         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1180/2012
   of 10 December 2012
   amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1) (‘the Code’), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The Republic of Turkey acceded to the Convention of 20 May 1987 between the European Economic Community, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland, the Republic of Iceland, the Kingdom of Norway, the Kingdom of Sweden and the Swiss Confederation, on a common transit procedure (‘the Convention’) as a contracting party on 1 December 2012. By Decision No 4/2012 of the EU-EFTA Joint Committee on common transit of 26 June 2012 (2) the Convention was amended in order to adapt the guarantee documents for common transit in view of Turkey’s accession to the Convention. The corresponding guarantee documents for Community transit provided for in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3) should be adapted accordingly.

               (2)

               Since it has been a requirement under Decision No 4/2012 to use the guarantee documents adapted to the accession of Turkey since 1 December 2012, the corresponding guarantee documents required by Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should also be adapted with effect from that date. However, rules should be laid down in order to allow the use of guarantee documents in compliance with the specimen applicable prior to 1 December 2012 for a transitional period, subject to the necessary adaptations.

               (3)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (4)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is amended as follows:

               (1)

               Annex 48 is replaced by the text set out in Annex I to this Regulation;

               (2)

               Annex 49 is replaced by the text set out in Annex II to this Regulation;

               (3)

               Annex 50 is replaced by the text set out in Annex III to this Regulation;

               (4)

               in Annex 51, in box 7, the text ‘Turkey,’ is inserted between the text ‘Switzerland,’ and ‘Andorra’;

               (5)

               in Annex 51a, in box 6, the text ‘Turkey,’ is inserted between the text ‘Switzerland,’ and ‘Andorra’.

         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.
   It shall apply from 1 December 2012.
   However, economic operators may, until 30 November 2013, use the specimen form laid down in Annex 48, 49, 50, 51 or 51a to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1159/2012 (4), subject to the necessary geographical adaptations and adaptations concerning the address for service or the authorised agent.

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

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/407
      of 8 March 2017
      renewing the approval of the active substance iodosulfuron in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
      (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 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 20(1) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  The approval of the active substance iodosulfuron, as set out in Part A of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (2), expires on 31 October 2017.

                  (2)

                  An application for the renewal of the approval of iodosulfuron was submitted in accordance with Article 1 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012 (3) within the time period provided for in that Article.

                  (3)

                  The applicant submitted the supplementary dossiers required in accordance with Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. The application was found to be complete by the rapporteur Member State.

                  (4)

                  The rapporteur Member State prepared a renewal assessment report in consultation with the co-rapporteur Member State and submitted it to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) and the Commission on 29 April 2015.

                  (5)

                  The Authority communicated the renewal assessment report to the applicant and to the Member States for comments and forwarded the comments received to the Commission. The Authority also made the supplementary summary dossier available to the public.

                  (6)

                  On 6 April 2016 (4), the Authority communicated to the Commission its conclusion on whether iodosulfuron (considered variant iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium) can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The Commission presented the draft renewal report for iodosulfuron to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 11 July 2016.

                  (7)

                  It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing the active substance that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. Those approval criteria are therefore deemed to be satisfied.

                  (8)

                  It is therefore appropriate to renew the approval of iodosulfuron.

                  (9)

                  The risk assessment for the renewal of the approval of iodosulfuron is based on a limited number of representative uses, which however do not restrict the uses for which plant protection products containing iodosulfuron may be authorised. It is therefore appropriate not to maintain the restriction for uses as a herbicide.

                  (10)

                  In accordance with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.

                  (11)

                  In accordance with Article 20(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in conjunction with Article 13(4) thereof, the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 should be amended accordingly.

                  (12)

                  Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/950 (5) extended the approval period of iodosulfuron to 31 October 2017 in order to allow the renewal process to be completed before the expiry of the approval of that substance. However, given that a decision on renewal has been taken ahead of that expiry date, this Regulation shall apply from 1 April 2017.

                  (13)

                  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
      Renewal of the approval of active substance
      The approval of the active substance iodosulfuron, as specified in Annex I, is renewed subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
      Article 2
      Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
      The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
      Article 3
      Entry into force and date of application
      This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
      It shall apply from 1 April 2017.

         This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
         Done at Brussels, 8 March 2017.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1159/2012
   of 7 December 2012
   amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1) (the Code), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (2) lays down the conditions under which the Community status of goods which have been brought into a Member State from another Member State may be established. However, currently that Regulation does not provide for the possibility to establish the Community status of goods which have been moved from one point in a Member State through the territory of a third country on to another point in the same Member State. Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be amended to provide for that possibility.

