91/311/EEC: Council Decision of 24 June 1991 providing medium-term financial assistance for Bulgaria

Official Journal L 174 , 03/07/1991 P. 0036 - 0037 Finnish special edition: Chapter 11 Volume 17 P. 0038  Swedish special edition: Chapter 11 Volume 17 P. 0038

COUNCIL DECISION  of 24 June 1991  providing medium-term financial assistance for Bulgaria  (91/311/EEC) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1), submitted following consultation with the Monetary Committee,  Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),  Whereas Bulgaria is undertaking fundamental political and economic reforms and has decided to adopt a market economy model;  Whereas the said reforms are already under implementation and their financial support from the Community will strengthen mutual confidence and bring Bulgaria closer to the Community;  Whereas, following the changes in the international environment, the Bulgarian economy is in deep recession and facing external shocks which might sharply deteriorate its balance of payments and weaken its precarious reserve position; whereas a  particularly heavy external debt burden makes the Bulgarian economy even more exposed to the said external shocks;  Whereas the Bulgarian authorities have requested financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Group of 24 industrial countries and the Community; whereas, over and above the estimated financing which could be provided by the IMF  and the World Bank, a financial gap of some ECU 580 million remains to be covered in 1991, in order to prevent a further erosion of Bulgaria's reserve position and avoid an additional degree of import compression, which could seriously jeopardize the  achievement of the policy objectives underlying the Government's reform effort;  Whereas the success of the reform process in Bulgaria will depend crucially on the solution of the acute debt problem which faces the country; whereas the grant to Bulgaria of medium-term financial assistance should be conditional upon the adoption by  the Paris Club of a rescheduling arrangement on Bulgaria's official debt and the adoption by Bulgaria's commercial bank creditors of a deferral arrangement on debt servicing payments;  Whereas the Commission, as coordinator of assistance from the Group of 24 industrial countries, has invited them and other third countries to provide medium-term financial assistance to Bulgaria;  Whereas the grant by the Community of a medium-term loan to Bulgaria is an appropriate measure to support that country's balance of payments and strengthen its reserve position;  Whereas the question of the risks associated with guarantees from the general budget of the European Communities will be examined in the context of the renewal in 1992 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and improvement of the  budgetary procedure;  Whereas the Community loan should be managed by the Commission;  Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 235,  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:  Article 1  1. The Community shall grant to Bulgaria a medium-term loan facility of a maximum amount of ECU 290 million in principal, with a maximum duration of seven years, with a view to ensuring a sustainable balance-of-payments situation and  strengthening the reserve position.  2. To this end, the Commission is empowered to borrow, on behalf of the Community, the necessary resources that will be placed at the disposal of Bulgaria in the form of a loan.  3. This loan will be managed by the Commission in full consultation with the Monetary Committee and in a manner consistent with any Agreement reached between the IMF and Bulgaria.  Article 2  1. The Commission is empowered to negotiate with the Bulgarian authorities, after consultation with the Monetary Committee, the economic policy conditions attached to the loan. These conditions shall be consistent with any agreements as  referred to in Article 1 (3) and with arrangements made by the Group of 24.  2. The Commission shall verify at regular intervals, in collaboration with the Monetary Committee and in close coordination with the Group of 24 and the IMF, that the economic policy in Bulgaria is in accordance with the objectives of this loan and that  its conditions are being fulfilled.  Article 3  1. The loan shall be made available to Bulgaria in two instalments. The first instalment shall be released as soon as:  - a 'Stand-by Arrangement' has been concluded between Bulgaria and the IMF;  - a rescheduling agreement on official debt has been concluded between Bulgaria and its Paris Club creditors;  - a deferral of the commercial debt servicing payments has been concluded between Bulgaria and its commercial bank creditors, and progress has been made with a view to concluding a long-term rescheduling agreement for this debt.  2. The second instalment shall be released after a period of at least two quarters, subject to Article 2 (2).  3. The funds shall be paid to the National Bank of Bulgaria.  Article 4  1. The borrowing and lending operations referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out using the same value date and must not involve the Community in the transformation of maturities, in any exchange or interest-rate risk, or in any other  commercial risk.  2. The Commission shall take the necessary steps, if Bulgaria so decides, to include in the loan conditions, and also to exercise, an early repayment clause.  3. At the request of Bulgaria, and where circumstances permit an improvement in the interest rate on the loans, the Commission may refinance all or part of its initial borrowings or restructure the corresponding financial conditions. Refinancing or  restructuring operations shall be carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in paragraph 1 and shall not have the effect of extending the average duration of the borrowing concerned or increasing the amount, expressed at the current exchange  rate, of capital outstanding at the date of the refinancing or restructuring.  4. All related costs incurred by the Community in concluding and carrying out the operation under this Decision shall be borne by Bulgaria.  5. The Monetary Committee shall be kept informed of developments in the operations referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 at least once a year.  Article 5  At least once a year the Commission shall address to the European Parliament and to the Council a report, which will include an evaluation, on the implementation of this Decision.

title: 2010/216/: Commission Decision of 14 April 2010 amending Directive 2009/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods and passengers by sea (Text with EEA relevance)

         COMMISSION DECISION
   of 14 April 2010
   amending Directive 2009/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods and passengers by sea
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   (2010/216/EU)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2009/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods and passengers by sea (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In the production of European Statistics there should be a balance between the needs of the users and the burden on respondents.

