an annual amount for access to the EEZ of São Tomé and Príncipe of EUR 455 000, equivalent to a reference tonnage of 7 000 tonnes per year; and

(b)

a specific amount of EUR 227 500 per year to support the implementation of the sectoral fisheries policy of São Tomé and Príncipe.

the objectives, both annual and multiannual, to be achieved with a view to introducing, over time, responsible and sustainable fishing, taking account of the priorities expressed by São Tomé and Príncipe in its national fisheries policy or other policies relating to or having an impact on the introduction of responsible and sustainable fishing;

(c)

criteria and procedures for evaluating the results obtained each year.

2.   Any proposed amendments to the multiannual sectoral programme must be approved by both Parties within the Joint Committee.

Article 5

Adjustment of fishing opportunities by mutual agreement

In this case, the financial contribution referred to in Article 2(2)(a) shall be adjusted proportionately and pro rata temporis. However, the total annual amount of the financial contribution paid by the European Union shall not be more than twice the amount referred to in Article 2(2)(a).

Article 6

New fishing opportunities

1.   Should European Union vessels be interested in fishing activities which are not indicated in Article 1, the Parties shall consult each other before any authorisation is granted by the São Toméan authorities.

ANNEX

CONDITIONS GOVERNING FISHING ACTIVITIES BY EUROPEAN UNION VESSELS IN SÃO TOMÉ AND PRÍNCIPE’S FISHING ZONE

CHAPTER I

APPLICATION AND ISSUE FORMALITIES FOR FISHING AUTHORISATIONS

SECTION 1

Issue of fishing authorisations

1.   Only eligible vessels may obtain an authorisation (licence) to fish in São Tomé and Príncipe’s fishing zone.

2.   For a vessel to be eligible, neither the owner, the skipper nor the vessel itself must be prohibited from fishing in São Tomé and Príncipe. They must be in order vis-à-vis the São Toméan authorities insofar as they must have fulfilled all prior obligations arising from their fishing activities in São Tomé and Príncipe under fisheries agreements concluded with the European Union. Furthermore, they must comply with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1006/2008 (1) on fishing authorisations.

3.   Any European Union vessel applying for a fishing authorisation must be represented by an agent resident in São Tomé and Príncipe. The name and address of that representative shall be stated in the fishing authorisation application.

4.   The relevant European Union authorities shall submit (by electronic means) to the Ministry responsible for fisheries in São Tomé and Príncipe an application for each vessel wishing to fish under the Fisheries Partnership Agreement at least fifteen (15) working days before the date of commencement of the period of validity requested. Unless otherwise agreed in the Joint Committee, the competent European Union authority for the purposes of applying this Annex is the European Union Delegation to Gabon.

5.   Applications shall be submitted to the Ministry responsible for fisheries on a form drawn up in accordance with the specimen in Appendix 1. The São Toméan authorities shall take all the necessary steps to ensure that the data received as part of the application for a fishing authorisation are treated as confidential. These data shall be used exclusively in the context of the implementation of the Fisheries Partnership Agreement.

6.   All fishing authorisation applications shall be accompanied by the following documents:

—

proof of payment of the flat-rate advance for the period of validity of the authorisation,

—

any other documents or certificates required under the specific rules applicable to the type of vessel concerned pursuant to this Protocol.

7.   The fee shall be paid into the account specified by the São Toméan authorities in accordance with Article 2(8) of the Protocol.

8.   The fees shall include all national and local charges, with the exception of port taxes and service charges.

9.   Fishing authorisations for all vessels shall be issued to shipowners or their representatives via the European Union Delegation to Gabon within 15 working days of receipt of all the documents referred to in point 6 by the Ministry responsible for fisheries in São Tomé and Príncipe.

10.   If a fishing authorisation is signed at a time when the European Union Delegation offices are closed, it shall be sent directly to the vessel’s agent and a copy shall be sent to the Delegation.

11.   Fishing authorisations shall be issued for a given vessel and shall not be transferable.

12.   However, at the request of the European Union and where force majeure is proven, a vessel’s fishing authorisation shall be replaced by a new fishing authorisation for another vessel of the same category as the first vessel, as referred to in Article 1 of the Protocol, with no further fee due. In this case, the calculation of the catch levels to determine whether an additional payment should be made shall take account of the sum of the total catches of the two vessels.

13.   The owner of the first vessel, or his or her representative, shall return the cancelled fishing authorisation to the Ministry responsible for fisheries in São Tomé and Príncipe via the European Union Delegation to Gabon.

14.   The new fishing authorisation shall take effect on the day on which the cancelled fishing authorisation is returned to the Ministry responsible for fisheries in São Tomé and Príncipe. The European Union Delegation to Gabon shall be informed of the transfer of the fishing authorisation.

15.   The fishing authorisation must be kept on board at all times.

SECTION 2

Fishing authorisation conditions — Fees and advance payments

1.   Fishing authorisations shall be valid for a period of one year.

2.   The fee for tuna seiners and surface longliners shall be set at EUR 35 per tonne caught within São Tomé and Príncipe’s fishing zone.

3.   Fishing authorisations shall be issued once the following standard fees have been paid to the competent national authorities:

—

EUR 6 125 per tuna seiner, equivalent to the fees due for 175 tonnes per year,

—

EUR 2 275 per surface longliner, equivalent to the fees due for 65 tonnes per year.

4.   The final statement of the fees due for year n shall be drawn up by the European Commission no later than sixty (60) days after the anniversary date of the Protocol in year n + 1 on the basis of the catch declarations made by each shipowner and confirmed by the scientific institutes responsible for verifying catch data in the Member States, such as the IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement), IEO (Instituto Español de Oceanografía) and IPIMAR (Instituto Português de Investigação Marítima), via the European Union Delegation to Gabon.

5.   This statement shall be sent simultaneously to the Ministry responsible for fisheries in São Tomé and Príncipe and to the shipowners.

6.   Any additional payments (for quantities caught in excess of 175 tonnes for tuna seiners and 65 tonnes for longliners) shall be made by the shipowners to the competent São Toméan national authorities no later than three (3) months after the anniversary date of the Protocol in the year n + 1, into the account referred to in point 7 of Section 1 of this Chapter, on the basis of EUR 35 per tonne.

7.   However, if the amount of the final statement is lower than the advance referred to in point 3 of this Section, the resulting balance shall not be reimbursable to the shipowner.

