title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1846 of 12 October 2017 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1272 as regards the budgetary ceilings for 2017 applicable to certain direct support schemes in Portugal

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1846
   of 12 October 2017
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1272 as regards the budgetary ceilings for 2017 applicable to certain direct support schemes in Portugal
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing rules for direct payments to farmers under support schemes within the framework of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 637/2008 and Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 (1), and in particular Articles 22(1) and 42(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1272 (2) fixed the annual national ceilings for certain direct payment schemes in 2017.

               (2)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1272 sets a ceiling for the redistributive payment in Portugal in accordance with Portugal's decision to apply the redistributive payment as from claim year 2017. Subsequently it has appeared that the financial allocation notified by Portugal omitted a part of the intended expenditure under that scheme. In order to ensure that the objective of the scheme to increase the support for the first hectares of a holding is met, the financial allocation for the redistributive payment in Portugal in 2017 should therefore be increased.

               (3)

               As a consequence, in accordance with Article 22 of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the ceiling for the basic payment scheme in Portugal in 2017 should be reduced accordingly.

               (4)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1272 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (5)

               As the amendment made by this Regulation affects the application of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1272, which applies from 1 January 2017, this Regulation should apply from the same date.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Direct Payments,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Amendment of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1272
   The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1272 is amended as follows:

               (1)

               in point I, the entry for Portugal is replaced by the following:

                           ‘Portugal

                           267 437 ’

               (2)

               in point III, the entry for Portugal is replaced by the following:

                           ‘Portugal

                           23 050 ’

         Article 2
   Entry into force and application
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 January 2017.

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

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/934
      of 8 June 2016
      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 Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 57(4) and Article 58(2) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2), 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 issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013. That period should be set at three months.

                  (5)

                  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

      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 which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
      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 June 2016.

                     Classification (CN Code)

                     Reasons

                     (1)

                     (2)

                     (3)

                     A product consisting of the following components, packed as a set:

                                 —

                                 A rectangular cut-out (approx. 14 × 21 cm) made of a plastic film of two layers, printed on the front with black-and-white motifs. The cut-out is fitted with a self-adhesive strip on the back. From this cut-out, six pre-cut, raised stickers (the top plastic film is in relief) can be peeled off.

                                 —

                                 Three porous-tipped felt pens in different colours. The felt pens are packed together in a small plastic package.

                           The stickers are to be coloured in with the felt pens and then used for decoration purposes.
                     See image (*).

                     4911 91 00

                     Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2 to Section VII of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN codes 4911  and 4911 91 00 .
                     The product is presented as a set for retail sale. Its essential character is given by the stickers.
                     Classification under heading 3919  is excluded as the shape of the pre-cut, raised stickers is not flat.
                     Classification under heading 3926  is excluded as the printing is not merely incidental to the primary use of the goods (see Note 2 to Section VII).
                     Chapter 49 covers, with a few exceptions, all printed matter of which the essential nature and use is determined by the fact of it being printed with motifs, characters or pictorial representations (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to Chapter 49, General, first paragraph).
                     Self-adhesive printed stickers designed to be used for decoration are covered by heading 4911  (see also the HSEN to heading 4911 , point (10)).
                     Therefore, the product is to be classified in CN code 4911 91 00 .

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/171
   of 4 February 2015
   on certain aspects of the procedure of licensing railway undertakings
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2012/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 establishing a single European railway area (1) and in particular Article 17(5) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Recommendation of 7 April 2004 on the use of a common European format for licence documents issued in accordance with Council Directive 95/18/EC on the licensing of railway undertakings (2) recommended the use of the standard format for the licence documents issued by national licensing authorities.

               (2)

               Pursuant to Article 23 of Directive 2012/34/EU licences delivered by national licensing authorities are valid throughout the territory of the Union. The national licensing authorities should inform the European Railway Agency of licences that have been issued, suspended, revoked or amended and the latter should inform the other Member States accordingly. A common template for the licence would facilitate the work of the national licensing authorities and of the European Railway Agency and provide easier access to information on licences by all interested parties, in particular the licensing authorities of other Member States and the infrastructure managers.

               (3)

               All necessary information that confirms that a given railway undertaking has been regularly licensed for a certain type of rail transport services can be contained within a standardised document. The standard template for the licence document would facilitate publication of all relevant information on licences on the website of the European Railway Agency. The standard format could be modified in the future depending on experience of its use and the development of the needs for further information on licences.

