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.

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.

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.

The following substances and preparations are "dangerous" within the meaning of this Directive: (a) explosive: substances and preparations which may explode under the effect of flame or which are more sensitive to shocks or friction than dinitrobenzene; (b) oxidising: substances and preparations which give rise to highly exothermic reaction when in contact with other substances, particularly flammable substances; (c) easily flammable: - substances and preparations which may become hot and finally catch fire in contact with air at ambient temperature without any application of energy, or - solid substances and preparations which may readily catch fire after brief contact with a source of ignition and which continue to burn or to be consumed after removal of the source of ignition, or - liquid substances and preparations having a flash point below 21 º C, or - gaseous substances and preparations which are flammable in air at normal pressure, or - substances and preparations which, in contact with water or damp air, evolve highly flammable gases in dangerous quantities; (d) flammable: liquid substances and preparations having a flash point between 21 º C and 55 º C; (e) toxic: substances and preparations which, if they are inhaled or taken internally or if they penetrate the skin, may involve serious, acute or chronic health risks and even death; (f) harmful: substances and preparations which, if they are inhaled or taken internally or if they penetrate the skin, may involve limited health risks; (g) corrosive: substances and preparations which may, on contact with living tissues, destroy them; (h) irritant: non-corrosive substances and preparations which, through immediate, prolonged or repeated contact with the skin or mucous membrane, can cause inflammation. Article 3The classification of dangerous substances according to the greatest degree of hazard and specific nature of the risks shall be based on the categories laid down in Article 2. Article 4Annex I to this Directive gives the list of dangerous substances classified in accordance with the provisions of Article 3. Article 5Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that dangerous substances cannot be placed on the market unless the strength and impermeability of their packaging satisfies the following requirements, any packaging meeting these requirements being regarded as adequate: 1. The packagings must be so arranged and fastened as to preclude any loss of the contents ; this requirement does not apply where special safety devices are prescribed; 2. The materials constituting the packaging and fastenings must not be liable to attack by the contents, or liable to form harmful or dangerous compounds with the contents ; 3. The packagings and fastenings must be strong and solid throughout to ensure that they will not loosen and will safely meet the normal stresses and strains of handling. Article 6 1. Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that dangerous substances cannot be placed on the market unless the labelling on their packaging satisfies the following requirements. 2. All packagings must be labelled with: - the name of the substance, - the origin of the substance, - the danger symbol and indication of danger involved in the use of the substance, - a reference to the special risks arising from such dangers; (a) the name of the substance must be one of the terms listed in Annex I to this Directive; (b) the indication of origin must include the name and address of the manufacturer, the distributor or the importer; (c) the following symbols and indications of danger are to be used: >PIC FILE= "T9000048"> The symbols must conform to those in Annex II to this Directive ; they shall be printed in black on an orange-yellow background.

Article 7 1. Where the particulars required by Article 6 appear on a label, that label must be placed on one or more surfaces of the packaging so that it can be read horizontally when the package is set down normally. The dimensions of the label must not be less than those of a standard A 8 sheet (52 X 74 mm), but there is no obligation that it exceed those of a standard A 5 sheet (148 x 210 mm). Each symbol must cover et least one-tenth of the surface area of the label. The entire surface of the label must stick to the immediate packaging of the substance. 2. A label shall not be required where the particulars are clearly printed on the normal packaging as specified in paragraph 1. 3. The particulars on the packaging or on the label must be printed in clearly legible and indelible characters so as to ensure that the symbols and indications of danger and the reference to special risks are sufficiently prominent. 4. Member States may make the placing on the market of dangerous substances in their territories subject to the use of the national language or languages in the labelling of these substances. 5. The obligations of paragraphs 1 to 4 concerning labelling shall be regarded as being satisfied where a container is dispatched bearing a label complying with the dispatch requirements and where this label displays the appropriate symbol laid down in Article 6 (2) (c). This derogation shall not apply to containers which are inside other containers. Article 8Member States may (a) permit the labelling required by Article 6 to be affixed in some other appropriate manner on packaging too small to allow labelling in accordance with Article 7 (1) or (2); (b) by way of derogation from Articles 6 and 7, permit the packaging of dangerous substances which are neither explosive nor toxic to be unlabelled, or to be labelled in some other way if they contain such small quantities that there is no danger to workers or others.

Article 2 No Member State may refuse to grant EEC type approval or national type approval of a vehicle on grounds relating to the permissible sound level or the exhaust system if its sound level and exhaust system satisfy the requirements set out in the Annex. Article 3 The amendments necessary for adjusting the requirements of the Annex so as to take account of technical progress, with the exception of the requirements set out under items 1.1 and 1.4.1.4, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of the Council Directive on the type approval of motor vehicles and their trailers. Article 4 1. Member States shall put into force the provisions containing the requirements needed in order to comply with this Directive within eighteen months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof. 2. Member States shall ensure that the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.

