         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/793
   of 10 May 2017
   amending Regulation (EC) No 180/2008 as regards extending the period of designation of the EU Reference Laboratory for equine diseases other than African horse sickness
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Directive 2009/156/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing the movement and importation from third countries of equidae (1), and in particular Article 19(d) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 180/2008 (2) designated the Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l'alimentation, de l'environnement et du travail (ANSES) with its laboratories for animal health and equine diseases, France, as the EU reference laboratory for equine diseases other than African horse sickness, and the Annex thereto sets outs its functions, tasks and procedures regarding collaboration with the laboratories responsible for diagnosing infectious diseases of equidae in the Member States.

               (2)

               Regulation (EC) No 180/2008, as adopted by the Commission in 2008, designated Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des aliments (AFSSA) as the EU reference laboratory for equine diseases other than African horse sickness for an initial period of five years expiring on 30 June 2013. Commission Regulation (EU) No 208/2011 (3) updated Regulation (EC) No 180/2008 as regards the name of the institution, i.e. Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l'alimentation, de l'environnement et du travail (ANSES). Regulation (EC) No 180/2008, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 72/2013 (4), extended the period of designation of ANSES for a further period of five years expiring on 30 June 2018.

               (3)

               For more than eight years, ANSES has fulfilled its functions, tasks and procedures, and thus significantly improved the capabilities of the national reference laboratories for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of particular equine diseases.

               (4)

               In order to ensure a high quality and uniformity of analytical and diagnostic results in the Union, it is important that ANSES continues to carry out its activities as the EU reference laboratory for equine diseases other than African horse for a further five-year period.

               (5)

               Regulation (EC) No 180/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               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
   In Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 180/2008, the date ‘30 June 2018’ is replaced by the date ‘30 June 2023’.
   Article 2

title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 859/2012 of 20 September 2012 fixing the export refunds on beef and veal

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 859/2012
   of 20 September 2012
   fixing the export refunds on beef and veal
   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 164(2), and Article 170, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XV of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Union market may be covered by an export refund.

               (2)

               Given the present situation on the market in beef and veal, export refunds should therefore be set in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167, 168 and 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

               (3)

               Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the refund may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.

               (4)

               Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Union and that bear the health mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2). Those products must also satisfy the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3) and Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4).

               (5)

               The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 534/2012 (5). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.

               (6)

               In order to prevent divergence with the current market situation, to prevent market speculation and to ensure efficient management, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

               (7)

               The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   Export refunds as provided for in Article 164 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
   2.   The products eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 shall meet the relevant requirements of Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004, and, in particular, shall be prepared in an approved establishment and comply with the health marking requirements laid down in Annex I, Section I, Chapter III to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004.
   Article 2
   Regulation (EU) No 534/2012 is hereby repealed.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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) No 90/2014
   of 31 January 2014
   approving decanoic acid as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 4, 18 and 19
   (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 Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That list includes decanoic acid.

               (2)

               Decanoic acid has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 4, food and feed area disinfectants, product-type 18, insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, and product-type 19, repellents and attractants, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which correspond respectively to product-types 4, 18 and 19 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (3)

               Austria was designated as rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority reports, together with recommendations, to the Commission on 7 December 2010 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.

               (4)

               The competent authority reports were reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 13 December 2013, in two assessment reports.

               (5)

               It appears from those reports that biocidal products used for product-types 4, 18 and 19 and containing decanoic acid may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC.

               (6)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve decanoic acid for use in biocidal products for product-types 4, 18 and 19.

               (7)

               Since the evaluations did not address nanomaterials, the approvals should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (8)

               For the use in product-type 4, the evaluation did not address the incorporation of biocidal products containing decanoic acid in materials and articles intended to come into contact directly or indirectly with food within the meaning of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). Such materials may require the establishment of specific limits on the migration into food, as referred to in Article 5(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. The approval should therefore not cover such use unless the Commission has established such limits or it has been established pursuant to that Regulation that such limits are not necessary.

               (9)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit Member States, interested parties, and the Commission where appropriate, to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed.

               (10)

               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
   Decanoic acid shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 4, 18 and 19, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
      Done at Brussels, 31 January 2014.

                  The product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union level risk assessment of the active substance.
                  Authorisations are subject to the following conditions:

                              For industrial or professional users, safe operational procedures and appropriate organisational measures shall be established. Where exposure cannot be reduced to an acceptable level by other means, products shall be used with appropriate personal protective equipment.

                              For products that may lead to residues in food or feed, the need to set new or to amend existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) shall be verified, and any appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to ensure that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded.

                              Biocidal products containing decanoic acid shall not be incorporated in materials and articles intended to come into contact with food within the meaning of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, unless the Commission has established specific limits on the migration of decanoic acid into food or it has been established pursuant to that Regulation that such limits are not necessary.

                  18

                  The product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union level risk assessment of the active substance.
                  Authorisations are subject to the following conditions:

                              Authorisations of products for non-professional use are subject to the packaging being designed to minimise user exposure, unless it can be demonstrated in the application for product authorisation that risks for human health can be reduced to acceptable levels by other means.

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

                  19

                  The product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union level risk assessment of the active substance.

         (1)  The purity indicated in this column was the minimum degree of purity of the active substance used for the evaluation made in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The active substance in the product placed on the market can be of equal or different purity if it has been proven technically equivalent with the evaluated active substance.

         (2)  For the implementation of the common principles of Annex VI to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the content and conclusions of assessment reports are available on the Commission website: http://ec.europa.eu/comm/environment/biocides/index.htm
