         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 411/2014
   of 23 April 2014
   opening and providing for the administration of a Union import tariff quota for fresh and frozen beef and veal originating in Ukraine
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular points (a), (c) and (d) of Article 187 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides for preferential arrangements for 2014 as regards customs duties for the import of certain goods originating in Ukraine. In accordance with Article 3 of that Regulation agricultural products listed in Annex III thereto are to be admitted for import into the Union within the limits of the quotas as set out in that Annex. The quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 are to be administered by the Commission in accordance with Article 184(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

               (2)

               While the quota concerned should normally be managed through the use of import licences, it is however appropriate to attribute import rights as a first step and to issue import licences as a second, as provided for in Article 6(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (3). In this way, operators that have obtained import rights should be able to decide, during the quota period, the moment when they wish to apply for import licences, in view of their actual trade flows.

               (3)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 (4) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 382/2008 (5) should apply to import licences issued in accordance with this Regulation, save where derogations are appropriate.

               (4)

               Furthermore, the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 which concern applications for import rights, the status of applicants and the issue of import licences should apply to import licences issued pursuant to this Regulation, without prejudice to additional conditions laid down in this Regulation.

               (5)

               For appropriate administration of the tariff quotas, a security should be lodged at the time of submission of an import rights application.

               (6)

               In order to oblige operators to apply for import licences for all the import rights allocated, it should be provided that such obligation constitutes a primary requirement within the meaning of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 282/2012 (6).

               (7)

               Since the quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 are open only until 31 October 2014, this Regulation should enter into force as soon as possible.

               (8)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Opening and management of a tariff quota
   1.   This Regulation opens and manages an import tariff quota for the products indicated in Annex I.
   2.   The quantity of products covered by the quota referred to in paragraph 1, the applicable rate of customs duty and the order numbers shall be as set out in Annex I.
   3.   The import tariff quota referred to in paragraph 1 shall be managed by attributing import rights as a first step and issuing import licences as a second.
   4.   Regulations (EC) No 1301/2006, (EC) No 376/2008 and (EC) No 382/2008 shall apply, unless otherwise provided for in this Regulation.

   3.   Applicants for import rights shall demonstrate that a quantity of beef falling under CN codes 0201 or 0202 has been imported by them or on their behalf under the relevant customs provisions, during the 12th month period immediately prior to the import tariff quota period (hereinafter ‘reference quantity’). A company formed by the merger of companies, each having imported reference quantities, may use those reference quantities as basis for its application.

   6.   Import rights shall be awarded as from the 7th and no later than the 12th working day following the end of the period for the notifications referred to in paragraph 5.
   7.   If application of the allocation coefficient referred to in Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 results in fewer import rights to be allocated than had been applied for, the security lodged in accordance with paragraph 2 shall be released proportionally without delay.
   8.   Import rights shall be valid from the day of the issue until 31 October 2014. Import rights shall not be transferable.
   Article 4
   Issue of import licences
   1.   The release into free circulation of the quantities awarded under the import tariff quota referred to in Article 1(1) shall be subject to the presentation of an import licence.
   2.   Import licence applications shall cover the total quantity of import rights allocated. This obligation shall constitute a primary requirement within the meaning of Article 19(2) of Regulation (EU) No 282/2012.
   3.   Licence applications may be submitted solely in the Member State where the applicant has applied for and obtained import rights under the import tariff quota referred to in Article 1(1).
   Each issue of import licence shall result in a corresponding reduction of the import rights obtained and the security lodged in accordance with Article 3(2) shall be released proportionally without delay.
   4.   Import licences shall be issued upon application by and in the name of the operator who has obtained the import rights.
   5.   Licence applications shall refer to only one order number. They may concern several products covered by different CN codes. In that case, all the CN codes and their descriptions shall be entered in boxes 15 and 16 of the licence application and the licence respectively.
   6.   Licence applications and import licences shall contain:

               in box 8, the name ‘Ukraine’ as country of origin and the box ‘yes’ marked by a cross;

               (b)

               in box 20, one of the entries listed in Annex II.

