      COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2005/10/EC
   of 4 February 2005
   laying down the sampling methods and the methods of analysis for the official control of the levels of benzo(a)pyrene in foodstuffs
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Directive 85/591/EEC of 20 December 1985 concerning the introduction of Community methods of sampling and analysis for the monitoring of foodstuffs intended for human consumption (1), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 of 8 March 2001 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (2) fixes maximum levels for benzo(a)pyrene and makes reference to measures laying down the sampling and analysis methods to be used.

               (2)

               Council Directive 93/99/EEC of 29 October 1993 on the subject of additional measures concerning the official control of foodstuffs (3) introduces a system of quality standards for laboratories entrusted by the Member States with the official control of foodstuffs.

               (3)

               It seems necessary to fix general criteria, which the method of analysis has to comply with in order to ensure that laboratories, in charge of the control, use methods of analysis with comparable levels of performance. It is also of major importance that analytical results are reported and interpreted in a uniform way in order to ensure a harmonised enforcement approach. These interpretation rules are of application for the analytical result obtained on the sample for official control. In case of analysis for defence or referee purposes, the national rules apply.

               (4)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
   Article 1
   The Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that the sampling for the official control of the levels of benzo(a)pyrene in foodstuffs is carried out in accordance with the methods described in the Annex I to this Directive.
   Article 2
   The Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that sample preparation and methods of analyses used for the official control of the levels of benzo(a)pyrene in foodstuffs comply with the criteria described in the Annex II to this Directive.
   Article 3
   The Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive within 12 months following its publication. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
   When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
   Article 4
   This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

      Done at Brussels, 4 February 2005.

      (2)  OJ L 77, 16.3.2001, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 208/2005 (See page 3 of this Official Journal).

      (3)  OJ L 290, 24.11.1993, p. 14. Directive as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1882/2003.

      ANNEX I
      METHODS OF SAMPLING FOR OFFICIAL CONTROL OF THE LEVELS OF BENZO(A)PYRENE IN FOODSTUFFS
      1.   Purpose and Scope
      Samples intended for official checking of the levels of benzo(a)pyrene in foodstuffs shall be taken according to the methods described below. Aggregate samples thus obtained shall be considered as representative of the lots. Compliance with maximum levels laid down in Regulation (EC) No 466/2001 shall be established on the basis of the levels determined in the laboratory samples.
      2.   Definitions
      ‘Lot’: an identifiable quantity of a food commodity delivered at one time and having been determined by the official to have common characteristics, such as origin, variety, type of packing, packer, consignor or markings.
      ‘Sublot’: designated part of a lot in order to apply the sampling method on that designated part; each sublot must be physically separate and identifiable.
      ‘Incremental sample’: a quantity of material taken from a single place in the lot or sublot.
      ‘Aggregate sample’: the combined total of all the incremental samples taken from the lot or sublot.
      ‘Laboratory sample’: sample intended for the laboratory.
      3.   General provisions
      3.1.   Personnel
      Sampling shall be performed by an authorised person as specified by the Member States.
      3.2.   Material to be sampled
      Each lot which is to be examined must be sampled separately.
      3.3.   Precautions to be taken
      In the course of sampling and preparation of the samples precautions must be taken to avoid any changes, which would affect the benzo(a)pyrene content, adversely affect the analytical determination or make the aggregate samples unrepresentative.
      3.4.   Incremental samples
      As far as possible incremental samples should be taken at various places distributed throughout the lot or sublot. Departure from this procedure must be recorded in the record.
      3.5.   Preparation of the aggregate sample
      The aggregate sample is made up by uniting all incremental samples. This aggregate sample is homogenised in the laboratory unless this is incompatible with implementation of point 3.6.
      3.6.   Replicate laboratory samples
      Replicate laboratory samples for enforcement, trade (defence) and referee purposes shall be taken from the homogenised aggregate sample unless this conflicts with Member States’ rules on sampling.
      3.7.   Packaging and transmission of samples
      Each sample shall be placed in a clean, inert container offering adequate protection from contamination and against damage in transit. All necessary precautions shall be taken to avoid any change in composition of the sample, which might arise during transportation or storage.
      3.8.   Sealing and labelling of samples
      Each sample taken for official use shall be sealed at the place of sampling and identified following the Member State’s rules.
      A record must be kept of each sampling, permitting each lot to be identified unambiguously and giving the date and place of sampling together with any additional information likely to be of assistance to the analyst.
      4.   Sampling plans
      The sampling method applied shall ensure that the aggregate sample is representative for the lot that is to be controlled.
      4.1.   Number of incremental samples
      In the case of oils, for which a homogeneous distribution of benzo(a)pyrene can be assumed within a given lot, it is sufficient to take three incremental samples per lot to form the aggregate sample. Reference to the lot number shall be given. For olive oil and olive pomace oil further information on sampling is given in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1989/2003 (1).
      For other products, the minimum number of incremental samples to be taken from the lot shall be as given in Table 1. The incremental samples shall be of similar weight, no less than 100g each, resulting in an aggregate sample of no less than 300g (see point 3.5).
      TABLE 1
      Minimum number of incremental samples to be taken from the lot

