Corrigendum to Council Regulation (EC) No 1966/2006 of 21 December 2006 on electronic recording and reporting of fishing activities and on means of remote sensing
( Official Journal of the European Union L 409 of 30 December 2006 )
Regulation (EC) No 1966/2006 should read as follows:
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1966/2006
of 21 December 2006
on electronic recording and reporting of fishing activities and on means of remote sensing
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) |
Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 (1) establishes a framework designed to ensure the conservation and the sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy. |
(2) |
Objectives of conservation and sustainable exploitation of the fisheries resources are achieved through conditions governing access to waters and resources, namely by limiting catches and fishing effort and by adopting technical measures related to fishing techniques and gears and sizes of catches. |
(3) |
Therefore, in order to soundly manage fishing opportunities and in order to achieve these objectives, there is a need to monitor fisheries activities through the most appropriate means. Control on quantities caught is mainly carried out by collecting information on catches, landings, transhipments, transports and sales, while control on fishing effort is mainly carried out by collecting information on the characteristics of the vessel, time spent on fishing and gears used. Furthermore, remote control technologies enable fisheries control authorities to monitor the presence of vessels in a given area. The combination of all these means increases the accuracy of the information. |
(4) |
Articles 22(1) and 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 respectively provide that the Council is to decide in 2004 on the obligation to electronically record and transmit relevant information relating to fishing activities, including landing or transhipments of catches and sales note, and on the obligation to set up a means of remote sensing. |
(5) |
Pilot projects on electronic recording and reporting as well as on remote sensing have been carried out during recent years by Member States and other countries. They have proved to be valid and cost-effective. |
(6) |
Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the Common Fisheries Policy (2) foresees that the masters of Community fishing vessels shall keep a logbook of their operations. |
(7) |
Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 stipulates that fisheries products shall only be sold from a fishing vessel to registered buyers or at registered auctions. |
(8) |
Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 foresees that auction centres or other bodies or persons authorised by Member States which are responsible for the first marketing of fishery products shall, upon first sale, submit a sales note to the competent authorities in whose territory the first marketing takes place. |
(9) |
Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 foresees that the master of each Community fishing vessel having an overall length equal to, or more than, 10 m, or his representative, shall after each trip and within 48 hours of landing submit a declaration to the competent authorities of the Member State where the landing takes place. |
(10) |
Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 also foresees that where the first marketing of fisheries products does not take place in the Member State where the products have been landed, the Member State responsible for monitoring the first marketing shall ensure that a copy of the sales note is submitted to the authorities responsible for monitoring the landing of the products concerned as soon as possible. |
(11) |
Article 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 requires Member States to create computerised databases and to establish a validation system comprising in particular cross-checks and verification of data. |
(12) |
Article 9 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 also foresees that a take-over declaration which is the responsibility of the holder of this declaration shall be submitted to the competent authorities when the products are not offered for sale or are intended for sale at a later date. |
(13) |
Remote sensing should only be used where there is clear evidence of a cost benefit in relation to the use only of traditional control means such as fishery patrol vessels and aircraft in the detection of fishing vessels operating illegally. |
(14) |
Conditions under which electronic recording and reporting, as well as means of remote sensing, are to be used for control purpose should therefore be established. |
(15) |
The formats which national competent authorities will use to exchange information for control and inspection purposes should be defined in detailed implementing rules. |
(16) |
A Member State should be free to decide on the formats for transmission of data used by vessels flying its flag. |
(17) |
Investments related to implementation of control technologies are eligible under the framework of the Council Regulation (EC) No 861/2006 of 22 May 2006 establishing Community financial measures for the implementation of the common fisheries policy and in the area of the Law of the Sea (3). |
(18) |
The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (4), |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Electronic recording and reporting
1. The master of a Community fishing vessel shall record by electronic means information relating to fishing activities, which he is required to record in a logbook and a transhipment declaration as defined in the relevant Community legislation, and shall send it by electronic means to the competent authority of the Flag State.
