Section 2 of Chapter II of that Regulation deals with the determination and elimination of surplus quantities of sugar present in Croatia at the date of its accession. In particular it sets deadlines for the determination of the surplus sugar quantities, for their elimination and for the proofs of elimination to be provided by identified operators in Croatia. It also fixes reference periods to be used in the calculation of charges for Croatia if surplus sugar quantities are not eliminated.(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 50/2014 (3) extended the deadlines set out in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 as far as they concern the determination of surplus quantities of sugar due to the time required for thorough analysis of the information communicated by Croatia and discussion with that Member State and in order to ensure correct application of Chapter II, Section 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013. In light of further information provided by Croatia it appears that the extension of the deadlines made by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 50/2014 is not sufficient and that, therefore, it is necessary to further extend those deadlines.(3) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,. Implementing Regulation (EU) No 170/2013 is amended as follows:(1) in Article 7(1), ‘30 September 2014’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2014’;(2) in Article 9(1), ‘30 June 2015’ is replaced by ‘30 September 2015’;(3) Article 10 is amended as follows:(a) ‘30 June 2015’ is replaced by ‘30 September 2015’;(b) ‘29 February 2016’ is replaced by ‘31 May 2016’;(4) Article 11 is amended as follows:(a) in paragraph 1, ‘30 September 2015’ is replaced by ‘31 December 2015’;(b) in the fourth subparagraph of paragraph 2, ‘30 June 2015’ is replaced by ‘30 September 2015’;(5) Article 12 is amended as follows:(a) in paragraph 1, ‘31 October 2015’ is replaced by ‘31 January 2016’;(b) paragraph 2 is amended as follows:(i) in the first subparagraph, ‘30 June 2015’ is replaced by ‘30 September 2015’;(ii) in the second subparagraph, ‘29 February 2016’ is replaced by ‘31 May 2016’;(iii) in the third subparagraph, ‘31 December 2015’ is replaced by ‘31 March 2016’.

36863,"Commission Directive 2009/164/EU of 22 December 2009 amending, for the purpose of adaptation to technical progress, Annexes II and III to Council Directive 76/768/EEC concerning cosmetic products (Text with EEA relevance). ,Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,After consulting the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety,Whereas:(1) The substance Verbena oil (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) is currently banned for use in cosmetic products, being listed in Annex II to Directive 76/768/EEC, under reference number 450. The ban of this substance was introduced on the basis of an opinion of May 2000 of the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products intended for Consumers (SCCNFP), subsequently replaced by the ‘Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP)’ by Commission Decision 2004/210/EC (2), and later by the ‘Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS)’ by Commission Decision 2008/721/EC (3). The SCCNFP recommended the prohibition of Verbena (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) essential oils and derivatives, e.g. concrete and absolute, when used as a fragrance ingredient, based on the sensitising potential.(2) However, the SCCNFP later concluded in an opinion issued in 2001 that Verbena absolute obtained from Lippia citriodora Kunth. should not be used such that the level in the finished cosmetic products exceeds 0,2 %. It is therefore appropriate to include Verbena absolute (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) together with its respective restriction in Annex III, Part 1 to Directive 76/768/EEC. It is also appropriate to amend reference number 450 of Annex II in order to specify that the substances Verbena essential oils (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) and derivatives other than absolute are prohibited when used as a fragrance ingredient.(3) Directive 2008/42/EC of 3 April 2008 amending Council Directive 76/768/EEC, concerning cosmetic products, for the purpose of adapting Annexes II and III thereto to technical progress (4) included several allyl esters containing allyl alcohol as impurity in Annex III, Part 1 to Directive 76/768/EEC. The substance allyl phenethyl ether may contain allyl alcohol as impurity as well. For this substance, the SCCNFP issued an opinion in 2000 recommending an upper limit of 0,1 % of allyl alcohol as impurity.(4) In the light of the SCCNFP opinion, as well as for consistency reasons, it is appropriate to include in Annex III, Part 1 to Directive 76/768/EEC the substance allyl phenethyl ether together with its respective restriction.(5) The group of substances Terpene terpenoids sinpine is currently regulated under reference number 130 in Annex III, Part 1 to Directive 76/768/EEC. However, the word ‘sinpine’ is a trade name and should therefore be deleted from the designation of that group of substances.(6) Directive 76/768/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.(7) In view of a smooth transition from existing formulae of cosmetic products to formulae which comply with the requirements laid down in this Directive, it is necessary to provide for appropriate transitional periods.(8) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,. Annexes II and III to Directive 76/768/EEC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that, as from 15 February 2011, no cosmetic products which fail to comply with this Directive are placed on the market by Union manufacturers or by importers established within the Union.Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that, as from 15 August 2011, no cosmetic products which fail to comply with this Directive are sold or disposed of to the final consumer in the Union. 1.   Member States shall adopt and publish, by 15 August 2010 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.