               (2)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 756/2012 (3) amended Annex 38 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 containing a list of packaging codes based on Recommendation No 21 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. The packaging codes format as indicated in Box 31 of Annex 38 has changed from alphabetic2 (a2) to alphanumeric2 (an2). The code of the Type/Length of the kind of packages of Annex 37a should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (3)

               The Republic of Croatia acceded to the Convention of 20 May 1987 between the European Economic Community, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland, the Republic of Iceland, the Kingdom of Norway, the Kingdom of Sweden and the Swiss Confederation, on a common transit procedure (4) (the Convention) as a contracting party on 1 July 2012. By Decision No 3/2012 of the EU-EFTA Joint Committee on common transit of 26 June 2012 (5) the Convention was amended in order to adapt the guarantee documents for common transit in view of Croatia’s accession to the Convention. The corresponding guarantee documents for Community transit provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should be adapted accordingly.

               (4)

               Since it has been a requirement under Decision No 3/2012 to use the guarantee documents adapted to the accession of Croatia since 1 July 2012, the corresponding guarantee documents required by Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should also be adapted with effect from that date. However, rules should be laid down in order to allow the use of guarantee documents in compliance with the specimen applicable prior to 1 July 2012 for a transitional period, subject to the necessary adaptations.

               (5)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (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
   Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 is amended as follows:

               1.

               Article 314 is amended as follows:

                           (a)

                           Paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
                           ‘1.   Where goods are not deemed to be Community goods within the meaning of Article 313, their Community status may be established in accordance with Article 314c(1) only if they fulfil the conditions laid down in any of the following points:

                                       (a)

                                       the goods have been moved from one point to another within the customs territory of the Community and temporarily leave that territory without crossing the territory of a third country;

                                       (b)

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 756/2011
   of 27 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 20th day following 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.

                  A product composed of (% by weight):

                              —

                              raw fish (in pieces) of the genus Mullus

                              64

                              —

                              raw shrimps

                              10

                              —

                              raw vegetables

                              26

                        presented on a wooden stick.

                  1604 19 98

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2 to Chapter 16 and the wording of CN codes 1604, 1604 19 and 1604 19 98.
                  The addition of the vegetables to the (raw) fishmeat/shrimps presented on a wooden stick is considered to be a preparation. Consequently, classification in Chapter 3 is to be excluded as the product has been prepared by a process not provided for in that Chapter (see Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to Chapter 3, General, fifth paragraph).
                  The product is therefore to be classified under heading 1604 as prepared fish of CN code 1604 19 98.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1328/2013
   of 12 December 2013
   granting cross-regional cumulation between Indonesia and Sri Lanka as regards the rules of origin used for the purposes of the scheme of generalised tariff preferences pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 247 thereof,
   Having regard to 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), and in particular Article 86 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 86(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 provides that and sets conditions under which beneficiary countries of the Union Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) belonging to regional groups I and III may be allowed to use each other’s materials under a specific type of cumulation usually called ‘cross-regional cumulation’.

               (2)

               By letter dated 15 April 2013, Indonesia and Sri Lanka submitted a joint request for cross-regional cumulation pursuant to Article 86(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

               (3)

               The countries concerned propose that, in order to stimulate trade and contribute to the growth of both economies, the tobacco growing sector of Indonesia be allowed to supply the Sri Lankan cigar manufacturing sector with materials of Indonesian origin that Sri Lanka could use there under cumulation in further working or processing going beyond the operations described in Article 78(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

               (4)

               In the request, both countries have undertaken to comply or ensure compliance with the GSP rules of origin and to provide the administrative cooperation necessary to ensure the correct implementation of these rules both with regard to the Union and between themselves.

               (5)

               The request contains a description of the materials to be used under cumulation, which are unmanufactured tobacco and tobacco refuse of Harmonised System (HS) heading 2401, as well as the processing phases and the supporting processes to be carried out in Sri Lanka.

               (6)

               The requesting countries submit that the cross-regional cumulation, if granted, would have positive effects on the economies of both countries and would not affect negatively the sectors of the Union economy involved in cigar production and sale.