2. The master of a Community fishing vessel or his representative shall record by electronic means information relating to fishing activities, which is required to be recorded in a landing declaration as defined in the relevant Community legislation, and shall send it by electronic means to the competent authority of the Flag State.
3. The first sales note and, where appropriate, take-over declaration shall be electronically recorded and transmitted to the competent authorities in whose territory the first marketing takes place by a registered buyer, a registered auction or other entity or person authorised by Member States that are responsible for the first sale of fishery products.
4. Member States shall have the necessary administrative and technical structures enabling them to receive, treat, cross-check and transmit, by electronic means, the information contained, at a minimum, in the logbook, transhipment declaration, landing declaration, sales note and take-over declaration referred to in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3.

Corrigendum to Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 of 21 December 2006 concerning management measures for the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea, amending Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1626/94
( Official Journal of the European Union L 409 of 30 December 2006 )
Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 should read as follows:
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1967/2006
of 21 December 2006
concerning management measures for the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea, amending Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1626/94
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) |
The provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (1) apply to the Mediterranean Sea. |
(2) |
By Decision 98/392/EC (2) the Council has concluded the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which contains principles and rules relating to the conservation and management of the living resources of the high seas. In accordance with the rules of that Convention, the Community endeavours to coordinate the management and conservation of living aquatic resources with other coastal States. |
(3) |
Pursuant to Decision 98/416/EC (3) the Community is a Contracting Party to the Agreement on the General Fisheries Commission of the Mediterranean, (hereinafter the GFCM). The GFCM agreement provides a framework for regional cooperation on the conservation and management of Mediterranean marine resources by adopting recommendations in the area covered by the GFCM Agreement which become binding on the Contracting Parties. |
(4) |
The biological, social and economic characteristics of the Mediterranean fisheries require the Community to establish a specific management framework. |
(5) |
The Community has undertaken to apply the precautionary approach in taking measures designed to protect and conserve living aquatic resources and marine ecosystems and to provide for their sustainable exploitation. |
(6) |
The management system provided for in this Regulation covers operations relating to the fishing of Mediterranean stocks carried out by Community vessels whether in Community waters or in international waters, by third country vessels in Member States fishing zones or by citizens of the Union in the Mediterranean High Sea. |
(7) |
However, so that scientific research is not impeded, this Regulation should not apply to any operations required for the purposes of such research. |
(8) |
It is necessary to establish an effective management framework, through an appropriate sharing of responsibilities between the Community and the Member States. |
(9) |
The strict protection of certain marine species already afforded by Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (4) and applicable to marine waters under Member States’ sovereignty should be extended to the Mediterranean High Sea. |
(10) |
Council Decision 1999/800/EC of 22 October 1999 on concluding the Protocol concerning specially protected areas and biological diversity in the Mediterranean, and on accepting the annexes to that Protocol (Barcelona Convention) (5), provides, in addition to the provisions relating to the conservation of sites of Mediterranean importance, for drawing up lists of endangered or threatened species and species whose exploitation is regulated. |
(11) |
It is necessary to adopt new technical measures for fishing replacing those laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 1626/94 of 27 June 1994 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean (6) to take account of new scientific advice. Account should also be taken of the main elements of the Action Plan on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea under the common fisheries policy. |
(12) |
Regulation (EC) No 1626/94 should therefore be repealed. |
(13) |
Excessive catches of undersized individuals should be avoided. To that end it is necessary to protect certain areas where juveniles congregate, taking account of the local biological conditions. |
(14) |
Fishing gear that is too harmful to the marine environment or leads to the depletion of certain stocks should be prohibited or more strictly regulated. |
