COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1827/2004

of 19 October 2004

fixing the olive yields and oil yields for the 2003/2004 marketing year

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats (1), and in particular Article 5(11) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 of 17 July 1984 laying down general rules on the granting of aid for the production of olive oil and of aid to olive oil producer organisations (2), and in particular the first indent of the second paragraph of Article 19 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 provides that the olive yields and oil yields referred to in Article 5(7) of Regulation No 136/66/EEC are to be fixed by homogeneous production zone on the basis of the figures supplied by producer Member States. These production zones were designated in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2138/97 (3). These yields should now be laid down taking into account the figures received.

(2)

Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 of 30 October 1998 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of production aid for olive oil for the 1998/99 to 2004/2005 marketing years (4) lays down a method for estimating yields in homogenous zones that takes account of the overall statistical results obtained on the basis of samples at the level of larger regional areas.

(3)

The statistical results for France, in view of its modest production levels, are obtained on the basis of a single regional area and a small sample that does not permit an accurate national figure to be obtained. Adjustment of the yields of the homogenous zones on the basis of the statistical results as provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2366/98 produced clearly inconsistent values for the 2003/2004 marketing year. The yields of the homogenous zones in France should therefore be fixed without making the adjustment concerned.

(4)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 2003/2004 marketing year, the olive yields and oil yields shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.

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 November 2003.

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

Done at Brussels, 19 October 2004.

of 21 October 2004

amending Regulation (EC) No 283/2004 and Regulation (EC) No 284/2004 as regards registration of certain imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film produced by one Brazilian exporting producer and produced by one Israeli exporting producer

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the basic anti-dumping Regulation) and in particular Articles 13 and 14(5) thereof and to Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 of 6 October 1997 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (2) (the basic anti-subsidy Regulation), and in particular Articles 23 and 24(5) thereof,

After consulting the Advisory Committee,

Whereas:

A. PROCEDURE

(1)	By Regulation (EC) No 2597/1999 (3) (the definitive anti-subsidy Regulation), the Council imposed countervailing duties ranging between 3,8 % and 19,1 % on imports of polyethylene terephthalate film (PET film) originating in India.

(2)	By Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 (4) (the definitive anti-dumping Regulation), the Council imposed anti-dumping duties ranging between 0 % and 62,6 % on imports of PET film originating in India.

(3)

On 6 January 2004, the Commission received a request, pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and to Article 23(2) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, from DuPont Teijin Films, Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH and Nuroll SpA to investigate the alleged circumvention of the anti-dumping and countervailing measures imposed on imports of PET film originating in India. According to the request, the circumvention practice consisted of transhipment of PET film originating in India via Brazil and via Israel to the Community. The request contained sufficient prima facie evidence regarding the factors set out in Article 13(1) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 23(1) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation.

(4)

The Commission initiated investigations into the alleged circumvention of countervailing measures by Regulation (EC) No 283/2004 (5) and of anti-dumping measures by Regulation (EC) No 284/2004 (6) (the initiating Regulations). Pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Articles 23(2) and 24(5) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, Article 2 of the initiating Regulations instructed the customs authorities to register imports of PET film consigned from Brazil and from Israel, whether declared as originating in Brazil or Israel or not, as of 20 February 2004.

(5)

Article 2(3) of the initiating Regulations provided that the Commission, by Regulation, may direct customs authorities to cease registration in respect of imports into the Community of products manufactured by producers having applied for an exemption of registration and having been found not to be circumventing the anti-dumping duties and the countervailing duties respectively.

B. REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION

(6)

Within the deadline laid down in Article 3 of the initiating Regulations, the Commission received requests for exemption from the registration and measures from one exporting producer in Brazil, Terphane Ltda, BR 101, km 101, City of Cabo de Santo Agostinho, State of Pernambuco, Brazil (Terphane) and from one exporting producer in Israel, Jolybar Filmtechnic Converting Ltd (1987), Hacharutsim str. 7, Ind. Park Siim 2000, Natania South, 42504. POB 8380, Israel (Jolybar).