               (4)

               The conditions under which the requirements referred to in Article 22 of Directive 2012/34/EU relating to cover for civil liability may be fulfilled may vary between Member States depending on national law. Evidence that the railway undertaking meets these national requirements should be provided for by an annex to the licence document. The standard template for this annex should be used for this purpose. In case the railway undertaking wishes to exercise its activities in two or more Member States, the cover for civil liability for each of these Member States should be mentioned in an additional annex, which should be supplied by the licensing authority in the additional Member State the railway undertaking wishes to operate in.

               (5)

               Licensing authorities may reduce their administrative costs, the level of licensing fees and the time to make a decision on an application for a licence if they swiftly exchange the necessary data with other authorities and other public or private entities.

               (6)

               Due to little movement in the market, no licensing decisions are taken in some Member States for one or more consecutive years. At the same time, high fees may pose an obstacle to market entry of railway undertakings.

               (7)

               Railway undertakings which apply for a new licence should not face less favourable licensing conditions than the railway undertakings already operating in the market.

               (8)

               Unnecessary administrative burden imposed on licensing authorities and undertakings should be reduced by strictly limiting the requirements to the conditions set out in Directive 2012/34/EU.

               (9)

               The licensing authorities have no obligation to request a licensing fee from a railway undertaking. However Member States may decide to impose such a fee for the work undertaken by the licensing authorities on the examination of the application. In such a case the licensing fee should be non-discriminatory, be effectively levied on all the undertakings applying for a licence and be based on the actual workload of the licensing authority. If the licensing fee exceeds EUR 5 000, the licensing authority should set out the number of person hours employed and the expenditure in the payment note for the fee.

               (10)

               In an attempt to create a level playing field between railway undertakings, Directive 2012/34/EU has repealed certain arrangements that are not compatible with enhancing market conditions, whereby railway undertakings have to be insured or have adequate guarantees under market conditions. Licensing authorities should be invited to verify the implementation of the revised conditions in cooperation with other authorities of Member States.

               (11)

               The granting of a licence to a railway undertaking should not be conditional on it holding a safety certificate referred to in Article 10 of Directive 2004/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

               (12)

               New railway undertakings are critical for competition, but they may have practical difficulties to provide a track record on their financial fitness which allows them to establish realistic assumptions for a period of 12 months in the future according to Article 20(1) and (2) of Directive 2012/34/EU. Whilst EU legislators have created the option of simplified proof for certain smaller air carriers according to Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), the procedure for obtaining a licence may take account of these practical difficulties by alleviating the procedure for demonstrating financial fitness for railway undertakings that apply for a licence.