Limits The sound level of the vehicles referred to in Article 1 of this Directive, when measured under the conditions set out in this Annex, may not exceed the following levels: >PIC FILE= "T0002112"> I.2. Measuring instruments The noise emitted by vehicles shall be measured by means of a sound-level meter of the type described in Publications 179,1st edition (1965), of the International Electrotechnical Commission. I.3. Conditions of measurement Measurements shall be made on unladen vehicles in a sufficiently silent and open area (ambient noise and wind noise at least 10 dB (A) below the noise being measured). That area may take the form, for instance, of an open space of 50-metre radius having a central part of at least 20-metre radius which is practically level, surfaced with concrete, asphalt or similar material, and not covered with powdery snow, tall grass, loose soil or ashes. The surface of the test track shall be such as not to cause excessive tyre noise. This condition applies only to measurement of the noise made by vehicles in motion. Measurement shall be carried out in fine weather with little wind. No person other than the observer taking the readings from the apparatus may remain near the vehicle or the microphone, as the presence of spectators near either the vehicle or the microphone may considerably affect the readings from the apparatus. Marked fluctuations of the pointer which appear to be unrelated to the characteristics of the general sound level shall be ignored in taking readings. I.4. Method of measurement I.4.1. Measurement of noise of vehicles in motion (for type approval) At least two measurements shall be made on each side of the vehicle. Preliminary measurements may be made for adjustment purposes but shall be disregarded. The microphone shall be situated 1.2 metres above ground level at a distance of 7.5 metres from the path of the vehicle's centre line, CC, measured along the perpendicular PP" to that line (Figure 1). Two lines AA" and BB", parallel to line PP" and situated respectively 10 metres forward and 10 metres rearward of that line, shall be marked out on the test track. Vehicles shall approach line AA" at a steady speed, as specified below. The throttle shall then be fully-opened as rapidly as practicable and held in the fully-opened position until the rear of the vehicle (1) crosses line BB" ; the throttle shall then be closed again as rapidly as possible. The maximum sound level recorded shall constitute the result of the measurement. I.4.1.1. Vehicles with no gearbox The vehicle shall approach line AA" at a steady speed corresponding to the lowest of the three following speeds: - an engine speed equal to three-quarters of the engine speed at which the engine develops its maximum power; - an engine speed equal to three-quarters of the maximum engine speed permitted by the governor; - 50 kilometres per hour. I.4.1.2. Vehicles with a manually operated gearbox I.4.1.2.1.- The second gear in the gearbox must be engaged if the vehicle is fitted with a two-speed, three-speed or four-speed gearbox; I.4.1.2.2.- The third gear in the gearbox must be engaged if the box has more than four gears; I.4.1.2.2.- if the transmission has a double gear ratio (transfer gearbox or two-speed rear axle assembly), the gearbox must be engaged in the ratio allowing the highest vehicle speed. The vehicle shall approach line AA" at a steady speed corresponding to the lowest of the following three speeds: - an engine speed equal to three-quarters of the engine speed at which the engine develops its maximum power; - an engine speed equal to three-quarters of the maximum engine speed permitted by the governor; - 50 kilometres per hour. I.4.1.3. Vehicles with an automatic gearbox The vehicle shall approach line AA" at a steady speed equal to the lowest of the following two speeds: - 50 kilometres per hour; - three quarters of the maximum speed. Where there is a choice, the "normal" selector position for town driving is to be used. I.4.1.4. Interpretation of results I.4.1.4.1. To take account of inaccuracies in the measuring instruments, the result obtained from each measurement shall be determined by deducting 1 dB (A) from the meter reading. I.4.1.4.2. The measurements shall be considered valid if the difference between two consecutive measurements on the same side of the vehicle does not exceed 2 dB (A). (1)If the vehicle includes a trailer or semi-trailer, these shall not be taken into account in determining when line BB" is crossed. I.4.1.4.3. The highest sound level measured shall constitute the test result. Should that result exceed by 1 dB (A) the maximum permissible sound level for the category of vehicle tested, two further measurements shall be made. Three of the four measurements thus obtained must fall within the prescribed limits. >PIC FILE= "T0002113"> I.4.2. Measurement of noise of stationary vehicles I.4.2.1. Position of sound-level meter Measurements shall be made at point X (shown in Figure 2) at a distance of 7 metres from the nearest surface of the vehicle. The microphone shall be situated 1.2 metres above ground level. I.4.2.2. Number of measurements At least two measurements shall be made. I.4.2.3. Vehicle test conditions The engine of a vehicle without a speed governor shall be run at three-quarters of the rpm speed at which, according to the vehicle manufacturer, it develops its maximum power. The rpm speed of the engine shall be measured by means of an independent instrument, e.g. a roller bed and a tachometer. If the engine is fitted with a governor preventing the engine from exceeding the speed at which it develops its maximum power, it shall be run at the maximum speed permitted by the governor. Before taking any measurements, the engine shall be brought to its normal running temperature. I.4.2.4. Interpretation of results All sound-level readings recorded shall be given in the report. The method used to calculate the engine power shall also be shown, where possible. The state of loading of the vehicle must also be given. The measurements shall be considered valid if the difference between two consecutive measurements on the same side of the vehicle does not exceed 2 dB (A). The maximum figure recorded shall constitute the result of the measurement. >PIC FILE= "T0002114"> II. EXHAUST SYSTEM (SILENCER) II.1. If the vehicle is fitted with a device designed to reduce the exhaust noise (silencer), the requirements of item II shall apply. If the inlet of the engine is fitted with an air filter which is necessary in order to ensure compliance with the permissible sound level, the filter shall be considered to be part of the silencer, and the requirements of item II shall also apply to that filter. II.2. A drawing of the exhaust system shall be annexed to the vehicle type approval certificate. II.3. The silencer must be marked with a reference to its make and type which is clearly legible and indelible. II.4. The use of fibrous absorbent material is permitted in the construction of silencers only if the following conditions are fulfilled: II.4.1. The fibrous absorbent material may not be placed in those parts of the silencer through which the gases pass. II.4.2. Suitable devices must ensure that the fibrous absorbent material is kept in place for the whole time that the silencer is being used. II.4.3. The fibrous absorbent material must be resistent to a temperature at least 20 % higher than the operating temperature which may occur in the region of the silencer where these fibrous absorbent materials are situated.