CHAPTER II

FISHING ZONES

1.   European Union vessels operating in São Toméan waters under this Protocol may carry out their fishing activities in waters beyond 12 nautical miles from the base lines in the case of tuna seiners and surface longliners.

2.   The coordinates of São Tomé and Príncipe’s Exclusive Economic Zone are given in Appendix 3.

3.   Without exception, all fishing activity in the zone intended for joint exploitation by São Tomé and Príncipe and Nigeria, delimited by the coordinates set out in Appendix 3, shall be prohibited.

CHAPTER III

MONITORING AND SURVEILLANCE

SECTION 1

System for recording catches

1.   The skippers of all vessels operating in São Toméan waters under this Protocol shall be required to notify their catches to the Ministry responsible for fisheries in São Tomé and Príncipe, so as to allow monitoring of the quantities caught, which shall be validated by the competent scientific institutes in accordance with the procedure referred to in point 5 of Section 2 of Chapter I of this Annex. Catches shall be notified as follows:

1.1.

EU vessels operating in São Toméan waters under this Protocol shall fill out the logbook (Appendix 2) on daily basis for each trip in those waters. The logbook must still be filled in if there are no catches.

1.2.

The skippers of the vessels shall send copies of the logbook to the Ministry responsible for fisheries in São Tomé and Príncipe and to the scientific institutes specified in point 4 of Section 2 of Chapter I.

2.   The words ‘Outside São Tomé and Príncipe’s EEZ’ shall be entered in the logbook in respect of periods during which the vessel was not in São Toméan waters.

3.   The forms shall be filled in legibly and signed by the skipper of the vessel or by his or her legal representative.

4.   Where the provisions set out in this Chapter are not complied with, the Government of São Tomé and Príncipe shall suspend the fishing authorisation of the offending vessel until formalities have been completed and impose on the shipowner the penalty laid down in current São Toméan legislation. The European Commission and the flag Member State shall immediately be informed thereof.

5.   Declarations shall include the catches made by the vessel during each trip. They shall be transmitted to the Ministry responsible for fisheries in São Tomé and Príncipe by electronic means, with a copy to the European Commission, at the end of each trip and, in all cases, before the vessel leaves São Toméan waters. Electronic receipts shall be sent at once to the vessel by both addressees, with a copy to the other.

6.   The original of the declarations relating to the annual period of validity of the fishing authorisation, within the meaning of point 1 of Section 2 of Chapter I of this Annex, shall be transmitted on a physical medium to the Ministry responsible for fisheries in São Tomé and Príncipe within 45 days of the end of the last trip made during the said period. Hard copies shall be sent to the European Commission at the same time.

7.   The two Parties undertake to make every effort to establish and bring into operation a system for reporting catches based exclusively on the electronic exchange of all data: the two Parties shall thus plan the rapid replacement of the paper version of catch reporting with an electronic version.

8.   Once the electronic catch reporting system has been set up and in the event of a technical fault in this system, catch reports shall be made in accordance with points 5 and 6 above until the system is working again.

SECTION 2

Reporting of catches: entering and leaving São Toméan waters

1.   For the purposes of this Annex, the duration of a trip by a European Union vessel operating in São Toméan waters under this Protocol shall be defined as follows:

—

the period elapsing between entering and leaving São Tomé and Príncipe’s fishing zone, or

—

the period elapsing between entering São Tomé and Príncipe’s fishing zone and a transhipment in São Toméan waters, or

—

the period elapsing between entering São Toméan waters and a landing in São Tomé and Príncipe.

2.   European Union vessels operating in São Toméan waters under this Protocol shall notify the competent São Toméan authorities, at least three (3) hours in advance, of their intention to enter or leave São Toméan waters.

3.   When notifying entry into/exit from São Tomé and Príncipe’s EEZ, vessels shall, at the same time, also communicate their position and the catch already held on board, without prejudice to Section 2. This information shall be communicated by e-mail or fax to the addresses and in the format set out in Appendix 4. However, the competent São Toméan authorities may waive this requirement for surface longliners that do not have the technical communication equipment referred to above and may authorise them to transmit this information by radio. The information should preferably be communicated by e-mail (dpescas1@cstome.net) or fax (+ 239 2222828) or, failing that, by radio (call sign: 12,00 Hz from 8.00 to 10.00, and 8,634 Hz from 14.00 to 17.00).

4.   Vessels found to be fishing without having informed the competent São Toméan authorities shall be regarded as vessels without a fishing authorisation and shall be subject to the consequences provided for under national law.

5.   Vessels shall also be informed of the e-mail address, fax and telephone numbers and radio coordinates when the fishing authorisation is issued.

SECTION 3

Transhipments

1.   All European Union vessels operating in São Toméan waters under this Protocol which tranship catches in São Toméan waters shall do so off São Toméan ports.

1.1.

The owners of such vessels must notify the following information to the competent São Toméan authorities at least 24 hours in advance:

—

the names of the transhipping fishing vessels,

—

the names of the cargo vessels,

—

the tonnage by species to be transhipped, indicating the catch zone,

—

the day of transhipment,

—

the beneficiary of the catches transhipped.

2.   Transhipment is authorised only in the following areas: Fernão Dias, Neves and Ana Chaves.

3.   Transhipment shall be considered as an exit from São Toméan waters. Vessels must submit their catch declarations to the competent São Toméan authorities and state whether they intend to continue fishing or to leave São Toméan waters.

4.   Any transhipment of catches not covered above shall be prohibited in São Toméan waters. Any person infringing this provision shall be liable to the penalties provided for by São Toméan law.

SECTION 4

Satellite monitoring

European Union vessels operating under this Protocol must be monitored, inter alia, by the satellite-based monitoring system, without discrimination, in accordance with the following provisions.

1.

For the purposes of satellite monitoring, the São Toméan authorities shall communicate the geographical positions of the limits of the São Toméan fishing zone to the representatives or agents of the shipowners and to the Control Centres of the flag States.

2.

Using the model provided in Appendix 4, the Parties shall exchange information on https addresses and the specifications for electronic data transmission between their Control Centres in accordance with points 4 and 6. Such information shall include the following where they exist: names, telephone, telex and fax numbers and e-mail addresses which may be used for general communications between Control Centres.

3.

The position of vessels shall be determined with a margin of error of less than 500 metres and a confidence interval of 99 %.

4.

