         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1529
   of 7 September 2017
   approving the basic substance sodium chloride 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 23(5) in conjunction with Article 13(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Commission received on 7 June 2016 an application from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (UK) and the Institut Technique de l'Agriculture Biologique (ITAB) for the approval of salt as a basic substance for use as a fungicide in mushrooms. In addition, the Commission received on 21 July 2016 an application from ITAB for the approval of sea salt as basic substance for use as a fungicide and insecticide in grapes. Since both applications concern the substance sodium chloride of food-grade quality, the applications were merged. The applications were accompanied by the information required by the second subparagraph of Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

               (2)

               The Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) for scientific assistance. The Authority presented to the Commission a Technical Report on sodium chloride on 20 January 2017 (2). The Commission presented the review report (3) and a draft of this Regulation to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 23 March 2017 and finalised them for the meeting of that Committee on 20 July 2017.

               (3)

               The documentation provided by the applicant shows that sodium chloride fulfils the criteria of a foodstuff as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). Moreover, it is not predominantly used for plant protection purposes but nevertheless is useful in plant protection in a product consisting of the substance and water. Consequently, it is to be considered as a basic substance.

               (4)

               It has appeared from the examinations made that sodium chloride may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve sodium chloride as a basic substance.

               (5)

               In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions.

               (6)

               In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (5) should be amended accordingly.

               (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

   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first subparagraph of point (1) and point (4) of Article 8 thereof,
   Having regard to 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 (2), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 lays down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin. In particular, it provides that products of animal origin are to be imported only from a third country or a part of a third country that appears on a list drawn up and updated in accordance with that Regulation.

               (2)

               Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 also provides that when drawing up and updating such lists, account is to be taken of Union controls in third countries and guarantees by the competent authorities of third countries as regards compliance or equivalence with Union feed and food law and animal health rules specified in Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules (3).

               (3)

               Annex I to Commission Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 of 2 July 2010 laying down animal and public health and veterinary certification conditions for the introduction into the European Union of raw milk and dairy products intended for human consumption (4) sets out the list of third countries from which the introduction into the Union of consignments of raw milk and dairy products is authorised.

               (4)

               The autonomous country of the Netherlands Antilles is currently included in the list in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 605/2010.

               (5)

               Following an internal reform in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, effective as of 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles ceased to exist as an autonomous country within that Kingdom. On that same date, Curaçao and Sint Maarten gained the status of autonomous countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, while Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba became special municipalities of the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is therefore appropriate to delete the entry for the Netherlands Antilles from the list set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 605/2010.

               (6)

               Curaçao and Sint Maarten have not expressed an interest to continue exports of raw milk and dairy products intended for human consumption to the Union. It is therefore not appropriate to include them in the list set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 605/2010.

               (7)

               Regulation (EU) No 605/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (8)

               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
   In Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 605/2010, the entry for the Netherlands Antilles is deleted.
   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.

                           Council Regulation (EU) 2016/73 (5).

               (2)

               Fishing quotas for the year 2017 have been established by:

                           —

                           Council Regulation (EU) 2016/1903 (6),

                           —

                           Council Regulation (EU) 2016/2285 (7),

                           —

                           Council Regulation (EU) 2016/2372 (8), and

                           —

                           Council Regulation (EU) 2017/127 (9).

               (3)

               According to Article 105(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, when the Commission has established that a Member State has exceeded the fishing quotas which have been allocated to it, the Commission is to operate deductions from future fishing quotas of that Member State.

               (4)

               Article 105(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 provides that such deductions have to be operated in the following year or years by applying the respective multiplying factors as set out therein.

               (5)

               Certain Member States have exceeded their fishing quotas for the year 2016. It is therefore appropriate to operate deductions on the fishing quotas allocated to them in 2017 and, where relevant, in subsequent years, for the overfished stocks.

               (6)

               Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2016/2226 (10) and (EU) 2017/162 (11) have provided for deductions from fishing quotas for certain countries and species for 2016. However, for certain Member States, the deductions to be applied for some species were higher than the respective quotas available in 2016 and could therefore not be operated entirely in that year. To ensure that in such cases the full amount for the respective stocks be deducted, the remaining quantities should be taken into account when establishing deductions for 2017 and, where appropriate, from subsequent quotas.

               (7)

               In the framework of Article 3(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 (12), by letter dated 16 November 2016, Belgium requested Commission's permission to land additional quantities of turbot and brill in Union waters of IIa and IV (T/B/2AC4-C) within the limits of 10 % of the quota. The additional quantities granted in 2016 under that procedure should be considered as exceeding permitted landings for the purpose of the deductions envisaged in Article 105 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.

               (8)

               Deductions from fishing quotas, as provided for by this Regulation, should apply without prejudice to deductions applicable to 2017 quotas pursuant to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013 (13).

               (9)

               Since quotas are expressed in tonnes, overfishing involving quantities of less than 1 tonne should not be considered,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   The fishing quotas fixed in Regulations (EU) 2016/1903, (EU) 2016/2285, (EU) 2016/2372 and (EU) 2017/127 for the year 2017 shall be reduced as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   2.   Paragraph 1 shall apply without prejudice to deductions provided for in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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, 18 July 2017.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1928
   of 4 November 2016
   on determination of cargo carried for categories of ships other than passenger, ro-ro and container ships pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2015 on the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport, and amending Directive 2009/16/EC (1), and in particular paragraph 2 of Part A of Annex II thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The rules on the monitoring of cargo carried and other relevant information are laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2015/757. In particular, the determination of cargo carried for categories of ships other than passenger ships, ro-ro ships and container ships is to be done in accordance with the parameters set out in point (g) of paragraph 1 of Part A to that Annex.

