of 27 August 2004

amending Regulation (EC) No 1639/2001 establishing the minimum and extended Community programmes for the collection of data in the fisheries sector and laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000 of 29 June 2000 establishing a Community framework for the collection and management of the data needed to conduct the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Articles 5(1) and 8(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Whenever an on-board sampling scheme is established within the respective national programmes, access to vessels should be guaranteed for sampling purposes. Therefore, on-board observers should be accepted on any vessel in order to avoid biased estimates.

(2)

There is a need to assure a better sampling of stocks under recovery plans and deep-sea species, to obtain a better knowledge of these particular stocks.

(3)

The analysis of Member States’ reports on catch per unit of effort (hereinafter referred to as CPUE) data collected from 1995 to 2000, carried out together with the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (hereinafter referred to as the STECF), provides a basis on which to lay down the eligible CPUE data series to be collected in the future.

(4)

Based on the acquired experience during the first year of data collection in 2002 and taking into consideration the STECF advice, technical modifications are needed to the detailed guidelines for data collection laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1639/2001 (2), and in particular to the names of the stocks and the sampling approach for length and age sampling strategies.

(5)

Regulation (EC) No 1639/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 1639/2001 is amended as follows:

1.

Article 3 is amended as follows:

(a)

in the first paragraph, point (c) is replaced by the following:

‘(c)

in the event of sampling, a detailed description of the strategies followed and the statistical estimates used making it possible to appreciate the levels of precision and relationship between the cost and precision; this description shall also include estimates of levels of precision of the estimated parameter; these estimates shall be included in the final report, in a format established by the Commission, after having consulted the STECF.’;

(b)

the second paragraph is deleted;

(c)

the following point is added:

‘(e)

in the event of sampling, the procedures set within the national programmes shall ensure the collection of the required data by duly appointed observers and the acceptance on board and cooperation with such observers by masters of fishing vessels, in accordance with Article 22(1)(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 (3).

2.

The Annex is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.

3.

The Appendices are amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.

Article 2

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

ANNEX I

The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1639/2001 is amended as follows:

1.

In Chapter I, Section B, the following point is added:

‘5.

With regard to the data collection of stocks subject to a recovery plan pursuant to a Council Regulation, sampling requirements for the extended programme shall become mandatory under the minimum programme for the year following the Regulation’s adoption and during the applicable period of the recovery plan. The same shall apply to surveys where the main objective stock is subject to a recovery plan.’

2.

In Chapter III, Section F is replaced by the following:

‘F.

Collection of data concerning the catches per unit of effort and/or effective effort of specific commercial fleets

The following series are required:

1.

At the minimum programme level, data shall only contain data series for catches and effort for:

fleets which have been used at any time from 1995 onwards in stock assessments, either analytical and/or production models,

stocks where there is no stock assessment and where CPUE data series were the only way to estimate trends in the stocks abundance at any time from 1995 onwards,

fisheries for which there are regional fisheries organisation (hereinafter referred to as RFO) obligations.

Stock definitions shall correspond with the ones defined by RFOs, and the sampling strategies shall include, as a minimum, the corresponding strata.

Member States shall provide a thorough description of the way in which the abundance index for each stock has been calculated.

2.

At the extended programme level, data series for catches and effort for:

fleets which have not yet been used in stock assessments but where stock assessments are expected to be conducted in the future e.g. in the Mediterranean area and for deep-sea resources,

fleets where data collection started in recent years and until these data series are used in stock assessments (such data series may be transferred to the minimum programmes only if they are used in the stock assessment procedures),

fleets for which CPUE data series are collected but the data are presently only used for biological purposes (length and age composition, maturity data).

Stock definitions should follow the ones defined by RFOs, and the sampling strategies shall include, as a minimum, the respective strata.

Member States shall provide a thorough description of the way in which the abundance index for each stock has been calculated.’

3.

In Chapter III, Section H is amended as follows:

(a)

paragraph 1 is amended as follows:

(i)

points (a) and (b) are replaced by the following:

‘(a)

Parameters:

Biological sampling must be performed in order to evaluate the composition in length and, where appropriate, in age of the landings for all the stocks specified as mandatory in Appendix XV.

(b)

Disaggregation and precision levels:

(i)

for stocks under recovery plans Member States shall apply a sampling strategy, achieving a precision level 2 for the length and, where appropriate, age composition of landings;

(ii)

for other stocks Member States shall apply a sampling strategy, achieving a precision level 1 for the length and, where appropriate, age composition of landings.

However, if this approach cannot be achieved, Member States may apply an alternative methodology for which the required disaggregation levels are specified in Appendix XV.’

(ii)

in point (d), first indent, subparagraph 3 is replaced by the following:

‘3.

for the stocks in the Mediterranean area, the landings by weight of a Mediterranean Member State for a species corresponding to less than 10 % of the total EU landings of that species, taken in the Mediterranean area, or to less than 200 tonnes, are exempted. This derogation shall not apply for blue fin tuna.’

