         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 293/2012
   of 3 April 2012
   on monitoring and reporting of data on the registration of new light commercial vehicles pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2011 setting emission performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Union’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8(9) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, Member States must every year record and transmit certain data to the Commission about new light commercial vehicles registered in their territory in the previous year. As those data are to serve as the basis for determining the specific CO2 emissions target for manufacturers of new light commercial vehicles and for the assessment of whether manufacturers comply with those targets, it is necessary to harmonise the rules on the collection and reporting of those data.

               (2)

               To allow for the future inclusion in Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 of vehicles in categories M2 and N2 in accordance with Article 13(2) of that Regulation, data for those categories of vehicles should be recorded and transmitted to the Commission.

               (3)

               In order to assess fully whether each manufacturer complies with its specific CO2 emissions target established pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 and to gain the necessary experience from the application of that Regulation, the Commission needs detailed data at manufacturer level for each vehicle series defined by type, variant and version. Member States should therefore ensure that such data are recorded and transmitted to the Commission together with the aggregated data in accordance with Article 8(2) of that Regulation.

               (4)

               Pursuant to Articles 18 and 26 of Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (2), a manufacturer must ensure that each new light commercial vehicle placed on the market in the Union is accompanied by a valid certificate of conformity and a Member State may not register such a vehicle unless it is accompanied by such a certificate of conformity. Therefore, the certificate of conformity should be the primary source for the information that the Member States are required to record, make available to manufacturers pursuant to Article 8(1) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 and report to the Commission. In certain justified cases, Member States may also use information from sources other than the certificate of conformity, provided that the accuracy of those sources is equivalent to the certificate of conformity and, where necessary, that the Member States concerned put measures in place to guarantee that accuracy.

               (5)

               The data on the registration of new light commercial vehicles should be accurate and should be processed effectively for the purpose of establishing the specific emissions target in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011. Manufacturers should therefore provide the Commission with up-to-date information on the manufacturers’ names that are used on the certificates of conformity in the different Member States of registration. That information will enable the Commission to provide the Member States with an up-dated list of designated manufacturers’ names which should be used for the purpose of data reporting.

               (6)

               Member States should record and report information about newly registered vehicles that are designed to use alternative fuels. In order to allow the Commission to take into account reductions to the specific emissions target due to the use of ethanol (E85) fuel in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, Member States should provide the Commission with the necessary information, including the proportion of filling stations in their territory and, where applicable, the total number of those which provide ethanol (E85) fuel meeting the sustainability criteria set out in Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC (3), and in Article 7b of Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Council Directive 93/12/EEC (4).

               (7)

               In order to avoid unnecessary data duplication, the information on the number of filling stations in the respective territory of the Member States that supply ethanol (E85) fuel provided in accordance with Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 1014/2010 of 10 November 2010 on monitoring and reporting of data on the registration of new passenger cars pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) should be used for the purposes of Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011.

               (8)

               Articles 23 and 24 of Directive 2007/46/EC provide for a simplified approval procedure for which it is not required to issue a European certificate of conformity. Member States should monitor the number of vehicles registered under those procedures in order to assess its impact on the monitoring process and the attainment of the Union’s average CO2 emissions target for the new light commercial vehicle fleet.

               (9)

               The measures provided for in this Implementing Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee,

                           Member of the Supreme Cyberspace Council. Former president of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB). Former Head of IRIB World Service and Press TV, responsible for all programming decisions. Closely associated with the state security apparatus. Under his direction Press TV, along with IRIB, has worked with the Iranian security services and prosecutors to broadcast forced confessions of detainees, including that of Iranian-Canadian journalist and film-maker Maziar Bahari, in the weekly programme “Iran Today”. Independent broadcast regulator OFCOM fined Press TV in the UK GBP 100 000  for broadcasting Bahari's confession in 2011, which was filmed in prison whilst Bahari was under duress. Sarafraz therefore is associated with violating the right to due process and fair trial.