When a European Union vessel which is operating in São Toméan waters under this Protocol and is the subject of satellite monitoring pursuant to European Union legislation enters São Tomé and Príncipe’s fishing zone, the subsequent position reports shall immediately be transmitted by the Control Centre of the flag State to São Tomé and Príncipe’s Fisheries Monitoring Centre at intervals of no more than 2 hours. The messages concerned shall be identified as position reports.

5.

The messages referred to in point 4 shall be transmitted electronically in https format, without any further protocol. They shall be communicated in real time in the format set out in the table in Appendix 4.

5.1.

It is prohibited for vessels to turn off the satellite monitoring equipment when they are operating in São Toméan waters.

6.

Where the continuous satellite monitoring equipment installed on board a fishing vessel develops a technical fault or breaks down, the skipper of the vessel shall transmit the information specified in point 4 to the Control Centre of the flag State in good time. In such circumstances, it will be necessary to send a position report every 24 hours while the vessel is in São Toméan waters.

6.1.

This global position report shall include the hourly positions as recorded by the skipper of that vessel during those 24 hours.

6.2.

The Control Centre of the flag State or the vessel itself must forward these messages to São Tomé and Príncipe’s Fisheries Monitoring Centre without delay.

6.3.

In case of need or doubt, the competent São Toméan authorities may request additional information from the Control Centre of the flag State about a particular vessel.

7.

The defective equipment shall be repaired or replaced as soon as the vessel completes its fishing trip and, in any case, within one month at the latest. After this deadline, the vessel in question may not undertake any further fishing trips until the equipment has been repaired or replaced.

8.

The satellite monitoring system’s software and hardware components shall be tamper-proof, i.e. they must not permit the input or output of false positions or be capable of being manipulated. The system shall be fully automatic and operational at all times regardless of environmental conditions. Destroying, damaging, rendering inoperative or tampering with the satellite monitoring system shall be prohibited.

8.1.

The skipper of the vessel must ensure in particular that:

data are not altered in any way,

—

the antenna or antennas connected to the satellite monitoring equipment are not obstructed in any way,

—

the power supply of the satellite monitoring equipment is not interrupted in any way,

—

the vessel tracking device is not removed from the vessel or from the place where it was originally installed,

—

any replacement of the vessel tracking device shall immediately be notified to the competent São Toméan authorities.

8.2.

Any violation of the above-mentioned requirements may make the skipper and the shipowner liable under the laws and regulations of São Tomé and Príncipe, provided that the vessel is operating in São Toméan waters.

9.

The Control Centres of the flag States shall monitor the movements of their vessels in São Toméan waters. If the vessels are not being monitored in accordance with the conditions laid down, São Tomé and Príncipe’s Fisheries Monitoring Centre shall be informed immediately and the procedure laid down in point 6 shall apply.

10.

The Control Centres of the flag States and São Tomé and Príncipe’s Fisheries Monitoring Centre must cooperate to ensure the implementation of these provisions. If São Tomé and Príncipe’s Fisheries Monitoring Centre establishes that a flag State is not transmitting the data in accordance with point 4, the other Party must be informed immediately. Upon receipt of notification, the latter must respond within 24 hours by informing São Tomé and Príncipe’s Fisheries Monitoring Centre of the reasons for non-transmission and stating a reasonable deadline for complying with these provisions. If these provisions are not complied with within the time limit set, the two Parties shall resolve the dispute in writing or as provided for in point 14 below.

11.

The monitoring data communicated to the other Party in accordance with these provisions shall be intended solely for the purposes of the São Toméan authorities in controlling and monitoring the European Union fleet fishing under the Fisheries Partnership Agreement. Such data may not, under any circumstances, be communicated to third parties.

12.

The Parties agree to exchange, upon request, information on the equipment used for satellite monitoring, in order to ensure that each piece of equipment is fully compatible with the requirements of the other Party for the purposes of these provisions.

13.

The Parties agree to review these provisions where appropriate, in particular in the event of a malfunction or anomaly relating to the vessels. These cases should be notified by the competent São Toméan authority to the flag State at least 15 days before the review meeting.

14.

Any dispute over the interpretation or application of these provisions shall be the subject of consultation between the Parties within the Joint Committee provided for in Article 9 of the Fisheries Partnership Agreement.

CHAPTER IV

EMBARKING SEAMEN

1.   Owners of tuna vessels and surface longliners shall employ ACP nationals, subject to the following conditions and limits:

—

for the fleet of tuna seiners, at least 20 % of the seamen signed on during the tuna-fishing season in the fishing zone of the third country shall be of São Toméan or possibly ACP origin,

—

for the fleet of surface longliners, at least 20 % of the seamen signed on during the fishing season in the fishing zone of the third country shall be of São Toméan or possibly ACP origin.

2.   Shipowners shall endeavour to sign on additional seamen of São Toméan origin.

3.   Shipowners shall be free to select the seamen they take on board their vessels from the names on a list of able and qualified seamen available from the São Toméan agents.

4.   The shipowner or his or her representative shall inform the competent São Toméan authorities of the names of the seamen taken on board the vessel concerned, mentioning their position in the crew.

5.   The International Labour Organisation (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work shall apply as of right to seamen signed on by European Union vessels. This concerns in particular the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining, and the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.

6.   The employment contracts of São Toméan and ACP seamen, a copy of which shall be given to the Ministry of Labour, the Ministry of Fisheries and the signatories of the contracts, shall be drawn up between the shipowners’ representative(s) and the seamen and/or their trade unions or representatives. These contracts shall guarantee the seamen the social security cover applicable to them, in accordance with the applicable legislation, including life assurance and sickness and accident insurance.

7.   The wages of the seamen shall be paid by the shipowners. They shall be fixed by mutual agreement between the shipowners or their representatives and the seamen and/or their trade unions or representatives. However, the wage conditions granted to the seamen shall not be lower than those applied to crews from their respective countries and shall, under no circumstances, be below ILO standards.

8.   All seamen employed aboard European Union vessels shall report to the skipper of the vessel designated on the day before their proposed embarkation date. Where a seaman fails to report at the date and time agreed for embarkation, shipowners shall be automatically absolved of their obligation to take the seaman on board.

9.   Where no São Toméan or ACP seamen are taken on board for reasons other than that referred to in the previous point, shipowners shall be required to pay, for each day of the fishing trip in São Toméan waters, a flat-rate amount of EUR 20 per day and per vessel. The payment of this amount shall take place within the time limits laid down in point 4 of Section 2 of Chapter I of this Annex.