         7.   Each licence shall mention the quantity for each CN code.
   8.   By way of derogation from Article 5(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 382/2008, the import licences shall be valid 30 days from the actual day of issue of the licence within the meaning of Article 22(2) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008. The term of validity of the import licences shall, however, expire at the latest on 31 October 2014.
   Article 5

               (a)

               no later than 14 November 2014, of the quantities of products, including nil returns, for which import licences were issued during the quota period;

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1095
   of 6 July 2016
   concerning the authorisation of Zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc chloride anhydrous, Zinc oxide, Zinc sulphate heptahydrate, Zinc sulphate monohydrate, Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate, Zinc chelate of protein hydrolysates, Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate (solid) and Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate (liquid) as feed additives for all animal species and amending Regulations (EC) No 1334/2003, (EC) No 479/2006, (EU) No 335/2010 and Implementing Regulations (EU) No 991/2012 and (EU) No 636/2013
   (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)

               The zinc compounds Zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc oxide, Zinc sulphate heptahydrate, Zinc sulphate monohydrate, Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate and Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate were authorised without a time limit by Commission Regulations (EC) No 1334/2003 (3) and (EC) No 479/2006 (4) in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC. These products were subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as existing products, 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, applications were submitted for the re-evaluation of Zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc oxide, Zinc sulphate heptahydrate, Zinc sulphate monohydrate, Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate and Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate as feed additives for all animal species. Additionally, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, an application was submitted for Zinc chloride anhydrous as feed additive for all animal species. The applicants requested that those additives be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’. The applications were 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 opinions of 1 February 2012 (5), 8 March 2012 (6), 23 May 2012 (7), 15 November 2012 (8), 12 September 2013 (9) and 12 March 2015 (10) that, under the proposed conditions of use, Zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc chloride anhydrous, Zinc oxide, Zinc sulphate heptahydrate, Zinc sulphate monohydrate, Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate and Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate do not have an adverse effect on animal and human health and that no safety concerns for users would arise provided that appropriate protective measures are taken.

               (5)

               With respect to the impacts on the environment, in particular the drainage and run-off of zinc to surface water, the Authority recommended in its opinion of 8 April 2014 (11) to decrease significantly the maximum contents of zinc in complete feed for several target species. However, in order not to risk not meeting the physiological needs of animals also in special life periods or any other negative impacts on animal health, the decrease of zinc contents recommended by the Authority should not be introduced in one step. With the objective of further reductions, feed business operators and research institutes should be encouraged to collect new scientific data about the physiological needs of the different animal species.

               (6)

               The Authority further concluded that Zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc chloride anhydrous, Zinc oxide, Zinc sulphate heptahydrate, Zinc sulphate monohydrate, Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate and Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate are effective sources of zinc. Considering the chemical characteristics of Zinc chelate of amino acids, the Authority recommends its splitting into the following two groups: Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate and Zinc chelate of protein hydrolysates. Moreover, for Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate two different forms have been assessed, a solid and a liquid one. 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 additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (7)

               The assessment of Zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc chloride anhydrous, Zinc oxide, Zinc sulphate heptahydrate, Zinc sulphate monohydrate, Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate, Zinc chelate of protein hydrolysates, Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate (solid) and Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate (liquid) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of these substances should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (8)

               As a result of the granting authorisation for ‘Zinc acetate dihydrate’, ‘Zinc oxide’, ‘Zinc sulphate heptahydrate’, ‘Zinc sulphate monohydrate’, ‘Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate’ and ‘Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate’ by this Regulation, the entries on these substances in Regulations (EC) No 479/2006 and (EC) No 1334/2003 are obsolete and should therefore be deleted.

               (9)

               Commission Regulation (EU) No 335/2010 (12) and Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 991/2012 (13) and (EU) No 636/2013 (14) authorised several zinc compounds as nutritional feed additives. In order to take into account the conclusions of the Authority in its opinion of 8 April 2014, which were also the scientific basis for the provisions concerning the total zinc content in compound feed for the additives authorised by this Regulation and which are mainly referring to the environmental impact of feed supplementation with zinc, it is appropriate to align the maximum contents of zinc in Regulation (EU) No 335/2010 and Implementing Regulations (EU) No 991/2012 and (EU) No 636/2013 with the provisions of this Regulation as regards the zinc content in compound feed. Regulations (EU) No 335/2010 and Implementing Regulations (EU) No 991/2012 and (EU) No 636/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (10)

               Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation for Zinc acetate dihydrate, Zinc oxide, Zinc sulphate heptahydrate, Zinc sulphate monohydrate, Zinc chelate of amino acids hydrate and Zinc chelate of glycine hydrate and the zinc compounds authorised by Regulation (EU) No 335/2010 and Implementing Regulations (EU) No 991/2012 and (EU) No 636/2013, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.

               (11)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