               (2)

               A technical analysis of the existing data collected under the European legislation on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods and passengers by sea and of the dissemination policy has been carried out at European level in order to propose possible technical solutions to simplify, as much as possible, the various activities necessary for the statistical production, while keeping the final output in line with present and foreseeable users’ needs.

               (3)

               As a result of this analysis, the existing quarterly statistics on passenger transport in the main European ports and the existing quarterly statistics on vessel traffic in the main European ports should be transmitted to the Commission (Eurostat) and disseminated on an annual basis, while the variable related to the classification dimension ‘nationality of registration of vessels’ in the existing quarterly statistics on passenger transport in the main European ports should be collected by Member States on a voluntary basis.

               (4)

               The nomenclature on the maritime coastal areas and the nomenclature on the nationality of registration of vessels need to be adapted to technical developments.

               (5)

               Directive 2009/42/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee, set up by Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2009 on European statistics (2),

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Annexes IV, V and VIII to Directive 2009/42/EC are replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.
   Article 2
   This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   The first reference year for the application of this Decision shall be 2009, covering the 2009 data.

            ANNEX VIII

               STRUCTURE FOR STATISTICAL DATA SETS

            The data sets specified in this Annex define the periodicity for the maritime transport statistics required by the Community. Each data set defines a cross classification of a limited set of dimensions at different levels of the nomenclatures, aggregated across all other dimensions, for which statistics of good quality are required.
            The conditions for collecting data set B1 shall be decided by the Council on a proposal from the Commission in the light of the results of the pilot study carried out during a 3-year transitional period, as provided for in Article 10 of Directive 95/64/EC and concerning the feasibility and the cost to Member States and to the respondents of collecting those items of information.

         DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
   of 12 March 2014
   amending Decision ECB/2013/35 on additional measures relating to Eurosystem refinancing operations and eligibility of collateral

      (ECB/2014/11)

      (2014/328/EU)

   THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first indent of Article 127(2) thereof,
   Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular the first indent of Article 3.1, Article 12.1, Article 14.3 and Article 18.2 thereof,
   Having regard to Guideline ECB/2011/14 of 20 September 2011 on monetary policy instruments and procedures of the Eurosystem (1) and Decision ECB/2013/6 of 20 March 2013 on the rules concerning the use as collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy operations of own-use uncovered government-guaranteed bank bonds (2),
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 18.1 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the national central banks of Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ’NCBs’) may conduct credit operations with credit institutions and other market participants, with lending being based on adequate collateral. The standard conditions under which the ECB and the NCBs stand ready to enter into credit operations, including the criteria determining the eligibility of collateral for the purposes of Eurosystem credit operations, are laid down in Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, as well as Decision ECB/2013/6 and Decision ECB/2013/35 (3).

               (2)

               Pursuant to Section 1.6 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, the Governing Council may, at any time, change the instruments, conditions, criteria and procedures for the execution of Eurosystem monetary policy operations.

               (3)

               On 17 July 2013, the Governing Council decided to further strengthen its risk control framework by adjusting the eligibility criteria and haircuts applied to collateral accepted in Eurosystem monetary policy operations and adopting certain additional measures to improve the overall consistency of the framework and its practical implementation. These measures were laid down in Decision ECB/2013/35.

               (4)

               In relation to the rating requirements for asset-backed securities, it is necessary to introduce further refinements to Decision ECB/2013/35, which should therefore be amended accordingly,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Amendment
   Article 6 of Decision ECB/2013/35 is amended as follows:

               1.

               paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:
               ‘2.   The credit quality threshold applicable to asset-backed securities, as laid down in Section 6.3 of Annex I to Guideline ECB/2011/14, shall correspond to Credit Quality Step (CQS) 2 of the Eurosystem's harmonised rating scale (“single A”) (4). All asset-backed securities shall have at least two credit assessments at a “single A” level from any accepted ECAI for the issue.

                  (4)  A “single A” rating is a rating of at least “A3” from Moody's, “A-” from Fitch or Standard & Poor's, or “AL” from DBRS.’;"

               2.

               paragraph 3 is deleted.

         Article 2
   Entry into force
   This Decision shall enter into force on 1 April 2014.

