COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1274/2009

of 18 December 2009

opening and providing for the administration of import quotas for rice originating in the overseas countries and territories (OCTs)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

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 (1), and in particular the seventh subparagraph of Article 6(5) of Annex III thereto,

Whereas:

(1)

Under Article 6 of Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC, ACP/OCTs cumulation of origin for products falling within tariff heading 1006 is allowed for a total annual quantity of 160 000 tonnes, which include the 125 000 tonnes tariff quota for rice originating in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States provided for in the ACP – EC Partnership Agreement, expressed in husked-rice equivalent. An initial issue of import licences for 35 000 tonnes of rice originating in the overseas countries and territories (hereinafter: OCTs) is made each year and, within this quantity, import licences for 10 000 tonnes are issued for imports originating in the least-developed OCTs listed in Annex IB to that Decision. All other import licences are issued for imports originating in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. These 35 000 tonnes of rice reserved for the OCTs may be increased if the ACP States do not actually use their direct export options under the tariff quota provided for in the Cotonou agreement.

(2)

From 1 January 2008, the trading arrangements of the ACP – EC Partnership Agreement no longer apply and the tariff quota for rice provided for therein is replaced by the preferential arrangements provided for in Article 6 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 of 20 December 2007 applying the arrangements for goods originating in certain states which are part of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements (3). Under Article 3(3)(a) of that Regulation preferential arrangements for the products of tariff heading 1006 originating in certain states which are part of the ACP Group of States provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements, shall continue only until 31 December 2009. As a result, as from 1 January 2010 it is no longer possible to provide for a possible increase of the OCTs quota linked to the use of an ACP quota and consequently the OCTs quotas must be opened on a yearly basis for a quantity limited to 35 000 tonnes.

(3)

Without prejudice to the additional conditions or relevant derogations laid down for the management of those import arrangements, account should be taken of the provisions of the horizontal or sectoral implementing regulations, that is, Commission Regulations (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 (4), (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) and (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 (6).

(4)	To ensure balanced market management, the issue of import licences relating to the above import quotas is to be staggered over the year in several specific subperiods, the period of validity of the licences should be laid down and a maximum quantity per application should be fixed.

(5)

Quantities of rice at stages of processing other than husked rice shall be converted at the rates laid down in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1312/2008 of 19 December 2008 fixing the conversion rates, the processing costs and the value of the by-products for the various stages of rice processing (7). Provision should also be made for the conversion of quantities of broken rice.

(6)	In order to ensure proper administration of the import quotas, a security should be lodged in conjunction with an import licence application at a level commensurate with the risks involved.

(7)	With a view to optimise the use of the quotas in case of application of an allocation coefficient, it is appropriate to establish that the rights deriving from the licences may be transferred to transferees satisfying the eligibility conditions set out in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006.

(8)

According to Article 6 of Annex III to Decision 2001/822/EC, licences not used to import rice originating in the least-developed OCTs listed in Annex IB thereto should be made available for the import of rice originating in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. To this end, it is appropriate to establish that in the September subperiod the quantities not used for the least-developed OCTs can be allocated for the import of rice originating in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.

(9)	In order to ensure proper management of the quotas, it is appropriate to derogate from Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 and adapt the notification obligations provided for in that Article.

(10)

As the import duties on the products of tariff heading 1006 originating in certain states which are part of the ACP Group of States provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements, shall be eliminated as from 1 January 2010, the measures provided for in this Regulation should apply from the same date.

(11)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1529/2007 of 21 December 2007 opening and providing for the administration in 2008 and 2009 of import quotas for rice originating in the ACP States which are part of the Cariforum region and the overseas countries and territories (OCTs) (8) will become obsolete at the end of 2009 quota period. For this reason, it should be repealed.

(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,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Quantities of rice at stages of processing other than husked rice shall be converted at the rates laid down in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1312/2008.

Article 3

1. Sections 7 and 8 of licence applications and licences shall show the country of origin and the mention ‘yes’ shall be marked by a cross. Licences shall give rise to an obligation to import from the specified country.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2493/2001 of 19 December 2001 on the disposal of certain fishery products which have been withdrawn from the market (2) specifies the ways of disposing of the products withdrawn from the market. The value of such products should be fixed at a standard level for each of these modes of disposal, taking into account the average revenues which may be obtained from such disposal in the various Member States.