                  Weight of lot (in kg)

                  Minimum number of incremental samples to be taken

                  > 500

                  10

            If the lot consists of individual packages, then the number of packages which shall be taken to form the aggregate sample is given in Table 2.

                  About 5 %, at least 2 packages or units

                  > 100

                  About 5 %, at maximum 10 packages or units

            4.2.   Sampling at retail stage
      Sampling of foodstuffs at the retail stage should be done where possible in accordance with the above sampling provisions. Where this is not possible, other effective sampling procedures at retail stage can be used provided that they ensure sufficient representativeness for the sampled lot.
      5.   Compliance of the lot or sublot with the specification
      The control laboratory shall analyse the laboratory sample for enforcement in duplicate analyses in cases where the obtained result of the first analysis is less than 20 % below or above the maximum level, and in these cases shall calculate the mean of the results.
      The lot is accepted if the result of the first analysis or, where duplicate analysis is necessary, if the mean does not exceed the respective maximum level (as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 466/2001) taking into account the measurement uncertainty and correction for recovery.
      The lot is non-compliant with the maximum level (as laid down in Regulation (EC) 466/2001) if the result of the first analysis or, where duplicate analysis is necessary, if the mean exceeds the maximum level beyond reasonable doubt taking into account the measurement uncertainty and correction for recovery.

      ANNEX II
      SAMPLE PREPARATION AND CRITERIA FOR METHODS OF ANALYSIS USED IN OFFICIAL CHECKING OF THE LEVELS OF BENZO(A)PYRENE IN FOODSTUFFS
      1.   Precautions and general considerations for benzo(a)pyrene in food samples
      The basic requirement is to obtain a representative and homogeneous laboratory sample without introducing secondary contamination.
      The analyst should ensure that samples do not become contaminated during sample preparation. Containers should be rinsed with high purity acetone or hexane (p.A., HLPC grade or equivalent) before use to minimise the risk of contamination. Wherever possible, apparatus coming into contact with the sample should be made of inert materials e.g. aluminium, glass or polished stainless steel. Plastics such as polypropylene, PTFE etc. should be avoided because the analyte can adsorb onto these materials.
      All of the sample material received by the laboratory is to be used for the preparation of test material. Only very finely homogenised samples give reproducible results.
      There are many satisfactory specific sample preparation procedures which may be used.
      2.   Treatment of the sample as received in the laboratory
      Finely grind (where relevant) and mix thoroughly the complete aggregate sample using a process that has been demonstrated to achieve complete homogenisation.
      3.   Subdivision of samples for enforcement and defence purposes
      The replicate samples for enforcement, trade (defence) and referee purposes shall be taken from the homogenised material unless this conflicts with Member States’ rules on sampling.
      4.   Method of analysis to be used by the laboratory and laboratory control requirements
      4.1.   Definitions
      A number of the most commonly used definitions that the laboratory will be required to use are given below:

                  r

                  =

                  Repeatability, the value below which the absolute difference between two single test results obtained under repeatability conditions (i.e., same sample, same operator, same apparatus, same laboratory, and short interval of time) may be expected to lie within a specific probability (typically 95 %) and hence .

                  sr

                  =

                  Standard deviation, calculated from results generated under repeatability conditions.

