               Commission Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 (2), establishes common rules for notifying information and documents by Member States to the Commission. Those rules cover in particular the obligation for the Member States to use the information systems made available by the Commission and the validation of the access rights of the authorities or individuals authorised to send notifications. Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 also sets common principles applying to the information systems so that they guarantee the authenticity, integrity and legibility over time of the documents and provides for personal data protection. The obligation to use those information systems has to be provided for in each Regulation establishing a specific notification obligation.

               (2)

               The Commission has developed an information system that enables it to manage documents and procedures electronically in its own internal working procedures and in its relations with the authorities involved in the common agricultural policy.

               (3)

               Several communication and notification obligations can be fulfilled through that system, in particular those provided for in Commission Regulations (EC) No 546/2003 (3), (EC) No 1342/2003 (4), (EC) No 952/2006 (5), (EC) No 826/2008 (6), (EC) No 1295/2008 (7), (EC) No 1296/2008 (8), (EU) No 1272/2009 (9), (EU) No 738/2010 (10) and Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 543/2011 (11) and (EU) No 511/2012 (12).

               (4)

               In the interest of efficient administration and taking account of the experience, some notifications obligations should be amended.

                     Arkady Romanovich ROTENBERG,
                     Arkadii Romanovich ROTENBERG
                     (Аркадий Романович РОТЕНБЕРГ)

                     DOB: 15.12.1951
                     POB: Leningrad (Saint Petersburg).

                     Arkady Rotenberg is a prominent Russian businessman who has close personal ties to President Putin. Since March 2014, Rotenberg, or his companies, have received State contracts totalling over USD 7 billion. In 2015, Rotenberg led the annual list of government contracts in terms of value, after being awarded contracts worth 555 billion roubles from the Russian Government. Many of these contracts were awarded without formal competitive processes. On 30 January 2015, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree that awarded to Rotenberg's company, Stroygazmontazh, a State contract for the construction of the Kerch bridge from Russia to the illegally annexed Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Through these contracts he has financially benefited from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea or the destabilisation of eastern Ukraine.
                     He is the owner of the company Stroygazmontazh, which has been awarded a State contract for the construction of the Kerch bridge from Russia to the illegally annexed Autonomous Republic of Crimea, therefore consolidating its integration into the Russian Federation, which in turn further undermines the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Similarly, in January 2017, Stroygazmontazh was awarded the State contract worth 17 billion roubles for the construction of a railway line on the Kerch bridge, which again further undermines the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
                     He is the chairman of the board of directors of publishing house Prosvescheniye, which has notably implemented the project “To the Children of Russia: Address — Crimea”, a public relations campaign that was designed to persuade Crimean children that they are now Russian citizens living in Russia, and thereby supporting the Russian Government's policy to integrate Crimea into Russia.

      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 57(4) and Article 58(2) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2), it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

                  (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.

That period should be set at 3 months.

                  (5)

            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 which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 for a period of 3 months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
      Article 3

                     Description of the goods

                     Classification (CN code)

                     (1)

                     (2)

                     (3)

                     A product (so-called ‘LED dental light’) made of different materials such as glass, plastic and various metals and including several light-emitting diodes (LED). It is presented attached to a pivoting arm. The pivoting arm can either be mounted on a dental chair or e.g. on the wall or ceiling of a dental surgery.
                     It is designed to illuminate the oral cavity during dentistry treatment. The level, colour and pattern of the light produced is specifically for use by dentists.
                     See image (*1)

                     9405 40 99

                     Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3 (c) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 9405 , 9405 40  and 9405 40 99 .
                     Classification under heading 9018  as a medical instrument or appliance is excluded as the heading excludes certain items of complete dental equipment (such as shadowless lamps) when they are presented separately; those items are to be classified in their own respective headings (see also Harmonised System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 9018 , part (II), (ii) and exclusion under part (II)).
                     The product has the characteristics and design of an electric lamp/lighting fitting of heading 9405  which covers electric specialised lamps and lighting fittings that can be constituted of any materials and use any source of light (see also the HSEN to heading 9405 , part (I).
                     The product, which consists of different materials, none of them giving it its essential character, is therefore to be classified under CN code 9405 40 99  as other electric lamps and lighting fittings of other materials than plastics.

