         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/146
         of 3 February 2020
         amending Regulation (EU) No 333/2010, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2312, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1081, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/897, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/893 and Regulation (EU) No 184/2011 concerning the authorisations of the preparation of Bacillus subtilis C-3102 (DSM 15544) as a feed additive
         (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 13(3) 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.

                     (2)

                     The preparation of Bacillus subtilis C-3102 (DSM 15544) was authorised as a feed additive for weaned piglets by Commission Regulation (EU) No 333/2010 (2), for sows, suckling piglets and dogs by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2312 (3), for pigs for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1081 (4), for laying hens and ornamental fish by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/897 (5), for chickens for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/893 (6), and for chickens reared for laying, turkeys, minor avian species and other ornamental and game birds by Commission Regulation (EU) No 184/2011 (7).

                     (3)

                     On 31 August 2018, Asahi Calpis Wellness Co. Ltd., represented in the Union by Asahi Calpis Wellness Co. Ltd Europe Representative Office, submitted an application in accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, proposing to modify the minimum content of the additive for use in chickens for fattening from the authorised concentration of 5 × 108 CFU/kg feed to a concentration of 3 × 108 CFU/kg feed. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data. The Commission forwarded that application to the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’).

                     (4)

                     The Authority concluded in its opinion of 22 January 2019 (8) that the reduced minimum content of the additive with a concentration of 3 × 108 CFU/kg feed has the potential to be efficacious in chickens for fattening. 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 additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                     (5)

                     On 26 March 2019, Asahi Calpis Wellness Co. Ltd., represented in the Union by Asahi Calpis Wellness Co. Ltd Europe Representative Office, submitted an application in accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, proposing to amend the name of its representative. The applicant claimed that Pen & Tec Consulting S.L.U. is to be considered its representative in the Union for the additive. The application was accompanied by the relevant supporting data.

                     (6)

                     That proposed change of the terms of the authorisation is purely administrative in nature and does not entail a fresh assessment of the additive concerned. The Authority was informed of the application.

                     (7)

                     The assessment of the applications shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied.

                     (8)

                     Regulation (EU) No 333/2010, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2312, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1081, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/897, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/893 and Regulation (EU) No 184/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (9)

                     Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the amendments made by this Regulation, it is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which the existing stocks of the preparation of Bacillus subtilis C-3102 (DSM 15544), which are in conformity with the provisions applying before the date of entry into force of this Regulation, may continue to be placed on the market and used until they are exhausted.

                     (10)

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/173
         of 6 February 2020
         concerning the authorisation of brilliant blue FCF as a feed additive for cats and dogs
         (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(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2)

                     (2)

                     Brilliant blue FCF was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for dogs and cats belonging to the group ‘colourants, including pigments’, under the heading ‘colouring agents authorised for colouring foodstuffs by Community rules’. The additive was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) 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 brilliant blue FCF as a feed additive for dogs and cats. The applicant requested the additive to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additive’ and in the functional group ‘colourants’. The 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 19 June 2013 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, brilliant blue FCF does not have an adverse effect on animal health. It also concluded that the substance should be regarded as an inhalation hazard for the user of the additive and that in absence of data on skin and eye irritancy it could be considered as being potentially irritating to skin and/or eyes. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additive. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 (4), phase I of the environmental risk assessment has determined that Brilliant Blue FCF, as an additive intended for non-food producing animals, is exempted from further assessment due to the unlikelihood of a significant environmental effect, there being no scientifically-based evidence for concern having been identified by the Authority in its above-mentioned opinion. The Authority further concluded that the additive concerned is effective in adding colour to feedingstuffs. 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 additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                     (5)

                     The assessment of brilliant blue FCF shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that additive should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

                     (6)

                     Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation of the substance concerned, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.

                     (7)

                     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:

            Article 1
            Authorisation
            The substance specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and to the functional group ‘colourants’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

            Article 2
            Transitional measures

               1.   The substance specified in the Annex and premixtures containing that substance, which are produced and labelled before 27 August 2020 in accordance with the rules applicable before 27 February 2020 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.

               2.   Feed materials and compound feed containing the substance specified in the Annex which are produced and labelled before 27 February 2022 in accordance with the rules applicable before 27 February 2020 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.