                  RSDr

                  =

                  Relative standard deviation, calculated from results generated under repeatability conditions .

                  R

                  =

                  Reproducibility, the value below which the absolute difference between single test results obtained under reproducibility conditions (i.e., on identical material obtained by operators in different laboratories, using the standardised test method), may be expected to lie within a certain probability (typically 95 %); .

                  sR

                  =

                  Standard deviation, calculated from results under reproducibility conditions.

                  RSDR

                  =

                  Relative standard deviation calculated from results generated under reproducibility conditions , where  is the average of results over all laboratories and samples.

                  HORRATr

                  =

                  the observed RSDr divided by the RSDr value estimated from the Horwitz equation (1) using the assumption r = 0.66R.

                  HORRATR

                  =

                  the observed RSDR value divided by the RSDR value calculated from the Horwitz equation.

                  U

                  =

                  the expanded uncertainty, using a coverage factor of 2 which gives a level of confidence of approximately 95 %.

            4.2.   General requirements
      Methods of analysis used for food control purposes must comply with points 1 and 2 of the Annex to Council Directive 85/591/EEC.
      4.3.   Specific requirements
      Where no specific methods for the determination of benzo(a)pyrene in food are prescribed at Community level, laboratories may select any validated method provided the selected method meets the performance criteria indicated in the Table. The validation should ideally include a certified reference material.
      TABLE
      Performance criteria for methods of analysis for benzo(a)pyrene

                  Parameter

                  Value/comment

                  Applicability

                  Food specified in Regulation (EC) No …/2005

                  Detection limit

                  No more than 0,3 μg/kg

                  Limit of quantification

                  No more than 0,9 μg/kg

                  Precision

                  HORRATr or HORRATR values of less than 1.5 in the validation collaborative trial

                  Recovery

                  50 %-120 %

                  Specificity

                  Free from matrix or spectral interferences, verification of positive detection

            4.3.1.   Performance Criteria — Uncertainty Function Approach
      However, an uncertainty approach may also be used to assess the suitability of the method of analysis to be used by the laboratory. The laboratory may use a method which will produce results within a maximum standard uncertainty. The maximum standard uncertainty can be calculated using the following formula:

      where:

                     Uf

                  is the maximum standard uncertainty

                  LOD

                  is the limit of detection of the method

                  C

                  is the concentration of interest

            If an analytical method provides results with uncertainty measurements less than the maximum standard uncertainty the method will be equally suitable to one which meets the performance characteristics given in the Table.
      4.4.   Recovery calculation and reporting of results
      The analytical result is to be reported corrected or uncorrected for recovery. The manner of reporting and the level of recovery must be reported. The analytical result corrected for recovery is used for checking compliance (see Annex I, point 5).
      The analyst should note the ‘European Commission Report on the relationship between analytical results, the measurement of uncertainty, recovery factors and the provisions in EU food legislation’ (2).
      The analytical result has to be reported as x +/– U whereby x is the analytical result and U is the measurement uncertainty.
      4.5.   Laboratory quality standards
      Laboratories must comply with Directive 93/99/EEC.
      4.6.   Other considerations for the analysis
      Proficiency testing
      Participation in appropriate proficiency testing schemes which comply with the ‘International Harmonised Protocol for the Proficiency Testing of (Chemical) Analytical Laboratories’ (3) developed under the auspices of IUPAC/ISO/AOAC.
      Internal quality control
      Laboratories should be able to demonstrate that they have internal quality control procedures in place. Examples of these are the ‘ISO/AOAC/IUPAC Guidelines on Internal Quality Control in Analytical Chemistry Laboratories’ (4).

      COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2008/14/EC
   of 15 February 2008
   amending Council Directive 76/768/EEC, concerning cosmetic products, for the purpose of adapting Annex III thereto to technical progress
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products (1), and in particular Article 8(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Directive 76/768/EEC prohibits the use in cosmetic products of substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (hereinafter CMR), of category 1, 2 and 3, under Annex I to Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (2). However, the use of substances classified in category 3 pursuant to Directive 67/548/EEC may be allowed subject to evaluation and approval by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP).