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A decorative sprig consisting of artificial flowers (poinsettias), foliage and fruit (conifer twigs and berries). It is made of brocaded textile material, plastics and a metal wire.
                  The product is to be used as a candle decoration. It is presented without the candle and candle holder.

                      (1) See image.

                  6702 90 00

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 6702 and 6702 90 00.
                  The sprig is not to be considered as a festive article of heading 9505 as it is not exclusively designed, manufactured and recognised as a festive article. It does not contain any imprints, ornaments, symbols or inscriptions and accordingly is not to be used for a specific festivity (see also the CN Explanatory Notes to heading 9505).
                  Classification under heading 9505 as a festive article is therefore excluded.
                  It is therefore to be classified under CN code 6702 90 00 as an article made of artificial flowers, foliage and fruit of other materials.

         (1)  The image is purely for information.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1204/2011
   of 18 November 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 Customs Code Committee has not issued an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,

         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.

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                              1.

                              A handheld, interchangeable device comprising a flash lamp, a lens, a trigger button and an indicator light (so-called "intense pulse light (IPL) handpiece").
                              The device generates intense pulsed light at different pulse widths of up to 100 ms, a wavelength of 650-1 200 nm, a spot size of 16 x 46 mm and a maximum fluence of 45 J/cm2.
                              It works only in conjunction with a machine (the "base unit") from which it receives power, control signals and cooling fluid. The "base unit" comprises a power supply, a control unit with a display and a cooling unit and it is also able to work with "laser handpieces".
                              When connected to the "base unit", the device is used for specific cosmetic treatments, for example, permanent hair removal.

                  8543 90 00

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2(b) to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8543 and 8543 90 00.
                  As the intense pulse light generated by the flash lamp is not a laser beam, classification under heading 9013 as a laser is excluded.
                  Given its characteristics and objective properties, namely its construction of an electronic nature, the device is not similar to an interchangeable tool (see note 1(o) to Section XVI). The device when working in conjunction with the "base unit" is identifiable as a working machine which performs an individual function not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85.
                  The device is essential for the functioning of the machine as the machine cannot function without it.
                  The device is therefore to be classified under CN code 8543 90 00 as a part of other electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85.

                              2.

                              A handheld, interchangeable device comprising a solid state laser, a lens, a spot size selection switch and a trigger button (so-called "laser handpiece").
                              The device generates laser light at different pulse widths of up to 100 ms, a wavelength of 1 064 nm, adjustable spot sizes with a diameter of 1,5, 3, 6 and 9 mm and a maximum fluence of 700 J/cm2.
                              It works only in conjunction with a machine (the "base unit") from which it receives power, control signals and cooling fluid. The "base unit" comprises a power supply, a control unit with a display and a cooling unit and it is also able to work with "intense pulse light (IPL) handpieces".
                              When connected to the "base unit", the device is specifically used for cosmetic treatment of leg veins.

                  8543 90 00

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2(b) to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 8543 and 8543 90 00.
                  As the laser is specifically designed for generating laser light with certain pulse widths and spot sizes, the device is adapted to perform a specific function. When working in conjunction with the "base unit", the device is identifiable as a working machine which performs an individual function not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85.
                  Classification under heading 9013 as a laser is therefore excluded (see also HS Explanatory Note to heading 9013 (2), fourth paragraph).
                  Given its characteristics and objective properties, namely its construction of electronic nature, the device is not similar to an interchangeable tool (see note 1(o) to Section XVI).
                  The device is essential for the functioning of the machine as the machine cannot function without it.
                  The device is therefore to be classified under CN code 8543 90 00 as a part of other electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 586/2014
   of 2 June 2014
   derogating from Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 as regards the prohibition to fish above protected habitats and the minimum distance from the coast and depth for the ‘gangui’ trawlers fishing in certain territorial waters of France (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur)
   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 Articles 4(5) and 13(5) and (10) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 prohibits fishing with trawl nets, dredges, purse seines, boat seines, shore seines or similar nets above seagrass beds of, in particular, Posidonia oceanica or other marine phanerogams.