10.   This sum shall be used for training ACP deep-sea fishermen and shall be paid into the account specified by the São Toméan authorities.

CHAPTER V

OBSERVERS

1.   European Union vessels operating in São Toméan waters under this Protocol shall take on board observers appointed by the Ministry responsible for fisheries in São Tomé and Príncipe on the terms set out below:

1.1.

At the request of the competent São Toméan authorities, European Union vessels shall take on board an observer designated by the former to check catches made in São Toméan waters.

1.2.

The competent São Toméan authority shall draw up a list of vessels designated to take an observer on board and a list of the appointed observers. These lists shall be kept up to date. They shall be forwarded to the European Commission as soon as they have been drawn up and every three months thereafter where they have been updated.

1.3.

The competent São Toméan authorities shall inform the shipowners concerned, or their representatives, of the name of the observer appointed to be taken on board their vessel at the time the fishing authorisation is issued, or no later than 15 days before the observer’s planned embarkation date.

2.   The time spent on board by observers shall be one fishing trip. However, at the express request of the competent São Toméan authorities, this embarkation may be spread over several trips, depending on the average trip duration for a particular vessel. This request shall be made by the competent authority when the name of the observer appointed to board the vessel in question is notified.

3.   The conditions under which observers are taken on board shall be agreed between shipowners or their representatives and the competent authority.

4.   Observers shall embark and disembark at a port chosen by the shipowner. Embarkation shall take place at the beginning of the first voyage in São Toméan waters after notification of the list of designated vessels.

5.   Within two weeks and giving 10 days’ notice, the shipowners concerned shall make known at which ports in the subregion and on what dates they intend to embark and disembark the observers.

6.   Where observers are taken on board in a country other than São Tomé and Príncipe, their travel costs shall be borne by the shipowner. Should a vessel with an observer on board leave São Tomé and Príncipe’s fishing zone, all measures must be taken to ensure the observer’s return to São Tomé and Príncipe as soon as possible at the expense of the shipowner.

7.   If the observer is not present at the time and place agreed or within the 12 hours following the time agreed, shipowners shall be automatically absolved of their obligation to take the observer on board.

8.   Observers shall be treated as officers. When the vessel is operating in São Toméan waters, they shall carry out the following tasks:

8.1.

observe the fishing activities of the vessels;

8.2.

verify the position of vessels engaged in fishing operations;

8.3.

note the fishing gear used;

8.4.

verify the catch data for São Toméan waters recorded in the logbook;

8.5.

verify the percentages of by-catches and estimate the quantity of discards of species of marketable fish;

8.6.

report fishing data, including the quantity of catches and by-catches on board, to their competent authority by any appropriate means.

9.   Skippers shall do everything in their power to ensure the physical safety and welfare of observers during performance of their duties.

10.   Observers shall be offered every facility needed to carry out their duties. Skippers shall give them access to the means of communication needed for the discharge of their duties, to documents directly concerned with the vessel’s fishing activities, including in particular the logbook and the navigation log, and to those parts of the vessel necessary to facilitate the exercise of their tasks.

11.   While on board, observers shall:

11.1.

take all appropriate steps to ensure that the conditions of their boarding and presence on the vessel neither interrupt nor hamper fishing operations;

11.2.

respect the material and equipment on board and the confidentiality of all documents belonging to the vessel.

12.   At the end of the observation period and before leaving the vessel, observers shall draw up an activity report to be transmitted to the competent São Toméan authorities, with a copy to the European Commission. They shall sign it in the presence of the skipper, who may add or cause to be added to it any observations considered relevant, followed by the skipper’s signature. A copy of the report shall be handed to the skipper when the observer is put ashore.

13.   Shipowners shall bear the cost of providing board and accommodation for observers in the same conditions as for officers, within the confines of the practical possibilities offered by the vessel.

14.   The salary and social contributions of the observer shall be borne by São Tomé and Príncipe.

CHAPTER VI

MONITORING

European fishing vessels shall comply with the measures and recommendations adopted by ICCAT with regard to fishing gear and the technical specifications thereof and all other technical measures applicable to their fishing activities.

1.   List of vessels

1.1.

The European Union shall keep an up-to-date draft list of the vessels to which a fishing authorisation (fishing licence) has been issued under this Protocol. This list shall be notified to the São Toméan authorities responsible for fisheries inspection as soon as it is drawn up and each time it is updated.

2.   Monitoring procedures

2.1.

Skippers of authorised European Union vessels engaged in fishing activities in São Toméan waters shall allow and facilitate boarding and the discharge of their duties by São Toméan officials responsible for the inspection and control of fishing activities.

2.2.

These officials shall remain on board only as long as is necessary for the discharge of their duties.

2.3.

Once the inspection and monitoring has been completed, a copy of the inspection report shall be provided to the skipper of the vessel and to the European Commission Delegation to Gabon.

2.4.

In order to facilitate safe inspection procedures and without prejudice to São Toméan legislation, monitoring must be carried out in such a way that the inspection platforms and the inspectors are identified as officers authorised by São Tomé and Príncipe.

2.5.

Skippers of European Union vessels engaged in transhipment operations in the zones of São Tomé and Príncipe referred to in point 2 of Section 3 of Chapter III shall allow and facilitate the inspection of such operations by São Toméan inspectors.

CHAPTER VII

INFRINGEMENTS

1.1.

The competent São Toméan authorities shall inform the flag State and the European Commission, within a maximum of 24 hours, of any inspection that revealed an infringement by a European Union vessel.

1.2.

The flag State and the European Commission shall, at the same time, receive a brief report of the circumstances and reasons that led to the finding.

2.   Statement of inspection

2.1.

After the competent São Toméan authorities have drawn up a statement, the skipper of the vessel shall sign it.

2.2.

This signature shall not prejudice the rights of the skipper or any defence which the skipper may make against the presumed infringement.

2.3.

The skipper shall take the vessel to the port indicated by the São Toméan authorities. In the case of minor infringements, the competent São Toméan authorities may authorise the boarded vessel to continue fishing.

3.   Consultation meeting in the event of infringement

3.1.

Before any measures regarding the skipper or the crew of the vessel or any action regarding the cargo and equipment of the vessel are considered, other than those to safeguard evidence relating to the presumed infringement, a consultation meeting shall be held, within one working day of the receipt of the above information, between the European Commission and the competent São Toméan authorities, possibly attended by a representative of the Member State concerned.

