         COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2017/1254
   of 4 July 2017
   on the proposed citizens' initiative entitled ‘Stop TTIP’

         (notified under document C(2017) 4725)

   (Only the English text is authentic)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 211/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 on the citizens' initiative (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               By Commission Decision C(2014) 6501 of 10 September 2014 the registration of the proposed citizens' initiative entitled ‘Stop TTIP’ was refused. The General Court of the European Union in its judgment of 10 May 2017 in case T-754/14 annulled that Decision. In order to take the necessary measures to comply with the judgment of the General Court a new Commission Decision on the request for registration of the proposed citizens' initiative has to be adopted.

               (2)

               The subject-matter of the proposed citizens' initiative entitled ‘Stop TTIP’ is referred to as follows: ‘We invite the European Commission to recommend to the Council to repeal the negotiating mandate for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and not to conclude the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)’.

               (3)

               The stated objectives of the proposed citizens' initiative are: ‘We want to prevent TTIP and CETA because they include several critical issues such as investor-state dispute settlement and rules on regulatory cooperation that pose a threat to democracy and the rule of law. We want to prevent employment, social, environmental, privacy and consumer standards from being lowered and public services (such as water) and cultural assets from being deregulated in non-transparent negotiations. The ECI supports an alternative trade and investment policy in the EU’.

               (4)

               Decisions of the Council authorising the opening of negotiations of international agreements between the Union and third countries, such as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada, of the one part, and the European Union and its Member States, of the other part (CETA), as well as decisions of the Council authorising the signing of or concluding such agreements are legal acts of the Union for the purpose of implementing the Treaties adopted on the basis of a recommendation or a proposal from the Commission. These legal acts can therefore be the subject of a European citizens' initiative.

               (5)

               However, CETA was signed on 30 October 2016 following the adoption of the Council Decision (EU) 2017/37 (2). Therefore, the proposed citizens' initiative has become devoid of purpose inasmuch as it aims at a proposal from the Commission for a decision of the Council not to sign CETA.

               (6)

               The Treaty on European Union (TEU) reinforces citizenship of the Union and enhances further the democratic functioning of the Union by providing, inter alia, that every citizen is to have the right to participate in the democratic life of the Union by way of a European citizens' initiative.

               (7)

               To this end, the procedures and conditions required for the citizens' initiative should be clear, simple, user-friendly and proportionate to the nature of the citizens' initiative so as to encourage participation by citizens and to make the Union more accessible.

               (8)

               For those reasons, it is appropriate to consider that the proposed citizens' initiative does not fall manifestly outside the framework of the Commission's powers to submit a proposal for a legal act of the Union for the purpose of implementing the Treaties in accordance with Article 4(2)(b) of the Regulation.

               (9)

               The proposed citizens' initiative entitled ‘Stop TTIP’ should therefore be registered. However, statements of support for this proposed citizens' initiative should be collected only inasmuch as it aims at proposals or recommendations from the Commission for legal acts other than a decision of the Council not to sign CETA,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   1.   The proposed citizens' initiative entitled ‘Stop TTIP’ is registered.
   2.   Statements of support for this proposed citizens' initiative may be collected, based on the understanding that it aims at proposals or recommendations from the Commission for legal acts other than a decision of the Council not to sign the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada, of the one part, and the European Union and its Member States, of the other part (CETA).
   Article 2
   This Decision shall enter into force on 10 July 2017.
   Article 3
   This Decision is addressed to the organisers (members of the citizens' committee) of the proposed citizens' initiative entitled ‘Stop TTIP’, represented by Mr Michael EFLER and [Personal data deleted following the consultation of the organisers] acting as contact persons.

85/470/EEC: Commission Decision of 7 October 1985 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of standard wood particle board originating in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, the Soviet Union, Spain and Yugoslavia

