COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 801/2007

of 6 July 2007

concerning the export for recovery of certain waste listed in Annex III or IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 to certain countries to which the OECD Decision on the control of transboundary movements of wastes does not apply

(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 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste (1), and in particular Article 37(2) thereof,

After consultation of the countries concerned,

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Article 37(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 the Commission has sent a written request to each country to which Decision C(2001)107/Final of the OECD Council concerning the revision of Decision C(92)39/Final on control of transboundary movements of wastes destined for recovery operations does not apply, seeking confirmation in writing that waste which is listed in Annex III or IIIA to that Regulation and the export of which is not prohibited under its Article 36 may be exported from the Community for recovery in that country and requesting an indication as to which control procedure, if any, would be followed in the country of destination.

(2)

In those requests, each country was asked to indicate if it had opted for a prohibition or a procedure of prior written notification and consent, or if it would exercise no control, in respect of such waste.

(3)

The Commission has received replies to its written requests from Algeria, Andorra, Argentina, Botswana, Belarus, Chile, China, China (Hong Kong), Costa Rica, Guyana, India, Liechtenstein, Moldova, Oman, Peru, Philippines, Russian Federation, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam.

(4)

Certain countries have not issued a confirmation in writing that the waste may be exported to them from the Community for recovery. Therefore, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 37(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, those countries are to be regarded as having chosen a procedure of prior written consent.

(5)

The provisions of this Regulation should replace the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1547/1999 of 12 July 1999 determining the control procedures under Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 to apply to shipments of certain types of waste to certain countries to which OECD Decision C(92)39 final does not apply (2). Regulation (EC) No 1547/1999 should therefore be repealed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Export for recovery of waste listed in Annex III or IIIA to Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006, and the export of which is not prohibited under its Article 36, to certain countries to which the OECD Decision does not apply shall be governed by procedures which reflect the choices made by those countries between

(a)

a prohibition,

(b)

a procedure of prior written notification and consent, or

(c)

no control in the country of destination,

as set out in the Annex.

Article 2

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1547/1999 is repealed.

Article 3

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.

COUNCIL DECISION

of 12 June 2007

on the application of the provisions of the Schengen acquis relating to the Schengen Information System in the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, 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

(2007/471/EC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Act concerning the conditions of Accession 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 and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the European Union is founded, (hereinafter the 2003 Act of Accession), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession provides that the provisions of the Schengen acquis other than those mentioned in Annex I to the said Act shall only apply in a new Member State within the meaning of that instrument pursuant to a Council Decision to that effect after verification that the necessary conditions for the application of that acquis have been met.

(2)

The Council has verified whether the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, 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 (hereinafter the Member States concerned) ensure satisfactory levels of data protection through the following steps:

A full questionnaire was forwarded to the Member States concerned, whose replies were recorded, and verification and evaluation visits were made to all the Member States concerned, in accordance with the applicable Schengen evaluation procedures as set out in the Decision of the Executive Committee setting up a Standing Committee on the evaluation and implementation of Schengen (SCH/Com-ex (98) 26 def.) (1), in the area of Data Protection.

(3)

On 5 December 2006, the Council concluded that the conditions in this area had been fulfilled by the Czech Republic, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland and the Republic of Slovenia. On 11 June 2007, the Council concluded that the conditions in this area had been fulfilled by the Republic of Estonia and by the Slovak Republic. It is therefore possible to set a date from which the Schengen acquis relating to the Schengen Information System (SIS) may apply in those Member States.

(4)

The entry into force of this Decision should allow for real SIS data to be transferred to the Member States concerned. The concrete use of this data should allow the Council, through the applicable Schengen evaluation procedures as set out in SCH/Com-ex (98) 26 def., to verify the correct application of the provisions of the Schengen acquis relating to the SIS in the Member States concerned. Once these evaluations have been carried out, the Council should decide on the lifting of checks at the internal borders with the Member States concerned.

