         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1366/2013
   of 18 December 2013
   on the derogations from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other, that apply within quotas for certain products from Guatemala
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Decision 2012/734/EU of 25 June 2012 on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, of the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other, and the provisional application of Part IV thereof concerning trade matters (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               By Decision 2012/734/EU, the Council authorised the signing, on behalf of the Union, of the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’). Pursuant to Decision 2012/734/EU, the Agreement is to be applied on a provisional basis, pending the completion of the procedures for its conclusion.

               (2)

               Annex II to the Agreement concerns the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation. For a number of products, Appendix 2A to that Annex provides for the possibility of derogations from the rules of origin set out in Appendix 2 to Annex II in the framework of annual quotas. As the Union has decided to use that possibility, it is necessary to provide the conditions for the application of those derogations for imports from Guatemala.

               (3)

               The quotas set out in Appendix 2A to Annex II should be managed on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (2).

               (4)

               Entitlement to benefit from the tariff concessions should be subject to the presentation of the relevant proof of origin to the customs authorities, as provided for in the Agreement.

               (5)

               Since the Agreement applies on a provisional basis as of 1 December 2013, this Regulation should apply from the same date.

               (6)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   The rules of origin set out in Appendix 2A to Annex II to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’), shall apply to the products listed in Annex to this Regulation.
   2.   The rules of origin referred to in paragraph 1 shall apply by derogation from the rules of origin set out in Appendix 2 to Annex II to the Agreement, within the quotas set out in Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   To benefit from the derogation set out in Article 1, the products shall be accompanied by a proof of origin as set out in Annex II to the Agreement.
   Article 3
   The quotas set out in Annex shall be managed in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
   Article 4
   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 December 2013.

      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 Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
   Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The maximum residue limit (‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry should be established in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009.

               (2)

               Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 of 22 December 2009 on pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding maximum residue limits in foodstuffs of animal origin (2).

               (3)

               Sodium salicylate is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance for bovine and porcine species, excluding animals producing milk for human consumption, for all food-producing species except fin fish species, for topical use only, and for turkey, applicable to muscle, skin and fat, liver and kidney, excluding animals producing eggs for human consumption. The provisional MRL for that substance set out for turkey expires on 1 July 2015.

               (4)

               Additional data were provided and assessed leading the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use to recommend that the provisional MRLs for sodium salicylate for turkey should be set as definitive.

               (5)

               The entry for sodium salicylate in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/59
      of 14 December 2016
      concerning the authorisation of 1,1-dimethoxy-2-phenylethane, phenethyl formate, phenethyl octanoate, phenethyl isobutyrate, phenethyl 2-methyl-butyrate and phenethyl benzoate 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)

                  1,1-Dimethoxy-2-phenylethane, phenethyl formate, phenethyl octanoate, phenethyl isobutyrate, phenethyl 2-methyl-butyrate and phenethyl benzoate (‘the substances concerned’) were authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as feeds 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, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of the substances concerned as feed additives for all animal species. The applicant requested those additives to be classified in the additive category ‘sensory additives’. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                  (4)

                  The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 7 March 2012 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use in feed, the substances concerned do not have adverse effects on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority further concluded that the function of the substances concerned in feed is similar to that on food. The Authority has already concluded that for food those substances are efficacious, as they increase the food smell or palatability. Therefore, that conclusion can be extrapolated for feed. As the use of the substances concerned in water for drinking is difficult to control when used simultaneously with feed such use should be excluded. However, those substances can be used within compound feeds which are subsequently administered via water.

                  (5)

                  Restrictions and conditions should be provided for to allow better control. Since safety reasons do not require the setting of a maximum content and taking into account the re-evaluation performed by the Authority, recommended contents should be indicated on the label of the additive. Where such contents are exceeded, certain information should be indicated on the label of premixtures, compound feeds and feed materials.

                  (6)

                  The Authority concluded that the substances concerned are considered as irritant to eyes and respiratory tract, skin sensitisers and harmful if swallowed. Consequently, appropriate protective measures should be taken. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                  (7)

                  The assessment of the substances concerned shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of those 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 for the substances concerned, 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
      Authorisation
      The substances specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘sensory additives’ and to the functional group ‘flavouring compounds’, are authorised as feed additives in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
      Article 2

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 311/2011
   of 31 March 2011
   replacing Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 of 25 April 2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               As a result of the United States’ failure to bring the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) in compliance with its obligations under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) agreements, Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 imposed a 15 % ad valorem additional customs duty on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America as from 1 May 2005. In conformity with the WTO authorisation to suspend the application of concessions to the United States, the Commission shall adjust the level of suspension annually to the level of nullification or impairment caused by the CDSOA to the Community at that time.

               (2)

               The CDSOA disbursements for the most recent year for which data are available relate to the distribution of anti-dumping and countervailing duties collected during the Fiscal Year 2010 (1 October 2009-30 September 2010). On the basis of the data published by the United States’ Customs and Border Protection, the level of nullification or impairment caused to the European Union is calculated at USD 9,96 million.

               (3)

               Since the level of nullification or impairment and consequently of suspension has decreased, the 19 products of Annex II which were added in 2010 to the list in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 should be removed first from the list in Annex I to that Regulation. Eleven products of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 should then be withdrawn from Annex I to that Regulation following the order of that list.

               (4)

               The effect of a 15 % ad valorem additional customs duty on imports from the United States of the products in the amended Annex I represents, over 1 year, a value of trade that does not exceed USD 9,96 million.

               (5)

               To make sure that there are no delays in the customs clearance of goods removed from the scope of the 15 % ad valorem additional customs duty, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.

               (6)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 is replaced by the text of 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.
   It shall apply from 1 May 2011.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
      Done at Brussels, 31 March 2011.
