Decisions taken by the sole member exercising the powers of the general meeting should be recorded in writing. (8) Contracts between a sole member and his company as represented by him should likewise be recorded in writing, in so far as such contracts do not relate to current operations concluded under normal conditions. (9) This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time limits for transposition into national law and application of the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B, HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: Article 1 The coordination measures prescribed by this Directive shall apply to the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the types of company listed in Annex I. Article 2 1. A company may have a sole member when it is formed and also when all its shares come to be held by a single person (single-member company). 2. Member States may, pending coordination of national laws relating to groups, lay down special provisions or penalties for cases where: (a) a natural person is the sole member of several companies; or (b) a single-member company or any other legal person is the sole member of a company. Article 3 Where a company becomes a single-member company because all its shares come to be held by a single person, that fact, together with the identity of the sole member, must either be recorded in the file or entered in the register as referred to in Article 3(1) and (2) of Directive 68/151/EEC or be entered in a register kept by the company and accessible to the public. Article 4 1. The sole member shall exercise the powers of the general meeting of the company. 2. Decisions taken by the sole member in the field referred to in paragraph 1 shall be recorded in minutes or drawn up in writing. Article 5 1.

Safeguard measures may be taken under Articles 24 and 27 (3) (d) of this Interim Agreement. (2) On 29 July and 3 August 1992 respectively, Germany and Italy requested that the Commission adopt forthwith safeguard measures under the Interim Agreement in respect of imports of steel pipes falling within CN codes 7304 and 7306 originating in Czechoslovakia. (3) In their requests the German and Italian authorities claimed that the products in question were being imported in such increased quantities and under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause: - serious injury to domestic producers of like or directly competing products, or - serious disturbances in the sector concerned or difficulties which could bring about serious deterioration in the economic situation of a region. (4) In support of their claim, the German authorities told the Commission that imports from Czechoslovakia of unwelded steel pipes falling within CN code 7304 totalled 37 377 tonnes during the first four months of 1992, compared with 7 226 tonnes in the same period of 1991, an increase of 420 %. The result has been an increase in the share of German consumption held by piping from Czechoslovakia from 8,3 to 18%. During the same period, imports of welded pipes falling within CN code 7306 increased by 652 %, from 3 125 to 23 500 tonnes. Prices for these imports undercut Community market prices by 20 to 30 %. (5) The German authorities argued that the suddenness and magnitude of this increase in imports, the volumes concerned and the prices charged were seriously disturbing the German market in the products in question. German pipe manufacturers have recorded an appreciable decline in orders and a fall in output. The amount of unwelded-pipe-making capacity in use has fallen below 50 % in Germany, well below the 75 % regarded as the threshold for profitability in the sector. A similar situation can be found in the industry producing threaded welded pipe, where business has fallen off seriously. The downward trend has led to an overall worsening in the situation of German pipe producers, who have had to introduce short-time working, close some production lines and prepare to lay off staff. It is also reflected in the financial results of most of the firms involved, which have registered losses. The adverse impact on German producers of the increase in imports from Czechoslovakia is compounded by the general tailing-off of economic activity. (6) The German authorities also argued that without protective measures it was highly probable that the very rapid growth of imports originating in Czechoslovakia would continue and perhaps increase even further owing to the increase in Czechoslovakia's capacity to export to Germany. This is attributable both to the reduction in Czechoslovakia's domestic consumption and the major decline in orders from its traditional clients in other countries of Eastern Europe, and to the fact that the German market's geographical location makes it a natural outlet for Czechoslovakia's industry. Such a trend would further aggravate the serious injury to German pipe producers. (7) In the light of the above the Commission considers that the criteria laid down in Articles 24 and 27 (d) of the Interim Agreement have been met and that it is necessary to adopt forthwith protective measures in respect of pipes falling within CN codes 7304 and 7306 originating in Czechoslovakia in order to counter the injury caused to German pipe producers. The Commission considers that the imports in question should be limited using the level of imports in 1991 as a reference. This quantitative limit should, however, be increased by 20 % to allow for a reasonable growth in imports. (8) The Italian authorities have also provided the Commission with information on trends in imports of the products concerned entering the Italian market from Czechoslovakia. The Commission will closely monitor trends in those imports and, in the light of its findings, re-examine, if necessary, the situation on the Italian market, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 1. The importation into the Federal Republic of Germany of steel pipes falling within CN codes 7304 and 7306 originating in the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic shall be subject to presentation of an import authorization issued by the German authorities. 2. The import authorization referred to in paragraph 1 shall be issued by the German authorities against an annual quota of 62 230 tonnes for CN code 7304 and 26 650 tonnes for CN code 7306 for the year 1992, with account being taken of amounts already imported. Article 2 This Decision shall not prevent the release for free circulation of products which, at the time of its entry into force, were already under way to the Community.