3.2.

At the meeting, the Parties shall exchange any relevant documentation or information helping to clarify the circumstances of the findings. The shipowner or his or her representative shall be informed of the outcome of the meeting and of any measures resulting from the boarding.

4.   Settlement of boarding

4.1.

Before any judicial proceedings, with the exception of cases under criminal law, an attempt shall be made to resolve the presumed infringement by means of an amicable settlement. This procedure shall end no later than three working days after the boarding.

4.2.

In the event of an amicable settlement, the amount of the fine shall be determined in accordance with São Toméan legislation.

4.3.

If the case cannot be settled by amicable procedure and has to be brought before a competent judicial body, a bank security set to take account of the boarding costs andthe fines and compensation payable by the parties responsible for the infringement shall be lodged by the shipowner with a bank specified by the competent São Toméan authorities.

4.4.

The bank security shall be irrevocable until the legal proceedings have been concluded. It shall be released once legal proceedings end without a conviction. Similarly, in the event of a conviction leading to a fine of less than the security lodged, the balance shall be released by the competent São Toméan authorities.

4.5.

The vessel shall be released and its crew authorised to leave the port:

—

once the obligations arising under the amicable settlement have been fulfilled, or

—

when the bank security referred to in point 4.3 has been lodged and accepted by the competent São Toméan authorities, pending completion of the legal proceedings.

Europäisch-Iranische Handelsbank (EIH)

Head Office: Depenau 2, D-20095 Hamburg; Kish branch, Sanaee Avenue, PO Box 79415/148, Kish Island 79415

Tehran branch, No. 1655/1, Valiasr Avenue, PO Box 19656 43 511, Tehran, Iran

EIH has played a key role in assisting a number of Iranian banks with alternative options for completing transactions disrupted by EU sanctions targeting Iran. EIH has been noted acting as the advising bank and intermediary bank in transactions with designated Iranian entities.

For example, EIH froze the accounts of EU-designated bank Saderat Iran and Bank Mellat located at EIH Hamburg in early August 2010. Shortly afterwards, EIH resumed Euro-denominated business with Bank Mellat and Bank Saderat Iran using EIH accounts with a non-designated Iranian bank. In August 2010, EIH was setting up a system to enable routine payments to be made to Bank Saderat London and Future Bank Bahrain, in such a way as to avoid EU sanctions. As of October 2010, EIH was continuing to act as a conduit for payments by sanctioned Iranian banks, including Bank Mellat and Bank Saderat.

These sanctioned banks are to direct their payments to EIH via Iran's Bank of Industry and Mine. In 2009, EIH was used by Post Bank in a sanctions evasion scheme which involved handling transactions on behalf of UN-designated Bank Sepah. EU-designated Bank Mellat is one of EIH's parent banks.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 506/2011

of 23 May 2011

amending Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 imposing special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station

(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 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53 (1) (b)(ii) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 provides for the possibility to adopt appropriate Union emergency measures for food and feed imported from a third country in order to protect public health, animal health or the environment, where the risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member States individually.

(2)

Following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station on 11 March 2011, the Commission was informed that radionuclide levels in certain food products originating in Japan such as milk and spinach exceeded the action levels in food applicable in Japan. Such contamination may constitute a threat to public and animal health within the Union and therefore Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 imposing special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station (2) was adopted on 25 March 2011.

(3)

On 12 May 2011, the Commission was informed of the finding of a high level of the radioactive caesium in green tea leaves, originating in the prefecture Kanagawa. This finding was confirmed on 13 May 2011 by three other findings of high level of the radioactive caesium in green tea leaves from this prefecture. This prefecture is not among the 12 prefectures of the affected zone, where a testing of all feed and food originating from these prefectures is required before export to the EU. Given these recent findings it is appropriate to add Kanagawa as 13th prefecture to the affected zone.

(4)

It is appropriate to clarify the requirements for products consigned from the affected zone but originating in a region outside the affected zone.

(5)

It is therefore appropriate to amend Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 accordingly.

(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

Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 is amended as follows

(1)

Article 2, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:

‘3.   Each consignment of the products referred to in Article 1, which leaves Japan from the date of entry into force of this Regulation, shall be accompanied by a declaration, attesting that

—

the product has been harvested and/or processed before 11 March 2011, or

—

the product is originating in and consigned from a prefecture other than Fukushima, Gunma, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Miyagi, Yamagata, Niigata, Nagano, Yamanashi, Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba and Kanagawa, or

—

the product is consigned from the prefectures Fukushima, Gunma, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Miyagi, Yamagata, Niigata, Nagano, Yamanashi, Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba and Kanagawa, but not originating in one of these prefectures and has not been exposed to radioactivity during transiting, or

—

in case the product is originating in the prefectures Fukushima, Gunma, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Miyagi, Yamagata, Niigata, Nagano, Yamanashi, Saitama, Tokyo, Chiba and Kanagawa, the product does not contain levels of the radionuclides iodine-131, caesium-134 and caesium-137 above the maximum levels provided for in Annex II to this Regulation. This provision applies also to products originating in the coastal waters of these prefectures, irrespective of where such products are landed.’

(2)

Article 5, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

‘1.   The competent authorities of the BIP or DPE shall carry out documentary and identity checks on all consignments of products referred to in Article 1 within the scope of the present Regulation, and physical checks, including laboratory analysis on the presence of iodine-131, caesium-134 and caesium-137, on at least 10 % of such consignments of the products referred to in Article 2 (3), 4th indent and on at least 20 % of such consignments of the products referred to in Article 2 (3) 2nd and 3rd indent.’

(3)

In Article 9, the second sub paragraph, the date of 30 June 2011 is replaced by 30 September 2011.

(4)

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

Article 2

Entry into force

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE 2011/60/EU

of 23 May 2011

amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC to include tebufenozide as active substance and amending Commission Decision 2008/934/EC

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

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 Article 6(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Regulations (EC) No 451/2000 (2) and (EC) No 1490/2002 (3) lay down the detailed rules for the implementation of the third 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 included tebufenozide.

(2)

In accordance with Article 11e of Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002 the notifier withdrew its support of the inclusion of that active substance in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC within 2 months from receipt of the draft assessment report. Consequently, Commission Decision 2008/934/EC of 5 December 2008 concerning the non-inclusion of certain active substances in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing these substances (4) was adopted on the non-inclusion of tebufenozide.

