text: L 299/16 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 20. 11. 1999 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2461/1999 of 19 November 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 as regards the use of land set aside for the production of raw materials THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 of 17 May 1999 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof, Whereas: (1) (2) (3) since Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 has replaced the support system for producers of certain arable crops established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (2), it is necessary to amend, in accordance with the new the experience gained, scheme and in the light of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1586/97 of 29 July 1997 laying down detailed implementing rules for the use of set-aside land for the provision of materials for the manufacture within the Community of products not primarily intended for human or animal consump- tion (3). On the occasion of those amendments, and for reasons of clarity, that Regulation should be recast; without prejudice to receipt of the payment provided for therein, Article 6(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 allows land set aside to be used for the production of raw materials intended for the manufacture within the Community of products not intended for direct human or animal consumption, provided that effective controls are applied; those raw materials and their end uses should be defined; the raw materials and the end products that may be obtained from such materials should be limited in order to safeguard traditional markets without reducing the scope for identifying new outlets for such raw materials; a distinction should be made between those raw materials that can potentially be used for human or animal consumption and those which cannot; (1) OJ L 160, 26. 6. 1999, p. 1. (2) OJ L 181, 1. 7. 1992, p. 12. (3) OJ L 215, 7. 8. 1997, p. 3. the cultivation of sugarbeet, Jerusalem artichokes or chicory roots on land set aside should not be ruled out; however, such crops cannot qualify for area payments in view of the risk of affecting the markets for sugar and cereals; care should nonetheless be taken to ensure that such crops comply with the rules governing the use of land set aside for the production of non-food products; in order to prevent any speculation and to ensure that the raw materials are processed into the intended end products, a security must be lodged even though no payment is made; (4) the role of all principal parties involved in the market need to be defined clearly; it is essential that an explicit distinction be drawn between the applicant's obligations, which end once the total quantity of raw material harvested is delivered, and the obligations, including the requirement concerning securities, incumbent on collec- first processors and any subsequent processors, tors, which commence at the time of delivery and are extin- guished when the raw materials are processed into the intended non-food end products; the amount of the security lodged should be high enough to prevent any risk of the raw materials ending up in use for human or animal consumption; reference should be made to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 of 27 November 1992 establishing an integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1036/1999 (5), and to Commission Regulations (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of securities for agricul- tural products (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1932/1999 (7), and (EEC) No 3887/92 of 23 December 1992 laying down detailed rules for applying the inte- grated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes (8), as last amended by Regula- tion (EC) No 1678/98 (9), which impose horizontal rules on the subject; special provisions should be laid down to cover biennial crops in view of the length of the produc- tion cycle; (5) a method should also be laid down for assessing those products deemed not for human or animal consumption and those which are intended for such uses, in order to determine the ratio between those two types of product, that ratio being the criterion serving to identify the primary end use; (4) OJ L 355, 5. 12. 1992, p. 1.

Where such equivalent quantities come from a Member State other than that in which the raw material is harvested, the Member States need to inform each other of the transaction so that suitable checks may be conducted; in the interests of verification, applicants should be required to declare the areas involved, the anticipated yields and the quantities harvested. The yields shown in contracts concluded between applicants and collectors or first processors, as the case may be, must be at least equal to the yields forecast. In the case of raw materials that can be bought into intervention otherwise than under this scheme and of raw materials obtained from certain rapeseed and sunflower seed, a representative individual yield or, where appropriate, a representative local yield should be fixed. The localities on the basis of which the representative local yields are calculated can, but need not necessarily, be coextensive with the regions mentioned in the regionalisation plans provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999. Checks of such raw materials will be more effective if the quantities delivered correspond to such representative yields. In duly justified cases, a shortfall may be allowed; (9) the whole quantities of raw materials harvested on areas covered by contracts should be delivered to the first processors or collectors. To ensure that this condition is met, applicants should be required to submit a declara- tion to the relevant competent authorities. Applicants need to inform the competent authorities should they be unable to deliver all or part of the quantity of raw (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) material stipulated in the contract. Contracts should be amended or terminated in the event of special circum- stances falling outside normal agricultural conditions. The conditions under which an amendment may lead to a reduction in the land covered by the contract without to payment should be affecting the applicant's right clearly defined; the scheme would be more in line with commercial practice if the collectors or first processors, as the case may be, were allowed to change the end uses envisaged and shown in contracts, after the applicants have deliv- ered the raw materials covered by this Regulation, provided that the scheme is effectively verified; in order to comply with the Memorandum of Under- standing on oil seeds between the European Economic Community and the United States of America within the the GATT, as approved by Council framework of Decision 93/355/EEC (1), a monitoring system should be introduced to assess the quantities, in soya-bean-meal equivalent, of by-products intended for human or animal consumption and obtained from colza seed, rapeseed, sunflower seed or soya beans grown on land set aside for purposes other than production for human or animal consumption; a clear time limit should be set for the processing of the raw materials into eligible end products; certain transport operations within Community territory involving raw materials and products derived therefrom should be subject to controls to guarantee traceability and to ensure that the provisions of this Regulation have been applied to them. Such controls should entail the use of declarations and T5 control copies to be issued in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/ 92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1662/1999 (3); a demonstrable measure of control must be established for each of the principal parties involved; whereas controls are to be stepped up wherever failures to observe the rules laid down in this Regulation emerge; simplified rules may be adopted in respect of raw mate- rials that cannot in any circumstances be used for human or animal consumption; law provisions, without application of this scheme should take account of special conditions obtaining in certain Member States, in particular as regards controls, public health, the environ- thereby ment and criminal accentuating the differences as to the manner in which such factors are treated within the Community. To that end, any proposal to exclude any of the raw materials listed in Annexes I or II should, prior to its enactment, be duly justified and notified to the Commission by the Member State concerned; (1) OJ L 147, 18. 6. 1993, p. 25.

