      COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 164/2014
   of 20 February 2014
   amending Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 as regards representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors
   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 183(b) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 (2) lays down detailed rules for implementing the system of additional import duties and fixes representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin.

               (2)

               Regular monitoring of the data used to determine representative prices for poultrymeat and egg products and for egg albumin shows that the representative import prices for certain products should be amended to take account of variations in price according to origin.

               (3)

               Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 should be amended accordingly.

               (4)

               Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 388/2014
   of 10 April 2014
   amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
   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)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 established a nomenclature of goods, hereinafter referred to as the Combined Nomenclature, which is set out in Annex I to that Regulation.

               (2)

               The classification of frozen and salted fillets of cod (Gadus morhua, Gadus ogac, Gadus macrocephalus) under subheadings 0304 71 10 and 0304 71 90 (frozen fillets) or under subheadings 0305 32 11 and 0305 32 19 (salted fillets) depends to a large extent on the salt content in the product.

               (3)

               Salted cod, commonly known as ‘salt cod’ or ‘clipfish’, is a traditional product with a total salt content by weight of 12 % or more which is fit for human consumption without further industrial processing. In that case, the salt is intended to penetrate the fish meat to give it a long shelf life.

               (4)

               Cod fillets that have been only lightly salted (usually of a total salt content by weight of around 2 % but in any case less than 12 %) present different objective characteristics in so far as the actual and lasting preservation depends essentially upon an additional external process, such as freezing.

               (5)

               In order to ensure a consistent application of the Combined Nomenclature, the classification of frozen and salted cod fillets under subheadings 0304 71 10 and 0304 71 90 or subheadings 0305 32 11 and 0305 32 19 should therefore depend on the process which ensures the actual preservation of the product. This is consistent with the case law of the Court of Justice which used the same criterion for the classification of slightly dried and slightly smoked meat (2).

               (6)

               Cod that has been only lightly salted should therefore be classified under subheadings 0304 71 10 and 0304 71 90 in so far as freezing is necessary to avoid degeneration of the product. Where, on the contrary, if it is the salt that ensures the preservation of the product, the cod fillets should be classified under subheadings 0305 32 11 and 0305 32 19.

               (7)

               An Additional note should therefore be inserted in Chapter 3 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature to ensure its uniform interpretation throughout the Union.

               (8)

               Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (9)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   In Chapter 3 of Part Two of the Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 the following Additional note 1 is inserted:

                  ‘1.

                  For the purposes of subheadings 0305 32 11 and 0305 32 19, cod fillets (Gadus morhua, Gadus ogac, Gadus macrocephalus) having a total salt content by weight of 12 % or more which are fit for human consumption without further industrial processing, are considered to be salted fish.
                  However, frozen cod fillets which have a total salt content by weight of less than 12 % are to be classified under subheadings 0304 71 10 and 0304 71 90 in so far as the actual and lasting preservation depends essentially upon freezing.’

   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.

title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1335/2013 of 13 December 2013 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 on marketing standards for olive oil

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1335/2013
   of 13 December 2013
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 on marketing standards for olive oil
   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 113(1)(a) and point (a) of the first paragraph of Article 121 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 (2) lays down specific standards for retail-stage marketing of olive oils and olive-residue oils.

               (2)

               Producers, traders and consumers should be provided with marketing standards for olive oils which guarantee product quality and combat fraud effectively. To that end, specific provisions should be laid down to supplement Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) and to improve the effective monitoring of marketing standards.

               (3)

               Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated that light and heat adversely affect the quality of olive oils. Specific storage conditions should therefore be clearly indicated on the label to ensure that the consumer is well-informed about the best conditions for preservation.

               (4)

               In order to help the consumer to select products, it is crucial that the mandatory particulars indicated on the label are easily readable. Rules should therefore be laid down on readability and the concentration of mandatory information within the main field of vision.

               (5)

               In order to enable the consumer to be sure that the product is fresh, the optional marking of the harvest year should only appear on the label when 100 % of the packaging contents come from that harvest.

               (6)

               In the interests of simplification, it should be laid down that the labelling of food products preserved exclusively in olive oil is no longer required to state the percentage of oil added in relation to the total net weight of the foodstuff.

               (7)

               In order to ensure consistency between Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 (4) and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012, particularly as regards the tolerance for the result of checks, the relevant provision of that Implementing Regulation should be amended accordingly.

