         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1948
   of 7 November 2016
   adapting the adjustment rate for direct payments provided for in Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council in respect of the calendar year 2016 and repealing Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1153
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 352/78, (EC) No 165/94, (EC) No 2799/98, (EC) No 814/2000, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 485/2008 (1), and in particular Article 26(4) thereof,
   After consulting the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               On 22 March 2016 the Commission adopted a proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council fixing the adjustment rate provided for in Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 for direct payments in respect of the calendar year 2016 (2). The European Parliament and the Council had not determined that adjustment rate by 30 June 2016. Therefore, in accordance with Article 26(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, the Commission has set the adjustment rate in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1153 (3).

               (2)

               The forecasts for the direct payments and market related expenditure included in Commission Amending Letter No 1 to the 2017 Draft Budget show the need to adapt the rate of financial discipline which was taken into account in the Draft Budget 2017. That Amending Letter was established taking into account an amount of financial discipline of EUR 450,5 million for the reserve for crises in the agricultural sector referred to in Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013. In order to take account of this new information, the Commission should adapt the adjustment rate set in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1153.

               (3)

               As a general rule, farmers submitting an aid application for direct payments for one calendar year (N) are paid within a fixed payment period falling within the financial year (N + 1). However, Member States may make late payments to farmers beyond that payment period, within certain limits. Such late payments may be made in a subsequent financial year. When financial discipline is applied for a given calendar year, the adjustment rate should not be applied to payments for which aid applications have been submitted in calendar years other than the calendar year for which the financial discipline applies. Therefore, in order to ensure equal treatment of farmers, it is appropriate to provide that the adjustment rate is to be applied only to payments for which aid applications have been submitted in the calendar year for which the financial discipline is applied, irrespectively of when the payment to farmers is made.

               (4)

               Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) provides that the adjustment rate applied to direct payments determined in accordance with Article 26 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 is to apply only to direct payments in excess of EUR 2 000 to be granted to farmers in the corresponding calendar year. Furthermore, Article 8(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 provides that, as a result of the gradual introduction of direct payments, the adjustment rate is to apply to Croatia only from 1 January 2022. The adjustment rate to be determined by this Regulation should therefore not apply to payments to farmers in that Member State.

               (5)

               In order to ensure that the adapted adjustment rate is applicable as from the date on which the payments to farmers are to start in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, this Regulation should apply from 1 December 2016.

               (6)

               The adapted adjustment rate should be taken into account for the calculation of all payments to be granted to a farmer for an aid application submitted in respect of the calendar year 2016. For the sake of clarity, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1153 should therefore be repealed,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   For the purpose of fixing the adjustment rate provided for in Articles 25 and 26 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, and in accordance with Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the amounts of direct payments under the support schemes listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 to be granted to farmers in excess of EUR 2 000 for an aid application submitted in respect of the calendar year 2016 shall be reduced by an adjustment rate of 1,353905 %.
   2.   The reduction provided for in paragraph 1 shall not apply in Croatia.
   Article 2
   Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1153 is repealed.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 December 2016.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
      Done at Brussels, 7 November 2016.

   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), and in particular Article 188(1) and (3) thereof,

The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested, calculated in accordance with Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (3). Submission of further applications for import licences under those order numbers should be suspended until the end of the quota period.

Submission of further applications for import licences under those order numbers should be suspended until the end of this quota period.

               (4)

               In order to ensure the efficient management of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   The quantities covered by import licence applications lodged under Regulation (EC) No 891/2009 from 8 to 14 September 2016 shall be multiplied by the allocation coefficient set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   2.   Submission of further applications for import licences under the order numbers indicated in the Annex shall be suspended until the end of the 2016/2017 quota period.

               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 binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at three months.

                  A red, viscous product containing strawberries (whole fruits and pieces thereof), consisting of (% by weight):

                  2103 90 90

                  Classification is determined by the general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 2103, 2103 90 and 2103 90 90.
                  The product is excluded from classification in Chapter 20 because it is a preparation based on fruit which is used as a sauce (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 2103, letter (A), third paragraph).
                  The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 2103 90 90 as a sauce.

                  and small quantities of pectin and citric acid.
                  During the production process the ingredients are mixed and boiled under reduced pressure to reduce the water content.
                  The product is presented in a 2 kg plastic bag and is used as a sauce e.g. for desserts.