               (13)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 62(1) of Directive 2012/34/EU,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Subject matter
   This Regulation sets out the details for the use of a common template for the licence document. It also provides for certain aspects of the procedure for granting a licence.
   Article 2
   Definitions
   For the purpose of this Regulation, ‘licence document’ means the completed and duly signed common template, as set out in Annex I and II of this Regulation to be submitted to the European Railway Agency.
   Article 3
   The use of the common template for the licence document
   1.   Licences issued in accordance with Chapter III of Directive 2012/34/EU shall use the standard format set out in Annex I and II of this Regulation.
   In the case where a new licence is issued, the licensing authority shall attribute the EC licence notification number in accordance with the harmonised numbering system called European Identification Number (EIN), as laid down in the Appendix 2 of the Commission Decision 2007/756/EC (5).
   Each time a licence is granted, amended in way relevant to the licence document, suspended, revoked or replaced by a temporary licence, the licensing authority shall establish a licence document based on this format
   2.   Licensing authorities shall inform the European Railway Agency in accordance with Article 24(8) of Directive 2012/34/EU providing a copy of the licence document as stipulated in the communication protocol agreed between them.
   3.   The information concerning the financial cover for civil liability referred to in Article 22 of Directive 2012/34/EU shall be stated in the annex to the licence document, using the standard format laid down in Annex II to this Regulation. The authority issuing the licence shall attach an annex to the licence document. This annex shall be given the number one (1).
   4.   Through the information provided in the liability annexes, as set out in Annex II of this Regulation, the licensing authority in a particular Member State or an infrastructure manager may check whether the cover of civil liability taken by the railway undertaking and approved by other licensing authorities is sufficient in this particular Member State. If the licensing authority determines that the level of cover is insufficient it may request the railway undertaking to take out additional cover. The railway undertaking shall provide the licensing authority with the requested information about its cover.
   5.   Once the licensing authority is satisfied with the cover, it shall inform the European Railway Agency, updating an existing annex communicated by a licensing authority of the same Member State or adding a further annex to the licence, using the standard format of this Annex II and assign the next number (2, 3, 4, etc.) to this annex.
   6.   Each liability annex shall mention the amount, the scope, such as geographical scope or types of services, and the commencement date and, if applicable, of expiration of the cover. The licence notification number shall be mentioned in each annex to establish a clear link with the licensed railway undertaking. The licensing authority shall establish an updated annex when it is informed about a change in the cover for civil liability and communicate the annex to the European Railway Agency.
   Article 4
   Licensing fees
   Member States may request a licensing fee for the examination of each application. Licensing fees shall be applied in a non-discriminatory way.
   Article 5
   Certain aspects pertaining to requirements on civil liability cover and adequate guarantees
   1.   The licensing authority shall publish the minimum required levels of cover, including where the amount of such cover is laid down in national law.
   2.   The licensing authority may not request cover to take effect before the railway undertaking starts its train operations.
   3.   By 25 August 2015 at the latest, the licensing authority that has issued the licence shall request from all licensed railway undertakings evidence on the level and scope of their existing cover for liabilities in the event of accidents, unless they have contracted an insurance or the authority already has this information. It may also request such evidence from the railway undertakings in case it has doubts whether their cover meets the requirements referred to in Article 22 of Directive 2012/34/EU.
   4.   In case the undertaking does not demonstrate that it is adequately insured, but that it has adequate guarantees for cover, the licensing authority, if appropriate after consultation of the regulatory body, shall examine whether the conditions under which the undertaking has obtained such guarantees correspond to market conditions which would have been obtained by any other undertaking with the same level of financial standing and risk exposure.
   5.   If the licensing authority suspends the licence in accordance with Article 24(1) of Directive 2012/34/EU, or grants a temporary licence in accordance with Article 24(3) of the said Directive, it shall inform any other competent authorities referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), with which it knows that the railway undertaking had contracted services. If the licensing authority has doubts regarding the compatibility of the guarantees for cover of its liabilities with the Union rules on State aid, it may transmit the necessary information to the authorities responsible for the control of such State aid rules.
   Article 6
   Relation with safety certificates
   1.   The granting of a licence may not be conditional on the undertaking holding a safety certificate referred to in Article 10 of Directive 2004/49/EC.
   2.   If an undertaking holds a safety certificate, the licensing authority shall not check requirements for safety certificates, when granting the licence.
   Article 7
   Certain aspects of the procedure for granting a licence
   1.   Within one month of the receipt of the application, the licensing authority shall inform the undertaking that the file is complete or ask for complementary information. This time limit may be extended by two weeks under exceptional circumstances and the undertaking shall be informed thereof. Once the complementary information has been received, the licensing authority shall inform the undertaking within a maximum of one month whether the file is complete.
   2.   The licensing authority may only request documents referred to in Chapter III of Directive 2012/34/EU or required by national legislation. The licensing authority shall publish a list of all the documents and their contents and shall not request any further documents from undertakings. If the list is updated and published, undertakings may still rely on the former list as regards applications they submitted before the update.
   3.   In respect of undertakings with annual revenues of less than EUR 5 million from rail transport activities, the licensing authority may consider the requirement regarding its ability to meet actual and potential obligations for a period of 12 months from the start of operations in accordance with Article 20(1) of Directive 2012/34/EU as fulfilled, if the undertaking can demonstrate that its net capital is at least EUR 100 000 or an amount agreed with the regulatory body. The licensing authority shall publish this amount.
   Article 8
   Entry into force
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication the Official Journal of the European Union.
   This Regulation shall apply from 16 June 2015.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 858/2014
   of 4 August 2014
   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 issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at three months.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

         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 which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   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, 4 August 2014.