L 299/18 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 20. 11. 1999 (17) provision should be made whereby raw materials grown on set-aside land, and products derived therefrom, do not generally qualify for any other Community aid financed under Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and amending and repealing certain Regula- tions (1), or Council Regulation (EC) No 1258/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the financing of the common agricul- tural policy (2); (18) with a view to determining whether the objectives of the reform of the common agricultural policy have been achieved, this scheme should be evaluated on the basis of information on its actual application in the Member States; (19) the system provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1251/ 1999 will apply from the 2000/2001 marketing year; whereas, so that the producers concerned can carry out sowing and submit their contracts and applications for area payments in respect of that marketing year in full knowledge of, and in compliance with, the rules on the application of the new arrangements, this Regulation should enter into force immediately on publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities; (20) the measures laid down in this Regulation are in accord- ance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals, However, the cultivation of such raw materials shall be deemed compatible with those provisions. Furthermore, by way of derogation from Article 19(2) of that Regulation, the areas concerned need not be left fallow from 15 January, provided that the requirements of this Regulation are satisfied. No payment shall be made in respect of set-aside land on 2. which sugarbeet, Jerusalem artichokes or chicory roots are grown. However, all the provisions of Chapter II shall apply to sugarbeet, Jerusalem artichokes and chicory roots grown on land set aside in the same way as if such a payment were made. Article 2 For the purposes of this Regulation: (a) ‘applicant’ means any person applying for an area payment; (b) ‘collector’ means any person signing a contract as provided for in Article 4 who purchases on his own account raw materials listed in Annex I and intended for use in products listed in Annex III; (c) ‘first processor’ means any user of raw materials who undertakes the first processing thereof with a view to obtaining one or more of the products listed in Annex III. CHAPTER II Raw materials which need to be covered by a contract HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: S e c t i o n 1 CHAPTER I Aim and definitions Article 1 1. Land set aside under the support system for producers of certain arable crops, as set out in Regulation (EC) No 1251/ 1999, may be used in accordance with Article 6(3) thereof for the production of the raw materials listed in Annexes I and II to this Regulation and intended for the purposes set out in Annex III. Such land may qualify for payment of area-aid (hereinafter referred to as ‘the payment’) pursuant to Article 2(2) of Regula- tion (EC) No 1251/1999, subject to the conditions contained in this Regulation. The provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2316/ 1999 (3) shall govern land set aside and used to grow the raw materials listed in Annexes I or II. (1) OJ L 160, 26. 6. 1999, p. 80. (2) OJ L 160, 26. 6. 1999, p. 103. (3) OJ L 280, 30. 10. 1999, p. 43. Use of raw material — Contract and application for payment Article 3 1. The raw materials listed in Annex I (hereinafter referred to as ‘raw materials’) may be grown on land set aside solely on condition that they are intended primarily for use in the manu- facture of the end products listed in Annex III. The economic value of non-food products obtained by processing such raw materials as determined by the valuation method set out in Article 13(3) shall be higher than that of all other products intended for human or animal consumption and obtained by such processing. 2. Raw materials grown on land set aside shall be covered by contracts as provided for in Article 4. 3. Applicants shall deliver all raw materials harvested to a collector or first processor, who shall take delivery of them and ensure that an equivalent quantity of such raw materials is used within the Community for the manufacture of one or more end products listed in Annex III. Where the collector or first processor uses the raw material actually harvested to manufacture an intermediate product or a by-product, he may use an equivalent quantity of such inter- mediate products or by-products to manufacture one or more end products as referred to in Annex III. 20. 11. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 299/19 Where the collector or first processor avails himself of the possibility provided for in the first and second subparagraphs, he shall so inform the competent authority with whom the security is lodged. Where such equivalent quantity is used in a Member State other than that in which the raw material is the Member States harvested, concerned shall inform each other of the details of such trans- action. the competent authorities of the 4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 2 and 3, Member States may authorise applicants to process into biogas under CN code 2711 29 00, on their holdings, all raw mate- rials harvested on certain areas set aside, on condition that: (a) the applicant undertakes, by way of a declaration in place of the contract as provided for in Article 4, to process directly the raw material covered by the declaration; (b) the Member State concerned introduces suitable controls is processed into biogas ensuring that the raw material under CN code 2711 29 00. Measures as provided for in the first subparagraph and any thereto shall be notified to the subsequent amendments Commission by 30 November preceding the year of the harvest to which those measures apply. Articles 4 to 21 shall apply mutatis mutandis. 4. Where contracts relate to rapeseed, colza seed, sunflower seed or soya beans covered by CN codes ex 1205 00 90, 1206 00 91, 1206 00 99 or 1201 00 90, the applicants shall ensure that, in addition to the information required under paragraph 2, they specify the anticipated quantity of by-prod- ucts intended for uses other than human or animal consump- tion. 5. For the purposes of control, Member States may require each applicant to conclude a single supply contract for each raw material. Article 5 in their payment applications submitted to the Each year, competent authorities, applicants shall identify the parcel or parcels on which the raw materials are to be grown. The following particulars must be provided in respect of each parcel set aside and each raw material grown thereon: (a) the species of raw material and varieties thereof; (b) the anticipated yield per species and variety. Where the same species or variety is also grown on land not set aside within the same holding, the species or variety and the forecast output shall be shown, together with details of the parcels concerned, their location and identification. Article 4 S e c t i o n 2 Amendment and termination of contract — Applicant's 1. In support of their applications for payment, applicants shall submit to their competent authorities the contracts they have concluded with a collector or first processor. 2. Applicants shall ensure that such contracts specify the following: (a) the names and addresses of the parties to the contract; (b) the duration of the contract; (c) the species of all raw materials concerned and the area planted with each species; (d) the forecast quantities of raw materials, classified by species, and any conditions governing their delivery. Such quantities shall be no less than those calculated on the basis of the anticipated yield considered by the competent authority to be representative for the raw material in ques- tion. Such anticipated yields shall take account inter alia of the average yield, if any, set for the region concerned; (e) an undertaking to fulfil their obligations pursuant to Article 3(3); obligations Article 6 Where the parties to the contract amend or terminate the latter after the applicant has lodged a payment application, the appli- cant may maintain such payment application only on condi- tion that, with a view to allowing the requisite inspections to be carried out, he informs the relevant competent authority of such amendment or termination, no later than the closing date set in the Member State concerned for amendment of the application. Article 7 Without prejudice to Article 6, where applicants inform their competent authorities that, owing to special circumstances, they will be unable to supply all or part of the raw materials specified in the contract, the competent authorities may, after obtaining sufficient evidence of such special circumstances, authorise such amendments to contracts as appear justified, or may authorise their termination. (f) the intended primary end uses for the raw material, each end use complying with the conditions laid down in Articles 3(1) and 13(3). Where the land covered by contracts is reduced as a result of their amendments, or where contracts are terminated, then, in order to maintain their right to payments, applicants shall: 3. Applicants shall ensure that the contracts are concluded in time to allow the collector or first processor to deposit a copy with his competent authority within the time limits laid down in Article 13(1). (a) once more set aside the land in question by any means permitted by the competent authorities; (b) abstain from selling, transferring or using raw materials grown on land struck out of the contracts. L 299/20 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 20. 