72/144/EEC: Commission Decision of 22 March 1972 supplementing the Commission Decision of 3 April 1968 authorizing certain management measures to be taken within the framework of the common organization of agricultural markets

COMMISSION DECISION  of 22 March 1972  supplementing the Commission Decision of 3 April 1968 authorizing certain management measures to be taken within the framework of the common organization of agricultural markets  (72/144/EEC)  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing a Single Council and a Single Commission of the European Communities;  Having regard to the provisional rules of procedure of the Commission 1 of 6 July 1967, as amended by the Decision 2 of 2 July 1970;  Whereas by its Decision 3 of 3 April 1968, as last supplemented by its Decision 4 of 26 May 1971, the Commission instituted a system authorizing the adoption of certain management measures within the framework of the common organization of agricultural markets;  Whereas the reasons which led the Commission to introduce this system also apply to the fixing of the export levies referred to in Article 16 of Council Regulation No 1009/67/EEC 5 of 18 December 1967 on the common organization of the market in sugar;  Whereas Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2049/69 6 of 17 October 1969 laying down general rules for the denaturing of sugar for animal feed provides that denaturing premiums are fixed uniformly throughout the Community or as the result of an invitation to tender ; whereas in the latter case the invitation to tender must relate to the amount of the denaturing premium ; whereas to this end Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2049/69 provides for the fixing of a maximum amount or for a decision not to proceed with the invitation to tender;  Whereas in view of trade requirements the maximum amount of the denaturing premium for sugar and the uniform denaturing premium referred to in Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2049/69 must be fixed within a short period of time after the expiry of the time limit for the submission of tenders or after studying the factors of the market situation leading to the fixing or alteration of the uniform denaturing premium ; whereas the authorizing procedure should be used in these cases and the Decision of 3 April 1968 referred to above should be supplemented accordingly,  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:    Article 1 1. The following subparagraphs shall be added to Article 1 (1) (d) of the Commission Decision of 3 April 1968 authorizing certain management measures to be taken within the framework of the common organization of agricultural markets:  "- the uniform denaturing premium, the maximum amounts of the denaturing premium or the decision not to proceed with the invitation to tender provided for in Articles 2 (1) and 4 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2049/69 of 17 October 1969 laying down general rules for the denaturing of sugar for animal feed;  - the export levies provided for in Article 16 (5) of Regulation No 1009/67/EEC."  2. A reference to Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 258/72 shall be substituted for the reference to Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1987/69 in the third of Article 1 (1) (d) of the Decision referred to above.   Article 2 This Decision shall enter into force on 27 March 1972. It shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.     Done at Brussels, 22 March 1972.

      COUNCIL DECISION

   of 7 April 2008
   authorising Italy to apply, in determined geographical areas, reduced rates of taxation on gas oil and LPG used for heating purposes in accordance with Article 19 of Directive 2003/96/EC
   (Only the Italian text is authentic)
   (2008/318/EC)
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Directive 2003/96/EC of 27 October 2003 restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity (1), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               By Article 18(1) of Directive 2003/96/EC, read in conjunction with Annex II to that Directive, Italy was authorised to apply in certain ‘particularly disadvantaged areas’ reduced rates of excise duty on domestic fuel and LPG used for heating. The derogation was applicable until 31 December 2006.

               (2)

               By letter dated 17 October 2006 the Italian authorities requested authorisation, under Article 19 of Directive 2003/96/EC, to apply within the same geographical areas reduced rates of taxation on gas oil and LPG used for heating purposes. Italy wishes to continue, after 31 December 2006, its national practice followed under the abovementioned derogation. The present authorisation is requested for the period from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2012.

               (3)

               Italy has a very diversified territory with variable climate and geographical conditions. In 1999 Italy raised the general level of excise duties as part of a reform of its tax system. Taking into account the particularities of its territory, Italy at the same time introduced reduced rates of taxation for gas oil and LPG with a view to partially offset excessively high heating costs borne by residents in certain geographical areas.

               (4)

               The tax differentiation aims at putting the population of the eligible areas on a more comparable footing with the rest of the Italian population by means of reducing excessively high heating costs. For the purposes of identifying the eligible areas, Italy has based itself on objective criteria, concerning the climatic conditions of the area in question as well as access to the natural gas network. The latter criterion mirrors the degree of choice as between fuels, open to the population of the area concerned.

               (5)

               Thus, the tax reduction is applicable in geographical areas (communes) fulfilling the following alternative criteria: (i) communes falling within climate zone F as defined in the Presidential Decree No 412 of 1993 (2), that is communes with more than 3 000‘day degrees’; (ii) communes falling within zone E as defined in the Presidential Decree No 412 of 1993, that is communes with 2 100 to 3 000‘day degrees’ (3); and (iii) Sardinia and small islands (all Italian islands apart from Sicily). Since the development of the natural gas network would to an important extent reduce the additional heating costs and would in particular improve the variety of options between fuels, available to consumers, the reduction will no longer apply in communes belonging to the second and third areas mentioned once the natural gas network is completed in the commune concerned.

