title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 773/2013 of 12 August 2013 establishing a derogation from Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 as regards the minimum distance from coast and the minimum sea depth for boat seines fishing for transparent goby ( Aphia minuta ) in certain territorial waters of Spain (Murcia)

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 773/2013
   of 12 August 2013
   establishing a derogation from Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 as regards the minimum distance from coast and the minimum sea depth for boat seines fishing for transparent goby (Aphia minuta) in certain territorial waters of Spain (Murcia)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 of 21 December 2006 concerning management measures for the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea (1), and in particular Article 13(5) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 prohibits the use of towed gears within 3 nautical miles of the coast or within the 50 m isobath where that depth is reached at a shorter distance from the coast.

               (2)

               At the request of a Member State, the Commission may allow a derogation from Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006, provided that a number of conditions set out in Article 13(5) and (9) are fulfilled.

               (3)

               On 17 April 2012 the Commission received a request for derogation from Spain to Article 13(1) of that Regulation, for the use of boat seines fishing for Transparent goby (Aphia minuta), within its territorial waters in the Autonomous Community of Murcia.

               (4)

               The request covers vessels registered in the Operational Fleet Official Census managed by the Directorate-General for Livestock and Fisheries of the Autonomous Community of Murcia which have a track record in the fishery of more than five years and will operate under a management plan regulating boat seines fishing for transparent goby (Aphia minuta).

               (5)

               The management plan guarantees no future increase in the fishing effort, foreseeing that whenever one of the 29 authorised vessels stops the activity only a vessel with an equal or minor capacity in terms of power and length will be able to replace it in the Census.

               (6)

               The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) assessed the derogation requested by Spain and the related draft management plan at its plenary session held from 5 to 9 November 2012.

               (7)

               Spain has adopted the management plan by approving the ‘Order of 27 March 2013, of the regional Ministry for Agriculture and Water regulating the fishery of Transparent goby (Aphia minuta) in the internal waters of the region of Murcia’ (2) in accordance with Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.

               (8)

               The derogation requested by Spain complies with the conditions set out in Article 13(5) and (9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.

               (9)

               In particular, given both the limited size of the continental shelf and the spatial distribution of the target species, which is exclusively limited to certain zones in the coastal areas at depths of less than 50 meters, the fishing grounds are limited.

               (10)

               Moreover, the fishery cannot be undertaken with other gears, has no significant impact on protected habitats and is very selective, since the seines are hauled in the water column and do not touch the seabed. Indeed collection of material from the seabed would damage the target species and make the selection of the fished species virtually impossible due to their very small size.

               (11)

               The derogation requested by Spain affects a limited number of vessels, since only 29 vessels are involved.

               (12)

               The fishing activities concerned fulfil the requirements of the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 concerning protected habitats which, by way of derogation, allows fishing above those habitats if fishing is operated without touching the seagrass bed under certain conditions.

               (13)

               The requirements of Article 8(1)(h) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 are not applicable since they relate to trawlers.

               (14)

               Since the fishing activities concerned are highly selective, have a negligible effect on the environment and are not affected by provisions in Article 4(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006, they are eligible for the derogation to the minimum mesh size referred to in Article 9(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006. Therefore, the minimum mesh size rules set by Article 9(3) do not apply.

               (15)

               The Spanish management plan includes measures for the monitoring of fishing activities, thus fulfilling the conditions set out in Article 13(9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 and in Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 (3).

               (16)

               The fishing activities concerned take place at a very short distance from the coast and therefore do not interfere with the activities of other vessels.

               (17)

               The Spanish management plan ensures that catches of species mentioned in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 are minimal and that the fishing activities do not target cephalopods.

               (18)

               Therefore, the requested derogation should be granted.

               (19)

               Spain should report to the Commission in due time and in accordance with the monitoring plan provided for in the Spanish management plan.

               (20)

               In line with the request by Spain, a limitation in duration of the derogation will allow ensuring prompt corrective management measures in case the report to the Commission will show a poor conservation status of the exploited stock while providing scope to improve the scientific basis for an improved management plan.