11. 1999 Article 8 Without prejudice to Article 6, collectors or first processors may alter the intended primary end uses of raw materials, as referred to in Article 4(2)(f), once the raw materials under contract have been delivered to the collector or first processor and once the conditions laid down in Article 10(1) and in the first subparagraph of Article 13(4) have been fulfilled. Changes in end uses shall be made in compliance with the conditions laid down in Articles 3(1) and 13(3). The collectors or first processors shall give prior notice to their competent authorities with a view to the requisite controls. In the case of raw materials as referred to in Article 9, the 2. actual quantities to be delivered by the applicants to the collec- tors or first processors must at least correspond to the repres- entative individual yield or, as the case may be, the repres- entative local yield for the parcels concerned established by the Member States pursuant to that Article. However, in duly justified cases, the Member States may, by way of an exception, allow a shortfall of up to 10 % in the yield. Furthermore, where they have authorised the amendment or termination of contracts in accordance with Article 7, the competent authorities may, where it seems justified to do so, reduce the quantities that applicants are required to deliver under the first subparagraph of this paragraph. S e c t i o n 3 Representative yields and quantities delivered Article 9 Each year before the harvest, the Member States shall 1. establish representative yields, which shall be attained in prac- tice, for raw materials that may be bought into intervention otherwise than under this scheme and for rapeseed or colza seed covered by CN code ex 1205 00 90, with the exception of varieties having a high erucic acid content, and sunflower seeds covered by CN codes 1206 00 91 or 1206 00 99. Those representative yields shall be established: (a) for each individual holding concerned; or (b) on a local basis. In the case set out in point 1, Member States shall select 2. the localities to be used to calculate representative yields, which may, but need not necessarily, correspond to the regions set out in their regionalisation plans drawn up in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999. Each year before the harvest, Member States shall inform the applicants concerned of those representative yields, doing so by: (a) 31 July at the latest in the case of raw materials that may into intervention otherwise than under this be bought scheme and rapeseed as referred to in the first subpara- graph; and (b) 31 August at the latest in the case of sunflower seeds as referred to in paragraph 1. Article 10 1. Applicants shall declare the total quantity of raw materials harvested by species to their competent authorities and shall confirm the quantities of raw materials delivered and the parties to whom such deliveries are made. Article 11 Where applicants fail to deliver the requisite quantity of any given raw material pursuant to this Regulation, they shall be deemed, for the purposes of Article 9(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92, to have failed to fulfil their obligations under the set-aside scheme for non-food purposes in respect of an area calculated by multiplying the area of land set aside and used by them for the production of the raw materials in accordance with the criteria laid down in this Regulation by the percentage shortfall in deliveries of that raw material. S e c t i o n 4 Conditions of payment Article 12 1. Payments may be made to applicants in respect of land set aside in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 before the raw materials are processed. However, such payments shall only be made where the requisite quantities of raw materials pursuant to this Regulation have been delivered to the collector or first processor and where: (a) the declaration referred to in Article 10 has been made; (b) a copy of the contract has been deposited with the collec- tor's or first processor's competent authority, the condi- tions referred to in Article 13(2) have been fulfilled, and the information specified in the first subparagraph of Article 13(4) has been forwarded by either the collector or first processor; (c) the competent authority has received proof that the full security provided for in Article 15(2) has been lodged; (d) the competent authority responsible for the payment has checked that the conditions laid down in Article 4 have been met in respect of each application. 20. 11. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 299/21 In the case of biennial crops, where the raw materials are 2. harvested, and hence delivered, in the course of the second year of cultivation only, payment shall be made in each of the two years following the conclusion of the contract as provided for in Article 4, on condition that the competent authorities estab- lish that: (a) the obligations laid down in point (b) of paragraph 1, with the exception of the communication of the information referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 13(4), and in point (d) thereof, are fulfilled as from the first year of cultivation; and (b) the obligations laid down in points (a) and (c) of paragraph 1 are fulfilled, and the information referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 13(4) in the second year of cultivation. is communicated, However, payments shall only be made in respect of the first year of cultivation if the competent authorities receive proof that 50 % of the security as provided for in Article 15(2) has been lodged. S e c t i o n 5 Contract and obligations on collector or first processor Article 13 1. Collectors or first processors shall deposit copies of the contracts with their competent authorities: (a) in respect of raw materials to be sown from 1 July to 31 December, by 31 January of the following year; or (b) in respect of raw materials to be sown from 1 January to 30 June, by the closing date for the submission of payment applications for the year in question in the Member State concerned. Where applicants and collectors or first processors amend or terminate contracts prior to the date referred to in Article 6 in a given year, the collectors or first processors shall deposit with their competent authorities a copy of the amended or termi- nated contract, no later than that date. 2. The competent authorities referred to in paragraph 1 shall check that contracts submitted comply with the conditions laid down in Article 3(1). Where those conditions are not met, the applicants' competent authorities shall be notified. 3. With a view to monitoring compliance with Article 3(1), the competent authorities concerned shall, on the basis of the information referred to in paragraph 2, compare the sum of the values of all non-food products with the sum of the values of all other products intended for human or animal consump- tion and obtained from the same processing operation. Each figure shall equal the relevant quantity multiplied by the average of the ex-factory prices recorded during the previous the marketing year. Where such prices are not available, competent authorities shall determine the relevant prices, in particular on the basis of the information referred to in para- graph 2. 