PROCEDURE (1) On 28 May 1997, the Commission received a complaint concerning alleged injurious dumping by imports into Italy of certain flat-rolled narrow strips, of iron or non-alloy steel, cold-rolled, originating in Russia.(2) The complaint was lodged by the Italian Narrow Cold-Rolled Strips Producers Association (Federacciai), on behalf of Italian producers whose collective output was alleged to represent the quasi-totality of Italian production of cold-rolled narrow strips.(3) The complaint contained evidence of dumping by the imports concerned and of material injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding.(4) The Commission, after consultation, accordingly announced in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (3) the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into Italy of certain flat-rolled narrow strips, of iron or non-alloy steel, cold-rolled, currently classifiable within CN codes 7211 23 99, 7211 29 50, 7211 29 90 and ex 7211 90 90 and originating in Russia.(5) The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainant Community producers. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING (6) By letter of 12 September 1997 to the Commission, Federacciai formally withdrew its complaint concerning imports into Italy of certain flat-rolled narrow strips, of iron or non-alloy steel, cold-rolled, originating in Russia in view of the current market situation concerning this product.(7) Interested parties were informed that, under these circumstances, the Commission intends to terminate the proceeding, and were given the opportunity to comment. None of them raised any objection.(8) The Commission considers therefore that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into Italy of certain flat-rolled narrow strips, of iron or non-alloy steel, cold-rolled, originating in Russia, should be terminated without the imposition of protective measures, and that such a termination would not be against the interest of the Community.HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:Sole Article The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into Italy of certain flat-rolled narrow strips, of iron or non-alloy steel, cold-rolled, originating in Russia is hereby terminated.Done at Brussels, 12 February 1998.For the CommissionLeon BRITTANVice-President(1) OJ L 56, 6. 3. 1996, p. 1.(2) OJ L 317, 6. 12. 1996, p. 1.(3) OJ C 211, 12. 7. 1997, p. 3.

title: Decision (EU) 2016/1717 of the European Central Bank of 21 September 2016 amending Decision ECB/2004/2 adopting the Rules of Procedure of the European Central Bank (ECB/2016/27)

               L 258/17

         DECISION (EU) 2016/1717 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK
   of 21 September 2016
   amending Decision ECB/2004/2 adopting the Rules of Procedure of the European Central Bank (ECB/2016/27)
   THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,
   Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 12.3 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Legal instruments addressed to national central banks (NCBs) and to national competent authorities (NCAs), such as European Central Bank (ECB) guidelines and instructions, need to be properly notified to their addressees. Today, the commonly accepted practice for notifications between the ECB, on the one hand, and the NCBs or NCAs, on the other, is use of electronic means including email. In contrast, telex has become obsolete as a means of communication due to technological developments.

               (2)

               In the past two years, the ECB has adopted many decisions addressed to supervised entities or entities which have applied for authorisation to take up the business of a credit institution. Equally, the ECB has adopted decision imposing sanctions on third parties. Although primary law does not prescribe this, the ECB Rules of Procedure currently require the ECB President to sign these types of ECB decisions with addressees.

               (3)

               In the future, ECB decisions addressed to supervised entities or entities which have applied for authorisation to take up the business of a credit institution and decisions imposing sanctions on third parties should be signed by the Secretary of the Governing Council in order to certify the conformity with the Governing Council's decision.

               (4)

               Given the significantly increased volume of supervisory decisions, the amendment should be adopted as a matter of urgency and enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

               (5)

               Therefore, Decision ECB/2004/2 (1) should be amended accordingly,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

               L 37/8

         COUNCIL DECISION (EURATOM) 2015/224
   of 10 February 2015
   amending Decision 2007/198/Euratom establishing the European Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy and conferring advantages upon it
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular the third paragraph of Article 47 and Article 50 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Council Decision 2007/198/Euratom (1) established the European Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy (‘Joint Undertaking’) in order to make available the contribution of the European Atomic Energy Community (‘Euratom’) to the ITER International Fusion Energy Organisation and to the Broader Approach Activities with Japan, as well as to prepare and coordinate a programme of activities in preparation for the construction of a demonstration fusion reactor and related facilities.

               (2)

               Decision 2007/198/Euratom was amended by Council Decision 2013/791/Euratom (2) for the purpose of allowing the financing of the activities carried out by the Joint Undertaking during the period 2014-20.

               (3)

               In its conclusions of 12 July 2010 on the Commission's Communication ‘ITER status and possible way forward’, the Council requested the Commission to examine and address the way in which the Commission, the Member States and the Joint Undertaking should implement their responsibilities and tasks on ITER.

               (4)

               A detailed list of actions was identified in the Commission's Staff Working Paper ‘Towards a robust management and governance of the ITER project’ issued on 9 November 2010, to be undertaken either at the international level, mainly by the ITER Organization, or at the European level, mainly by the Joint Undertaking.

               (5)

               Following the accession of Croatia to the Union on 1 July 2013, it is necessary to amend the Statutes of the Joint Undertaking in order to grant Croatia voting rights in the Governing Board of the Joint Undertaking. Further amendments to those Statutes are required in order to improve the management and the governance of the Joint Undertaking. In order to take into account the amendments to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon, it is also necessary to update the reference to the provisions on the Court of Justice of the European Union.

               (6)

               In accordance with the Statutes of the Joint Undertaking, the Governing Board of the Joint Undertaking approved the amendments to Decision 2007/198/Euratom proposed by the Commission.