Whereas, pursuant to Article 152 of the Act of Accession, a compensation mechanism is to be introduced on imports into the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985, hereinafter referred to as the 'Commu nity of Ten', from 1 January 1990, of fruit and vegetables from Spain for which a reference price is fixed with regard to third countries ; whereas, Community offer prices for broad-leaved (Batavian) endives coming from Spain should be fixed only during the period where the reference prices are fixed with regard to third countries, this means from 15 November up to and including 31 March of the following year ; Whereas, the Community offer prices for broad-leaved (Batavian) endives applicable with regard to Spain for the period 15 November to 31 December 1990 were fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3128/90 (3) ; Whereas, in accordance with Article 152 (2) (a) of the Act of Accession, a Community offer price is to be calculated annually on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the producer prices in each Member State of the Community of Ten, plus transport and packaging costs incurred by the products from the production regions to the representa tive consumption centres of the Community and bearing in mind developments in the cost of production in the fruit and vegetable sector ;

Community demand for the products in question should be met under the most favourable conditions. New Community tariff quotas should therefore be opened at reduced or zero rates of duty for appropriate volumes, and extended in the case of certain existing tariff quotas, while avoiding any disturbance to the markets for these products.(2) It is no longer in the Community's interest to maintain a Community tariff quota on some of the products and those products should therefore be removed from the table in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96.(3) In view of the large number of amendments coming into effect on 1 January 2003 and in order to clarify matters for the user, the table in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should be replaced by the table in Annex I to this Regulation.(4) The quota amount for certain autonomous Community tariff quotas is insufficient to meet the needs of the Community industry for the current quota period. Consequently, these quota amounts should be increased with effect from 1 January 2002 or 1 July 2002 depending on the starting date of these quotas and therefore the immediate entry into force of this Regulation should be envisaged.(5) Tariff quotas for certain iron and steel products which have been covered by the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community are subject, from the expiry date of that Treaty, to the Treaty establishing the European Community. A separate Annex, comprising these quotas, has consequently to be added to Regulation (EC) No 2505/96.(6) Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 should therefore be amended,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:Article 1Regulation (EC) No 2505/96 is hereby amended as follows:1.