doc-19	The European Union's commitment to sustainable agriculture has led to the development of a comprehensive policy framework designed to support local farming practices and promote organic production. Integral to these efforts is the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which provides guidance on land use, crop rotation, and the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. The CAP's emphasis on environmentally conscious farming is poised to augment soil quality and reduce pollution. Furthermore, the EU's agricultural subsidies are structured to encourage farmers to adopt practices that preserve the natural habitat and deter over-cultivation. This policy aims to maintain the balance of local ecosystems while boosting the profitability of European agriculture. The initiatives also encompass educational programs for farmers about the benefits of maintaining hedgerows and other natural features conducive to wildlife. Despite these comprehensive strategies, the direct correlation between CAP and the levels of indigenous biodiversity is yet to be conclusively quantified. Continuous studies and field research are crucial in assessing the effectiveness of these EU policies in promoting biodiversity across European farmlands.

PROCEDURE(1) On 13 October 1997, following its adoption by the lower house of the German Parliament (Bundestag) and its approval by the upper house (Bundesrat), Germany notified the investment allowance 1999 for the new LÃ ¤nder provided for in the Law on the Continuation of Economic Assistance in the new LÃ ¤nder of 18 August 1997 (Gesetz zur Fortsetzung der wirtschaftlichen FÃ ¶rderung in den neuen LÃ ¤ndern). The case was registered under number N 702/97. At a meeting in Bonn on 16 January 1998 and at meetings in Brussels on 28 May and 7 July 1998, and by memoranda dated 26 and 27 January, 19 June and 22 July 1998, Germany provided further information on the scheme, including studies running to several hundred pages on the socioeconomic situation in the new LÃ ¤nder.(2) By letter dated 30 December 1998, the Commission informed Germany that it had decided to initiate Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty proceedings in respect of certain aspects of the scheme (aid C 72/98) and to approve other aspects of the Law provided that proceedings on appropriate measures pursuant to Article 88(1) of the Treaty were completed by 1 January 2000.(3) The Commission's decision to initiate proceedings was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(2). The Commission called on interested parties to submit their comments.(4) The comments which the Commission received from interested parties were forwarded to Germany, which gave its reactions to them by letter dated 18 December 2000.(5) Germany put forward its own comments by letters dated 8 April 1999, 26 April 1999, 28 May 1999, 14 July 1999, 25 October 1999, 14 February 2000, 27 April 2000, 18 January 2001 and 14 February 2001 and at meetings held on 11 and 12 May 1999, 10 December 1999, 27 March 2000, 5 June 2000, 30 October 2000 and 18 January 2001.(6) By letter dated 25 October 1999, Germany submitted a new notification (which was registered under N 671/99). This concerned an increase in the aid rates for certain types of initial investment begun after 31 December 1999.(7) The notification was supplemented, initially on 10 December 1999, by two letters which were handed over at the meeting in Brussels and, subsequently, by letters dated 27 January and 14 February 2000. By letter dated 9 November 2000, the notification was amended once again and the assistance rates in certain border areas increased.(8) At meetings held on 27 March 2000, 5 June 2000 and 30 October 2000 and by letters dated 27 April 2000, 29 August 2000, 6 October 2000, 20 November 2000, 11 January 2001, 18 January 2001 and 14 February 2001, Germany provided additional information requested by the Commission.(9) During these proceedings, Germany amended the text of the original Law which had prompted the Commission to initiate proceedings (Article 1 of the Law on the Continuation of Economic Assistance in the new LÃ ¤nder of 18 August 1997, published in the Bundesgesetzblatt 1997, Part I, No 59 of 25 August 1997, the "Investment Allowance Law 1999") by means of two new Laws (Article 8 of the Tax Adjustment Law 1999, published in the Bundesgesetzblatt 1999, Part I, No 59 of 29 December 1999, which amended the Investment Allowance Law 1999, and Article 1 of the Law of 20 December 2000 amending the Investment Allowance Law 1999, published in the Bundesgesetzblatt 2000, Part I, No 58 of 27 December 2000)(3).(10) In agreement with Germany, the Commission will not deal here with aid being granted after 2003 (i.e. after the period of validity of the German regional aid map has expired).II. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURE FOLLOWING THE AMENDMENTS MADE BY GERMANY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION PROCEEDINGS (C 72/98), THE APPROPRIATE MEASURES (E 5/98) AND THE NEW NOTIFICATION (N 671/99)(11) Under the Law, a tax allowance on investment is granted for the acquisition and production of equipment and buildings in firms established in the five new LÃ ¤nder and Berlin(4).