COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 627/2007
of 6 June 2007
setting the export refunds for nuts (shelled almonds, hazelnuts in shell, shelled hazelnuts and walnuts in shell) using system A1
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 (2) sets detailed rules covering export refunds on fruit and vegetables. |
(2) |
Under Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 refunds can be granted on products exported by the Community, to the extent necessary to enable economically significant quantities to be exported and within the limits ensuing from agreements concluded in line with Article 300 of the Treaty. |
(3) |
In line with Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 care should be taken to ensure that trade flows already engendered by the granting of refunds are not disturbed. For that reason and given the seasonal nature of fruit and vegetable exports quantities should be set product by product using the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). In setting quantities account must be taken of perishability. |
(4) |
Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 stipulates that when refunds are set account is to be taken of the existing situation and outlook for prices and availability of fruit and vegetables on the Community market and for international trade prices, of marketing and transport costs and of the economic aspects of the exportation envisaged. |
(5) |
Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 requires Community market prices to be determined using the prices that are most favourable from the point of view of exportation. |
(6) |
The international trade situation or specific requirements of certain markets may necessitate differentiation of the refund on a given product by destination. |
(7) |
Economically significant exports can at present be made of shelled almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts in shell. |
(8) |
Since nuts have a relatively long storage life export refunds can be set at longer intervals. |
(9) |
In order to permit the best possible use of available resources the export refunds should, given the structure of exportation from the Community, be set using system A1. |
(10) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. Export refund rates for nuts, the period for lodging licence applications and the quantities permitted are stipulated in the Annex hereto.
2. Licences for food aid purposes issued as indicated in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not be counted against the quantities indicated in the Annex hereto.
3. Without prejudice to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001, the type A1 licences shall be valid for three months.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 June 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 628/2007
of 6 June 2007
fixing the A1 and B export refunds for fruit and vegetables (tomatoes, oranges, lemons, table grapes, apples and peaches)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 35(3),
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1961/2001 (2) lays down the detailed rules of application for export refunds on fruit and vegetables. |
(2) |
Article 35(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that, to the extent necessary for economically significant exports, the products exported by the Community may be covered by export refunds, within the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty. |
(3) |
Under Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, care must be taken to ensure that the trade flows previously brought about by the refund scheme are not disrupted. For this reason and because exports of fruit and vegetables are seasonal in nature, the quantities scheduled for each product should be fixed, based on the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). These quantities must be allocated taking account of the perishability of the products concerned. |
(4) |
Article 35(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides that refunds must be fixed in the light of the existing situation or outlook for fruit and vegetable prices on the Community market and supplies available on the one hand, and prices on the international market on the other hand. Account must also be taken of the transport and marketing costs and of the economic aspect of the exports planned. |
(5) |
In accordance with Article 35(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, prices on the Community market are to be established in the light of the most favourable prices from the export standpoint. |
(6) |
The international trade situation or the special requirements of certain markets may call for the refund on a given product to vary according to its destination. |
(7) |
Tomatoes, oranges, lemons, table grapes, apples and peaches of classes Extra, I and II of the common quality standards can currently be exported in economically significant quantities. |
(8) |
In order to ensure the best use of available resources and in view of the structure of Community exports, it is appropriate to fix the A1 and B export refunds. |
(9) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. For system A1, the refund rates, the refund application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto. For system B, the indicative refund rates, the licence application period and the scheduled quantities for the products concerned are fixed in the Annex hereto.