THE FACTS (1) Acting upon information received about the sale of green coffee in the EEC, the Commission obtained particulars of the contracts under which the FederaciÃ ³n Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia (hereinafter called 'FNC') had agreed to supply coffee to its EEC customers in 1978. (2) As a result, an inspection was carried out at the FNC's Brussels office on 25 April 1979 and the Commission received copies of the contracts which FNC had made with its customers for 1979. (3) On 29 April 1980, FNC notified the contracts to the Commission and applied for negative clearance or exemption under Article 85 (3) of the EEC Treaty. A. The market for green coffee (4) The green coffee consumed in the EEC is imported from Africa and Latin America. There are three main types of green coffee, 'arabicas', 'robustas' and 'mild arabicas'. Colombia, the second biggest coffee producer in the world after Brazil, is the biggest producer of milds. (5) FNC estimates the market share of Colombian coffee in the EEC to be 19;68 %. In 1978 it accounted for 33;58 % of the coffee imported by Germany, 14;69 % of coffee imports to Denmark, and 4;37 % of French, 2;34 % of Italian, 28;34 % of Dutch, 1;31 % of United Kingdom and 16;10 % of Belgian and Luxembourg coffee imports. (6) In 1962, in view of the imbalance that had emerged between the interests of the coffee-producing and consuming countries, an International Coffee Agreement was signed under UN auspices by the producer and consumer countries. The Agreement was revised in 1968 and again in 1976. (7) The objectives of the Agreement are inter alia to bring about long-term equilibrium between production and consumption and to ensure fair prices in the face of the frequently excessive fluctuations in the levels of world supply and demand. (8) All the Member States of the European Community are parties to the International Coffee Agreement and the Community itself is a signatory. B. The FederaciÃ ³n Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia (9) In 1940 the Colombian Government set up a National Coffee Fund as an instrument for facilitating the sale of Colombian coffee both on the domestic market and overseas. Article 10 of the decree establishing the Fund provides for a corporate body to administer the Fund. The FNC, which had been in existence since 1927, was appointed to do so from the Fund's inception. FNC is a semi-statutory but private legal entity bringing together all Colombian coffee producers. Its functions were defined by Decree No 2630 of 9 November 1960. Its main task is to organize the sale of Colombian green coffee in overseas markets. (10) Article 20 of FNC's constitution stipulates that its purpose is to defend and promote the Colombian coffee industry. One of its chief functions, stated in subparagraph 11 of that Article, is to purchase Colombian producers' green coffee and sell it on the home and overseas markets. (11) The head office of FNC - whose staff are appointed by and responsible to the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs - is at Bogota, Colombia, but it also has offices abroad, for example in the EEC in Italy, Denmark and in Belgium. (12) FNC controls the sale of all green coffee grown in Colombia. As part of this work, it makes the annual standard contracts with coffee roasters in the EEC which are the subject of these proceedings. (13) The contracts are the same whether the coffee is supplied by FNC itself or by a private exporter who has himself purchased it in Colombia. In both cases, the contract contains the same clauses governing resale. The contracts, however, leave the buyer free to choose his source of supply and, if he chooses to deal with a private exporter, to negotiate a mutually agreeable price. (14) In France and Belgium, where there is a very large number of small roasting plants, FNC makes similar contracts with two distributors, SACA in Paris and Installe in Antwerp. These are allowed to supply Colombian green coffee only to roasting plants which appear on a list drawn up by FNC. However, some large coffee roasters in France and Belgium deal direct with FNC. C. The contracts (15) The main terms of the annual contracts which FNC makes with EEC coffee roasting plants and the named distributors can be summarized as follows. (16) (a) The standard contracts provide for two price mechanisms, depending on the supplier. (17) Buyers supplied direct by FNC will not pay more than 4 US cents per pound above the average price for non-Colombian milds prevailing at the date of the contract, as established by the International Coffee Agreement (ICO) Indicator Prices, the daily reference prices set by the International Coffee Organization. (18) Buyers obtaining supplies from a private exporter will, should the average price of non-Colombian milds be below the contract price, have their price adjusted so that the price difference does not exceed 4 US cents per pound. (19) (b) The contract also includes a price change guarantee and a scale of quantity discounts, both applicable regardless of supplier. (20) FNC guarantees to adjust the contract price for any fall in the price of Colombian green coffee that occurs within 45 days from the date of the bill of lading. (21) FNC's sales contracts include for each registered sale the scale of quantity discounts given on sales within certain ranges (e.g. 1 to 15 000 bags, 75 001 to 100 000 bags, 600 001 to 700 000 bags). The relevant rate of discount, which rises to 5 US dollars per bag, applies to the entire quantity ordered in the contract. Thus, it will always be in buyers' interest to purchase the maximum number of bags so as to obtain a higher rate of discount on their total purchases. (22) These terms are extended uniformly to all coffee roasting plants and distributors concluding contracts with FNC, wherever in the common market they may be established. (23) (c) The contracts made with coffee roasting plants contain a clause (clause 15) obliging the buyer to use the green coffee in his own roasting plant(s). This prevents buyers selling green coffee to other roasting plants. In 1978 and 1979 contracts this rule carried the express sanction of immediate termination of the contract (clause 15 in 1978, clause 14 in 1979). (24) The contracts with the distributors also contain a clause (clause 15) stating that they may sell the coffee supplied only to a predetermined list of roasting plants in France and Belgium respectively and that these undertakings may not resell the coffee in green form. (25) Moreover, FNC reserves the right to monitor compliance with this clause and warns that any breach will lead to immediate termination of the contract. (26) After the notification of the above contracts of sale, the Commission wrote to FNC pointing out that the clauses referred to could be in breach of Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty and asking it to amend them. In reply to the Commission's letter, FNC offered to include the following clauses in its 1981 contracts: (27) Contracts concluded directly with roasting plants: 'All coffee covered by this Agreement is intended for use in the roasting plant(s) of the buyer. In order to sell any quantity of this coffee in green form, the buyer must obtain previous authorization from FNC. In presenting his request, the buyer should indicate: name of possible purchaser, number of lot and other identification marks, quantity, and reasons for making the sale. This authorization will not be unreasonably withheld.' (28) Contracts with distributors: 'All coffee covered by this Agreement is to be sold by the buyer in green form to a group of clients previously authorized by FNC and listed in a separate letter. If one of the authorized clients wants to resell any quantity of this coffee in green form, the buyer must obtain previous authorization from FNC. In presenting his request, the buyer must indicate names of both authorized client who wants to resell and prospective purchaser, together with number of lot and other identification marks, quantity, and reasons for making the resale. The authorization from FNC will not be unreasonably withheld.' (29) Although the Commission pointed out to FNC that the proposed clauses still did not appear to be compatible with Article 85 (1), the final contracts for 1981 which FNC's representatives sent to the Commission pursuant to the earlier notification nevertheless contained the offending clauses. The clauses also appear in the 1982 contracts. (30) In reply to the Commission's statement of objections, FNC informed it on 22 September 1982 that in view of the objections it had decided to delete the clauses prohibiting resale of Colombian green coffee as from 1 January 1983. II. LEGAL ASSESSMENT A. Applicability of Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty (31) Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty prohibits as incompatible with the common market all agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings and concerted practices which may affect trade between Member States and which have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition within the common market. (32) FNC is an undertaking within the meaning of Article 85 (1) since it sells the green coffee owned by it and makes commercial contracts with buyers of Colombian green coffee. (33) Certain of the clauses in the contracts which FNC has made with coffee roasting plants and distributors have as their object and effect a restriction of competition within the common market, for the following reasons. (a) Restriction of competition 1. Restriction on resale (34) Clause 15 (14 in 1979) of the contracts with roasting plants and distributors requires that all the green coffee covered by the contract be used in the former case by the buyer and in the latter case by authorized roasting plants. (35) This is tantamount to prohibiting any roasting plant owner from buying green coffee for resale in the green state - as this is expressed in the 1978, 1979 and 1980 contracts - whilst distributors may sell green coffee only to roasting plants belonging to their own group. (36) The 1978 and 1979 contracts further state that failure to observe this rule will result in immediate termination. In the 1981 and 1982 contracts, resale may be allowed only upon previous authorization by FNC, which amounts to the same thing for the purposes of the restriction because it gives FNC a unilateral veto. (37) The statement in the new clause 15 that 'this authorization will not be unreasonably withheld' does not mean that FNC will relinquish its veto. In other words, the contracts prohibit or restrict the sale of green coffee by one roasting plant owner to another or by a distributor to a roasting plant which is not authorized. (38) The result is to eliminate, or at least appreciably restrict, any competition in the market for Colombian green coffee sold by FNC. (39) This restriction on the commercial freedom of coffee roasters and distributors restricts competition within the European Community in a manner contrary to Article 85 (1) of the Treaty. 2. Effect in conjunction with quantity discounts (40) FNC knew that if the contracts had allowed it, the system of quantity discounts would have encouraged roasting plant owners to make group purchases (buying for fellow plant owners as well as to cover their own requirements) in order to obtain lower prices. (41) Group purchasing would have allowed them to obtain green coffee for their own use and sell it on the market at cheaper prices, which might have affected the price of roasted coffee. (42) The restriction of competition analyzed in point (1) above is thus aggravated by effects on consumer selling prices. (b) Effect on trade between Member States (43) Clause 15 of the contracts involves an export ban, and hence affects trade between the Member States. (44) By including clause 15 in its contracts, FNC makes any interpenetration of the Colombian green coffee market very difficult or even impossible. It is able to partition the market into as many isolated units as there are buyers of Colombian coffee, especially as it controls the supply of all Colombian green coffee sold to EEC roasting plants. (45) The effect of this export ban on inter-Member State trade in green coffee is appreciable since Colombian green coffee accounts for 19;68 % of all green coffee sold to the EEC and up to a third of coffee imports to certain countries, such as the Federal Republic of Germany. (46) This situation therefore affects trade between Member States, contrary to Article 85 (1) of the EEC Treaty. B. Inapplicability of Article 85 (3) of the EEC Treaty (47) Article 85 (3) of the EEC Treaty states that the provisions of Article 85 (1) may be declared inapplicable in the case of any agreement or category of agreements between undertakings which contribute to improving the production or distribution of goods or to promoting technical or economic progress, while allowing consumers a fair share of the resulting benefit, and which does not impose on the undertakings concerned restrictions which are not indispensable to the attainment of these objectives or afford such undertakings the possibility of eliminating competition in respect of a substantial part of the products in question. (48) The ban on resale which is included in the contracts between FNC and coffee roasters and distributors does not contribute to improving the distribution of Colombian green coffee in the EEC, since on the contrary it reduces the outlets available to buyers of the commodity in the EEC. (49) No such resale ban could pursue any of the other objectives referred to in Article 85 (3). HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 Clause 15 (14 in 1979) of the annual contract concluded between the FederaciÃ ³n Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia and coffee roasters in the EEC, and between the said FederaciÃ ³n and Installe and SACA, for the years 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981 and 1982 constitutes an infringement of Article 85 (1) of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community. Article 2 The application for exemption under Article 85 (3) of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community is refused. Article 3 The FederaciÃ ³n Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia must refrain from including such a clause in any contract which it concludes henceforth with coffee roasters in the EEC or with Installe or SACA.