               (21)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Derogation
   Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 shall not apply, in territorial waters of Spain adjacent to the coast of the Autonomous Community of Murcia, to fishing for transparent goby (Aphia minuta) by boat seines which are used by vessels:

               (a)

   Whereas:

               (1)

               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 16 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:

   Having regard to Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on Alternative Investment Fund Managers and amending Directives 2003/41/EC and 2009/65/EC and Regulations (EC) No 1060/2009 and (EU) No 1095/2010 (1), and in particular Article 37(14) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In the situations referred to in point (b), point (c)(i), points (e) and (f) and point (g)(i) of Article 37(4) of Directive 2011/61/EU, more than one Member State could be considered as a possible Member State of reference of a non-EU manager of alternative investment funds (AIFMs) intending to manage EU alternative investment funds (AIFs) and, as the case may be, or market AIFs managed by it in the Union. In those cases the non-EU AIFM has to submit a request to the competent authorities of those Member States to determine its Member State of reference. The request should be accompanied by all the relevant information and documentation necessary for determining the Member State of reference for this AIFM. A joint decision should be adopted by the competent authorities concerned to determine the Member State of reference. A procedure to be followed by the relevant competent authorities when determining the Member State of reference needs to be established. Whilst the appointment of the Member State of reference is the joint responsibility of the competent authorities of the Member States concerned, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) established by Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) should ensure that all possible Member States of reference are duly involved in such decision-making and should assist in reaching an agreement.

               (2)

               The procedure for determining the Member State of reference is different from the procedure for applying for a passport under Directive 2011/61/EU. Once the Member State of reference has been determined the non-EU AIFM concerned has to apply for authorisation to the competent authority of that Member State, following the same procedure and subject to the same conditions as applicable to AIFMs under Articles 7 and 8 of Directive 2011/61/EU.

               (3)

               Directive 2011/61/EU obliges Member States to apply the laws, regulations and administrative provisions which transpose that Directive from 22 July 2013. Without prejudice to the delegated act required in Article 67(6) of Directive 2011/61/EU, the application of this Regulation is therefore also deferred to the same date.

               (4)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Securities Committee,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Procedure for determining the Member State of reference from among several possible Member States of reference
   1.   Where a non-EU alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) intending to manage EU alternative investment funds (AIFs) without marketing them or intending to market AIFs managed by it in the Union submits a request to determine its Member State of reference pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 37(4) of Directive 2011/61/EU, that request shall be in writing and shall be addressed to each of the competent authorities of the Member States that are possible Member States of reference. The request shall list all the possible Member States of reference.
   2.   The request by the non-EU AIFM shall include the information and documentation necessary for determining the Member State of reference.

               (a)

               indication of the Member States where AIFs managed by a non-EU AIFM are established;

               (b)

               a description of the marketing strategy capable of proving the intention of the non-EU AIFM to market a certain AIF or several AIFs in a particular Member State or in several Member States, and to develop effective marketing in particular Member States, indicating at least:

                           (i)

                           the Member States where the distributors (and the AIFM in case of self-distribution) are going to promote units or shares of AIFs, which are managed by the AIFM, including the expected share, in terms of assets under management, in the overall promotion in the Union;

                           (ii)

                           an estimate of the expected number of investors targeted having their domicile in the Member States where the AIFM intends to market its AIFs;

                           (iii)

                           the official languages of Member States into which the offering and promotional documents have been or are to be translated;

                           (iv)

                           the distribution of marketing activities across the Member States where the AIFM intends to market its AIFs taking into account in particular the prominence and frequency of advertisements and road shows.

