         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 257/2012
   of 22 March 2012
   fixing the export refunds on beef and veal
   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), and in particular Article 164(2), and Article 170, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XV of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Union market may be covered by an export refund.

               (2)

               Given the present situation on the market in beef and veal, export refunds should therefore be set in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167, 168 and 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

               (3)

               Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the refund may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.

               (4)

               Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Union and that bear the health mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2). Those products must also satisfy the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3) and Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4).

               (5)

               The third subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1359/2007 of 21 November 2007 laying down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of boned meat of bovine animals (5) provides for a reduction of the special refund if the quantity of cuts of boned meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by boning.

               (6)

               The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1318/2011 (6). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.

               (7)

               In order to prevent divergence with the current market situation, to prevent market speculation and to ensure efficient management, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

               (8)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1

   2.   The products eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 shall meet the relevant requirements of Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004, and, in particular, shall be prepared in an approved establishment and comply with the health marking requirements laid down in Annex I, Section I, Chapter III to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004.
   Article 2
   In the case referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1359/2007, the rate of the refund on products falling within product code 0201 30 00 9100 shall be reduced by EUR 3,5/100 kg.

   of 11 August 2017
   laying down a standardised presentation format for the insurance product information document
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive (EU) 2016/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 January 2016 on insurance distribution (1), and in particular Article 20(9) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Directive (EU) 2016/97 requires manufacturers of non-life insurance products as listed in Annex I to Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) to draw up a standardised insurance product information document so as to provide customers with the necessary information about non-life insurance products as listed in Annex I of Directive 2009/138/EC in order to allow the customer to make an informed decision.

               (2)

               Article 20(8) of Directive (EU) 2016/97 specifies which information the insurance product information document should contain.

               (3)

               In order to provide customers with product information which is easy to read, understand and compare, a common design, structure and format should be used when presenting the information referred to in Article 20(8) of Directive (EU) 2016/97 in the standardised insurance product information document referred to in Article 20(5) of that Directive, including by way of the use of icons or symbols. Equally, information about add-ons and optional covers, if any, should not be preceded by ticks, crosses or exclamation marks and the information to be included in the insurance product information document should normally be set out on two sides of A4 paper, but should not in any event exceed three sides of A4 paper.

               (4)

               This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) to the Commission.

               (5)

               In accordance with Article 20(9) of Directive (EU) 2016/97, EIOPA has conducted consumer testing of the standardised insurance product information document and consulted national authorities. EIOPA has also conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits, and requested the opinion of the Insurance and Reinsurance Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3),

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Name and company logo of the manufacturer
   1.   The name of the manufacturer of the non-life insurance product, the Member State where that manufacturer is registered, its regulatory status, and, where relevant, its authorisation number shall immediately follow the title ‘insurance product information document’ at the top of the first page.

   Article 2
   Reference to complete pre-contractual and contractual information
   The insurance product information document shall state prominently that complete pre-contractual and contractual information about the non-life insurance product is provided to the customer in other documents. That statement shall be placed immediately below the name of the manufacturer of the non-life insurance product.
   Article 3
   Length
   The insurance product information document shall be set out on two sides of A4-sized paper when printed. Exceptionally, if more space is needed, the insurance product information document may be set out on a maximum of three sides of A4-sized paper when printed. Where a manufacturer uses three sides of A4-sized paper, it shall, upon request by the competent authority, be able to demonstrate that more space was needed.
   Article 4
   Presentation and order of content
   1.   The information of the insurance product information document listed in in Article 20(8) of Directive (EU) 2016/97 shall be presented in different sections and in accordance with the structure, lay-out, headings and sequence as set out in the standardised presentation format in the Annex to this Regulation, using a font size with an x-height of at least 1,2 mm.

   4.   Where the dimensions of the durable medium other than paper are such that a layout using two columns is not feasible, a presentation using a single column may be used, provided that the sequence of the sections is as follows:

               (i)

               ‘How do I cancel the contract?’.