(5)

A separate Council Decision should be taken setting a date for the lifting of checks at internal borders. Until the date of the lifting of checks set out in that Decision, certain restrictions on the use of the SIS should be imposed.

(6)

As regards Iceland and Norway, this Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (2) which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point G, of Decision 1999/437/EC (3) on certain arrangements for the application of that Agreement,.

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

1.   The provisions of the Schengen acquis relating to the SIS, as referred to in Annex I, shall apply to the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, 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 amongst themselves and in their relations with the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the Republic of France, the Italian Republic, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Austria, the Portuguese Republic, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden as well as the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway from 1 September 2007.

2.   The provisions of the Schengen acquis relating to the SIS, as referred to in Annex II, shall apply to the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, 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 amongst themselves and in their relations with the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the Republic of France, the Italian Republic, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Austria, the Portuguese Republic, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden as well as the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway from the date foreseen in those provisions.

3.   From 7 July 2007 real SIS data may be transferred to the Member States concerned.

From 1 September 2007, the Member States concerned, like the Member States in respect of which the Schengen acquis has already been implemented, will be able to enter data into the SIS and use SIS data, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4.

4.   Until the date of the lifting of checks at internal borders with the Member States concerned, those Member States:

(a)

shall not be obliged to refuse entry to their territory or to expel nationals of third States for whom an SIS alert has been issued by another Member State for the purposes of refusing entry;

(b)

shall refrain from entering the data covered by the provisions of Article 96 of the Convention of 19 June 1990 implementing the Schengen Agreement of 14 June 1985 between the Governments of the States of Benelux Economic Union, the Federal Republic of Germany and the French Republic on the gradual abolition of checks at their common borders (hereinafter Schengen Convention) (4).

Article 2

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

COUNCIL DECISION

of 25 June 2007

amending the Decision of the Executive Committee set up by the 1990 Schengen Convention, amending the Financial Regulation on the costs of installing and operating the technical support function for the Schengen Information System (C.SIS)

(2007/472/EC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to Article 119 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement of 14 June 1985 between the Governments of the States of the Benelux Economic Union, the Federal Republic of Germany and the French Republic on the gradual abolition of checks at their common borders (the 1990 Schengen Convention),

Whereas:

(1)

Article 119 of the 1990 Schengen Convention provides that the costs arising from the installation and operation of the C.SIS, referred to in Article 92(3) thereof, are to be borne jointly by the Contracting Parties.

(2)

The financial obligations arising from the installation and operation of the C.SIS are regulated by a specific Financial Regulation adopted by the Decision of the Schengen Executive Committee of 15 December 1997 concerning the modification of the C.SIS Financial Regulation (hereinafter the C.SIS Financial Regulation).

(3)

The C.SIS Financial Regulation applies to Denmark, Finland and Sweden, as well as to Iceland and Norway by virtue of Decision 2000/777/EC (1).

(4)

The new Member States, with the exception of Cyprus, are to be integrated into the first generation Schengen Information System (SIS 1+) on a date to be set by the Council in accordance with Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession, within the framework of the SISone4ALL project.

(5)

From that date onwards those Member States should participate in the C.SIS Financial Regulation.

(6)

It is reasonable that those Member States contribute to historical C.SIS costs. However, since they only joined the European Union in 2004, it is considered appropriate that they should contribute to historical costs in relation to the installation of the C.SIS from 1 January 2005. It is also considered reasonable that they contribute to historical operating costs from 1 January 2007.

(7)

As regards Iceland and Norway, this Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (2) which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point G, of Decision 1999/437/EC (3) on certain arrangements for the application of that Agreement.

(8)

As regards Switzerland, this Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement signed between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation concerning the association of the Swiss Confederation with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis which falls within the area referred to in Article 1, point G, of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 4(1) of Decisions 2004/849/EC (4) and 2004/860/EC (5).

(9)

The United Kingdom is taking part in this Decision, in accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and Article 8(2) of Decision 2000/365/EC (6).

(10)

Ireland is taking part in this Decision, in accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and Article 6(2) of Decision 2002/192/EC (7).