               (2)

               The Commission may allow a derogation from Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006, provided that the conditions set out in Article 4(5) are fulfilled.

               (3)

               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.

               (4)

               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 the conditions set out in Article 13(5) and(9) are fulfilled.

               (5)

               On 18 May 2011 the Commission received a request from France for a derogation from the first subparagraph of Article 4(1), from the first subparagraph of Article 13(1) and from Article 13(2) of that Regulation, for the use of ‘gangui’ trawlers in certain sea areas situated within the territorial waters of France, above seagrass beds of Posidonia oceanica and within 3 nautical miles from the coast, irrespective of the depth.

               (6)

               France provided up-to-date scientific and technical justifications for the derogations.

               (7)

               The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) assessed the derogation requested by France and the related draft management plan at its plenary session held from 11 to 15 July 2011.

               (8)

               The derogations requested by France comply with the conditions laid down in Article 4(5) and in Article 13(5) and (9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.

               (9)

               The request concerns fishing activities by vessels of less than or equal to 12 meters overall length and engine power of less than or equal to 85 kW with bottom towed nets traditionally undertaken on Posidonia beds, in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.

               (10)

               The fishing activities concerned affect approximately 27,5 % of the area covered by seagrass beds of Posidonia oceanica within the area covered by the management plan and 9 % of seagrass beds in the territorial waters of France, in line with the requirements of points (ii) and (iii) of the first subparagraph of Article 4(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.

               (11)

               There are specific geographical constraints given the limited size of the continental shelf.

               (12)

               The fishery has no significant impact on marine environment.

               (13)

               The derogation requested by France affects a limited number of only 36 vessels.

               (14)

               The fishery conducted with ‘gangui’ trawlers target a wide variety of species which correspond to an ecological niche; the catch composition of this fishery, in particular as regards the number of species caught, is not reflected in any other fishing gear. Therefore, the fishery cannot be undertaken with other gears.

               (15)

               The management plan guarantees no future increase in the fishing effort, as fishing authorisations will be issued only to specified 36 vessels involving a total effort of 1 745 kW that are already authorised to fish by France.

               (16)

               The request covers vessels with a track record in the fishery of more than five years and which operate under a management plan adopted by France on 15 April 2014 (2) in accordance with Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.

               (17)

               Those vessels are included on a list communicated to the Commission in line with the requirements of Article 13(9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.

               (18)

               The fishing activities concerned fulfil the requirements of Article 4, Article 8(1)(h) and Article 9(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.

               (19)

               The fishing activities concerned fulfil the recording requirements set out in Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 (3).

               (20)

               The fishing activities concerned do not interfere with the activities of vessels using gears other than trawls, seines or similar towed nets.

               (21)

               The activity of ‘gangui’ trawlers is regulated in the French management plan to ensure that catches of species mentioned in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 are minimal.

               (22)

               ‘Gangui’ trawlers do not target cephalopods.

               (23)

               The French management plan includes measures for the monitoring of fishing activities, as provided for in the fifth subparagraph of Article 4(5) and in the third subparagraph of Article 13(9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.

               (24)

               The requested derogations should therefore be granted.

               (25)

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

               (26)

               A limitation in duration of the derogation should be established in order to allow prompt corrective management measures in case the report to the Commission shows a poor conservation status of the exploited stock while providing scope to improve the scientific basis for an improved management plan.

               (27)

               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
   Derogations

   (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 19 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 686/2012 (2) allocates the evaluation of each active substance to a rapporteur Member State and a co-rapporteur Member State. Upon request of the applicant and in agreement with the Member States concerned, it is considered necessary to change the rapporteur Member State for mecoprop-P while respecting the balance as regards the distribution of the responsibilities and the work between Member States. The evaluation for the purposes of the renewal procedures for mecoprop-P should from now on be allocated to the United Kingdom.

               (2)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 686/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (3)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