(15) |
In order to avoid further increases in mortality rates for juveniles and to substantially reduce the amount of discards of dead marine organisms by fishing vessels, it is appropriate to provide for increases in mesh sizes and hook sizes for trawl nets, bottom-set nets and longlines used for fishing for certain species of marine organisms and for the mandatory use of square-meshed netting. |
(16) |
In order to allow for a transitional period, before increasing the mesh size of bottom trawl nets, it is appropriate to determine some characteristics in the rigging of the trawl nets that will enhance the selectivity of the currently used mesh size. |
(17) |
The management of fishing effort should be the main tool to deliver sustainable fisheries in the Mediterranean Sea. To that end it is appropriate to determine the overall dimensions of the main types of passive fishing gears to limit one factor which affects the fishing effort deployed. |
(18) |
Part of the coastal zone should be reserved for selective fishing gears used by small-scale fishermen, in order to protect nursery areas and sensitive habitats and enhance the social sustainability of Mediterranean fisheries. |
(19) |
It is appropriate to determine the minimum landing sizes of certain marine organisms in order both to improve their exploitation and to set standards upon which Member States can build their management system for coastal fisheries. To this end, the selectivity of a certain fishing gear should correspond, as closely as possible, to the minimum landing size established for a certain species or group of species caught by that gear. |
(20) |
In order not to hinder artificial restocking or transplantation of fish stocks and other marine organisms, operations necessary for the conduct of such activities should be permitted, provided they are compatible with the sustainability of the species concerned. |
(21) |
Since leisure fisheries are very important in the Mediterranean, it is necessary to ensure that they are carried out in a manner that does not significantly interfere with commercial fishing, is compatible with sustainable exploitation of living aquatic resources and complies with Community obligations in respect of regional fishery organisations. |
(22) |
In view of the specific characteristics of many Mediterranean fisheries, which are restricted to certain geographical sub-zones, and taking into account the tradition of applying effort management system at sub-regional level, it is appropriate to provide for the establishment of Community and national management plans, combining in particular effort management with specific technical measures. |
(23) |
In order to ensure an efficient control of fishing activities, certain specific measures complementary to or more stringent than those provided by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (7) should be taken. In particular, there is a need to lower the current threshold of 50 kg of live-weight equivalent, for species other than highly migratory and small pelagic species caught in the Mediterranean Sea that must be recorded in the logbook. |
(24) |
Since Community fisheries account for more than 75 % of the catches of the swordfish in the Mediterranean Sea, it is appropriate to lay down management measures. In order to ensure that these measures are effective, the technical measures for the conservation of certain stocks of highly migratory species should emanate from the competent regional fisheries organisations. Accordingly, the Commission should submit suitable proposals to the GFCM and the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT) as appropriate. The absence of an agreement within a specified period of time will not prevent the EU from adopting measures to this effect until a definitive agreement is reached on a multilateral basis. |
(25) |
Specific provisions concerning fishing in the waters around Malta have been introduced by Council Regulation (EC) No 813/2004, in accordance with the Act of Accession and in particular Article 21 and Annex III thereof. It is appropriate to maintain such provisions. |
(26) |
The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (8). |
(27) |
Amendments to the Annexes to this Regulation should also be adopted in accordance with Decision 1999/468/EC, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

‘towed gears’ means any fishing gear, with the exclusion of troll lines, towed either by the engine power of the fishing vessel or hauled by means of winches with the fishing vessel either anchored or slowly under way, including in particular towed nets and dredges;
|
2. |
‘fishing protected area’ means a geographically-defined sea area in which all or certain fishing activities are temporarily or permanently banned or restricted in order to improve the exploitation and conservation of living aquatic resources or the protection of marine ecosystems; |
3. |
‘bottom-set net’ means a trammel net, a bottom-set gillnet or a combined bottom-set net;
|
4. |
‘surrounding nets’ means nets which catch fish by surrounding them both from the sides and from below. They may or may not be equipped with a purse line.
