         COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2016/1341
   of 4 August 2016
   amending Decision (CFSP) 2016/849 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 29 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               On 22 April 2013, the Council adopted Decision 2013/183/CFSP (1), which replaced Decision 2010/800/CFSP (2) and, inter alia, implemented United Nations Security Council Resolutions (‘UNSCRs’) 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013) and 2094 (2013).

               (2)

               On 2 March 2016, the UN Security Council adopted UNSCR 2270 (2016) providing for new measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (‘DPRK’).

               (3)

               On 31 March 2016, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2016/476 (3) giving effect to these measures.

               (4)

               On 27 May 2016, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2016/849 (4), which replaced Decision 2013/183/CFSP and, inter alia, implemented UNSCRs 1718 (2006), 1874 (2009), 2087 (2013), 2094 (2013) and 2270 (2016).

               (5)

               UNSCR 2270 (2016) provides for the designation of additional goods to which prohibitions on the transfer, procurement and provision of technical assistance also apply. The Committee established pursuant to paragraph 12 of UNSCR 1718 (2006) considered a list of weapons of mass destruction-related items, materials, equipment, goods and technology to be identified and designated as sensitive goods.

               (6)

               Furthermore, the Council considers that the prohibition on the entry into ports of any vessel that is owned, operated or crewed by the DPRK should also apply to DPRK flagged vessels.

               (7)

               Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement the measures provided for in this Decision.

               (8)

               Decision (CFSP) 2016/849 should therefore be amended accordingly,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Decision (CFSP) 2016/849 is amended as follows:

               (1)

               (2)

               in Article 18, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
               ‘1.   Member States shall prohibit the entry into their ports of any vessel that is owned, operated, crewed or flagged by the DPRK.’.

         Article 2
   This Decision shall enter into force on the date following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

*****COMMISSION  DECISION  of 2 April 1990  accepting undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain welded tubes, of iron or non-alloy steel, originating in Yugoslavia and Romania  (90/166/EEC)  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,  After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for under Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88,  Whereas:  (1) By Regulation (EEC) No 3074/89 (2) the Commission imposed provisional anti-dumping duties on imports of welded tubes, of iron or non-alloy steel, originating in Yugoslavia and Romania.  (2) By Regulation (EEC) No 342/90 (3) the Council extended the provisional anti-dumping duty for a period not exceeding two months.  (3) Metalexportimport, the sole Romanian exporter and Zeljezara Sisak, a Yugoslav producer/exporter, were found to have dumped welded tubes of iron or non-alloy steel in the Community during the reference period (July 1987 to June 1988) and to have thereby caused injury to Community producers. To that extent the Commission refers to Council Regulation (EEC) No 868/90 (4).  (4) Metalexportimport and Zeljezara Sisak have, after the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, offered price undertakings in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.  (5) The effect of these undertakings will be to increase the export price of the products concerned to the Community to an extent sufficient to eliminate the injury caused to the Community industry. The Commission therefore considers the undertakings offered acceptable.  (6) The Advisory Committee has been consulted in this course of action and has raised no objection.  (7) The Council has decided in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 868/90 on the collection of the amounts secured by way of provisional duty,  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:  Sole Article  The undertakings offered by  - Metalexportimport, Bucarest, Romania and  - Zeijezara Sisak, Sisak, Yugoslavia  in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning certain welded tubes, of iron or non-alloy steel, falling within CN codes 7306 30 51, 7306 30 59, ex 7306 30 71 (Taric code 7306 30 71*90), ex 7306 30 79 (Taric code 7306 30 79*90), originating in Yugoslavia and Romania, are hereby accepted.

