COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 1183/2011

of 14 November 2011

amending Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 setting up the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 187 and 188 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

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

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee,

Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,

Whereas:

(1)

The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (hereinafter referred as the ‘FCH Joint Undertaking’) was set up on 30 May 2008 under Council Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 (2) by its founding members, the European Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Technology Initiative Industry Grouping Aisbl (hereinafter referred as the ‘Industry Grouping’) and the Commission.

(2)

The Research Grouping became a member of the FCH Joint Undertaking on 14 July 2008. The Research Grouping contributes both financially and in kind to the objectives of the FCH Joint Undertaking. Given the specific composition of the FCH Joint Undertaking, as well as its rules and the nature, objectives and scope of its activities, the members of the Research Grouping may benefit from the results achieved in the same manner as the members of the Industry Grouping. Therefore, it is justified to allow the in-kind contribution from both the Industry Grouping and Research Grouping to be counted as matching funds.

(3)

The Research Grouping became a member of the FCH Joint Undertaking, and it is therefore appropriate to consider that in-kind contributions from research organisations (including universities and research centres) match the contribution of the Union, within the meaning of the Statutes of the FCH Joint Undertaking annexed to Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 (hereinafter referred as the ‘Statutes’).

(4)

The FCH Joint Undertaking has been operating for more than 2 years, and during this period the entire operational cycle with publishing calls for proposals, evaluations of proposals, negotiations of funding and conclusion of grant agreements has been completed. Experience gained during this period has shown that the maximum funding levels in FCH Joint Undertaking projects had to be reduced significantly for all participants. As a result, the level of participation in the actions of the FCH Joint Undertaking proved to be significantly below initial expectations.

(5)	The Governing Board approved the amendments to Regulation (EC) No 521/2008, in accordance with the Statutes.

(6)

Allowing in-kind contributions from all legal entities participating in the activities to be counted as matching funding would recognise the membership of the Research Grouping and would improve the funding levels while still respecting the fundamental principle of matching, as well as the need to apply fair and balanced funding reductions to the different types of participants.

(7)	The running costs of the Programme Office of the FCH Joint Undertaking (hereinafter referred as the ‘Programme Office’) should be covered by its three members. It is appropriate to provide that all members of the FCH Joint Undertaking have the same payment schedule.

(8)	The Commission should be given some flexibility regarding the measures to be taken in case of insufficient matching.

(9)	Currently the level of funding is determined after each evaluation of proposals received. To enable beneficiaries to estimate the extent of the potential funding, it should be possible for each call to specify the minimum level of funding.

(10)	Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 is hereby amended as follows:

(1)	in Article 6, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following: ‘2. The FCH Joint Undertaking may have its own internal audit capability.’;

(2)	the Annex is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

Notwithstanding Article 12(3) of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 521/2008, this amending Regulation shall not affect the rights and obligations arising under the grant agreements and other contracts concluded by the FCH Joint Undertaking before the entry into force of this Regulation. In particular, it shall not affect the upper funding limits set out therein.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

However, point 2(a) of the Annex to this Regulation shall apply from 14 July 2008.

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

—	ensure that industry’s contribution to the achievement of the RTD activities funded by the FCH Joint Undertaking, together with contributions from other beneficiaries, at least matches the Union contribution,’;

(b)

(3)	the following paragraph is added to Article 15: ‘4. The Governing Board may decide to specify a minimum level of funding for each category of participant for a particular Call for proposals.’.

of 18 November 2011

laying down detailed rules in relation to certain provisions of Council Directive 2010/24/EU concerning mutual assistance for the recovery of claims relating to taxes, duties and other measures

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Directive 2010/24/EU of 16 March 2010 concerning mutual assistance for the recovery of claims relating to taxes, duties and other measures (1), and in particular Article 26 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Directive 2010/24/EU has substantially changed the rules concerning mutual assistance for the recovery of claims relating to taxes, duties and other measures and newly determined the implementing powers of the Commission, in relation to those laid down in Council Directive 2008/55/EC (2). Therefore, it is appropriate to replace the existing implementing rules adopted by the Commission by a new implementing Regulation.