               (2)

               In so far as the SCCP considers that glyoxal, a substance classified as CMR of category 3 under Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC represents a negligible risk when present up to 100 ppm in cosmetic products, Annex III to Directive 76/768/EEC needs to be amended accordingly.

               (3)

               Directive 76/768/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (4)

               In order to ensure a smooth progression from the existing formulae of cosmetic products to formulae which comply with the requirements laid down in this Directive, it is necessary to provide for appropriate transitional periods.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Cosmetic Products,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
   Article 1
   Part 1 of Annex III to Directive 76/768/EEC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive.
   Article 2
   Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that products which fail to comply with this Directive are not sold or disposed of to the final consumer after 16 February 2009.
   Article 3
   1.   Member States shall adopt and publish, by 16 August 2008 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.
   They shall apply those provisions from 16 November 2008.
   When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
   2.   Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
   Article 4
   This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   Article 5
   This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

      Done at Brussels, 15 February 2008.

Directive 98/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 amending, as regards in particular mortgages, Council Directive 89/647/EEC on a solvency ratio for credit institutions

Official Journal L 204 , 21/07/1998 P. 0026 - 0028

DIRECTIVE 98/32/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 22 June 1998 amending, as regards in particular mortgages, Council Directive 89/647/EEC on a solvency ratio for credit institutionsTHE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the first and third sentences of Article 57(2) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 189b of the Treaty (3),(1) Whereas it is appropriate to treat mortgage-backed securities as loans referred to in Article 6(1)(c)(1) and Article 11(4) of Council Directive 89/647/EEC (4) if the competent authorities consider that they are equivalent in the light of the credit risk; whereas the market for securitisation is undergoing rapid development; whereas it is therefore desirable that the Commission should examine with the Member States the prudential treatment of asset-backed securities and put forward, within a year from the adoption of this Directive, proposals aimed at adapting existing legislation in order to define an appropriate prudential treatment for asset-backed securities;(2) Whereas Article 11(4) of Directive 89/647/EEC provides for a derogation from Article 6(1)(c)(1), on certain conditions, for four Member States as regards the weighting to be applied to assets secured by mortgages on offices or on multi-purpose commercial premises; whereas this derogation expired on 1 January 1996;(3) Whereas when Directive 89/647/EEC was adopted, the Commission undertook to examine this derogation to determine whether, in the light of its findings and of international developments and in view of the need to avoid distortions of competition, there was a case for amending this provision and, if so, to put forward appropriate proposals; whereas the results of the study relating to this provision, although not absolutely conclusive, show that there is no significant difference between the rates of losses recorded in the Member States covered by the derogation and in those not covered; whereas, therefore, this derogation can be extended to all Member States which so wish until 31 December 2006;(4) Whereas the property to which the mortgage relates must be subject to rigorous assessment criteria and regular revaluation to take account of the developments in the commercial property market; whereas the property must be either occupied or let by the owner; whereas loans for property development are excluded from this provision;(5) Whereas this Directive is the most appropriate means for attaining the objectives sought and does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve these objectives,HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:Article 1 Directive 89/647/EEC is amended as follows:1. In Article 6(1)(c)(1) the following subparagraph shall be added:'"mortgage-backed securities" which may be treated as loans referred to in the first subparagraph or in Article 11(4), if the competent authorities consider, having regard to the legal framework in force in each Member State, that they are equivalent in the light of the credit risk. Without prejudice to the types of securities which may be included in and are capable of fulfilling the conditions in this point 1, "mortgage-backed securities" may include instruments within the meaning of Section B(1)(a) and (b) of the Annex to Council Directive 93/22/EEC of 10 May 1993 on investment services in the securities field (*). The competent authorities must in particular be satisfied that:(i) such securities are fully and directly backed by a pool of mortgages which are of the same nature as those defined in the first subparagraph or in Article 11(4) and are fully performing when the mortgage-backed securities are created;(ii) an acceptable high-priority charge on the underlying mortgage asset items is held either directly by investors in mortgage-backed securities or on their behalf by a trustee or mandated representative in the same proportion to the securities which they hold.