4. Collectors or first processors who have taken over the raw materials from applicants shall inform their competent authori- ties of the quantities of raw materials received, specifying the species, the name and address of the party to the contract who the place of delivery and the delivered the raw materials, contract reference, within a time limit to be set by the Member States that allows the payments to be made within the period specified in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999. Within 40 working days of the date on which they deliver the raw materials to the first processors, the collectors shall inform their competent authorities of the names and addresses of those first processors. Within 40 working days of receipt by the first processors, in turn inform their the latter shall competent authorities of the names and addresses of the collec- tors who delivered the raw materials to them, the quantities and type thereof and the dates of delivery. Where delivery of the raw materials to the first processors is not made by the collectors direct, the latter shall inform their competent authorities of the names and addresses of the parties involved in the delivery, together with the names and addresses of the first processors. That information shall be provided within 40 working days of receipt of the raw materials by the first processors. Within 40 working days of the transaction, all other parties involved in the delivery shall, in turn, inform their competent authorities of the names and addresses of the purchasers of raw materials and the quantities sold to them. the Where the competent authorities are not competent authorities of the first processors and the competent authorities of all other parties involved in delivering the raw materials as referred to in the third subparagraph shall inform the collectors' competent authorities of the quantities supplied to the first processors. the same, With a view to facilitating such checks, collectors or first processors shall provide their competent authorities with the requisite information on the processing chain in question, in particular as regards prices and the technical processing coeffi- cients to be used for determining the quantities of end products that may be obtained. The coefficients shall be those set out in Article 21(1). Where the Member States of the collectors or first processors are not the same as the Member States in which the raw materials have been grown, then, within 40 working days of receipt of the information referred to in the first and third subparagraphs, the competent authorities concerned shall inform the authorities of the applicants of the total quantities of raw materials delivered. L 299/22 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 20. 11. 1999 S e c t i o n 6 Soya-flour equivalents for oleaginous by-products Article 14 1. Without prejudice to Article 13, as soon as possible and by no later than 31 May of the year in which the raw materials are to be harvested, the competent authorities referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article shall inform the Commission of the total quantity of by-products intended for human or animal consumption and resulting from the contracts as provided for in Article 4, covering rapeseed, colza seed, sunflower seeds and ex 1205 00 90, under CN codes soya 1206 00 91, 1206 00 99 and 1201 00 90. falling beans The competent authorities shall calculate the quantity on the basis of the following ratios: (a) 100 kg of rapeseed covered by CN code 1205 00 90 shall be deemed equivalent to 56 kg of by-products; (b) 100 kg of sunflower covered by CN codes seeds 1206 00 91 or 1206 00 99 shall be deemed equivalent to 56 kg of by-products; (c) 100 kg of soya beans covered by CN code 1201 00 90 shall be deemed equivalent to 78 kg of by-products. The anticipated quantity of by-products to be produced, as referred to in Article 4(4), shall be deducted from the forecast quantity of all by-products calculated in accordance with the second subparagraph. 2. On the basis of the information provided pursuant to paragraph 1, the Commission shall calculate the forecast total quantity of by-products for human or animal consumption, expressed in terms of soya-bean-meal equivalent. S e c t i o n 7 Securities Article 15 1. The collectors or first processors shall lodge a full security as provided for in paragraph 2 with their competent authorities by the closing date for submission of payment applications for the year in question in the Member State concerned. 2. The securities to be lodged in respect of each raw material shall be calculated by multiplying the sum of all areas set aside under this scheme, covered by a contract signed by the collector or first processor concerned and used to produce that raw material, by the rate of EUR 250 per hectare. 3. Where contracts are amended or terminated in accordance with Article 6 or Article 7, the securities lodged shall be adjusted accordingly. 4. A percentage of the security corresponding to the quantity of the raw material processed into the relevant principal non- food end product shall be released on condition that the competent authority of first processor the concerned is in possession of proof that that quantity of raw collector or material has been processed in compliance with the require- ment laid down in Article 4(2)(f), account being taken, where necessary, of any changes pursuant to Article 8. 5. Without prejudice to paragraph 4: (a) where the security has been lodged by the collector, it shall be released once the raw material in question is delivered to the first processor, (b) where the security has been lodged by a processor, it shall be released once the raw material or the intermediate prod- ucts covered by the contract are delivered to another processor, provided that the competent authority of the party selling or transferring the goods in question has proof that the party purchasing or taking over the goods has lodged an equivalent security with his competent authority. Article 16 1. The competent authorities of the Member States in which processing takes place shall take the necessary steps to ensure that processors established in their territory provide all assur- ances as regards the obligations undertaken. 2. The principal processing of quantities of raw materials into the end products specified in the contract shall constitute the primary requirement within the meaning of Article 20 of Regu- lation (EEC) No 2220/85.

Apesar da presen(cid:231)a de peritos em matØria de tŒxteis, de provas de produ(cid:231)ªo e de pareceres isentos da C(cid:226)mara de ComØrcio, verificou-se que o tecido do modelo da farda nªo correspondia ao que Ø descrito no contrato sendo mesmo imposs(cid:237)vel de realizar. Descobriram-se outras fraudes tais como o aumento de 90 % das resmas de papel ou 80 % de pontos para as agrafadoras. A questªo assumiu propor(cid:231)ıes preocupantes quando se verificou que por detrÆs da sociedade chinesa existe uma sociedade bem conhecida, Baloon, da qual faz parte o ex-cunhado do Sindaco de Roma, Sr. Rutelli. PoderÆ a Comissªo intervir e proceder (cid:224) verifica(cid:231)ªo das irregularuidades do processo de adjudica(cid:231)ªo supramencionado e comunicÆ-las ao Parlamento Europeu? PoderÆ a Comissªo adoptar as medidas necessÆrias para controlar os processos de atribui(cid:231)ªo dos contratos pœbicos europeus de forma a que se desenrolem no respeito das normas para que sejam concedidos a empresas especializadas e nªo a empresas que nªo tŒm capacidade para realizar aquilo que lhes Ø exigido? Resposta dada por Frederik Bolkestein em nome da Comissªo (7 de Dezembro de 1999) No seguimento da observa(cid:231)ªo do Senhor Deputado, a Comissªo tenciona solicitar (cid:224)s entidades compe- tentes italianas todas as informa(cid:231)ıes necessÆrias (cid:224) avalia(cid:231)ªo da conformidade da adjudica(cid:231)ªo do contrato de fornecimentos relativo aos uniformes da pol(cid:237)cia municipal de Roma com o direito comunitÆrio em matØria de contratos pœblicos. Assim, a Comissªo prepara actualmente uma carta que serÆ enviada (cid:224)s entidades italianas para que sejam esclarecidos alguns aspectos da referida opera(cid:231)ªo. No caso de a anÆlise das informa(cid:231)ıes recebidas revelar a inconformidade dos procedimentos adoptados relativamente ao direito comunitÆrio acima citado, a Comissªo poderÆ iniciar o processo por incumpri- mento previsto no artigo 226o do Tratado CE (ex-artigo 169o). Em todo o caso, a Comissªo nªo deixarÆ de informar o Senhor Deputado sobre o seguimento dado a esta questªo, bem como sobre as conclusıes a que poderÆ chegar ap(cid:243)s a anÆlise das informa(cid:231)ıes fornecidas pelas entidades competentes italianas.