(12) The measure is a tax measure which in principle (see recitals 14, 15 and 16) gives firms in all branches of the economy entitlement to the granting of the investment allowance.(13) The budget is set at EUR 2 to 2,5 billion a year.(14) Firms in certain branches of the economy governed by specific rules are eligible only if the relevant Community rules are complied with. This applies to the following sectors: ECSC sectors, shipbuilding, motor vehicle industry, synthetic fibres, agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture, and transport(5).(15) The granting of the investment allowance to firms in difficulty will be notified individually if the recipient firm:- does not meet the definition of SMEs,- has received restructuring aid as a firm in difficulty,- is in a restructuring phase(6).(16) The investment allowance in respect of investment coming under the multisectoral framework on regional aid will be determined only when the Commission has laid down the maximum authorised aid intensity(7).(17) Investment allowances may be granted to:- firms involved in manufacturing industry or production-related services(8),- craft firms with no more than 250 employees(9),- firms operating in the distributive trades in a town centre with no more than 50 employees(10).(18) An investment allowance may be granted for the acquisition and production of equipment(11) and buildings(12). The investment may be either initial investment or replacement investment (see recitals 20, 25, 26 and 27).(19) In all cases, investment may receive assistance only if(13):- it was begun after 24 August 1997,- it was completed after 31 December 1998,- it is completed before 31 December 2005 where the firm is involved in manufacturing industry or production-related services,- it is completed before 31 December 2002 where the firm is a craft firm with no more than 250 employees or a firm operating in the distributive trades in a town centre with no more than 50 employees.(20) The only buildings eligible are those which comply with the definition of initial investment(14)(15).(21) The investment allowance amounts to:- 10 % of the assessment basis in the case of initial investment begun before 1 January 2000(16),- 12,5 % of the assessment basis in the case of initial investment begun after 31 December 1999(17),- 5 % of the assessment basis in the case of initial investment begun after 31 December 2000 in certain border areas adjacent to the Czech Republic and Poland (Interreg III) which do not form part of the Berlin labour market region(18).(22) In all instances, economic goods to which the investment allowance applies must remain in the firm for five years or, if shorter, for their normal useful life(19).(23) As noted in recitals 17 and 18, a distinction is made, in the case of equipment, between initial investment and replacement investment, firms involved in manufacturing industry and firms involved in production-related services with no more than 250 employees and other recipient firms.(24) Equipment investment begun after 31 December 1999 is eligible only if the equipment remains in the firm for five years or, if shorter, for its normal useful life(20).(25) Initial investment>TABLE>(26) Replacement investment>TABLE>(27) It should be noted that, in the case of replacement investment in the Land of Berlin, the allowance is granted only in respect of investment completed before 1 January 2000 in East Berlin (operating aid is allowed only in that part of Berlin)(21).(28) With the exception of investment begun after 31 December 1999 in the Brandenburg municipalities of the Berlin labour market region, the allowance may be granted in all five new LÃ ¤nder.(29) The investment allowance is granted in respect of the acquisition and production costs of investment projects completed in the relevant year, including advance payments and partial production costs incurred in the year. Eligibility extends only to investment which was begun after 24 August 1997 and completed before 1 January 2005, in so far as the costs were incurred after 31 December 1998. The investment must be completed before the end of 2005, and, in certain cases, before the end of 2002(22).(30) The investment must have been begun after 24 August 1997 and completed no later than 31 December 2003(23).(31) Investment is deemed to have been begun at the time when the economic goods were ordered or a start was made on producing them. Investment is deemed to have been completed when the economic goods have been acquired or produced(24).(32) Aircraft and cars are not eligible(25).III. SUMMARY1. The doubts as to the compatibility of the originally notified scheme with the common market which prompted the Commission to initiate the informal investigation procedure.2. The appropriate measures proposed in the Commission letter of 30 December 1998.