               The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use recommended the establishment of a MRL for methylprednisolone for equidae, and the extrapolation of the MRL for methylprednisolone from bovine milk to horse milk.

               (7)

               The entry for methylprednisolone in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include the MRL for equidae, applicable to muscle, fat, liver, kidney and milk.

               (8)

               It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with the newly set MRL.

               (9)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 761/2011
   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 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 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.
   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, 29 July 2011.

      (2)  OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1.

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A connector consisting of a plastic casing with openings on both sides for the inflow and outflow of liquids. It is fitted with a screw cap and a fastening in the form of a check (non-return) valve.
                  The connector is used in medical infusion sets. One side is to be connected to a tube and the other to a syringe or an infusion line. The fastening opens when the connector is attached to the syringe or infusion line and closes when it is removed, thus preventing the escape of liquid and the entry of air during the infusion.
                  The connectors are presented in sterile or unsterile packs.

                      (1)
                     See image

                  8481 30 99

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 1(g) to Chapter 90, and by the wording of CN codes 8481, 8481 30 and 8481 30 99.
                  Given its function, physical characteristics and way of operating, the connector is to be considered a check (non-return) valve of subheading 8481 30, as it is used to regulate the flow of liquids by opening or closing the fastening and allowing the liquid to flow through it in only one direction (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 8481).
                  By virtue of Note 1(g) to Chapter 90, classification under heading 9018 as instruments and appliances used in medical sciences is excluded.
                  Furthermore, even when presented in sterile packs, the product is not identifiable as a product of heading 9018.
                  The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 8481 30 99 as a check (non-return) valve of plastics.

   of 18 September 2014
   on the issue of import licences for applications lodged during the first seven days of September 2014 under the tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 for poultrymeat
   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 Article 188 thereof,
   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 533/2007 of 14 May 2007 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas in the poultrymeat sector (3), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 opened tariff quotas for imports of poultrymeat products.

               (2)

               The applications for import licences lodged during the first seven days of September 2014 for the subperiod from 1 October to 31 December 2014 relate, for some quotas, to quantities exceeding those 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,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The quantities for which import licence applications have been lodged under Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 for the subperiod from 1 October to 31 December 2014 shall be multiplied by the allocation coefficients set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on 19 September 2014.

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

   of 2 December 2014
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 180/2014 as regards maximum quantities of processed products which may be exported or dispatched from Spanish and French outermost regions and the third countries concerned
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 228/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 March 2013 laying down specific measures for agriculture in the outermost regions of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 15(1) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 180/2014 (2) provides for the possibility for operators to export, in the context of traditional trade flows or regional trade, and to dispatch, in the context of traditional trade flows, processed products containing raw materials which have benefited from specific supply arrangements as referred to in Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 228/2013. Processors intending to export or dispatch those products in this context may do so within the limits of the annual quantities indicated in Annexes II to V to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 180/2014. The list of third countries to which those products can be exported is set out in Annex VI to that Implementing Regulation.

               (2)

               The French authorities requested the Commission to adapt the list in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 180/2014 with respect to Martinique by changing the maximum quantities of processed products corresponding to codes CN 0403 10, and CN 1101 00 and by adding quantities for products corresponding to codes CN 2202, CN 2105 and CN 2007. For Guadeloupe, they requested the Commission to adapt this list by changing the maximum quantities for products corresponding to codes CN 1101 00 and CN 2309 90, and by adding quantities for products corresponding to codes CN 0402 10 and CN 2007, 2008 and 2009. They also requested to add new third countries for Martinique and Guadeloupe in the list in Annex VI to that Implementing Regulation.

               (3)

               The maximum quantities of processed products which can be exported or dispatched annually from Canary Islands in the context of traditional exports and consignments are set in Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 180/2014 and the quantities which can be exported annually from the Canary Islands in the context of regional trade are set in Annex V to that Implementing Regulation.

               (4)

               Spanish authorities requested the Commission to simplify the lists in Annexes IV and V to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 180/2014 by summing the quantities of processed product corresponding to subheadings related to codes CN 1806 and CN 1905.

               (5)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 180/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1794
   of 5 October 2017
   fixing the interest rates to be used for calculating the costs of financing intervention measures comprising buying-in, storage and disposal for the 2018 EAGF accounting year
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 352/78, (EC) No 165/94, (EC) No 2799/98, (EC) No 814/2000, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 485/2008 (1), and in particular Article 20(1) and (4) thereof,
   After consulting the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 3(1)(a) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 906/2014 (2) provides that expenditure relating to the financing costs incurred by Member States in mobilising funds to buy in products is to be determined in accordance with the methods set out in Annex I to that Regulation.