C. INVESTIGATION PERIOD

(7)	The investigation period covered the period from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2003 (the IP). Data was collected from 1998 up to the IP to investigate any changes in the pattern of trade.

D. FINDINGS IN RESPECT OF TERPHANE

(8)	Terphane replied to the questionnaires sent by the Commission in the course of the investigation. The Commission carried out a verification visit at the premises of Terphane.

(9)

Terphane only exported 10,6 tonnes of PET film to the Community during the IP. The only export by the company prior to the one during the IP was for a small sample quantity which took place in 2002. No other exports to the Community were made by the company during the IP or in the period for which data were collected. Moreover, it has also been established that Terphane is a manufacturer and exporter of PET film, operating its own production facilities for the complete production process of the product concerned. The film supplied to the Community is manufactured by the company in facilities established before the entry into force of the measures on Indian PET film. The company has never purchased any PET film from India either during or prior to the IP. It is therefore considered that Terphane demonstrated that it did not circumvent the measures imposed on PET film originating in India.

E. FINDINGS IN RESPECT OF JOLYBAR

(10)	Jolybar replied to the questionnaire sent by the Commission in the course of the investigation. The Commission carried out a verification visit at the premises of Jolybar.

(11)

The sole cooperating company in Israel, Jolybar slits, sheets and converts purchased PET film and sells it as products which fall under the same CN codes as the product concerned but are generally not of Indian origin and therefore cannot be considered to be the product concerned. The company has been supplying PET film to the Community since the 1990s. The film supplied to the Community is manufactured by Jolybar in facilities established before the entry into force of the measures on Indian PET film. The quantities of PET film exported by Jolybar to the Community doubled from 1999 to 2003 (the IP). The company explained that as a general rule it does not supply Indian film to Community customers since the latter prefer the qualities of European film as a base material for treatment by Jolybar. Exceptionally, during the IP, a quantity of approximately 1 tonne of Indian film was shipped to one Community customer as part of a larger consignment which the customer urgently required. It is therefore concluded that there is sufficient economic justification for the change in the pattern of trade established for Jolybar, which is in line with its activities in the Community market in respect of PET film manufactured by them.

F. CONCLUSIONS

(12)	In the light of the above findings, registration of imports of PET film consigned from Brazil and produced by Terphane and consigned from Israel and produced by Jolybar should cease.

(13)

Any decision at this stage concerning exporters should be limited to exemption from registration. If the Council subsequently adopts Regulations extending the anti-dumping measures pursuant to Article 13 of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 23 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, it may also decide to exempt certain exporters from such extended measures.

(14)

The Commission therefore considers it appropriate to amend its initiating Regulations insofar as they provided for the registration of imports of PET film consigned from Brazil (whether declared as originating in Brazil or not) and for the registration of imports of PET film consigned from Israel (whether declared as originating in Israel or not).

(15)

This Regulation is based on findings specific to Terphane and Jolybar and does not prejudge any decision which the Council may take to extend the existing anti-dumping and countervailing measures on PET film originating in India to the same product consigned from Brazil (whether declared as originating in Brazil or not) and consigned from Israel (whether declared as originating in Israel or not),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The following paragraph shall be added to Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 283/2004:

‘Notwithstanding paragraph 1, imports of the product identified in Article 1 which are produced by the following companies shall not be subject to registration:

Jolybar Filmtechnic Converting Ltd (1987), Hacharutsim str 7, Ind. Park Siim 2000, Natania South, 42504, POB 8380, Israel	A570 ’

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1831/2004

of 21 October 2004

amending Commission Regulation (EC) No 930/2000 establishing implementing rules as to the suitability of the denomination of varieties of agricultural plant species and vegetable species

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/53/EC of 13 June 2002 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (1), and in particular Article 9(6) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/55/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of vegetable seed (2), and in particular Article 9(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Directives 2002/53/EC and 2002/55/EC lay down general rules in relation to the suitability of variety denominations, by means of a reference to Article 63 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2100/94 of 27 July 1994 on Community plant variety rights (3).