(33) The proceedings initiated by the Commission related to the following aspects of the Law (aid C 72/98):(a) initial investment in Berlin after 31 December 1999 (no Commission decision had recognised Berlin as eligible under Article 87(3)(a) or (c) of the EC Treaty);(b) replacement investment. Here, the rules specifying that operating aid must be degressive and limited in time were not complied with. In addition, it was unclear whether Berlin qualified after 1999 for the derogations provided for in Article 87(3)(a) of the EC Treaty or whether West Berlin qualified in 1999 for the derogations provided for in Article 87(3)(c) and whether accordingly operating aid could be deemed lawful;(c) compliance with the special rules on the granting of investment aid for firms in sectors to which specific Community rules apply or which, under the criteria set out in the multisectoral framework on regional aid, have to be notified individually;(d) investment begun before publication of the Law on 25 August 1997 (there was at that time no apparent need for the aid).(34) The Commission authorised certain components of the Law, including aid for initial investment in the five new LÃ ¤nder up to the end of 2004 and for initial investment in Berlin in 1999, in so far as the investment was begun after 25 August 1997 and was not subject to special Community rules or to the multisectoral framework.(35) Such authorisation was given subject to the condition that appropriate measures pursuant to Article 88(1) of the EC Treaty be implemented so as to bring the scheme into line with the new regional aid guidelines as from 1 January 2000, particularly as regards:(a) the maintenance of the investment for a period of five years;(b) compliance with the German regional aid map as from 1 January 2000;(c) the requirement that there be an appropriate contribution from the recipient amounting to 25 %;(d) the definition of the concept of initial investment.IV. COMMENTS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES AND COMMENTS FROM GERMANY(36) The Commission received comments from several interested parties.(37) The main point made was that the notified scheme did not take account of the specific features of certain industries (breakfast cereals, synthetic fibres etc.); in some cases, specific examples of investment projects in the new LÃ ¤nder were given to illustrate that the granting of aid in these sectors has to be notified individually or completely ruled out.(38) Germany pointed out in its comments that the original draft had been amended in order to take account of the special Community rules governing certain industries.(39) It was also emphasised that the Law represented a reasonable compromise between the obligations imposed by Community competition law and the requirements of regional policy.V. ACCEPTANCE OF THE COMMISSION'S COMMENTS AND INCORPORATION OF ALL NECESSARY AMENDMENTS IN THE LAW BY GERMANY(40) The amendments concern:(a) the inclusion of an explicit reference to the individual notification requirement provided for in the multisectoral framework;(b) the inclusion of an explicit reference to the specific Community rules applicable to the so-called sensitive sectors;(c) the exclusion of aid for replacement investment carried out in Berlin after 31 December 1999;(d) the restriction of the aid to investment begun after 25 August 1997;(e) compliance with the requirement that operating aid be degressive and limited in time;(f) the granting of aid for investment begun after 31 December 2003 to be subject to approval of the regional aid map by the Commission for the subsequent period, and any aid granted must comply with the regional aid map approved.VI. ASSESSMENT OF THE MEASURE FOLLOWING THE AMENDMENTS MADE BY GERMANY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE (C 72/98), THE PROPOSED APPROPRIATE MEASURES (E 5/98) AND THE NEW NOTIFICATION (N 671/99)(41) Existence of aid(42) The investment allowances provided for in the scheme constitute state aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty and Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement, since they assist investment by the recipient undertakings, including undertakings operating in sectors in which there is trade between Member States. The investment allowances affect trade between Member States and distort or threaten to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings and the production of certain goods.(43) They are intended in particular for investment in the new LÃ ¤nder and in Berlin and thus constitute regional aid.(44) Lawfulness of the aid(45) By adopting the Law subject to approval by the Commission as regards the State aid rules and by notifying the scheme prior to its entry into force, Germany has complied with its obligations under Article 88(3).(46) It must be examined whether the scheme is compatible with Article 87(3)(a) and (c) of the EC Treaty in conjunction with the guidelines on national regional aid(26).1. Aid for initial investment(47) This component of the scheme concerns initial investment within the meaning of point 4.4 of the guidelines. What is involved is therefore investment-related aid.(48) The requirements laid down in the Commission decisions on the German regional aid map are complied with.(49) The investment must have been started after 24 August 1997 and no later than 31 December 2003(27).