(2)	In order to ensure a fast communication between the competent authorities, detailed rules should be adopted with regard to the practical arrangements and the time periods for communication between the requested and the applicant authorities.

(3)	In order to ensure legal certainty, it is appropriate to specify that the validity of documents is not affected by the fact that they are transmitted electronically.

(5)	In order to ensure that appropriate data and information are transmitted, models of the standard form accompanying the request for notification and of the instrument permitting enforcement in the requested Member State should be established.

(6)	In order to ensure legal certainty, it is appropriate to state expressly the legal effect of the notifications made by the requested Member State at the request of the applicant Member State.

(7)

In order to ensure legal certainty, it is also appropriate to specify that the notification or communication of the uniform instrument permitting enforcement in the requested Member State does not have any effect on the consequences of the notification of the initial instrument permitting enforcement, and that the revised instrument permitting enforcement in the requested Member State does not have any effect on the initial claim or the initial instrument permitting enforcement.

(8)	Commission Regulation (EC) No 1179/2008 of 28 November 2008 laying down detailed rules for implementing certain provisions of Council Directive 2008/55/EC on mutual assistance for the recovery of claims relating to certain levies, duties, taxes and other measures (3) should be repealed.

In so far as initial instruments permitting enforcement for several claims in the applicant Member State have already been replaced by a global instrument permitting enforcement for all these claims in that Member State, the uniform instrument permitting enforcement in the requested Member State may be based on the initial instruments permitting enforcement in the applicant Member State or on that global instrument regrouping those initial instruments in the applicant Member State.

4. In order to enforce the claims for which recovery assistance is requested, the requested Member State may use the uniform instrument permitting enforcement in that Member State in its official language or in one of its official languages in accordance with its national law.

Article 17

The addressee of a request for recovery or precautionary measures may not rely on the notification or communication of the uniform instrument permitting enforcement in the requested Member State to claim a prolongation or a re-opening of the time period to contest the claim or the initial instrument permitting enforcement if that has been validly notified.

Article 18

1. If the currency of the requested Member State is different from the currency of the applicant Member State, the applicant authority shall express the amount of the claim to be recovered in both currencies.

2. The exchange rate to be used for the purposes of the recovery assistance shall be the last exchange rate published in the Official Journal of the European Union before the date the request is sent.

Article 19

1. The requested authority shall, as soon as possible or in any event within seven calendar days of receipt of the request for recovery or for precautionary measures, acknowledge the receipt of the request.

2. The requested authority may ask the applicant authority to provide additional information or to complete the uniform instrument permitting enforcement in the requested Member State, if required. The applicant authority shall provide all additional necessary information to which it normally has access.

Article 20

1. Where, with respect to the particularity of a case, all or part of the claim cannot be recovered or precautionary measures cannot be taken within a reasonable time, the requested authority shall inform the applicant authority thereof and state the reasons.

On the basis of the information received from the requested authority, the applicant authority may request the latter to re-open the procedure for recovery or for precautionary measures. That request shall be made within 2 months of the receipt of the notification of the outcome of that procedure, and shall be treated by the requested authority in accordance with the provisions applying to the initial request.

2. No later than at the end of each six-month period following the date of acknowledgement of the receipt of the request, the requested authority shall inform the applicant authority of the state of progress or the outcome of the procedure for recovery or for precautionary measures.

Article 21

1. Any action contesting the claim or the instrument permitting its enforcement which is taken in the Member State of the applicant authority shall be notified to the requested authority by the applicant authority immediately after the applicant authority has been informed of such action.

2. If the laws, regulations and administrative practices in force in the requested Member State do not permit precautionary measures or the recovery requested under the second and third subparagraphs of Article 14(4) of Directive 2010/24/EU, the requested authority shall notify the applicant authority thereof as soon as possible and in any event within 1 month of the receipt of the notification referred to in paragraph 1.

3. The requested authority shall notify any action taken in the requested Member State for reimbursement of sums recovered or for compensation in relation to recovery of contested claims under the third subparagraph of Article 14(4) of Directive 2010/24/EU to the applicant authority immediately after the requested authority has been informed of such action.