                  Information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee:
                  The Bureau d'achat de Diamant en Centrafrique/KARDIAM was listed on 20 August 2015 pursuant to paragraph 12 (d) of resolution 2196 (2015) as ‘providing support for armed groups or criminal networks through the illicit exploitation or trade of natural resources, including diamonds, gold, as well as wildlife and wildlife products, in the CAR’

                     Additional information:

                  BADICA/KARDIAM has provided support for armed groups in the Central African Republic, namely former Séléka and anti-Balaka, through the illicit exploitation and trade of natural resources, including diamonds and gold.
                  The Bureau d'Achat de Diamant en Centrafrique (BADICA) continued in 2014 to purchase diamonds from Bria and Sam-Ouandja (Haute Kotto province) in the east of the Central African Republic, where former Séléka forces impose taxes on aircraft transporting diamonds and receive security payments from diamond collectors. Several of BADICA's supplying collectors in Bria and Sam-Ouandja are closely associated with former Séléka commanders.
                  In May 2014, Belgian authorities seized two diamond parcels sent to BADICA's representation in Antwerp, which is officially registered in Belgium as KARDIAM. Diamond experts assessed that the diamonds seized have a high probability to be of Central African origin, and that they display characteristics typical of Sam-Ouandja and Bria, as well as Nola (Sangha Mbaéré province), in the south west of the country.
                  Traders who were purchasing diamonds illegally trafficked from Central African Republic to foreign markets, including from the western part of the country, have operated in Cameroon on behalf of BADICA.
                  In May 2014, BADICA also exported gold produced in Yaloké (Ombella-Mpoko), where artisanal gold mines fell under control of Séléka until the beginning of February 2014, when anti-Balakagroups took over.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 742/2011
   of 27 July 2011
   on the issue of licences for importing rice under the tariff quotas opened for the July 2011 subperiod by Regulation (EC) No 327/98
   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,
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 327/98 of 10 February 1998 opening and providing for the administration of certain tariff quotas for imports of rice and broken rice (3), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 5 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 327/98 opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex IX to that Regulation.

               (2)

               July is the third subperiod for the quota laid down in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98 and the second subperiod for the quotas laid down in Article 1(1)(b), (c) and (d).

               (3)

               The notifications presented under Article 8(a) of Regulation (EC) No 327/98 show that, for the quotas with order numbers 09.4154 – 09.4166, the applications lodged in the first ten working days of July 2011 under Article 4(1) of the Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested under the quotas concerned.

               (4)

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 503/2014
   of 8 May 2014
   approving minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Muscat du Ventoux (PDO))
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 53(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission has examined France's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Muscat du Ventoux’, registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 378/1999 (2).

               (2)

               The purpose of the application is to amend the specification by giving more detailed information on the product description, geographical area, proof of origin, method of production, labelling, national requirements and the contact details of the structures responsible for monitoring the designation and the applicant group, and by removing the requirement for packaging in the area.

               (3)

               The Commission has examined the amendments in question and concluded that they are justified. Since the amendment is minor within the meaning of the third subparagraph of Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission may approve it without following the procedure set out in Articles 50 and 52 of the Regulation,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Muscat du Ventoux’ is hereby amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   Annex II to this Regulation contains the consolidated Single Document setting out the main points of the specification.
   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.
      Done at Brussels, 8 May 2014.

            For the Commission,

            On behalf of the President,

         Dacian CIOLOȘ

            Member of the Commission

      (1)  OJ L 343, 14.12.2012, p. 1.

      (2)  OJ L 46, 20.2.1999, p. 13.

      ANNEX I
      The following amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Muscat du Ventoux’ are approved:
      1.   Description of product

      The national provisions defining the registered designation of origin ‘Muscat du Ventoux’, particularly the analytical characteristics relating to the designation (refractometric index, sugar/acid ratio) and the characteristics relating to the bunch (shape, minimum weight) have been added to the product description. These elements already featured in the specifications registered at EU level under the heading ‘Method of production’.
      2.   Definition of the geographical area

      The stages that must take place in the geographical area are listed; this list comes from the application of the provisions set out in the method of production.
      The list of communes which make up the geographical area included in the specifications is based on the list in the Decree of 22 August 1997 defining the AOC (appellation d'origine contrôlée, registered designation of origin). A previous error in determining the number of communes in the geographical area is corrected.
      The specification clarifies how to determine which parcels are suitable for producing the designation.
      3.   Evidence that the product originates from the geographical area