90/155/EEC: Commission Decision of 26 March 1990 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of tungsten metal powder originating in the People's Republic of China or the Republic of Korea

Official Journal L 083 , 30/03/1990 P. 0124 - 0127

*****COMMISSION  DECISION  of 26 March 1990  terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of tungsten metal powder originating in the People's Republic of China or the Republic of Korea  (90/155/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 9 thereof,  After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88,  Whereas:  A. PROCEDURE  (1) In July 1988 the Commission received a written complaint lodged by the EEC Liaison Committee for the Non-Ferrous Metal Industries on behalf of producers representing most of the Community production of tungsten metal powder.  The complaint contained evidence of dumping and consequent injury which was judged sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding.  In a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2) the Commission accordingly announced the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of tungsten metal powder falling within CN code 8101 10 00, originating in the People's Republic of China or the Republic of Korea.  (2) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting countries and the complainants.  It called on the parties concerned to reply to the questionnaires sent to them, and gave them the opportunity to make their views known in writing and request a hearing.  (3) All the Community producers on whose behalf the complaint was lodged replied to the questionnaires, made their views known in writing and requested and were granted hearings by the Commission.  (4) None of the three main Chinese export bodies, their 20 regional offices nor any of the eight Chinese producers to which the Commission sent the questionnaires returned them completed, even partially. However, the China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals and Chemicals Importers and Exporters, hereinafter referred to as 'the China Chamber of Commerce', made itself known to the Commission and informed it that it intended to reply to the questionnaires on behalf of all the Chinese exporters and producers referred to above. On two occasions the China Chamber of Commerce requested and obtained from the Commission an extension of its deadline in order to prepare a reply to the questionnaires. However, in lieu of a specific reply to the questionnaires, all that was received by the Commission was a general position paper.  The China Chamber of Commerce also requested and was granted a hearing, at which it put forward both general arguments and arguments relating to another intermediate tungsten product on which a separate anti-dumping investigation was being conducted.  None of the nine companies listed in the complaint as importers of tungsten metal powder originating in China replied to the questionnaires sent out by the Commission.  (5) The Korean producer and exporter Korea Tungsten Mining Co. Ltd (KTMC), of Seoul and Taegu, replied in full to the Commission's questionnaires on its own behalf and that of its sales offices in the Community.  KTMC also requested and was granted a hearing and made its views known in writing.  (6) Accordingly, the findings for those parties which failed to reply and did not make themselves known by any other means were made in accordance with Article 7 (7) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, on the basis of the facts available, namely the information supplied by the complainant and official Community statistics.  (7) The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary to reach a preliminary determination of dumping and consequent injury, obtained from those parties which had agreed to cooperate. To this end it carried out inspections at the premises of:  (a) Community producers  - Hermann C. Stark Berlin, GmbH & Co. KG, Duesseldorf and Goslar, Germany,  - Murex Ltd, Rainham, United Kingdom,  - Eurotungstène Poudres S.A., Grenoble, France;  (b) Korean producer/exporter  - Korea Tungsten Mining Co., Ltd (KTMC), Seoul and Taegu.  It also sought information from the producer in the reference country suggested by the complainant. Wolfram Bergbau- und Huettengesellschaft mbH of Vienna, Austria.  (8) The dumping investigation covered by the period 1 January 1988 to 30 September 1988.  This proceeding overran the one-year period laid down in Article 7 (9) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 because of the duration of Advisory Committee consultations.  B. THE PRODUCT; COMMUNITY INDUSTRY  (9) Tungsten metal powder is obtained by reduction of ammonium paratungstate (APT) or tungstic oxide (generally by exposure to hydrogen in furnaces). Various grades are marketed, depending on the size of the particles, for different purposes.  It is an intermediate product, falling within CN code 8101 10 00, used in the production of tungsten carbides or without further processing to produce certain parts such as electrical contacts.  According to the information gathered by the Commission, the product exported by China and Korea and that manufactured by the Community producers may be considered to be like products within the meaning of Article 2 (12) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.  (10) The Commission noted that during the reference period the Community producers on whose behalf the complaint had been lodged accounted for the bulk of Community production of tungsten metal powder.  The Commission therefore considered that the complainants did constitute the Community industry within the meaning of Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.  C. INJURY  1. Volume and market shares  (a) Republic of Korea  (11) In its reply to the questionnaire, KTMC quoted figures for the volume of its sales of tungsten metal powder in the Community which were slightly different from those for imports originating in Korea as published by Eurostat.  Bearing in mind the evidence relating to its sales of tungsten metal powder in the Community which KTMC provided during the inspection at its premises, the Commission considered that the figures for KTMC's actual deliveries to the Community between 1984 and 1987 and the first nine months of 1988 should be used, for the purposes of this investigation, in lieu of the Eurostat figures which were quoted in the complaint.  (12) On the basis, it appeard that imports of the product in question originating in Korea, which totalled 118 tonnes in 1986, fell to 58 tonnes during the reference period, i.e. a level below that of 1984, 1986 and 1987, adjusted on an annual basis.  The Commission considered that the share of the Community market held by the Korean imports should be assessed on the basis of the total quantities traded in the Community (i.e. Community industry's sales plus total imports originating in non-Community countries).  On this basis it appeared that the South Korean exporter's market share, which had stood at 5,8 % in 1984, has now fallen to less than 4 %.  (b) People's Republic of China  (13) According to the figures published by Eurostat, which are the best available for China, imports from China started in 1985 and totalled only 35 tonnes during the reference period.  In terms of market share, these imports amounted to less than 3 % of the total volume of tungsten metal powder traded over the whole period 1985 to 1988. (c) Other non-Community suppliers  (14) Imports originating in other non-Community countries remained stable between 1984 and 1988, averaging around 900 tonnes a year, and represent some 87 % of the total import market.  2. Prices  (15) Between 1985 and 1988 the Korean exporter reduced its selling price in the Community by 11 % - a small reduction compared to the general downturn in the prices of imported tungsten metal powder during the same period, which resulted in a drop of 28 %.  (16) Over the same period the Chinese exporters, taken as a whole, reduced their selling prices in the Community by over 28 %.  (17) To determine the price differential in the Community between tungsten metal powder from China or Korea and that produced within the Community, the Commission compared the average price of imports from China and the weighted average selling price of imports from Korea (at the free-at-Community-frontier duty-paid stage) and the weighted average selling price, not including transport, of the products sold by Community producers.  Through this comparison the Commission found that, for the Chinese exporters, price differentials during the reference period were as much as 19,5 %, but KTMC, the Korean exporter, had not undercut Community production prices.  3. Other economic factors to be taken into consideration  (a) Production  (18) The Commission found that Community output of tungsten metal powder, taking as a basis the index 1984 = 100, rose to 106 in 1985, fell to 96 in 1986 and 91 in 1987, and rose again to 107 during the reference period. These figures highlight the clear recovery of Community production, which in 1988 exceeded its 1985 level.  (b) Capacity utilization  (19) Calculated on the basis of the capacity actually available each year from 1984 to 1987 and during the reference period, the capacity utilization rate of Community producers fell between 1984 and 1987 from 86 % to 70 %, but rose sharply to 91 % during the first nine months of 1988.  (c) Sales  (20) Community producers' sales on the Community market, taking as a basis the index 1984 = 100, totalled 122 in 1985, 117 in 1986, 103 in 1987 and 126 during the first nine months of 1988 (figures for this period having been adjusted for the year). It should be noted that between 1985 and 1988 Community producers' sales did not fall below the 1984 level and that 1988 saw a sharp increase compared with the previous year.  (d) Market share  (21) The market share of the Community producers, calculated in the same way as those of China and Korea, fell slightly in 1986 and 1987 but improved during the reference period, rising above 1984 and 1985 levels.  (e) Profits  (22) The Commission found that the Community industry's financial results worsened slightly in 1986 but improved significantly during the reference period.  4. Conclusion  (23) In the light of all the abovementioned economic factors, the Commission reached the conclusion that during the investigation period imports of tungsten metal powder originating in China and Korea, taken individually or together, did not cause injury to the complainant.  D. THREAT OF INJURY  (24) Since the complaint was in part founded on the threat of injury which the imports in question were alleged to pose to the Community industry, the Commission considered whether a change of conditions likely to bring about a situation in which the alleged dumping would cause material injury was either likely or imminent.  (25) In this respect the Commission found that:  - in the case of China, the rate of increase of the imports in question had remained low and the quantities involved were very modest if compared, in particular, with those from other supplier countries not suspected of dumping,  - in the case of Korea, the imports in question, also modest, had tended to fall from 1987 onwards. (26) In these circumstances, the Commission considers that a change in the situation whereby the alleged dumping would cause injury is neither imminent nor, at this stage, a likely prospect.  E. DUMPING  (27) On the basis of the conclusions referred to above concerning injury and the threat of injury, the Commission did not consider it necessary to pursue its enquiry to ascertain whether the imports in question had been dumped.  F. TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING  (28) Accordingly, the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of tungsten metal powder originating in the People's Republic of China or the Republic of Korea should be terminated without protective measures being imposed.  (29) No objections to this conclusion were raised in the Advisory Committee.  (30) The complainant was informed of the facts and principal considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the proceeding and did not dispute the arguments,  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:  Sole Article  The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of tungsten metal powder originating in the People's Republic of China or the Republic of Korea is hereby terminated.
