            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/951
      of 15 June 2016
      approving the low-risk active substance Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
      (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 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 22(1) in conjunction with Article 13(2) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  In accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, France received on 6 November 2012 an application from BI-PA NV for the approval of the active substance Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1. In accordance with Article 9(3) of that Regulation, France, as rapporteur Member State, notified the Commission on 5 February 2013 of the admissibility of the application.

                  (2)

                  On 27 May 2014, the rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report to the Commission with a copy to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’), assessing whether that active substance can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

                  (3)

                  The Authority complied with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. In accordance with Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, it requested that the applicant supply additional information to the Member States, the Commission and the Authority. The assessment of the additional information by the rapporteur Member State was submitted to the Authority in the format of an updated draft assessment report in February 2015.

                  (4)

                  On 21 April 2015 the Authority communicated to the applicant, the Member States and the Commission its conclusion on whether the active substance Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1 can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 (2). The Authority made its conclusion available to the public.

                  (5)

                  On 10 December 2015 the Commission presented to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed the review report for Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1 and a draft Regulation providing that Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1 is approved.

                  (6)

                  The applicant was given the possibility to submit comments on the review report.

                  (7)

                  It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing the active substance, and in particular the uses which were examined and detailed in the review report, that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. Those approval criteria are therefore deemed to be satisfied. It is therefore appropriate to approve Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1.

                  (8)

                  The Commission further considers that Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1 is a low-risk active substance pursuant to Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1 is not a substance of concern and fulfils the conditions set in point 5 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1 is a wild-type strain isolated from decaying hazelnut wood in Italy. It is not pathogenic or virulent to humans or animals. The additional exposure of humans, animals and the environment by the uses approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 is expected to be negligible compared to exposure expected through realistic natural situations.

                  (9)

                  It is therefore appropriate to approve Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1 as a low-risk substance for a period of 15 years. In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (3) should be amended accordingly.

                  (10)

                  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
      Approval of a low-risk active substance
      The active substance Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
      Article 2
      Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
      The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
      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.

title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2324 of 11 December 2015 amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 as regards the definition of gear groupings in certain geographical areas

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/2324
   of 11 December 2015
   amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 as regards the definition of gear groupings in certain geographical areas
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 of 18 December 2008 establishing a long-term plan for cod stocks and the fisheries exploiting those stocks and repealing Regulation (EC) No 423/2004 (1), and in particular Article 31 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               One of the main objectives of the common fisheries policy is to eliminate the wasteful practice of discarding. The landing obligation will gradually enter into force for certain demersal fisheries, currently covered by the fishing effort regime under the Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008, as of 2016 and by 2019 at the latest.

               (2)

               Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 provides that fishing effort limits are assigned to effort groups defined by gear groupings and geographical areas as set out in Annex I to that Regulation.

               (3)

               In light of the implementation of the landing obligation, there is a need for more flexibility in the current fishing effort regime, in order to enable fishermen to use more selective gears with bigger mesh size. In this context, it seemed necessary to review whether the current structure of effort groupings is still cost-efficient in terms of management burden relative to conservation needs.

               (4)

               As a consequence, the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) was requested to advise on the possibility to merge the TR1 and TR2 gear groupings used to define effort groups. STECF concludes (2) that there is a risk of increased fishing mortality for cod when merging the gear groupings TR1 and TR2 and that such a merger, if only applied in the North Sea, Skagerrak and Eastern Channel, would lead to inconsistencies with other management areas. It also concludes that the newly merged grouping would be more heterogeneous in terms of biological stocks captured than the separate groupings of TR1 and TR2 and that it is unlikely that cost-efficiency would increase due to additional measures that would have to be taken in order to counter a possible increase in fishing mortality of cod. However, STECF also concludes that such a merger would allow fishermen to fish more selectively.

               (5)

               Furthermore, in an evaluation of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 conducted in 2011 (3), STECF observed that the fishing mortality of North Sea cod was only three per cent lower in 2010 compared to 2008. STECF concluded that for the North Sea cod stock effort management has failed to constrain removals.

               (6)

               Effort allocated to TR1 and TR2 gear groupings has been reduced significantly since the introduction of the current fishing effort regime in 2008. The magnitude of any potential negative impact of the merger on the fishing mortality of cod is therefore much lower than what it would have been in the past.

               (7)

               A merger would significantly reduce management costs. A reduction of gear groupings would lead to reduced administrative costs for national authorities and fishermen, as in particular many fishermen use several gears, thus belong to several effort groupings, resulting in a need for complex calculations when allocating fishing effort to them. Furthermore, the implementation of the newly introduced obligation to land all catches will bind a considerable amount of human resources in Member State administrations. Furthermore, the Commission considers that in case of an increase of the fishing mortality of cod, additional protective measures will not necessarily cause substantial administrative costs.

               (8)

               According to ICES advice (4) the conservation status of the North Sea cod stock in ICES Subarea IV, ICES Divisions VIId and the Western part of ICES Division IIIa (Skagerrak) has improved significantly.

               (9)

               In the light of the above considerations it can be concluded that faster introduction of the landing obligation for cod would provide more added value for reducing the fishing mortality of cod caused by unwanted catches then keeping the currently binding effort management system.

