         COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2013/10/EU
   of 19 March 2013
   amending Council Directive 75/324/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to aerosol dispensers in order to adapt its labelling provisions to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Directive 75/324/EEC of 20 May 1975 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to aerosol dispensers (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Directive 75/324/EEC provides for the classification of aerosol dispensers as ‘non-flammable’, ‘flammable’ or ‘extremely flammable’, according to the classification criteria provided for in its Annex. Where an aerosol dispenser is classified as ‘flammable’ or ‘extremely flammable’, it must bear the flame symbol and the safety phrases S2 and S16 provided for in Council Directive 67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (2).

               (2)

               Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (3) provides for the harmonisation of the classification and labelling of substances and mixtures within the Union. It incorporates at Union level the criteria for classification and labelling of substances and mixtures provided for by the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals which has been adopted at the international level, within the structure of the United Nations.

               (3)

               Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 will repeal and replace Directive 67/548/EEC and Directive 1999/45/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 1999 concerning the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous preparations (4) as from 1 June 2015. It is therefore necessary to adapt the labelling provisions of Directive 75/324/EEC to that Regulation.

               (4)

               In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, a distinction should be made between the date of applicability of national transposition provisions for aerosol dispensers containing a single substance and the date of applicability of national transposition provisions for aerosol dispensers containing mixtures. However, manufacturers of aerosol dispensers containing mixtures should be allowed to apply the labelling requirements of this Directive earlier, on a voluntary basis.

               (5)

               In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, and in order to avoid imposing unnecessary burdens on enterprises, a transitional period is provided for aerosol dispensers containing mixtures, labelled in accordance with the applicable provisions before 1 June 2015 and placed on the market until that date, allowing them their further marketing without relabelling.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Adaptation to Technical Progress of the Directive on aerosol dispensers,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Council Directive 91/296/EEC of 31 May 1991 on the transit of natural gas through grids

Official Journal L 147 , 12/06/1991 P. 0037 - 0040 Finnish special edition: Chapter 12 Volume 2 P. 0143  Swedish special edition: Chapter 12 Volume 2 P. 0143

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 31 May 1991  on the transit of natural gas through grids  (91/296/EEC) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regad to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),  In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),  Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),  Whereas it is necessary to adopt measures with the aim of progressively establishing the internal market during the period ending 31 December 1992; whereas successive European Councils have recognized the need for a single internal market and,  particularly in Rhodes, the need for a single energy market;  Whereas completion of the internal market in energy in general, and more particularly in the natural gas sector, requires the development of a Community energy strategy that will be equal to the challenges of:  - security of supply,  - environmental protection;  Whereas there must be greater integration of the European energy market if the single internal market is to be achieved; whereas natural gas is an essential component of the Community's energy balance;  Whereas greater reliance on natural gas is desirable as part of diversification of energy sources;  Whereas the completion of the internal market for energy, more particularly in the natural gas sector, will take into account the objective of economic and social cohesion;  Whereas the objective of the internal natural gas market is to ensure greater profitability, compatibility with the environment and security of supplies by free trade, without unacceptable restrictions on competition; whereas the specific  characteristics of the natural gas sector must be taken into account if the pursuit of this objective is to be successful;  Whereas in completing the internal market in natural gas, consideration should be given not only to comparable features in the Member States but equally to sometimes significant differences;  Whereas trade in natural gas between the high-pressure gas transmission grids of European countries is increasing from year to year and has implications in terms of investment; whereas the Community's security of natural gas supply could be improved and  costs reduced by operating the interconnections required for such trade;  Whereas the exchange of natural gas between high-pressure gas transmission grids is being conducted on such a scale that the transactions requested and their consequences should be systematically known to the Commission;  Whereas it is possible and desirable to increase natural gas transfers between grids and also take account of the imperatives of security and quality of natural gas supply; whereas