2. The licences issued in respect of food aid as referred to in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not count against the eligible quantities in the Annex hereto.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 June 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 629/2007
of 6 June 2007
setting export refunds in the processed fruit and vegetable sector other than those granted on added sugar (provisionally preserved cherries, peeled tomatoes, sugar-preserved cherries, prepared hazelnuts, certain orange juices)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 16(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1429/95 (2) set implementing rules for export refunds on products processed from fruit and vegetables other than those granted for added sugar. |
(2) |
Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 states that to the extent necessary to permit exportation of economically significant quantities export refunds can be granted on the products listed at Article 1(2)(a) of that Regulation within the limits ensuing from agreements concluded in line with Article 300 of the Treaty. Article 18(4) of that Regulation provides that if the refund on the sugar incorporated in the products listed in Article 1(2)(b) is insufficient to allow exportation of these products the refund set in line with Article 17 thereof shall apply to them. |
(3) |
Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 requires that it be ensured that trade flows that have already arisen as a result of granting of export refunds are not disturbed. For that reason the quantities should be set product by product using the agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds established by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3). |
(4) |
Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 requires that when refunds are set account is taken of the existing situation and outlook for prices and availability on the Community market of products processed from fruit and vegetables and for international trade prices, of marketing and transport costs and of the economic aspects of the exportation envisaged. |
(5) |
Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 requires that when prices on the Community market are determined account is taken of the prices that are most favourable from the point of view of exportation. |
(6) |
The international trade situation or specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to differentiate the refund on a given product by destination. |
(7) |
Economically significant exports can at present be made of provisionally preserved cherries, peeled tomatoes, sugar-preserved cherries, prepared hazelnuts and certain orange juices. |
(8) |
Export refund rates and quantities should therefore be set for these products. |
(9) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. Export refund rates in the processed fruit and vegetable sector, periods for lodging and for issuing licence applications and the quantities permitted are stipulated in the Annex hereto.
2. Licences for food aid purposes issued as indicated in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (4) shall not be counted against the quantities indicated in the Annex hereto.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 June 2007.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 6 June 2007
concerning the non-inclusion of dichlorvos in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance
(notified under document number C(2007) 2338)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2007/387/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (1), and in particular the fourth subparagraph of Article 8(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that a Member State may, during a period of 12 years following the notification of that Directive, authorise the placing on the market of plant protection products containing active substances not listed in Annex I of that Directive that are already on the market two years after the date of notification, while those substances are gradually being examined within the framework of a programme of work. |
(2) |
Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 703/2001 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the second stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC and establish a list of active substances to be assessed with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. That list includes dichlorvos. |
(3) |
For dichlorvos the effects on human health and the environment have been assessed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 and (EC) No 703/2001 for a range of uses proposed by the notifier. Moreover, those Regulations designate the rapporteur Member States which have to submit the relevant assessment reports and recommendations to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EC) No 451/2000. For dichlorvos the rapporteur Member State was Italy and all relevant information was submitted on 20 October 2003. |
(4) |
The assessment report was peer reviewed by the Member States and the EFSA and presented to the Commission on 12 May 2006 in the format of the EFSA conclusion regarding the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance dichlorvos (4). This report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 29 September 2006 in the format of the Commission review report for dichlorvos. |
(5) |
During the evaluation of this active substance, a number of concerns were identified. In particular, based on the available toxicological data and taking into account the uncertainties of the genotoxic and carcinogenic properties of the substance also considering the overall poor quality of the dossier, it has not been demonstrated that the estimated operator, worker and bystander exposure, is acceptable. |
(6) |
The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the results of the peer review and on its intention or not to further support the substance. The notifier submitted its comments which have been carefully examined. However, despite the arguments advanced, the above concerns remained unsolved, and assessments made on the basis of the information submitted and evaluated during the EFSA expert meetings have not demonstrated that it may be expected that, under the proposed conditions of use, plant protection products containing dichlorvos satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC. |
(7) |
Dichlorvos should therefore not be included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC. |
(8) |
Measures should be taken to ensure that authorisations granted for plant protection products containing dichlorvos are withdrawn within a fixed period of time and are not renewed and that no new authorisations for such products are granted. |
(9) |
Any period of grace granted by a Member State for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing dichlorvos, should be limited to twelve months in order to allow existing stocks to be used in one further growing season. |
(10) |
This decision does not prejudice the submission of an application for dichlorvos according to the provisions of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC in view of a possible inclusion in its Annex I. |
(11) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Dichlorvos shall not be included as an active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC.
Article 2
Member States shall ensure that:
(a) |
authorisations for plant protection products containing dichlorvos are withdrawn by 6 December 2007; |
(b) |
no authorisations for plant protection products containing dichlorvos are granted or renewed from the date of publication of this Decision. |
Article 3
Any period of grace granted by Member States in accordance with the provisions of Article 4(6) of Directive 91/414/EEC, shall be as short as possible and shall expire on 6 December 2008 at the latest.
Article 4
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