(11)

As regards the Republic of Cyprus, this Decision constitutes a provision building on the Schengen acquis or otherwise related to it within the meaning of Article 3(2) of the 2003 Act of Accession.

(12)

This Decision constitutes a provision building on the Schengen acquis or otherwise related to it within the meaning of Article 4(2) of the 2005 Act of Accession,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The following indent shall be added to point 3 of Title I of the C.SIS Financial Regulation:

‘—

in the case of the States which became Members of the European Union in 2004, this amount shall only be calculated on the basis of the costs incurred for the installation of the C.SIS as of 1 January 2005. They shall also contribute to the operating costs of the C.SIS as of 1 January 2007.’

Article 2

This Decision shall take effect from the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 207(3) thereof,

Whereas,

(1)

By its Decision 2003/19/EC of 14 October 2002 on declassifying certain parts of the SIRENE Manual adopted by the Executive Committee established by the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement of 14 June 1985 (1) the Council declassified certain parts of the SIRENE Manual, and downgraded Section 2.3 of the SIRENE Manual as well as Annexes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 to ‘Restreint UE’.

The latest version of the SIRENE Manual, as it appears in Commission Decisions 2006/757/EC (2) and 2006/758/EC (3) of 22 September 2006 on amending the SIRENE Manual does not contain a provision equivalent to Section 2.3 as it stood at the time of the adoption of Decision 2003/19/EC.

(3)

The Council now considers it appropriate to declassify further parts of the SIRENE Manual.

(4)

The classification of Annexes 1, 3, 4 and 6 should remain ‘Restreint UE’,

Article 1

The Annexes 2 and 5 to the SIRENE Manual shall be declassified.

(Only the Portuguese text is authentic)

(2007/474/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 9 of Annex IIB thereto,

Whereas:

(1)

Point 7 of Annex IIB to Regulation (EC) No 41/2007 specifies the maximum number of days on which Community vessels of an overall length equal to or greater than 10 meters carrying on board trawls of mesh sizes equal to or larger than 32 mm, gill nets of mesh size equal to or larger than 60 mm or bottom longlines may be present within ICES Divisions VIIIc and IXa excluding the Gulf of Cadiz as defined in point 1 of Annex IIB from 1 February 2007 to 31 January 2008.

(2)

Point 9 of Annex IIB enables the Commission to allocate an additional number of days at sea on which a vessel may be present within the geographical area when carrying on board such fishing gears, on the basis of permanent cessations of fishing activities that have taken place since 1 January 2004.

(3)

On 10 October 2006, 14 November 2006 and 12 March 2007, Portugal submitted data demonstrating that vessels, which have ceased activities since 1 January 2004 deployed respectively 9,61 % of the fishing effort deployed in 2003 by Portuguese vessels present within the geographical area and carrying on board trawls of mesh size equal to or greater than 32 mm, 6,75 % of the fishing effort deployed in 2003 by Portuguese vessels present within the geographical area and carrying on board gill nets of mesh size equal to or greater than 60 mm and 14,12 % of the fishing effort deployed in 2003 by Portuguese vessels present within the geographical area and carrying on board bottom longlines.

(4)

In view of the data submitted and having regard to the method of calculation laid down in point 9.1 of Annex IIB, 21 additional days at sea for vessels carrying on board gears of groupings 3(a), 15 additional days at sea for vessels carrying on board gears of groupings 3(b), and 30 additional days at sea for vessels carrying on board gears of groupings 3(c) should be allocated to Portugal for the period from 1 February 2007 to 31 January 2008.

(5)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION

Article 1

1.   The maximum number of days on which a fishing vessel flying the flag of Portugal and carrying on board fishing gear, mentioned in points 3(a) of Annex IIB to Regulation (EC) No 41/2007 and not subject to any of the special conditions listed in point 7.1 of that Annex may be present in ICES Divisions VIIIc and IXa excluding the Gulf of Cadiz, as laid down in Table I of that Annex, shall be amended to 237 days per year.