The requested authority shall as far as possible involve the applicant authority in the procedures for settling the amount to be reimbursed and the compensation due. Upon a reasoned request from the requested authority, the applicant authority shall transfer the sums reimbursed and the compensation paid within 2 months of the receipt of that request.

Article 22

1. If the request for recovery or for precautionary measures becomes devoid of purpose as a result of payment of the claim or of its cancellation or for any other reason, the applicant authority shall immediately inform the requested authority so that the latter may stop any action which it has undertaken.

2. Where the amount of the claim which is the subject of the request for recovery or for precautionary measures is adjusted by a decision of the competent body referred to in Article 14(1) of Directive 2010/24/EU, the applicant authority shall inform the requested authority of that decision and, if recovery is requested, communicate a revised uniform instrument permitting enforcement in the requested Member State. This revised uniform instrument permitting enforcement in the requested Member State shall be made by or under the responsibility of the applicant authority, on the basis of the decision adjusting the amount of the claim.

3. A revised uniform instrument permitting enforcement in the requested Member State does not have any consequences with regard to the possibilities to contest the initial claim, the initial instrument permitting enforcement in the applicant Member State or the decision referred to in the preceding subparagraph.

4. If the adjustment referred to in paragraph 2 entails a reduction in the amount of the claim, the requested authority shall continue its action to take recovery or precautionary measures, but that action shall be limited to the amount still outstanding.

If, at the time when the requested authority is informed of the reduction in the amount of the claim, an amount exceeding the amount still outstanding has already been recovered by it but the transfer procedure referred to in Article 23 has not yet been initiated, the requested authority shall repay the amount overpaid to the person entitled thereto.

5. If the adjustment referred to in paragraph 2 entails an increase in the amount of the claim, the applicant authority may address to the requested authority an additional request for recovery or for precautionary measures.

That additional request shall, as far as possible, be dealt with by the requested authority at the same time as the initial request from the applicant authority. Where, in view of the state of progress of the existing procedure, consolidation of the additional request with the initial request is not possible, the requested authority shall comply with the additional request only if it concerns an amount not less than that referred to in Article 18(3) of Directive 2010/24/EU.

6. In order to convert the amount of the claim resulting from the adjustment referred to in paragraph 2 into the currency of the Member State of the requested authority, the applicant authority shall use the exchange rate used in its initial request.

Article 23

1. The amounts that have to be remitted to the applicant authority, in accordance with Article 13(5) of Directive 2010/24/EU, shall be transferred to the applicant authority in the currency of the requested Member State.

The transfer of the recovered amounts shall take place within 2 months of the date on which recovery was effected.

However, if recovery measures applied by the requested authority are contested for a reason not falling within the responsibility of the applicant Member State, the requested authority may wait to transfer any sums recovered in relation to the applicant Member State’s claim, until the dispute is settled, if the following conditions are simultaneously fulfilled:

(a)	the requested authority finds it likely that the outcome of this contestation will be favorable to the party concerned, and

(b)	the applicant authority has not declared that it will reimburse the sums already transferred if the outcome of that contestation is favorable to the party concerned.

If the applicant authority has made a declaration to reimburse in accordance with point (b) of the third subparagraph, it shall return the recovered amounts already transferred by the requested authority within 1 month of the receipt of the request for reimbursement. Any other compensation due shall, in that case, be borne solely by the requested authority.

2. The competent authorities of the Member States may agree on different arrangements for the transfer of amounts below the threshold applied in accordance with Article 18(3) of Directive 2010/24/EU.

Article 24

Regardless of any amounts collected by the requested authority by way of the interest referred to in Article 13(4) of Directive 2010/24/EU, a claim shall be deemed recovered in proportion to the recovery of the amount expressed in the national currency of the Member State of the requested authority, on the basis of the exchange rate referred to in Article 18(2) of this Regulation.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1190/2011

of 18 November 2011

amending Regulations (EC) No 1730/2006 and (EC) No 1138/2007 as regards the name of the holder of the authorisation of the feed additive benzoic acid (VevoVitall)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1) and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Emerald Kalama Chemical BV has submitted applications under Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 proposing to change the name of the holder of the authorisation as regards Commission Regulation (EC) No 1730/2006 of 23 November 2006 concerning the authorisation of benzoic acid (VevoVitall) as a feed additive (2) and as regards Commission Regulation (EC) No 1138/2007 of 1 October 2007 concerning the authorisation of a new use of benzoic acid (VevoVitall) as a feed additive (3).