|
5. |
‘traps’ means fishing gear which is fixed to or deployed on the bottom and which acts as a trap to catch marine species. They are constructed in the form of a basket, pot, barrel or cage, and in the majority of cases they comprise a rigid or semi-rigid frame made of various material (wood, wicker, metal rods, wire netting, etc.) that may or may not be covered with netting. They have one or more funnels or mouths with smooth ends that allow species to enter the internal chamber. They may be used separately or in groups. When used in groups a main line carries numerous traps on branch lines of variable length and spacing depending on the target species; |
6. |
‘longlines’ means a fishing gear which comprises a main line carrying numerous hooks on branch lines (snoods) of variable length and spacing depending on the target species. It may be deployed either vertically or horizontally to the sea surface; it may be set either at or near the bottom (bottom-set longline) or drifting in midwater or near the surface (surface longline); |
7. |
‘hooks’ means a bent, sharpened piece of steel wire usually with barb. The point of a hook may be either straight or even reversed and curved; the shank can be of varying length and form and its cross section can be round (regular) or flattened (forged). The total length of a hook shall be measured as the maximum overall length of the shank from the tip of the hook which serves for fastening the line and is usually shaped as an eye, to the apex of the bend. The width of a hook shall be measured as the greatest horizontal distance from the external part of the shank to the external part of the barb; |
8. |
‘leisure fisheries’ means fishing activities exploiting living aquatic resources for recreation or sport; |
9. |
‘fishing aggregating devices (FADs)’ means any equipment floating on the sea surface and aggregating underneath either juveniles or adult specimens of highly migratory species; |
10. |
‘St Andrew's cross’ is a grab which employs a scissor-like action to harvest either the bivalve mollusc Pinna nobilis or the red coral from the sea-bed; |
11. |
‘seagrass bed’ means an area where the seabed is characterised by the dominant presence of phanerogams, or where such vegetation has existed and is in need of restoration action. Seagrass is a collective terms for the species Posidonia oceanica, Cymodocea nodosa, Zoostera marina and Zoostera noltii; |
12. |
‘coralligenous habitat’ means an area where the seabed is characterised by the dominant presence of a specific biological community named ‘coralligenous’, or where such community has existed and is in need of restoration action. Coralligenous is a collective term for a very complex biogenic structure given by the continuous overlapping over a pre-existent rocky or hard substratum of calcareous strata mainly deriving from the building activity of encrusting calcareous coralline red algae and animal organisms such as Porifera, ascidians, cnidarians (horny corals, seafans, etc.), bryozoans, serpulids and annelids, together with other limestone-fixer organisms; |
13. |
‘mäerl bed’ means an area where the seabed is characterised by the dominant presence of a specific biological community named ‘mäerl’, or where such a community has existed and is in need of restoration action. Mäerl is a collective term for a biogenic structure due to several species of coralline red algae (Corallinaceae), which have hard calcium skeletons and grow as unattached free-living branched, twig-like or nodular coralline algae on the seabed, forming accumulations within the ripples of mudflats or sandflats seabeds. Mäerl beds are usually composed of one or a variable combination of red algae, in particular Lithothamnion coralloides and Phymatolithon calcareum; |
14. |
‘direct restocking’ means the activity of releasing live wild animals of selected species in waters where they occur naturally, in order to use the natural production of the aquatic environment to increase the number of individuals available for fisheries and/or to increase the natural recruitment; |
15. |
‘transplantation’ means the process by which a species is intentionally transported and released by humans within areas of established populations and continuing genetic flow where it occurs; |
16. |
‘non-indigenous species’ means a species whose historically known natural range occurs outside the area of interest; |
17. |
‘introduction’ means the process by which a non-indigenous species is intentionally moved and released by humans into any area which is outside of its historically known natural range. |

For the purposes of this Annex:
(a) |
‘multiple twine netting’ means netting constructed of two or more twines, where the twines can be separated between the knots without damage to the twine structure; |
(b) |
‘knotless netting’ means netting which is composed of meshes of four sides of approximately equal length in which the corners of the meshes are formed by the interweaving of the twines of two adjacent sides of the mesh; |
(c) |
‘square-meshed netting’ means a construction of netting mounted so that of the two sets of parallel lines formed by the mesh bars, one set is parallel to and the other at right angles to the long axis of the net; |
(d) |
‘the trawl body’ means the tapered section in the front part of a trawl net; |