For the sake of consistency, that approach implies the need to adapt the reference to the specific rules waiving the need for export licences in the first indent of the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products(4).(2) Payment of refunds is subject as a general rule to production of an export licence with advance fixing of the refund on the day of lodging of the licence application. This implies that the situation referred to in Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, in which two dates are to be considered for the purpose of determining the rate of refund, will no longer arise. Those provisions should accordingly be deleted.(3) It should be made clear that the checks referred to in Article 5(7) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 do not apply to deliveries for victualling and other destinations treated as exports from the Community.(4) Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 provides that a licence is not required and may not be produced for victualling and other destinations treated as exports. Given that the new provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 no longer provide for the fixing of the refund in advance for such operations, Article 37(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 should be adapted accordingly.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of all the Management Committees concerned,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:Article 1Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 is amended as follows:1.

doc-64	In recognition of the growing concerns over agricultural sustainability, the European Commission has initiated a series of workshops aimed at increasing organic farming practices among EU member states. These workshops focus on the cultivation of staple crops, including the production of eco-friendly plantains and other similar fruits. The goal is to optimize green farming techniques, reduce the carbon footprint associated with traditional agriculture, and enhance biodiversity. This initiative does not change current import regulations for bananas or other fruits, but rather emphasizes local farming education and the sharing of best practices within the agricultural community across European borders.