(2)	The applicant claims that, with effect from 26 May 2011, DSM Special Products BV was converted into Emerald Kalama Chemical BV which now owns the marketing rights for that additive. The applicant has submitted documents supporting its allegations.

(3)	The proposed change of the terms of the authorisation is purely administrative in nature and does not entail a fresh assessment of the additive concerned. The European Food Safety Authority was informed of the application.

(4)	To allow the applicant to exploit its marketing rights under the name of Emerald Kalama Chemical BV it is necessary to change the terms of the authorisations.

(5)	Regulations (EC) No 1730/2006 and (EC) No 1138/2007 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)	Since the modifications to the conditions of authorisation are not related to safety reasons, it is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which existing stocks may be used up.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In column 2 of the Table of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1730/2006, the words ‘DSM Special Products’ are replaced by ‘Emerald Kalama Chemical BV’.

Article 2

In column 2 of the Table of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1138/2007, the words ‘DSM Special Products’ are replaced by ‘Emerald Kalama Chemical BV’.

Article 3

Existing stocks which are in conformity with the provisions applying before the date of entry into force of this Regulation may continue to be placed on the market and used until 9 June 2012.

Article 4

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

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

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1191/2011

of 18 November 2011

amending Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 laying down rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards Member States’ notifications to the Commission in the milk and milk products sector

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 192(2) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Article 2(4) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 (2) provides that the ‘ex-factory price’ notified by the Member States to the Commission has to relate to the sales that have been invoiced in the reference period.

(2)

Whilst invoices are reliable official accountancy documents, restricting the source of prices only to invoices may prevent Member States from using other available reliable sources of prices. Depending on the product, these other available reliable sources of prices may better reflect the prevailing market situation. Therefore, the notification of prices resulting from contracts concluded in the reference period should also be allowed.

(3)

Practice has shown that the notification deadline for the monthly prices referred to in Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 is difficult to be met in several Member States and does not allow them to provide the Commission with definitive prices. The accuracy of the notified prices should be improved by an extension of the deadline.

(4)	It is appropriate to better describe the survey method used as regards the origin of the price data and the way that data should be collected by the competent authorities.

(5)	It is necessary to reconcile the information on the export licences notified by the Member States on monthly basis with that notified on a daily basis. Therefore, additional information is required in the monthly notifications.

(6)	Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 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 (EU) No 479/2010 is amended as follows:

(1)

Article 2 is amended as follows:

(a)	in paragraph 2, the introductory sentence is replaced by the following: ‘2. Not later than the 15th of each month and in respect of ex-factory prices recorded in the previous month for the products listed in Annex I.B, Member States shall notify to the Commission:’;

(b)

paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:

‘4. For the purpose of paragraphs 1 and 2, “ex-factory price” means the price at which the product is purchased from the enterprise, excluding taxes (VAT) and any other cost (transport, loading, handling, storage, pallets, insurance, etc.).

Member States shall ensure that the notified price is representative of the prevailing market situation. The notified price shall be based on the most adequate available source of information, namely on:

(a)	sales that have been invoiced in the reference period; and/or

(b)	contracts concluded in the reference period for deliveries within three months.’;

(2)

in Article 7(1), points (a) and (b) are replaced by the following:

‘(a)	the quantities, broken down by code of the export refund nomenclature for milk products, by destination code and date of lodging the application, covered by licence applications cancelled under the second subparagraph of Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009;

(b)	the unused quantities on licences expired and returned in the previous month and which have been issued since 1 July of the current GATT-year, broken down by code of the export refund nomenclature for milk products and by destination code;’;

(3)

point 3(c) of Annex II is replaced by the following:

‘(c)	the survey method: an indication shall be given from which stakeholders (producers, first buyers) the data are originating and by which way or method the data are collected;’.

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 December 2011.

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