               (2)

               Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 provides that in cases where quantities covered by licence applications exceed the quantities available for the quota period, allocation coefficients should be fixed for the quantities covered by each licence application. The applications for import licences submitted pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 620/2009 between 1 and 7 April 2012 exceed the quantities available. Therefore, the extent to which import licences may be issued and the allocation coefficient should be determined,

      Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Articles 57(4) and 58(2) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                     (2)

                     (3)

                     Three items packaged together for retail sale:

                                 a)

                                 a notepad consisting of approximately 75 blank sheets of paper (the rear sheet contains contact details where replacement notepads can be obtained) measuring approximately 8 × 14 cm. The sheets are bound by glue at the top, and are perforated to allow individual sheets to be removed. The back and a small part of the front are covered in cardboard;

                                 b)

                                 a notepad holder measuring approximately 32 × 10 cm, made of plastic sheeting reinforced with cardboard on the inside. The cardboard part of the notepad is inserted into an incision in the holder. The holder, which can be folded to cover the notepad, also includes a pocket of transparent plastics in the upper part and a loop of elasticated textile materials to hold a ballpoint pen;

                                 c)

                                 a thin ballpoint pen of plastic that is approximately 10 cm long is inserted into the textile loop.

                           (see image) (*1).

                     4820 10 30

                     Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature (GIR) and by the wording of CN codes 4820 , 4820 10  and 4820 10 30 .
                     The items constitute goods put up in a set for retail sale within the meaning of GIR 3(b). The notepad plays the essential role in relation to the use of the set, which is to provide writing paper for small notations or messages. The holder merely provides a sort of envelope to protect the notepad from soiling and crushing. Considering its objective characteristics (size, design and value), the plastic ballpoint pen does not constitute an essential component of the set. Any other pen or pencil might be used to write in the notepad. Therefore, the notepad gives the set its essential character.
                     The notepad is classified under heading 4820 , which covers notebooks and notepads of all kinds (see the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 4820 , first paragraph, (1)).
                     Consequently, the set is to be classified under CN code 4820 10 30  as ‘notebooks, letter pads and memorandum pads’.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 400/2014
   of 22 April 2014
   concerning a coordinated multiannual control programme of the Union for 2015, 2016 and 2017 to ensure compliance with maximum residue levels of pesticides and to assess the consumer exposure to pesticide residues in and on food of plant and animal origin
   (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 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), in particular Article 29(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1213/2008 (2) a first coordinated multiannual Community programme, covering the years 2009, 2010 and 2011, was established. That programme continued under consecutive Commission Regulations. The latest one was Commission Regulation (EU) No 788/2012 (3).

               (2)

               Thirty to forty foodstuffs constitute the major components of the diet in the Union. Since pesticide uses show significant changes over a period of three years, pesticides should be monitored in those foodstuffs over a series of three-year cycles to allow consumer exposure and the application of Union legislation to be assessed.

               (3)

               On the basis of a binomial probability distribution, it can be calculated that examination of 654 samples allows, with a certainty of more than 99 %, the detection of a sample containing pesticide residues above the limit of determination (LOD), provided that not less than 1 % of the products contain residues above that limit (4). Collection of these samples should be apportioned among Member States according to population numbers, with a minimum of 12 samples per product and per year.

               (4)

               Analytical results from the previous official control programmes of the Union have been taken into account to ensure that the range of pesticides covered by the control programme is representative for the pesticides used.

               (5)

               Guidance concerning ‘Analytical quality control and validation procedures for pesticide residues analysis in food and feed’ is published on the Commission website (5).

               (6)

               Where the residue definition of a pesticide includes other active substances, metabolites, breakdown or reaction products, those compounds should be reported separately as far as they are measured individually.

               (7)

               Implementing measures, such as the Standard Sample Description (SSD) (6)
                   (7) for submitting results of pesticide residues analysis, relating to the submission of information by Member States have been agreed by Member States, Commission and the European Food Safety Authority.

               (8)

               For the sampling procedures Commission Directive 2002/63/EC (8) which incorporates the sampling methods and procedures recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission should apply.