26669,"Council Regulation (EC) No 1675/2003 of 22 September 2003 amending Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000 imposing, inter alia, a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of solution of urea and ammonium nitrate originating in Algeria, Belarus, Lithuania, Russia and Ukraine. ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), hereinafter referred to as ""the basic Regulation"", and in particular Article 8 and Article 11(3) thereof,Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,Whereas:A. EXISTING MEASURES(1) Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000(2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of solutions of urea and ammonium nitrate, hereinafter referred to as ""UAN"", originating, inter alia, in Lithuania. The form of the duty set out in that Regulation was a specific duty of EUR 3,98 per tonne for all Lithuanian exporting producers.B. REQUEST FOR A REVIEW(2) In September 2002, a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation was lodged by SC Achema, hereinafter referred to as ""the applicant"", an exporting producer in Lithuania. The request was limited in scope to the examination of the form of the measure and, in particular, to the examination of the acceptability of an undertaking offered by the applicant.(3) The request was based on the grounds that the applicant committed itself to a price discipline in respect of UAN within the framework of another anti-dumping proceeding concerning urea and presented evidence that it was ready to provide, also in the framework of the UAN proceeding, an undertaking of a similar nature, which would remove the injurious effects of dumping and could be monitored.(4) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities(3) and commenced an investigation.C. PROCEDURE(5) The Commission officially advised the authorities of the exporting country of the initiation of the interim review and gave all parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. The European Fertilizer Manufacturers Association, on behalf of the European complainant producers of the original investigation, hereinafter referred to as ""the Community industry"", requested, within the time limits, to take part in this investigation as an interested party.(6) The applicant made the Commission a formal offer of price undertaking.(7) The Commission further sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the purpose of examining the acceptance of this undertaking and all the aspects relating to the monitoring of it. A verification visit was carried out at the premises of the applicant.(8) The applicant and the Community industry were informed of the facts and considerations of the investigation and were given an opportunity to comment.D. INVESTIGATION(9) The applicant exports three kinds of nitrogen fertilisers to the EU: urea, ammonium nitrate, hereinafter referred to as ""AN"", and UAN. Urea and UAN originating in Lithuania are subject to anti-dumping measures in the form of specific duties, imposed by Regulations (EC) No 1995/2000 and (EC) No 92/2002(4) respectively.(10) Pursuant to Commission Decision 2002/498/EC(5), an undertaking offered by the applicant concerning imports of urea was accepted. By this undertaking, the applicant accepted, in order to avoid cross-compensation via exports of other fertilisers, to respect a pricing discipline and to report exports to the Community for its other two fertilisers, i.e. the ammonium nitrate and UAN as well. The applicant's exports of UAN were as a result found to be subject to both a minimum import price and an anti-dumping duty (by nature of Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000).(11) The undertaking offered by the applicant in the framework of the current investigation enables its exports of UAN to be subject to a sole minimum import price, hereinafter referred to as ""MIP"". The MIP is at a level that eliminates the injurious effects of dumping found in the original investigation. The reporting obligations are as strict as for urea, thus allowing an efficient monitoring in conjunction with the undertaking on urea. In addition, a clause on the breach of the relationship of trust between the Commission and the applicant guarantees the efficiency of both undertakings for urea and UAN.