COUNCIL DECISION
of 26 July 2010
on the signing and provisional application of an Agreement between the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway on an EEA Financial Mechanism 2009-2014, an Agreement between the European Union and Norway on a Norwegian Financial Mechanism for the period 2009-2014, an Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Iceland, concerning special provisions applicable to imports into the European Union of certain fish and fisheries products for the period 2009-2014, and an Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Norway, concerning special provisions applicable to imports into the European Union of certain fish and fisheries products for the period 2009-2014
(2010/674/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 217 in conjunction with Article 218(5) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The following financial mechanisms and cooperation programmes expired on 30 April 2009:
|
|
(2) |
The need to alleviate economic and social disparities within the European Economic Area persists. Therefore a new mechanism for the financial contributions of the EEA EFTA States and a new Norwegian financial mechanism should be established. |
|
(3) |
To this end, the Commission has negotiated, on behalf of the Union, an agreement with Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway on a new EEA financial mechanism for the period 2009-2014 as well as an annex to that agreement. The annex will take the form of a protocol, to be named Protocol 38b to the EEA Agreement. To the same end, the Commission has also negotiated, on behalf of the Union, an agreement with Norway on a new Norwegian financial mechanism for the period 2009-2014. |
|
(4) |
Subject to their conclusion at a later date, these agreements should be signed. |
|
(5) |
The special provisions applicable to imports into the Union of certain fish and fisheries products originating in Iceland and Norway, provided for in the following protocols, expired on 30 April 2009 and should be reviewed in accordance with Article 2 of each of those protocols:
|
|
(6) |
To this end, the Commission has negotiated, on behalf of the Union, new additional protocols to the free trade agreements respectively with Iceland and Norway, to lay down special provisions applicable to imports into the Union of certain fish and fisheries products originating in Iceland and Norway for the period 2009-2014. |
|
(7) |
Subject to their conclusion at a later date, these additional protocols should be signed. |
|
(8) |
The replacement of the existing financial mechanisms by new mechanisms, which relate to different time periods, different amounts of funds, and different implementing provisions, as well as the renewal and extension of the concessions relating to certain fish and fisheries products, taken as a whole, constitute an important development of the association with the EEA EFTA States, which justifies the recourse to Article 217 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. |
|
(9) |
Pending the completion of the procedures required for their conclusion, the Agreements referred to in recital 4 and the Protocols referred to in recital 7 should be applied on a provisional basis, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1004/2010
of 8 November 2010
of operating deductions from certain fishing quotas for 2010 on account of overfishing in the previous year
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy, amending Regulations (EC) No 847/96, (EC) No 2371/2002, (EC) No 811/2004, (EC) No 768/2005, (EC) No 2115/2005, (EC) No 2166/2005, (EC) No 388/2006, (EC) No 509/2007, (EC) No 676/2007, (EC) No 1098/2007, (EC) No 1300/2008, (EC) No 1342/2008 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1627/94 and (EC) No 1966/2006 (1), and in particular Articles 105(1) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Fishing quotas for the year 2009 have been established by:
|
|
(2) |
Fishing quotas for the year 2010 have been established by:
|
|
(3) |
According to Article 105(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, when the Commission has established that a Member State has exceeded the fishing quotas which have been allocated to it, the Commission shall operate deductions from future fishing quotas of that Member State. |
|
(4) |
Certain Member States have exceeded their fishing quotas for the year 2009. It is therefore appropriate to operate deductions from the fishing quotas allocated to them in the year 2010. |
|
(5) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 649/2009 (8) has operated deductions from fishing quotas for 2009 on account of overfishing of quotas in 2008. However, for certain Member States the deductions to be applied were higher than their respective 2009 quota and could therefore not be operated entirely in that year. To ensure that also in such cases the full amount be deducted, the remaining quantities should be taken into account when establishing deductions from 2010 quotas. |
|
(6) |
Deductions provided for by this Regulation should apply without prejudice to deductions applicable to 2010 quotas pursuant to:
|

Paragraph 2 of Article 105 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 provides that deductions from fishing quotas are to be operated by applying certain multiplying factors set out in that paragraph. |
|
(8) |
However, since deductions to be operated apply to overfishing that occurred in 2009 and thus at a time when Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 was not yet applicable, legal predictability concerns make it opportune to operate deductions that are not more stringent than those which would have resulted from the application of the rules in force at that time, namely the rules set out in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 847/96 introducing additional conditions for year-to-year management of TACs and quotas (11), |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The fishing quotas fixed in Regulations (EC) No 1226/2009, (EC) No 1287/2009, (EC) No 1359/2008 and (EU) No 53/2010 are reduced as shown in the Annex.
2. Paragraph 1 shall apply without prejudice to reductions provided for in Regulations (EC) No 147/2007 and (EC) No 635/2008.
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.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 8 November 2010
concerning the non-inclusion of certain substances in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market
(notified under document C(2010) 7579)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2010/675/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. |
|
(2) |
For a number of substance/product type combinations included in that list, either all participants have discontinued their participation from the review programme, or no complete dossier was received within the time period specified in Article 9 and Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 by the Member State designated as Rapporteur for the evaluation. |
|
(3) |
Consequently, and pursuant to Articles 11(2), 12(1) and 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the Commission informed the Member States accordingly. That information was also made public by electronic means. |
|
(4) |
Within the period of 3 months from those publications, a number of companies indicated an interest in taking over the role of participant for the substances and product-types concerned. However, those companies subsequently failed to submit a complete dossier. |
|
(5) |
Pursuant to Article 12(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the substances and product types concerned should therefore not be included in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC. |
|
(6) |
In the interest of legal certainty, the date should be specified after which biocidal products containing active substances for the product-types indicated in the Annex to this Decision shall no longer be placed on the market. |
|
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The substances indicated in the Annex to this Decision shall not be included for the product-types concerned in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC.
Article 2
For the purposes of Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, biocidal products containing active substances for the product-types indicated in the Annex to this Decision shall no longer be placed on the market with effect from 1 November 2011.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 8 November 2010.
