COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 418/2012
of 16 May 2012
amending Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 as regards licence obligations for certain agricultural products, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 as regards the transfer of rights deriving from licences for cereals and rice imported under tariff quotas
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 134 and Article 161(3), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
In accordance with Articles 130 and 161 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, in order to manage imports and exports, the Commission has been given the power to determine the products for which import or export will be subject to presentation of a licence. When assessing the need for a licence system, the Commission has to take into account the appropriate instruments for the management of the markets and in particular for monitoring the imports or exports. |
(2) |
Article 1(2)(a)(i) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 of 23 April 2008 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (2) in conjunction with Section A of Part I of Annex II to that Regulation provides for a licence obligation for imports of, among others, durum wheat including products imported under tariff quotas as referred to in Article 1(2)(a)(iii) of that Regulation, barley and grain sorghum other than hybrids for sowing, all these products including seeds thereof. Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 also provides for a licence obligation for imports of manioc, arrowroot, salep, Jerusalem artichokes, sweet potatoes and similar roots and tubers with high starch or inulin content, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not sliced or in the form of pellets, for imports of sago pith and for imports of sweet potatoes for human consumption. |
(3) |
Article 1(2)(b)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 in conjunction with Section A of Part II of Annex II to that Regulation provides for a licence obligation for exports of, among others, durum wheat, rye, barley and oats, all of them including seeds thereof. |
(4) |
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 refers to CN codes in order to indicate the products which are subject to the presentation of an import or export licence under the conditions laid down by that Regulation. |
(5) |
It seems appropriate to adapt the CN codes used in Parts I, II and III of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 to those used in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (3) as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 (4). Moreover, some minor linguistic changes to Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 are needed in the interest of clarity. |
(6) |
In the interest of simplification and for the purpose of alleviating the administrative burden for Member States and operators, the requirement of import licences for seeds of durum wheat, including products imported under tariff quotas as referred to in Article 1(2)(a)(iii) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008, of barley and of grain sorghum other than hybrids for sowing, the requirement of import licences for manioc, arrowroot, salep, Jerusalem artichokes, sweet potatoes and similar roots and tubers with high starch or inulin content, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not sliced or in the form of pellets, for sago pith and for sweet potatoes for human consumption and the requirement of export licences for seeds of durum wheat, of rye, of barley and of oats should be abolished. |
(7) |
Pursuant to Article 130(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 introduced a licence obligation for imports of all sugar products falling within CN code 1701 imported under preferential conditions other than tariff quotas. The amount of the security and the period of validity of import licences for all products falling within that CN code imported under preferential conditions other than tariff quotas are set out in Section C of Part I of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 by way of a reference to specific provisions of the sectoral Commission regulations. Since those regulations have been repealed in the meantime, it is appropriate to specify the amount of the security and the period of validity of import licences of the products concerned in that Section. |
(8) |
The product codes for which an import licence is required are currently listed in Part I of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 376/2008. By Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1667/2006 of 7 November 2006 on glucose and lactose (5), all the provisions, and in particular the system of trade with third countries, adopted for the dairy product lactose and lactose syrup falling within CN code 1702 19 00 are extended to the industrial product lactose and lactose syrup falling within CN code 1702 11 00. For the sake of completeness, transparency and clarity, it is appropriate to include CN code 1702 11 00 in Part I of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 376/2008. |
(9) |
Horizontal rules concerning transferability of licences including transfer of rights deriving from licences or certificates are laid down in Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008. In the interest of clarity as regards transferability of licences issued in accordance with Article 1(2)(a)(ii) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 concerning tariff quotas, it seems appropriate to adapt Article 6(7) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 of 28 July 2003 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (6). |
(10) |
Regulations (EC) No 376/2008 and (EC) No 1342/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(11) |
For the sake of clarity, it is appropriate to lay down the rules concerning the import licences issued for seeds of durum wheat including products imported under tariff quotas as referred to in Article 1(2)(a)(iii) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008, of barley and of grain sorghum other than hybrids for sowing, the import licences for manioc, arrowroot, salep, Jerusalem artichokes, sweet potatoes and similar roots and tubers with high starch or inulin content, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not sliced or in the form of pellets; sago pith; sweet potatoes for human consumption and the export licences issued for seeds of durum wheat, of rye, of barley and of oats, which are still valid on the date of entry into force of this Regulation. |
(12) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets, |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 419/2012
of 16 May 2012
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 562/2011 adopting the plan allocating to the Member States resources to be charged to the 2012 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the European Union
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular points (f) and (g) of Article 43, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agri-monetary arrangements for the euro (2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 562/2011 (3) as amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 208/2012 (4) has set the deadlines for the submission of requests for payment and the execution of payments at 30 September 2012 and 15 October 2012 respectively and provides that the implementation period of the 2012 distribution plan is to end on 28 February 2013. |