(2)	Commission Regulation (EC) No 930/2000 (4) established detailed rules for the application of certain criteria set out by Article 63 of Regulation (EC) No 2100/94, in particular in respect of the impediments to the designation of a variety denomination.

(3)

Due to developments in the area of protection of geographical indications and designation of origin for agriculture products, as laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 (5), and to changes in the proceedings before the Community Plant Variety Office as laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1239/95 (6), the detailed rules established by Regulation (EC) No 930/2000 should be updated accordingly.

(4)	Regulation (EC) No 930/2000 should therefore be amended.

(5)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 930/2000 is amended as follows:

In Article 2, the following paragraphs are inserted:

‘2. In the case of a geographical indication or a designation of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs as a prior right of a third party, a variety denomination in the territory of the Community shall be considered to be precluded where the variety denomination would breach Article 13 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 (*1) with respect to the geographical indication or the designation of origin protected in a Member State or in the Community under Articles 5(5), 6 or the former Article 17 of that Regulation for goods which are identical or comparable to the plant variety concerned.

3. An impediment to the suitability of a denomination due to a prior right referred to in paragraph 2 may be removed where a written consent of the holder of the prior right to the use of the denomination in relation to the variety has been obtained, provided that such a consent is not liable to mislead the public as to the true origin of the product.

(*1) OJ L 208, 27.7.1992, p. 1.’ "

2.	In Article 2, point 2 becomes point 4.

Article 3(1) is amended as follows:

(a)

Point (a) is replaced by the following:

‘(a)

where it is in the form of a “fancy name”:

(i)	it consists of a single letter,

(ii)

it consists of, or contains as a separate element, a series of letters not forming a word pronounceable in an official language of the Community; however, where this series is an established abbreviation, such an established abbreviation shall be limited to a maximum of two sets of up to three characters each, located at each end of the denomination,

(iii)

it contains a number, except where this is an integral part of the name, or where this indicates that the variety is or will be one of a numbered series of varieties related through their breeding history,

(iv)	it consists of more than three words or elements, unless the flow of the wording makes it easily recognizable or reproducible,

(v)	it consists of or contains an excessively long word or element,

(vi)	it contains a punctuation mark or other symbol, an upper and lower case mixture (save where the first letter is in upper case and the rest of the denomination in lower case), subscript, superscript or a design.’

(b)

In point (b), point (v) is replaced by the following:

‘(v)	it contains a punctuation mark or other symbol, subscript, superscript or a design.’

In Article 4, point (a) is replaced by the following:

‘(a)

“may be confused with” shall be considered to cover inter alia a variety denomination, containing a difference of only one letter, or of accents on letters, in relation to the variety denomination of a variety of a closely related species, which has been officially accepted for marketing in the Community, the European Economic Area or in a contracting party to the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV), or is the subject of a plant variety right in such territories. However, a difference of only one letter in an established abbreviation as a separate entity of the varieties denomination shall not be regarded as confusing. Also, where the different letter is prominent in a way that makes the denomination clearly distinct from already registered variety denominations, it shall not be regarded as confusing. Differences of two or more letters shall not be regarded as confusing except where two letters simply change places. A difference of one digit between numbers (where a number is permissible in a fancy name) is not to be regarded as confusing.

Without prejudice to Article 6, this provision shall not apply to a variety denomination in the form of a code, if the reference variety denomination is equally in the form of a code. In the case of a code a difference of only one character, letter or number shall be deemed to enable two codes to be satisfactorily distinguished. Blank spaces are to be ignored when comparing denominations in code form.’