               (8)

               Member States must carry out checks to ensure that the markings on the labels are correct and to ensure compliance with this Regulation. To that end, checks on the conformity of the product’s sale name with the contents of the container should be reinforced and further harmonised on the basis of risk analysis, as should corresponding penalties. This approach should also help to combat fraud by introducing minimum control requirements for all Member States and by standardising the reports to be sent to the Commission.

               (9)

               Member States should lay down penalties at national level. Those penalties should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.

               (10)

               Products manufactured and labelled in the Union or imported into the Union before the application of this Regulation but in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 should be covered by a transitional period so that operators can use up their existing stock of containers and sell products which are already packaged.

               (11)

               The Commission has developed an information system which makes it possible to manage documents and procedures electronically within the framework of its internal operation and in its relations with the authorities involved in the common agricultural policy. That system is regarded as fulfilling the communication requirements of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 (5).

               (12)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (13)

               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:
   Article 1
   Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 is amended as follows:

               (1)

               the following Articles 4a and 4b shall be inserted:
               ‘Article 4a
               Information on the special preservation conditions for oils subject to Article 1(1), namely that they must be stored away from light and heat, shall appear on their containers or on labels attached to them.
               Article 4b
               The mandatory particulars described in the first paragraph of Article 3 and, where applicable, those described in the first subparagraph of Article 4(1), shall be grouped together within the principal field of vision, as defined by Article 2(2)(l) of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), either on the same label or on several labels attached to the same container, or directly on the same container. Those mandatory particulars must each be shown in full and in a homogeneous body of text.

               (2)

               the following point (e) shall be added to the first paragraph of Article 5:

                           ‘(e)

                           Regarding oils subject to point 1(a) and (b) of Annex XVI to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the harvesting year may be shown only if 100 % of the contents of the container come from that harvest.’;

               (3)

               the first subparagraph of Article 6(2) shall be replaced by the following:
               ‘2.   With the exception of solid foodstuffs preserved exclusively in olive oil, in particular the products referred to in Council Regulations (EEC) No 1536/92 (7) and (EEC) No 2136/89 (8), where the presence of oils as referred to in Article 1(1) of this Regulation in a foodstuff, other than those referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, is stated on the labelling elsewhere than in the list of ingredients, using words, images or graphics, the trade description of the foodstuff shall be directly followed by the percentage of olive oil as referred to in Article 1(1) of this Regulation relative to the total net weight of the foodstuff.

               (4)

               in Article 7, the second paragraph shall be deleted;

               (5)

               the following Article 8a shall be inserted:
               ‘Article 8a
               Each Member State shall verify the accuracy of the labelling, in particular the conformity of the trade name of the product with the contents of the container, on the basis of risk analysis as referred to in Article 2a of Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91. If any irregularity is detected and the manufacturer, packager or seller shown on the label is located in another Member State, the control body of the Member State concerned shall ask for a verification pursuant to Article 8(2).’;

               (6)

               the first subparagraph of Article 9(1) shall be replaced by the following:
               ‘1.   Without prejudice to the penalties laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91, Member States shall implement effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties at national level if this Regulation is breached.’;

               (7)

               Article 10 shall be replaced by the following:
               ‘Article 10
               The Member States concerned shall forward to the Commission, no later than 31 May each year, a report containing the following information for the previous year:

                           (a)

                           requests for verifications received in accordance with Article 8(2);

                           (b)

                           (c)

                           verifications started in accordance with Article 8a using the model set out in Annex XXI to Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91;

                           (d)

                     The report shall present this information according to the calendar year in which the verifications were started and by category of infringement. Where applicable, it shall point out any specific difficulties encountered and propose improvements to controls.’;

               (8)

               the following Article 10a shall be inserted:
               ‘Article 10a
               The notifications referred to in this Regulation shall be made in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 (9).

         Article 2
   Products which comply with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 and which have been manufactured and labelled in the Union or imported into the Union and put into free circulation before 13 December 2014 may be marketed until all stocks are used up.

   This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 13 December 2014. However, as regards Article 10 point (c) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012, Article 1(7) of this Regulation shall apply from 1 January 2016.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1617
   of 8 September 2016
   derogating in respect of claim year 2016 from the third subparagraph of Article 75(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the level of advance payments for direct payments and area-related and animal-related rural development measures and from the first subparagraph of Article 75(2) of that Regulation as regards direct payments
   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 75(3) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 75(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, from 16 October to 30 November Member States may pay advances of up to 50 % for direct payments under Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) and up to 75 % for area-related and animal-related support measures under Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council (3).