(iii)

in point (d), second indent, subparagraph 3 is replaced by the following:

‘3.

for the stocks in the Mediterranean area, the landings by weight of a Mediterranean Member State for a species corresponding to less than 10 % of the total EU landings of that species, taken in the Mediterranean area, or to less than 200 tonnes, are exempted. This derogation shall not apply to blue fin tuna.’

(iv)

point (e) is replaced by the following:

‘(e)

Discards:

Discards shall be the subject of an annual estimation of the distribution of the lengths by type of fishing technique when:

discard data is used in stock assessment working groups,

discards represent either more than 10 % of the total catches by weight, or more than 20 % of the catches in numbers for the stocks for which yearly discard data must be collected, as specified in Appendix XII.

The sampling intensities are those as defined in Appendix XV for commercial landings.

When discards take place for length ranges which are not represented in the landings, age-reading shall take place in accordance with the rules set out in in Appendix XV.

However, if Member States cannot reach this level of precision or only at excessive cost, they may obtain a derogation from the Commission provided that this request is fully documented.’

(b)

paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:

‘2.

Extended programme:

(a)

Complementary parameters:

Biological sampling shall be performed in order to evaluate the composition in length and, where appropriate, in age of the landings for all the stocks specified as optional in Appendix XV.

(b)

Disaggregation and precision levels:

Member States shall apply a sampling strategy, achieving a precision level 1 for the length and, where appropriate, age composition of landings.

However, if this approach cannot be achieved, Member States may apply an alternative methodology for which the required disaggregation levels are specified in Appendix XV.

(c)

Discards:

The sampling programme for the estimation of the annual composition in lengths of the discards for optional stocks specified in Appendix XV.’

(1)  This segment is aggregated for all passive gears.

Note 1: If a gear category contains less than 10 vessels, then the cell can be merged with a neighbouring length category to be specified in the national programme.

Note 2: If a vessel spends more than 50 % of its time using a specific type of fishing technique, it should be included in the corresponding segment.

Note 3: Length is defined as length over all (LOA).’

(2)  A fishing day is to be considered as targeting one specific species, if the percentage of this species in total daily catch is higher than threshold 1.

(3)  A fishing day is to be considered as affecting significantly a species, if the percentage of the particular species is higher than threshold 2.’

(4)  Each present species in a particular area should be considered separately.’

of 8 September 2004

initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1470/2001 on imports of integrated electronic compact fluorescent lamps (CFL-i) originating in the People’s Republic of China by imports of integrated electronic compact fluorescent lamps (CFL-i) consigned from Vietnam, Pakistan or the Philippines, whether declared as originating in Vietnam, Pakistan or the Philippines or not, and making such imports subject to registration

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 13(3) and Article 14(3) and (5) thereof,

After having consulted the Advisory Committee,

Whereas:

A.   REQUEST

B.   PRODUCT

C.   EXISTING MEASURES

D.   GROUNDS

The evidence submitted is as follows:

 

The request shows a significant change in the pattern of trade, as imports of the products under investigation have increased substantially, whereas imports of the product concerned originating in the People’s Republic of China have decreased following the imposition of measures, and that there is insufficient due cause or justification other than the imposition of the duty for such a change.

 

This change in the pattern of trade appears to stem from the transhipment of CFL-i originating in the People’s Republic of China via Vietnam, Pakistan or the Philippines and/or assembly in Vietnam, Pakistan or the Philippines of CFL-i.

 

Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on imports of the product concerned originating in the People’s Republic of China are being undermined in terms of quantity and prices. Significant volumes of imports of CFL-i from Vietnam, Pakistan and the Philippines appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned originating in the People’s Republic of China.

 

Finally, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of the product under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for CFL-i originating in the People’s Republic of China.

E.   PROCEDURE

(a)   Questionnaires

(b)   Collection of information and holding of hearings

(c)   Exemption of registration of imports or measures

F.   REGISTRATION

G   TIME LIMITS

In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:

interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,

producers in Vietnam, Pakistan and the Philippines may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,

interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.

H.   NON-COOPERATION

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

An investigation is hereby initiated pursuant to Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, in order to determine if imports into the Community of electronic compact fluorescent discharge lamps with one or more glass tubes, with all lighting elements and electronic components fixed to the lamp foot or integrated in the lamp foot, falling within CN code ex 8539 31 90 (TARIC code 85393190*91), consigned from Vietnam, Pakistan or the Philippines, whether declared as originating in Vietnam, Pakistan or the Philippines or not, are circumventing the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1470/2001 on imports of integrated electronic compact fluorescent lamps (CFL-i) originating in the People’s Republic of China.

For the purpose of this Regulation, electronic compact fluorescent discharge lamps shall consist of one or more glass tubes, with all lighting elements and electronic components fixed to the lamp foot or integrated in the lamp foot. They are designed to replace normal incandescent lamps and fit into the same sockets as the incandescent lamps and are produced in different types, depending on, inter alia, the lifetime, the wattage and the cover of the lamp.

