            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/55
      of 14 December 2016
      concerning the authorisation of octan-2-ol, isopropanol, pentan-2-ol, octan-3-ol, heptan-2-one, pentan-2-one, 6-methyl-hepta-3,5-dien-2-one, nonan-3-one, decan-2-one and isopropyl tetradecanoate as feed additives for all animal species
      (Text with EEA relevance)
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

                  (2)

                  Octan-2-ol, isopropanol, pentan-2-ol, octan-3-ol, heptan-2-one, pentan-2-one, 6-methyl-hepta-3,5-dien-2-one, nonan-3-one, decan-2-one and isopropyl tetradecanoate were authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as feed additives for all animal species. Those products were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                  (3)

                  In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of octan-2-ol, isopropanol, pentan-2-ol, octan-3-ol, heptan-2-one, pentan-2-one, 6-methyl-hepta-3,5-dien-2-one, nonan-3-one, decan-2-one, isopropyl tetradecanoate as feed additives for all animal species. The applicant requested those additives to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                  (4)

                  The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 20 October 2015 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use in feed octan-2-ol, isopropanol, pentan-2-ol, octan-3-ol, heptan-2-one, pentan-2-one, 6-methyl-hepta-3,5-dien-2-one, nonan-3-one, decan-2-one, isopropyl tetradecanoate do not have adverse effects on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority further concluded that the function of octan-2-ol, isopropanol, pentan-2-ol, octan-3-ol, heptan-2-one, pentan-2-one, 6-methyl-hepta-3,5-dien-2-one, nonan-3-one, decan-2-one, isopropyl tetradecanoate in feed is similar to that on food. The Authority has already concluded that for food those substances are efficacious, as it increases the food smell or palatability. The Authority could not conclude on the safety of octan-2-ol, isopropanol, pentan-2-ol, octan-3-ol, heptan-2-one, pentan-2-one, 6-methyl- hepta-3,5-dien-2-one, nonan-3-one, decan-2-one, isopropyl tetradecanoate used in water for drinking. However, those substances can be used within a compound feed subsequently administered via water.

                  (5)

                  Restrictions and conditions should be provided for to allow better control. For practical reasons and taking into account the re-evaluation performed by the Authority, maximum recommended contents should be set up. Where the recommended content of the additive in complete feedingstuff is exceeded, the identification number of the feed additive, its name and added amount should be indicated on the label of premixtures, compound feeds and feed materials

                  (6)

                  The Authority concluded that in the absence of data on user safety, octan-2-ol, isopropanol, pentan-2-ol, octan-3-ol, heptan-2-one, pentan-2-one, 6-methyl- hepta-3,5-dien- 2-one, nonan-3-one, decan-2-one, isopropyl tetradecanoate should be considered as irritant to skin, eyes and respiratory tract and as a skin sensitiser. Consequently, appropriate protective measures should be taken. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                  (7)

                  The assessment of octan-2-ol, isopropanol, pentan-2-ol, octan-3-ol, heptan-2-one, pentan-2-one, 6-methyl-hepta- 3,5-dien-2-one, nonan-3-one, decan-2-one, isopropyl tetradecanoate shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of those substances should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

                  (8)

                  Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation for octan-2-ol, isopropanol, pentan-2-ol, octan-3-ol, heptan-2-one, pentan-2-one, 6-methyl-hepta-3,5-dien-2-one, nonan-3-one, decan-2-one, isopropyl tetradecanoate it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.

                  (9)

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

            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 873/2011
   of 27 July 2011
   concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (2)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.

               (3)

               Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.

               (4)

               It is appropriate to provide that, subject to the measures in force in the European Union relating to double checking systems and to prior and retrospective surveillance of textile products on importation into the European Union, binding tariff information issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature and which is not in accordance with this Regulation, may continue to be relied on for a period of 60 days by the holder, under Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (2).

               (5)

               The Customs Code Committee has not issued an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
   Article 2
   Subject to the measures in force in the European Union relating to double checking systems and to prior and retrospective surveillance of textile products on importation into the European Union, binding tariff information issued by the customs authorities of Member States which is not in accordance with this Regulation, may continue to be relied on for a period of 60 days, under Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A composite good made up of a sponge of cellular plastic (polyurethane) (11,5 cm × 8,2 cm × 1,1 cm), and a cloth of knitted polyester fabric which encloses the sponge.
                  The fabric is made of textured yarn of polyesters and aluminium-covered polyester fibres (produced through a vapour metalising process) knitted together. The sponge is fully inserted into the fabric.
                  (cleaning cloth)
                  (See photographs No 656 A and No 656 B) (1)

                  6307 10 10

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 7(e) to Section XI, note 1 to Chapter 63 and the wording of CN codes 6307, 6307 10 and 6307 10 10.
                  The article is a composite good within the meaning of GIR 3(b) because the sponge is attached to the cloth to form a practically inseparable whole. (See also the Harmonised System Explanatory Note (HS EN) to GIR 3(b), (IX)).
                  The cloth which is a textile article is a made-up article within the meaning of note 7(e) to Section XI, because the knitted fabric is assembled by gumming. In addition, the fact that a sponge is inserted into the made-up textile article makes the whole good a made-up article. Thus, the article is covered by sub-chapter I of Chapter 63 by virtue of note 1 to Chapter 63.
                  Both the knitted cloth and the sponge have the objective characteristics of articles that are designed for cleaning with water and detergents. However, the rough surface of the knitted cloth gives the article its essential character within the meaning of GIR 3(b), because due to its rough surface the article is meant to clean dried-in spots from smooth surfaces. The sponge only serves to enhance the ability of the cloth to absorb water and detergent. The essential character of the composite good is thus determined by the textile material.
                  The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 6307 10 10 as a knitted cleaning cloth.

   of 22 March 2017
   fixing an acceptance percentage for the issuing of export licences, rejecting export-licence applications and suspending the lodging of export-licence applications for out-of-quota sugar
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2), and in particular Article 7e in conjunction with Article 9(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               According to point (d) of the first subparagraph of Article 139(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 the sugar produced during a marketing year in excess of the quota referred to in Article 136 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit fixed by the Commission.

               (2)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1713 (3) sets such quantitative limits.

               (3)

               The quantities of sugar covered by applications for export licences exceed the quantitative limit fixed by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1713. An acceptance percentage should therefore be set for quantities applied for from 13 to 17 March 2017. All export-licence applications for sugar lodged after 17 March 2017 should accordingly be rejected and the lodging of export-licence applications should be suspended,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   Export licences for out-of-quota sugar for which applications were lodged from 13 to 17 March 2017 shall be issued for the quantities applied for, multiplied by an acceptance percentage of 66,806961 %.
   2.   Applications for export licences for out-of-quota sugar submitted on 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 March 2017 are hereby rejected.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 955/2013
   of 4 October 2013
   to approve propiconazole as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 9
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 of 4 December 2007 on the second phase of the 10-year work programme referred to in Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That list includes propiconazole.

               (2)

               Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, propiconazole has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 9, fibre, leather, rubber and polymerised materials preservatives, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 9 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (3)

               Finland was designated as Rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 11 February 2011 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.

               (4)

               The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 12 July 2013, in an assessment report.

               (5)

               It appears from the assessment report that biocidal products used for product-type 9 and containing propiconazole may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC.

               (6)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve propiconazole for use in biocidal products for product-type 9.

               (7)

               Since the evaluation did not address nanomaterials, the approval should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (8)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit Member States, interested parties, and the Commission where appropriate, to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed.

               (9)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Propiconazole shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 9, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