               (2)

               Point I.1 of Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 906/2014 provides that the financing costs in question are to be calculated on the basis of a uniform interest rate for the Union fixed by the Commission at the beginning of every accounting year. This interest rate corresponds to the average of the 3-month and 12-month forward Euribor rates, recorded in the 6-month reference period to be determined by the Commission, preceding the notification from the Member States provided for in the first paragraph of point I.2 of that Annex, with a weighting of one third and two thirds respectively.

               (3)

               In order to determine the interest rates applicable for a given accounting year, the first paragraph of point I.2 of Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 906/2014 provides that Member States have to notify the Commission, at its request, of the average interest rate they actually bore during the reference period referred to in point I.1 of that Annex, no later than the deadline referred to in that request.

               (4)

               Furthermore, in accordance with the second paragraph of point I.2 of Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 906/2014, in the absence of any notification from a Member State, in the form and by the deadline referred to in the first paragraph of that point, the interest rate borne by that Member State has to be considered to be 0 %. Where a Member State declares that it did not bear any interest costs because it did not have agricultural products in public storage during the reference period, the Commission has to fix that interest rate in accordance with the third paragraph of that point.

               (5)

               In accordance with point I.3 of Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 906/2014, the interest rate determined on the basis of point I.2 of that Annex is to be compared with the uniform interest rate fixed on the basis of point I.1 of that Annex. The interest rate applicable to each Member State has to be the lower of these two interest rates. However, for the purpose of reimbursing Member States expenditure, negative interest rates cannot be taken into account.

               (6)

               The interest rates applicable for the 2018 EAGF accounting year should be fixed taking those various factors into account.

               (7)

               In order to avoid a legal vacuum with regard to the interest rate applicable for calculating the costs of financing intervention measures, it is appropriate that the new rate applies retroactively from 1 October 2017,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   For expenditure relating to the financing costs incurred by Member States in mobilising funds to buy in products chargeable to the 2018 accounting year of the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF), the interest rates provided for in Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 906/2014 in accordance with Article 3(1)(a) of that Regulation shall be fixed at 0 %.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 October 2017.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
      Done at Brussels, 5 October 2017.

   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 Article 52(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission has examined Italy's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Pancetta Piacentina’ registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1263/96 (2), as amended by Regulation (EU) No 1170/2010 (3).

               (3)

               As no statement of opposition under Article 51 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 has been received by the Commission, the amendments to the specification should be approved,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

   (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 692/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 July 2011 concerning European statistics on tourism and repealing Council Directive 95/57/EC (1), and in particular Article 9(2) and (3) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The introduction of an updated classification system is central to the Commission’s ongoing efforts to maintain the relevance of European statistics, by taking into account developments and changes in the area of education.

               (2)

               The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) has revised the version of the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) used hitherto (ISCED 1997) with the objective of ensuring that it is consistent with developments in the policies and structures of education and training.

               (3)

               The need for international comparability of educational statistics requires that the Member States and the institutions of the European Union use classifications of education which are compatible with the revised International Standard Classification of Education ISCED 2011 (ISCED 2011), as adopted by the Unesco Member States at their 36th General Conference in November 2011.

               (4)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1051/2011 (2) should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

   Annex III to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1051/2011 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

   (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 of Article 8 and point 4 of Article 8 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Decision 2007/777/EC of 29 November 2007 laying down the animal and public health conditions and model certificates for imports of certain meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines for human consumption from third countries and repealing Decision 2005/432/EC (2) lays down rules on imports into the Union and the transit and storage in the Union of consignments of meat products and consignments of treated stomachs, bladders and intestines, as defined in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (3).

               (2)

               Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC sets out the list of third countries or parts thereof from which the introduction into the Union of meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines into the Union is authorised, provided that those commodities comply with the treatment referred to in that Part. Where third countries are regionalised for the purposes of inclusion in that list, their regionalised territories are set out in Part 1 of that Annex.

               (3)

               Part 4 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC sets out the treatments referred to in Part 2 of that Annex, assigning a code to each of those treatments. That Part sets out a non-specific treatment ‘A’ and specific treatments ‘B’ to ‘F’ listed in descending order of severity.

