         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 875/2014
   of 8 August 2014
   concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (2)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.

               (3)

               Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.

               (4)

               It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at three months.

               (5)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
   Article 2
   Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th 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.

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  An article (so-called ‘LED tile’) in an aluminium housing with dimensions of approximately 40 × 40 × 7 cm, including the following components:

                              —

                              light emitting diodes (LED) mounted on a printed circuit board with a pixel density of 72 × 72 and a brightness of 2 000 cd/m2,

                              —

                              connectors for the power supply (in and out),

                              —

                              connectors for the data input (in and out),

                              —

                              brackets and holes for mounting several tiles together.

                        The article is presented for use in a modular LED video wall. It does not include a video processor.
                  The LED tile, whether or not connected to other tiles, cannot display video images directly originating from a video source. It can only display signals originating from a dedicated video processor (so-called ‘digitiser’), which processes the signals and divides them over the total number of tiles in the LED video wall.
                  The tile, when connected to the video processor, has the capability to display images in a large number (281 trillion) of colours.
                  See images (1)

                  8529 90 92

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 2(b) to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8529, 8529 90 and 8529 90 92.
                  Given its objective characteristics, such as the presence of the mounting brackets, the connectors and the capacity to display images in a large number of colours, the LED tile is intended to be connected to other tiles and a dedicated external video processor in a LED video wall of subheading 8528 59.
                  The original video signal is processed and transferred by the video processor to the LED video wall. The video processor divides the complete video signal over the total number of tiles. When one tile is missing or broken the video signal is not completely displayed by the video wall. Each individual tile is therefore considered an essential part for the operation of the LED video wall as a whole.
                  Classification by application of note 2(a) to Section XVI is excluded as the LED tile, whether or not connected to other tiles, can only function in combination with the video processor. Consequently classification under heading 8528 as a monitor or under heading 8531 as a visual signalling apparatus is excluded.
                  The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 8529 90 92 as other parts for apparatus of heading 8528.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1061
   of 2 July 2015
   concerning the authorisation of ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, sodium calcium ascorbyl phosphate, sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate as feed additives for all animal species
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

               (2)

               Ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, sodium calcium ascorbyl phosphate, sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate were authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as feed additives for all animal species. Those 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, two applications were submitted for the re-evaluation of ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate and sodium calcium ascorbyl phosphate as feed additives for all animal species and, in accordance with Article 7 of that Regulation, for a new use in water for drinking for ascorbic acid. The applicants requested these additives to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’. These applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (4)

               In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate as feed additives for all animal species. The applicant requested these additives to be classified in the additive category ‘technological additives’. This application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (5)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinions of 30 January 2013 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use in feed, ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, sodium calcium ascorbyl phosphate, sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate do not have adverse effects on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority also concluded that ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate and sodium calcium ascorbyl phosphate are regarded as effective sources of vitamin C and that since ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate are authorised for use as antioxidants in food and their function in feed is essentially the same as that in food, no further demonstration of efficacy is necessary.

               (6)

               The Authority further concluded that no safety concerns would arise for users. 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 and in water for ascorbic acid, submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (7)

               The assessment of ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, sodium calcium ascorbyl phosphate, sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate 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)

               Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.

               (9)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