(e) |
‘the extension piece’ means the untapered section, made of one or more panels, between the trawl body and the cod-end; |
(f) |
‘the cod-end’ means the rearmost part of a trawl net, of net of the same mesh size, having either a cylindrical or a tapering shape, whose transversal cross-sections are nearly a circle of the same or decreasing radius respectively; |
(g) |
‘balloon cod-end’ means any cod-end composed of one or more adjoining panels, of net of the same mesh size, whose number of meshes increases going to the rearmost part of the gear causing an extension of the transversal length, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the net, and of the circumference of the cod-end; |
(h) |
‘pocket type cod-end’ means any cod-end whose vertical height diminishes towards the rearmost part of the cod-end and whose transversal cross-sections are nearly an ellipse of the same or decreasing major axis. The rearmost part of the cod-end is either composed by a single folded panel or by transversally lacing together, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the net, the rearmost upper and lower panels; |
(i) |
‘transversal lacing rope’ means any external or internal rope running transversally, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the net, in the rearmost part of the cod-end either along the join between two upper and lower panels or along the bend of the single rearmost panel. It can be either a prolongation of the lateral lacing rope or a separate rope; |
(j) |
‘circumference-perimeter’ of any cross section in a diamond mesh netting of a trawl net shall be calculated as the number of meshes in that cross section multiplied by the stretched mesh size; |
(k) |
‘circumference-perimeter’ of any cross section in a square mesh netting of a trawl net shall be calculated as the number of meshes in that cross section multiplied by the mesh side length. |
(A) Authorised attachments to trawl nets
1. |
Notwithstanding Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3440/84 either a transversal, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the net, or lengthways zip-fastener mechanical device may be used to close the opening for emptying the pocket-type cod-end. |

The transversal zip-fastener shall be attached at a distance which is not more than 1 metre from the rear meshes of the cod-end. |
(B) Rigging requirements
1. |
A balloon cod-end shall be prohibited in trawl nets. Within any single cod-end the number of equal sized meshes around any circumference of the cod-end shall not increase from the front end to the rear end. |
2. |
The circumference of the rearmost part of the trawl body (the tapered section) or of the extension piece (the untapered section) shall not be smaller than the circumference of the front end of the cod-end sensu stricto. In the case of a square mesh cod-end, in particular, the circumference of the rearmost part of the trawl body or of the extension piece shall be from two to four times the circumference of the front end of the cod-end sensu stricto. |
3. |
Square mesh panels may be inserted into any towed net and shall be placed in front of any extension piece or at any point between the front of any extension piece and the posterior of the cod-end. It shall not be obstructed in any way by either internal or external attachments. It shall be constructed of knotless netting or of netting constructed with non-slip knots, and shall be inserted in such a way that the meshes remain fully open at all times while fishing. Detailed rules for further technical specifications of square mesh panels shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29 of this Regulation. |
4. |
Analogously, technical devices with a view of improving selectivity of trawl nets, other than that referred to in point (b) 3, may be authorised in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 29 of this Regulation. |

By way of modification of Article 6(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3440/84 the mesh size of the strengthening bag shall not be less than 120 mm for bottom trawlers if the cod-end mesh is smaller than 60 mm. This provision shall apply only to the Mediterranean Sea and shall be without prejudice to other Community waters. If the cod-end mesh size is equal to or greater than 60 mm then Article 6(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3440/84 shall apply. |
8. |
The pocket type cod-end shall not have more than one opening to empty. |
9. |
The length of the transversal lacing rope shall be not less than 20 % of the circumference of the cod-end. |
10. |
The circumference of the strengthening bag, as defined in Article 6 of Regulation No 3440/84, shall not be less than 1,3 times that of the cod-end for bottom trawl nets. |
11. |

Corrigendum to Council Regulation (EC) No 1968/2006 of 21 December 2006 concerning Community financial contributions to the International Fund for Ireland (2007 to 2010)
( Official Journal of the European Union L 409 of 30 December 2006 )
Regulation (EC) No 1968/2006 should read as follows:
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1968/2006
of 21 December 2006
concerning Community financial contributions to the International Fund for Ireland (2007 to 2010)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 308 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) |