(12) The Community industry opposed the acceptance of an undertaking. It alleged that the actual quantities of UAN exported by the applicant for the period 2002 could not be supplied by its effective production capability. The Commission sought from the applicant, and the latter provided, detailed information concerning production capacity, sales and purchases of the three nitrogen fertilisers, i.e. urea, AN and UAN, for the last three calendar years. All of this information was verified on the spot and no irregularity of the nature alleged by the Community industry was found. Thus, the allegations of the Community industry were considered to be unfounded.(13) The Community industry further claimed that, in line with the principle of non-discrimination, the applicant should not be given more favourable treatment than other countries found to be dumping, since in the great majority of recent anti-dumping cases concerning nitrogen fertilisers, the Community has consistently argued that for reasons of efficiency and to avoid manipulation and malpractice, specific anti-dumping duties are the most appropriate measures to be applied. Regarding the discriminatory treatment, it should be noted that each undertaking offer has to be examined on its own merits on the basis of the criteria laid down in Article 8 of the basic Regulation. Thus, undertaking offers can be accepted only in cases where they have the effect of eliminating the injurious dumping and allow effective monitoring. In this respect, it is noted that the main problem for accepting undertakings from other countries was the risk of circumvention in the form of cross-compensation with other products. However, in this case this risk is seriously limited, since the applicant has offered and has been respecting MIPs for the other fertilisers that it exports to the Community with which cross-compensation could arguably take place. Regarding efficiency and effective monitoring of undertakings in respect of similar cases, the experience already obtained from two undertakings concerning urea (one from a Bulgarian exporting producer and one from the applicant) and one concerning UAN (from an Algerian exporting producer), which have been in place for certain time, did not indicate that they had been inefficient. In this respect, it should be noted that the Commission, during the on-the-spot visit at the premises of the applicant, verified all the reports submitted by it in the framework of its undertaking for urea and did not find any irregularity, manipulation or malpractice. Therefore, this claim was rejected.(14) Finally, the Community industry claimed that any price undertaking should stipulate both an ex-works and a cif frontier level in order for all normal costs between ex-works and cif frontier to be accounted for. Regarding this claim, it is noted that the MIP offered by the applicant is based on an ex-works level and that the applicant is obliged to report detailed costs associated with its exports when made at a different level (i.e. cif, fob, etc.). This means that indeed all costs between ex-works and cif level will be accounted for when sales are made at cif level. Therefore, the claim made by the Community industry was rejected.E. UNDERTAKING(15) In view of the foregoing, the offer of an undertaking was accepted by the Commission in Decision 2003/671/EC(6).(16) In order to ensure the effective respect and monitoring of the undertaking, when the request for release for free circulation pursuant to the undertaking is presented to the relevant customs authority, exemption from the duty should be conditional on presentation of a commercial invoice containing the information listed in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 617/2000(7), which is necessary for customs to ascertain that shipments correspond to the commercial documents at the required level of detail. Where no such invoice is presented, or when it does not correspond to the product concerned presented to customs, the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty should instead be payable.(17) It should be noted that in the event of a breach or withdrawal of the undertaking or a suspected breach, an anti-dumping duty may be imposed, pursuant to Article 8(9) and (10) of the basic Regulation.