         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 869/2012
   of 24 September 2012
   concerning the authorisation of thaumatin as a feed additive for all animal species
   (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) 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. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

               (2)

               Thaumatin was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for use on all animal species. That feed additive was subsequently entered in the Community Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (3)

               In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of thaumatin as a feed additive for all animal species, requesting that additive to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (4)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 6 September 2011 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, thaumatin does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that it is effective as flavouring. It concluded that no safety concerns would arise for users provided that appropriate protective measures are taken. 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.

               (5)

               The assessment of thaumatin 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 substance should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (6)

               Since modifications to the conditions of authorisation of thaumatin are introduced and as there are no direct immediate effects on safety, a reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before authorisation in order to allow the interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation. In addition, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for the disposal of existing stocks of thaumatin, as authorised in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC and of feed containing thaumatin.

               (7)

               It is disproportionately complex for operators to adapt repeatedly and from one day to the other labels of feed containing different additives which have been successively authorised according to the procedure laid down in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and for which new labelling rules are to be complied with. It is therefore appropriate to reduce the administrative burden on the operators by providing a period of time allowing a smooth conversion of labelling.

               (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
   Authorisation
   The substance thaumatin specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and to the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’ is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
   Article 2
   Labelling requirements
   Feed containing thaumatin shall be labelled in accordance with this Regulation at the latest by 25 May 2013.
   However, feed containing thaumatin which has been labelled in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC before 25 May 2013 may continue to be placed on the market until stocks are exhausted.
   Article 3
   Transitional measures
   Existing stocks of thaumatin and of feed containing thaumatin at the date of entry into force of this Regulation may continue to be placed on the market and used under the conditions of Directive 70/524/EEC until they are exhausted.
   Article 4
   Entry into force
   This Regulation shall enter into force 25 November 2012.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1349/2011
   of 20 December 2011
   amending Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural 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 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 134 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with Article 130 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 to manage imports, the Commission has been given the power to determine the products for which import will be subject to presentation of a licence. When assessing the need for a licence system, the Commission takes account of the appropriate instruments for the management of the markets and in particular for monitoring the imports.

               (2)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 (2) in its Article 1(2)(a)(i) in conjunction with its Annex II, Part I, point I, provides for a licence obligation for imports of ‘bananas, fresh imported under common customs tariff rate of duty’ falling within CN code 0803 00 19.

               (3)

               Currently, effective import monitoring can be carried out through other means. In the interest of simplification and for the purpose of alleviating the administrative burden for Member States and operators, the requirement of import licences for bananas should be abolished. Article 1(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2014/2005 of 9 December 2005 on licences under the arrangements for importing bananas into the Community in respect of bananas released into free circulation at the common customs tariff rate of duty (3) limits the validity of licences to the year of issue. It is therefore appropriate to repeal the obligation to obtain import licences as from 1 January 2012.

               (4)

               Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (5)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   In Part I of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 376/2008, Point I ‘Bananas
      (Part XI of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007)’ is deleted.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 January 2012.

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