               (2)

               Article 75(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 provides that payments referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, including advances for direct payments, shall not be made before the administrative and on-the-spot checks to be carried out pursuant to Article 74 of that Regulation have been finalised. However, as regards area-related and animal-related support measures under rural development, Article 75(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 allows advances to be paid after the administrative checks pursuant to Article 59(1) of that Regulation have been finalised.

               (3)

               The ongoing severity of the economic situation in certain agricultural sectors, and particularly in the dairy market, still generates serious financial difficulties and cash-flow problems for beneficiaries.

               (4)

               In addition, the administrative difficulties encountered in the first year of implementation of the new legal framework for the direct payments schemes and rural development measures continue to exist in some Member States and have delayed the execution of payments to the beneficiaries for claim year 2015 in some Member States.

               (5)

               In a view of the exceptional nature of those combined circumstances and the resulting financial difficulties for beneficiaries, it is necessary to alleviate those difficulties by derogating from the third subparagraph of Article 75(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 in order to allow Member States to pay a higher level of advances to beneficiaries for claim year 2016.

               (6)

               Moreover, due to the new requirements linked to the preparation of the application process for claim year 2016, the administration of the single application, aid applications and payment claims and applications for allocation of payment entitlements or the increase of the value of payment entitlements under the basic payment scheme has been delayed. As a consequence, the necessary checks are likely to be completed later than usual.

               (7)

               It is therefore necessary to derogate from the first subparagraph of Article 75(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 in order to allow advances for direct payments to be made after the administrative checks as specified in Articles 28 and 29 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014 (4) are completed. It is however imperative that such a derogation will not impede the sound financial management and the requirement of a sufficient level of assurance. Accordingly, Member States making use of that derogation are responsible for taking all necessary measures to ensure that overpayments are avoided and that any undue amounts are quickly and actually recovered. Moreover, the use of that derogation should be covered by the management declaration referred to in Article 7(3)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 for financial year 2017.

               (8)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Agricultural Funds, the Committee for Direct Payments and the Rural Development Committee,

   of 5 July 2017
   approving non-minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Tomme de Savoie (PGI))
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular 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 France's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Tomme de Savoie’ registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 (2).

               (2)

               By letter of 23 November 2015, the French authorities notified the Commission that transitional periods under Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, ending on 31 December 2017 and 31 October 2025, had been granted to operators that are established on their territory and meet the conditions of that Article in accordance with the Order of 29 October 2015 on the protected geographical indication ‘Tomme de Savoie’ published on 7 November 2015 in the Official Journal of the French Republic. During the national objection procedure, one operator lodged an objection concerning the 50 % minimum share of coarse green fodder in the dairy cows' basic ration for at least 150 days per year. Furthermore, four operators lodged an objection concerning the farmers' 75 % minimum share of dairy cows from the Abondance, Montbéliarde or Tarentaise breeds on their farms. The reason given was that time was needed for their holdings to be adapted. Those operators have legally marketed ‘Tomme de Savoie’ continuously for at least the 5 years prior to lodging the application. The transitional period ending 31 December 2017 applies to Le Seysselan GAEC, Vallod, 74910 SEYSSEL and the transitional period ending 31 October 2025 applies to La Ferme de Combette EARL, Les Airelles GAEC, La Ferme des 3 Quartiers EARL and La Ferme de la Ville GAEC.

               (3)

               Since the amendments in question are not minor within the meaning of Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission published the amendment application in the Official Journal of the European Union as required by Article 50(2)(a) of that Regulation (3).

               (4)

               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:
   Article 1
   The amendments to the specification published in the Official Journal of the European Union regarding the name ‘Tomme de Savoie’ (PGI) are hereby approved.
   Article 2
   The protection provided under Article 1 is subject to the transitional period granted by France pursuant to the Order of 29 October 2015 on the protected geographical indication ‘Tomme de Savoie’, published on 7 November 2015 in the Official Journal of the French Republic under Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, to operators meeting the conditions of that Article.
   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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/838
   of 17 May 2017
   amending Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 as regards feed for certain organic aquaculture animals
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (1), and in particular Articles 15(2) and 16(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 establishes basic requirements for the organic production of aquaculture animals, including requirements with regard to feed. Detailed rules for implementing those requirements are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (2).

               (2)

               Article 15(1)(d)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 requires that fish and crustaceans are fed with feed that meets the animal's nutritional requirements at the various stages of its development.

               (3)

               Article 25l of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 sets out specific rules on feed for certain aquaculture animals referred to in Sections 6, 7 and 9 of Annex XIIIa to that Regulation. The rules set out in that Article aim to prioritise naturally available feed, where it is available.

