COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 273/2007

of 15 March 2007

fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 31(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.

(2)

Given the present situation on the market in milk and milk products, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.

(3)

The second subparagraph of Article 31(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.

(4)

In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the European Community and the Dominican Republic on import protection for milk powder in the Dominican Republic (2) approved by Council Decision 98/486/EC (3), a certain amount of Community milk products exported to the Dominican Republic can benefit from reduced customs duties. For this reason, export refunds granted to products exported under this scheme should be reduced by a certain percentage.

(5)

The Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Export refunds as provided for in Article 31 of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in Article 3(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 (4).

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 275/2007

of 15 March 2007

amending Regulation (EC) No 1825/2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the labelling of beef and beef products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 establishing a system for the identification and registration of bovine animals and regarding the labelling of beef and beef products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 820/97 (1), and in particular the fourth paragraph of Article 14 and Article 19(a) and (b) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

The definition of the groups referred to in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 and the question of their homogeneity have been interpreted differently. Commission Regulation (EC) No 1825/2000 (2) should therefore specify how those groups are to be made up.

(2)

Various questions have been raised about the labelling of minced beef when it is mixed with meats of other species. Section I of Part One of 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) lays down specific rules for the classification of products made up of such mixtures. A reference to that nomenclature by means of the CN codes referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 will provide the necessary clarification.

(3)

Constraints as regards homogeneity resulting from the application of Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 make it difficult for producers of cut meats and trimmings to establish homogeneous groups of sufficient size to meet customer requirements. These difficulties are exacerbated when large quantities are ordered. Experience has shown that these difficulties and the substantial additional operations they involve result in numerous errors that often compromise the traceability of this type of product.

(4)

Where possible, operators are tending more and more to choose one of the few large suppliers in order to avoid the additional constraints involved in managing several groups with different characteristics. Over time, this could threaten the continued existence of certain small and medium-sized slaughterhouses and cutting plants, which may be excluded from certain markets.

(5)

The problems encountered by producers of cut meats and trimmings are similar to those experienced by producers of minced meat. Adopting for trimmings measures similar to those laid down for minced meat would resolve the problems faced by the operators concerned. As regards cut meats, experience has shown that the vast majority of these problems could be resolved by allowing groups to be reconstituted from the meat of animals slaughtered in three slaughterhouses and from carcases cut up in three cutting plants, while ensuring traceability.

(6)

Experience has also shown that operators often have difficulties in applying the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 as regards labelling in outlets for the sale of non-pre-packaged cut meats to the final consumer. Meat is generally cut and sold in such establishments at the request of the customer, which makes it impossible, or at least very difficult, to constitute in advance groups of animals within the meaning of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000. Similarly, constantly updating in real time the compulsory information on labels in step with the permanent restocking of sales counters is very difficult. Simplified labelling rules therefore need to be adopted for these products. The adoption for these products of rules similar to those already adopted for minced meat would resolve most of the problems being experienced by these operators.

(7)

At the same time, it must be ensured that outlets for sale to the final consumer have available at all times information on the slaughterhouses at which the animals were slaughtered and the plants at which the carcases were cut up for the non-pre-packaged cut meats displayed for sale each day so that consumers who so request can be given that information orally. This will maintain a level of traceability at least equivalent to that laid down for minced meat.

(8)

In addition, while maintaining the requirements as regards traceability and the recording of information on meat displayed for sale at outlets for sale to the final consumer, it should be permitted for such meat to be cut up on different days.

(9)

Regulation (EC) No 1825/2000 should therefore be amended.

(10)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 1825/2000 is hereby amended as follows:

1.

The following Article 1(a) is inserted after Article 1:

‘Article 1a

Definitions

For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:

(a)

“minced meat”: any meat that has been minced into fragments or passed through a spiral-screw mincer, and that falls within one of the CN codes referred to in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 and contains less than 1 % salt;

(b)

“trimmings”: small pieces of meat recognised as fit for human consumption produced exclusively during trimming operations during the boning of carcases and/or the cutting up of meat;

(c)

“cut meat”: meat which has been cut into small cubes, slices or other individual portions that do not require further cutting by an operator before being bought by the final consumer and can be directly used by that consumer. This definition does not cover minced meat and trimmings;

(d)

“pre-packaged cut meat”: the individual pack offered unaltered to the final consumer or to an establishment engaged solely in retail sales, made up of cut meat and the packaging in which it was packed before being offered for sale, whether the packaging covers it fully or partially, but such that the content cannot be altered without opening or changing the packaging;

(e)

“non-pre-packaged cut meat”: cut meat displayed for sale non-pre-packaged in outlets for sale to the final consumer and all pieces of meat displayed for sale non-pre-packaged in outlets for sale to the final consumer, intended to be cut at the request of the final consumer;

(f)

“batch”: meat, on the bone or boned, for example, carcases, quarters or boned pieces of meat, cut up, minced or packed together under practically identical conditions;

(g)

“retail”: the handling and/or processing of meat and its storage at the point of sale or delivery to the final consumer, including caterers, company canteens, institutional catering, restaurants and other similar food service operations, shops, supermarket distribution centres and wholesale outlets;

(h)

“final consumer”: the ultimate consumer of cut meat who does not use it as part of a food business operation or activity’.