         EXCHANGE OF LETTERS
   concerning the extension of the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and the Government of Indonesia on the tasks, status, privileges and immunities of the European Union Monitoring Mission in Aceh (Indonesia) (Aceh Monitoring Mission — AMM) and its personnel
   Jakarta, 5 May 2006
   Dear Excellency,
   On behalf of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, I would like to express my appreciation to the European Union for its participation in the Aceh Monitoring Mission (AMM) and for its remarkable works that have been carried out since its deployment in the Province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD).
   At this juncture, I have the honour to refer to the letter and its Annexes of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia ad interim dated 14 September 2005 and your letter and its Annexes dated 3 October 2005 regarding the tasks, status, privileges and immunities of the Aceh Monitoring Mission (AMM) and the letter of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia dated 13 February 2006 and your reply dated 28 February 2006 regarding the extension of the European Union's presence in NAD until 15 June 2006.
   In that regard, I have the honour to convey to you the decision of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to another time invite the European Union to extend its presence in NAD for a period from 16 June 2006 until 15 September 2006.
   The status, privileges and immunities of the AMM will be identical to those stipulated in our exchange of letters respectively dated 14 September 2005 and 3 October 2005 constituting legally binding instrument between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the European Union.
   The works of the AMM during this period will include the tasks of AMM as stipulated in Article 5.2 of the Memorandum of Understanding Between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement 15 August 2005, except tasks (a) and (b) that have been completed.
   If the foregoing proposal is acceptable to the European Union, I have further the honour to propose that this letter as well as your affirmative letter in reply together constitute a legally binding instrument between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the European Union. This instrument shall enter into force on 16 June 2006 and be terminated on 15 September 2006. For the Government of the Republic of Indonesia this legal framework is based on Indonesian Law No 2 of 1982 dated 25 January 1982 concerning the Ratification of Convention on Special Mission, 1969.
   I believe that the constructive cooperation that has been established, with a view to providing a peaceful, comprehensive and sustainable solution to the challenges facing Aceh, within the framework of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, can be further sustained and strengthened.
   I look forward to your positive consideration.
   Yours sincerely,

         Dr. N. Hassan Wirajuda

   Brussels,
   Dear Excellency,
   I have the honour to refer to your letter of 5 May 2006 in which you convey to us the decision of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to invite the European Union to extend its presence in the Province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) for a period of three months from 16 June 2006 until 15 September 2006.
   I am pleased to confirm to you that the European Union has agreed to respond positively to this invitation.
   I confirm that, in accordance with the terms of our exchange of letters respectively dated 14 September 2005 and 3 October 2005 constituting a legally binding instrument between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the European Union, this instrument will be extended until 15 September 2006.
   The work of the AMM during this period will include the tasks of the AMM as stipulated in Article 5.2 of the Memorandum of Understanding Between the Government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement of 15 August 2005, except tasks (a) and (b) which have been completed.
   I have further the honour to confirm that your letter and this letter in reply constitute a legally binding instrument between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the European Union. This instrument shall enter into force on 16 June 2006 and be terminated on 15 September 2006.
   May I once more take this opportunity to record the EU's appreciation of the progress made in the Aceh peace process and to reaffirm the European Union's continued commitment to supporting the development of a peaceful, comprehensive and sustainable solution to the challenges facing Aceh.
   Please accept, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration.
   Yours sincerely,

         Javier Solana

   of 5 May 2010
   with observations forming an integral part of its Decision on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control for the financial year 2008
   THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT,
   having regard to the final annual accounts of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control for the financial year 2008,

   having regard to the Council’s recommendation of 16 February 2010 (5827/2010 — C7-0061/2010),
   having regard to Article 276 of the EC Treaty and Article 319 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   having regard to Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (2), and in particular Article 185 thereof,
   having regard to Regulation (EC) No 851/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 establishing a European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (3), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
   having regard to Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2343/2002 of 19 November 2002 on the framework Financial Regulation for the bodies referred to in Article 185 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (4), and in particular Article 94 thereof,
   having regard to Rule 77 of, and Annex VI to, its Rules of Procedure,
   having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Control and the opinion of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (A7-0104/2010),

               A.

               whereas the Court of Auditors states that it has obtained reasonable assurances that the annual accounts for the financial year 2008 are reliable, and the underlying transactions are legal and regular,

               B.

               whereas on 23 April 2009 Parliament granted the Director of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control discharge in respect of the implementation of the Centre’s budget for the financial year 2007 (5), and in its resolution accompanying the discharge decision, inter alia:

                           —

                           noted that the Centre’s budget increased from EUR 17 100 000 in 2006 to EUR 28 900 000 in 2007,

                           —

                           noted that, in 2006, the carry-over rate was nearly 45 %, and that no major improvement was made in 2007, when it was close to 43 %, which showed the Centre’s difficulties in implementing its budget,

                           —

                           noted the Court of Auditors’ observation that the level of budget amendments had revealed weaknesses in the monitoring of budget implementation,

               1.

               Expresses its satisfaction with the successful fifth year of operation of the Centre; notes that the Centre’s budget increased from EUR 17 100 000 in 2006 to EUR 28 900 000 in 2007 and to EUR 40 700 000 in 2008;

      Performance

               2.