(18) In view of the acceptance of the undertaking offer, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000 accordingly.F. MODIFICATION OF NAME AND ADDRESS(19) In the course of this investigation, the applicant informed the Commission that it had changed its name and address. The name change was due to the fact that the previous company form of the applicant, i.e. Joint Stock Company, no longer exists in Lithuania. The new name of the applicant is Stock Company Achema. The change of its address was due to the change in the Lithuanian postal system.(20) The Commission has examined this information, which demonstrated that all the applicant's activities linked to the manufacturing, sales and exports of fertilisers (AN, UAN and urea) are unaffected by these changes,. Regulation (EC) No 1995/2000 is hereby amended as follows:1. In Article 1(2), the row concerning Lithuania shall be replaced by the following:"">TABLE>""2. Article 2(1), shall be replaced by the following:""1. Imports declared for release into free circulation under the following TARIC additional codes which are produced and directly exported (i.e. shipped and invoiced) by a company named below to a company in the Community acting as an importer shall be exempt from the anti-dumping duty imposed by Article 1 provided that such imports are imported in conformity with paragraph 2 of this Article.>TABLE>"" This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

The Commission has published in the Official Journal successive lists of bicycle assemblers (4) for which the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty in respect of their imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation was suspended pursuant to Article 5(1) of the exemption Regulation.(2) Following the last publication of the list of parties under examination (5), a period of examination has been selected. This period was defined as from 1 January 2007 to 31 May 2009. A questionnaire was sent to all parties under examination, requesting information on the assembly operations conducted during the relevant period of examination.A.   REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION FOR WHICH SUSPENSION WAS PREVIOUSLY GRANTEDA.1.   Acceptablerequests for exemption(3) The Commission received from the parties listed in table 1 below all the information required for the determination of the admissibility of their requests. These parties had already received their suspension with effect from the day of arrival of a first complete application dossier at the Commission premises. The newly requested and provided information was examined and verified, where necessary, at the premises of the parties concerned. Based on this information, the Commission found that the requests submitted by the parties listed in table 1 below are admissible pursuant to Article 4(1) of the exemption Regulation.Name Address Country TARIC additional codeMADIROM PROD SRL Bucuresti, Sector 6, Splaiul Independentei no. 319, OB. 152 Romania A896Rose Versand GmbH Schersweide 4, 46395 Bocholt Germany A897Winora Staiger GmbH Max-Planck-Strasse 6, 97526 Sennfeld Germany A894(4) The facts as finally ascertained by the Commission show that for all of these applicants' bicycle assembly operations, the value of the parts originating in the People's Republic of China which were used in their assembly operations was lower than 60 % of the total value of the parts used in these assembly operations, and they, therefore, fall outside the scope of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation.(5) For this reason, and in accordance with Article 7(1) of the exemption Regulation, the parties listed in the above table should be exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty.(6) In accordance with Article 7(2) of the exemption Regulation, the exemption of the parties listed in table 1 from the extended anti-dumping duty should take effect as from the date of receipt of their requests. In addition, their customs debt in respect of the extended anti-dumping duty is to be considered void as from the date of receipt of their requests for exemption.A.2.   Unacceptable request for exemption(7) The party listed in table 2 below also submitted a request for exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty.Name Address Country TARIC additional codeCITIC – MARMES BICYCLE CZ, s.r.o.