               (4)

               Under Article 25l(1) of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008, the animals concerned are to be fed with feed naturally available in ponds and lakes. Article 25l(2) of that Regulation permits the use of organic feed of plant origin or seaweed where natural feed resources are not available in sufficient quantities. Article 25l(3)(a) and (b) of that Regulation establish maximum percentages of fishmeal and fish oil that can be included in the feed ration of siamese catfish and shrimps where naturally available feed is supplemented.

               (5)

               Naturally occurring feed is limited or non-existent in the hatchery stage. Member States have indicated to the Commission that the rules on feeding penaeid shrimps, in particular Tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon), set out in Article 25l(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008, would lead to malnutrition and increased mortality if applied in the juvenile stages in a hatchery environment.

               (6)

               Article 25l(1) of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 requires the animals concerned to be fed with feed naturally available in ponds and lakes. The rule set out in that Article should concern only the grow-out stages where the animals are kept in ponds and lakes rather than hatchery environments where naturally available feed is insufficient. This is especially pertinent from 31 December 2016, since when, in accordance with Article 25e(3) of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008, juvenile aquaculture animals subject to non-organic management conditions can no longer be brought into an organic holding. Prior to this date, it was permitted to bring a proportion of non-organic juvenile animals into an organic holding, following a hatchery stage under non-organic management.

               (7)

               Furthermore, the expert group for technical advice on organic production (‘EGTOP’), set up by Commission Decision 2009/427/EC (3), has confirmed that the specific rules contained in Article 25l(3)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 are suitable only for the grow-out stages (4). EGTOP considers that the limitations on fishmeal and fish oil set out in that Article do not allow the animal's nutritional requirements to be met during the early life stages while in a hatchery environment.

               (8)

               The Commission has identified the need to amend the rules on feeds for certain aquaculture animals by clarifying that these rules apply only to the grow-out stages. In arriving at this conclusion the Commission has taken into account the requirement to meet the animal's nutritional needs at the various stages of its development as set out in Article 15(1)(d)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, the aim of Article 25l of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 to prioritise naturally available feed where it is available, and the opinion of EGTOP.

               (9)

               Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (10)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on organic production,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Article 25l, paragraph 1, of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 is replaced by the following:

      ‘1.   In the grow-out stages, aquaculture animals as referred to in Annex XIIIa, Section 6, Section 7 and Section 9 shall be fed with feed naturally available in ponds and lakes.’

   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.

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

   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 of 6 May 1996 introducing additional conditions for year-to-year management of TACs and quotas (1), and in particular Article 4(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               According to Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 847/96, Member States may ask the Commission, before 31 October of the year of application of a fishing quota allocated to them, to withhold a maximum of 10 % of that quota to be transferred to the following year. The Commission is to add to the relevant quota the quantity withheld.

               (2)

               TAC and Member State quotas for the stock of anchovy in the Bay of Biscay (ICES subarea VIII) are set for an annual management season running from 1 July to 30 June of the following year.

               (3)

               Council Regulation (EU) No 694/2012 of 27 July 2012 establishing the fishing opportunities for anchovy in the Bay of Biscay for the 2012/13 fishing season (2) fixes the fishing quotas for anchovy in the Bay of Biscay (ICES subarea VIII) for the period starting on the 1 July 2012 and ending on the 30 June 2013.

               (4)

               (6)

               At the end of fishing season 2012/13, France and Spain reported catches of anchovy in the Bay of Biscay for a respective total amount of 4 805,1 tonnes and 11 275,2 tonnes.

               (7)

               Pursuant to Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 847/96, France and Spain have both requested that part of their anchovy’s quota in the Bay of Biscay for their fishing season 2012/13 be withheld and transferred to the following fishing season.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 336/2014
   of 28 March 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.

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A set put up for retail sale (so-called ‘wireless rear-view camera system’) for installation in motor vehicles comprising the following components:

                              —

                              a day and night television camera with a CMOS sensor and a 2,4 mm lens,

                              —

                              a wireless video signal transmitter with an antenna,

                              —

                              a 2,4 GHz wireless receiver for video signals with a colour liquid crystal display (LCD) with a diagonal measurement of the screen of 17,8 cm (7 inches) and a resolution of 480 × 240 pixels. It is equipped with function buttons and an AV interface for connecting external audio or video apparatus.

                        The television camera does not capture sound.
                  The product is designed for use in, for example, cars, coaches or trailers, and allows the driver to see what is behind.