      Owing to developments in national legislation and regulations, the text under the heading ‘Evidence that the product originates from the defined geographical area’ has been consolidated to bring together, in particular, provisions on declaration requirements and the keeping of registers for tracing the product and monitoring production conditions.
      These amendments result from the reform of the system for inspecting designations of origin introduced by Order No 2006-1547 of 7 December 2006 on enhancing the value of agricultural, forestry, food and marine products.
      In addition, the aspects relating to the product's history have been moved to the ‘Link with the geographical area’ section.
      4.   Method of production

      The provisions set out in the initial decree concerning the recognition of the registered designation of origin ‘Muscat du Ventoux’, which was annexed to the initial request for recognition of the designation as a PDO, have been added to the ‘Method of production’ section, in particular on:

                  —

                  the minimum age of the vines for entry into production;

                  —

                  the densities of planting;

                  —

                  the pruning methods;

                  —

                  the authorised vegetation height and number of bunches per vine;

                  —

                  the factors determining the start of harvest and obligations with regard to the yield;

                  —

                  the specific provisions that apply to grapes put in long-term storage in cold rooms.

            Finally, the provisions allowing for derogations from the rules on the refractometric index, the harvest start and the yield in the event of exceptional climatic conditions have been withdrawn from the specification as they are no longer appropriate.
      5.   ‘Specific labelling details’

      The labelling provisions have been amended to:

                  —

                  include the obligation to affix the European Union ‘PDO’ symbol;

                  —

                  reflect the withdrawal of the requirement for packaging in the area and the amended product identification requirements. At present the products are identified by a special sticker affixed to the packaging which allows the products to be traced. Taking account of the request to withdraw the requirement for packaging in the area, the sticker is affixed to the crates of harvested grapes or when the grapes are removed from long-term cold storage. If the product is handled further ahead of its final packaging, only the number on the sticker is retained on the product label in order to guarantee the traceability of the product.

            6.   National requirements

      In line with the national reform of the inspection system, the specification has been supplemented with a table setting out the main items to be checked and the evaluation methods to be used.
      7.   Other

                  —

                  The requirement for packaging in the area is withdrawn, as this provision has proven no longer necessary.

                  —

                  The ‘Contact details of the inspection bodies’, and the ‘Applicant group’ sections have been updated with the name and contact details of the official inspection bodies and the applicant group to reflect the change in the inspection methods.

      CONSOLIDATED SINGLE DOCUMENT
      COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 510/2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1)

      ‘MUSCAT DU VENTOUX’
      EC No: FR-PDO-0105-0996-24.04.2012
      PGI () PDO (X)
      1.   Name

      ‘Muscat du Ventoux’
      2.   Member State or third country

      France
      3.   Description of the agricultural product or foodstuff

      3.1.   Type of product

      Class 1.6. Fruit, vegetables and cereals, fresh or processed
      3.2.   Description of product to which the name in (1) applies

      ‘Muscat du Ventoux’ is a black table grape produced from the ‘Muscat de Hambourg’ variety. It is characterised by its rather large grapes without red grains, generally highly coloured and crunchy, with a muscat flavour which is both intense and elegant. The bunches of grapes are homogeneous and weigh at least 250 g with an even distribution of berries in the bunch. The enhanced bluish colouring is typical of the designation. The bloom of the grape must be unadulterated. The stalk should be turgescent.
      The grapes have a refractometric index (RI) of over 18 (equivalent to 169,3 g/l of sugar) and a total sugar/acid ratio (S/A) of over 25 (the sugar expressed in g/l of total sugars and the acidity in g/l of tartaric acid).
      3.3.   Raw materials (for processed products only)

      —
      3.4.   Feed (for products of animal origin only)

      —
      3.5.   Specific steps in production that must take place in the defined geographical area

      The entire grape production process takes place within the defined geographical area.
      3.6.   Specific rules on slicing, grating, packaging, etc.

