title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1070 of 20 July 2020 on specifying the characteristics of small-area wireless access points pursuant to Article 57 paragraph 2 of Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of the European Parliament and the Council establishing the European Electronic Communications Code (Text with EEA relevance)

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/1070
         of 20 July 2020
         on specifying the characteristics of small-area wireless access points pursuant to Article 57 paragraph 2 of Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of the European Parliament and the Council establishing the European Electronic Communications Code
         (Text with EEA relevance)
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Directive (EU) 2018/1972 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 establishing the European Electronic Communications Code (1), and in particular Article 57(2) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     As recognised by Directive (EU) 2018/1972, since low power small-area wireless access points are likely to have a positive impact on the use of radio spectrum and on the development of wireless communications in the Union, the deployment of small-area wireless access points should be facilitated through a permit-exempt deployment regime.

                     (2)

                     A small-area wireless access point comprises different operational elements, such as a signal processing unit, a radiofrequency unit, an antenna system, cable connections and casing. In some cases, the antenna system or portions thereof could be installed separately from the other elements of a small-area wireless access point and connected by one or more dedicated cables. This concept is used for distributed antenna systems or a distributed radio system used by one or multiple operators. A small-area wireless access point may be designed to serve two or more radio spectrum users.

                     (3)

                     In order to ensure public acceptance and sustainable deployment, small-area wireless access points subject to the second subparagraph of Article 57(1) of Directive (EU) 2018/1972 should have minimal visual impact. To achieve this, they should be either invisible to the general public or mounted in a visually non-obtrusive way onto their supporting structure. Their operation should also ensure a high level of protection of public health, as laid down in Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC (2).

                     (4)

                     Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) provides that radio equipment, including a small-area wireless access point, is to be constructed so as to ensure the protection of people’s health and safety.

                     (5)

                     The physical and technical characteristics of small-area wireless access points subject to the second subparagraph of Article 57(1) of Directive (EU) 2018/1972 should therefore be defined in terms of maximum volume, restrictions on weight and maximum emission power. The choice of maximum volume to delimit the visual impact of a small-area wireless access point should allow design flexibility and adaptability to the physical and technical characteristics of the supporting structure.

                     (6)

                     The study for the Commission ‘Light Deployment Regime for Small-Area Wireless Access Points (SAWAPs) (4)’ demonstrates that a volume limit of 30 litres should be sufficient to contain the main elements of a small-area wireless access point, while ensuring its unobtrusive character. That maximum volume should apply to any deployment of a small-area wireless access point serving one or more radio spectrum users, as well as of multiple small-area wireless access points sharing an infrastructure site of small surface, such as a light pole, a traffic light, a billboard or a bus stop, which due to its physical dimensions or dense replication in a given area, or both, is likely to generate visual clutter.

                     (7)

                     Small-area wireless access points should comply with the European standard EN 62232:2017 (5)‘Determination of RF field strength, power density and specific absorption rate (SAR) in the vicinity of radiocommunication base stations for the purpose of evaluating human exposure’. That standard provides a methodology for the installation of base stations taking into account their emission power for the purpose of evaluating human exposure to the electro-magnetic fields (‘EMF’) and is in compliance with the limits set in Recommendation 1999/519/EC. That standard is also referenced in Section 6.1 of the European harmonised standard EN 50401:2017 ‘Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of base station equipment with radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure limits (110 MHz–100 GHz), when put into service’, in relation to the assessment of the compliance of wireless access point put into service in its operational environment with the EMF exposure limits set in Recommendation 1999/519/EC.

                     (8)

                     Standard EN 62232:2017 applies to all type of base stations divided into five installation classes corresponding to different limits of their equivalent isotropical radiated power (EIRP) of a few milliwatt (Class E0), 2 Watt (Class E2), 10 Watt (Class E10), 100 Watt (Class E100) and above 100 Watt (Class E+) respectively. Out of those classes, considering the installation safety distances to be respected under that standard and since Directive (EU) 2018/1972 provides that small-area wireless access points should be low power equipment, this Regulation should only apply to the installation classes E0, E2 and E10. Table 2 of clause 6.2.4 of EN 62232:2017 requires that the lowest radiating part of the antenna of a Class E10 has a height of at least 2,2 metres above the general public walkway to ensure a distance of at least 20 cm between the main antenna lobe and the human body of a 2 m tall person (6).

                     (9)

                     For aesthetic reasons, the indoor installation of small-area wireless access points of Class E10, which are likely to utilise the maximum volume limit of 30 litres, should be allowed only in large indoor spaces with a ceiling height of at least 4 metres, such as museums, stadiums, convention centres, airports, metro-transport stations, railway stations, or shopping centres.