               Consequently, notes that the Centre consolidated its public health functions, enhanced the capacities of its disease-specific programmes, further developed partnerships and improved its managerial structures;

               3.

               Calls on the Centre to set out, in a table to be annexed to the Court of Auditors’ next report, a comparison of operations carried out during the year for which discharge is to be granted and in the previous financial year, so as to enable the discharge authority to assess its performance more effectively from one year to the next;

      Carry-over of appropriations

               4.

               Notes that the Court of Auditors points out that about EUR 16 200 000 (representing 40 % of the Centre’s total budget) have had to be carried over; is consequently concerned that this situation is at odds with the principle of annuality and shows weaknesses in the programming and subsequent implementation of the Centre’s budget;

               5.

               Notes that the Centre’s accounts for the financial year 2008 show income from interest of EUR 313 000 and that, in accordance with the Financial Regulation, a sum of EUR 307 000 had to be paid back to the Commission; concludes from the annual closure of accounts and the amount of interest payments that the Centre maintains enormously high cash reserves over long periods; notes that as of 31 December 2008 the Centre’s cash reserves amounted to EUR 16 705 090,95; calls on the Commission to examine ways of ensuring that the principle of needs-based cash management, as laid down in Article 15(5) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2343/2002, is implemented in full and what changes in approach are needed to ensure that the Centre’s cash reserves are kept as low as possible on a long-term basis;

               6.

               Takes note of the Centre’s efforts to conclude procurement and contracting activities initiated in 2008 early in 2009 so as to lower the carry-over level;

      The Centre’s seat

               7.

               Is concerned that as of 31 December 2008 there was still no seat agreement between the Centre and the Swedish Government as there were still many outstanding issues that needed further negotiation; points out that in its discharge for the financial year 2007, the discharge authority was already expressing concern at the Court of Auditors’ observation that the Centre had disbursed EUR 500 000 on renovation works on the buildings rented for its premises, and that, as in 2006, these works had been decided upon by direct agreement between the Centre and the owner without specifying the nature of the works and the deadlines and payment conditions; nevertheless welcomes the fact that an agreement was concluded in March 2009 on personal identity numbers and supports the Centre’s efforts to find definitive solutions with the Swedish government;

               8.

               Reminds the interinstitutional working group on decentralised agencies to address this issue in general terms in its discussions;

      Human resources

               9.

               Points out that there are still weaknesses in the planning of recruitment procedures; is concerned, in particular, that by the end of 2008 only 101 of the 130 posts authorised had been filled;

               10.

               Notes the efforts made to implement the authorised establishment plan of 130 posts in 2008; welcomes the recruitment of 54 additional staff (temporary agents, contract agents and seconded national experts), resulting in 101 occupied posts by the end of 2008, which will help to ensure the operability of the Centre and enable it to achieve the tasks assigned to it; regrets the fact that 16 recruitment procedures needed to be re-advertised; supports the Centre’s measures to improve the situation; welcomes the Centre’s revision of its internal organisation;

      Internal audit

               11.

               Deplores the fact that the Centre has not comprehensively fulfilled its obligation to send to the authority responsible for discharge a report drawn up by its Director summarising the number of internal audits conducted by the internal auditor as provided for in Article 72(5) of the framework Financial Regulation; acknowledges, nevertheless, that the Centre gave some information on the six recommendations still open, which are considered to be ‘very important’ by the Commission’s Internal Audit Service; notes that these affect the quality of management (as regards scientific advice, health communication and strengthening the current procedure for urgent risk/threat assessment), follow-up action in respect of certain internal control standards (such as the setting-up of financial circuits) and the implementation of other internal control standards (such as identifying weaknesses and structuring the annual Activity Report);

               12.

               Refers, for other observations accompanying its Decision on discharge, which are of a horizontal nature, to its resolution of 5 May 2010 (6) on the performance, financial management and control of the agencies.