(50) In agreement with Germany, the Commission will not express an opinion here on aid granted after 2003 (i.e. after the period of validity of the German regional aid map has expired). Aid will be granted for investment begun after 31 December 2003 only after approval of and in line with the regional aid map for the period subsequent to that date (the German map was approved only up to the end of 2003)(28).(51) As regards investment begun after 31 December 1999 and before 31 December 2003, it should be noted that the maximum intensities for investment aid provided for in the German regional aid map are complied with. Since 1 January 2000, the maximum aid rate in Berlin and in the Brandenburg municipalities of the Berlin labour market region is 20 % net and in the other new LÃ ¤nder 35 % net(29).(52) The rules on the cumulation of aid are complied with.(53) Where the investment allowance is combined with other public assistance under the joint Federal Government/LÃ ¤nder scheme, the aid application must show whether any other State financing has been applied for or granted. The investment allowance is explicitly mentioned. The amount applied for or already approved is taken into account so that the aid ceiling is not exceeded. The provision of incorrect information is punishable, and partial repayment may be required as a result of ex post checks(30).(54) Where the investment allowance is combined with strictly regional aid, each of the relevant LÃ ¤nder has given an undertaking to the Commission that it will comply with the cumulation ceilings and will if necessary provide supplementary explanations.(55) Aided investment begun after 31 December 1999 must remain for at least five years in the recipient firm; however, if the normal useful life of the relevant asset is shorter, such shorter period applies.(56) The requirement that the recipient must make a minimum contribution of his own is complied with, since all the other aid schemes in the new LÃ ¤nder contain this provision.(57) The special Community rules applicable to specific sectors are complied with, as is the multisectoral framework and the rules applicable to firms in difficulty.2. Aid for replacement investment(58) The requirements laid down in the Commission decisions on the German regional aid map are complied with.(59) The investment must have been commenced after 24 August 1997 and no later than 31 December 2003(31).(60) It should be emphasised here that, in agreement with Germany, the Commission will not at present express any view on aid granted after 2003.(61) Aid will be granted for investments commenced after 31 December 2003 only following approval of and in line with the German regional aid map for the subsequent period (the current regional aid map was approved only up to the end of 2003)(32).(62) In the case of replacement investment carried out in Berlin, the aid is restricted to investment completed before 1 January 2000 in East Berlin (operating aid is allowed only in that part of Berlin)(33).(63) The operating aid will now be provided in such a way as to be degressive and limited in time (up to the end of 2004).(64) It should be noted in particular that the Federal Government gave an assurance, in a letter dated 16 February 2001, that the granting of the investment allowance in respect of replacement investment by firms with no more than 250 employees will not be extended beyond the investment completed before 1 January 2005. In the same letter, the Federal Government confirmed that the granting of the investment allowance in respect of replacement investment by firms with more than 250 employees will remain limited to investment which was completed before 1 January 2002.(65) In its decision to initiate the formal investigation procedure, the Commission recognised the difficult socioeconomic situation which continues to exist in the new LÃ ¤nder; it noted that the aid seemed justified in the light of other economic indicators (GDP, unemployment rate, export ratio and labour productivity).(66) As the Commission has acknowledged in a number of its decisions, the main handicap for East German firms is their significant lack of equity resources.(67) It should also be noted that the aid intensities are well below those granted in the case of initial investment and consequently the part of the budget allocated to replacement investment will probably be much smaller than that for initial investment.(68) In its decision to initiate the formal investigation procedure, the Commission did not raise any objections regarding the nature or contribution of the aid to regional development.(69) As far as the contribution to regional development and the nature of the aid granted are concerned, operating aid is granted only in the form of aid for replacement investment carried out in one of the new LÃ ¤nder.(70) It is thus ensured that:(a) the aid relates to an activity actually carried out in the region and is proportionate to that activity,(b) the aid is not directed at all firms, but only at those which invest in the renewal or modernisation of the regional productive apparatus, i.e. the only firms which need aid,(c) any impact of the aid in terms of prompting the relocation of firms established in other Community regions should remain insignificant.