Official Journal L 268 , 10/10/1985 P. 0022 - 0024

*****COMMISSION  DECISION  of 7 October 1985  terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of standard wood particle board originating in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, the Soviet Union, Spain and Yugoslavia  (85/470/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 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 under the above Regulation,  Whereas:  A. Procedure  1. In 1984 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the European Confederation of Wood Working Industries for the EEC countries on behalf of producers of standard wood particle board whose collective output constitutes the majority of Community production of the product in question. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of standard wood particle board falling within Common Customs Tariff heading No ex 44.18 and corresponding to Nimexe codes 44.18-11, ex 44.18-30 and ex 44.18-90 originating in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, the Soviet Union, Spain and Yugoslavia and commenced an investigation.  2. The Commission officially so advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives where appropriate, of the exporting countries and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.  The majority of the known Community producers and exporters and some importers made their views known in writing. Some exporters and some importers requested and were granted hearings.  Certain submissions were also made by or on behalf of Community processors of the product concerned.  3. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following:  - EEC producers:  - NV Spano, Oostrozebeke, Belgium  - NV Unilin, Wielsbeke, Belgium  - Caberboard Ltd, Cowie, United Kingdom  - Aaronson Bros plc, South Molton, Devon, United Kingdom  - Falco SpA, Pomposa, Italy  - ITALP, Pomponesco, Italy  - STAT SpA, Ginovo, Italy  - Frati Luigi SpA, Pomponesco, Italy  - Isory SA, Lisieux, France  - R.O.L. SA, Niort, France  - Emsland Spanplatten KG, Papenburg, Germany  - Greco Spanplatten GmbH, Meppen, Germany  - Gebr. Kuennemeyer GmbH, Co KG, Germany  - Kunststoff und Spanplatten GmbH Co KG, Germany  - Gebr. Cloos GmbH, Germany  - EEC importers:  - Flatau Dick (Plywood and board) Ltd, London, United Kingdom  - Polish Timber Products Ltd, London, United Kingdom  - Scantlebury and Hemingway Ltd, London, United Kingdom  - Tafinsa Boards Limited, London, United Kingdom  The Commission requested and received detailed written submissions from the majority of complainant Community producers, the majority of exporters and some importers and verified the information therein to the extent considered necessary.  The complainants requested and received all information available to the Commission relevant to the complainant's interest having been used by the Commission during the investigation and having had a decisive influence on its findings.  The information disclosed was not regarded by the Commission as confidential within the meaning of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84.  B. Injury  4. With regard to the allegation that imports of standard wood particle board from the countries concerned caused injury to the Community producers of this product, the investigation showed that imports to the Community from these countries increased from approximately 290 000 cubic metres in 1981 and 1982 to 480 000 cubic metres in 1983 but fell to 420 000 cubic metres in 1984. This reduction represented a fall in market share from 6,5 % in 1983 to 5,4 % in 1984 and since EEC consumption during this period rose by approximately 5 % the reduction was therefore not only in absolute terms, but also relative to Community consumption.  Individually, in 1984 none of the exporting countries concerned held more than 1,4 % of the Community market, the lowest individual share being 0,2 %.  5. As far as the complainant companies who cooperated in the investigation are concerned, both their production and sales in the Community of standard wood particle board increased steadily from 1981 to 1984, the figures for production being 3,8 million cubic metres in 1981 and 4,5 million cubic metres in 1984 and for EEC sales 3,1 million cubic metres in 1981 and 3,5 milion cubic metres in 1984. In view of the increase in Community consumption during this period, these sales represented a relatively stable market share in the Community of approximately 45 %.  Imports into the Community from countries not concerned in the investigation, particularly Austria, Finland, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland, increased during the same period both absolutely and in relation to EEC consumption, their cumulated market share having risen from 14 % in 1981 to 15 % in 1984.  6. Although, in general, the development of prices throughout the Community prior to and during the refence period shows relatively small increases, the Commission considers that, in general, the available evidence on quantities imported from both the countries concerned and from other countries, the pricing of those imports and the pricing of the products of Community producers show that the fact that prices did not increase more rapidly cannot be conclusively attributed to the imports in question. The Commission did, however, find isolated regional instances of price depression which could be attributed to certain of the imports in question but the injurious effect of these imports on prices was restricted both in time and to the immediate areas of the port of entry and, taking account of the quantities concerned, could not be considered material on a Community basis.  7. In addition, most of the the complainant companies achieved profitability, albeit modest, in thir sale of standard particle board in the Community during the refeence period.  8. Thus the Commission, in taking account of the evidence available, is of the opinion that, to the extent to which the complainant companies may have sustained injury during the reference period which could be conclusively attributed to the imports in question, the injury cannot be described as material. C. Dumping  9. In view of the above findings with respect to injury the Commission considered it unnecessary to investigate the allegation of dumping with regard to the imports in question since anti-dumping measures may in general only be taken where examination shows that there has been dumping during the period under investigation, that material injury has been caused thereby and that the interests of the Community call for such measures.  In these circumstances it is considered appropriate that the proceeding be terminated without the imposition of protective measures.  No objection to this course was raised in the Advisory Committee,  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:  Sole Article  The anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of standard wood particle board originating in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, the Soviet Union, Spain and Yugoslavia is hereby terminated.