Resposta dada por Franz Fischler em nome da Comissªo (17 de Dezembro de 1999) Quando do exerc(cid:237)cio de 1998 a Comunidade dispendeu, no (cid:226)mbito das medidas de mercado relacionadas com a encefalopatia espongiforme bovina (EEB), cerca de 497 milhıes de €, de entre os quais 96 milhıes de € como prØmio para a transforma(cid:231)ªo relativamente a vitelos jovens machos, 116 milhıes de € como prØmio para o abate precoce dos vitelos, 243 milhıes de € para o programa de abate bovino no Reino Unido e 42 milhıes de € como abate selectivo obrigat(cid:243)rio no Reino Unido, Portugal, Fran(cid:231)a e Irlanda. As despesas com o apoio dos mercados da Alemanha, Espanha e Pa(cid:237)ses Baixos, como consequŒncia da peste su(cid:237)na, foram de 163,8 milhıes de €. Como medidas estritamente veterinÆrias as despesas de abate em 1998 foram de 34 milhıes de € para os programas de erradica(cid:231)ªo das doen(cid:231)as dos animais e de 38,5 milhıes de € para a epidemia de peste su(cid:237)na clÆssica. A Comissªo nªo pode avaliar as incidŒncias na intensidade do transporte de animais no plano comunitÆrio, embora elas devam ser m(cid:237)nimas, com base na natureza e atribui(cid:231)ªo dessas ajudas. No que respeita aos pa(cid:237)ses terceiros a incidŒncia Ø nula, jÆ que as referidas ajudas se destinaram aos animais da Comunidade. (2000/C 219 E/108) PERGUNTA ESCRITA E-2098/99 apresentada por Carmen Fraga EstØvez (PPE-DE) (cid:224) Comissªo (19 de Novembro de 1999) Objecto: Incumprimento, por parte de um Estado-membro, das recomenda(cid:231)ıes da ICCAT relativas ao congelamento do esfor(cid:231)o de pesca De acordo com o documento de trabalho da Comissªo SEC(1998) 447, de 17 de Mar(cid:231)o de 1998, a frota irlandesa de pesca do atum voador (Thunnus alalunga) compunha-se, em 1997, de onze navios armados com redes de deriva. No entanto, a lista de navios autorizados a pescar o atum com redes de emalhar de deriva e outras artes de pesca, que se encontra em poder da Comissªo, indica que, no corrente ano de 1999, o nœmero de navios da frota em questªo aumentou, passando a contar dezoito navios armados com redes de emalhar de deriva e dezasseis com outras artes. Nªo falando jÆ do flagrante incumprimento do Regulamento (CE) no 1239/98 (1), que visa a supressªo das redes de emalhar de deriva, este crescimento constitui uma grav(cid:237)ssima viola(cid:231)ªo da recomenda(cid:231)ªo da ICCAT (Conven(cid:231)ªo Internacional para a Conserva- (cid:231)ªo dos Tun(cid:237)deos do Atl(cid:226)ntico) (cid:129) que a Comissªo se comprometeu, perante este organismo internacional, a cumprir (cid:129) no sentido de nªo intensificar o esfor(cid:231)o de pesca desenvolvido pelas frotas durante o per(cid:237)odo compreendido entre 1993 e 1995.

De Commissie van haar kant, ten slotte, is vastbesloten ontwikkelings- projecten in Tibet te stimuleren waarvan de plaatselijke bevolkingsgroepen direct profijt trekken. Ook wat de situatie van de Tibetaanse politieke gevangenen betreft, heeft de Unie verschillende stappen onder- nomen, met name op 19 oktober 1999 in Beijing tijdens de jongste ronde van gesprekken tussen de Unie en China over de rechten van de mens. De Commissie is van mening dat deze strategie momenteel de beste aanpak is van de kwestie Tibet. (2000/C 203 E/169) SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAAG E-2091/99 van Hiltrud Breyer (Verts/ALE) aan de Commissie (19 november 1999) Betreft: Berichten over kans op kanker door (cid:132)Round-up(cid:148) Is het de Commissie bekend dat volgens een bericht in de Berliner Zeitung de EU-Commissie over 1. bewijzen beschikt dat het door Monsanto gentechnisch geproduceerde Round-up kanker veroorzaakt? 2. Kan de Commissie aantonen dat Round-up niet gevaarlijk is voor mens, dier en milieu? Antwoord van de heer Byrne namens de Commissie (16 december 1999) in het gewasbeschermingsmiddel Round-up, wordt momenteel Glyfosaat, de werkzame stof vervat geºvalueerd in het kader van het eerste herzieningsprogramma van bestaande werkzame stoffen, uit- gevoerd krachtens Verordening (EEG) nr. 3600/92 van 11 december 1992 houdende bepalingen voor de uitvoering van de eerste fase van het werkprogramma als bedoeld in artikel 8, lid 2, van Richtlijn 91/414/ EEG van de Raad betreffende het op de markt brengen van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen (1). Het ontwerpe- valuatieverslag over glyfosaat is op 1 februari 1999 door de als rapporteur optredende lidstaat Duitsland aan de Commissie en de lidstaten overgelegd. Overeenkomstig de gebruikelijke procedures als bedoeld in Verordening (EEG) nr. 3600/92 is het ontwerpverslag onmiddellijk voor raadpleging (intercollegiaal onderzoek) toegestuurd aan gespecialiseerde deskundigen uit vijf lidstaten met het oog op het gedetailleerd onderzoek van het ontwerpverslag op alle gebieden van de menselijke gezondheid en de milieuveiligheid (fysisch-chemische eigenschappen, toxicolo- gie residuen, ecotoxicologie, uitwerking op en gedrag in het milieu). De kennisgevers zijn ervan in kennis gesteld dat sommige gegevens noodzakelijk waren voor de afronding van de risico-evaluatie. Met name wanneer evaluatiestudies in laboratoria aanleiding geven tot verontrus- ting, moeten de kennisgevers aantonen dat deze verontrusting niet gerechtvaardigd is onder geºigende veldomstandigheden. Voor glyfosaat zal het grootste gedeelte van deze informatie de komende maanden beschikbaar zijn. De eindresultaten van het intercollegiaal onderzoek zullen met de 15 lidstaten worden besproken in het kader van het Permanent Plantenziektekundig ComitØ. Voordat door de Commissie een besluit wordt genomen, zal het Wetenschappelijk ComitØ voor Planten worden geraadpleegd. Zoals bepaald in Richtlijn 91/414/EEG van de Raad van 15 juli 1991 betreffende het op de markt brengen van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen (2), zal de Commissie in elk geval glyfosaat slechts in Bijlage I van de Richtlijn opnemen als is aangetoond dat het geen schadelijke uitwerking heeft op de gezondheid van mens en dier of het grondwater dan wel geen voor het milieu onaanvaardbaar effect heeft.

text: KOMMISSIONEN FOR DE EUROPÆISKE FÆLLESSKABER Bruxelles, den 19. 11. 1999 KOM(1999) 595 endelig 1999/0241 (ACC) Forslag til RÅDETS FORORDNING om indgåelse af en aftale i form af brevveksling mellem Det Europæiske Fællesskab og Den Tunesiske Republik om ordningen for import til Fællesskabet af olivenolie med oprindelse i Tunesien, om fastsættelse af almindelige regler for import og om ophævelse af forordning (EF) nr. 906/98 (forelagt af Kommissionen) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. BEGRUNDELSE Protokol nr. 1 i Euro-Middelhavsaftalen om oprettelse af en associering mellem De Europæiske Fællesskaber og dets medlemsstater på den ene side og Den Tunesiske Republik på den anden side, der har været i kraft siden første marts 1998, fastsætter en særlig ordning for olivenolie med oprindelse i Tunesien. I henhold til denne ordning anvendes der nedsat told for ubehandlet olivenolie med oprindelse i Tunesien i perioden fra 1. januar 1996 til 31. december 1999 for en mængde på højest 46 000 t pr. produktionsår. Denne ordning ophører den 31. december 1999; i henhold til samme aftale skal situationen genvurderes i løbet af andet halvår af 1999 med henblik på fastsættelse af den ordning, der skal anvendes fra 1. januar 2000. På grund af for korte frister vil de forhandlinger, der er nævnt i punkt 2, ikke være afsluttet før udgangen af 1999. Indtil der er foretaget en genvurdering og for at undgå at afbryde den traditionelle handel med olivenolie, bør den nuværende ordning videreføres midlertidigt for et år og vurderingen af situationen fortsættes med henblik på fastsættelse af den ordning, der skal anvendes fra 1. januar 2001. Konsultationerne med Tunesien herom har resulteret i det udkast til brevveksling, der er vedlagt dette forslag. Formålet med dette forslag er dels at anmode Rådet om at godkende aftalen i form af brevveksling med Tunesien, dels at fastlægge de foranstaltninger, der er nødvendige for brevenes ikraftsættelse, herunder ophævelse af forældede regler. 2 Forslag til RÅDETS FORORDNING om indgåelse af en aftale i form af brevveksling mellem Det Europæiske Fællesskab og Den Tunesiske Republik om ordningen for import til Fællesskabet af olivenolie med oprindelse i Tunesien, om fastsættelse af almindelige regler for import og om ophævelse af forordning (EF) nr. 906/98 RÅDET FOR DEN EUROPÆISKE UNION HAR - under henvisning til traktaten om oprettelse af Det Europæiske Fællesskab, særlig artikel 133 sammenholdt med artikel 300, stk. 2, første punktum, under henvisning til Rådets forordning nr. 136/66/EØF af 22. september 1966 om oprettelse af en fælles markedsordning for fedtstoffer1, senest ændret ved forordning (EF) nr. 1638/982, særlig artikel 36, under henvisning til forslag fra Kommissionen, og ud fra følgende betragtninger: (1) (2) (3) (4) I artikel 3 i protokol nr. 1 i Euro-Middelhavsaftalen om oprettelse af en associering mellem De Europæiske Fællesskaber og medlemsstaterne på den ene side3 og Den Tunesiske Republik på den anden side er det fastsat, at der for ubehandlet olivenolie henhørende under KN-kode 1509 10 10 og 1509 10 90, der udelukkende er fremstillet i Tunesien og transporteret direkte fra dette land til Fællesskabet, opkræves en importtold på 7,81 EUR/100 kg i hvert produktionsår i perioden mellem den 1. januar 1996 og den 31. december 1999 for en mængde på højst 46 000 t pr. produktionsår. Denne ordning ophører den 31. december 1999. Der er indgået en aftale i form af brevveksling, der har fundet sted mellem Det Europæiske Fællesskab og Den Tunesiske Republik, med henblik på videreførelse af den nuværende ordning for perioden fra 1. januar 2000 til 31. december 2000. Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 906/98 om fastsættelse af almindelige regler for indførelse af olivenolie med oprindelse i Tunesien4 anvendes som følge af den nye aftale ikke længere; denne forordning bør derfor formelt ophæves, og der bør fastsættes nye almindelige regler for perioden fra 1. januar 2000 til 31. december 2000. (5) For at lette ikraftsættelsen af aftalens bestemmelser bør Kommissionen kunne vedtage i artikel 38 i de nødvendige foranstaltninger efter den procedure, der er fastsat 1 EFT 172 af 30. 9. 1966, s. 3025/66. 2 EFT L 210 af 28. 7. 1998, s. 32. 3 EFT L 97 af 30. 3. 1998, s. 2. 4 EFT L 128 af 30. 4. 1998, s. 20. 3 (EØF) nr. 136/66. forordning er gennemførelsesforanstaltninger i henhold til artikel 2 i Rådets afgørelse 1999/468/EF af 28. for udøvelsen af de gennemførelsesbeføjelser, der tillægges Kommissionen, bør de fastsættes efter den forvaltningsprocedure, der er omhandlet i nævnte afgørelses artikel 4 - juni 1999 om fastsættelse af de nærmere vilkår foranstaltninger disse Da UDSTEDT FØLGENDE FORORDNING: Artikel 1 Aftalen i form af brevveksling mellem Det Europæiske Fællesskab og Den Tunesiske Republik om ordningen for import til Fællesskabet af ubehandlet olivenolie med oprindelse i Tunesien godkendes på Fællesskabets vegne.

text: 1. 8. 2000 DE Amtsblatt der Europ(cid:228)ischen Gemeinschaften C 219 E/115 Antwort (31. Januar 2000) Die Frau Abgeordnete kennt sicherlich die umfassenden Schlu(cid:223)folgerungen des Rates vom 26. Okto- 1. ber 1999 zur Vorbereitung der dritten WTO-Ministerkonferenz in Seattle. In diesen Schlu(cid:223)folgerungen betonte der Rat, da(cid:223) sichergestellt werden mu(cid:223), da(cid:223) ein angemessenes Gleichgewicht zwischen der weiteren Liberalisierung des Handels und der St(cid:228)rkung der multilateralen Regeln zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung, zum Umweltschutz, zum sozialen Fortschritt, zur Verringerung der Armut und zur Gesund- heit der Verbraucher beitr(cid:228)gt. 2. Ferner wird der Frau Abgeordneten bekannt sein, da(cid:223) die Aspekte (cid:132)Umwelt(cid:147) und (cid:132)Grundlegende Arbeitsnormen(cid:147) ganz weit oben auf dem EU-Arbeitsprogramm f(cid:252)r Seattle standen. Was den erstgenannten Aspekt anbelangt, so hat der Rat auf der Ministerkonferenz bekr(cid:228)ftigt, da(cid:223) w(cid:228)hrend des gesamten Verhandlungsprozesses auch Umweltbelange zum Tragen kommen sollten, so da(cid:223) am Ende der Verhand- lungsrunde in allen einschl(cid:228)gigen Bereichen deutliche Fortschritte in bezug auf die Umweltvertr(cid:228)glichkeit verzeichnet werden k(cid:246)nnen. Der Rat hat sich damit an die von ihm festgelegte Vorgehensweise gehalten, wie sie unter Nummer 11 Buchstabe g der auf seiner Tagung vom 26. Oktober 1999 im Rahmen der Vorbereitung der dritten WTO-Ministerkonferenz angenommenen Schlu(cid:223)folgerungen dargelegt ist. Der Rat verweist die Frau Abgeordnete auf diese Schlu(cid:223)folgerungen. Der Rat tritt entschieden f(cid:252)r den Schutz der grundlegenden Arbeitsnormen ein und hat sich w(cid:228)hrend der gesamten Ministerkonferenz daf(cid:252)r verwendet, da(cid:223) in der Ministererkl(cid:228)rung auf diese Frage eingegangen wird. Damit in der Frage (cid:132)Handel und Arbeitnehmerrechte(cid:147) Fortschritte erzielt werden, hat die EU die Einsetzung eines Gemeinsamen St(cid:228)ndigen IAO/WTO-Arbeitsforums f(cid:252)r Handels-, Globalisierungs- und Arbeitsfragen vorgeschlagen, so da(cid:223) durch einen wirklichen Dialog zwischen allen betroffenen Seiten (einschlie(cid:223)lich Regierungen, Arbeitgeber, Gewerkschaften und anderer einschl(cid:228)giger internationaler Orga- nisationen) ein besseres Verst(cid:228)ndnis f(cid:252)r diese Themen gef(cid:246)rdert wird. Im Rahmen dieses Dialogs sollte auch der Zusammenhang zwischen handelspolitischen Ma(cid:223)nahmen, Handelsliberalisierung, Entwicklung und grundlegenden Arbeitnehmerrechten untersucht werden. Dieses Forum w(cid:252)rde auch ein Ministertreffen vorbereiten, das sp(cid:228)testens im Jahr 2001 stattfinden sollte. Die EU hat angeboten, dieses Treffen aus- zurichten. Dar(cid:252)ber hinaus unterstrich der Rat 3. in seinen Schlu(cid:223)folgerungen vom 26. Oktober 1999 die Notwendigkeit, die B(cid:252)rgergesellschaft an diesem Proze(cid:223) voll zu beteiligen und dazu den Dialog mit ihr fortzusetzen, damit ihre legitimen Interessen und Anliegen ber(cid:252)cksichtigt werden. Der Rat unterstrich ferner die Notwendigkeit der Aufrechterhaltung enger Kontakte mit dem Europ(cid:228)ischen Parlament und den nationalen Parlamenten und forderte zum Dialog mit den Organisationen der B(cid:252)rgergesellschaft auf nationaler wie auch auf europ(cid:228)ischer Ebene auf. 4. Was die letzte Frage der Frau Abgeordneten anbelangt, so sei darauf hingewiesen, da(cid:223) auf der Ministerkonferenz in Seattle kein Einvernehmen (cid:252)ber eine Ministererkl(cid:228)rung, in der die Tagesordnung f(cid:252)r die neue Runde sowie die Modalit(cid:228)ten der Verhandlungen festgelegt werden sollten, erzielt wurde. Die Gespr(cid:228)che (cid:252)ber die Reichweite und den Rahmen einer neuen Runde werden zu gegebener Zeit in Genf fortgef(cid:252)hrt, und es wird noch er(cid:246)rtert, welche Fragen dort zu behandeln sind. Es ist zu bemerken, da(cid:223) die Minister in Seattle die Bedeutung der sozialen Dimension des Handels und der nachhaltigen Entwicklung, f(cid:252)r die die Union eingetreten ist, weitgehend anerkannt haben. Bei dem gesamten bevorstehenden Proze(cid:223) wird die Union sich von den in den Schlu(cid:223)folgerungen des Rates dargelegten Zielen leiten lassen, und zwar unbeschadet des zur Erreichung dieser Ziele als angemessen erachteten Instrumentariums. (2000/C 219 E/146) SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE P-2193/99 von Herman Schmid (GUE/NGL) an die Kommission (19. November 1999) Betrifft: Trichlor(cid:228)thylen Trichlor(cid:228)thylen ist ein fl(cid:252)chtiges L(cid:246)sungsmittel, das zu Nervensch(cid:228)den f(cid:252)hrt und als krebserregend betrachtet wird. Die Kommission hat traditionellerweise eine eher nachsichtige Haltung gegen(cid:252)ber diesem L(cid:246)sungsmittel. In Schweden dagegen wurde das Mittel wie einige andere chlorhaltige L(cid:246)sungsmittel auch ab 1993 in Verbrauchererzeugnissen und in der Industrie seit 1996 verboten. C 219 E/116 Amtsblatt der Europ(cid:228)ischen Gemeinschaften DE 1. 8. 2000 Haben die Kommission und ihre Sachverst(cid:228)ndigen die neuen Forschungsergebnisse mittlerweile (cid:252)ber- nommen, denen zufolge Trichlor(cid:228)thylen als krebserregend einzustufen sei? Antwort von Frau Wallstr(cid:246)m im Namen der Kommission (4. Januar 2000) Seit 1976 wird Trichlorethylen gemeinschaftsweit als (cid:132)gef(cid:228)hrlicher Stoff(cid:147) gem(cid:228)(cid:223) Anhang I der Richtlinie 67/548/EWG des Rates vom 27. Juni 1967 zur Angleichung der Rechts- und Verwaltungsvorschriften f(cid:252)r die Einstufung, Verpackung und Kennzeichnung gef(cid:228)hrlicher Stoffe (1) eingestuft. Seit 1988 wird Trichlore- thylen der Kategorie 3 der krebserzeugenden Stoffe (m(cid:246)gliche krebserzeugende Wirkungen auf den Menschen) zugewiesen. Ferner ist es seit 1996 als umweltgef(cid:228)hrdend eingestuft. Hinsichtlich des Verbots von Trichlorethylen in Schweden ist unbedingt darauf hinzuweisen, da(cid:223) f(cid:252)r die Industrie eine Anzahl Ausnahmen von diesem Verbot bestehen. Auf den von der Kommission veranstalteten Sachverst(cid:228)ndigensitzungen wurde die Frage des Trichlorethy- lens seit 1996 im Hinblick auf seine Neueinstufung und -kennzeichnung regelm(cid:228)(cid:223)ig er(cid:246)rtert. Hierbei wurde immer den neuesten Forschungsergebnissen Rechnung getragen. Dies gilt auch f(cid:252)r die Sitzungen auf nationaler Ebene wie diejenige der Sachverst(cid:228)ndigen vom 2. Dezember 1999 in Frankfurt am Main, wo eine Anzahl epidemiologische Studien, die zu Besorgnis Anla(cid:223) geben, kritisch gepr(cid:252)ft wurden. Angesichts der h(cid:228)ufigen Aussprachen (cid:252)ber Trichlorethylen und der eingehenden Bewertung der verf(cid:252)g- baren Daten ist die Behauptung, die Kommission habe traditionellerweise eine eher nachsichtige Haltung gegen(cid:252)ber diesem Stoff eingenommen, unangebracht. (1) ABl. 196 vom 16. 8. 1967. (2000/C 219 E/147) SCHRIFTLICHE ANFRAGE P-2195/99 von Francesco Speroni (TDI) an die Kommission (19. November 1999) Betrifft: Transport zwischen verschiedenen Terminals eines Flughafens K(cid:252)rzlich stand man im Zusammenhang mit der vorgesehenen Umleitung von Fl(cid:252)gen von Linate nach Malpensa vor dem Problem des Transports zwischen zwei verschiedenen Terminals eines Flughafens. Dieses Problem stellt sich auch f(cid:252)r einen Fluggast, der mit einer anderen Fluglinie als Olympic in Athen ankommt und seine Reise mit Olympic fortsetzen mu(cid:223), die den Gro(cid:223)teil der Inlandsdestinationen abdeckt. Da der Transfer mit kostenpflichtigen Transportmitteln auf einer Strecke au(cid:223)erhalb der Flughafenanlage vollst(cid:228)ndig zu Lasten des Fluggastes geht (im Unterschied zu Malpensa, wo er intern mit einem Gratis- shuttle abgewickelt wird), k(cid:246)nnen sich die Flugg(cid:228)ste, um Unannehmlichkeiten und Zeitverluste zu vermeiden, veranla(cid:223)t sehen, auch f(cid:252)r die Anreise nach Griechenland mit der Gesellschaft Olympic zu fliegen, die damit eine privilegierte Stellung innehat. Ist diese Situation mit den Rechtsvorschriften der Union vereinbar? Anwort von Frau de Palacio im Namen der Kommission (2. Dezember 1999) Gem(cid:228)(cid:223) den der Kommission vorliegenden Informationen besteht in der Tat ein kostenpflichtiger Shuttle- Dienst am Flughafen Athen-Hellenikon zwischen dem Terminal (cid:132)Ost(cid:147), an dem alle Fluggesellschaften landen und starten, die nicht der Gruppe (cid:132)Olympic Airways(cid:147) angeh(cid:246)ren, und dem Terminal (cid:132)West(cid:147), der der Fluggesellschaft (cid:132)Olympic Airways(cid:147) vorbehalten ist