      The long-term cold storage of the grapes takes place in the geographical area to allow them to be refrigerated very rapidly in order to preserve the product and prevent it from spoiling. The speed with which the core temperature of the grapes is lowered is an indispensable condition for keeping them for several months. The grapes are subjected to systematic analytical and organoleptic examinations to ensure their characteristics are retained.
      3.7.   Specific rules concerning labelling

      The labelling of the grapes of the designation of origin ‘Muscat du Ventoux’ bears the name of the designation of origin, the EU's PDO symbol and the sticker number.
      4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

      The ‘Muscat du Ventoux’ geographical area is situated between three upland regions: Mont Ventoux to the north; the Vaucluse mountains to the east and the Luberon massif to the south. It covers the following communes in the department of Vaucluse:
      Apt, Aubignan, Le Barroux, Le Beaucet, Beaumettes, Beaumont-du-Ventoux, Bédoin, Blauvac, Bonnieux, Cabrières-d'Avignon, Caromb, Carpentras, Caseneuve, Castellet, Crestet, Crillon-le-Brave, Entrechaux, Flassan, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, Gargas, Gignac, Gordes, Goult, Joucas, Lacoste, Lagnes, Lioux, Loriol-du-Comtat, Malaucène, Malemort-du-Comtat, Maubec, Mazan, Ménerbes, Méthamis, Modène, Mormoiron, Murs, Oppède, Pernes-les-Fontaines, Robion, La Roque-sur-Pernes, Roussillon, Rustrel, Saignon, Saint-Didier, Saint-Hippolyte-le-Graveyron, Saint-Martin-de-Castillon, Saint-Pantaléon, Saint-Pierre-de-Vassols, Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt, Saumane-de-Vaucluse, Vaison-la-Romaine, Venasque, Viens, Villars and Villes-sur-Auzon.
      5.   Link with the geographical area

      5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

      5.1.1.   Natural factors
      The Ventoux region is distinguished by its specific geological and climatic characteristics.
      The sandy-loamy clay soils make this region ideal for producing quality table grapes and wine.
      The area has a Mediterranean type climate, which receives plenty of sunshine in summer and low rainfall. However, the influence of Mont Ventoux, which peaks at 1900 m, makes for colder temperatures at night. The mountain also protects the area from the mistral, the sometimes violent wind that predominates in the Rhône valley.
      The low levels of humidity which result from the low annual rainfall have a prophylactic effect which is particularly suitable for growing vines.
      5.1.2.   Human factors
      ‘Muscat du Ventoux’ grapes have been grown in the Vaucluse region since the beginning of the 20th century. There are records dating back to 1914 of ‘muscat de Hambourg’, the grapes used to produce ‘Muscat de Ventoux’, being grown in the department of Vaucluse.
      The producers in this area have developed a real expertise in how to cultivate the vine to obtain healthy, coloured berries. The producers optimise the vitality of the plants and the ripening of the grapes throughout the year by pruning the tendrils in winter and managing the foliage in the growing season. The hand-picking of the grapes and sorting on site is further evidence of the expertise honed from long years of experience handed down from generation to generation.
      5.2.   Specificity of the product

      ‘Muscat du Ventoux’ is a black table grape produced from the ‘Muscat de Hambourg’ variety. It is characterised by its rather large berries without red grains, generally intensely coloured and crunchy, with a muscat flavour and taste characteristic of the ‘muscat de Hambourg’ variety. The enhanced bluish colouring during ripening is typical of the designation. The bloom of the grape must be unadulterated. The bunches of grapes are homogenous, with a good sugar content.
      5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)

      The area's Mediterranean climate, and its exposure to sunlight in particular, is ideally suited for ripening grapes. Furthermore, the influence of Mont Ventoux on the wide variation in day and night-time temperatures during the ripening season means that this region has the ideal conditions for the muscat to obtain its bluish colouring and concentrated aromas. The night-time coolness contributes particularly to preserving the aromas.
      The pruning of the vine limits the yield, allowing for optimal ripening of the grapes. Furthermore, particular care is taken to manage the foliage. This work makes it possible to achieve an optimal level of foliage which is one of the elements necessary for a good photosynthesis of sugars, the organoleptic components of the grape and the anthocynanins which give the berries their colour.