The International Fund for Ireland (hereinafter ‘the Fund’) was established in 1986 by the Agreement of 18 September 1986 between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning the International Fund for Ireland (hereinafter the Agreement) in order to promote economic and social advance, and to encourage contact, dialogue and reconciliation between nationalists and unionists throughout Ireland, in implementation of one of the objectives specified by the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 15 November 1985. |
(2) |
The Community, recognising that the objectives of the Fund are a reflection of those pursued by itself, has provided financial contributions to the Fund from 1989. For the period 2005 to 2006 EUR 15 million was committed from the Community budget for each of the years 2005 and 2006 in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 177/2005 of 24 January 2005 on Community financial contributions to the International Fund for Ireland (1). That Regulation will expire on 31 December 2006. |
(3) |
The assessments carried out in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 177/2005 have confirmed the need for further support for activities of the Fund, while continuing reinforcing synergy of objectives and coordination with Structural Funds interventions, in particular with the Special Programme for Peace and Reconciliation in Northern Ireland and the Border Counties of Ireland (hereinafter the PEACE programme) set up in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds (2). |
(4) |
The peace process in Northern Ireland requires a continuation of Community support to the Fund beyond 31 December 2006. In recognition of the special effort for the peace process, the PEACE programme has been allocated additional support from the Structural Funds for the period 2007 to 2013 pursuant to paragraph 22 of Annex II to Council Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 laying down general provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999. |
(5) |
At its meeting in Brussels on 15 and 16 December 2005, the European Council called on the Commission to take the necessary steps with a view to continued Community support for the Fund as it enters the crucial final phase of its work up to 2010. |
(6) |
The main purpose of this Regulation is to support peace and reconciliation through a wider range of activities than those covered by the Structural Funds, and which extend beyond the scope of the Community's policy on economic and social cohesion. |
(7) |
The Community contribution to the Fund should take the form of financial contributions for the years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, thus terminating at the same time as the life of the Fund. |
(8) |
In allocating the Community contribution, the Fund should give priority to projects of a cross-border or cross-community nature, in such a way as to complement the activities funded by the PEACE programme for the period 2007 to 2010. |
(9) |
In accordance with the Agreement, all financial contributors to the Fund participate as observers at the meetings of the Board of the International Fund for Ireland. |
(10) |
It is vital to ensure proper coordination between the activities of the Fund and those financed under the Community Structural Funds provided for by Article 159 of the Treaty, in particular the PEACE programme. |
(11) |
Assistance from the Fund should be regarded as effective only in so far as it brings about sustainable economic and social improvement and is not used as a substitute for other public or private expenditure. |
(12) |
An assessment reviewing the closure provisions of the Fund should be carried out before 1 July 2008. |
(13) |
A financial reference amount, within the meaning of Point 38 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (3) is inserted in this Regulation for the entire duration of the programme, without the powers of the budgetary authority as defined by the Treaty being affected thereby. |
(14) |
The amount of the Community contribution to the Fund should be EUR 15 million for each of the years 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010, expressed in current values. |
(15) |
The Fund strategy launched for the final phase of its activities (2006 to 2010) and entitled ‘Sharing this Space’ focuses on four key areas: building foundations for reconciliation in the most marginalised communities, building bridges for contact between divided communities, moving towards a more integrated society and leaving a legacy. Consequently, the ultimate aim of the Fund and of this Regulation is, therefore, to encourage inter-community reconciliation. |
(16) |
The Community support will contribute to reinforcing solidarity between the Member States and between their peoples. |
(17) |
The adoption of this Regulation is considered necessary to attain the objectives of the Community in the course of operation of the common market. Since the Treaty does not specifically provide the necessary powers, this Regulation should be adopted on the basis of Article 308 of the Treaty, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The financial reference amount for the implementation of the International Fund for Ireland (hereinafter the Fund) for the period 2007 to 2010 shall be EUR 60 million.