With a view to assessing the extent of the overrun in Greece, Spain, France, Italy and Portugal, account should be taken of the estimates for the production of table olives, expressed as olive-oil equivalent using the relevant coefficients referred to, in the case of Greece, in Commission Decision 2001/649/EC (3), in the case of Spain, in Commission Decision 2001/650/EC (4), in the case of France, in Commission Decision 2001/648/EC (5), in the case of Italy, in Commission Decision 2001/658/EC (6) and in the case of Portugal, in Commission Decision 2001/670/EC (7). (2) Article 17a(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 provides that, in order to determine the unit amount of the production aid for olive oil that can be paid in advance, the estimated production for the marketing year concerned should be determined. That amount must be set at a level that rules out any risk of undue payment to olive growers. The amount also applies to table olives, expressed as olive-oil equivalent. For the 2002/03 marketing year, the estimated production and the unit amount of the production aid that can be paid in advance were laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1794/2003 (8). (3) In order to determine the actual production for which entitlement to aid is recognised, the individual Member States concerned must inform the Commission by no later than 15 May following each marketing year of the quantity on which the aid is payable in that Member State, in accordance with Article 14(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 (9). According to that information, the quantity on which the aid is payable for the 2002/03 marketing year is 473 820 tonnes for Greece, 960 716 tonnes for Spain, 3 344 tonnes for France, 686 342 tonnes for Italy and 28 771 tonnes for Portugal. (4) Confirmation by the Member States that aid is payable on those quantities implies that the controls referred to in Regulations (EEC) No 2261/84 and (EC) No 2366/98 have been carried out. However, setting actual production on the basis of information from the Member States on the quantities on which aid is payable does not prejudge the conclusions that may be drawn from verification of the accuracy of that information under the accounts clearance procedure. (5) Taking account of the actual production figures, the unit amount of the production aid provided for in Article 5(1) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC payable on the eligible quantities of actual production should also be set. (6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 1. For the 2002/03 marketing year, the actual production to be used to calculate the aid for olive oil as referred to in Article 5 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC shall be: 473 820 tonnes for Greece, 960 716 tonnes for Spain, 3 344 tonnes for France, 686 342 tonnes for Italy, 28 771 tonnes for Portugal. 2. For the 2002/03 marketing year, the unit amount of the production aid referred to in Article 5 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC payable on the eligible quantities of actual production shall be: 118,35 EUR/100 kg for Greece, 103,43 EUR/100 kg for Spain, 130,40 EUR/100 kg for France, 102,85 EUR/100 kg for Italy, 130,40 EUR/100 kg for Portugal.

The European agriculture scenario has changed significantly and requires adaptive measures to help foster sustainable farming practices and to protect farmers from market volatility. WHEREAS, with a view to streamlining the policy framework for agricultural support, it is deemed necessary to bring various direct payment schemes under a single regulation; and WHEREAS it is imperative to reinforce the rural development policy, thereby supporting the broader economic and environmental goals of the European Union, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular, Articles 36 and 37 thereof, which allow for the application of the common agricultural policy and the establishment of the necessary regulations to effectuate its functioning. Considering Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and amending and repealing certain regulations, as a key driver for the evolution of rural spaces; Further considering the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1259/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing the criteria for applying the direct support schemes within the framework of the common agricultural policy; WHEREAS harmonization of the various sector-specific regulations is essential for an efficient agricultural support system, This legislation proposes that direct payments should come with cross-compliance obligations that require adherence to good agricultural and environmental conditions. The commission introduces a single payment scheme that is independent of production, to avoid distortions of competition and trade. It further establishes the national ceilings for each Member State for the annual budget for direct payments. Article 1 lays down rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). This includes the single payment scheme, specific support, additional payments for dairy, and support for energy crops. Article 2 prescribes procedural elements for claiming payments under the single payment scheme, including the entitlement rights for farmers and the national reserve. Article 3 specifies the conditions for cross-compliance as stipulated by the Member States in order to maintain the ecological and agricultural integrity of their rural areas. This Regulation enters into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 29 September 2003.

(2) Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 lays down a Union list of food additives approved for use in food additives, food enzymes, food flavourings, nutrients and their conditions of use. (3) Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 (2) lays down specifications for food additives that are listed in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008. (4) Octyl gallate (E 311) and dodecyl gallate (E 312) are substances authorised as antioxidants in a variety of foods, as well as in food flavourings, in accordance with Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008. (5) Article 32(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 provides that all food additives that were already permitted in the Union before 20 January 2009 are subject to a new risk assessment by the European Food Safety Authority (the Authority). (6) For that purpose, a program for the re-evaluation of food additives is laid down in Commission Regulation (EU) No 257/2010 (3). Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 257/2010 the re-evaluation of antioxidants had to be completed by 31 December 2015. (7) On 5 May 2015 the Authority delivered a Scientific Opinion on the re-evaluation of dodecyl gallate (E 312) as a food additive (4). The opinion stated that there was a lack of adequate toxicological data on dodecyl gallate. Consequently the Authority was not able to confirm the safety of dodecyl gallate as a food additive and concluded that the present group Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for propyl gallate (E 310), octyl gallate (E 311) and dodecyl gallate (E 312) should no longer be valid. The opinion stated that a sufficient toxicological database would be required for an adequate assessment of the safety of dodecyl gallate as a food additive. (8) On 1 October 2015 the Authority delivered a Scientific Opinion on the re-evaluation of octyl gallate (E 311) as a food additive (5). The opinion stated that there was a lack of adequate toxicological data on octyl gallate. Consequently the Authority was not able to confirm the safety of octyl gallate as a food additive and concluded that the present group ADI for propyl gallate (E 310), octyl gallate (E 311) and dodecyl gallate (E 312) should no longer be valid. The opinion stated that a sufficient toxicological database would be required for an adequate assessment of the safety of octyl gallate as a food additive. (9) On 30 May 2017 the Commission launched a public call for scientific and technological data on propyl gallate (E 310), octyl gallate (E 311) and dodecyl gallate (E 312) (6), targeting the data needs identified in the Scientific Opinions on the re-evaluation of those substances as food additives. However, no business operator committed to providing the requested toxicological data for octyl gallate (E 311) and dodecyl gallate (E 312). Without those data the Authority cannot complete the re-evaluation of the safety of octyl gallate and dodecyl gallate as food additives and consequently it cannot be determined whether those substances still fulfil the conditions pursuant to Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 for inclusion in the Union list of approved food additives. (10) It is therefore appropriate to remove octyl gallate (E 311) and dodecyl gallate (E 312) from the Union list of approved food additives. (11) Pursuant to Article 10(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, the Union list of approved food additives shall be amended in accordance with the procedure referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7). (12) Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 provides that the Union list of food additives may be updated either on the initiative of the Commission or following an application. (13) Therefore, Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 and the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 should be amended by deleting octyl gallate (E 311) and dodecyl gallate (E 312) from the Union list of authorised food additives since due to the absence of appropriate toxicological data their inclusion in the list can no longer be justified. (14) It is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which foods containing octyl gallate (E 311) and/or dodecyl gallate (E 312) that have been lawfully placed on the market before the entry in force of this Regulation may continue to be marketed. (15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation. Article 2 In the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012, the entries for food additives octyl gallate (E 311) and dodecyl gallate (E 312) are deleted. Article 3 Foods containing octyl gallate (E 311) and/or dodecyl gallate (E 312) that have been lawfully placed on the market before the entry into force of this Regulation may continue to be marketed until 25 April 2019.

