         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1274/2011
   of 7 December 2011
   concerning a coordinated multiannual control programme of the Union for 2012, 2013 and 2014 to ensure compliance with maximum residue levels of pesticides and to assess the consumer exposure to pesticide residues in and on food of plant and animal origin
   (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 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council Directive 91/414/EEC (1), in particular Articles 28 and 29 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1213/2008 (2) a first coordinated multiannual Community programme, covering the years 2009, 2010 and 2011, was established. That programme continued under consecutive Commission Regulations. The latest one was Commission Regulation (EU) No 915/2010 of 12 October 2010 concerning a coordinated multiannual control programme of the Union for 2011, 2012 and 2013 to ensure compliance with maximum levels of and to assess the consumer exposure to pesticide residues in and on food of plant and animal origin (3).

               (2)

               Thirty to forty foodstuffs constitute the major components of the diet in the Union. Since pesticide uses show significant changes over a period of three years, pesticides should be monitored in those foodstuffs over a series of three-year cycles to allow consumer exposure and the application of Union legislation to be assessed.

               (3)

               On the basis of a binomial probability distribution, it can be calculated that examination of 642 samples allows, with a certainty of more than 99 %, the detection of a sample containing pesticide residues above the limit of determination (LOD), provided that not less than 1 % of the products contain residues above that limit. Collection of these samples should be apportioned among Member States according to population numbers, with a minimum of 12 samples per product and per year.

               (4)

               Analytical results from the 2009 EU official control programme (4) have shown that certain pesticides are more commonly present on agricultural products than previously, indicating changes in the use pattern of those pesticides. Those pesticides should be included in the control programme in addition to those which were covered under Regulation (EU) No 915/2010 in order to make sure that the range of pesticides covered by the control programme is representative of the pesticides used.

               (5)

               The analysis of certain pesticides, in particular those added to the control programme by this Regulation or those with very difficult residue definition, should be optional in 2012 in order to allow time, for official laboratories to validate the methods required for the analysis of those pesticides, in case they have not yet done so.

               (6)

               Where the residue definition of a pesticide includes other active substances, metabolites or breakdown products, those metabolites should be reported separately.

               (7)

               Guidance concerning ‘Method Validation and Quality Control Procedures for Pesticide Residue Analysis in food and feed’ is published on the Commission website (5). Member States should be allowed, under certain conditions, to use qualitative screening methods.

               (8)

               Implementing measures, such as the Standard Sample Description (SSD) (6) for submitting results of pesticide residues analysis, relating to the submission of information by Member States have been agreed by Member States, Commission and EFSA

               (9)

               For the sampling procedures Commission Directive 2002/63/EC of 11 July 2002 establishing Community methods of sampling for the official control of pesticide residues in and on products of plant and animal origin and repealing Directive 79/700/EEC (7) which incorporates the sampling methods and procedures recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission should apply.

               (10)

               It is necessary to assess whether maximum residue levels for baby food provided for in Article 10 of Commission Directive 2006/141/EC of 22 December 2006 on infant formulae and follow-on formulae (8) and Article 7 of Commission Directive 2006/125/EC of 5 December 2006 on processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for infants and young children (9) are respected, taking into account only the residue definitions as they are set out in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.

               (11)

               It is also necessary to assess possible aggregate, cumulative and synergistic effects of pesticides when methodology becomes available. This assessment should start with some organophosphates, carbamates, triazoles and pyrethroides, as set out in Annex I.

               (12)

               As regards single residue methods Member States may be able to meet their obligations of analysis by having recourse to official laboratories already having the validated methods required.

               (13)

               Member States should submit by 31 August of each year the information concerning the previous calendar year.

               (14)

               In order to avoid any confusion due to an overlap between consecutive multiannual programmes, Regulation (EU) No 915/2010 should be repealed in the interest of legal certainty. It should, however, continue to apply to samples tested in 2011.

               (15)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Member States shall, during the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 take and analyse samples for the pesticide/product combinations, as set out in Annex I.
   The number of samples of each product shall be as set out in Annex II.
   Article 2
   1.   The lot to be sampled shall be chosen randomly.
   The sampling procedure, including the number of units, shall comply with Directive 2002/63/EC.
   2.   Samples shall be analysed in accordance with the residue definitions set out in Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Where no explicit residue definition is set out in that Regulation for a particular pesticide, the residue definition as set out in Annex I to this Regulation shall apply.
   Article 3
   1.   Member States shall submit the results of the analysis of samples tested in 2012, 2013 and 2014 by 31 August 2013, 2014 and 2015 respectively. Those results shall be submitted in accordance with the Standard Sample Description (SSD), as set out in Annex III.
   2.   Where the residue definition of a pesticide includes active substances, metabolites and/or breakdown or reaction products, Member States shall report the analysis results in accordance with the legal residue definition. The results of each of the main isomers or metabolites mentioned in the residue definition shall be submitted separately, as far as they are measured individually.
   Article 4
   Regulation (EU) No 915/2010 is repealed.
   However, it shall continue to apply to samples tested in 2011.
   Article 5
   This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2012.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/760
   of 13 May 2016
   on exceptional support measures for the eggs and poultrymeat sectors in Italy
   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 220(1)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               On 15 December 2014, highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N8 was confirmed and notified by Italy. The outbreak of that disease was confirmed in a commercial holding of male fattening turkeys located in the municipality of Porto Viro, Province of Rovigo, Veneto Region in Italy.