5.	In Article 5, point (b) is deleted.

Article 6 is amended as follows:

(a)

In point (e), point (ii) is replaced by the following:

‘(ii)

the botanical or common names of species, within the group either of agricultural plant species or of vegetable plant species, to which the variety belongs.’

(b)	In point (e), point (iii) is deleted.

(c)

The following point (f) is added:

‘(f)	it includes a geographical name that would be likely to deceive the public as to the characteristics or the value of the variety’.

Article 2

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

It shall not apply to variety denominations which have been proposed by the applicant to the competent authority for their approval before the entry into force of this Regulation.

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

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

of 11 October 2004

on the monitoring of background levels of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in feedingstuffs

(notified under document number C(2004) 3461)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2004/704/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the second indent of Article 211 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Directive 2002/32/EC of 7 May 2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council on undesirable substances in animal feed (1) establishes maximum levels for dioxins in feed materials and compound feedingstuffs.

(2)

Although, from a toxicological point of view, the maximum level should include dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs, maximum levels have been set only for dioxins and furans and not for dioxin-like PCBs, given the very limited data available on the prevalence of the latter. The abovementioned Directive provides for a review of the maximum levels for the first time, by 31 December 2004 at the latest, in the light of new data on the presence of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs, in particular with a view to the inclusion of dioxin-like PCBs in the levels to be set.

(3)	Directive 2002/32/EC provides for a further review of the maximum levels by 31 December 2006 at the latest, with the aim of significantly reducing the maximum levels.

(4)

It is necessary to generate reliable data across the European Community on the presence of dioxin-like PCBs in the widest range of products intended for animal feed (as defined in Directive 2002/32/EC on undesirable substances in animal feed) in order to have a clear picture of the time trends in background presence of these substances in products intended for animal feed.

(5)	The relationship between the presence of dioxins, furans, dioxin-like PCBs and non-dioxin-like PCBs is important but to a large extent unknown. It is therefore appropriate to analyse the selected samples also for non-dioxin-like PCBs where possible.

(6)

Commission Recommendation 2002/201/EC of 4 March 2002 on the reduction of the presence of dioxins, furans and PCBs in feedingstuffs and foodstuffs (2) recommends that Member States perform random monitoring of the presence of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs in products intended for animal feed, proportionate to their production, use and consumption of products intended for animal feed. This monitoring should be carried out following detailed guidelines established by the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. These guidelines should contain provisions, inter alia concerning the minimum frequency and the format of reporting of the results, in order to ensure a high degree of uniformity across the European Community.

(7)	It is important that these data are reported on a regular basis to the Commission. The Commission will ensure the compilation of these data into a database which will be publicly available for consultation.

(8)

The Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia joined the European Community on 1 May 2004. It is appropriate that the new Member States participate in the monitoring programme as soon as possible. It is however acknowledged that it is appropriate to foresee a transitional arrangement for the new Member States and that for the time being no detailed minimum frequency for the random monitoring of the presence of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs in feedingstuffs is recommended for the new Member States,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

That Member States perform from the year 2004 onwards until 31 December 2006 the monitoring of the background presence of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs in products intended for animal feed using the recommended minimum frequency of samples to be analysed yearly, as foreseen in the table of Annex I as guidance. The frequency of the samples should be reviewed each year in the light of the experience gained.

That the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia participate as soon as possible in the monitoring programme on the presence of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs in feedingstuffs. The frequency of the samples to be analysed yearly by the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia will be established from the year 2005 onwards.

That Member States provide on a regular basis to the Commission the data with the information and in the format as foreseen in Annex II for compilation into one database. It is appropriate that data from recent years obtained by making use of a method of analysis complying with the requirements laid down by Commission Directive 2002/70/EC of 26 July 2002 establishing requirements for the determination of levels of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in feedingstuffs (3) and reflecting background levels are also provided.