         6.   In the situation referred to in Article 37(4)(f) of Directive 2011/61/EU, such information and documentation shall include information stipulated in paragraph 5(b) of this Article.
   7.   The competent authorities addressed by a non-EU AIFM as competent authorities of possible Member States of reference shall immediately upon receipt of the request referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, and no later than three business days following the receipt of the request, contact each other and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) in order to decide whether any other competent authorities in the Union are potentially involved pursuant to Article 37(4) of Directive 2011/61/EU.
   Upon ESMA’s request, the competent authorities shall immediately provide ESMA with the complete request made by the non-EU AIFM.
   8.   Where it is decided that other competent authorities in the Union could be involved, ESMA shall immediately inform them and ensure that the complete request made by the non-EU AIFM is transmitted to them.
   9.   Each competent authority involved in the procedure and ESMA may request from the non-EU AIFM relevant additional information and documentation necessary for determining the Member State of reference.
   Such request of additional information or documentation shall be in writing, shall include reasons and shall be simultaneously communicated to all other competent authorities concerned and to ESMA.
   Once the requesting competent authority or ESMA receives the additional information or documentation, the requesting authority shall transmit that information or documentation immediately to all other authorities concerned and ESMA, as the case may be.
   10.   Within one week from the receipt of the request referred to in paragraph 1 by the competent authorities addressed by the AIFM or, where applicable, by any other competent authorities in the Union pursuant to paragraph 8, all competent authorities concerned shall submit an opinion to each other and to ESMA with regard to the determination of the appropriate Member State of reference.
   11.   Subsequently, all competent authorities shall jointly determine the Member State of reference. The determination shall be made at the latest one month after the receipt of the request by the competent authorities identified by the non-EU AIFM or, where applicable, by the other competent authorities in the Union pursuant to paragraph 8.
   Where additional information is requested, the time limit referred to in the first subparagraph shall be extended to include the period between the request for additional information and documentation referred to in paragraph 9 and the receipt of such information or documentation.
   12.   ESMA shall assist the relevant competent authorities and, where necessary, facilitate the determination of the Member State of reference pursuant to Article 31 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010.
   13.   The competent authority of the Member State that is determined as the Member State of reference shall inform in writing and without undue delay the non-EU AIFM about that determination.

   The non-EU AIFM shall immediately inform in writing all the competent authorities originally addressed and ESMA about its choice of the Member State of reference.
   15.   Where the Member State of reference chosen by the non-EU AIFM and the Member State of reference determined by the competent authorities, are different, the competent authorities concerned shall inform the non-EU AIFM about the determination as soon as possible, but no later than two business days after being informed about the choice of the AIFM according to paragraph 14. In this case, the determination shall prevail.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/242
   of 10 February 2017
   initiating a review of Implementing Regulations (EU) 2016/184 and (EU) 2016/185 (extending the definitive countervailing and anti-dumping duty on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China to imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) consigned from Malaysia and Taiwan, whether declared as originating in Malaysia and in Taiwan or not) for the purposes of determining the possibility of granting an exemption from those measures to one Malaysian exporting producer, repealing the anti-dumping duty with regard to imports from that exporting producer and making imports from that exporting producer subject to registration
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (1) (‘the basic anti-dumping Regulation’) and in particular Articles 11(4), 13(4) and 14(5) and to Regulation (EU) 2016/1037 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Union (2) (‘the basic anti-subsidy Regulation’) and in particular to Articles 23(6) and 24(5) thereof,
   After informing the Member States,
   Whereas:
   1.   REQUEST

               (1)

               The European Commission (‘the Commission’) received a request for an exemption from the anti-dumping and countervailing measures applicable to imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China extended to imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) consigned from Malaysia and Taiwan, whether declared as originating in Malaysia and in Taiwan or not, as far as the applicant is concerned, pursuant to Articles 11(4) and 13(4) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 23(6) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation.

               (2)

               The request was lodged on 21 October 2016 by Jinko Solar Technology SDN.BHD (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels and cells of the type used in crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels in Malaysia.

         2.   PRODUCT UNDER REVIEW

               (3)

               The product under review is crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels and cells of the type used in crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels (the cells have a thickness not exceeding 400 micrometres), consigned from Malaysia and Taiwan, whether declared as originating in Malaysia and in Taiwan or not, currently falling within CN codes ex 8501 31 00, ex 8501 32 00, ex 8501 33 00, ex 8501 34 00, ex 8501 61 20, ex 8501 61 80, ex 8501 62 00, ex 8501 63 00, ex 8501 64 00 and ex 8541 40 90.