Annual appropriations shall be authorised by the budgetary authority within the limit of the financial framework.
Article 2
The contribution shall be used by the Fund in accordance with the Agreement of 18 September 1986 between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning the International Fund for Ireland (hereinafter the Agreement).
In allocating the contribution the Fund shall give priority to projects of a cross-border or cross-community nature, in such a way as to complement the activities financed by the Structural Funds, and especially those of the PEACE programme operating in Northern Ireland and the Border Counties of Ireland.
The contribution shall be used in such a way as to bring about sustainable economic and social improvement in the areas concerned. It shall not be used as a substitute for other public and private expenditure.
Article 3
The Commission shall represent the Community as an observer at the meetings of the Board of the Fund (hereinafter the Board).
The Fund shall be represented as an observer at the Monitoring Committee meetings of the PEACE programme, and of other Structural Funds interventions as appropriate.
Article 4
The Commission shall, in cooperation with the Fund's Board, determine appropriate procedures to foster coordination at all levels between the Fund and the managing authorities and implementing bodies set up under the Structural Funds interventions concerned, in particular under the PEACE programme.
Article 5
The Commission shall, in cooperation with the Fund's Board, determine appropriate publicity and information procedures in order to publicise the Community's contribution to the projects financed by the Fund.
Article 6
By 30 June 2008 at the latest, the Fund shall submit to the Commission its strategy for the closure of the activities of the Fund, including:
(a) |
an action plan with projected payments and a foreseen winding up date; |
(b) |
a de-commitment procedure; |
(c) |
the treatment of any residual amounts and interest received at the closure of the Fund. |
Subsequent payments to the Fund are conditional on the Commission's approval of the closure strategy. If the strategy for closure is not submitted by 30 June 2008, payments to the Fund shall be interrupted until the strategy is received.
Article 7
1. The Commission shall administer the contributions.
Subject to paragraph 2 the annual contribution shall be paid in instalments as follows:
(a) |
a first advance payment of 40 % shall be made after the Commission has received an undertaking, signed by the Chairman of the Fund's Board, to the effect that the Fund shall comply with the conditions for the grant of the contribution set out in this Regulation; |
(b) |
a second advance payment of 40 % shall be made six months later; |
(c) |
a final payment of 20 % shall be made after the Commission has received and accepted the Fund's annual activity report and audited accounts for the year in question. |
2. Before paying out an instalment the Commission shall carry out an assessment of the Fund's financial needs on the basis of the Fund's cash balance at the time scheduled for each payment. If following that assessment, the Fund's financial needs do not justify payment of one of those instalments, the payment concerned shall be suspended. The Commission shall review that decision on the basis of new information provided by the Fund and shall continue payments as soon as they are considered justified.
Article 8
A contribution from the Fund may be allocated to an operation which receives or is due to receive financial assistance under a Structural Funds intervention, only if the sum of that financial assistance plus 40 % of the contribution from the Fund does not exceed 75 % of the operation's total eligible costs.
Article 9
A final report should be submitted to the Commission six months before the winding up date foreseen in the strategy for closure referred in point (a) of the first paragraph of Article 6 or six months after the last Community payment, whichever happens first, and should include all the necessary information that would enable the Commission to evaluate the implementation of the assistance and the attainment of the objectives.
Article 10
The final year contribution shall be paid following the financial needs analysis referred to in Article 7(2) and provided the Fund's performance respects the closure strategy provided for in Article 6.
Article 11
The final date of eligibility of expenditure is 31 December 2013.
Article 12
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2007.