4.	That Member States, if possible, also perform the analysis on non-dioxin-like PCBs in the same samples.

(*1) The Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia joined the European Community on 1 May 2004. It is appropriate that the new Member States participate in the monitoring programme as soon as possible. It is however acknowledged that it is appropriate to foresee a transitional arrangement for these new Member States and therefore no detailed minimum frequency for the random monitoring of the presence of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs in feedingstuffs is recommended for these countries.

ANNEX II

A. Explanatory notes to the form for analytical results of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs and other PCBs in feed

1. General information about the samples analysed

Country: Name of the Member State where the monitoring has been carried out

Year: The year the monitoring was carried out

Product: Feed item analysed — use, if possible, for feed materials the terminology of Council Directive 1996/25/EC of 29 April 1996 on the circulation and use of feed materials (1). In the case of compound feed the composition is very useful information.

Stage of marketing: Place where the product (sample) was collected

Expression of results: The results have to be reported on product basis. The results are to be expressed on the basis on which the maximum levels have been established (relative to a feedingstuff with a moisture content of 12 % — Directive 2002/32/EC). In case of the analysis of non dioxin-like PCBs, it is highly recommended to express the levels on the same basis.

Type of sampling: Random sampling — analytical results from targeted sampling can also be reported but it must be clearly indicated that the sampling was targeted and does not necessarily reflect normal background levels.

Methods: Refer to the method used

Accredited: Specify if the analytical method is accredited or not.

Uncertainty (%): The percentage of the measurement uncertainty embodied in the analytical method

2. Specific information about the samples analysed

Sample No: Number of samples of same kind of product analysed. If you have results of more samples than there are marked columns, just add new columns with number at the end of the form.

Method of production: Conventional/organic (as detailed as possible)

Area: In so far as relevant, district or region where the sample was collected, if possible with indication if it concerns rural area, urban area, industrial zone, harbour, open sea, etc. E.g. Brussels — urban area; Mediterranean — open sea

Number of subsamples: If the analysed sample is a pooled sample, the number of subsamples (number of individuals) should be notified. If the analytical result is just based on one sample, one should be notified. Number of subsamples in a pooled sample could vary, so please specify this for every sample.

Fat content (%): The percentage of fat content in the sample (if available)

Moisture content (%): The percentage of moisture content in the sample (if available)

3. Results

Dioxins, furans, dioxin-like PCBs: results of every congener should be reported in ppt — nanogram/kilo (ng/kg)

Non-dioxin-like PCBs: results of every congener should be reported in ppb — microgram/kilo (μg/kg)

LOQ: Limit of quantification in ng/kg or μg/kg (for non dioxin-like PCBs)

LOD: Limit of detection in ng/kg or μg/kg (for non dioxin-like PCBs)

For congeners analysed but below the LOD (limit of detection) the case of results should be filled in as < LOD (the LOD should be reported as a value). For congeners analysed but being below LOQ (limit of quantification) the case should be filled in as < LOQ (the LOQ should be reported as a value).

For PCB congeners analysed in addition to the PCB-7 and dioxin-like PCBs, the number of the PCB congener needs to be added to the form, e.g. 31, 99, 110, etc. If the sample is analysed for more PCB congeners than there are marked rows, just add new rows at the bottom of the form.

4. Remarks

Besides the lipid extraction method used, additional relevant remarks to the submitted data can be mentioned.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

of 11 October 2004

on the monitoring of background levels of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in foodstuffs

(notified under document number C(2004) 3462)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2004/705/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the second indent of Article 211 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)	Commission Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 of 8 March 2001 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (1), establishes maximum levels for dioxins in foodstuffs.

(2)

Although, from a toxicological point of view, the maximum level should include dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs, maximum levels have been set only for dioxins and furans and not for dioxin-like PCBs, given the very limited data available on the prevalence of the latter. The aforementioned Regulation provides for a review of the maximum levels for the first time, by 31 December 2004 at the latest, in the light of new data on the presence of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs, in particular with a view to the inclusion of dioxin-like PCBs in the levels to be set.