               (2)

               In the case of oil tankers, chemical tankers, gas carriers, bulk carriers, refrigerated cargo ships and combination carriers, it is appropriate to ensure that the determination of the average operational energy efficiency indicator is in line with the IMO Guidelines for voluntary use of the Ship Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) (2) since those Guidelines reflect industry practices.

               (3)

               In the case of LNG carriers and container/ro-ro cargo ships, the parameter to be used for calculating cargo carried should reflect industry practices and ensure that the information provided is accurate and comparable over time.

               (4)

               In the case of general cargo ships, the determination of cargo carried should follow a specifically developed approach that takes into account variations in cargo density significant for this ship category. It is appropriate to allow these data to be supplemented on a voluntary basis with additional data in line with the IMO Guidelines for voluntary use of the Ship Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI).

               (5)

               In the case of vehicle carriers, the determination of cargo carried should follow a flexible approach based on two different options. In order to better reflect the special relevance of volume, it is appropriate to allow for data on a different additional parameter to be provided on a voluntary basis.

               (6)

               Ro-pax ships should be considered as a specific case in which particular conditions should apply. In view of the mixed service offered by ro-pax ships and to better reflect industry practices, two parameters should be applied to express cargo carried.

               (7)

               For other ship types not falling under any of the above categories nor under those in points (d), (e) and (f) of paragraph 1 of Part A of Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2015/757, a flexible approach should be permitted so as to fully reflect the diversity of ships carrying very different types of cargo. In order to ensure consistency and comparability of data over time in accordance with Article 4(3) of Regulation (EU) 2015/757, the company's choice concerning the most appropriate cargo carried parameter is to be documented in the ship's monitoring plan and applied accordingly.

               (8)

               The Commission has consulted parties concerned on the best industry practices on matters addressed by this Regulation. The consultation was carried out through the ‘Shipping MRV monitoring subgroup’ set up under the umbrella of the European Sustainable Shipping Forum.

               (9)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee established by Article 26 of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3),

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Subject matter
   This Regulation lays down rules specifying the parameters applicable to the determination of cargo carried for categories of ships other than passenger ships, ro-ro ships and container ships for the purposes of monitoring of other relevant information on a per-voyage basis pursuant to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/757.
   Article 2

   of 6 November 2012
   concerning the authorisation of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) as a feed additive for minor poultry species other than ducks (holder of authorisation Danisco Animal Nutrition)
   (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) and 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 use of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening, laying hens, ducks and turkeys for fattening by Commission Regulation (EU) No 9/2010 (2) and for weaned piglets and pigs for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 528/2011 (3).

               (3)

               In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for a new use of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) for minor poultry species other than ducks requesting that the additive be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

               (4)

               The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, and by the relevant data to support its requests.

               (5)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) focused its assessment on safety and efficacy for the new target species. The Authority concluded in its opinion of 22 May 2012 (4) that, under the proposed conditions of use, since safety of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) has been established in the major poultry species with a wide margin of safety, this conclusion can be extended to all poultry species requested. They stated that a similar conclusion on efficacy can be extrapolated from major poultry species to all minor poultry species. 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 Community Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (6)

               The assessment of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) produced by Trichoderma reesei (ATCC PTA 5588) 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 preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (7)

               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
   The enzyme as specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
   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.

   of 24 June 2016
   fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to applications for export licences for certain milk products to be exported to the Dominican Republic under the quota referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1187/2009

   of 8 July 2015
   approving the basic substance vinegar 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 23(5) in conjunction with Article 13(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Commission received on 24 April 2013 an application from the Institut Technique de l'Agriculture Biologique (ITAB) for the approval of vinegar as basic substance. On 17 March 2014 an application from the city of Paris (France) was received to extend the intended uses covered by the application for the approval of vinegar as basic substance. Those applications were accompanied by the information required by the second subparagraph of Article 23(3).

               (2)

               The Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) for scientific assistance. The Authority presented to the Commission a Technical Report on the substance concerned on 12 August 2014 (2). The Commission presented the review report (3) and a draft of this Regulation to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 27 January 2015 and finalised them for the meeting of that Committee of 29 May 2015.

               (3)

               The documentation provided by the applicant shows that vinegar fulfils the criteria of a foodstuff as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). Moreover, it is not predominantly used for plant protection purposes but nevertheless is useful in plant protection in a product consisting of the substance and water. In particular, vinegar should not be confused with acetic acid, an active substance which was included in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (5) by Commission Directive 2008/127/EC (6), as clarified in the Commission interpretative communication (7) on the names under which foodstuffs are sold. Consequently, vinegar is to be considered as a basic substance.

               (4)

               It has appeared from the examinations made that vinegar may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve vinegar as a basic substance.

               (5)

               In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions for the approval which are detailed in Annex I to this Regulation.

               (6)

               In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (8) should be amended accordingly.

               (7)