               (4)

               The following product types are excluded from the definition of the product under review:

                           —

                           solar chargers that consist of less than six cells, are portable and supply electricity to devices or charge batteries,

                           —

                           thin film photovoltaic products,

                           —

                           crystalline silicon photovoltaic products that are permanently integrated into electrical goods, where the function of the electrical goods is other than power generation, and where these electrical goods consume the electricity generated by the integrated crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell(s),

                           —

                           modules or panels with an output voltage not exceeding 50 V DC and a power output not exceeding 50 W solely for direct use as battery chargers in systems with the same voltage and power characteristics.

         3.   EXISTING MEASURES

               (5)

               The Council, by Implementing Regulations (EU) No 1238/2013 (3) and (EU) No 1239/2013 (4), imposed anti-dumping and countervailing measures on crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels and cells of the type used in crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China (‘the original measures’). Also an Undertaking Agreement was accepted. By Implementing Regulations (EU) 2016/184 (5) and (EU) 2016/185 (6), the Commission extended the measures to imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) consigned from Malaysia and Taiwan (‘the extended measures’), whether declared as originating in Malaysia and in Taiwan or not, with the exception of imports produced by certain companies specifically mentioned.

               (6)

               On 5 December 2015 the Commission initiated expiry reviews of the anti-dumping (7) and countervailing (8) measures and an interim review (9). These review investigations are ongoing.

         4.   GROUNDS FOR THE REVIEW

               (7)

               The applicant claimed that it did not export the product under review to the Union during the investigation period used in the investigation that led to the extended measures, namely the period from 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2015.

               (8)

               In addition, the applicant claimed that it has not circumvented the existing measures.

               (9)

               The applicant further claimed that after the investigation period used in the investigation that led to the extended measures it has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union.

         5.   PROCEDURE

   5.1.   Initiation

               (10)

               The Commission examined the evidence available and concluded that there was sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Articles 11(4) and 13(4) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and to Article 23(6) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation for the purposes of determining the possibility of granting the applicant an exemption from the extended measures.

               (11)

               The Union industry known to be concerned was informed of the request for a review and was given an opportunity to comment. The Union industry claimed that since the applicant is related to a Chinese group subject to measures which withdrew from the Undertaking (10), the risk of circumvention is particularly high.

               (12)

               The Commission will pay particular attention to this relationship and carefully examine if the relationship with the companies subject to the existing measures was not established or used to circumvent the measures. The Commission will also consider whether particular monitoring conditions should be imposed in case the investigation will conclude that granting the exemption is warranted.

         5.2.   Repeal of the existing anti-dumping measures and registration of imports

               (13)

               Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the product under review which are produced and sold for export to the Union by the applicant.

               (14)

               At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation in order to ensure that, should the review result in a finding of circumvention in respect of the applicant, anti-dumping duties can be levied from the date of the registration of these imports. The amount of the applicant's possible future liabilities cannot be estimated at this stage of the investigation.

         5.3.   Existing anti-subsidy measures

               (15)

               As there is no legal basis in the basic anti-subsidy Regulation to repeal the anti-subsidy measures in force, these measures will remain in force. Only should the review result in the finding that the applicant is entitled to an exemption, the anti-subsidy measures in force will be repealed through a Regulation granting such an exemption.

         5.4.   Review investigation period

               (16)

               The investigation will cover the period from 1 April 2014 to 31 December 2016 (‘review investigation period’).

         5.5.   Investigating the applicant

               (17)

               In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send a questionnaire to the applicant. The applicant must submit the completed questionnaire within 37 days of the date of entry into force of this Regulation, unless otherwise specified, pursuant to Article 6(2) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 11(2) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation.