            Article 3
            Entry into force
            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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/1992
         of 14 December 2018
         amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 as regards the reporting of data referred to in Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 in respect of hydrofluorocarbons placed on the market in the United Kingdom and in the Union of 27 Member States
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases and repealing Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 (1), and in particular Article 19(7) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 (2), determines the format and the means for submitting a report referred to in Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014.

                     (2)

                     Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 provides that the placing on the Union market of hydrofluorocarbons by producers or importers is subject to an annual quota in order to achieve their gradual reduction. Those quotas for the producers and importers are calculated based on reference values determined by the Commission on the basis of the annual average of the quantities of hydrofluorocarbons, which producers or importers have reported under Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 from 1 January 2015 onwards in accordance with Annex V to that Regulation.

                     (3)

                     Since the United Kingdom notified on 29 March 2017 its intention to leave the Union, pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, the Treaties will cease to apply to the United Kingdom from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification, unless the European Council, in agreement with the United Kingdom, decides to extend that period. As a consequence, and without prejudice to any provisions of the withdrawal agreement, Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 only applies until the United Kingdom ceases to be a Member State.

                     (4)

                     In light of the notification under Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union by the United Kingdom, it is important to ensure that accurate data is available regarding the placing on the market of hydrofluorocarbons in the Union after the withdrawal of the United Kingdom for the purpose of re-calculating the reference values pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 which is due to be carried out in 2020.

                     (5)

                     The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 should therefore be amended to allow for the separation of the amounts of hydrofluorocarbons, which are placed on the market in the United Kingdom and in the Union of 27 Member States.

                     (6)

                     However, the separation of reporting data in respect of hydrofluorocarbons placed on the market as regards the United Kingdom and the Union of 27 Member States is only needed at the point when Union law no longer applies to and in the United Kingdom. Therefore the amendment to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 is only required for reporting data for the calendar year 2018 and until and including the year in which the United Kingdom leaves the Union and Union law ceases to apply to and in the United Kingdom.

                     (7)

                     In order for the separation of the reporting obligation to apply in respect of the reporting of data for the calendar year 2018 where the data has to be submitted by 31 March 2019, the variation of the obligation should enter into force and apply in advance of that date. For all subsequent years, the date for submission of reporting data should be the 31 March.

                     (8)

                     The amounts of hydrofluorocarbons that need to be reported in line with the Annex to this implementing act as placed on the United Kingdom market should refer to the amounts placed on the United Kingdom market for the first time.

                     (9)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the opinion of the Committee established by Article 24(1) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 is amended in accordance with 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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/1991
         of 13 December 2018
         authorising the placing on the market of berries of Lonicera caerulea L. as a traditional food from a third country under Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470
         (Text with EEA relevance)
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on novel foods, amending Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Regulation (EC) No 258/97 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1852/2001 (1), and in particular Article 15(4) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 provides that only novel foods authorised and included in the Union list may be placed on the market within the Union. Traditional food from a third country is a novel food defined in Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.

                     (2)

                     Pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 (2) establishing a Union list of authorised novel foods was adopted.

                     (3)

                     Pursuant to Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, the Commission is to decide on the authorisation and on the placing on the Union market of a traditional food from a third country.

                     (4)

                     On 26 January 2018, the company Soloberry Ltd (‘the applicant’) submitted a notification to the Commission of the intention to place berries of Lonicera caerulea L. (‘Haskap’) on the Union market as a traditional food from a third country within the meaning of Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The applicant requests for berries of Lonicera caerulea L. to be consumed as such (fresh or frozen) by the general population.

                     (5)

                     The documented data, presented by the applicant, demonstrate that berries of Lonicera caerulea L. have a history of safe food use in Japan.

                     (6)

                     Pursuant to Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, on 28 February 2018, the Commission forwarded the valid notification to the Member States and to the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’).

                     (7)

                     No duly reasoned safety objections to the placing on the market within the Union of berries of Lonicera caerulea L. were submitted to the Commission by Member States or the Authority within the four months period laid down in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.

                     (8)

                     The Commission should therefore authorise the placing on the market within the Union of berries of Lonicera caerulea L. and update the Union list of novel foods.

                     (9)

                     Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 should therefore be amended accordingly,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1

               1.   Berries of Lonicera caerulea L. as specified in the Annex to this Regulation shall be included in the Union list of authorised novel foods established in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470.

               2.   The entry in the Union list referred to in paragraph 1 shall include the conditions of use and labelling requirements laid down in the Annex to this Regulation.

            Article 2
            The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

            Article 3
            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.