It shall expire on 31 December 2010.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Corrigendum to Decision No 1/2006 of the EU-Bulgaria association Council 2006/1001/EC of 31 May 2006 concerning the improvement of the trade arrangements for processed agricultural products provided in Protocol 3 to the Europe Agreement
( Official Journal of the European Union L 409 of 30 December 2006 )
Decision No 2006/1001/EC reads as follows:
DECISION No 1/2006 OF THE EU-BULGARIA ASSOCIATION COUNCIL
of 31 May 2006
concerning the improvement of the trade arrangements for processed agricultural products provided in Protocol 3 to the Europe Agreement
(2006/1001/EC)
THE ASSOCIATION COUNCIL,
Having regard to the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Bulgaria, of the other part (1), and in particular Article 1(2) of Protocol 3 thereto,
Whereas:
(1) |
Protocol 3, as replaced by the Protocol adjusting trade aspects of the Europe Agreement (2), lays down the trade arrangements for processed agricultural products between the Community and Bulgaria. Protocol 3 was last amended by Decision No 2/2002 of EU-Bulgaria Association Council (3). |
(2) |
New trade improvements have recently been negotiated to facilitate economic convergence in preparation for accession and lay down concessions in the form of complete liberalisation of trade for certain processed agricultural products, reduced duties or tariff quotas for others. |
(3) |
Under Article 1(2) of Protocol 3, the Association Council decides on any amendment to the duties referred to in Annexes I and II to the Protocol and on the increase in or abolition of tariff quotas. The duties applied may be reduced in response to reductions resulting from mutual concessions relating to processed agricultural products. |
(4) |
For the importation of certain goods no customs duties should be applied. For certain other goods tariff quotas should be opened; those quotas should be reduced by the quantities of goods subject to the tariff quotas applied from 1 October 2004 in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2004 of 24 September 2004 adopting autonomous and transitional measures concerning the importation of certain processed agricultural products originating in Bulgaria and the exportation of certain processed products to Bulgaria (4) and in accordance with the Bulgarian Council of Minister's Decree No 262 of 27.9.2004 as last amended by Decree 293 of 2.11.2004. |
(5) |
For processed agricultural products no export refunds should be granted under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (5). |
(6) |
For processed agricultural products originating in Bulgaria and exported to the Community no export refunds should be granted, |
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
From 1 October 2004, the customs duties set out in Annex I shall apply to the importation into the Community of goods originating in Bulgaria listed in that Annex.
From 1 October 2004, the customs duties set out in Annex II shall apply to the importation into Bulgaria of goods originating in the Community listed in that Annex.
Article 2
Processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty establishing the European Community originating in the Community and exported to Bulgaria shall not be eligible for export refunds granted under Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005.
Processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty originating in Bulgaria and exported to the Community shall not be eligible for export refunds in Bulgaria.
Where technical requirements need to be adopted as a consequence of the abolition of export refunds, they shall be decided, as the case may be, by the Commission or by Bulgarian legislation.
Article 3
The tariff quotas referred to in Annex III and Annex IV shall be opened from 1 October to 31 December 2004 and from 1 January to 31 December of the following years under the conditions laid down therein.
The volumes for the year 2004 shall be reduced on a pro rata basis according to the period, to one fourth, except for tariff quotas under order No 09.5463, No 09.5487 and No 09.5479.
The quantities benefiting from tariff quotas opened under Regulation (EC) No 1676/2004 and put in free circulation from 1 October 2004 shall be fully counted against the quantities provided in the tariff quotas set out in Annex III.
The quantities benefiting from tariff quotas under order No 09.5463, No 09.5487 and No 09.5479 opened under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1446/2002 of 8 August 2002 on the suspension and opening of tariff quotas applicable to the importation into the Community of certain processed agricultural products originating in Bulgaria (6), and put in free circulation from 1 January to 30 September 2004, shall be fully counted against the quantities provided in the corresponding tariff quotas set out in Annex III.
The quantities benefiting from tariff quotas in Bulgaria and put into free circulation from 1 October 2004 shall be fully counted against the quantities provided in the tariff quotas set out in Annex IV.
Article 4
This Decision shall enter into force on the first day of the month following that of its adoption.
Done at Brussels, 31 May 2006.