            For the Commission,

            On behalf of the President,

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN-code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  An article (so-called manual knife sharpener) with measurements of approximately 27 × 14 × 19 cm, consisting of a handle and a support containing a two-stage (sharpening and polishing) grinding system with micron size diamond abrasives.
                  See image (1)

                  8205 51 00

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8205 and 8205 51 00.
                  Given its objective characteristics, the article is intended for domestic use for manually sharpening knives and other blades. Even if the article is designed to be put on a flat surface to operate, it can, however, only be fully operational if held by hand. Consequently, classification as hand tools of heading 8205 is justified.
                  The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 8205 51 00 as household tools.

   of 29 July 2011
   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.

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A hollow, non-threaded cylindrical article of steel, other than stainless steel, plated with zinc (so-called "express nail"). It has a complete opening along one side. One of the ends is slightly curved outwards. The other end has a sharp, cutting edge.
                  The article is used as a fastener, by hammering it into a drilled hole for, for example, quick installations of battens onto concrete walls. The sharpened end provides for greater ease in driving it in. Its hollow construction, the opening along one side and the outwardly curved end provide for increased holding power when it is hammered in entirely.

                      (1)
                     See image

                  7317 00 90

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7317 00 and 7317 00 90.
                  Classification under heading 7318 is excluded as the design of the article is not similar to that of any of the articles mentioned under that heading.
                  Classification under heading 7326 is excluded as the article cannot be regarded as a wall plug of steel as, due to its construction, it is not designed to allow the tight fitting of screws into masonry walls.
                  The article is similar to, and functions in the same way as, a nail of heading 7317. Hammering it in entirely is enough to ensure that the object to be fastened, for example, a batten, remains tightly secured.
                  The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 7317 00 90 as other articles of steel, similar to a nail.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1186
   of 3 July 2017
   withdrawing the approval of the active substance repellents by smell of animal or plant origin/tall oil crude, 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 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 the second alternative of Article 21(3) and Article 78(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Directive 2008/127/EC (2) included repellents by smell of animal or plant origin/tall oil crude as active substance in Annex I to Council Directive 91/414/EEC (3). Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 637/2012 (4) required that Member States concerned ensure that the notifier at whose request repellents by smell of animal or plant origin/tall oil crude has been included provide further confirmatory information on the equivalence between the specifications of the technical material as commercially manufactured and those of the test material used in the toxicity dossiers and on the toxicological profile of the substance by 1 May 2013 and 31 May 2014 respectively.

               (2)

               Active substances included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC are deemed to have been approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and are listed in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (5).

               (3)

               In April 2013, the notifier submitted information, with a view to complying with the obligation to submit further information as referred to in recital 1, to the rapporteur Member State, Greece.

               (4)

               Greece assessed the information submitted by the notifier including some further information related to the initial submission that was submitted during the evaluation process. It submitted its assessment, in the form of addenda to the draft assessment report, to the other Member States, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority, herein after ‘the Authority’ in November 2014 and November 2015.

               (5)

               The Member States, the applicant and the Authority were consulted and asked to provide comments on the assessment of the rapporteur Member State. The Authority published a Technical Report summarising the outcome of this consultation for tall oil crude on 27 March 2015 (6).

               (6)

               In the light of the information provided by the notifier, the evaluation of this information by the rapporteur Member State and the comments submitted on the evaluation by Member States and EFSA, the Commission considers that the confirmatory information is not sufficient to conclude on the equivalence between the specifications of the technical material as commercially manufactured, and those of the test material used in the toxicity dossiers nor on the toxicological profile of the substance.

               (7)

               The Commission invited the notifier to submit its comments on the considerations of the Commission.

               (8)

               However, despite the arguments put forward by the notifier, the Commission has come to the conclusion that the information submitted is incomplete and does not allow a conclusion on the equivalence between the specifications of the technical material as commercially manufactured and those of the test material used in the toxicity dossiers nor on the toxicological profile of the substance to be made.

               (9)

               Consequently, it is appropriate to withdraw the approval of that active substance.

               (10)

               The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (11)

               Member States should be provided with time to withdraw authorisations for plant protection products containing that active substance.

               (12)

               For plant protection products containing that active substance, where Member States grant any grace period in accordance with Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, that period should, at the latest, expire on 24 October 2018.

               (13)

               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
   Withdrawal of approval
   The approval of the active substance repellents by smell of animal or plant origin/tall oil crude is withdrawn.
   Article 2
   Amendment to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011

   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.