Official Journal L 212 , 23/08/2000 P. 0009 - 0010

Council Decisionof 14 August 2000amending Decision 93/731/EC on public access to Council documents and Council Decision 2000/23/EC on the improvement of information on the Council's legislative activities and the public register of Council documents(2000/527/EC)THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Union, and in particular Article 207 thereof,Having regard to its Rules of Procedure, and in particular Article 10 thereof,Whereas:(1) The European Council, meeting in Helsinki in December 1999, provided political impetus for the development of the European Union's means for military and non-military crisis management within the framework of a strengthened European security and defence policy.(2) In this context, the Council must introduce rules guaranteeing effective protection of documents concerning these matters disclosure of which could harm the essential interests of the Union or of one or more of its Member States. For this reason, under the Decision of the Secretary-General of the Council/High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy of 27 July 2000 on measures for the protection of classified information applicable to the General Secretariat of the Council(1), such documents must be classified as TRÈS SECRET/TOP SECRET or SECRET or CONFIDENTIEL.(3) The seriousness of the consequences of disclosure of such documents, in particular with regard to the prospective development of the new strengthened European security and defence policy, and the necessary confidence which those involved must be able to have at a crucial moment in the development of this policy, justify the exclusion of such documents from the scope of the rules on public access to Council documents until such time as they are declassified, or declassified in accordance with the rules referred to in recital 2 concerning classification of documents.(4) The exchange of information in the particularly sensitive areas referred to in recital 1, which is one of the features of the development of this new policy, will work only if the originator of such information can be confident that no information put out by him will be disclosed against his will. It is therefore necessary to provide that a Council document from which conclusions may be drawn regarding the content of classified information put out by a natural or legal person, a Member State, another Community institution or body or any other national or international body may be made available to the public only with the prior written consent of the author of the information in question.(5) With the same objective of reinforcing protection of the confidentiality of information when scrutinising documents to which access has been requested, it should be provided that measures are taken to ensure compliance with the principle that access to classified documents must be reserved for those persons who are authorised to take cognisance thereof.(6) Since the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States or military and non-military crisis management represent public interests which Decision 93/731/EC(2) is intended to protect, this should be specifically mentioned among the reasons justifying refusal of access to a document,HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:Article 1The provisions of Decision 93/731/EC is hereby amended as follows:1. Article 1(1) shall be replaced by the following:"1. The public shall have access to Council documents, except for documents classified as TRÈS SECRET/TOP SECRET, SECRET or CONFIDENTIEL within the meaning of the Decision of the Secretary-General of the Council/High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy of 27 July 2000 on measures for the protection of classified information applicable to the General Secretariat of the Council, on matters concerning the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States or on military or non-military crisis management, under the conditions laid down in this Decision.Where a request for access refers to a classified document within the meaning of the first subparagraph, the applicant shall be informed that the document does not fall within the scope of this Decision."2. The following paragraph shall be added to Article 2:"3. Without prejudice to Article 1(1), no Council document on matters concerning the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States or on military or non-military crisis management which enables conclusions to be drawn regarding the content of classified information from one of the sources referred to in paragraph 2 may be made available to the public except with the prior written consent of the author of the information in question.Where access to a document is refused pursuant to this paragraph, the applicant shall be informed thereof."3. Article 3(1) shall be replaced by the following:"1. The applicant shall have access to a Council document either by consulting it on the spot or by having a copy sent at his own expense. The fee shall be set by the Secretary-General/High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy (hereinafter referred to as the 'Secretary-General')."4. The first indent of Article 4(1) shall be replaced by the following:"- the protection of the public interest (public security, the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States, military or non-military crisis management, international relations, monetary stability, court proceedings, inspections and investigations),"5. The following sentence shall be added at the end of Article 5:"The Permanent Representatives Committee shall see to it that the necessary measures are taken to ensure that the preparation of such decisions is entrusted to persons authorised to take cognisance of the documents concerned."6. In Article 7(3), the references to Articles 138e and 173 of the Treaty establishing the European Community shall be replaced by references to Articles 195 and 230 of the Treaty establishing the European Community.7.

The following shall be added as the second subparagraph of Article 2:"The public register of Council documents contains no reference to documents classified TRÈS SECRET/TOP SECRET or SECRET or CONFIDENTIEL within the meaning of the Decision of the Secretary-General of the Council/High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy of 27 July 2000 on measures for the protection of classified information applicable to the General Secretariat of the Council, on matters concerning the security and defence of the Union or of one or more of its Member States or on military or non-military crisis management."2.