         5.   The use of digital tools, including layering and pop-ups shall be permitted, provided that all the information referred to in Article 20(8) of Directive (EU) 2016/97 is provided in the main body of the insurance product information document and that the use of such tools does not distract the customer's attention from the content of the main document.
   Information provided through layering and pop-ups shall not include marketing or advertising material.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 670/2011
   of 12 July 2011
   amending Regulation (EC) No 607/2009 laying down certain detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards protected designations of origin and geographical indications, traditional terms, labelling and presentation of certain wine sector products
   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 on the common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular points (k), (l) and (m) of the first paragraph of Article 121 and Article 203b, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 of 31 August 2009 laying down detailed rules for the Member States’ notification to the Commission of information and documents in implementation of the common organisation of the markets, the direct payments regime, the promotion of agricultural products and the regimes applicable to the outermost regions and the smaller Aegean islands (2) lays down common rules for notifying information and documents by the competent authorities of the Member States to the Commission. Those rules cover in particular the obligation for the Member States to use the information systems made available by the Commission and the validation of the access rights of the authorities or individuals authorised to send notifications. In addition, that Regulation sets common principles applying to the information systems so that they guarantee the authenticity, integrity and legibility over time of the documents and provides for personal data protection.

               (2)

               The Commission has developed, in its own internal working procedures and in its relations with the authorities involved in the management of protected designations of origin, protected geographical indications and traditional terms, in accordance with Section Ia of Chapter I of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, an information system allowing the management by electronic means of the documents and procedures required under Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 607/2009 of 14 July 2009 laying down certain detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards protected designations of origin and geographical indications, traditional terms, labelling and presentation of certain wine sector products (3), both with the competent authorities in Member States and third countries and with the trade organisations and natural or legal persons that have an interest in the framework of this Regulation.

               (3)

               It is considered that this system, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 or by applying mutatis mutandis the principles that it sets out, enables certain communications provided for by Regulation (EC) No 607/2009, in particular as regards procedures applicable to the protection of geographical indications, designations of origin and traditional terms, the maintenance of the database of the designations concerned and the registers foreseen for the protection of these designations.

               (4)

               Furthermore, the information systems that have already been put in place operationally by the Commission for communicating information regarding the authorities and bodies responsible for the controls to be carried out under the common agricultural policy allow the specific objectives in this area to be met as regards geographical indications, designations of origin and traditional terms. These systems should be made applicable for the communication of information concerning the authorities responsible for examining applications for the protection of designations at the level of Member States or third countries, as well as for the communication of information concerning the authorities responsible for certifying wines that do not have a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication.

               (5)

               In the interests of effective administrative management and taking account of the experience acquired through the use of information systems put in place by the Commission, communications should be simplified and the way in which information is managed and made available should be improved under Regulation (EC) No 607/2009 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 792/2009. To this end, with a view to giving the competent authorities of the Member States the means of becoming familiar with the legislative, regulatory and administrative provisions, introduced at national level in accordance with Articles 118z(2) and 120a of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, and to simplifying and facilitating the controls and the cooperation between Member States, provided for by Commission Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 (4), Member States should be asked to communicate to the Commission certain information that is of specific interest for the certification of products, with a view to the Commission’s making this information available to the competent authorities and to the public, where this information is useful for the consumer.

               (6)

               Furthermore, it is appropriate, in the interests of clarity and reducing the administrative burden, to determine the content of certain communications provided for by Regulation (EC) No 607/2009 and to simplify the procedures.

               (7)

               The transitional measures adopted in order to facilitate the transition from the provisions of Council Regulations (EC) No 1493/1999 (5) and (EC) No 479/2008 (6) to those of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 present difficulties of interpretation as regards the scope and duration of the applicable procedures. Moreover the scope of the provisions of Article 118s of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, taken together with those of Article 118q, as regards the nature of the amendments covered, the reference periods and the duration of the transitional period should be made more precise.

               (8)

               Regulation (EC) No 607/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (9)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Regulation (EC) No 607/2009 is hereby amended as follows:

               (1)

               Article 3 is replaced by the following:
