COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 456/2006

of 20 March 2006

correcting Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003 on the common organisation of the market in dried fodder

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 36 and the third subparagraph of Article 37(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas:

(1)	The text of Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003 (2) contains a number of errors.

(2)	In Article 1 of the said Regulation, CN codes ex 1214 90 91 and ex 1214 90 99 should be replaced by CN code ex 1214 90 90 following an amendment to the combined nomenclature.

(3)	In Article 5(1) of the said Regulation, the maximum guaranteed quantity of 4 855 900 tonnes should be replaced by the maximum guaranteed quantity of 4 960 723 tonnes, the sum of the guaranteed national quantities listed in paragraph 2 of that Article.

(4)

The first subparagraph of Article 6 of the said Regulation should be reworded in order to describe correctly the method of decreasing the aid, should the maximum guaranteed quantity be overrun. In the second subparagraph of the same Article, all linguistic versions should be aligned in order to use the same terminology when expressing the principle that no increase in budget expenditure is possible in the event of an overrun of the maximum guaranteed quantity.

(5)	Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003 should therefore be corrected accordingly.

(6)	Given that the corrections have no negative effect on economic operators, this Regulation should apply from the date of application of Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 1786/2003 is hereby corrected as follows:

1.	In point (a) of the first column of the table in Article 1, CN codes ‘ex 1214 90 91 and ex 1214 90 99’ shall be replaced by CN code ‘ex 1214 90 90’.

2.	In Article 5(1), the maximum guaranteed quantity of ‘4 855 900’ tonnes shall be replaced by the maximum guaranteed quantity of ‘4 960 723’ tonnes.

Article 6 shall be replaced as follows:

‘Article 6

Where during a marketing year the volume of dried fodder for which aid as provided for in Article 4(2) is claimed exceeds the maximum guaranteed quantity set out in Article 5(1), the aid shall be reduced in each Member State in which production exceeds the guaranteed national quantity by reducing expenditure as a function of the percentage of the sum of the overruns represented by the overrun of that Member State.

The reduction shall be set, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18(2), at a level ensuring that budget expenditure expressed in euro does not exceed that which would have been attained had the maximum guaranteed quantity not been exceeded.’.

Article 2

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

It shall apply from 1 April 2005.

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

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 458/2006

of 20 March 2006

on import licences in respect of beef and veal products originating in Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Namibia

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2286/2002 of 10 December 2002 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP States) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1706/98 (2),

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2006/33/EC

of 20 March 2006

amending Directive 95/45/EC as regards sunset yellow FCF (E 110) and titanium dioxide (E 171)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorised for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 3(3)(a) thereof,

After consulting the European Food Safety Authority,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Directive 95/45/EC of 26 July 1995 laying down specific purity criteria concerning colours for use in foodstuffs (2), sets out the purity criteria for the colours mentioned in Directive 94/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 1994 on colours for use in foodstuffs (3).

(2)

Sunset yellow FCF (E 110) is authorised under Directive 94/36/EC as a colour for use in certain foodstuffs. There is scientific evidence that under certain circumstances, Sudan I (1-(phenylazo)-2-naphthalenol) may be formed as an impurity during the production of sunset yellow. Sudan I is an unauthorised colour and an undesired substance in food. Its presence in sunset yellow should therefore be restricted to an amount below the limit of detection, i.e. 0,5 mg/kg. The purity criteria for sunset yellow FCF (E 110) should therefore be amended accordingly.

(3)

Account should be taken of the specifications and analytical techniques for additives set out in the Codex Alimentarius as drafted by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). JECFA began the implementation of a systematic programme to replace the test for heavy metals (as lead) in all existing food additive specifications with appropriate limits for individual metals of concern. These limits for sunset yellow FCF (E 110) should therefore be amended accordingly.

(4)

Titanium dioxide (E 171) is authorised under Directive 94/36/EC as a colour for use in certain foodstuffs. Titanium dioxide can be manufactured to obtain crystals in the anatase or in the rutile form. The platelet form of rutile titanium dioxide differs from the anatase form in structure and optical properties (pearlescence). There is a technological need for the use of the platelet form of rutile titanium dioxide as a colour in foodstuffs and in film coatings for food supplement tablets. On 7 December 2004 the European Food Safety Authority stated that the use of rutile titanium dioxide in the platelet or amorphous forms would not pose any safety concerns. The purity criteria for titanium dioxide (E 171) should therefore be amended in order to include both the anatase and the rutile form of the substance.

(5)	Directive 95/45/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)	The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

The Annex to Directive 95/45/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.

Article 2

1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 10 April 2007 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.

When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.

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

Article 3

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

Article 4

This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