2.

Article 4 is replaced by the following:

‘Article 4

Size and composition of a group

1.   The size of the group referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 shall be defined:

(a)

during the cutting of carcases or quarters, by the number of carcases or quarters cut together and constituting one batch for the cutting plant concerned;

(b)

during further cutting or mincing, by the number of carcases or quarters whose meat constitutes one batch for the cutting or mincing plant concerned.

The size of the group may not, in any case, exceed the production of one day.

2.   When constituting the batches referred to in paragraph 1, operators shall ensure that:

(a)

all carcases or quarters in a batch cut together are of animals born in the same country, raised in the same country or countries and slaughtered in the same country and at the same slaughterhouse;

(b)

all carcases from which meat in a batch undergoes further cutting comply with point (a) and must have been cut up at the same cutting plant;

(c)

all meat in a batch that undergoes mincing is from animals slaughtered in the same country.

3.   By way of derogation from the requirement regarding the same slaughterhouse and the same cutting plant laid down in paragraph 2(b), during the production of cut meat, operators shall be authorised to constitute batches from meat of animals slaughtered at a maximum of three different slaughterhouses and from carcases cut up at a maximum of three different cutting plants.

4.   By way of derogation from paragraph 2(b), during the production of trimmings, operators shall, when constituting batches, be required to comply only with the requirement regarding the same country of slaughter.’

3.

Article 5(1) is deleted.

4.

The following Articles are inserted after Article 5:

‘Article 5a

Trimmings

1.   By way of derogation from Article 13(2)(b) and (c) and (5)(a)(i) and (ii) of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000, operators and organisations shall indicate on labels for trimmings:

(a)

the country of slaughter of the animals from which the trimmings came; the indication shall read: “Slaughtered in (name of the Member State or third country of slaughter)”;

(b)

the country in which the trimmings were produced and the approval number of the plant at which they were produced; the indication shall read: “Produced in (name of the Member State or third country of production and approval number of the plant)”;

(c)

the countries in which the animals constituting the group were born and raised; the indication shall read: “Born and raised in (names of the countries in which the animals were born and raised)”.

2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1(a) and (c), where all the animals in the group were born, raised and slaughtered in the same country, operators shall be authorised to use the indication “Country of origin:” followed by the name of the Member State or third country in which the animals were born, raised and slaughtered.

Article 5b

Pre-packaged cut meat

By way of derogation from Article 13(2)(b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000, operators and organisations availing themselves of the possibility offered by Article 4(3) of this Regulation shall indicate the following on labels for pre-packaged cut meats in addition to that provided for in Article 13(5)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000:

(a)

the country of slaughter of the animals, followed by the approval number of the slaughterhouse or, where appropriate, the two or three slaughterhouses at which the animals constituting the group were slaughtered; the indication shall read: “Animals in the group slaughtered in (name of the Member State or third country of slaughter) (approval number(s) of the slaughterhouse or the two or three slaughterhouses concerned)”;

(b)

the country in which the carcases were cut up, followed by the approval number of the cutting plant or, where appropriate, the two or three cutting plants at which the carcases were cut up; the indication shall read: “Cutting of meat in batch in: (name of the Member State or third country in which meat was cut up) (approval number(s) of the plant or the two or three plants concerned)”.

Article 5c

Non-pre-packaged cut meat

1.   Operators and organisations shall ensure that, where the derogation provided for in Article 4(3) is applied, the constitution of batches of all non-pre-packaged cut meats displayed at the same time at retail outlets for sale to the final consumer is in accordance with that Article 4(3).

2.   By way of derogation from Article 13(2)(b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000, at points of sale to the final consumer operators and organisations shall label all non-pre-packaged cut meats displayed for sale with the name of the country in which the animals from which the meat came were born, raised and slaughtered, followed by the name of the country in which the carcases were cut up.

Meat of animals born and/or raised and/or slaughtered in different countries shall be clearly separated when displayed for sale. Information shall be displayed in the sale outlet by such meats so as to allow the final consumer to distinguish easily between meat from different origins.

Operators who display non-pre-packaged cut meats together for sale each day shall record, with the date, the approval numbers of the slaughterhouses in which the animals were slaughtered and the cutting plants in which the carcases were cut up. They shall provide that information to consumers who so request.

3.   By way of derogation from the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) and providing that the requirements laid down in paragraph 2 of this Article are met, in the case of non-pre-packaged cut beef and/or veal displayed for sale to the final consumer, the size of the group may exceed one day’s production.’

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Regulation (EC) No 581/2004 opening a standing invitation to tender for exports refunds concerning certain types of butter and Regulation (EC) No 582/2004 opening a standing invitation to tender for exports refunds concerning skimmed milk powder

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3)(b) and (14) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

According to Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 581/2004 (2) and to Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 582/2004 (3), certain destinations are excluded from the granting of an export refund.