88/226/EEC: Commission Decision of 18 April 1988 terminating the investigation under Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 concerning certain typewriters assembled or produced in the Community with regard to TEC Elektronik-Werk GmbH and Brother Industries (UK) Ltd

Official Journal L 101 , 20/04/1988 P. 0026 - 0027

*****COMMISSION  DECISION  of 18 April 1988  terminating the investigation under Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 concerning certain typewriters assembled or produced in the Community with regard to TEC Elektronik-Werk GmbH and Brother Industries (UK) Ltd  (88/226/EEC)  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports form countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1761/87 (2), and in particular Article 13 (10) thereof,  After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,  Whereas:  A. Procedure  (1) In July 1987, the Commission received a complaint lodged by CETMA, the Committee of European Typewriter Manufactures, on behalf of French, German and Italian producers of electronic typewriters whose collective output constitutes practically all Community production of the product in question. The complaint contained sufficient evidence to the effect that following the opening of the investigation on electronic typewriters originating in Japan (3), which led to the adoption of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85 (4) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of those products, a number of companies were assembling electronic typewriters in the Community under the conditions referred to in Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84. After consultations, the Commission accordingly announced, by notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (5), the initiation of an investigation, under the said Article 13 (10), concerning electronic typewriters assembled in the Community by the following companies:  - Silver Reed International (Europe) Ltd, Watford, United Kingdom  - Brother Industries (UK) Ltd, Wrexham, United Kingdom  - Kyushu Matsushita (UK) Ltd, Newport, United Kingdom  - Sharp Manufacturing Company of UK Ltd, Wrexham, United Kingdom  - Canon Bretagne SA, Liffré, France  - TEC Elektronik-Werk GmbH, Braunschweig, Germany.  (2) The Commission so advised the companies concerned, the representatives of Japan and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known thier views in writing and to request a hearing.  (3) All the companies concerned as well as the complainants made their views knows in writing, requested and were granted hearings by the Commission.  (4) No submissions were made by purchases of electronic typewriters assembled in the Community. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of the assessmant of the character of the alleged assembly operations and carried out investigations at the premised of the following companies:  - Astec Europe Ltd, Stourbridge, United Kingdom  - Brother Industries (UK) Ltd, Wrexham, United Kingdom  - Canon Bretagne SA, Liffré, France  - Kyushu Matsushita (UK) Ltd, Newport, United Kingdom  - Sharp Manufacturing Company of UK Ltd, Wrexham, United Kingdom.  Furthermore, the Commission carried out an investigation at the premises of a supplier of subassemblies to some of the companies involved. Because it is not directly involved in this investigation, this company requested that its name be withheld. Given the circumstances, this request appears to be justified.  (5) The period of investigation was form 1 January to 31 July 1987.  B. Relationship or association with exporter  (6) All companies referred to under point 1 were found to be wholly owned subsidiaries of Japanese exporters of electronic typewriters which are subject to the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85.  C. Production  (7) All companies started their assembly operations after the initiation of the anti-dumping proceeding concerning the imports of electronic typewriters originating in Japan on 24 March 1984.  TEC Elektronik-Werk GmbH  (8) TEC ceased assembling electronic typewriters in the Community before the beginning of the investigation.  D. Parts  (9) The value of parts used in the assembly was generally determined on the basis of the companies' purchase prices of these parts when delivered to the factories in the Community.  (10) It was found that, for all companies referred to under point 1, except TEC and Brother, the weighted average value of Japanese parts for all models produced was more than 60 % of the total value of parts. Consequently and after taking into consideration the circumstances of each case, the extension of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85 to certain typewriters assembled in the Community by these companies referred to under point 1 except TEC and Brother.  Brother Industries (UK) Ltd  (11) Brother requested that cif values be used. This request had to be rejected since the relevant value is that of the parts and materials as they are used in the assembly operations, that is on an into-factory, duty-paid basis.  (12) Brother claimed that some subassembled items which were used for some models were of Community origin. It was found that these items were assembled in the Community, partly from parts imported from Japan. After investigation, it was concluded that some of these subassemblies did not fulfil the conditions of Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 (1). The assembly operation carried out in the Community was of an unsubstantial nature compared with the manufacture of the components which was performed in Japan. These items thus not of Community origin.  (13) It was found however, that the weighted average value of Japanese parts for all models produced by Brother was less than 60 % of the total value of parts.  E. Termination of the investigation  (14) In these circumstances, therefore, the investigation should be terminated without the extension of the anti-dumping duty with regard to TEC-Elektronik GmbH and Brother Industries (UK) Ltd.  (15) No objections to this course were raised in the Advisory Committee.  (16) The complainant was informed of the facts on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the investigation and did not comment,  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:  Sole Article  The investigation under Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 concerning electronic typewriters, whether or not incorporating calculating mechanisms falling within CN codes 8469 10 00, ex 8469 21 00, ex 8469 29 00 and ex 8470 90 00, originating in Japan, is hereby terminated with regard to TEC Elektronik-Werk GmbH and Brother Industries (UK) Ltd.
