COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 179/2009
of 5 March 2009
amending Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 26 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
Council Regulation (EC) No 301/2007 of 19 March 2007 amending Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1) suspended totally, for a period of two years, the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties for monitors using liquid crystal display technology, with a diagonal measurement of the screen of 48,5 cm or less and a screen aspect ratio of 4:3 or 5:4 and classifiable under CN code 8528 59 90. |
(2) |
That suspension measure expired on 31 December 2008. |
(3) |
On consumer benefit grounds, to ensure rational development of production and an expansion of consumption within the Community and to promote trade between Member States and third countries, it is in the interest of the Community to extend the current autonomous duty suspension for two years starting from 1 January 2009 and to increase the diagonal measurement of the screen to 55,9 cm (22 inches) and to add the additional aspect ratios of 1:1 and 16:10. |
(4) |
For the same reasons, it is also in the interest of the Community to provide for a suspension for two years starting from 1 January 2009 for black and white or other monochrome monitors with a diagonal measurement of the screen not exceeding 77,5 cm (30,5 inches) and with the same aspect ratios as for colour monitors. |
(5) |
Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2) should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(6) |
As the suspensions provided for in this Regulation are an extension of the suspension introduced by Regulation (EC) No 301/2007 that expired on 31 December 2008 and since it is not in the interest of the Community that there be any interruption of the tariff treatment of the monitors covered by the suspension, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2009, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 is hereby amended as follows:
1. |
in Part Two, Section XVI, Chapter 85, of Annex I, the text in column 3 for CN code 8528 59 10 shall be replaced by the following: ‘14 (3) |
2. |
in Part Two, Section XVI, Chapter 85, of Annex I, the text in column 3 for CN code 8528 59 90 shall be replaced by the following: ‘14 (4) |
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2009.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 181/2009
of 6 March 2009
closing intervention buying-in of butter at fixed price until 31 August 2009
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 105/2008 of 5 February 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards intervention on the market in butter (2), and in particular the Article 12(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
On the basis of the communications submitted by Member States on 5 March 2009 in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 105/2008, the total quantity of butter offered for intervention at fixed price since 1 March 2009 has exceeded the limit of 30 000 tonnes fixed in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. Therefore, the intervention buying-in of butter at fixed price has to be closed until 31 August 2009, a single percentage has to be fixed for the quantities received by the competent authorities of the Member States on 4 March 2009 and the offers received by the competent authorities of the Member States on and after 5 March 2009 have to be rejected. |
(2) |
In accordance with Article 3(5) of Regulation (EC) No 105/2008 the butter offered for intervention has to be packaged and delivered in blocks of at least 25 kg net. Therefore, quantities of butter which have been multiplied by a single percentage should be rounded down to the closest multiple of 25 kg. |
(3) |
Intervention agencies have to notify sellers swiftly following publication of the single percentage and the closing of buying-in at fixed price. This Regulation should therefore enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The intervention buying-in of butter at fixed price is closed until 31 August 2009.
The total quantity of the offers of butter for intervention which were received from each seller by the competent authorities of the Member States in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 105/2008 on 4 March 2009 shall be accepted, multiplied by a single percentage of 65,0821 % and then rounded down to the closest multiple of 25 kg.
Offers received by the competent authorities of the Member States on and after 5 March 2009 until 31 August 2009 shall be rejected.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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 REGULATION (EC) No 182/2009
of 6 March 2009
amending Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 on marketing standards for olive oil
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 Articles 113(1)(a) and 121(a) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
It is desirable to clarify that the name under which olive oils and olive-pomace oils are sold should be one of the descriptions laid down by the common organisation of agricultural markets. Supplementary information on each of the categories of oil defined should also appear on the labelling, but not necessarily close to the name under which the product is sold. For goods containing olive oil, neither the labelling of the description, nor, therefore, of the supplementary information should be required. |
(2) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 (2) established optional arrangements for the labelling of the origin of olive oil although the aim was a system involving the compulsory labelling of the origin for extra virgin and virgin olive oil, in order to reflect the fact that, as a result of agricultural traditions and local extraction and blending practices such oils may be of quite different taste and quality depending on their geographical origin. Optional arrangements implemented since then proved not to be sufficient to avoid consumer misleading as to the real characteristics of virgin oils to this regard. In addition, since 2002, 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 (3) established traceability rules, applicable since 1 January 2005. The experience gained by operators and administrations in this matter allows making the labelling of the origin compulsory for extra virgin and virgin olive oil. |
(3) |
In the Community, a significant share of extra virgin and virgin olive oils is composed of blends of oils originating from various Member States and third countries. Simple provisions should be laid down for the labelling of the origin of such blends. Such simple rules make it possible deleting the former provisions on labelling of a ‘predominant origin’, complex to implement, difficult to control and potentially misleading. |
(4) |
Certain terms describing the organoleptic characteristics referring to taste and/or smell of extra virgin and virgin olive oils have been recently defined by the International Olive Council (IOC) in its revised method for the organoleptic assessment of virgin olive oils. The use of such terms on the labelling of extra virgin and virgin olive oils should be reserved to oils that have been assessed following the corresponding method of analysis. Transitional arrangements are needed for certain operators presently using the reserved terms. |
(5) |
Several Member States have maintained national regulations prohibiting the production of blends of olive oil with other seed oils for internal consumption purposes so as to preserve their traditions and a certain production quality at national level. The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 do not apply to tuna and sardines, covered respectively by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1536/92 of 9 June 1992 laying down common marketing standards for preserved tuna and bonito (4) and by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2136/89 of 21 June 1989 laying down common marketing standards for preserved sardines (5). For reasons of clarity, these aspects should be clearly mentioned in Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002. |
(6) |
Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 1019/2002 is amended as follows:
1. |
Article 1(1) is replaced by the following: ‘1. Without prejudice to Directive 2000/13/EC and Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 (6), this Regulation lays down specific standards for retail-stage marketing of the olive oils and olive-pomace oils referred to in points 1(a) and (b), 3 and 6 of Annex XVI to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. |
2. |
Article 3 is amended as follows:

Article 6 is amended as follows:

the first subparagraph of Article 9(2) is replaced by the following: ‘For the purpose of verifying indications as referred to in Articles 4, 5 and 6, the Member States concerned may introduce arrangements for approving establishments whose packaging facilities are situated in their territory.’ |
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.
It shall apply from 1 July 2009.
By way of derogation from the second paragraph, products which have been legally manufactured and labelled in the Community or legally imported into the Community and put into free circulation before 1 July 2009 may be marketed until all stocks are used up.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 59(1), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down the national and regional quotas for the production of sugar, isoglucose and inulin syrup. For the 2009/2010 marketing year those quotas should be adjusted taking into account the result from the application of Article 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No 320/2006 of 20 February 2006 establishing a temporary scheme for the restructuring of the sugar industry in the Community and amending Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (2). |
(2) |
The possible supplementary isoglucose quotas which might be allocated at a later date for the 2009/2010 marketing year upon requests by undertakings approved in Italy, Lithuania, and Sweden should be taken into account in the next adjustment of the quotas set out in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 before the end of February 2010. |
(3) |
Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly. |

of 6 March 2009
amending for the 104th time Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with Usama bin Laden, the Al-Qaida network and the Taliban
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 of 27 May 2002 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with Usama bin Laden, the Al-Qaida network and the Taliban, and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 467/2001 prohibiting the export of certain goods and services to Afghanistan, strengthening the flight ban and extending the freeze of funds and other financial resources in respect of the Taliban of Afghanistan, (1) and in particular the first indent of Article 7(1) thereof,

The statements of reasons regarding the amendments have been provided to the Commission. |
(3) |
Annex I should be amended accordingly. |
(4) |
In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation must enter into force immediately. |