4451,"2007/344/EC: Commission Decision of 16 May 2007 on harmonised availability of information regarding spectrum use within the Community (notified under document number C(2007) 2085) (Text with EEA relevance ). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision) (1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,Whereas:(1) Decision No 676/2002/EC (Radio Spectrum Decision) requires Member States to ensure that their national radio frequency allocation table and information on rights, conditions, procedures, charges and fees concerning the use of radio spectrum, shall be published if relevant in order to meet the aim set out in Article 1 of that Decision. They shall keep this information up to date and shall take measures to develop appropriate databases in order to make such information available to the public, where applicable in accordance with the relevant harmonisation measures taken under Article 4 of that Decision.(2) A study undertaken on behalf of the Commission (2) found that, despite previous efforts, information on the use of spectrum is still made publicly available by Member States with a varying amount of detail, in different formats and with differences in ease of access and updating intervals. Such differences may have an effect on doing business, on planning investments and on decision-making in the context of an internal market for products and services, as well as manufacturing. Information on spectrum usage conditions can further facilitate the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) and indirectly support the sustainable growth of the electronic communications industry in general.(3) The availability of appropriate information is essential in the context of better regulation, since the removal of unnecessary restrictive measures and the introduction of trading of rights to use frequencies require clear, reliable and up-to-date information regarding the actual use.(4) A single information point would ensure an easy access and user-friendly presentation of spectrum information throughout the Community. To be efficient, such information should be presented in a harmonised format with the same content for all Member States and it should be transferable from national databases using modern automatic upload facilities that avoid the need for additional human resources to feed the single information point with national data.(5) There is substantial agreement by Member States and industry participants for using the system set up by the European Radiocommunications Office (ERO) (3). The ERO Frequency Information System (EFIS) is publicly available on the Internet and allows the search for and comparison of official spectrum information within Europe, if such information is uploaded by national administrations. That system should be used by all Member States.(6) The Commission issued a Mandate dated 8 December 2005 to the CEPT on the use of EFIS for publication and access to spectrum information within the Community. CEPT presented the final results of this mandate, which demonstrate the feasibility to use EFIS as a common information portal in the European Community, in accordance with the objectives contained in the mandate. The Radio Spectrum Committee accepted the final report of the CEPT on 5 October 2006 and confirmed the objectives listed in the Mandate. The results of the mandate should be made applicable in the Community.(7) A European spectrum information portal should not replace national spectrum databases but be a complementary portal that adds value through the provision of a single information point with search and compare facilities at the European level, based on information provided in accordance with a common format and level detail.(8) Efforts to harmonise the presentation of radio interface specifications have been undertaken by the Telecommunications Conformity Assessment and Market Surveillance Committee (TCAM) established by Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (4) (R & TTE Directive). These conditions are relevant to Article 5 of the Radio Spectrum Decision and are regarded as important public information, which should be made available by all Member States.(9) The provision of information regarding rights of use may require a particular effort by Members States, but it is also of high importance for a transparent and effective market based-spectrum policy. Member States may need extra time to fulfil the requirements of making available this type of information.(10) Easy access to the information should be guaranteed to all interested parties, subject to compliance with Community rules on business confidentiality in particular to the provisions of Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a common regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services (Framework Directive) (5).(11) This Decision should be implemented and applied in full compliance with the principles and requirements relating to the protection of personal data in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data (6) and in accordance with Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2002 concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (Directive on privacy and electronic communications) (7).(12) The effectiveness of EFIS for Member States and the public should be reviewed from time to time to ensure that the objectives listed in the mandate are being implemented effectively.(13) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,. The purpose of this Decision is to harmonise the availability of information on the use of radio spectrum in the Community through a common information point and by the harmonisation of the format and content of such information. Member States shall use the ERO Frequency Information System (EFIS) set up by the European Radiocommunications Office (ERO) as a common access point, in order to make comparable information regarding the use of spectrum in each Member State available to the public via the Internet. 1.   Member States shall provide to EFIS the following information regarding the use of radio spectrum on their territory:(a) for each frequency band individually:— Service Allocations as defined by the Radio Regulations of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU),— applications using the choice of terms available in EFIS,— Radio Interface Specifications according to the format in Annex I,— Individual Rights of Use in accordance with Annex II;(b) for use of radio spectrum in general:— national contact point capable of answering inquiries from the public related to finding national spectrum information not included in the European spectrum information portal as well as information on procedures and conditions applicable to any envisaged national assignment process for rights of use,— if available, national spectrum policy and strategy in the form of a report.2.   Member States shall update the information referred to in paragraph 1 at least once a year until 1 January 2010 and twice per year thereafter. This shall be executed either through manual entry of data via the Internet or through automatic uploading facilities using a specified format for data exchange. Member States shall inform the Commission if they consider that EFIS is no longer able to provide the technical capacity, integrity and reliability to justify its use as a common information point. This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 2008.The provision of information on Individual Rights of Use shall apply from 1 January 2010. This Decision is addressed to the Member States..