               (4)

               Russia is currently listed in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC for introduction into the Union of meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines from domestic bovine animals, farmed cloven-hoofed game, domestic ovine or caprine animals, domestic porcine animals and wild cloven-hoofed game which have undergone the specific treatment ‘C’. Russia is also authorised for imports of meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines from domestic soliped animals which have undergone the specific treatment ‘B’ and of meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines from domestic rabbit and farmed and wild leporidae and certain wild land mammalian game which have undergone a non-specific treatment ‘A’.

               (5)

               In addition, Russia is listed in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC as authorised for transit through the Union of meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines from poultry and farmed feathered game, excluding ratites, which have undergone a non-specific treatment ‘A’.

               (6)

               However, export to the Union of the abovementioned commodities from Russia is currently not possible because no Russian establishments have been authorised and listed in the lists of approved establishments as provided for in Article 12 of 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 (4). Therefore, Russia is only allowed to transit those products through the Union territory as they comply with the animal health import conditions.

               (7)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 of 8 August 2008 laying down a list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which poultry and poultry products may be imported into and transit through the Community and the veterinary certification requirements (5) provides that certain commodities are only to be imported into and transit through the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto. It also lays down the veterinary certification requirements for such commodities.

               (8)

               Russia is currently listed in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 for the import into the Union of egg products and for transit through the Union, under certain conditions, of poultry meat.

               (9)

               Russia has asked the Commission to be authorised for imports into the Union of poultry meat pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 and poultry meat products which have been subjected to a non-specific treatment ‘A’, pursuant to Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC. Russia has also asked to be authorised for imports into the Union of processed meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines of domestic bovine and domestic porcine from the region of Kaliningrad.

               (10)

               On request of Russia inspections were carried out by the Commission in that third country. These inspections demonstrated that the competent veterinary authority of Russia provides appropriate guarantees as regards compliance with Union rules required for imports into the Union of poultry meat and poultry meat products.

               (11)

               It is therefore appropriate to authorise imports of such commodities into the Union from Russia and therefore amend accordingly the entries for that third country in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC and in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008.

               (12)

               A further inspection carried out by the Commission in Russia demonstrated that the competent veterinary authority and the establishments for the processing of bovine and porcine meat products in the region of Kaliningrad provide appropriate guarantees as regards compliance with Union import rules for those commodities.

               (13)

               Given the geographic situation of the region of Kaliningrad, it is appropriate to identify that region as a distinct part of the territory of Russia. Also, in view of the positive outcome of the Commission inspection in that region, it is appropriate to permit the introduction into the Union of bovine and porcine meat products and treated stomachs, bladders and intestines from the region of Kaliningrad.

               (14)

               It is therefore appropriate to list establishments situated in the region of Kaliningrad for the processing of fresh meat from bovine and porcine animals for imports into the Union of meat products containing such meat and which have undergone the required treatment set out in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC for the region of Kaliningrad. The fresh meat in question should originate either from the Union, or from bovine and porcine animals that have been raised and slaughtered in the region of Kaliningrad in Russia and complying with the relevant animal and public health import requirements, or from any other third country authorised for imports of fresh meat into the Union and complying with the relevant Union animal and public health import requirements.

               (15)

               It is also appropriate to reflect in Part 2 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC that from the territory of Russia excluding Kaliningrad it is only allowed the transit through the Union of meat products and not their introduction into the Union.

               (16)

               Russia has asked the Commission to be authorised for imports into the Union of quail eggs. Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 defines quails as poultry, therefore imports of poultry eggs, including quails, should be authorised. Import of eggs of other poultry species covered by that definition should be also authorised.

               (17)

               Russia provided appropriate guarantees as regards compliance with Union import rules for eggs of species other than Gallus gallus, including quail eggs. It is therefore appropriate to amend Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 in order to authorise imports into the Union of such eggs.

               (18)

               Russia has not submitted the Commission salmonella control programme in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), therefore the authorisation of eggs of Gallus gallus should be limited to eggs classed B.

               (19)

               In addition, the entry for Argentina in Part 1 of Annex II to Decision 2007/777/EC refers to Council Decision 79/542/EEC (7). That Decision was repealed by Decision No 477/2010/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (8). The rules laid down in Decision 79/542/EEC are now laid down in Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 of 12 March 2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements (9).

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/614
      of 19 April 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 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 3 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 3 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, 19 April 2016.