COMMISSION DECISION
of 31 October 2008
implementing Council Directive 2006/88/EC as regards surveillance and eradication programmes and disease-free status of Member States, zones and compartments
(notified under document number C(2008) 6264)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2009/177/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 44(1), the first subparagraph of Article 44(2), Article 44(3), Article 49(1), Article 50(2)(a), Articles 50(3), 51(2), 59(2) and 61(3) and Article 64 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Directive 2006/88/EC lays down minimum preventive measures aimed at increasing the awareness and preparedness of the competent authorities, aquaculture production business operators and others related to this industry, for diseases in aquaculture animals, and minimum control measures to be applied in the event of a suspicion of, or an outbreak of certain diseases in aquatic animals. It repeals and replaces, from 1 August 2008, Council Directive 91/67/EEC of 28 January 1991 concerning the animal health conditions governing the placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products (2). |
(2) |
Article 44(1) of Directive 2006/88/EC provides that, where a Member State not known to be infected but not declared free of one or more of the non-exotic diseases listed in Part II of Annex IV thereto draws up a surveillance programme for achieving disease-free status for one or more of those diseases, it is to submit that programme for approval in accordance with the regulatory procedure. |
(3) |
Article 44(1) of Directive 2006/88/EC also provides that where that surveillance programme is to cover individual compartments or zones which comprise less than 75 % of the territory of the Member State and the zone or compartment consists of a water catchment area not shared with another Member State or third country, a different procedure, including the model forms to be submitted to the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health (the Committee), is to be followed, as provided for in Article 50(2) of Directive 2006/88/EC. |
(4) |
Article 44(2) of Directive 2006/88/EC provides that, where a Member State known to be infected by one or more of the non-exotic diseases listed in Part II of Annex IV thereto draws up an eradication programme for one or more of those disease, it is to submit that programme for approval in accordance with the regulatory procedure. |
(5) |
Where a Member State wishes to achieve the disease-free status of one or more of the non-exotic diseases listed in Part II of Annex IV to that Directive for its whole territory pursuant to Article 49(1) of Directive 2006/88/EC, it is to submit the evidence in order to be declared disease-free in accordance with the regulatory procedure. |
(6) |
Article 50(1) of Directive 2006/88/EC provides that a Member State may declare a zone or compartment within its territory free of one or more of the non-exotic diseases listed in Part II of Annex IV thereto under certain conditions. A Member State making such a declaration is to submit it to the Committee in accordance with the procedure laid down in paragraph 2 of that Article. |
(7) |
In addition, Article 50(3) of Directive 2006/88/EC provides that where that zone or compartment comprises more than 75 % of the territory of the Member State or consists of a water catchment area shared with another Member State or third country, the procedure laid down in Article 50(2) of that Directive is to be replaced by the regulatory procedure. |
(8) |
It is necessary to lay down detailed provisions to specify in which cases surveillance programmes and disease-free status declarations should be approved in accordance with the regulatory procedure. |
(9) |
Lists of Member States, zones or compartments subject to surveillance or eradication programmes approved in accordance with the regulatory procedure, or for which disease-free status has been approved, should be drawn up. |
(10) |
Model forms for the submission of surveillance programmes for approval and for declarations of such programmes should be laid down. A model form for Member States to report on the evolution of certain eradication programmes and certain surveillance programmes should also be drawn up. In addition, a model form for the submission of applications for disease-free status for approval and declarations of such status, should be laid down. |
(11) |
Annex V to Commission Decision 2008/425/EC of 25 April 2008 laying down the standard requirements for the submission by Member States of national programmes for the eradication, control and monitoring of certain animal diseases and zoonoses for Community financing (3) includes the detailed analysis of the cost of the programmes for which Member States wish to receive a financial contribution. In the interests of consistency of Community legislation, the model form for the submission of eradication programmes for approval pursuant to Directive 2006/88/EC should comply with the model set out in that Annex. |
(12) |
Annual information from Member States is needed to assess the evolution of approved surveillance programmes, as well as of approved eradication programmes not subject to Community funding. For that purpose, a report should be submitted each year to the Commission. Since eradication programmes subject to Community funding fall within the scope of Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (4), Member States are to report the technical and financial issues of those programmes in accordance with that Decision. |
(13) |
Declarations of surveillance programmes and declarations of disease-free status submitted by the Member States to the Committee should be accessible to the Commission and to the other Member States by electronic means. An Internet-based information page is technically the most feasible solution, as it ensures easy access to such declarations. |
(14) |
Pursuant to Directive 91/67/EEC, the following decisions approved disease-free zones, fish farms and programmes for the purpose of obtaining disease-free status: Commission Decision 2002/308/EC of 22 April 2002 establishing lists of approved zones and approved farms with regard to one or more of the fish diseases viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) and infectious haematopoietic necrosis (IHN) (5), Commission Decision 2002/300/EC of 18 April 2002 establishing the list of approved zones with regard to Bonamia ostreae and/or Marteilia refringens (6), Commission Decision 2003/634/EC of 28 August 2003 approving programmes for the purpose of obtaining the status of approved zones and of approved farms in non-approved zones with regard to viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) and infectious haematopoietic necrosis (IHN) in fish (7), and Commission Decision 94/722/EC of 25 October 1994 approving the programme concerning bonamiosis and marteiliosis submitted by France (8). |
(15) |
The criteria for disease-free status in Directive 2006/88/EC are equivalent to those laid down in Directive 91/67/EEC, as regards the approval of the entire territory of Member States, continental zones and farms in non-approved zones. |
(16) |
Therefore, continental zones and farms approved pursuant to Directive 91/67/EEC should not be required to be declared to the Committee in accordance with Directive 2006/88/EC. They should also be included in the list of zones and compartments accessible on the Internet-based pages established by this Decision. |
(17) |
However, the concept of coastal zone is not provided for in Directive 2006/88/EC. Areas approved as disease-free coastal zones pursuant to Directive 91/67/EEC should therefore be reassessed by the Member States and a new application, or if appropriate a new declaration, should be submitted pursuant to Directive 2006/88/EC. |
(18) |
Decisions 2002/300/EC and 2002/308/EC should therefore be repealed from 1 August 2009, thereby allowing Member States sufficient time to submit new declarations or applications as regards those coastal zones. |
(19) |
The distinction between surveillance and eradication programmes is not provided for in Directive 91/67/EEC. However, since the requirements applicable to such programmes are equivalent, the programmes approved pursuant to Decisions 2003/634/EC and 94/722/EC should be regarded as complying with Directive 2006/88/EC. For the purpose of identifying which of those programmes should be regarded as surveillance or eradication programmes and included in the relevant lists set out in this Decision, the Member States should provide information on those programmes to the Commission by 30 April 2009. |
(20) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