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 61/2007 of 25 January 2007 fixing the export refunds for milk and milk products (4) has excluded Liechtenstein, Communes of Livigno and Campione d'Italia, Heligoland, Greenland and Faeroe Islands from the granting of a refund, as from 26 January 2007, by including them in zones L 20 and L 40, listing the destinations not eligible for export refunds. It is therefore necessary to exclude the same destinations from the export refunds fixed by tender under Regulations (EC) No 581/2004 and No 582/2004.

(3)

Regulations (EC) No 581/2004 and (EC) No 582/2004 should be amended accordingly.

(4)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

COMMISSION DECISION

of 15 March 2007

derogating from the rules of origin set out in Council Decision 2001/822/EC as regards certain fishery products imported from Saint Pierre and Miquelon

(notified under document number C(2007) 834)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/167/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Decision 2001/822/EC of 27 November 2001 on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Community (Overseas Association Decision) (1), and in particular Article 37 of Annex III thereto,

Whereas:

(1)

On 6 August 2001 the Commission adopted Decision 2001/657/EC derogating from the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ to take account of the special situation of Saint Pierre and Miquelon with regard to frozen fillets of cod, redfish, plaice and halibut of CN code 0304 20 (2). That derogation expired on 31 August 2006.

(2)

On 30 November 2006 Saint Pierre and Miquelon requested a new derogation from the rules of origin set out in Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC for a period of six years. This request covers a total annual quantity of 2 200 tonnes of frozen fish fillets, frozen gutted fish without head, fillets of salt cod, whole salt cod and frozen fish meat (or minced blocks) originating in third countries and processed in Saint Pierre and Miquelon for export to the Community. The derogation was requested not only for the fishery products which had been covered by Decision 2001/657/EC, but also for other fishery products falling within CN headings 0303, 0304 and 0305.

(3)

Saint Pierre and Miquelon has based its request on the continuing shortfall in the sources of supply of other originating fish.

(4)

A derogation should be granted from the rules of origin set out in Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC for products falling within CN headings 0304 and 0305. This derogation is justified under Article 37(1) and (5)(a) and (b) of that Annex, in particular as regards the development of an existing local industry, the economic and social impact and the particular situation of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. As the derogation is being granted for products which involve actual processing, it will contribute to the development of an existing industry. The derogation is essential for the preservation of the activity of the plant in question, which employs a significant number of permanent staff and seasonal workers. Use of the derogation granted in 2001 remained extremely low (108 tonnes in 2003, 552 tonnes in 2004, 356 tonnes in 2005 and 491 tonnes from January to November 2006). The derogation should therefore be granted for the same total annual quantity as covered by the derogation granted in 2001, i.e. 1 290 tonnes. Moreover, the extension of the derogation to a larger number of species than that covered by Decision 2001/657/EC will allow better use to be made of the quantity benefiting from the derogation.

(5)

Subject to compliance with certain conditions relating to quantities, surveillance and duration, the derogation would not cause serious injury to an established industry of the Community or one or more of the Member States.

(6)

It follows from the general scheme of Article 37 that a derogation from the rules of origin set out in Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC may not be granted for products falling within CN heading 0303. These do not in fact contribute to the development of an existing industry because they are the subject of packaging operations, which are not in the nature of genuinely industrial activities.

(7)

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Common Customs Code (3) lays down rules for the management of tariff quotas. Those rules should be applied mutatis mutandis to the management of the quantity in respect of which the derogation in question is granted.

(8)

As Decision 2001/822/EC expires on 31 December 2011, it should be laid down that the derogation will continue to apply after 31 December 2011 if a new decision is adopted on the association of the overseas countries and territories with the European Community or if Decision 2001/822/EC is extended.

(9)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Notwithstanding Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC, the fishery products processed in Saint Pierre and Miquelon which are listed in the Annex to this Decision shall be regarded as originating in Saint Pierre and Miquelon where they are obtained from non-originating fish, in accordance with the terms of this Decision.

Article 2

The derogation provided for in Article 1 shall apply to the fishery products and to the annual quantity shown in the Annex hereto which are imported into the Community from Saint Pierre and Miquelon during the period from 1 April 2007 to 31 March 2013.

Article 3

Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 relating to the management of tariff quotas shall apply mutatis mutandis to the management of the quantity referred to in the Annex hereto.

Article 4

The customs authorities of Saint Pierre and Miquelon shall take the necessary steps to carry out quantitative checks on exports of the products referred to in Article 1.

To that end, all the certificates they issue pursuant to this Decision shall bear a reference to it.

The competent authorities of Saint Pierre and Miquelon shall forward to the Commission every three months a statement of the quantities in respect of which EUR.1 movement certificates have been issued pursuant to this Decision and the serial numbers of those certificates.

Article 5

Box 7 of EUR.1 certificates issued under this Decision shall contain one of the following entries:

‘Derogation — Decision No …’,

‘Dérogation — Décision no …’,

indicating the number of this Decision.

Article 6

This Decision shall apply from 1 April 2007 until 31 December 2011.

However, if a new preferential regime is adopted replacing Decision 2001/822/EC beyond 31 December 2011, or if the current regime is extended, this Decision shall continue to apply until the date of expiry of the new regime or of the extended current regime but in any case not later than 31 March 2013.

Article 7

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 15 March 2007.