               For the Commission,

               On behalf of the President,

         ANNEX

                     Description of the goods

                     Classification
                     (CN code)

                     Reasons

                     (1)

                     (2)

                     (3)

                     An article (so-called ‘hobby greenhouse’), measuring approximately 140 × 140 × 200 cm, comprising a frame made of steel. The frame also contains racks consisting of eight shelves, four on both sides, made of metal wire, measuring approximately 58 × 28 cm. The frame is covered on all sides by a flexible plastic sheeting with a rolling opening in the front measuring approximately 86 × 145 cm. The opening can be closed by a ‘Velcro’ fastening. The structure can be entered by a person. Its purpose is long or short term (for example, on markets) storage of plants.
                     See image (*)

                     7326 90 98

                     Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, and by the wording of CN codes 7326 , 7326 90  and 7326 90 98 .
                     Classification under heading 9403  as ‘other furniture’ is excluded because the article is not to be used for equipping private dwellings, hotels, offices, schools, churches, shops, laboratories and the like, but it is used for storing plants (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to Chapter 94, General, second paragraph, (A), and to heading 9403 , second paragraph).
                     Classification under heading 9406  as a ‘prefabricated building’ is also excluded, as the construction is relatively unstable, with flexible walls. Consequently, it is not suitable for long term outdoor use as it is not considered to be weatherproof.
                     The article is therefore classified according to its constituent material. The essential character of the article is given by the constructive element (metal frame and shelves).
                     It is therefore to be classified under CN code 7326 90 98  as other articles of iron and steel.

   Whereas:

               (1)

               According to Article 61, first paragraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the sugar produced during a marketing year in excess of the quota referred to in Article 56 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed.

               (2)

               Commission Regulation (EU) No 397/2010 of 7 May 2010 fixing the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2010/2011 marketing year (3) has fixed the quantitative limit at 650 000 tonnes in the case of sugar.

               (3)

               The quantities of sugar covered by applications for export licences exceeded that quantitative limit. Therefore Commission Regulation (EU) No 882/2010 of 6 October 2010 fixing the acceptance percentage for the issuing of export licences, rejecting export-licence applications and suspending the lodging of export-licence applications for out-of-quota sugar (4) suspended the lodging of applications for out-of-quota sugar export licences for the period 11 October 2010 to 30 September 2011.

               (4)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2011 of 12 May 2011 amending Regulation (EU) No 397/2010 fixing the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2010/2011 marketing year (5), the quantitative limit for the exports of out-of-quota sugar in respect of marketing year 2010/2011 was increased by 700 000 tonnes.

               (5)

               As the quantitative limit in respect of marketing year 2010/2011 is increased, the lodging of applications should once again be possible as of the first week of July.

               (6)

               Regulation (EU) No 882/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (7)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 838/2012
   of 18 September 2012
   concerning the authorisation of Lactobacillus brevis (DSMZ 21982) 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.

               (2)

               In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of Lactobacillus brevis (DSMZ 21982). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (3)

               The application concerns the authorisation of Lactobacillus brevis (DSMZ 21982) as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’.

               (4)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 6 March 2012 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Lactobacillus brevis (DSMZ 21982) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that the use of the preparation has the potential to improve the production of silage by increasing acetic acid production resulting in an extended aerobic stability of the treated silage. 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 Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (5)

               The assessment of Lactobacillus brevis (DSMZ 21982) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (6)

               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 preparation specified in the Annex belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘silage additives’, 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 4 November 2011
   repealing Regulation (EC) No 601/2008 on protective measures applying to certain fishery products imported from Gabon and intended for human consumption
   (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 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1)(b) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 601/2008 (2) applies to certain fishery products originating in Gabon and intended for human consumption. It provides for laboratory checks on each consignment of such fishery products to ensure compliance with the relevant limit values for heavy metals and sulphites, respectively, that are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 of 19 December 2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs (3) and in European Parliament and Council Directive 95/2/EC of 20 February 1995 on food additives other than colours and sweeteners (4). These protective measures were taken after a Community inspection in 2007 revealed significant shortcomings in Gabon’s monitoring system.

               (2)

               The Food and Veterinary Office carried out a follow-up inspection in Gabon in July 2010 to evaluate the monitoring system in place governing the production of fishery products intended for export to the Union. The inspection team observed improvements in legislation, official control procedures and laboratory performance. A number of recommendations were made that were subsequently addressed by Gabon. In addition, pre-export controls carried out in Gabon now provide appropriate guarantees to allow imports of fishery products, intended for human consumption, into the Union.

               (3)

               Since the checks provided for in Regulation (EC) No 601/2008 are no longer necessary that Regulation should be repealed.

               (4)

               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
   Regulation (EC) No 601/2008 is repealed.
   Article 2