(71) The special Community rules applicable to specific sectors are complied with, as are the multisectoral framework and the rules applicable to firms in difficulty.VII. CONCLUSION(72) The Commission finds that the doubts as to the compatibility of the originally notified measure with the common market have been dispelled as a result of the changes made since the initiation of the formal investigation procedure.(73) The Commission finds that the measure as renotified (and registered under number N 671/99) does not give rise to any doubts as to its compatibility with the common market.(74) The scheme is therefore compatible with the common market under Article 87(3)(a) of the EC Treaty in the case of the five new LÃ ¤nder and under Article 87(3)(c) in the case of the Land of Berlin,HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:Article 1The State aid scheme "investment allowance 1999" which Germany is planning to implement is compatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 87(3) of the EC Treaty until 31 December 2003.Implementation of this aid scheme is accordingly authorised for the period up to 31 December 2003.Article 2This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.Done at Brussels, 28 February 2001.For the CommissionMario MontiMember of the Commission(1) OJ C 76, 19.3.1999, p. 2.(2) See footnote 1.(3) References to the individual articles in the Investment Allowance Law 1999 are given in the footnotes; a single asterisk or two asterisks indicate whether the articles were adjusted by the first or second amending Law.(4) Article 1(2).(5) Article 2(2) and (3), Annex 1* and.(6) Article 6(2).(7) Article 6(2).(8) Article 2(2)(1) and (3)(1).(9) Article 2(2)(2) and (3)(2).(10) Article 2(2)(3) and (3)(3).(11) Article 2(2).(12) Article 2(3).(13) Article 2(4).(14) First sentence of Article 2(3).(15) The term initial investment is defined in Article 2(8).(16) Article 2(6)(1).(17) Article 2(6)(2).(18) Article 2(6)(3)** and Annex 2.(19) First sentence of Article 2(2)(3).(20) Article 2 (1) and 2 (1)(2) and (2)(2) and (2)(3).(21) Article 10(3)(2).(22) Article 2(5).(23) Article 2(4)(2)* in conjunction with Article 10(1).(24) Article 2(4)(2).(25) Article 2(1).(26) OJ C 74, 10.3.1998, p. 9.(27) Article 2(4)(2)* in conjunction with Article 10(1).(28) Article 10(1).(29) Article 2(6) and (7)* and *.(30) Point 2.5.1 of the 29th Framework Plan and point 2.5 of the 28th Framework Plan of the joint Federal Government/LÃ ¤nder scheme for improving regional economic structures; points 7 and 3.8.1 of the declaration form.(31) Article 2(4)(2).(32) Article 10(1).(33) Article 10(3)(2).

On 26 January 2004, the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 131/2004 (4) giving effect to Common Position 2004/31/CFSP. (2) On 30 July 2004, the UN Security Council adopted UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1556 (2004) imposing an arms embargo on Sudan. On 29 March 2005, the UN Security Council adopted UNSCR 1591 (2005) imposing certain restrictions on those who impede the peace process, constitute a threat to stability in Darfur and the region, commit violations of international humanitarian or human rights law or other atrocities, violate the arms embargo or are responsible for certain offensive military flights in and over the Darfur region. (3) On 30 May 2005, the Council adopted Common Position 2005/411/CFSP (5) which integrated the measures imposed by Common Position 2004/31/CFSP and the measures to be implemented pursuant to UNSCR 1591(2005) into a single legal act. (4) On 18 July 2005, the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 1184/2005 (6) giving effect to Common Position 2005/411/CFSP and imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons impeding the peace process and breaking international law in the conflict in the Darfur region in Sudan. (5) On 18 July 2011, the Council adopted Decision 2011/423/CFSP (7) which extended the scope of application of the arms embargo to South Sudan. (6) On 10 July 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/450/CFSP separating the measures concerning Sudan and integrating them into a single legal act. (7) For the sake of clarity, measures concerning Sudan should be separated from measures concerning South Sudan. Regulation (EC) No 131/2004 and Regulation (EC) No 1184/2005 should therefore be repealed and replaced by this Regulation in so far as they concern Sudan. Regulation (EC) No 131/2004 should also be replaced by Council Regulation (EU) No 748/2014 (8) in so far as it concerns South Sudan. (8) The power to amend the list in Annex I to this Regulation should be exercised by the Council, in view of the specific threat to international peace and security in the region posed by the situation in Sudan and in order to ensure consistency with the process for amending and reviewing the Annex to Decision 2014/450/CFSP. (9) For the implementation of this Regulation, and in order to create maximum legal certainty within the Union, the names and other relevant data concerning natural and legal persons, entities and bodies whose funds and economic resources should be frozen in accordance with this Regulation, should be made public. Any processing of personal data should comply with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9) and Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (10). (10) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force