Article 2  At the beginning of each financial year, the Commission shall send to each of the participating non-member States a call for funds corresponding to its share of the annual coordination costs under the Agreement, calculated in proportion to the maximum amounts laid down in Article 4 of the Agreement.  This contribution shall be expressed both in ECU and the currency of the participating non-member State concerned, the value of the ECU being defined in the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities and determined on the date of the call for funds.

      COUNCIL DECISION

   of 21 October 2004
   outlining the general approach for the reallocation of resources under Regulation (EC) No 1267/1999 establishing an Instrument for Structural Policies for Pre-accession
   (2004/749/EC)
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1267/1999 of 21 June 1999 establishing an Instrument for Structural Policies for Pre-accession (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 15 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The Copenhagen European Council of 12 and 13 December 2002 endorsed the results of the negotiations which resulted in the accession to the Community in 2004 of eight countries at the time benefiting from the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1267/1999. Consequently, during the period from 2004 to 2006, only Bulgaria and Romania will continue to benefit from commitments under that Regulation.

               (2)

               By endorsing the ‘roadmaps’ for Bulgaria and Romania proposed by the Commission, the Copenhagen European Council agreed, by way of a general approach for reallocation, that the ratio for reallocation should be fixed at 30/70, respectively, under the Phare programme set up under Council Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89 of 18 December 1989 on economic aid to the Republic of Hungary and the Polish People’s Republic (2), the special accession programme for agriculture and rural development (Sapard) set up under Regulation (EC) No 1268/1999 (3) and the Instrument for Structural Policies for Pre-accession (ISPA), set up under Regulation (EC) No 1267/1999.

               (3)

               In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1267/1999, the ratio takes account of the need and capacity of Bulgaria and Romania for absorbing assistance, as well as of the criteria laid down in Article 4 of that Regulation.

               (4)

               Since the 30/70 ratio applies to the three-year period 2004 to 2006 as a whole, it is appropriate to permit an indicative allocation of the total resources on an annual basis consistent with that ratio.

               (5)

               Consequently, the general approach for reallocation between the remaining beneficiary countries, namely Bulgaria and Romania, should be that the 30/70 ratio is to apply to the three-year period from 2004 to 2006 as a whole, and an indicative allocation of the total resources is to be determined on an annual basis in accordance with a bracket reflecting that overall ratio,

         HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
   Sole Article
   By way of a general approach for the three-year period 2004 to 2006, the resources under Regulation (EC) No 1267/1999 shall be reallocated between Bulgaria and Romania in accordance with a ratio of 30/70, respectively, applicable to that period as a whole.
   During the three-year period referred to in the first subparagraph, the annual allocation of resources under Regulation (EC) No 1267/1999 shall be determined on the basis of an indicative ratio of 65 % to 75 % of total resources in the case of Romania and 25 % to 35 % of total resources in the case of Bulgaria.

      Done at Luxembourg, 21 October 2004.

Reservation on pallets 'As long as pallets are identifiable, Community legislation authorizes their temporary admission without formalities from the time of entry into Community customs territory. Where they are not identifiable, a written application has to be submitted and  an authorization issued.  In both cases a written declaration and, where necessary, a security may be required if the customs consider that there is a serious risk of failure to comply with the obligation to re-export.' 12.6.

Annex F.1 concerning free zones 15.1. The wording of the general reservation shall be replaced by:  'Community legislation allows Member States the option of constituting certain areas of Community customs territory as free zones. So far free zones of this type have been set up by Denmark, Germany, Greece, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and the  United Kingdom.  In addition Community legislation provides for a particular type of free zone called a 'free warehouse', to which exactly the same rules apply as those governing the free zones. So far, free warhouses have been set up in Spain, France, Italy, the  Netherlands and Portugal.  Moreover, Community legislation covers only part of the procedures dealt with in this Annex.

      COUNCIL DECISION

   of 4 November 2008
   amending Annex 3, Part I, to the Common Consular Instructions on third-country nationals subject to airport visa requirements
   (2008/859/EC)
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 789/2001 of 24 April 2001 reserving to the Council implementing powers with regard to certain detailed provisions and practical procedures for examining visa applications (1),
   Having regard to the initiative of France,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Annex 3, Part I, to the Common Consular Instructions contains the joint list of third countries whose nationals are subject to airport transit visa (ATV) requirements by all Member States.

               (2)

               France wishes, as regards Ghanaian and Nigerian nationals, to limit the ATV requirement to persons who do not hold a valid visa issued by Member States of the European Union or for a State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area of 2 May 1992, Canada, Japan, Switzerland or the United States of America. The Common Consular Instructions should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (3)

               In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application. Given that this Decision builds upon the Schengen acquis under the provisions of Title IV of Part Three of the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark shall, in accordance with Article 5 of that Protocol, decide within a period of six months after the Council has adopted this Decision whether it will implement the Decision in its national law.

               (4)

               As regards Iceland and Norway, this Decision constitutes a development of provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis
                   (2), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point A, of Council Decision 1999/437/EC of 17 May 1999 on certain arrangements for the application of that Agreement (3).