(3)

Under Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2509/2000 of 15 November 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards granting financial compensation for withdrawals of certain fishery products (3), special rules provide that, where a producer organisation or one of its members puts its products up for sale in a Member State other than the country in which it is recognised, that body responsible for granting the financial compensation must be informed. This body is the one in the Member State in which the producer organisation is recognised. The standard value deductible should therefore be the value applied in that Member State.

(4)	The same method of calculation should be applied to advances on financial compensation as provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2509/2000.

(5)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 2010 fishing year, the standard values to be used in calculating financial compensation and associated advances for fishery products withdrawn from the market by producer organisations and intended for purposes other than human consumption, as referred to in Article 21(5) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

The standard value to be deducted from financial compensation and associated advances shall be that applied in the Member State in which the producer organisation is recognised.

Article 3

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

It shall apply from 1 January 2010.

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

The same holds for products which, by virtue of being either the subject of a binding tariff reduction under the WTO or some other preferential arrangements, must comply with a reference price.

(2)	Pursuant to Article 29(3)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the reference price for the products listed in Annex I, Parts A and B to that Regulation, is to be the same as the withdrawal price fixed in accordance with Article 20(1) of that Regulation.

(3)	The EU withdrawal prices for the products concerned are fixed for the 2010 fishing year by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1277/2009 (2).

(4)

Pursuant to Article 29(3)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, the reference price for products other than those listed in Annexes I and II to that Regulation is to be established in particular on the basis of the weighted average of customs values recorded on the import markets or in the ports of import in the three years immediately preceding the date on which the reference price is fixed.

(5)	There is no need to fix reference prices for those products falling under the criteria laid down in Art. 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 which are imported from third countries in insignificant volumes.

(6)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The reference prices for the 2010 fishing year of fishery products, as referred to in Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1281/2009

of 22 December 2009

fixing the Community selling prices for the fishery products listed in Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 for the 2010 fishing year

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Whereas:

(1)	An EU selling price is to be fixed for each of the products listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 before the beginning of the fishing year, at a level at least equal to 70 % and not exceeding 90 % of the guide price.

(2)	Council Regulation (EC) No 1212/2009 (2) fixes the guide prices for the 2010 fishing year for all the products concerned.

(3)	Market prices vary considerably depending on the species and how the products are presented, particularly in the case of squid and hake.

(4)	Conversion factors should therefore be fixed for the different species and presentations of frozen products landed in the EU in order to determine the price level that trigger the intervention measure provided for in Article 25(2) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000.

(5)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The EU selling prices, as referred to in Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000, applicable during the 2010 fishing year for the products listed in Annex II to that Regulation and the presentations and conversion factors to which they relate are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 1 January 2010.

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

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1282/2009

of 22 December 2009

amending Regulation (EU) No 409/2009 on the establishment of Community conversion factors and presentation codes used to convert fish processed weight into fish live weight

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993, establishing a control system applicable to the Common Fishery Policy (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Commission Regulation (EC) No 409/2009 (2), establishes Community conversion factors and presentation codes for the states of processing ‘fresh’ and ‘fresh salted’.

(2)

Species subject to fishing quotas are landed mainly in the states of processing ‘fresh’, ‘fresh salted’ and ‘frozen’. Consequently there is a need to complement Regulation (EC) No 409/2009 with Community conversion factors for frozen fish, so that Community conversion factors are available for all relevant processing states.

(3)	Commission Regulation (EC) No 1077/2008 (3) lays detailed rules for the implementation of the electronic record and transmission of logbook, landing declaration and transhipment data.

(4)	Regulation (EC) No 409/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(5)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Fisheries and Aquaculture Committee.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 409/2009 is amended as follows:

In Article 3, point (g) is replaced by the following:

‘(g)	“state of processing” means the way the fish is preserved (fresh, fresh salted and frozen).’

2.	In Article 4, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following: ‘1. The Community conversion factors set out in Annexes II, III and IV shall apply to convert fish processed weight into fish live weight.’

In Article 6, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

‘1. The masters of Community fishing vessels shall use the conversion factors referred to in Article 4 in the logbook, as referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 and Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1077/2008 (*1), to:

(a)	estimate the live weight of the quantities onboard the fishing vessel and;

(b)	to calculate the live weight of the quantities upon landing.