Those third countries have to meet all the requirements of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 (STCW Convention) (2), as revised in 1995. (2) By letter of 13 May 2005, Cyprus submitted a request for recognition of Morocco. Following that request of Cyprus, the Commission assessed the training and certification systems in Morocco in order to verify whether Morocco meets all the requirements of the STCW Convention and whether the appropriate measures have been taken to prevent fraud involving certificates. That assessment was based on the results of an inspection carried out by experts of the European Maritime Safety Agency in December 2006. During that inspection certain deficiencies in the training and certification systems were identified. (3) The Commission provided the Member States with a report on the results of the assessment. (4) By letters of 4 February 2009 and 9 March 2010, the Commission requested Morocco to provide evidence demonstrating that the deficiencies identified had been corrected. (5) By letters of 13 May 2009, 29 May 2009, 2 April 2010 and 4 January 2011, Morocco provided the requested information and evidence concerning the implementation of appropriate and sufficient corrective action to address most of the deficiencies identified during the assessment of compliance. (6) The remaining shortcomings concern on the one hand missing legal provisions regarding training equipment as well as qualifications and training of instructors and assessors, and on the other hand lack of training equipment at the main maritime education and training institution of Morocco. Morocco has therefore been invited to implement further corrective action in this respect. However, these shortcomings do not warrant calling into question the overall level of compliance of Morocco with STCW requirements on training and certification of seafarers. (7) The outcome of the assessment of compliance and the evaluation of the information provided by Morocco demonstrate that Morocco meets all the requirements of the STCW Convention, and has taken appropriate measures to prevent fraud involving certificates. It should therefore be recognised by the Commission. (8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Safe Seas and the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 For the purposes of Article 19 of Directive 2008/106/EC, Morocco is recognised as regards the systems for the training and certification of seafarers.

doc-92	The economic landscape of the European Union has undergone significant changes since the inception of its common market. The integration of member states' economies necessitated the creation of a benchmark for economic stability and financial transactions. This paved the way for the introduction of an economic index tracking the performance of the European market, commonly referred to as the EU Market Stability Index (EUMSI). The EUMSI serves as an analytical tool for economists and policymakers alike, providing insights into the economic health of the Union. It aggregates various economic indicators such as inflation rates, employment statistics, and manufacturing outputs to produce a comprehensive overview of the market's performance. Using a complex formula, the index adjusts the weight of each indicator based on its current economic relevance and the overall impact on the Union's economy. Policy decisions at the European level often refer to the EUMSI as guidance for gauging the effectiveness of fiscal measures. When considering legislative proposals, the EU Council deliberates on the potential influence such policies might have on the index, aiming to ensure a positive trajectory for the Union's economic future. Discussions within the Council hinge on debates around how proposed regulations could stabilize, boost, or deter growth as measured by the index. Furthermore, the EUMSI influences the European Central Bank's monetary policies. Adjustments to interest rates and financial interventions are sometimes correlated with fluctuations in the index. This symbiotic relationship between the EUMSI and the monetary authority helps maintain economic stability within the European Union. Additionally, the index is utilized as a reference by international trade partners when evaluating the economic standing of the EU. External economies consider the EUMSI as a determinant for trade negotiations and agreements, which require an understanding of the Union's financial environment. In conclusion, while the EUMSI does not directly translate into a tangible currency or asset, it plays a critical role in shaping the economic policy and the financial landscape of the European Union. It encapsulates the collective economic status of member states, offering a broad perspective of the market's strengths and vulnerabilities, further influencing decisions at both the regional and global level.

