   amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, the Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for lead in solders on printed circuit boards of detectors and data acquisition units for Positron Emission Tomographs which are integrated into Magnetic Resonance Imaging equipment
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of lead in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market.

               (2)

               Strong vibrations occur in Positron Emission Tomographs which are integrated into Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Research has shown that lead-free solders that have been investigated for vibration susceptibility are more vulnerable to early failure under the severe vibration conditions than bonds made with tin/lead solder. The specific conditions and geometrical restrictions of the equipment restrict the applicability of mechanical measures that could eliminate or sufficiently mitigate the effects of the intense vibration.

               (3)

               Substitution or elimination of lead is currently scientifically and technically impracticable. A temporary exemption is needed to allow manufacturers sufficient time for research to identify suitable lead-free materials and designs.

               (4)

               Directive 2011/65/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
   Article 1
   Annex IV to Directive 2011/65/EU is amended as set out in the Annex to this Directive.

   of 13 March 2014
   amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress, Annex III to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards an exemption for Mercury in hand crafted luminous discharge tubes (HLDTs) used for signs, decorative or architectural and specialist lighting and light-artwork
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (1), and in particular Article 5(1)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Directive 2011/65/EU prohibits the use of mercury in electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market.

               (2)

               Handcrafted luminous discharge tubes (HLDTs) are handmade special purpose lamps which exist in a broad variety. Examples are neon signs, individual architectural illumination and special light emitters in the chemical analytical research. As HLDTs are used for indoor and outdoor applications and with an individual colour spectrum composition, they have to work reliably under sensitive and cold conditions with very high life expectations because they are often difficult to access. In order to function properly under these conditions, HLDTs require a minimum quantity of mercury.

               (3)

               The elimination or substitution of mercury in HLDTs and the complete substitution of HLDTs with other technologies such as LED is scientifically and technically impracticable. The use of mercury in HLDTs used for signs, decorative or architectural and specialist lighting and light-artwork should therefore be exempted from the prohibition. The use of mercury should be limited to the necessary minimum amount and the validity period should end 31 December 2018, in order to avoid adverse impacts on innovation.

               (4)

               Directive 2011/65/EU should therefore be amended accordingly,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DIRECTIVE 2012/37/EU
   of 22 November 2012
   amending certain Annexes of Council Directives 66/401/EEC and 66/402/EEC as regards the conditions to be satisfied by the seed of Galega orientalis Lam., the maximum weight of a seed lot of certain fodder plant species and the sample size of Sorghum spp.
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), and in particular Article 21a thereof,
   Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (2), and in particular Article 21a thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Hardseededness is a typical characteristic of Galega orientalis Lam. Therefore, the quality requirements of the species as regards minimum germination should be supplemented with certain information regarding that characteristic.

               (2)

               Directive 66/401/EEC provides for the maximum weight of a seed lot to avoid heterogeneity in lots as regards seed testing.

               (3)

               Since changes in seed production and marketing practices, in particular the increased size of the seed crop production and the methods of transporting seed suggested that an increase in the maximum prescribed lot weight for seed of grasses might be desirable, a temporary experiment was organised in accordance with Commission Decision 2007/66/EC (3).

               (4)

               That experiment showed that under the new conditions production plants are able to produce sufficiently homogenous seed lots of higher sizes. Therefore, Member States should be allowed to authorise the increase of the maximum weight of seed lots of grass species.

               (5)

               The conditions for seed production, field inspection, sampling and testing provided for in Directive 66/402/EEC are based on internationally accepted methods and standards, such as those established by the International Seed Testing Association (ISTA).

               (6)

               The quality requirements set for the species Sorghum spp. are mainly based on the species Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench. As a result of the newly developed market for forage and biomass production the demand for other subspecies and hybrids of Sorghum spp. with smaller grain size and thinner and platter form has increased. Consequently, the requirements for separate subspecies should be further developed in order to take into consideration their seed characteristics.

               (7)

               The species Sorghum spp. should be differentiated into Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, Sorghum sudanense (Piper) Stapf and hybrids thereof, and their sample sizes should be adapted to the standards set by the ISTA.

               (8)

               Directives 66/401/EEC and 66/402/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (9)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

   Whereas:

               (1)

               Point (2)(b) of Section I of Annex II to Directive 2002/57/EC lays down the minimum varietal purity of seed of hybrids of swede rape.

               (2)

               The current purity standard of 90 % which is applicable for hybrid varieties of both spring swede rape and winter swede rape does no longer reflect the special technical features nor the limitations in seed production of spring swede rape.

               (3)

               The conditions for seed production provided for in Directive 2002/57/EC are based on internationally accepted standards of the Seed Schemes established by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development).

               (4)

               The varietal purity standard for the seed of spring swede rape should be adapted to the standard set by the OECD.

               (5)

               Annex II to Directive 2002/57/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

                              —

                              certified seed of winter swede rape varieties: 90,0 %,
