COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 536/2007

of 15 May 2007

opening and providing for the administration of a tariff quota for poultrymeat allocated to the United States of America

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in poultrymeat (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

The agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Community and the United States of America pursuant to Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions in the schedules of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic, in the course of their accession to the European Union (2), approved by Council Decision 2006/333/EC (3), provides for the integration of a specific tariff quota allocated to the United States for imports of 16 665 tonnes of poultry.

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (4) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (5) should apply, save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.

(3)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1232/2006 of 16 August 2006 opening and providing for the administration of an import tariff quota of poultrymeat allocated to the United States of America (6) has to be amended substantially. Regulation (EC) No 1232/2006 should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new regulation.

(4)	In order to maintain a regular flow of imports, the quota period from 1 July to 30 June of the following year should be subdivided into a number of sub-periods. In any event, under Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 licences are valid only up to and including the last day of the tariff quota period.

(5)	The tariff quota should be administered on the basis of import licences. To that end, detailed rules for the submission of applications and the information which must appear in applications and licences should be laid down.

(6)	In the light of the risk of speculation that is inherent in the system in question in the poultrymeat sector, precise conditions should be laid down as regards operators' access to the tariff quota arrangements.

(7)	For appropriate administration of the tariff quotas, the security linked to the import licences should be set at EUR 20 per 100 kilograms.

(8)	In the interest of the operators, the Commission should establish the quantities that have not been applied for, which are to be carried over to the following sub-period in accordance with Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006.

(9)

Access to the tariff quota should be subject to the presentation of a certificate of origin issued by the authorities of the United States in accordance with 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 Community Customs Code (7).

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 537/2007

of 15 May 2007

concerning the authorisation of the fermentation product of Aspergillus oryzae (NRRL 458) (Amaferm) as a feed additive

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.

(2)	In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(3)	The application concerns authorisation of the fermentation product of Aspergillus oryzae NRRL 458 (Amaferm), as a feed additive for dairy cows, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

(4)

The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinion of 8 March 2006 that the fermentation product of Aspergillus oryzae NRRL 458 (Amaferm) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment (2). It further concluded that that fermentation product does not present any other risk which would, in accordance with Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, exclude authorisation. Amaferm has shown to produce positive effects on milk yield of dairy cows. The opinion of the Authority recommends appropriate measures for user safety. It does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post market monitoring. This opinion also verifies the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

(5)	The assessment of that preparation shows that the conditions for authorisation, provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised, as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

(6)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th 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.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.

(2)	In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the preparation set out in the Annex to this Regulation. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 539/2007

of 15 May 2007

opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas in the egg sector and for egg albumin

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in eggs (1), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2783/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common system of trade for ovalbumin and lactalbumin (2), and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	In the framework of the World Trade Organisation, the Community has undertaken to open tariff quotas for certain products in the egg sector and for egg albumin. As a result, detailed rules for the administration of those quotas should be laid down.

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (3) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (4) should apply, save as otherwise provided for in this Regulation.

(3)	Commission Regulation (EC) No 593/2004 of 30 March 2004 opening and providing for the administration of the tariff quotas in the egg sector and for egg albumin (5) must be substantially amended. Regulation (EC) No 593/2004 should therefore be repealed and replaced by a new regulation.

(4)	In order to ensure a regular flow of imports, the quota period from 1 July to 30 June of the following year should be subdivided into a number of subperiods. In any event, under Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 licences are valid only up to and including the last day of the tariff quota period.

(5)	The administration of the tariff quotas should be based on import licences. To that end, detailed rules for the submission of applications and the information which must appear in applications and licences should be laid down.

(6)	In view of the risk of speculation inherent in the system in the egg sector and for egg albumin, clear conditions should be laid down as regards access for operators to the tariff quota scheme.

(7)	In order to ensure proper administration of the tariff quotas, the security for import licences should be set at EUR 20 per 100 kilograms.

(8)	In the interest of the operators, the Commission should establish the quantities that have not been applied for, which are to be carried over to the following subperiod in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 7(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006.

(9)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,

DIRECTIVES

16.5.2007

Official Journal of the European Union

L 128/31

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2007/27/EC

of 15 May 2007

amending certain Annexes to Council Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC as regards maximum residue levels for etoxazole, indoxacarb, mesosulfuron, 1-methylcyclopropene, MCPA and MCPB, tolylfluanid and triticonazole

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 86/362/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on cereals (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 86/363/EEC of 24 July 1986 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on foodstuffs of animal origin (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/642/EEC of 27 November 1990 on the fixing of maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (4), and in particular Article 4(1)(f) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	The following existing active substances have been included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC: MCPA and MCPB by Commission Directive 2005/57/EC (5), tolylfluanid by Commission Directive 2006/6/EC (6), triticonazole by Commission Directive 2006/39/EC (7).

(2)

The following new active substances have been included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC: etoxazole by Commission Directive 2005/34/EC (8), mesosulfuron by Commission Directive 2003/119/EC (9), indoxacarb by Commission Directive 2006/10/EC (10) and 1-methylcyclopropene by Commission Directive 2006/19/EC (11).

(3)

The inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned was based on the assessment of the information submitted concerning the proposed use. Information relating to that use has been submitted by certain Member States in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of that Directive. The information available has been reviewed and is sufficient to allow certain maximum residue levels (MRLs) to be fixed.