               (7)

               An Administration and Management Committee should be established to prepare opinions and recommendations for the adoption of key documents by the Governing Board. That Committee should also provide advice or recommendations on specific administrative and financial issues upon request of the Director or of the Governing Board. The Governing Board should have the power to delegate tasks to that Committee. Any Member of the Joint Undertaking should have the right to nominate a representative to serve on that Committee.

               (8)

               A Procurement and Contracts Committee should be established to give recommendations to the Director of the Joint Undertaking on the award of contracts, grants and related matters. Members of that Committee should be nominated to serve in a personal capacity by the Governing Board.

               (9)

               A Bureau should be established to assist the Governing Board in the preparation of its decisions. The Governing Board should have the power to delegate tasks to the Bureau. The members of the Bureau should be the Chair of the Governing Board, the Chairs of the Governing Board Committees, a representative of Euratom and a representative of the ITER host State (France). The Governing Board should be entitled to appoint additional persons to the Bureau.

               (10)

               In accordance with Article 17 of the Treaty on European Union, the Commission is to ensure the application of the Treaties, and of measures adopted by the institutions pursuant to them. Therefore, the rights of the Commission should be strengthened to ensure consistency of the decisions of the Governing Board with Community law.

               (11)

               It is desirable to consolidate designated organisations in the field of scientific and technological fusion research as a network to provide stable and long-term research and development support to the Joint Undertaking, based on the knowledge and know-how developed by the European Fusion programme and on those to be developed in the future.

               (12)

               It is necessary to take into account the relevant provisions of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012 (4), in particular the role of the Commission's internal auditor as internal auditor of the Joint Undertaking.

               (13)

               Decision 2007/198/Euratom ensures the financing of the Joint Undertaking activities for 2014-20. Article 12(1)(a) of the Statutes of the Joint Undertaking provides for the Euratom contribution to be made available through the Community research and training programmes adopted pursuant to Article 7 of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community. Article 12(1)(a) should be amended to take account of the fact that financing for 2014-20 will no longer be made available through the Euratom Framework Programme.

               (14)

               It is also appropriate to update Decision 2007/198/Euratom as regards the provisions on protection of the financial interests of the Members.

               (15)

               Decision 2007/198/Euratom should therefore be amended accordingly,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Decision 2007/198/Euratom is amended as follows:

               (1)

               (3)

               Article 9(3) is replaced by the following:

A3-0070/91),  Priority attached to development policy  1. Points out that Community development policy has long been a high priority for the European Parliament; that Parliament has played an active role in the implementation of the policy and the introduction of certain measures; that it has regularly  contributed to improving the Commission's measures and stressed the positive results thereof;  Rate of utilization of EDF appropriations  2. Notes that, at the end of the fourteenth year of implementation, 98,6 % of the fourth EDF as a whole had been committed (98,5 % in 1988) and 95 % had been paid out; calls once again on the Commission to close the fourth EDF before the fourth Lomé  Convention comes into force;  3. Notes that, at the end of the ninth year of implementation, the rate of payment of the fifth EDF has further decreased (79 %) and is about 5 % lower than that of the fourth EDF at the same point in time;  4. Feels obliged once again to express its concern regarding the delay in making payments in respect of planned projects; is aware of the problems arising from the new procedure for semi-direct payments; repeats its request (previously expressed in  respect of the 1983 discharge) for the Commission to submit a report on the reasons for the slow rate of payments from the EDF;  Inadequacy of budget management and accountancy practices  5. Notes that the Court of Auditors makes the same criticisms every year regarding the management of the budget and accountancy practices, and that Parliament itself has very often had to repeat the same criticisms in its observations on the discharge;   6. Notes that the Commission has stated its intention to implement the following measures by 1 October 1991:  (a) elimination of administrative practices on the part of the delegations and the authorizing officer by means of which payments are made without prior commitment;  (b) amendment of internal procedures so that the endorsement of the financial controller can be given before the commitment is entered in the books;  (c) introduction into the computerized accounting system of precise accounting instructions and of effective reliability tests;  (d) preparation and introduction of the long-awaited handbook on financing and accounting procedure;  (e) entry into force of the new general schedules of conditions for employment, delivery and service contracts;  (f) reorganization of the Commission's offices to ensure an effective division between the functions of the accounting officer and the authorizing officer;  (g) creation of a unit to monitor accountancy in the Finance Directorate of Directorate-General VIII, so as to lighten the workload of the financial controller;  (h) improvement in the presentation of the financial statements;  7. Draws the Commission's attention to the fact that it is the Commission's responsibility to allocate staff resources in such a way as to enable itself to fulfil its obligations appropriately; stresses once again that it attaches a high political  priority to the effective administration of the EDF;  8. Calls on the Commisison to submit a report by 1 October 1991 on the implementation of the measures listed in paragraph 6;  9. Notes that the Commission describes the misuse of transfer payments for Benin under the Stabex as a mistake; also notes that this was an isolated case, but calls on the Commission to inform Parliament of such cases as a matter of course;  10. Repeats, with regard to the case described by the Court of Auditors under 14.14 and 14.15, its request for improved monitoring of the European Investment Bank's activity in connection with the EDF;  11. Draws the Commission's attention to the fact that, on the basis of the Court of Auditors' special reports No 6/87 and No 7/87, it has made recommendations regarding the administration of food aid counterpart funds, and these should be taken into  consideration by the Commission in its current reflections on the matter;  12. Considers that, in order to enhance the quality of the projects and programmes a Community inspection should be set up, reporting to the relevant and EEC-ACP cooperation bodies, and calls on the Commission to take steps to this end.