immediately, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply: (a) brokering services means: (i) the negotiation or arrangement of transactions for the purchase, sale or supply of goods and technology, or of financial and technical services, from a third country to any other third country; or (ii) the selling or buying of goods and technology or of financial and technical services, that are located in third countries for their transfer to another third country; (b) claim means any claim, whether asserted by legal proceedings or not, made before or after the date of entry into force of this Regulation, under or in connection with a contract or transaction, and includes in particular: (i) a claim for performance of any obligation arising under or in connection with a contract or transaction; (ii) a claim for extension or payment of a bond, financial guarantee or indemnity of whatever form; (iii) a claim for compensation in respect of a contract or transaction; (iv) a counterclaim; (v) a claim for the recognition or enforcement, including by the procedure of exequatur, of a judgment, an arbitration award or an equivalent decision, wherever made or given; (c) contract or transaction means any transaction of whatever form and whatever the applicable law, whether comprising one or more contracts or similar obligations made between the same or different parties; for that purpose contract includes a bond, guarantee or indemnity, particularly a financial guarantee or financial indemnity, and credit, whether legally independent or not, as well as any related provision arising under, or in connection with, the transaction; (d) competent authorities refers to the competent authorities of the Member States as identified on the websites listed in Annex II; (e) economic resources means assets of every kind, whether tangible or intangible, movable or immovable, which are not funds, but may be used to obtain funds, goods or services; (f) freezing of economic resources means preventing the use of economic resources to obtain funds, goods or services in any way, including, but not limited to, by selling, hiring or mortgaging them; (g) freezing of funds means preventing any move, transfer, alteration, use of, access to, or dealing with funds in any way that would result in any change in their volume, amount, location, ownership, possession, character, destination or other change that would enable the funds to be used, including portfolio management; (h) funds means financial assets and benefits of every kind, including, but not limited to: (i) cash, cheques, claims on money, drafts, money orders and other payment instruments; (ii) deposits with financial institutions or other entities, balances on accounts, debts and debt obligations; (iii) publicly- and privately-traded securities and debt instruments, including stocks and shares, certificates representing securities, bonds, notes, warrants, debentures and derivatives contracts; (iv) interest, dividends or other income on or value accruing from or generated by assets; (v) credit, right of set-off, guarantees, performance bonds or other financial commitments; (vi) letters of credit, bills of lading, bills of sale; and (vii) documents showing evidence of an interest in funds or financial resources; (i) Sanctions Committee means the UN Security Council Committee established pursuant to paragraph 3 of UNSCR 1591 (2005); (j) technical assistance means any technical support related to repairs, development, manufacture, assembly, testing, maintenance, or any other technical service, and may take forms such as instruction, advice, training, transmission of working knowledge or skills or consulting services, including verbal forms of assistance; (k) territory of the Union means the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in the Treaty, including their airspace.

ANNEX I LIST OF NATURAL AND LEGAL PERSONS, ENTITIES AND BODIES REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 5 A. Natural persons 1. Last name : ELHASSAN First name(s) : Gaffar Mohammed Alias : Gaffar Mohmed Elhassan Date of birth/Place of birth/nationality/residence : Date of birth: 24 June 1952; Resides in: El Waha, Omdurman, Sudan. Passport/identifying information/status : Retired from the Sudanese Army. Ex-serviceman's identification card no: 4302. Designation/justification : Major-General and Commander of the Western Military Region for the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). The Panel of Experts reports that Major-General Gaffar Mohammed Elhassan stated to them that he had direct operational command (primarily tactical command) of all elements of the SAF in Darfur while he was in command of the Western Military Region. Elhassan held this position as Western Military Area Commander from November 2004 (approximately) until early 2006. The Panel's information is that Elhassan was responsible for violations of paragraph 7 of UNSCR 1591 (2005) as by virtue of this position he requested (from Khartoum), and authorized as from 29 March 2005, the transfer of military equipment into Darfur without the prior approval of the 1591 Committee. Elhassan