(*) OJ L 141, 11.6.1993, p. 27. Directive as last amended by Directive 95/26/EC (OJ L 168, 18.7.1995, p. 7)`.2. Article 11(4) is replaced by the following:'4. Until 31 December 2006, the competent authorities of the Member States may authorise their credit institutions to apply a 50 % risk weighting to loans fully and completely secured to their satisfaction by mortgages on offices or on multi-purpose commercial premises situated within the territory of those Member States that allow the 50 % risk weighting, subject to the following conditions:(i) the 50 % risk weighting applies to the part of the loan that does not exceed a limit calculated according to either (a) or (b):(a) 50 % of the market value of the property in question.The market value of the property must be calculated by two independent valuers making independent assessments at the time the loan is made. The loan must be based on the lower of the two valuations.The property shall be revalued at least once a year by one valuer. For loans not exceeding ECU 1 million and 5 % of the own funds of the credit institution, the property shall be revalued at least every three years by one valuer;(b) 50 % of the market value of the property or 60 % of the mortgage lending value, whichever is lower, in those Member States that have laid down rigorous criteria for the assessment of the mortgage lending value in statutory or regulatory provisions.The mortgage lending value shall mean the value of the property as determined by a valuer making a prudent assessment of the future marketability of the property by taking into account long-term sustainable aspects of the property, the normal and local market conditions, the current use and alternative appropriate uses of the property. Speculative elements shall not be taken into account in the assessment of the mortgage lending value. The mortgage lending value shall be documented in a transparent and clear manner.At least every three years or if the market falls by more than 10 %, the mortgage lending value and in particular the underlying assumptions concerning the development of the relevant market, shall be reassessed.In both (a) and (b) "market value" shall mean the price at which the property could be sold under private contract between a willing seller and an arm's length buyer on the date of valuation, it being assumed that the property is publicly exposed to the market, that market conditions permit orderly disposal and that a normal period, having regard to the nature of the property, is available for the negotiation of the sale;(ii) the 100 % risk weighting applies to the part of the loan that exceeds the limits set out in (i);(iii) the property must be either used or let by the owner.The first subparagraph shall not prevent the competent authorities of a Member State, which applies a higher risk weighting in its territory, from allowing, under the conditions defined above, the 50 % risk weighting to apply for this type of lending in the territories of those Member States that allow the 50 % risk weighting.The competent authorities of the Member States may allow their credit institutions to apply a 50 % risk weighting to the loans outstanding on 21 July 2000 provided that the conditions listed in this paragraph are fulfilled. In this case the property shall be valued according to the assessment criteria laid down above not later than 21 July 2003.For loans granted before 31 December 2006, the 50 % risk weighting remains applicable until their maturity, if the credit institution is bound to observe the contractual terms.Until 31 December 2006, the competent authorities of the Member State may also authorise their credit institutions to apply a 50 % risk weighting to the part of the loans fully and completely secured to their satisfaction by shares in Finnish housing companies operating in accordance with the Finnish Housing Company Act of 1991 or subsequent equivalent legislation, provided that the conditions laid down in this paragraph are fulfilled.Member States shall inform the Commission of the use they make of this paragraph.`3. Article 11(5) shall be replaced by the following:'5. Member States may apply a 50 % risk weighting to property leasing transactions concluded before 31 December 2006 and concerning assets for business use situated in the country of the head office and governed by statutory provisions whereby the lessor retains full ownership of the rented asset until the tenant exercises his option to purchase. Member States shall inform the Commission of the use they make of this paragraph`.Article 2 1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 24 months after its entry into force. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such reference shall be laid down by Member States.2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the main provisions of domestic law which they adopt in the filed governed by this Directive.Article 3 This Directive shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.Article 4 This Directive is addressed to the Member States.Done at Luxembourg, 22 June 1998.For the European ParliamentThe PresidentJ.