studies show that greater natural gas transfers between grids can  minimize the cost of investment;  Whereas in the future additional interconnections between several Member States will need to be made to allow adequate supplies;  Whereas increased natural gas transfers between grids would also encourage cooperation between natural gas transmission companies to find ways of improving natural gas transmission equipment; whereas such improvements will also cut costs;  Whereas there are still obstacles to increased trade in natural gas between grids; whereas, provided that they are not due to the nature of the technology used or of the grids themselves, such obstacles can be reduced by making the transit of natural  gas through grids compulsory and introducing an appropriate system for monitoring compliance with this obligation;  Whereas this obligation and monitoring system concern the transit of natural gas involved in trade which is in the Community interest, namely transit through high-pressure grids;  Whereas the financial, technical and legal conditions of such transit must, as a general rule, be worked out directly between the grids concerned;  Whereas the conditions of transit should be fair and should not bring about, directly or indirectly, conditions contrary to Community competition rules;  Whereas, in order to facilitate the conclusion of transit contracts, the Commission is providing for a conciliation procedure to be set up under which submission will be compulsory at the request of one of the parties, without the result of that  procedure producing a legally binding effect;  Whereas it is necessary to approximate the provisions adopted by the Member States which affect the transit of natural gas;  Whereas the establishment of an internal natural gas market will stimulate the gradual dynamic integration of national natural gas grids; whereas in this context special infrastructure measures would held to accelerate the linking-up of outlying areas  and islands in the Community to the overall interconnected grid;  Whereas the interconnection of European grids extends over a geographical territory which does not coincide with the Community's frontiers: whereas there is an obvious advantage in seeking cooperation with third countries involved in the interconnected  European grid,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:  Article 1  Member States shall take the measures necessary to facilitate transit of natural gas between high-pressure transmission grids in accordance with the conditions laid down in this Directive.  Article 2  1. Every transaction for the transport of natural gas under the following conditions shall constitute transit of natural gas between grids, for the purpose of this Directive, without prejudice to any special agreements concluded between the  Community and third countries:  (a) transmission is carried out by the entity or entities responsible in each Member State for high-pressure natural gas grids, with the exception of distribution grids, in a Member State's territory which contribute to the efficent operation of  European high-pressure interconnections;  (b) the grid of origin or final destination is situated in the Community;  (c) this transport involves the crossing of at least one intra-Community frontier.  2. The high-pressure natural gas transmission grids and the entities responsible for them in the Member States, which are listed in the Annex, shall be covered by this Directive. This list shall be updated by the Commission, after consultation with the  Member State concerned, whenever necessary within the context of the objectives of this Directive and in particular taking into account paragraph 1 (a).  Article 3  1. Contracts involving transit of natural gas between grids shall be negotiated between the entities responsible for those grids and for the quality of service provided and, where appropriate, with the entities responsible in the Member  States for importing and exporting natural gas.  2. The conditions of transit shall, pursuant to the rules of the Treaty, be non-discriminatory and fair for all parties concerned, shall not include unfair clauses or unjustified restrictions and not endanger security of supply nor quality of service,  in particular taking full account of the utilization of reserve production and storage capacity and the most efficient operation of existing systems.  3. Member States shall taken the measures necessary to ensure that the entities under their jurisdiction referred to in the Annex act without delay to:  - notify the Commission and the national authorities concerned of any request for transit;  - open negotiations on the conditions of the natural gas transit requested;  - inform the Commission and the national authorities concerned of the conclusion of a transit contract;  - inform the Commission and the national authorities concerned of the reasons for the failure of the negotiations to result in the conclusion of a contract within twelve months following communication of the request.  4. Each of the entities concerned may request that the conditions of transit be subject to conciliation by a body, set up and chaired by the Commission on which the entities responsible for grids in the Community are represented.  Article 4  If the reasons for the absence of agreement on a request for transit appear unjustified or insufficient, the Commission, acting on a complaint from the requesting body or on its own initiative, shall implement the procedures provided for by  Community law.  Article 5  Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive before 1 January 1992. 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 a reference shall be laid down by the Member  States.  Article 6  This Directive is addressed to the Member States. Done at Brussels, 31 May 1991.

         COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2013/28/EU
   of 17 May 2013
   amending Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on end-of-life vehicles
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 September 2000 on end-of life vehicles (1), and in particular Article 4(2)(b) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 4(2)(a) of Directive 2000/53/EC prohibits the use of lead, mercury, cadmium or hexavalent chromium in materials and components of vehicles put on the market after 1 July 2003.

               (2)

               Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC lists vehicle materials and components exempted from the prohibition set out in Article 4(2)(a) thereof. Vehicles put on the market before the expiry date of a given exemption and spare parts for those vehicles may contain lead, mercury, cadmium or hexavalent chromium in materials and components listed in Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC.

               (3)

               Item 8(i) of Annex II provides for an exemption for lead in solders in electrical glazing applications on glass except for soldering in laminated glazing, which expires on 1 January 2013.

               (4)

               An assessment of technical and scientific progress has demonstrated that the use of lead in the application covered by item 8(i) is unavoidable, as the substitutes are not yet available.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 39 of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2),

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
   Article 1
   Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Directive.
   Article 2
   1.   Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive at the latest within three months of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions.
   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 3
   This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Where the analysis referred to in Article 5 confirms the presence of prohibited substances or of residues either exceeding the maximum natural physiological levels for the authorized substances or proving that authorized substances have been used abusively, the competent authorities shall be informed immediately of:  (a) all the particulars needed to identify the animal and its farm of origin. These particulars shall be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 10;  (b) the result of the analysis.  2. The competent authorities shall then ensure that:  (a) an investigation is made at the farm of origin to determine the reason for the presence of hormone residues;  (b) an investigation of the source or sources of the substance concerned is made, as necessary, at the manufacturing, handling, storage, transport, distribution or sales stage.  3. The competent authorities shall also ensure that:  (a) the herd or animals at the farm of origin and the herds which, as a result of the investigations referred to in paragraph 2 may be considered to contain the residue in question, are officially marked and subjected to appropriate analysis;  (b) if these analyses reveal the presence of prohibited substances, the animals may not be placed on the market for human or animal consumption;  (c) if the analyses reveal the presence of residues of authorized hormone substances exceeding the limits mentioned in paragraph 1, the slaughter of the animals intended for human consumption shall be prohibited until it is possible to be sure that the residue level does not exceed the permitted limits. That period may in no case be shorter than the waiting period laid down for the  preparation in question. However, where it is established that the conditions of use of the products have not been complied with, the animals concerned must be definitely excluded from human consumption;  (d) the animals are not disposed of to other persons during the analysis period unless this occurs under the supervision of the official veterinarian.  4. By way of derogation from paragraph 3 (c), animals, the slaughter of which is prohibited, may be slaughtered before the end of the prohibition period if the competent authority is informed thereof before the proposed date of slaughter, and has been made aware of the place of slaughter. Animals which have been officially marked must be accompanied at the place of slaughter by an official veterinary certificate containing the information required under paragraph 1 (a).  The carcase of each animal the slaughter of which is communicated pursuant to the first subparagraph shall be officially subjected to analysis of the residue in question and shall be kept until the result of the analysis is known.  Article 7  Where, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 4 of Directive 81/602/EEC, the controls and investigations laid down in Articles 2 to 6 disclose the presence of prohibited substances, the Member States shall ensure that these substances are placed under official control until the necessary sanctions are imposed.  Article 8  Where the results of the controls carried out in one Member State indicate the need for investigation in one or more other Member States on in one or more third countries, the Member State concerned shall inform the other Member States and the Commission thereof.  Member States in which an investigation proves to be necessary shall take the necessary measures.  If the need arises, at the request of the Member State which has requested the investigation or on its own initiative, the Commission may send an expert on the spot.  The detailed rules of application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 10.  Article 9  1. Member States shall forward information to the Commission at least once a year on the control measures they have taken, including details of samplings, analyses and investigations carried out for detection of the presence of residues of substances the use of which is promibited.  2. On the basis of that information, the Commission shall report to the representatives of the Member States meeting in the Standing Veterinary Committee, hereinafter referred to as the 'Committee'. If necessary, measures may be taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 10, to ensure uniform application of the controls provided for in this Directive.  Article 10  1. Where the procedure laid down in this Article is to be used, the matter shall be referred to the Committee immediately by its Chairman, either on his own initiative or at the request of a Member State.  2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Committee a draft of the measures to be adopted. The Committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit which the Chairman may lay down according to the urgency of the matter. The opinion shall be delivered by a majority of forty-five votes, the votes of the Member States being weighted as provided for in Article 148 (2) of the Treaty. The Chairman shall not vote.  3. The Commission shall adopt the measures and implement them immediately where they are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee. Where they are not in accordance with the opinion of the Committee or if no opinion is delivered, the Commission shall immediately submit to the Council a proposal on the measures to be taken. The Council shall act by a qualified majority.  If within three months of the date on which a matter was referred to it the Council has not adopted any measures, the Commission shall adopt the proposed measures and implement them immediately, save where the Council has decided against the measures by a simple majority.

         COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2011/63/EU
   of 1 June 2011
   amending, for the purpose of its adaptation to technical progress, Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Council Directive 93/12/EEC (1), and in particular Article 10(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Directive 98/70/EC sets environmental specifications as well as analytical methods for petrol and diesel fuels placed on the market.

               (2)

               Those analytical methods refer to certain standards established by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Since CEN has replaced those standards by new ones due to technical progress, it is appropriate to update the references to those standards in Annexes I and II to Directive 98/70/EC.

               (3)

               Annex III to Directive 98/70/EC specifies the permitted vapour pressure waiver for petrol containing bioethanol. The figures contained in that Annex are rounded to the second decimal place. Standard EN ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 4259:2006 defines the rules for rounding results according to the precision of the test method and requires rounding to the first decimal place. It is therefore appropriate to amend the figures set out in Annex III to Directive 98/70/EC accordingly.

               (4)

               The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Fuel Quality, established by Article 11(1) of Directive 98/70/EC,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
   Article 1
   Directive 98/70/EC is amended as follows:

               (1)

               Annex I is amended as follows:

                           (a)

                           footnote 1 is replaced by the following:

                                       ‘(1)

                                       Test methods shall be those specified in EN 228:2008. Member States may adopt the analytical method specified in replacement EN 228:2008 standard if it can be shown to give at least the same accuracy and at least the same level of precision as the analytical method it replaces.’;

                           (b)

                           footnote 6 is replaced by the following:

                                       ‘(6)

                                       Other mono-alcohols and ethers with a final boiling point no higher than that stated in EN 228:2008.’;

               (2)

               in Annex II, footnote 1 is replaced by the following:

                           ‘(1)

                           Test methods shall be those specified in EN 590:2009. Member States may adopt the analytical method specified in replacement EN 590:2009 standard if it can be shown to give at least the same accuracy and at least the same level of precision as the analytical method it replaces.’;

               (3)

               Annex III is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Directive.

         Article 2
   1.   Member States shall adopt and publish the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive within 12 months of its publication in the Official Journal.
   They shall apply those provisions within 12 months of the publication of this Directive in the Official Journal.
   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 3
   This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