35928,"Council Regulation (EC) No 733/2008 of 15 July 2008 on the conditions governing imports of agricultural products originating in third countries following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station (Codified version). ,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Whereas:(1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 737/90 of 22 March 1990 on the conditions governing imports of agricultural products originating in third countries following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station (1) has been substantially amended several times (2). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.(2) Following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station on 26 April 1986, considerable quantities of radioactive elements were released into the atmosphere.(3) Without prejudice to the possibility of resorting, where necessary, in the future to the provisions of Council Regulation (Euratom) No 3954/87 of 22 December 1987 laying down maximum permitted levels of radioactive contamination of foodstuffs and of feedingstuffs following a nuclear accident or any other case of radiological emergency (3), the Community should ensure, with regard to the specific effects of the accident at Chernobyl, that agricultural products and processed agricultural products intended for human consumption and likely to be contaminated are introduced into the Community only according to common arrangements.(4) Those common arrangements should safeguard the health of consumers, maintain, without having unduly adverse effects on trade between the Community and third countries, the unified nature of the market and prevent deflections of trade.(5) Compliance with the maximum permitted levels should be the subject of appropriate checks, which may lead to prohibiting imports in cases of non-compliance.(6) Radioactive contamination in many agricultural products has decreased and will continue to decrease to the levels existing before the Chernobyl accident. A procedure should therefore be established enabling such products to be excluded from the scope of this Regulation.(7) Since this Regulation covers all agricultural products and processed agricultural products intended for human consumption, there is no need, in the present case, to apply the procedure referred to in Article 14 of Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals (4).(8) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (5),. With the exception of the products unfit for human consumption listed in Annex I and those products which may come to be excluded from the scope of this Regulation in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2), this Regulation shall apply to the products originating in third countries covered by:(a) Annex I to the Treaty;(b) Council Regulation (EC) No 1667/2006 of 7 November 2006 on glucose and lactose (6);(c) Council Regulation (EEC) No 2783/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common system of trade for ovalbumin and lactalbumin (7);(d) Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (8). 1.   Without prejudice to other provisions in force, the release for free circulation of the products referred to in Article 1 shall be subject to compliance with the maximum permitted levels laid down in paragraph 2 of this Article:2.   The accumulated maximum radioactive level in terms of caesium-134 and -137 shall be (9):(a) 370 Bq/kg for milk and milk products listed in Annex II and for foodstuffs intended for the special feeding of infants during the first four to six months of life, which meet, in themselves, the nutritional requirements of this category of persons and are put up for retail sale in packages which are clearly identified and labelled ‘food preparation for infants’;(b) 600 Bq/kg for all other products concerned. 1.   Member States shall check compliance with the maximum permitted levels laid down in Article 2(2) in respect of the products referred to in Article 1, taking into account contamination levels in the country of origin.Checking may also include the presentation of export certificates.Depending on the results of the checks carried out, Member States shall take the measures required for Article 2(1) to apply, including the prohibition of release for free circulation, taking each case individually or generally for a given product.2.   Each Member State shall provide the Commission with all information concerning the application of this Regulation, notably cases of non-compliance with the maximum permitted levels.The Commission shall circulate such information to the other Member States.3.   Where cases of repeated non-compliance with the maximum permitted levels have been recorded, the necessary measures may be taken in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2).Such measures may even include the prohibition of the import of products originating in the third country concerned. The arrangements for applying this Regulation, any amendments to be made to the products in Annex I, and the list of products excluded from this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 5(2). 1.   The Commission shall be assisted by a committee.2.   Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 5 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.The period laid down in Article 5(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at one month. Council Regulation (EEC) No 737/90, as amended by the Regulations listed in Annex III, is repealed.References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex IV. This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.It shall expire:(a) on 31 March 2010, unless the Council decides otherwise at an earlier date, in particular if the list of excluded products referred to in Article 4 covers all the products fit for human consumption to which this Regulation applies;(b) on the entry into force of the Commission Regulation referred to in Article 2(1) of Regulation (Euratom) No 3954/87, if such entry into force takes place before 31 March 2010.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

A temporary derogation should be made from the timetable for concluding contracts laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1535/2003. Otherwise, and particularly in the case of tomatoes, for which contracts must be concluded before 15 February, the parties concerned would be unable to benefit from the aid scheme during the first marketing year.(3) The mechanism for examining compliance with the national processing thresholds provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 does not apply immediately to the new Member States. Transitional measures for its application should therefore be laid down. For the first marketing year of application, for which there are no data for the calculation, the aid should be paid in full. However, as a precautionary measure, a prior reduction should be made to be reimbursed if there is no overrun at the end of the marketing year. For subsequent marketing years, provision should be made for the gradual application of the system for examining compliance with the threshold.(4) Since the aid for tomatoes is published in the January preceding the marketing year concerned, transitional measures should also be laid down for examining compliance with the threshold for the purposes of fixing the level of aid for the 2007/08 marketing year.(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,. Notwithstanding Article 6(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1535/2003, in the case of tomatoes in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (hereafter the new Member States) during the 2004/05 marketing year, contracts between recognised producer organisations within the meaning of paragraph 1(1)(a) of the said Regulation and approved processors shall be concluded by 15 July and at least 10 days before deliveries are to commence. For the 2004/05 marketing year and for the new Member States, the aid provided for in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 shall be:- EUR 25,88/tonne for tomatoes,- EUR 35,78/tonne for peaches,- EUR 121,28/tonne for pears. 1. Where the examination of compliance with the threshold for the purpose of fixing the aid for the 2005/06 marketing year shows that the Community threshold has not been exceeded, an additional amount equal to 25 % of the aid provided for in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 shall be paid in all the new Member States after the end of the 2004/05 marketing year.2. Where the examination of compliance with the threshold for the purpose of fixing the aid for the 2005/06 marketing year shows that the Community threshold has been exceeded, in those new Member States in which the threshold has not been exceeded or in which the threshold has been exceeded by less than 25 % an additional amount shall be paid after the end of the 2004/05 marketing year.The additional amount referred to in the first subparagraph shall be based on the amount by which the national threshold concerned has been exceeded, up to a maximum of 25 % of the aid laid down in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96. In examining compliance with the national processing thresholds for tomatoes, peaches and pears in the new Member States, the calculation shall be based:(a) for the 2005/06 marketing year:(i) in the case of tomatoes, on the quantities for which aid applications were submitted for the 2004/05 marketing year;(ii) in the case of peaches and pears, on the quantities for which aid was actually paid during the 2004/05 marketing year;(b) for the 2006/07 marketing year:(i) in the case of tomatoes, on the average of the quantities for which aid was actually paid during the 2004/05 marketing year and the quantities for which aid applications were submitted for the 2005/06 marketing year;(ii) in the case of peaches and pears, on the average quantities for which aid was actually paid during the 2004/05 and 2005/06 marketing years;(c) for the 2007/08 marketing year in the case of tomatoes, the average of the quantities for which aid was actually paid during the 2004/05 and 2005/06 marketing years and the quantities for which aid applications were submitted for the 2006/07 marketing year.The quantity obtained when examining compliance with the national threshold shall be added to the amounts for all the other Member States for the purposes of examining compliance with the Community threshold. This Regulation shall enter into force subject to and on the date of entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States..