         5.6.   Other written submissions

               (18)

               Subject to the provisions of this Regulation, all interested parties are invited to make their views known, submit information and provide supporting evidence. Unless otherwise specified, this information and supporting evidence must reach the Commission within 37 days of the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

         5.7.   Possibility to be heard by the Commission investigation services

               (19)

               All interested parties may request to be heard by the Commission investigation services. Any request to be heard must be made in writing and must specify the reasons for the request. For hearings on issues pertaining to the initiation stage of the investigation the request must be submitted within 15 days of the date of entry into force of this Regulation. Thereafter, a request to be heard must be submitted within the specific deadlines set by the Commission in its communication with the parties.

         5.8.   Instructions for making written submissions and sending completed questionnaires and correspondence

               (20)

               Information submitted to the Commission for the purpose of trade defence investigations shall be free from copyrights. Interested parties, before submitting to the Commission information and/or data which is subject to third-party copyrights, must request specific permission to the copyright holder explicitly allowing: (a) the Commission to use the information and data for the purpose of this trade defence proceeding; and (b) to provide the information and/or data to interested parties to this investigation in a form that allows them to exercise their right of defence.

               (21)

               All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, completed questionnaires and correspondence provided by interested parties for which confidential treatment is requested should be labelled ‘Limited’ (11).

               (22)

               Interested parties providing ‘Limited’ information are required to furnish non- confidential summaries of it pursuant to Article 19(2) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 29(2) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, which will be labelled ‘For inspection by interested parties’. These summaries should be sufficiently detailed to permit a reasonable understanding of the substance of the information submitted in confidence. If an interested party providing confidential information does not furnish a non-confidential summary of it in the requested format and quality, such information may be disregarded.

               (23)

               Interested parties are invited to make all submissions and requests by email including scanned powers of attorney and certification sheets, with the exception of voluminous replies which should be submitted on a portable digital storage medium (CD-ROM, DVD, USB flash drive, etc.) by hand or by registered mail. By using email, interested parties express their agreement with the rules applicable to electronic submissions contained in the document ‘CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION IN TRADE DEFENCE CASES’ published on the website of the Directorate-General for Trade:
               http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2011/june/tradoc_148003.pdf
               The interested parties must indicate their name, address, telephone and a valid email address and they should ensure that the provided email address is a functioning official business email which is checked on a daily basis. Once contact details are provided, the Commission will communicate with interested parties by email only, unless they explicitly request to receive all documents from the Commission by another means of communication or unless the nature of the document to be sent requires the use of a registered mail. For further rules and information concerning correspondence with the Commission including principles that apply to submissions by email, interested parties should consult the communication instructions with interested parties referred to above.

         6.   NON-COOPERATION

               (24)

               In cases where any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made on the basis of facts available, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 28 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation.

               (25)

               Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information may be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.

               (26)

               If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 28 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.

               (27)

               Failure to give a computerised response will not be deemed to constitute non-cooperation, provided that the interested party shows that presenting the response as requested would result in an unreasonable extra burden or unreasonable additional cost. The interested party should immediately contact the Commission.

         7.   HEARING OFFICER

               (28)

               Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and requests by third parties to be heard. The Hearing Officer may organise a hearing with an individual interested party and mediate to ensure that the interested parties' rights of defence are being fully exercised. The Hearing Officer will also provide opportunities for a hearing involving parties to take place which would allow different views to be presented and rebuttal arguments offered.

               (29)

               A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. For hearings on issues pertaining to the initial stage of the investigation the request must be submitted within 15 days of the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 447/2013 of 15 May 2013 establishing the procedure for AIFMs which choose to opt in under Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 447/2013
   of 15 May 2013
   establishing the procedure for AIFMs which choose to opt in under Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2011/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on Alternative Investment Fund Managers and amending Directives 2003/41/EC and 2009/65/EC and Regulations (EC) No 1060/2009 and (EU) No 1095/2010 (1), and in particular Article 3(5) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 3(4) of Directive 2011/61/EU, alternative investment fund managers (AIFMs) that meet the conditions provided for in Article 3(2) of that Directive may choose to opt in under it in order to benefit from the rights granted. By opting in, an AIFM becomes subject to the application of Directive 2011/61/EU in its entirety.