(4)	Where no Community MRL or provisional MRL exists, Member States are to establish a national provisional MRL in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC before plant protection products containing these active substances may be authorised.

(5)

Community MRLs and the levels recommended by the Codex Alimentarius are fixed and evaluated following similar procedures. There are a number of Codex MRLs for tolylfluanid and they were taken into account. The MRLs based on Codex MRLs have been evaluated in the light of the risks for the consumers. No unacceptable risk was identified when using the toxicological end points based on the studies available to the Commission.

(6)

The Commission review reports which were prepared for the inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of the active substances concerned, fixed the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) and, if necessary, the Acute Reference Dose (ARfD) for those substances. The exposure of consumers of food products treated with the active substance concerned has been assessed in accordance with Community procedures. Account has also been taken of guidelines published by the World Health Organisation (12) and the opinion of the Scientific Committee for Plants (13) on the methodology employed. It is concluded that MRLs proposed will not lead to those ADIs or ARfD being exceeded.

(7)	In order to ensure that the consumer is adequately protected from exposure to residues resulting from unauthorised uses of plant protection products, provisional MRLs should be set for the relevant product/pesticide combinations at the lower limit of analytical determination.

(8)

The setting at Community level of such provisional MRLs does not prevent the Member States from establishing provisional MRLs for the substances concerned in accordance with Article 4(1)(f) of Directive 91/414/EEC and Annex VI to that Directive. It is considered that a period of four years is sufficient to permit further uses of the active substance concerned. The provisional MRL should then become definitive.

(9)	It is therefore necessary to modify the MRLs set out in the Annexes to Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC, to allow for proper surveillance and control of the prohibition of their uses and to protect the consumer.

(10)	Directives 86/362/EEC, 86/363/EEC and 90/642/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(11)	The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Directive 86/362/EEC is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Directive.

Article 2

Directive 86/363/EEC is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Directive.

They shall apply those provisions from 17 November 2007.

When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 21 March 2007

on State aid scheme C 18/2006 (ex N 524/2005) (which Italy was planning to implement for small and micro enterprises)

(notified under document number C(2007) 1175)

(Only the Italian version is authentic)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/335/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 88(2) thereof,

Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 62(1)(a) thereof,

Having called on interested parties to submit their comments pursuant to those provisions (1),

Whereas:

I. PROCEDURE

(1)

By letter of 18 October 2005 the Italian authorities notified the Commission of the above aid scheme. They provided the Commission with further information by letters of 20 December 2005, 13 March 2006 and 27 March 2006. The Commission requested additional information by letters of 10 November 2005 and 8 February 2006.

(2)	By letter of 16 May 2006, the Commission informed Italy that it had decided to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the aid measure.

(3)	The Commission decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2). The Commission called on interested parties to submit their comments.

(4)	Italy submitted its comments by letter of 23 June 2006, in which it announced its intention to submit further observations on a specific aspect.

(5)	No interested parties submitted comments during the procedure.

(6)	The Commission asked for supplementary information by letters of 21 September 2006 and 10 January 2007.

(7)	By letter of 30 January 2007, registered as received by the Commission on 2 February 2007, Italy informed the Commission that the notified measure had been withdrawn.

II. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURE

(8)

The objective of the measure was to promote the growth of small and micro enterprises resulted from an aggregation process (merger with or acquisition of other small and micro enterprises) by means of a tax credit. The budget foreseen for the notified measure was EUR 120 million for 2006, EUR 242 million for 2007 and EUR 122 million for 2008.

(9)	The legal basis of the measure is Article 2 of Decree Law No 106 of 17 June 2005, converted into Law No 156 of 31 July 2005. It contains a standstill clause. The aid scheme has not been put in place.

(10)

Italy already enacted a similar measure in 2005 (3) under the Block Exemption Regulation for aid to SMEs (4). That version limits the tax credit to 50 % of the consultancy costs for the merger and acquisition process. The Italian authorities have indicated that, given this ceiling, the take-up of the measure has been limited, with 132 applications for a total tax credit of EUR 3 442 261. Only 46 applications were accepted for a total amount of tax credit of EUR 415 306.

III. COMMENTS FROM ITALY

(11)	By letter of 30 January 2007, the Italian authorities informed the Commission that the budget for this measure has been used for other purposes and that the notified measure had not been implemented as it had been withdrawn.

IV. ASSESSMENT

(12)	Following the withdrawal of the notification, the procedure no longer has any relevance.

V. CONCLUSION

(13)	The Commission has therefore decided to close the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty on the ground that it no longer has any relevance following the withdrawal of the measure by Italy,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

After the withdrawal by Italy of the notified measure, the present procedure no longer has any relevance. The Commission has therefore decided to close the procedure initiated under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Italy.

approving the systems of automatic suspension of fishing licences in respect of infringements, developed by Denmark, Germany and the United Kingdom

(notified under document number C(2007) 2036)

(Only the Danish, German and English texts are authentic)

(2007/337/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 41/2007 of 21 December 2006 fixing for 2007 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of stocks, applicable in Community waters and for Community vessels in waters where catch limitations are required (1), and in particular point 8.1.(h) of Annex IIA thereto,

Having regard to the requests made by Denmark, Germany and the United Kingdom,

Whereas:
