EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM. The International Sugar Agreement 1992, (hereinafter: the “Agreement”) was concluded by the Community by Decision 92/580/EEC1 and entered into force on 1 January 1993 for a period of three years until 31 December 1995.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM. Keeping in view the implementation of Digital Addressable Systems (DAS) and to enable the sector to realize its benefits, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), after due consultation process, published a ‘new regulatory framework’ for digital addressable systems on 3rd March 2017. This framework comprises of the Telecommunication (Broadcasting and Cable ) Services Interconnection (Addressable Systems) Regulations, 2017, the Telecommunication (Broadcasting and Cable) Services Standards of Quality of Service and Consumer Protection (Addressable Systems) Regulations, 2017 and the Telecommunication (Broadcasting and Cable) Services (Eighth) (Addressable Systems) Tariff Order, 2017 for providing broadcasting services relating to television through the digital addressable systems. The new regulatory framework was notified in March 2017. However, pursuant to legal challenges to the said regulations, the regulations were notified on 3rd July 2018 and came into effect from 29th December 2018 after satisfying legal pronouncements.
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM. The ACP-EC Partnership Agreement signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, was revised in Luxembourg on 25 June 2005. The financial framework necessary to implement this Partnership Agreement for the period 2008 to 2013 was adopted by the Council and enshrined in the Internal Agreement of 17 July 2006. It covers commitments beginning on 1 January 2008 for a period of six years. In order to implement this financial framework, the Internal Agreement notably establishes a 10th European Development Fund (EDF) and foresees in its Article 10 (2) that a financial regulation should be adopted before the entry into force of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement. The present Commission communication aims at presenting a proposal for the financial regulation applicable to the 10th EDF. It has been aligned as far as possible with the provisions of the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities as revised on 13 December 2006 (General Financial Regulation), while taking into account the specificity of the EDF whose financing remains outside the EU budget. Contrary to the general Financial Regulation, there are no implementing rules completing the financial regulation applicable to the EDF. Nethertheless, some issues which do not necessarily need to be dealt with in extenso in the financial regulation deserved clarification. Since this clarification already exists in the implementing rules applicable to the general Financial Regulation, and in order to avoid repetition, the Commission proposes that, when necessary, some articles directly refer to the implementing rules of the general Financial Regulation. As provided for in Article 10 (2) of the Internal Agreement, the Commission's proposal shall be submitted to the Council for adoption, as well as to the Court of Auditors and the European Investment Bank for an opinion.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM. An Agreement was signed with the United States of America, in the context of the conclusion of the GATT Article XXIV:6 negotiations, concerning EC's import regime for cereals and rice. According to the terms of that Agreement "The United States and the European Community agree that in the first quarter of 1996 and subsequently at the request of either party, the United States Government and the Commission of the European Communities shall review the functioning of the "representative price" system for cereals and rice. If it appears to either party that the functioning of the system is materially impeding trade flows between the parties, the Commission in consultation with the United States Government shall promptly examine the problems identified with a view to implementing appropriate solutions." Such problems were identified for barley for malting in 1996, 1997 and 1998, and a tariff quota of 30 000 tonnes was opened for the period 1 June to 31 December 1996, and annual tariff quotas of 50 000 tonnes were opened for 1997 and 1998. The problems identified in 1996-98 continue to persist, and it is therefore proposed to open an annual tariff quota of 50 000 tonnes for 1999 and 2000.