               (2)

               Italy immediately and efficiently took all the necessary animal health and veterinary measures required in accordance with Council Directive 2005/94/EC (2).

               (3)

               In particular, the Italian authorities took control, monitoring and preventive measures and established protection and surveillance zones pursuant to Commission Implementing Decision 2014/936/EU (3). By doing so, they were able to rapidly eradicate the threat. Union and national animal health and veterinary measures were applied until 16 February 2015 in all holdings except for the holding keeping male fattening turkeys, in which measures were applied until 25 February 2015.

               (4)

               On 23 June 2015, the Italian authorities informed the Commission that the necessary animal health and veterinary measures, which had been applied to contain and eradicate the spread of the virus, had affected certain operators and that those operators suffered income losses not eligible for Union financial contribution under Regulation (EU) No 652/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).

               (5)

               On 23 June 2015, the Commission received a formal request from the Italian authorities for part-financing of certain exceptional support measures pursuant to Article 220(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. The Italian authorities clarified their request on 11 and 27 January 2016.

               (6)

               As a result of the animal health and veterinary measures applied, the placing of birds into holdings fattening capons, golden chickens, standard chickens and turkeys located in the protection and surveillance zones was delayed and a breeding turkeys' holding located in such zones could not produce hatching eggs. This led to a loss of production of meat from fattening capons, golden chickens, standard chickens and turkeys, and a loss of production of hatching eggs from breeding turkeys during the period when the animal health and veterinary measures were in place. It is therefore appropriate to compensate these losses.

               (7)

               As a result of the animal health and veterinary measures applied, chickens originating from several holdings located in the protection zone were immediately slaughtered and the meat obtained from these chickens was either heat treated in accordance with Article 23 of Directive 2005/94/EC or frozen in order to ease the progressive sale of the frozen poultrymeat in the protection zone. The losses due to the difference in values between fresh poultrymeat and heat treated or frozen poultrymeat should therefore be compensated.

               (8)

               In accordance with Article 220(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 the Union part-financing is equivalent to 50 % of the expenditure borne by Italy for the exceptional support measures. The maximum quantities eligible for financing in respect of each exceptional market support measure should be fixed by the Commission after scrutinising the request received from Italy.

               (9)

               To avoid any risk of overcompensation, a flat rate amount of part-financing should be fixed at an appropriate level for each product.

               (10)

               The species affected are chickens (capons, golden chickens and standard chickens) and turkeys (male and female) raised for meat, turkey hatching eggs and heat treated or frozen chicken meat.

               (11)

               To avoid any risk of double funding, losses suffered should not have been compensated by State aid or insurances and the Union part-financing under this Regulation should be limited to eligible products for which no Union financial contribution has been received under Regulation (EU) No 652/2014.

               (12)

               The extent and duration of the exceptional support measures provided for in this Regulation should be limited to what is strictly necessary to support the market concerned.

               (13)

               For the sake of a sound budgetary management of these exceptional support measures, only those payments made by Italy to the beneficiaries by 30 September 2016 at the latest, will be eligible for Union part financing. Article 5(2) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 907/2014 (5) should not be applicable.

               (14)

               In order to ensure the eligibility and the correctness of the payments, the Italian authorities should carry out ex-ante checks.

               (15)

               To allow the Union to perform its financial control, the Italian authorities should communicate to the Commission the clearance of the payments.

               (16)

               In order to ensure an immediate implementation of these measures by Italy, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication.

               (17)

               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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 194/2012
   of 8 March 2012
   fixing the amount of private storage aid for certain fishery products in the 2012 fishing year
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 of 17 December 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products (1),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2813/2000 of 21 December 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 as regards the grant of private storage aid for certain fishery products (2), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Private storage aid should not exceed the sum of technical and financial costs recorded in the Union during the fishing year preceding the year in question.

               (2)

               To discourage long-term storage, to shorten payment times and to reduce the burden of controls, private storage aid should be paid in one single instalment.

               (3)

               In order not to hinder the operation of the intervention system in the year 2012, this Regulation should apply retroactively from 1 January 2012.