                  8528 72 40

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528, 8528 72 and 8528 72 40.
                  The items are considered goods put up as a set for retail sale within the meaning of rule 3(b) as the different components are put up together to meet a particular need or to carry out a specific activity.
                  The set consists of a transmission apparatus for television (subheading 8525 50), a television camera (subheading 8525 80) and a reception apparatus for television (subheading 8528 72).

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 207/2013
   of 11 March 2013
   derogating from Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 as regards the deadline for reviewing the decision on specific support for 2013 and from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 as regards the notification of such a review
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (1), and in particular Article 142(c) and (r) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 68(8) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, by 1 September 2012, Member States could review the decision referred to in Article 69(1) of that Regulation and decide, with effect from 2013, to modify the amounts for the funding of the specific support provided for in Article 68(1) or put an end to the application of that support.

               (2)

               As a result of the continuous increase of feed prices due to adverse climatic conditions having affected some of the most important Union and world suppliers of grains in 2012, Member States are facing an aggravation of the economic situation of agricultural holdings, particularly in the dairy, beef and veal and sheep and goat sectors. Those sectors were, at the end of that year, encountering severe financial difficulties due to the significant share of feed prices in their production costs. An emergency situation has ensued where there exists a real risk of a slowing or a suspension of the activity leading eventually to a decrease or an abandonment of production in those sectors. The current situation could not have been foreseen at the time when decisions for the year 2013 could have been reviewed by Member States in accordance with Article 68(8) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.

               (3)

               The specific support provided for in Article 68(1) appears to be a suitable tool for addressing such a situation by granting support to holdings the viability of which is threatened. In order to address the aggravation of the situation of farmers in the dairy, beef and veal and sheep and goat sectors and to avoid serious practical and specific problems which may consist in reconversion towards other agricultural activities or transfer of holdings, Member States should be allowed to review the decisions taken for the year 2013 within a new time period.

               (4)

               For the same reasons, the deadline laid down in Article 50(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009 of 29 October 2009 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of the single payment scheme provided for in Title III of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (2) for notification of such a review to the Commission should be extended.

               (5)

               It is therefore appropriate to derogate from Regulations (EC) No 73/2009 and (EC) No 1120/2009.

               (6)

               As the derogations concern the year 2013, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

               (7)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Derogation from Regulation (EC) No 73/2009
   By way of derogation from Article 68(8) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, Member States may, by 22 March 2013, review the decision taken pursuant to Article 69(1) of that Regulation as regards the specific support to be granted to the dairy, beef and veal and/or sheep and goat sectors with effect from the year 2013.
   Article 2
   Derogation from Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009
   By way of derogation from the first subparagraph of Article 50(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1120/2009, Member States shall inform the Commission by 22 March 2013 of the specific support measures they intend to apply in the dairy, beef and veal and/or sheep and goat sectors.
   Article 3
   Entry into force
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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 3 November 2011
   amending Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as regards the entry for Paraguay in the list of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the Union of certain fresh meat
   (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 and the first subparagraph of point 1 of Article 8 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               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 (2) lays down the veterinary certification requirements for the introduction into the Union of certain consignments of fresh meat of ungulates and equidae intended for human consumption. It provides that such consignments are only to be introduced if they come from third countries, territories or parts thereof listed in Part 1 of Annex II to that Regulation.

               (2)

               On 19 September 2011, Paraguay notified an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). That outbreak is located in the San Pedro district and was confirmed on 18 September 2011 by laboratory analysis (ELISA and EITB).

               (3)

               Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 specifies that imports from Paraguay of fresh meat of domestic bovine animals are authorised.

               (4)

               Due to the risk of the introduction of foot-and-mouth disease into the Union linked with the import of fresh bovine meat from Paraguay, and in the absence of guarantees allowing for regionalisation of Paraguay, such imports should no longer be authorised. The entry for Paraguay in Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 should be amended accordingly.

               (5)

               Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (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
   In Part 1 of Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010, the entry for Paraguay is replaced by the following:

   amending Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 as regards representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin
   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 143 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 614/2009 of 7 July 2009 on the common system of trade for ovalbumin and lactalbumin (2), and in particular Article 3(4) thereof,
   Whereas:

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 (3) lays down detailed rules for implementing the system of additional import duties and fixes representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin.

               (2)

               Regular monitoring of the data used to determine representative prices for poultrymeat and egg products and for egg albumin shows that the representative import prices for certain products should be amended to take account of variations in price according to origin.

               (3)

               Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 should be amended accordingly.

               (4)

               Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.
