         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 614/2014
   of 6 June 2014
   amending Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 as regards the application of certain support measures in the wine sector
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular points (a), (b), (c), (e) and (f) of Article 54 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 has repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (2) and contains, in Section 4 of Chapter II of Title I of Part II, rules on national support programmes in the wine sector. While most of the rules laid down in that Section ensure the continuation of the rules applicable to the national support programmes in the wine sector under Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, some new rules are also included. Those rules introduce new elements, namely a sub-measure of the measure of promotion, concerning promotion of wine in Member States, a measure of innovation in the wine sector as well as an extension of the measure on restructuring and conversion of vineyards to cover replanting of vineyards following mandatory grubbing-up for health or phytosanitary reasons. Rules for the implementation of those elements should be laid down.

               (2)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 (3) lays down rules as regards national support programmes in the wine sector provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. In order to implement the new rules laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the appropriate provisions should be introduced in Regulation (EC) No 555/2008.

               (3)

               Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 should allow Member States to modify their operational programmes and align them with the new elements introduced by Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. For this purpose, Member States should be allowed to modify their operational programmes an additional time after 30 June 2014, taking into consideration the dates of adoption of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 612/2014 (4) and of this Regulation.

               (4)

               Rules should be laid down concerning the selection of information projects and regarding the preference to be granted, when selecting the projects on the internal market. The selection procedure for promotion of wines in the Member States should be coherent with the procedure for promotion of wines on third-country markets as laid down in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 555/2008, but it should also take into account the particular objectives and geographical scope of this sub-measure.

               (5)

               Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 provides for the financial management of the investments measure. Those rules should also apply to the measure of innovation in the wine sector. In particular, to allow for a better use of the funds, it should be possible to pay the support after the execution of only certain of the operations foreseen in the application concerned while making sure that all the remaining operations will be completed. Moreover, it is appropriate to fix the maximum ceiling for advance payments similar to the one established for investments.

               (6)

               Article 37b of Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 requests that the beneficiaries provide information related to the advances granted in accordance with certain provisions of that Regulation. This obligation should also apply to the measure of innovation introduced by Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

               (7)

               Annexes I to VIII, Annex VIIIa and VIIIc to Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 set out the forms to be filled in by the Member States concerning the national support programmes, in particular, for the purposes of the submission of the support programmes, their revision and the corresponding financial planning as well as for the submission of reports and evaluations. Those Annexes should be amended in order to reflect the introduction, in Section 4 of Chapter II of Title I of Part II of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, of new provisions concerning the content, evaluation, cost and control.

               (8)

               Regulation (EC) No 555/2008 should be amended accordingly.

               (9)

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

               1.   Support shall be paid once it is ascertained that either a single operation or all the operations covered by the support application, according to the choice made by the Member State for the management of the measure, have been implemented and controlled on the spot.
               Where support is normally payable only after implementation of all the operations, by way of derogation from the first subparagraph, support shall be paid for single operations implemented if the remaining operations could not be carried out due to force majeure or exceptional circumstances as referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council (6).

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1088
   of 5 July 2016
   approving copper flakes (coated with aliphatic acid) as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 21
   (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 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014 (2) establishes a list of existing active substances to be evaluated for their possible approval for use in biocidal products. That list includes copper, to be named copper flakes (coated with aliphatic acid) as a result of its evaluation.

               (2)

               Copper flakes (coated with aliphatic acid) has been evaluated for use in products of product-type 21, antifouling products, as described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (3)

               France was designated as evaluating competent authority and submitted the assessment report together with its recommendations on 31 October 2014.

               (4)

               In accordance with Article 7(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the opinion of the European Chemicals Agency was formulated on 9 December 2015 by the Biocidal Products Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

               (5)

               According to that opinion, biocidal products of product-type 21 and containing copper flakes (coated with aliphatic acid) may be expected to satisfy the criteria of Article 19(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, provided that certain specifications and conditions concerning their use are complied with.

               (6)

               The acceptability of the risks related to the use of antifouling products, as well as the suitability of the proposed risk mitigation measures, should however be further confirmed. In order to facilitate, at the time of the renewal of the approvals of existing antifouling active substances, the review and comparison of the risks and benefits of those substances as well as of the risk mitigation measures applied, the expiry date of approval of all those substances should be the same.

               (7)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve copper flakes (coated with aliphatic acid) for use in biocidal products of product-type 21, subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.

               (8)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements.

               (9)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Copper flakes (coated with aliphatic acid) is approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 21, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the 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.

                              Labels and, where provided, safety data sheets of products authorised shall indicate that application, maintenance and repair activities shall be conducted within a contained area, on an impermeable hard standing with bunding or on soil covered with an impermeable material to prevent losses and minimise emissions to the environment, and that any losses or waste containing copper flakes (coated with aliphatic acid) shall be collected for reuse or disposal.

                              (4)

                              For products that may lead to residues in food or feed, the need to set new or to amend existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) shall be verified, and any appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to ensure that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded.

   Whereas:

               (1)

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

               Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 states that the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.

               (2)

               Article 136(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that, in order to calculate the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative cif import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products in question.

               (3)

               Under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010, the price to be used for the calculation of the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is the daily cif representative import price determined as specified in Article 5 of that Regulation.

               (4)

               Import duties should be fixed for the period from 1 November 2012 and should apply until new import duties are fixed and enter into force.

               (5)

               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
   From 1 November 2012, the import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information contained in Annex II.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1936
   of 4 November 2016
   approving calcium oxide (burnt lime) as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products of product-types 2 and 3
   (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 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014 (2) establishes a list of existing active substances to be evaluated for their possible approval for use in biocidal products. That list includes calcium oxide (burnt lime).

               (2)

               Calcium oxide (burnt lime) has been evaluated in accordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) for use in products of product-type 2, disinfectants and algaecides not intended for direct application to humans or animals, and product-type 3, veterinary hygiene, as described in Annex V to that Directive, which correspond to product-types 2 and 3 respectively, as described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (3)

               The United Kingdom was designated as evaluating competent authority and submitted the assessment reports together with its recommendations on 19 September 2011.

               (4)

               In accordance with Article 7(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the opinions of the European Chemicals Agency were formulated on 14 April 2016 by the Biocidal Products Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

               (5)

               According to those opinions, biocidal products of product-types 2 and 3 and containing calcium oxide (burnt lime) may be expected to satisfy the conditions of Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC, provided that certain specifications and conditions concerning their use are complied with.

               (6)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve calcium oxide (burnt lime) for use in biocidal products of product-types 2 and 3, subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.

               (7)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements.

               (8)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Calcium oxide (burnt lime) is approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-types 2 and 3, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the 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.