(*1) OJ L 295, 4.11.2008, p. 3.’ "

4.	Annex I is replaced by the text in Annex I to this Regulation

5.	The text in Annex II to this Regulation is added as Annex IV

Article 2

Entry into force and application

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from 1 January 2010.

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

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2009/163/EU

of 22 December 2009

amending Directive 94/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on sweeteners for use in foodstuffs with regard to neotame

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives (1), and in particular Article 31 thereof,

After consulting the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA),

Whereas:

(1)	Directive 94/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 1994 on sweeteners for use in foodstuffs (2) lays down a list of sweeteners that may be used in the Union and the conditions for their use.

(2)

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluated the safety of neotame as a sweetener and flavour enhancer and expressed its opinion of 27 September 2007 (3). After considering all the data on stability, degradation products and toxicology, EFSA concluded that neotame is not of safety concern with respect to the proposed uses as a sweetener and flavour enhancer and established an acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0–2 mg/kg bw/day. EFSA also noted that conservative estimates of neotame dietary exposure both in adults and children suggest that it is very unlikely that the ADI would be exceeded at the proposed use levels.

(3)

Neotame is a highly intense sweetener with a sweetness potency ranging from 7 000 to 13 000 times that of sucrose. It may be used as a replacement for sucrose or other sweeteners in a broad range of products. Neotame can be used alone or with other sweeteners. In addition, neotame can modify the flavour of foods and beverages.

(4)

It is necessary to amend the Annex of Directive 94/35/EC to permit the use of neotame in the same food applications as the other currently permitted intense sweeteners. Neotame should be assigned a new E number, namely E 961. In order to facilitate the marketing and use of this new sweetener, it is provided that products which comply with the provisions of this Directive may be marketed from the date of its entry into force.

(5)

In accordance with point 34 of the Interinstitutional agreement on better law-making (4), Member States are encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interests of the Union, their own tables, which will, as far as possible, illustrate the correlation between this Directive and the transposition measures, and to make them public.

(6)	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:

Article 1

The Annex to Directive 94/35/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

Article 2

1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 12 October 2010 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.

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.

2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2009/164/EU

of 22 December 2009

amending, for the purpose of adaptation to technical progress, Annexes II and III to Council Directive 76/768/EEC concerning cosmetic products

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,

After consulting the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety,

Whereas:

(1)

The substance Verbena oil (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) is currently banned for use in cosmetic products, being listed in Annex II to Directive 76/768/EEC, under reference number 450. The ban of this substance was introduced on the basis of an opinion of May 2000 of the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products intended for Consumers (SCCNFP), subsequently replaced by the ‘Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP)’ by Commission Decision 2004/210/EC (2), and later by the ‘Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS)’ by Commission Decision 2008/721/EC (3). The SCCNFP recommended the prohibition of Verbena (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) essential oils and derivatives, e.g. concrete and absolute, when used as a fragrance ingredient, based on the sensitising potential.

(2)

However, the SCCNFP later concluded in an opinion issued in 2001 that Verbena absolute obtained from Lippia citriodora Kunth. should not be used such that the level in the finished cosmetic products exceeds 0,2 %. It is therefore appropriate to include Verbena absolute (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) together with its respective restriction in Annex III, Part 1 to Directive 76/768/EEC. It is also appropriate to amend reference number 450 of Annex II in order to specify that the substances Verbena essential oils (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) and derivatives other than absolute are prohibited when used as a fragrance ingredient.

(3)

Directive 2008/42/EC of 3 April 2008 amending Council Directive 76/768/EEC, concerning cosmetic products, for the purpose of adapting Annexes II and III thereto to technical progress (4) included several allyl esters containing allyl alcohol as impurity in Annex III, Part 1 to Directive 76/768/EEC. The substance allyl phenethyl ether may contain allyl alcohol as impurity as well. For this substance, the SCCNFP issued an opinion in 2000 recommending an upper limit of 0,1 % of allyl alcohol as impurity.

(4)	In the light of the SCCNFP opinion, as well as for consistency reasons, it is appropriate to include in Annex III, Part 1 to Directive 76/768/EEC the substance allyl phenethyl ether together with its respective restriction.

(5)	The group of substances Terpene terpenoids sinpine is currently regulated under reference number 130 in Annex III, Part 1 to Directive 76/768/EEC. However, the word ‘sinpine’ is a trade name and should therefore be deleted from the designation of that group of substances.