(3)

Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC the original notifier (hereinafter ‘the applicant’) submitted a new application requesting the accelerated procedure to be applied, as provided for in Articles 14 to 19 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 of 17 January 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Directive 91/414/EEC as regards a regular and an accelerated procedure for the assessment of active substances which were part of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of that Directive but have not been included into its Annex I (5).

(4)

The application was submitted to Germany, which had been designated rapporteur Member State by Regulation (EC) No 1490/2002. The time period for the accelerated procedure was respected. The specification of the active substance and the supported uses are the same as were the subject of Decision 2008/934/EC. That application also complies with the remaining substantive and procedural requirements of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008.

(5)

Germany evaluated the additional data submitted by the applicant and prepared an additional report. It communicated that report to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and to the Commission on 23 November 2009. The Authority communicated the additional report to the other Member States and the applicant for comments and forwarded the comments it had received to the Commission. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 33/2008 and at the request of the Commission, the Authority presented its conclusion on tebufenozide to the Commission on 19 October 2010 (6). The draft assessment report, the additional report and the conclusion of the Authority were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health and finalised on 11 March 2011 in the format of the Commission review report for tebufenozide.

(6)

It has appeared from the various examinations made that plant protection products containing tebufenozide may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular with regard to the uses which have been examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to include tebufenozide in Annex I, in order to ensure that in all Member States the authorisations of plant protection products containing this active substance can be granted in accordance with the provisions of that Directive.

(7)

Without prejudice to that conclusion, it is appropriate to obtain further information on certain specific points. Article 6(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC provides that inclusion of a substance in Annex I may be subject to conditions. Therefore, it is appropriate to require that the applicant submit confirmatory information as regards the relevance of metabolites RH-6595 (7), RH-2651 (8), M2 (9), the degradation of tebufenozide in soils of alkaline pH and the risk to Lepidoptera non-target insects.

(8)

A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is included in Annex I in order to permit Member States and the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements which will result from the inclusion.

(9)

Without prejudice to the obligations defined by Directive 91/414/EEC as a consequence of including an active substance in Annex I, Member States should be allowed a period of 6 months after inclusion to review existing authorisations of plant protection products containing tebufenozide to ensure that the requirements laid down by Directive 91/414/EEC, in particular in its Article 13 and the relevant conditions set out in Annex I, are satisfied. Member States should vary, replace or withdraw, as appropriate, existing authorisations, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. By derogation from the above deadline, a longer period should be provided for the submission and assessment of the complete Annex III dossier of each plant protection product for each intended use in accordance with the uniform principles laid down in Directive 91/414/EEC.

(10)

The experience gained from previous inclusions in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC of active substances assessed in the framework of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3600/92 of 11 December 1992 laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of the first stage of the programme of work referred to in Article 8(2) of Council Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market (10) has shown that difficulties can arise in interpreting the duties of holders of existing authorisations in relation to access to data. In order to avoid further difficulties it therefore appears necessary to clarify the duties of the Member States, especially the duty to verify that the holder of an authorisation demonstrates access to a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive. However, this clarification does not impose any new obligations on Member States or holders of authorisations compared to the directives which have been adopted until now amending Annex I.

(11)

It is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 91/414/EEC accordingly.

(12)

Decision 2008/934/EC provides for the non-inclusion of tebufenozide and the withdrawal of authorisations for plant protection products containing that substance by 31 December 2011. It is necessary to delete the line concerning tebufenozide in the Annex to that Decision.

(13)

It is therefore appropriate to amend Decision 2008/934/EC accordingly.

(14)

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

Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.

Article 2

The line concerning tebufenozide in the Annex to Decision 2008/934/EC is deleted.

Article 3

They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.

They shall apply those provisions from 1 December 2011.

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.

Article 4

1.   Member States shall in accordance with Directive 91/414/EEC, where necessary, amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing tebufenozide as an active substance by 30 November 2011.

By that date they shall in particular verify that the conditions in Annex I to that Directive relating to tebufenozide are met, with the exception of those identified in part B of the entry concerning that active substance, and that the holder of the authorisation has, or has access to, a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex II to that Directive in accordance with the conditions of Article 13 of that Directive.

2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for each authorised plant protection product containing tebufenozide as either the only active substance or as one of several active substances all of which were listed in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC by 31 May 2011 at the latest, Member States shall re-evaluate the product in accordance with the uniform principles provided for in Annex VI to Directive 91/414/EEC, on the basis of a dossier satisfying the requirements of Annex III to that Directive and taking into account part B of the entry in Annex I to that Directive concerning tebufenozide. On the basis of that evaluation, they shall determine whether the product satisfies the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of Directive 91/414/EEC.

Following that determination Member States shall:

(a)

in the case of a product containing tebufenozide as the only active substance, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 at the latest; or

(b)

in the case of a product containing tebufenozide as one of several active substances, where necessary, amend or withdraw the authorisation by 31 May 2015 or by the date fixed for such an amendment or withdrawal in the respective directive or directives which added the relevant substance or substances to Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, whichever is the latest.

Article 5

This Directive shall enter into force on 1 June 2011.

Tehran branch, No. 1655/1, Valiasr Avenue, PO Box 19656 43 511, Tehran, Iran

EIH has played a key role in assisting a number of Iranian banks with alternative options for completing transactions disrupted by EU sanctions targeting Iran. EIH has been noted acting as the advising bank and intermediary bank in transactions with designated Iranian entities.

For example, EIH froze the accounts of EU-designated bank Saderat Iran and Bank Mellat located at EIH Hamburg in early August 2010. Shortly afterwards, EIH resumed Euro-denominated business with Bank Mellat and Bank Saderat Iran using EIH accounts with a non-designated Iranian bank. In August 2010, EIH was setting up a system to enable routine payments to be made to Bank Saderat London and Future Bank Bahrain, in such a way as to avoid EU sanctions.