5651,"Directive 2013/56/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November 2013 amending Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators as regards the placing on the market of portable batteries and accumulators containing cadmium intended for use in cordless power tools, and of button cells with low mercury content, and repealing Commission Decision 2009/603/EC  Text with EEA relevance. ,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 192(1) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),After consulting the Committee of the Regions,Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),Whereas:(1) Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) prohibits the placing on the market of portable batteries and accumulators, including those incorporated into appliances, that contain more than 0,002 % of cadmium by weight. However, portable batteries and accumulators intended for use in cordless power tools are exempted from that ban.(2) The Commission has reviewed that exemption in accordance with Article 4(4) of Directive 2006/66/EC.(3) That review has led to the conclusion that, in order to gradually diminish the amount of cadmium released into the environment, the prohibition of the use of cadmium should be extended to portable batteries and accumulators intended for use in cordless power tools because suitable cadmium-free substitutes for such applications are available on the market, namely nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion battery technologies.(4) The existing exemption for portable batteries and accumulators intended for use in cordless power tools should continue to apply until 31 December 2016 in order to enable the recycling industry and consumers along the whole value chain to further adapt to the relevant substitute technologies across all the regions of the Union in a uniform manner.(5) Directive 2006/66/EC prohibits the placing on the market of all batteries or accumulators, whether or not incorporated into appliances, that contain more than 0,0005 % of mercury by weight. However, button cells with a mercury content of no more than 2 % by weight are exempted from that prohibition. The Union button cell market is already experiencing a shift towards mercury-free button cells. It is therefore appropriate to prohibit the marketing of button cells with a mercury content exceeding 0,0005 % by weight.(6) As a consequence of the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the powers conferred on the Commission under Directive 2006/66/EC need to be aligned with Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).(7) In order to supplement or amend Directive 2006/66/EC, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of criteria for the assessment of equivalent conditions regarding treatment and recycling outside the Union, capacity labelling of portable and automotive batteries and accumulators and exemptions from the labelling requirements. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing-up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and the Council.(8) Wherever appropriate, the producer registration requirements and format should be coherent with regard to the registration rules and format established pursuant to Article 16(3) of, and Part A of Annex X to Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).(9) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of Directive 2006/66/EC, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission in respect of transitional arrangements regarding minimum collection rates, a common methodology for the calculation of annual sales of portable batteries and accumulators to end-users, detailed rules regarding the calculation of recycling efficiencies, and a questionnaire or outline for national implementation reports. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).(10) Directive 2006/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) was repealed by Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (7) with effect from 12 December 2010.(11) Directive 2006/66/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,. Directive 2006/66/EC is amended as follows:(1) Article 4 is amended as follows:(a) paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:(b) point (c) of paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:‘(c) cordless power tools; this exemption in respect of cordless power tools shall apply until 31 December 2016.’;(c) paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:(2) Article 6(2) is replaced by the following:(3) Article 10(4) is replaced by the following:(4) Article 11 is replaced by the following:(5) Article 12(6) is replaced by the following:(6) Article 12(7) is deleted;(7) Article 15(3) is replaced by the following:(8) Article 17 is replaced by the following:(9) Article 18(2) is replaced by the following:(10) Article 21 is amended as follows:(a) paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:(b) paragraph 7 is replaced by the following:(11) Article 22(2) is replaced by the following:(12) The following Article is added:(13) Article 24 is replaced by the following:(14) the following Annex is added:(i) name of the producer and brand names (if available) under which they operate in the Member State;(ii) address(es) of the producer: postal code and location, street name and number, country, URL, telephone number, as well as a contact person, fax number and e-mail address of the producer, if available;(iii) indication on the type of batteries and accumulators placed on the market by the producer: portable batteries and accumulators, industrial batteries and accumulators, or automotive batteries and accumulators;(iv) information on how the producer meets its responsibilities: by individual or collective scheme;(v) date of the application for registration;(vi) national identification code of the producer, including European tax number or national tax number of the producer (optional);(vii) declaration stating that the information provided is true.