Article 2

The Customs authorities are hereby directed, pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, to take the appropriate steps to register the imports into the Community identified in Article 1 of this Regulation.

Registration shall expire nine months following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

The Commission, by regulation, may direct Customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Community of products exported by exporters having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found not to be circumventing the anti-dumping duties.

Article 3

1.   Questionnaires should be requested from the Commission within 15 days from publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union.

2.   If their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, interested parties must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 40 days from the date of the publication of this Regulation in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

3.   Producers in Vietnam, Pakistan and the Philippines requesting exemption from registration of imports or measures should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the same 40-day time limit.

4.   Interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 40-day time limit.

5.   Any information relating to the matter, any request for a hearing or for a questionnaire as well as any request for exemption must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified), must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone, fax and/or telex numbers of the interested party. All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis shall be labelled as ‘Limited’ (3) and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of the basic Regulation, shall be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which will be labelled ‘For inspection by interested parties’.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1584/2004

of 9 September 2004

fixing the representative prices and the additional import duties for molasses in the sugar sector applicable from 10 September 2004

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sugar (1), and in particular Article 24(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1422/95 of 23 June 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for imports of molasses in the sugar sector and amending Regulation (EEC) No 785/68 (2), stipulates that the cif import price for molasses established in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 785/68 (3), is to be considered the representative price.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1585/2004

of 9 September 2004

fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.

(2)

Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account.

(3)

The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content.

(4)

In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments.

(5)

The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period.

(6)

The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary.

(7)

The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial.

(8)

To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation.

(9)

In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts.

(10)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 10 September 2004.

DECISION No 1/2004 OF THE ACP-EC COUNCIL OF MINISTERS

of 6 May 2004

on the use of the reserve of the long-term development envelope as well as resources from the Investment Facility of the ninth European Development Fund for the establishment of an ACP-EU Water Facility

(2004/632/EC)

THE ACP-EC COUNCIL OF MINISTERS,

Having regard to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (the Agreement) (1), and in particular paragraph 8 of its Annex I,

Whereas:

(1)

At its 2571st session on 22 March 2004 the EU Council of Ministers agreed on the establishment of a Water Facility for ACP countries and agreed to consider an amount of EUR 500 million out of the conditional EUR 1 billion under the 9th European Development Fund (EDF) for this Water Facility. It also agreed to release immediately a first allocation of EUR 250 million from the conditional EUR 1 billion and to decide by March 2005 on the mobilisation of a second allocation of EUR 250 million and on the use of the remaining EUR 500 million of the conditional EUR 1 billion. The first allocation of EUR 250 million is distributed as follows over the envelopes referred to in paragraph 3 of the 9th EDF Financial Protocol: EUR 185 million to the envelope for support for long-term development, EUR 24 million to the envelope for regional cooperation and integration and EUR 41 million to the Investment Facility.

(2)

The Commission notified to the ACP Council of Ministers the increase of the 9th EDF intra-ACP allocation by EUR 24 million and proposed that these resources be used for a contribution to an ACP-EU Water Facility.

(3)

To ensure support for the implementation of the EU Water Initiative in ACP countries, it is appropriate to allocate resources to intra-ACP cooperation for a total amount of EUR 500 million, of which a first allocation of EUR 250 million can be made available from the resources released by the EU Council of Ministers. However, the envelope for regional cooperation and integration as defined in paragraph 3(b) of Annex I (Financial Protocol) to the Agreement is exhausted. The necessary resources must therefore be transferred from unallocated resources of the 9th EDF long-term development envelope and from the Investment Facility, referred to in paragraph 3(b) and (c) of the Financial Protocol.

(4)

Article 15 of the Agreement establishes an ACP-EC Council of Ministers with powers to take decisions in accordance with the Agreement,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

Establishment of an ACP-EU Water Facility

An amount of EUR 226 million, consisting of EUR 185 million from the reserve of the 9th EDF long-term development envelope and EUR 41 million from the 9th EDF Investment Facility, shall be transferred to the intra-ACP allocation under the envelope for regional cooperation and integration, and used for the establishment of an ACP-EU Water Facility. Together with an amount of EUR 24 million already available under intra-ACP cooperation, a total amount of EUR 250 million will thus be made available for the first instalment of the ACP-EU Water Facility.

Article 2

Second instalment

Subject to the release by the EU Council of Ministers of a second allocation of EUR 250 million from the EUR 1 conditional billion under the 9th EDF, this amount shall be used for a second instalment of the ACP-EU Water Facility.

Article 3

Support request

In accordance with Article 13(2) of Annex IV to the Agreement, the ACP Council of Ministers requests the Commission to finance support for the ACP-EU Water Facility from intra-ACP cooperation for the amounts referred to in Articles 1 and 2.