               (9)

               It is necessary to assess whether maximum residue levels for baby food provided for in Article 10 of Commission Directive 2006/141/EC on infant formulae and follow-on formulae (9) and Article 7 of Commission Directive 2006/125/EC on processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for infants and young children (10) are respected, taking into account only the residue definitions as they are set out in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

               (10)

               As regards single residue methods, Member States may be able to meet their obligations of analysis by having recourse to official laboratories already having the validated methods required.

               (11)

               Member States should submit by 31 August of each year the information concerning the previous calendar year.

               (12)

               In order to avoid any confusion due to an overlap between consecutive multiannual programmes, Regulation (EU) No 788/2012, should be repealed in the interest of legal certainty. It should, however, continue to apply to samples taken in 2013 and 2014.

               (13)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Member States shall, during the years 2015, 2016 and 2017 take and analyse samples for the pesticide/product combinations, as set out in Annex I.
   The number of samples of each product, including foods for infants and small children and products originating from organic farming shall be as set out in Annex II.
   Article 2
   1.   The lot to be sampled shall be chosen randomly.
   The sampling procedure, including the number of units, shall comply with Directive 2002/63/EC.
   2.   All samples, including those of foods intended for infants and small children, shall be analysed for the pesticides set out in Annex I in accordance with the residue definitions set out in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
   3.   For foods intended for infants and young children, samples shall be evaluated on the products as proposed ready for consumption or as reconstituted according to the instructions of the manufacturers, taking into account the MRLs set out in Directives 2006/125/EC and 2006/141/EC. Where such foods can be consumed both as sold and as reconstituted, the results shall be reported on the non-reconstituted product as sold.
   Article 3
   Member States shall submit the results of the analysis of samples tested in 2015, 2016 and 2017 by 31 August 2016, 2017 and 2018 respectively. Those results shall be submitted in accordance with the Standard Sample Description (SSD).
   Where the residue definition of a pesticide includes more than one compound (active substance, metabolite and/or breakdown or reaction product), Member States shall report the analysis results in accordance with the full residue definition. In addition, the results of all analytes that are part of the residue definition shall be submitted separately, as far as they are measured individually.
   Article 4
   Regulation (EU) No 788/2012 is repealed.
   However, it shall continue to apply to samples tested in 2013 and 2014.
   Article 5
   This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2015.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
      Done at Brussels, 22 April 2014.

      ANNEX II

         Number of samples referred to in Article 1

                  (1)

                  The number of samples to be taken for each commodity and analysed for the pesticides listed in Annex I by each Member State is set out in the table in point (5).

                  (2)

                  In addition to the samples required in accordance with the table in point (5), in 2015 each Member State shall take and analyse ten samples of processed cereal-based baby food.
                  In addition to the samples required in accordance with that table, in 2016 each Member State shall take and analyse ten samples of food for infants and young children.
                  In addition to the samples required in accordance with that table, in 2017 each Member State shall take and analyse ten samples of infant formulae and follow-on formulae.

                  (3)

                  In accordance to with the table in point (5), samples from commodities originating from organic farming shall, where available, be taken in proportion to the market share of those commodities in each Member State, with a minimum of 1.

                  (4)

                  Member States using multi-residue methods may use qualitative screening methods on up to 15 % of the samples to be taken and analysed in accordance with the table in point (5). Where a Member State uses qualitative screening methods, it shall analyse the remaining number of samples by multi-residue methods.
                  Where the results of qualitative screening are positive, Member States shall use a usual target method to quantify the findings.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 696/2011
   of 19 July 2011
   on the issue of import licences for applications submitted in the first seven days of July 2011 under the tariff quota for high-quality beef administered by Regulation (EC) No 620/2009
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 620/2009 of 13 July 2009 providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for high-quality beef (3) sets out detailed rules for the submission and issue of import licences.

               (2)

               Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 provides that in cases where quantities covered by licence applications exceed the quantities available for the quota period, allocation coefficients should be fixed for the quantities covered by each licence application. The applications for import licences submitted pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 620/2009 between 1 and 7 July 2011 exceed the quantities available. Therefore, the extent to which import licences may be issued and the allocation coefficient should be determined,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Import licence applications covered by the quota with order number 09.4449 and submitted between 1 and 7 July 2011 in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 620/2009, shall be multiplied by an allocation coefficient of 0,55512 %.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.
      Done at Brussels, 19 July 2011.