(3)	Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 provides for a further review of the maximum levels for dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs by 31 December 2006 at the latest with the aim of significantly reducing the maximum levels.

(4)	It is necessary to generate reliable data across the European Community on the presence of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs in the widest range of foodstuffs in order to have a clear picture of the time trends in background presence of these substances in foodstuffs.

(5)	The relationship between the presence of dioxins, furans, dioxin-like PCBs and non-dioxin-like PCBs is important but to a certain extent unknown. It is therefore appropriate to analyse the selected samples also for non-dioxin-like PCBs where possible.

(6)

Commission Recommendation 2002/201/EC of 4 March 2002 on the reduction of the presence of dioxins, furans and PCBs in feedingstuffs and foodstuffs (2), recommends that Member States perform random monitoring of the presence of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs in foodstuffs, proportionate to their production and consumption of foodstuffs. This monitoring should be carried out following detailed guidelines established by the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health. These guidelines should contain, in order to ensure a high degree of uniformity across the European Community, provisions, inter alia, concerning the minimum frequency and the format of reporting of the results.

(7)	It is important that these data are reported on a regular basis to the Commission. The Commission will ensure the compilation of these data into a database which will be publicly available for consultation.

(8)

The Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia joined the European Community on 1 May 2004. It is appropriate that the new Member States participate in the monitoring programme as soon as possible. It is however acknowledged that it is appropriate to provide a transitional arrangement for the new Member States and that for the time being no detailed minimum frequency for the random monitoring of the presence of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs in foodstuffs is recommended for the new Member States,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

That Member States perform, from the year 2004 onwards until 31 December 2006, the monitoring of the background presence of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs in foodstuffs using the recommended minimum frequency of samples to be analysed yearly, as foreseen in the table of Annex I as guidance. The frequency of the samples should be reviewed each year in the light of the experience gained.

That the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia participate as soon as possible in the monitoring programme on the presence of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs in foodstuffs. The frequency of the samples to be analysed yearly by the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia will be established from the year 2005 onwards.

That Member States provide, on a regular basis to the Commission, the monitoring data with the information and in the format as provided for in Annex II for compilation into one database. It is appropriate that data from recent years obtained by making use of a method of analysis complying with the requirements laid down by Commission Directive 2002/69/EC of 26 July 2002 laying down the sampling methods and the methods of analysis for the official control of dioxins and the determination of dioxin-like PCBs in foodstuffs (3) and reflecting background levels are also provided.

4.	That Member States, if possible, also perform the analysis on non-dioxin-like PCBs in the same samples.

Done at Brussels, 11 October 2004.

Remarks on the table () () () () () () ()

(*1) The Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia joined the European Community on 1 May 2004. It is appropriate that the new Member States participate in the monitoring programme as soon as possible. It is however acknowledged that it is appropriate to provide a transitional arrangement for these new Member States and therefore no detailed minimum frequency for the random monitoring of the presence of dioxins, furans and dioxin-like PCBs in foodstuffs is recommended for these countries.

(1) The figures mentioned in the table are minimum figures. Member States are invited to take more samples. The additional samples should be preferably taken from the categories of foodstuffs contributing significantly to the exposure: i.e. meat and meat products, fish and dairy products (farm milk).

(2) Meat and meat products: in addition to the mentioned categories, a number of samples should be taken from horsemeat, goatmeat, rabbitmeat and, to a limited extent, game.

(3) Fish and fishery products: the samples for wild fish and aquaculture should be divided over the species proportionate to the catch or production (for aquaculture). As guidance, the species-specific data on catch and production of fish and fishery products available in the brochure ‘Facts and figures on the CFP – basic data on the Common Fisheries Policy’, European Communities, 2004 can be used.