               (2)

               Directive 2011/61/EU provides for a procedure for authorisation of AIFMs. The documents and information to be provided under that procedure offer necessary details as to the requesting AIFM and therefore the same documents and procedure should be used in the case of opting in. There are no specific reasons peculiar to opting in that would justify the use of a different procedure than the one applicable to AIFMs with assets under management above the thresholds provided for in Article 3(2) of Directive 2011/61/EU. Consequently, AIFMs choosing to opt in under Directive 2011/61/EU should follow the same procedure as that established for AIFMs that are obliged to seek authorisation under Directive 2011/61/EU.

               (3)

               AIFMs having the right to opt in are AIFMs which had been previously either registered in accordance with Article 3(3) of Directive 2011/61/EU or authorised as management companies of undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities in accordance with Directive 2009/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS) (2). It is appropriate to avoid double reporting and to account for the documents and information already submitted by AIFMs to the competent authorities under the registration and authorisation procedures, provided that those documents and information are up to date.

               (4)

               Competent authorities should examine the request to opt in and grant authorisation to that effect under the same conditions and following the same procedure as in the case of AIFMs with assets under management above the relevant thresholds provided in Article 3(2) of Directive 2011/61/EU.

               (5)

               It is important to clarify the relationship between the procedure for those AIFMs which choose to opt in and the revocation of an authorisation granted to AIFMs under Directive 2011/61/EU. An AIFM granted authorisation under Directive 2011/61/EU whose assets under management subsequently fall below the thresholds set out in Article 3(2) of Directive 2011/61/EU remains authorised and subject to the application of that Directive in its entirety as long as the authorisation is not revoked. The revocation of the authorisation should not be automatically triggered by a fall of the assets under management of an authorised AIFM below the relevant threshold, but only at the request of the AIFM. Consequently it should not be possible for an AIFM to request to opt in as long as it holds an authorisation under Directive 2011/61/EU, whereas an AIFM whose authorisation has been revoked upon its request should still be able to seek to opt in again under Directive 2011/61/EU.

               (6)

               Directive 2011/61/EU obliges Member States to apply the laws, regulations and administrative provisions which transpose that Directive from 22 July 2013. The application of this Regulation is therefore also deferred to the same date.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Securities Committee,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Procedure and conditions for opt in
   1.   An alternative investment fund manager (AIFM) that meets the conditions provided for in Article 3(2) of Directive 2011/61/EU and chooses to opt in under that Directive shall submit an application for authorisation to the competent authority of its home Member State.
   The application shall follow the same procedure provided for in paragraphs 1 to 5 of Article 7 of Directive 2011/61/EU and in the measures adopted in implementation thereof.
   2.   The competent authority of the home Member State may exempt an AIFM referred to in paragraph 1 from submitting all information and documents required under Article 7 of that Directive, provided that the exempted information or documents have been already submitted to the competent authority for registration purposes in accordance with Article 3(3) of that Directive or as part of the authorisation procedure pursuant to Article 5 of Directive 2009/65/EC and provided that such information and documents are still up to date, which is confirmed in writing by the AIFM.
   3.   The competent authority of the home Member State shall grant an authorisation following the same procedure as provided for in paragraphs 1 to 5 of Article 8 of Directive 2011/61/EU.
   Article 2
   Entry into force and application
   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 apply from 22 July 2013.

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

               The Commission is empowered to amend that Annex, taking into account Council Decisions implementing Council Common Position 2004/694/CFSP of 11 October 2004 on further measures in support of the effective implementation of the mandate of the ICTY (2). Common Position 2004/694/CFSP has been replaced with Council Decision 2010/603/CFSP of 7 October 2010 on further measures in support of the effective implementation of the mandate of the ICTY (3). Council Implementing Decision 2011/422/CFSP (4) implements Decision 2010/603/CFSP.

               (3)

               Regulation (EC) No 1763/2004 gives effect to Decision 2010/603/CFSP to the extent that action at Union level is required. Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1763/2004 should, therefore, be amended accordingly,