himself admitted to the Panel of Experts that aircraft, aircraft engines and other military equipment had been brought into Darfur from other parts of Sudan between 29 March 2005 and December 2005. For example, he informed the Panel that 2 Mi-24 attack helicopters were brought unauthorized into Darfur between 18 and 21 September 2005. There are also reasonable grounds to believe that Elhassan was directly responsible, as Western Military Area Commander, for authorizing offensive military flights in the area around Abu Hamra, 23-24 July 2005 and in the Jebel Moon area of Western Darfur, on 19 November 2005. Mi-24 attack helicopters were involved in both operations and reportedly opened fire on both occasions. The Panel of Experts report that Elhassan indicated to the Panel that he himself approved requests for air support and other air operations in his capacity as Western Military Area Commander. (See Panel of Experts report, S/2006/65, paragraphs 266-269.) Through such actions Major-General Gaffar Mohammed Elhassan has breached relevant provisions of UNSCR 1591 (2005) and therefore meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions. Date of UN designation : 25 April 2006. 2. Last name : ALNSIEM First name(s) : Musa Hilal Abdalla Alias : Sheikh Musa Hilal; Abd Allah; Abdallah; AlNasim; Al Nasim; AlNaseem; Al Naseem; AlNasseem; Al Nasseem Date of birth/Place of birth/nationality/residence : Date of Birth: 01/01/1964 or 1959; Place of birth: Kutum; Resides in: Kabkabiya and the city of Kutum, Northern Darfur and has resided in Khartoum. Passport/identifying information/status : Diplomatic Passport No: D014433, Issued on 21 February 2013; Expires 21 February 2015. Certificate of Nationality No: A0680623. Member of the National Assembly of Sudan. In 2008, appointed by the President of Sudan as special adviser to the Ministry of Federal Affairs. Designation/justification : Paramount Chief of the Jalul Tribe in North Darfur. Report from Human Rights Watch states they have a memo dated 13 February 2004 from a local government office in North Darfur ordering security units in the locality to allow the activities of the mujahideen and the volunteers under the command of the Sheikh Musa Hilal to proceed in the areas of [North Darfur] and to secure their vital needs. On 28 September 2005, 400 Arab militia attacked the villages of Aro Sharrow (including its IDP camp), Acho, and Gozmena in West Darfur. We also believe that Musa Hilal was present during the attack on Aro Sharrow IDP camp: his son had been killed during the SLA attack on Shareia, so he was now involved in a personal blood feud. There are reasonable grounds to believe that as the Paramount Chief he had direct responsibility for these actions and is responsible for violations of international humanitarian and human rights law and other atrocities. Date of UN designation : 25 April 2006 3. Last name : SHARIF First name(s) : Adam Yacub Alias : Adam Yacub Shant; Adam Yacoub Date of birth/Place of birth/nationality/residence : Date of birth: Circa 1976. Passport/identifying information/status : Reportedly deceased on 7 June 2012. Designation/justification : Sudanese Liberation Army (SLA) Commander. SLA soldiers under the command of Adam Yacub Shant violated the ceasefire agreement by attacking a Government of Sudan military contingent that was escorting a convoy of trucks near Abu Hamra, Northern Darfur on July 23, 2005 killing three soldiers. After the attack, Government military weapons and ammunition were looted. The Panel of Experts has information establishing that the attack by SLA soldiers took place and was clearly organized; consequently it was well planned. It is therefore reasonable to assume, as the Panel concluded, that Shant, as the confirmed SLA Commander in the area, must have had knowledge of and approved or ordered the attack. He therefore bears direct responsibility for the attack and meets the criteria for being listed. Date of UN designation : 25 April 2006. 4. Last name : MAYU First name(s) : Jibril Abdulkarim Ibrahim Alias : General Gibril Abdul Kareem Barey; Tek; Gabril Abdul Kareem Badri Date of birth/Place of birth/nationality/residence : Date of birth: 1 January 1967; Place of Birth: Nile District, El-Fasher, El-Fasher, North Darfur; Nationality: Sudanese by birth; Resides in: Tine, on the Sudanese side of the border with Chad. Passport/identifying information/status : National Identification Number: 192-3238459-9 Certificate of nationality acquired through birth: No 302581 Designation/justification : National Movement for Reform and Development (NMRD) Field Commander. Mayu is responsible for the kidnapping of African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) personnel in Darfur during October 2005. Mayu openly attempts to thwart the AMIS mission through intimidation; for example he threatened to shoot down African Union (AU) helicopters in the Jebel Moon area in November 2005. Through such actions Mayu has clearly violated UNSCR 1591 (2005) in constituting a threat to stability in Darfur and meets the criteria to be designated by the Committee to be subjected to sanctions.

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 24,357 EUR/100 kg.