Using these data following numbers of samples to be taken for different fish species and fishery products can be given as guidance

Catches for Member States ≥ 10 samples recommended

Denmark: 15 samples

4 herring, 4 blue mussel, 7 other

Spain: 33 samples

7 skipjack tuna, 4 pilchard, 5 yellowfin tuna, 2 horse mackerel, 2 short-fin squid, 13 other

France: 18 samples

3 skipjack tuna, 3 yellowfin tuna, 2 pilchard, 2 saithe, 2 herring, 6 other

Netherlands: 14 samples

4 sardinellas, 2 horse mackerel, 3 herring, 2 mackerel and 3 other

Sweden: 10 samples

5 herring, 4 sprat and 1 cod

United Kingdom: 24 samples

6 mackerel, 4 herring, 3 haddock, 2 cod and 9 other

Aquaculture products for Member States ≥ 5 samples recommended

Denmark: 5 samples

4 trout and 1 eel

Germany: 5 samples

2 mussels, 2 trout and 1 carp

Greece: 7 samples

3 seabream, 2 seabass, 1 mussels and 1 other

Spain: 16 samples

8 mussels, 3 trout, 1 seabream, 1 oyster, 1 tuna and 2 other

France: 16 samples

8 oysters, 4 mussels, 3 trout and 1 carp

Italy: 14 samples

6 mussels, 3 clam, 3 trout, 1 seabass, 1 seabream

Netherlands: 7 samples

4 mussels, 1 eel, 1 oyster and 1 catfish

United Kingdom: 12 samples

9 salmon, 2 trout and 1 mussel

(4) Milk and milk products: at least four fifths of the milk samples should be taken from farm milk (mainly cow’s milk). It is also appropriate to take some additional samples of milk and milk products other than cow’s milk (goat milk etc.).

(5) Eggs: in addition to hen eggs, eggs of ducks, geese and quail should also be sampled.

(6) Oils and fats: it is appropriate that in addition to fish oil, also food supplements on the basis of fish oil (fish body oils and fish liver oils) are sampled.

(7) Vegetables: mainly leafy vegetables but also potatoes and other root and tuber vegetables.

Fruit: including berries and strawberries.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 15 October 2004

establishing the European Corporate Governance Forum

(2004/706/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Whereas:

(1)	Good and transparent corporate governance is essential for enhancing competitiveness and efficiency of businesses in the European Union as well as strengthening shareholders rights and third parties protection.

(2)

The Commission set up in September 2001 a high level group of company law experts to make recommendations on a modern regulatory framework for company law; the mandate of the high level group of company law experts was further extended to deal specifically with a number of corporate governance issues.

(3)

Following the presentation of the final report of the high level group of experts on company law on 4 November 2002, the Council invited the Commission to develop an Action Plan for company law and corporate governance; such an Action Plan should be in particular a considered response to recent corporate failures.

(4)

The Commission Action Plan on modernising company law and enhancing corporate governance in the European Union (1), adopted in May 2003 identified a series of actions that are required in order to modernise and simplify the regulatory framework, including the creation of the European Corporate Governance Forum.

(5)

On 22 September 2003 the Council welcomed the presentation of the Action Plan which it considered to be an important element of establishing a transparent and sound capital market in an enlarged Union; the Council endorsed the Commission’s recognition of the importance of expert and public consultation as an integral part of the development of company law and corporate governance at European level and took note of the Commission’s intention to set up a Forum on systems of corporate governance within the European Union.

(6)

The European Corporate Governance Forum should serve as a body for exchange of information and best practices existing in Member States in order to enhance the convergence of national codes of corporate governance as well as a body for reflection, debate and advice to the Commission in the field of corporate governance.

(7)	The European Corporate Governance Forum should draw up its own rules of procedure and fully respect the role and the prerogatives of the institutions (2),

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

An expert group on corporate governance in the Community, called the ‘European Corporate Governance Forum’ (hereinafter referred to as the Forum) is hereby established.