As of October 2010, EIH was continuing to act as a conduit for payments by sanctioned Iranian banks, including Bank Mellat and Bank Saderat. These sanctioned banks are to direct their payments to EIH via Iran's Bank of Industry and Mine. In 2009, EIH was used by Post Bank in a sanctions evasion scheme which involved handling transactions on behalf of UN-designated Bank Sepah. EU-designated Bank Mellat is one of EIH's parent banks.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 20 May 2011

authorising methods for grading pig carcasses in the Netherlands

(notified under document C(2011) 3427)

(Only the Dutch text is authentic)

(2011/303/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(m), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Point 1 of Section B.IV of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that, for the classification of pig carcasses, the lean-meat content has to be assessed by means of grading methods authorised by the Commission, which methods may only be statistically proven assessment methods based on the physical measurement of one or more anatomical parts of the pig carcass. The authorisation of grading methods is subject to compliance with a maximum tolerance for statistical error in assessment. That tolerance is defined in Article 23(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 of 10 December 2008 laying down detailed rules on the implementation of the Community scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and the reporting of prices thereof (2).

(2)

By Decision 2005/627/EC (3), the Commission authorised the use of two methods for grading pig carcasses in the Netherlands.

(3)

Due to technical adaptations and the fact that a change in the Dutch pig population is foreseen as castrated males are expected to be absent in the near future, the Netherlands has requested the Commission to authorise three methods for grading pig carcasses on its territory and has presented a detailed description of the dissection trial, indicating the principles on which those methods are based, the results of its dissection trial and the equations used for assessing the percentage of lean meat in the protocol provided for in Article 23(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008.

(4)

Examination of that request has revealed that the conditions for authorising those grading methods are fulfilled. Those grading methods should therefore be authorised in the Netherlands.

(5)

Modifications of the apparatus or grading methods should not be allowed, unless they are explicitly authorised by Commission Decision.

(6)

For reasons of clarity and legal certainty, Decision 2005/627/EC should be repealed.

(7)

In view of the technical circumstances while introducing new devices and new equations, the methods for grading pig carcasses authorised under this Decision should apply from 3 October 2011.

(8)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The use of the following methods is hereby authorised for grading pig carcasses pursuant to point 1 of Section B.IV of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in the Netherlands:

—

the Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP 7) apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 1 of the Annex,

—

the Capteur Gras/Maigre — Sydel (CGM) apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 2 of the Annex,

—

the CSB Image-Meater (CSB) apparatus and the assessment methods related thereto, details of which are given in Part 3 of the Annex.

Article 2

Modifications of the authorised apparatus or assessment methods shall not be allowed, unless those modifications are explicitly authorised by Commission Decision.

Article 3

Decision 2005/627/EC is repealed.

Article 4

This Decision shall apply from 3 October 2011.

Article 5

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

ANNEX

METHODS FOR GRADING PIG CARCASSES IN THE NETHERLANDS

PART 1

Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP 7)

1.

The rules provided for in this Part shall apply when the grading of pig carcasses is carried out by means of the apparatus known as ‘Hennessy Grading Probe (HGP 7)’.

2.

The apparatus shall be equipped with a probe of 5,95 mm diameter (and have abutting 6,3 mm of blade on either side of the probe at its head) containing a photodiode (Siemens LED of the type LYU 260-EO and photodetector of the type 58 MR) and having an operating distance of between 0 and 120 mm. The results of the measurements shall be converted into estimated lean-meat content by means of the HGP 7 itself as well as a computer linked to it.

3.

The lean-meat content of the carcass shall be calculated according to the following formula:

LMP = 65,92 – 0,6337 * Fat + 0,0446 * Muscle

where:

LMP

=

the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass,

Fat

=

the HGP7 fat depth measurement (including rind) in millimetres, as measured at the third to fourth rib from last rib position, 6 centimetres from the dorsal midline,

Muscle

=

the HGP7 muscle depth measurement (including rind) in millimetres, as measured at the same time and in the same place as Fat.

This formula shall be valid for carcasses weighing between 73,5 and 107,5 kilograms.

PART 2

Capteur Gras/Maigre — Sydel (CGM)

1.

The rules provided for in this Part shall apply when the grading of pig carcasses is carried out by means of the apparatus known as ‘Capteur Gras/Maigre — Sydel (CGM)’.

2.

The apparatus shall be equipped with a high-definition Sydel probe 8 mm in diameter, a light-emitting infra-red diode (Honeywell) and two light sensors (Honeywell). The operating distance shall be between 0 and 95 mm.

The results of the measurements shall be converted into estimated lean-meat content by the CGM itself.

3.

The lean-meat content of carcasses shall be calculated using the following formula:

LMP = 66,86 – 0,6549 * Fat + 0,0207 * Muscle

where:

LMP

=

the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass,

Fat

=

the CGM fat depth measurement (including rind) in millimetres, as measured at the third to fourth rib from last rib position, 6 centimetres from the dorsal midline,

Muscle

=

the CGM muscle depth measurement (including rind) in millimetres, as measured at the same time and in the same place as Fat.

This formula shall be valid for carcasses weighing between 73,5 and 107,5 kilograms.

PART 3

CSB Image-Meater (CSB)

1.

The rules provided for in this Part shall apply when the grading of pig carcasses is carried out by means of the apparatus known as ‘CSB Image-Meater (CSB)’.

2.

The CSB Image-Meater consists in particular of a video camera, a PC equipped with an image-analysis card, a screen, a printer, a command mechanism, a rate mechanism and interfaces. The Image-Meater variables (16) are all measured at the split line in the ham area (around M. gluteus medius):

The results of the measurements shall be converted into estimates of the percentage of lean meat by using a computer.

3.

The lean-meat content of carcasses shall be calculated according to the following formula:

LMP = 65,2212 – 0,2741 S + 0,0160 F – 0,0302 ML – 0,2648 MS + 0,0831 MF – 0,1002 WL – 0,0509 WaS + 0,0172 WaF – 0,0169 WbS + 0,0006 WbF + 0,0341 WcS – 0,0097 WcF + 0,0223 WdS – 0,0008 WdF + 0,0132 ES – 0,0124 IS,

where the 16 objective CSB measurements, taken at the split line, are:

LMP

=

the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass,

S

=

fat depth, minimal fat depth over muscle gluteus medius (mm),

F

=

muscle depth, minimal muscle depth between anterior extremity of muscle gluteus medius and the dorsal part of the medullar canal (mm),

ML

=

length of muscle gluteus medius (mm),

MS

=

mean bacon width below muscle gluteus medius (mm),

MF

=

mean lean-meat width below muscle gluteus medius (mm),

WL

=

mean length of vertebrae including spinal discs (mm),

Wa,b,c,dS

=

mean bacon width below 1st measured vertebra (a) and three other vertebrae (b, c, d) (mm),

Wa,b,c,dF

=

mean lean-meat width below 1st measured vertebra (a), and three other vertebrae (b, c, d) (mm),

ES

=

mean external bacon width above the four measured vertebrae (mm),

IS

=

mean internal bacon width above the four measured vertebrae (mm).