(6)	Directive 76/768/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)	In view of a smooth transition from existing formulae of cosmetic products to formulae which comply with the requirements laid down in this Directive, it is necessary to provide for appropriate transitional periods.

(8)	The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Annexes II and III to Directive 76/768/EEC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

Article 2

Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that, as from 15 February 2011, no cosmetic products which fail to comply with this Directive are placed on the market by Union manufacturers or by importers established within the Union.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 22 December 2009

on adopting, pursuant to Council Directive 92/43/EEC, a second updated list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region

(notified under document C(2009) 10414)

(2009/1001/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (1) and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 4(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

The Macaronesian biogeographical region referred to in Article 1(c)(iii) of Directive 92/43/EEC, comprises the archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira (Portugal) and the Canary Islands (Spain) in the Atlantic ocean, as specified in the biogeographical map approved on 25 April 2005 by the Committee set up by Article 20 of that Directive, hereinafter the ‘Habitats Committee’.

(2)	It is necessary in the context of a process which was initiated in 1995 to make further progress in the actual establishment of the Natura 2000 network, which is an essential element of the protection of biodiversity in the Community.

(3)

The initial list and the first updated list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region, within the meaning of Directive 92/43/EEC were adopted by Commission Decisions 2002/11/EC (2) and 2008/95/EC (3). On the basis of Articles 4(4) and 6(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC, the Member State concerned shall designate the sites included in the list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region as special areas of conservation as soon as possible and within six years at most, establishing conservation priorities and the necessary conservation measures.

(4)	In the context of a dynamic adaptation of the Natura 2000 network, the lists of sites of Community importance are reviewed. A second update of the Macaronesian list is therefore necessary.

(5)

On the one hand, the second update of the list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region is necessary in order to include additional sites that have been proposed since 2006 by the Member States as sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region within the meaning of Article 1 of Directive 92/43/EEC. The obligations resulting from Articles 4(4) and 6(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC are applicable as soon as possible and within six years at most from the adoption of the second updated list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region.

(6)

On the other hand, the second update of the list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region is necessary in order to reflect any changes in site related information submitted by the Member States following the adoption of the initial and the first updated Community lists. In that sense, the second updated list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region constitutes a consolidated version of the list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region. However, it should be stressed that the obligations resulting from Articles 4(4) and 6(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC are applicable as soon as possible and within six years at most from the adoption of the initial or the first updated lists of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region, depending on which list a site of Community importance was included as such for the first time.

(7)

For the Macaronesian biogeographical region, lists of sites proposed as sites of Community importance within the meaning of Article 1 of Directive 92/43/EEC have been transmitted to the Commission between November 1997 and October 2008 by the Member States concerned in accordance with Article 4(1) of that Directive.

(8)	The lists of proposed sites were accompanied by information on each site, supplied in the format established by Commission Decision 97/266/EC of 18 December 1996 concerning a site information format for proposed Natura 2000 sites (4).

(9)	That information includes the most recent and definitive map of the site transmitted by the Member States concerned, name, location and extent of the site, and the data yielded by application of the criteria specified in Annex III to Directive 92/43/EEC.

(10)

On the basis of the draft list drawn up by the Commission in agreement with each of the Member States concerned, which also identifies sites hosting priority natural habitat types or priority species, a second updated list of sites selected as sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region should be adopted.

(11)

Knowledge of the existence and distribution of the natural habitat types and species is constantly evolving, as a result of the surveillance in accordance with Article 11 of Directive 92/43/EEC. Therefore, the evaluation and selection of sites at Community level was done using the best available information at present,

(12)

Certain Member States have not proposed sufficient sites to meet the requirements of Directive 92/43/EEC for certain habitat types and species. For those habitat types and species it can therefore not be concluded that the Natura 2000 network is complete. Taking into account the delay in receiving the information and reaching agreement with the Member States, it is necessary to adopt a second updated list of sites, which will need to be revised in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 92/43/EEC.

(13)

Given that knowledge on the existence and distribution of some of the natural habitat types of Annex I and species of Annex II to Directive 92/43/EEC remains incomplete, it should not be concluded that the Natura 2000 network is either complete or incomplete. The list should be revised, if necessary, in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 92/43/EEC.

(14)	In the interests of clarity and transparency Decision 2008/95/EC should be replaced.

(15)	The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Habitats Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The second updated list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 4(2) of Directive 92/43/EEC is set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

Decision 2008/95/EC is repealed.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