               (7)

               The possibility for Sri Lanka to cumulate materials of HS heading 2401 originating in Indonesia should therefore be granted, provided that both countries remain GSP beneficiary countries in the sense of Article 2(d) of Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

               (8)

               The European Commission will monitor the evolution of the imports resulting from this authorisation and in the light of this monitoring, may reconsider this authorisation based on criteria such as the increase of quantity of imports.

               (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
   Sri Lanka is hereby entitled to use, in accordance with Article 86(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, unmanufactured tobacco and tobacco refuse of HS code 2401 originating in Indonesia under cumulation of origin. In accordance with Article 86(2)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, this entitlement is conditional upon both Sri Lanka and Indonesia remaining at the time of exportation of the product to the Union beneficiary countries in the sense of Article 2(d) of Regulation (EU) No 978/2012.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2014.

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

               (2)

               The standard import value is calculated each working day, in accordance with Article 136(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, taking into account variable daily data. Therefore this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

   of 24 April 2012
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2011 as regards the periods during which tenders may be submitted in response to the second and subsequent partial invitations to tender for the 2011/2012 marketing year for imports of sugar at a reduced customs duty
   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 187, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2011 (2) opened a standing invitation to tender for the 2011/2012 marketing year for imports of sugar of CN code 1701 at a reduced customs duty.

               (2)

               As the availability of supply on the Union sugar market has improved, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 57/2012 (3) suspended the submission of tenders for the partial invitation to tender ending on 25 January 2012, 1 February 2012 and 15 February 2012.

               (3)

               Constant monitoring of the market revealed that availability of sugar supply in the Union has improved only moderately. Despite the increasing imports in January 2012 the pace of imports from African, Caribbean and Pacific States and Least Developed Countries decreased considerably since mid-February 2012. This analysis was confirmed by a large majority of Member States in the Management Committee of 8 March 2012 who considered that there were still supply problems that would get worse in the course of the marketing year. This could concern especially small and medium Enterprises and customers with fixed quantities in long term contracts.

               (4)

               It is therefore appropriate to advance the periods of submission of tenders and their ending dates which Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2011 scheduled for 6 June 2012, 27 June 2012 and 11 July 2012.

               (5)

               Regulation (EU) No 1239/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               In order to give a rapid signal to the market and to ensure efficient management of the measure, 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 the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   In Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2011, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:

      "2.   The periods during which tenders may be submitted in response to the second and subsequent partial invitations shall begin on the first working day following the end of the preceding period. They shall end at 12 noon, Brussels time, on 2 May 2012, 23 May 2012 and 6 June 2012."

   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

   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,

               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)

               (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.

                  Blue polymethine dye (fluorescent dye) diluted in a mixture of the solvents ethylene glycol and methanol.
                  Composition (% by weight):

                              —

                              Ethylene glycol

                              —

                              Polymethine dye

                              0,002

                        The product is meant to be used in automatic blood analysers. It is used for staining leukocytes by means of fluorescent marking after they have undergone a specific preparatory treatment. The product is put up in a small, labelled container for use in laboratories.

                  3212 90 00

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2 to Section VI and the wording of CN codes 3212 and 3212 90 00.
                  Colouring matter of heading 3204 put up for retail sale is classified under heading 3212. Such products are not covered by heading 3822 and therefore the product in question cannot be classified under that heading as a diagnostic or laboratory reagent. See also the products excluded from heading 3822 under point (c) of the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to that heading.
                  According to its characteristics, the product is a dye within the meaning of heading 3212, and is used for the purposes of staining.
                  Due to the fact that the product is classifiable under heading 3212 and is put up in measured doses or for retail sale, it fulfils the provisions of Note 2 to Section VI. Thus, it is to be classified under this heading and under no other heading of the nomenclature. See also the third paragraph of point C of the HSEN to heading 3212.

   establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities covered by the applications for import licences lodged from 30 to 31 March 2015 under the tariff quota opened by Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006 for olive oil originating in Tunisia and suspending submission of applications for such licences for the month of April 2015
   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(1) and (3) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006 (2) opened annual tariff quotas for imports of virgin olive oil falling within CN codes 1509 10 10 and 1509 10 90, wholly obtained in Tunisia and transported direct from that country to the European Union. Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006 lays down the maximum monthly quantities covered by the import licences to be issued.

               The quantities covered by the applications for import licences lodged from 30 to 31 March 2015 for the month of April 2015 exceed 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, calculated in accordance with Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006. (3) Submission of new applications should be suspended for the month of April 2015

               (3)
