         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 415/2014
   of 23 April 2014
   amending and derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 as regards the management of the tariff quotas for dairy products originating in Ukraine
   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) and (c) of Article 187 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides for preferential arrangements for 2014 as regards the customs duties for the import of certain goods originating in Ukraine. In accordance with Article 3 of that Regulation the agricultural products listed in Annex III thereto are to be admitted for import into the Union within the limits of the tariff quotas as set out in that Annex. The quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 are to be administered by the Commission in accordance with Article 184(2)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

               (2)

               Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 includes tariff quotas for milk and milk products. It is necessary to include those quotas in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 (3) and to insert in Article 19 of that Regulation a reference to the relevant rule on the proof of origin which is required to import under those quotas.

               (3)

               Since the quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 are open only until 31 October 2014, the period of lodging import licence applications and the period of validity of import licences should be specified.

               (4)

               According to Article 10(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, importers approved in May 2013 can import under quotas only during the period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014. As the quotas opened for Ukraine are exceptionally running over two consecutive six-months periods, approved importers could only import until 30 June 2014 whilst the concerned quotas are open until 31 October 2014. It is therefore appropriate to enable those importers to import under the quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 until 31 October 2014.

               (5)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1001/2013 (4), has replaced some CN codes in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (5) by new CN codes which now differ from those referred to in Regulation (EU) No 374/2014. The new CN codes should therefore be reflected in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001.

               (6)

               Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (7)

               Since the quotas referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 are open only until 31 October 2014, this Regulation should enter into force as soon as possible.

               (8)

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

               (c)

   Whereas:

               (1)

   of 4 November 2016
   approving chlorocresol as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 13
   (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 chlorocresol.

               (2)

               Chlorocresol 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 13, metalworking-fluid preservatives, as described in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 13 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 24 July 2013.

               (4)

               In accordance with Article 7(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the opinion of the European Chemicals Agency was formulated on 13 April 2016 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 13 containing chlorocresol may be expected to satisfy the requirements 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 chlorocresol for use in biocidal products of product-type 13, 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
   Chlorocresol is approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 13, 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.

   amending the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 on pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding maximum residue limits in foodstuffs of animal origin, as regards the substance manganese carbonate
   (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 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 are 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 (2).

               (3)

               Manganese carbonate is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance, for all food-producing species, for oral use only.

               (4)

               An application for the extension of the existing entry for manganese carbonate to include parenteral use in bovine species has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency.

               (5)

               According to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 the European Medicines Agency is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.

               (6)

               The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use recommended the extension of MRL for manganese carbonate in bovine species to include parenteral use, and has recommended the extrapolation of the MRLs for manganese carbonate in bovine species to all food-producing species.

               (7)

               Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended to include the substance manganese carbonate for parenteral use in all food-producing species.

               (8)

               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:
   Article 1
   The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/2147
   of 7 December 2016
   authorising an increase of the limits for the enrichment of wine produced using the grapes harvested in 2016 in certain wine-growing regions of Germany and in all wine-growing regions of Hungary
   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 91 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Point A.3 of Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides that Member States may request that the limits for increasing the alcoholic strength (enrichment) of wine by volume be raised by up to 0,5 % in years in which climatic conditions have been exceptionally unfavourable.

               (2)

               Germany and Hungary have requested such increases of the limits for enrichment of the wine produced using the grapes harvested in the year 2016, as climatic conditions during the growing season have been exceptionally unfavourable. Such request has been made by Hungary for all its wine-growing regions. Germany requested the increase of enrichment only for wine made from red wine grape varieties for the regions of Baden Ahr, Mittelrhein, Mosel, Nahe, Pfalz, Rheinhessen and Württemberg.

               (3)

               Due to the exceptionally adverse weather conditions during 2016, the limits on increases in the natural alcoholic strength provided for in point A.2 of Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 do not enable the production of wine with an appropriate total alcoholic strength from all or certain grape varieties in certain wine-growing regions for which there would normally be market demand.

               (4)

               It is therefore appropriate to authorise an increase of the limits for the enrichment of wine produced using all or certain varieties of wine grapes harvested in 2016 in wine growing regions in Hungary and Germany.

               (5)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   By way of derogation from point A.3 of Part I of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, in the wine-growing regions or a part thereof listed in the Annex to this Regulation and for all or certain wine grape varieties as specified in that Annex, the increase in natural alcoholic strength by volume of fresh grapes harvested in the year 2016, grape must, grape must in fermentation, new wine still in fermentation and wine produced using the grapes harvested in the year 2016, shall not exceed the following limits:

               (a)

               3,5 % vol. in wine-growing zone A referred to in appendix I to Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013;

               (b)

               2,5 % vol. in wine-growing zone B referred to in appendix I to Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013;

               (c)

               2,0 % vol. in wine-growing zone C referred to in appendix I to Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

         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.