Type: Implementing Regulation Subject Matter: agricultural activity; health; environmental policy; agricultural policy Date Published: nan 4.12.2018 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 308/21 COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/1882 of 3 December 2018 on the application of certain disease prevention and control rules to categories of listed diseases and establishing a list of species and groups of species posing a considerable risk for the spread of those listed diseases (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (Animal Health Law) (1), and in particular Articles 8(2) and 9(2) thereof, Whereas: (1) Regulation (EU) 2016/429 lays down rules for the prevention and control of diseases which are transmissible to animals or humans, including rules for the prioritisation and categorisation of listed diseases that are of concern at Union level. Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 provides that disease-specific rules for the prevention and control of diseases apply to the listed diseases, as referred to in that Article and in Annex II to that Regulation. Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 was amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/1629 (2), and those amendments apply from 21 April 2021. (2) Rules for the prevention and control of listed diseases should only apply to species and groups of species which can transmit such listed diseases, by virtue of either being susceptible to them or by acting as vectors. (3) Listed diseases require different types of management measures, as set out in the disease prevention and control rules provided for in Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2016/429, and having regard to the potential seriousness of their impact on public or animal health, the economy, society or on the environment. Those measures range from basic responsibilities and obligations, such as reporting and the notification of the occurrence or suspicion of a listed disease and eradication programmes, to in depth Union wide disease-specific surveillance and eradication measures, as well as measures related to the movement of animals and products of animal origin in the Union and their entry into the Union. (4) Certain criteria are laid down in Articles 8(2) and (3) and 9(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 and in Annex IV thereto, for the purpose of listing specific species or groups of species subject to the disease prevention and control rules laid down in that Regulation, as well as the methods of applying the disease prevention and control rules to the listed diseases. (5) The Commission, with the assistance of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and with the benefit of scientific knowledge provided by the EU Animal Health Reference Laboratories, carried out a systematic assessment of listed diseases which require Union intervention. It also took into account available information from the World Organisation for Animal Health. (6) The systematic assessment by the Commission also took into account various factors, such as the species susceptible to certain listed diseases, disease reservoirs and disease vectors, and whether or not the listed disease is currently present in the Union, and how the listed disease is transmitted between animals, and from animals to humans, and its potential impact on animal and human health, including its morbidity and mortality rates. The systematic assessment also considered the wider impact of these listed diseases, such as their impact on the economy, society, animal welfare, the environment and biodiversity. (7) For the purposes of the systematic assessment, EFSA delivered scientific opinions on infection with Brucella abortus, B. melitensis and B. suis (3), infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (M. bovis, M. caprae and M. tuberculosis) (4), infection with bluetongue virus (serotypes 1-24) (5), anthrax (6), surra (Trypanosoma evansi) (7), Ebola virus disease (8), paratuberculosis (9), Japanese encephalitis (10), West Nile fever (11), infection with Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides SC (Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia) (12), infectious bovine rhinotracheitis/infectious pustular vulvovaginitis (13), bovine viral diarrhoea (14), bovine genital campylobacteriosis (15), trichomonosis (16), enzootic bovine leukosis (17), contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (18), ovine epididymitis (Brucella ovis) (19), Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (20), equine encephalomyelitis (Eastern and Western) (21), infection with Aujeszky's disease virus (22), infection with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (23), avian mycoplasmosis (Mycoplasma gallisepticum and M. meleagridis) (24), infection with Salmonella Pullorum, S. Gallinarum and S. arizonae (25), infection with low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (26), infestation with Varroa spp. (Varroosis) (27), infection with Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (28) and Koi herpes virus disease (29) in accordance with Article 8(3) of the Regulation (EU) 2016/429 and Annex IV thereto, and it followed the method set out in its Scientific Opinion, adopted on 5 April 2017, on an ad hoc method for the assessment on listing and categorisation of animal diseases within the framework of the Animal Health Law (30). (8) As Regulation (EU) 2016/429 applies from 21 April 2021, the measures provided for in this Regulation should also apply from that date. (9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions apply: (1) category A disease: means a listed disease that does not normally occur in the Union and for which immediate eradication measures must be taken as soon as it is detected, as referred to in Article 9(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429; (2) category B disease: means a listed disease which must be controlled in all Member States with the goal of eradicating it throughout the Union, as referred to in Article 9(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429; (3) category C disease: means a listed disease which is of relevance to some Member States and for which measures are needed to prevent it from spreading to parts of the Union that are officially disease-free or that have eradication programmes for the listed disease concerned, as referred to in Article 9(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429; (4) category D disease: means a listed disease for which measures are needed to prevent it from spreading on account of its entry into the Union or movements between Member States, as referred to in Article 9(1)(d) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429; (5) category E disease: means a listed disease for which there is a need for surveillance within the Union, as referred to in Article 9(1)(e) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429.

doc-99	The Importance of Environmental Standards in EU Agricultural Regulations Understanding the European Union’s commitment to environmental sustainability is crucial when examining the agricultural policies that affect its member states. The commitment is reflected through a series of directives and regulations aimed at promoting sustainable farming practices, with particular emphasis on reducing the environmental footprint and enhancing the biodiversity of agricultural lands. One such directive, the EU Directive 2009/128/EC, has been a pivotal element in setting strategic frameworks for member states to achieve a sustainable use of pesticides by reducing the risks and impacts on human health and the environment. This directive underscores the role that integrated pest management (IPM) and alternative approaches, such as non-chemical and organic methods, play in achieving its goals. By implementing these standards, the EU envisions a progressive route to a more eco-friendly agricultural sector which will not only preserve the natural ecology but also contribute to the long-term viability of farming communities. Environmental standards like these inevitably influence the operational costs of agricultural production by necessitating investment into cleaner technologies and practices. The adaptation to these standards has been seen as an essential step for EU producers in maintaining competitiveness through innovation and sustainability, which is increasingly becoming an important factor for consumers globally, influencing the EU's trade relationships and market access. Furthermore, the commitment to maintaining high environmental standards has also been critical in the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The CAP provides a framework for implementing a range of instruments focused on markets, direct payments, and rural development. These measures help ensure EU producers can compete fairly in the global market while upholding the EU's reputation for high-quality, environmentally safe products. Such environmental directives and regulations exert a substantial influence on the EU’s internal market and its external trade agreements. The EU's progressive stance on environmental and sustainability standards has cemented its position as a global leader in advocating for environmentally responsible production, which in turn, shapes its engagement on the global stage, influencing EU producers' access to international markets and their competitive stance in a landscape increasingly geared towards sustainability.