4.

The measuring points are described in Part II of the Protocol presented to the Commission by the Netherlands in accordance with Article 23(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008.

This formula shall be valid for carcasses weighing between 73,5 and 107,5 kilograms.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (2) (the ‘extending Regulation’), extending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 (3) on bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People’s Republic of China, and levying the extended duty on such imports registered under Regulation (EC) No 703/96,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 of 20 January 1997 on the authorisation of the exemption of imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People’s Republic of China from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 (4) (the ‘exemption Regulation’), and in particular Article 7 thereof,

After consulting the Advisory Committee,

Whereas:

(1)

After the entry into force of the exemption Regulation, a number of bicycle assemblers submitted requests pursuant to Article 3 of that Regulation for exemption from the anti-dumping duty as extended to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People’s Republic of China by Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (the ‘extended anti-dumping duty’). The Commission has published in the Official Journal successive lists of bicycle assemblers (5) for which the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty in respect of their imports of essential bicycle parts declared for free circulation was suspended pursuant to Article 5(1) of the exemption Regulation.

(2)

Following the last publication of the list of parties under examination (6), a main period of examination has been selected. This period was defined as from 1 January 2010 to 31 August 2010. Further information from the years 2008 and 2009 were also requested. A questionnaire was sent to all parties which were to be evaluated, requesting information on the assembly operations conducted during the relevant period of examination.

(3)

The Commission was also informed of the liquidation of two companies which were exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty on bicycle parts. Furthermore, a further company failed to comply with the conditions of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97. For these companies the exemption will be revoked.

A.   REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION FOR WHICH SUSPENSION WAS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED

A.1.   Acceptable requests for exemption

(4)

The Commission received from the parties listed in table 1 below all the information required for the determination of the admissibility of their requests. These parties had already received their suspension with effect from the day of arrival of a first complete application dossier at the Commission’s premises. The newly requested and provided information was examined and verified, where necessary, at the premises of the parties concerned. Based on this information, the Commission found that the requests submitted by the parties listed in table 1 below are admissible pursuant to Article 4(1) of the exemption Regulation.

(5)

The facts as finally ascertained by the Commission show that for all of these applicants’ bicycle assembly operations, the value of the parts originating in the People’s Republic of China which were used in their assembly operations was lower than 60 % of the total value of the parts used in these assembly operations, and they, therefore, fall outside the scope of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation.

(6)

For this reason, and in accordance with Article 7(1) of the exemption Regulation, the parties listed in the above table should be exempt from the extended anti-dumping duty.

(7)

In accordance with Article 7(2) of the exemption Regulation, the exemption of the parties listed in table 1 from the extended anti-dumping duty should take effect as from the date of receipt of their requests. In addition, their customs debt in respect of the extended anti-dumping duty is to be considered void as from the date of receipt of their requests for exemption.

(8)

The company Sintema Sport S.R.L. informed the Commission that the postal code of the company will change in April 2011 from 20042 to 20847 due to the change of district of Albiate from Milan district to Monza district.

A.2.   Unacceptable requests for exemption

The parties listed in table 2 below also submitted a request for exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty.

Two parties did not use bicycle parts subject to anti-dumping duty in their assembly operation during the examination period. One party informed the Commission that they do not need the exemption in the future. Two parties did not submit a questionnaire reply and claimed that they had not used bicycle parts subject to anti-dumping duty in their assembly operation. One party is in liquidation.

(11)

Since the parties listed in table 2 failed to meet the criteria for exemption, the Commission has to reject their request for exemption, in accordance with Article 7(3) of the exemption Regulation. In the light of this, the suspension of the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty referred to in Article 5 of the exemption Regulation must be lifted and the extended anti-dumping duty must be collected as from the date of receipt of the request submitted by this party.

A.3   Revocations

For the parties listed in table 3 below the exemption is to be revoked.

These parties were exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty on bicycle parts. The Commission was informed now that one of these parties has already been liquidated and one party is in liquidation. Evidence available to the Commission has shown that another company stopped its assembly operations and resold the imported parts to a not exempted party. Although those imports fall outside the scope of the exemption scheme, the company continued to declare those imports under it. Due to the fact that it has no own assembly operation, the company does not fulfil its obligations under Article 8 of the exemption Regulation, i.e. it does not ensure that its assembly operation remains outside the scope of Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 and no conclusive records can be provided showing the use made of the deliveries received. Consequently, the exemption has to be revoked in accordance with Article 10 of the exemption Regulation.

B.   REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION FOR WHICH SUSPENSION WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY GRANTED

(14)

Interested parties are hereby informed of the receipt of further requests for exemption, pursuant to Article 3 of the exemption Regulation, from parties listed in table 3. The suspension from the extended duty, following these requests, should take effect as shown in the column headed ‘Date of effect’:

The company Code X Sp. z o.o. received its suspension on 22 January 2010. In the meantime the company changed its legal seat from ul. Krolewska nr 16, 00-103 Warszawa to Olszanka 109, 33-386 Podegrodzie. This change of legal seat does not affect the initial request for suspension. The company JET’LEAN received its suspension on 18 February 2010. In the meantime the legal name of JET’LEAN was changed into JETLANE. This change of name does not affect the initial request for suspension. The company Müller GmbH received its suspension on 30 March 2010. The additional TARIC code A977 initially given to the company Müller GmbH was erroneously attributed twice and was withdrawn. As of 3 June 2010 the company Müller GmbH received the additional TARIC code A978. This change of code does not affect the initial request for suspension.

(16)

All companies listed in tables 1 – 4 above were informed and given the opportunity to comment. It was found that contrary to the original information at the Commission’s disposal company IMACycles Bicicletas e Motociclos Lda was not in fact in liquidation. Consequently, the exemption for that company will not be revoked and the name of the company was removed from table 3. None of the other comments received were such as to alter the conclusions set out in this Decision,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The parties listed below in table 1 are hereby exempt from the extension to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People’s Republic of China by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the definitive anti-dumping duty on bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93, last amended and maintained by Regulation (EC) No 1095/2005.