(2) |
To enable the Member States to use those deadlines efficiently, it is necessary to allow the possibility of granting advance payments for the transport of products to the storage depots of the charitable organisations and for the transport, administrative and storage costs incurred by the charitable organisations designated to distribute the products. In order to ensure the efficient implementation of the annual plan, the same possibility should be allowed for the supply of products in duly justified cases. In addition it needs to be established how and when a security is required. |
(3) |
Taking into consideration the non-profit nature of the designated organisations referred to in Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the competent authorities of the Member States should be empowered to allow alternative guarantee instruments when advances are paid to those organisations in respect of their administrative, transport and storage costs. |
(4) |
For accounting purposes, Member States should be required to notify the Commission of certain information related to the advance payments. |
(5) |
Implementing Regulation (EU) No 562/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Implementing Regulation (EU) No 562/2011 the following Article 4a is inserted:
‘Article 4a
1. For the purpose of implementing the annual distribution plan referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, the operators selected in accordance with Article 4(4) and (6) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 and the designated organisations referred to in Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 may submit to the competent authority of the Member State concerned an application for advance payments relating to the cost of transport of products to the storage depots of the designated organisations referred to in point (a) of the second subparagraph of Article 27(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and the administrative, transport and storage costs referred to in point (b) of the second subparagraph of that Article. In duly justified cases the Member States may also provide advance payments relating to the cost of the supply of the products to operators selected in accordance with Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010 provided that, to the satisfaction of the Member States concerned, those operators have demonstrated that prior to 15 October 2012:
(a) |
they have taken legally binding commitments to implement the operation; |
(b) |
they have significantly progressed with the implementation of the operation; and |
(c) |
they have taken all measures necessary to ensure that the implementation shall be completed no later than 28 February 2013. |
2. The competent authority may grant an advance payment up to 100 % of the amount applied for, subject to the establishment of a security equal to 110 % of the advance referred to in paragraph 1. In the case of operators selected in accordance with Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 807/2010, the security referred to in that Article shall be deemed sufficient for the purposes of this Article.
3. For the purposes of paragraph 2, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 282/2012 (5) shall apply.
4. In the case of designated organisations referred to in paragraph 1, the paying agency may accept a written guarantee from a public authority, in accordance with provisions applied in the Member States, covering an amount equal to the percentage referred to in paragraph 2, provided that that public authority undertakes to pay the amount covered by that guarantee in case the entitlement to the advance paid is not established. Member States may also provide for an instrument of equivalent effect, in accordance with the provisions applied in the Member States, on condition that it ensures the repayment of the advance granted in case the entitlement to it is not established.
5. No later than 15 January 2013, Member States shall notify the Commission of the total amount of the advance payments made by 15 October 2012 in accordance with paragraph 2 which have not been cleared and which relate to operations that have not yet been completed by the final beneficiaries.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(2012/261/EU)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (1), and in particular point 28 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market. |
(2) |
The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis. |
(3) |
The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million. |
(4) |
Spain submitted an application on 1 July 2011 to mobilise the EGF in respect of 1 138 redundancies in 513 enterprises operating in the NACE Revision 2 Division 41 (‘Construction of buildings’) in the NUTS II region of Comunidad Valenciana (ES52), and supplemented it by additional information up to 25 November 2011. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission, therefore, proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 1 642 030. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION
of 16 May 2012
amending Decision 2008/589/EC establishing a specific control and inspection programme related to the cod stocks in the Baltic Sea
(2012/262/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy, amending Regulations (EC) No 847/96, (EC) No 2371/2002, (EC) No 811/2004, (EC) No 768/2005, (EC) No 2115/2005, (EC) No 2166/2005, (EC) No 388/2006, (EC) No 509/2007, (EC) No 676/2007, (EC) No 1098/2007, (EC) No 1300/2008, (EC) No 1342/2008 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1627/94 and (EC) No 1966/2006 (1), and in particular Article 95 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Decision 2008/589/EC (2) established a specific control and inspection programme applicable for a period of four years to ensure the harmonised implementation of the multiannual plan set up by Council Regulation (EC) No 1098/2007 (3) for cod stocks in the Baltic Sea and the fisheries exploiting those stocks. |
(2) |
Recent scientific advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) suggests that significant part of the Baltic salmon fishery may be misreported, which may have serious negative impact on the status of that stock. |
(3) |
The specific control and inspection programme is necessary for the organisation of operational cooperation between Member States concerned and to allow the Community Fisheries Control Agency to organise joint deployment plans in accordance with Article 9 of Council Regulation (EC) No 768/2005 (4). |
(4) |
In order to ensure the continued harmonised implementation of the multiannual plan set up by Regulation (EC) No 1098/2007, the specific control and inspection programme should be extended for a period of one year. |
(5) |
The Commission has adopted a proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a multiannual plan for the Baltic salmon stock and the fisheries exploiting that stock (5). Pending the entry into force of that regulation it is appropriate to address the possible misreporting reported by ICES. |
(6) |
To address the possible misreporting in the fisheries exploiting the Baltic Sea salmon stocks, it is appropriate to include those stocks in this specific control and inspection programme. |
(7) |
Decision 2008/589/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(8) |
The measures provided for in this Decision have been established in concert with the Member States concerned. |
(9) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