               (6)

               The common feature of the communes in question is the additional heating costs as compared to the rest of Italy. For climate zones E and F, the tax reduction equals on average 11 to 12 % of the price of gas oil and LPG for heating purposes. The average heating costs are, due to climate conditions, 90 % higher than the national average in climate zone E and 170 % higher than the national average in climate zone F. For the islands, the additional heating costs, as compared to mainland Italy, are due to the geographical particularities of the islands, restricted fuel supply and additional transport costs, and to the higher fuel prices as a consequence, as compared to mainland Italy.

               (7)

               The tax reduction remains in all cases below the additional heating costs borne by the population concerned, so that there is no overcompensation in the matter. In particular the Italian authorities have stated that the tax reduction does not go beyond the extra costs incurred in zones E and F due to the colder climate. Furthermore, as far as the islands are concerned, the authorities have stated that the tax reduction does not drive the price of the fuels in question below the price of the same fuel on the mainland.

               (8)

               The reduced rate of taxation remains both for gas oil and LPG higher than the Community minimum levels of taxation laid down in Directive 2003/96/EC.

               (9)

               The measure in question applies only to the heating of rooms (both for private individuals and businesses). It does not apply for other forms of business use of the said products.

               (10)

               The measure has been found not to distort competition or hinder the operation of the internal market and it is not considered incompatible with Community policy on the environment, energy and transport.

               (11)

               Italy should therefore be authorised, pursuant to Article 19(2) of Directive 2003/96/EC, to apply a reduced rate of taxation to gas oil and LPG used for heating purposes in certain geographical areas characterised by a high level of heating costs, as indicated in the Annex to this Decision, until 31 December 2012.

               (12)

               It should be ensured that Italy can apply the specific reduction to which this Decision relates seamlessly following on from the situation existing before 1 January 2007, under Article 18 of Directive 2003/96/EC read in conjunction with Annex II thereto. The authorisation requested should therefore be granted with effect from 1 January 2007,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Italy is hereby authorised to apply reduced rates of taxation to gas oil and LPG used for room heating purposes in certain geographical areas characterised by a high level of heating costs, as specified in the Annex.
   In order to avoid any overcompensation, the reduction must not go beyond the additional heating costs incurred in the areas in question.
   The reduced rate shall comply with the requirements of Directive 2003/96/EC, and in particular the minimum levels of taxation laid down in Article 9 thereof.
   Article 2
   Consumption in communes situated in the areas referred to in point 2 or point 3 of the Annex hereto shall be eligible only as long as the commune concerned lacks a natural gas network.
   Article 3
   This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2007 until 31 December 2012.
   Article 4
   This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.

      (2)  This decree divides the Italian territory into six climate zones (A to F). The classification is based on the unit ‘day degrees’ which represents for the conventional heating period the sum of daily average temperatures differing from the optimal 20 °C. The higher the number attributed to a commune, the lower is the average outside temperature during the heating period.

      (3)  The remaining climate zones are defined in terms of ‘day degrees’ as follows: Zone A (below 600), Zone B (above 600, but not exceeding 900), Zone C (above 900, but not exceeding 1 400) and Zone D (above 1 400, but not exceeding 2 100).

Over and above the financing from the IMF and the World Bank a substantial residual financing gap remains to be covered to comfort the country's foreign debt sustainability, strengthen the country's reserves position and support the policy objectives attached to the authorities' reform efforts.(8) The IMF, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development took the initiative in convening, on 20 April 2002, a ministerial meeting on an initiative in favour of the low-income countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), aiming at, inter alia, providing increased financial support on a concessional basis to the poorest countries of the CIS, including Moldova.(9) Moldova became eligible to highly concessional loans from the World Bank and the IMF, and is facing particularly critical economic, social and political circumstances.(10) In these circumstances and without prejudice to the powers of the budgetary authority, the Community macro-financial assistance to Moldova should be made available in the form of a grant, as an appropriate measure to help the beneficiary country at this critical juncture.(11) This assistance should be managed by the Commission.(12) The Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this decision, powers other than those of Article 308,HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:Article 11. The Community shall make available to Moldova macro financial assistance in the form of a straight grant with a view to ensure a sustainable balance-of-payments situation and strengthening the country's reserve position.2. The assistance shall amount to a maximum of EUR 15 million.3. The assistance will be managed by the Commission in close consultation with the Economic and Financial Committee and in a manner consistent with any agreement reached between the IMF and Moldova.Article 21. The Commission is empowered to agree with the Moldovan authorities, after consulting the Economic and Financial Committee, the economic policy conditions attached to the financial assistance. These conditions shall be consistent with the agreements referred to in Article 1(3).2. The Commission shall verify at regular intervals, in collaboration with the Economic and Financial Committee, and in coordination with the IMF, that economic policy in Moldova is in accordance with the objectives of this financial assistance and that its conditions are being fulfilled.Article 31.

Subject to the provisions of Article 2, the first instalment is to be released on the basis of a satisfactory track record of Moldova's macro-economic programme agreed with the IMF in the context of the present Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility or of any successor upper credit tranche arrangement.2.