               (10)

               It is therefore not appropriate to maintain separate TR1 and TR2 gear groupings in the following areas: Skagerrak, that part of ICES zone IIIa not covered by the Skagerrak and the Kattegat, ICES zone IV and EC waters of ICES zone IIa, and ICES zone VIId. Given the bad state of the cod stocks in the areas Kattegat, ICES zone VIIa, ICES zone VIa and EC waters of ICES zone Vb, the merger of gear groupings should not apply to those areas.

               (11)

               The Commission will closely monitor the effect on fishing mortality of cod created by the merger of gear groupings TR1 and TR2 in order to adapt the structure of gear groupings accordingly if fishing mortality of cod increases due to discarding.

               (12)

               To allow Commission and Member States to monitor the evolution of the situation without additional administrative costs it is appropriate not to modify the current reporting system.

               (13)

               Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (14)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008, the following point 3 is added:

                  ‘3.

                  By way of derogation from point 1, for the fishing effort management in the area referred to in point 2(b), gear groupings TR2 and TR1 shall be considered as a single gear grouping with a mesh size equal to or larger than 70 mm. Member States shall continue to report effort usage separately for TR1 and TR2 gear groupings as required by Articles 33 and 34 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 (5).

   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.
   It shall apply from 1 January 2016.

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

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/952
      of 15 June 2016
      approving the low-risk active substance Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LAS02 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
      (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 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 22(1) in conjunction with Article 13(2) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  In accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, France received on 9 April 2013 an application from Agrolevures et Dérivés for the approval of the active substance Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LAS02. In accordance with Article 9(3) of that Regulation, France, as rapporteur Member State, notified the applicant, the other Member States, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) of the admissibility of the application on 15 October 2013.

                  (2)

                  On 4 December 2014, the rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report to the Commission with a copy to the Authority, assessing whether that active substance can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

                  (3)

                  The Authority complied with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. In accordance with Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, it requested that the applicant supply additional information to the Member States, the Commission and the Authority. The assessment of the additional information by the rapporteur Member State was submitted to the Authority in the format of an updated draft assessment report on 14 September 2015.

                  (4)

                  On 3 December 2015, the Authority communicated to the applicant, the Member States and the Commission its conclusion on whether the active substance Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LAS02 can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 (2). The Authority made its conclusion available to the public.

                  (5)

                  On 7 March 2016, the Commission presented to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed the review report for Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LAS02 and a draft Regulation providing that Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LAS02 is approved as a low-risk active substance.

                  (6)

                  The applicant was given the possibility to submit comments on the review report.

                  (7)

                  It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing the active substance, and in particular the uses which were examined and detailed in the review report, that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. Those approval criteria are therefore deemed to be satisfied. It is therefore appropriate to approve Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LAS02.

                  (8)

                  The Commission further considers that Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LAS02 is a low-risk active substance pursuant to Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LAS02 is not a substance of concern and fulfils the conditions set in point 5 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LAS02 is a naturally occurring yeast, which is widely used in food. It is also widely present in the environment. The additional exposure of humans, animals and the environment by the uses approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 is expected to be negligible compared to exposure expected through realistic natural situations.

                  (9)

                  It is therefore appropriate to approve Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LAS02 as a low-risk substance for a period of 15 years. In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (3) should be amended accordingly.

                  (10)

                  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
      Approval of a low-risk active substance
      The active substance Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LAS02, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
      Article 2
      Amendment to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
      The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
      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.
         Done at Brussels, 15 June 2016.

   of 9 October 2015
   amending Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as regards the substance ‘Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether’
   (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 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
   Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 requires that the maximum residue limit (hereinafter ‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is to be established in a regulation.

               (2)

               Table 1 of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2) sets out the pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin.

               (3)

               Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether is currently included in that table as an allowed substance, for all ruminants and porcine species. According to the existing entry for diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, no MRL is required for these animal species.

               (4)

               An application for the extension of the existing entry for diethylene glycol monoethyl ether to poultry has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency (hereinafter ‘EMA’).

               (5)

               The EMA, based on the opinion of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use, has recommended the extension of the existing entry for diethylene glycol monoethyl ether to poultry.

               (6)

               According to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009, the EMA is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.

               (7)

               The EMA has considered that the extrapolation of the existing entry for diethylene glycol monoethyl ether to all food producing species is appropriate.

               (8)

               Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (9)

               It is appropriate to grant the stakeholders concerned a reasonable period of time to take measures that may be required to comply with the new MRL.

               (10)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as 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.
   It shall apply from 9 December 2015.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1130/2012
   of 26 November 2012
   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 binding tariff information which has been issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature but which is not in accordance with this Regulation can, for a period of three months, continue to be invoked 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
   Binding tariff information issued by the customs authorities of Member States, which is not in accordance with this Regulation, can continue to be invoked for a period of three months under Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.
   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.

                  (3)

                  A cycle with three wheels, a frame, a seat, two footrests and two handlebars.
                  The handlebars are used for steering and as hand operated pedals being directly connected to crank gears and derailleur gears.
                  The seat comprises a flat platform with a raised section to support the cyclist's back and head.

                      (1) See image.

                  8712 00 70

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8712 00 and 8712 00 70.
                  Classification under heading 8713 is excluded, as this heading covers only carriages, wheelchairs, or similar vehicles specially designed for the transport of disabled persons. Cycles specially constructed for the disabled are covered by heading 8712 (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 8712, second paragraph, point (4)).
                  The cycle is therefore to be classified under CN code 8712 00 70 as other cycles.

         (1)  The image is purely for information.