                     (10)

                     A small-area wireless access point should not endanger the stability of the whole support structure it is installed on, and therefore not impose, due to its weight or shape, any structural reinforcement of the support structure used.

                     (11)

                     In order to allow supervision and monitoring by the competent authorities, in particular in cases of multiple adjacent or co-located small-area wireless access points, any operator which deploys small-area wireless access points of Classes E2 or E10 in compliance with the characteristics laid down in this Regulation, should inform the competent authority about the installation in a timely manner. To this end, the operator should submit, no later than two weeks after the installation, a notification to the competent authority about the installation, which includes the location and the technical characteristics of those access points as well as a statement of compliance of the installation with the provisions of this Regulation. In order to ensure an easy process in all Member States, this notification should be submitted to a single information point, such as the one established pursuant to Directive 2014/61/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (7).

                     (12)

                     This Regulation should be without prejudice to the powers of the Member States to determine the aggregate levels of EMF resulting from the colocation or the aggregation in a local area of small-area wireless access points covered by the second subparagraph of Article 57(1) of Directive (EU) 2018/1972, as well as other types of base stations, in order to ensure their compliance with applicable aggregate exposure limits in accordance with Union law by means other than individual permits related to the deployment of small-area wireless access points.

                     (13)

                     As further development of the relevant standards is foreseen, if they are to cover small-area wireless access points employing active antenna systems, such access points should not fall in the scope of the permit-exempt deployment regime at this stage.

                     (14)

                     The application of this Regulation should be regularly monitored in order to facilitate its review taking into account any update of the European standard EN 62232 or other relevant developments in standardisation, in particular with regard to the use of active antenna systems, the technological evolution with regard to the state-of-the-art technology of the small-area wireless access points, the needs to support multiple bands and shared (multi-operator) solutions, as well as any update of Recommendation 1999/519/EC.

                     (15)

                     This Regulation should be without prejudice to national measures regarding safety, utility supply, respect of private property including the right of owners to determine the use of their property, as well as regarding the rights of way related to the connection of the small-area wireless access point with wide-area network in compliance with Union law.

                     (16)

                     This Regulation should be without prejudice to the application of any less restrictive regimes at national level for the deployment of small-area wireless access points.

                     (17)

                     As Directive (EU) 2018/1972 becomes applicable from 21 December 2020, this Regulation should apply from the same date.

                     (18)

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

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            This Regulation lays down the physical and technical characteristics of small-area wireless access points referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 57(1) of Directive (EU) 2018/1972.
            This Regulation shall not apply to small-area wireless access points with an active antenna system.

            Article 2
            For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:

                        (1)

                        ‘equivalent isotropicalally radiated power (EIRP)’ means the product of the power supplied to the antenna and the antenna gain in a given direction relative to an isotropic antenna (absolute or isotropic gain);

                        (2)

                        ‘antenna system’ means a hardware part of a small-area wireless access point that radiates radio frequency energy for the purpose of providing wireless connectivity to end users;

                        (3)

                        ‘active antenna system (AAS)’ means an antenna system where the amplitude or phase, or both, between antenna elements is continually adjusted resulting in an antenna pattern that varies in response to short term changes in the radio environment; this excludes long-term beam shaping such as fixed electrical down tilt; in a small-area wireless access point equipped with an AAS, the latter is integrated as part of the small-area wireless access point;

                        (4)

                        ‘indoor’ means any space, including transportation vehicles, that has a ceiling or roof or any fixed or moveable structure or device which is capable of covering all that space, and except for doors, windows and passageways, is wholly enclosed by walls or sides, either permanently or temporarily, regardless of the type of material used for the roof, wall or sides, and regardless of whether the structure is permanent or temporary;

                        (5)

                        ‘outdoor’ means any space which is not indoor.

                           be fully and safely integrated in their supporting structure and therefore invisible to the general public; or

                           (b)

                           meet the conditions set out in point A of the Annex to this Regulation.

               2.   Paragraph 1 is without prejudice to powers of the Member States to determine the aggregate levels of electro-magnetic fields resulting from the colocation or the aggregation in a local area of small-area wireless access points, and to ensure compliance with applicable aggregate electro-magnetic fields exposure limits in accordance with Union law by means other than individual permits related to the deployment of small-area wireless access points.

               3.   Operators which have deployed small-area wireless access points of Classes E2 or E10 complying with the conditions laid down in paragraph 1, shall notify the national competent authority within two weeks from the deployment of each such point about the installation and location of those access points as well as the requirements they meet in accordance with that paragraph.

            Article 4

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/1296
         of 16 September 2020
         amending Regulation (EC) No 88/97 on the authorization of the exemption of imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People's Republic of China from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93
         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 Regulation’), and in particular Article 13(4) thereof,
         Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of 10 January 1997 extending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 on bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China to imports of certain bicycle parts from the People's Republic of China, and levying the extended duty on such imports registered under Regulation (EC) No 703/96 (2), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     An anti-dumping duty (‘the extended duty’) currently applies on imports into the Union of essential bicycle parts originating in the People's Republic of China (‘the PRC’) as a result of the extension by Regulation (EC) No 71/97.

                     (2)

                     Pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 71/97 an exemption scheme should be established in order to authorize the exemption of imports of essential bicycle parts which do not circumvent the anti-dumping duty. That exemption was set out in Article 13(4) (‘the Exemption Scheme’) of the basic Regulation. The Exemption Scheme exempts assemblers that are not circumventing the anti-dumping measure on bicycles to import Chinese bicycle parts free of anti-dumping duty.

                     (3)

                     The legal framework for operating the Exemption Scheme was provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 (3) (‘the Exemption Regulation’). The Exemption Regulation was amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 512/2013 (4), inter alia to introduce ‘end-use-control’ provisions intended for the assembly of electrical bicycles.

                     (4)

                     Following a review of the extension of the anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of bicycles originating in the PRC to imports of certain bicycle parts from the PRC pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission, by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1379 (5), decided to maintain the anti-circumvention measures for another five years.

                     (5)

                     As provided in recital (44) of Regulation (EC) No 71/97, the Commission keeps the exemption system constantly under review so that it can be adapted where necessary to take account of experience gained with the operation of that system.

                     (6)

                     Under the Exemption Scheme, as set out in Article 14 of the Exemption Regulation, imported bicycle parts could be used for the assembly of electrical cycles under an ‘end-use control’ authorisation. However, that Article applies only to non-exempted bicycle assemblers. There should also be a procedure enabling exempted Union bicycle assemblers to import essential bicycle parts for the assembly of electric bicycles.

                     (7)

                     In this respect, the Commission notes that the bicycle market in the Union is very dynamic, and the exempted bicycle assemblers produce both electrical and non-motorized bicycles.

                     (8)

                     The parts for the assembly of electrical bicycles are not subject to the extended anti-dumping duty. Therefore, the assembly operations of electrical bicycles remain outside the scope of Regulation (EC) No 71/97. Recital (11) to Regulation (EU) No 512/2013 confirmed that the use of essential bicycle parts for the assembly of electrical bicycles was not intended to be subject to the extended anti-dumping duty on bicycles. Indeed, ‘[] the current scheme is unclear in respect of imports of bicycle parts used for the assembly of cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor, with or without side-cars, sometimes referred to as electrical bicycles or pedelecs. Complete electrical bicycles and consequently the parts for the assembly of electrical bicycles are subject neither to the anti-dumping duty nor to the extended anti-dumping duty i.e. the assembly operations of electrical bikes remain outside the scope of Regulation (EC) No 71/97. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to extend the existing provisions under Article 14 for ‘end use control’ of parts intended for the assembly of electrical bicycles. The ‘end-use-control’ provisions enable national customs authorities to trace the final use of imported parts, i.e. use for assembly of classical bicycles or electrical bicycles.’.

                     (9)

                     Having reviewed the experience gained in operating the Exemption Scheme, the Commission considers it necessary to introduce certain amendments to facilitate the operation of the Exemption Scheme for the exempted bicycle assemblers.

                     (10)

                     The Exemption Scheme should set out the relevant provisions in respect of assemblers of vehicles other than cycles, whether or not electric, for example certain scooters (6), where bicycle parts such as wheels, forks and handlebars can also be used in the production. Certain scooters are subject neither to the anti-dumping duty nor to the extended anti-dumping duty so that the assembly operations of scooters remain outside the scope of the extending Regulation. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to extend the existing provisions under Article 14 of the Exemption Regulation for ‘end-use-control’ of parts intended for the assembly of other products using bicycle parts. The ‘end-use-control’ provisions enable national customs authorities to trace the final use of imported parts, i.e. used to assemble cycles, whether or not electric, or vehicles other than cycles, whether or not electric.

                     (11)

                     The Exemption Scheme should also set out the relevant provisions in respect of assemblers of bicycle parts such as brake systems, where bicycle parts like brake levers can also be used in the production of brake systems. It is considered necessary that assemblers of bicycle parts are made subject to the same rules as assemblers of complete bicycles, in particular the obligations of exempted parties referred to in Article 8 of the Exemption Regulation.

                     (12)

                     Against this background and for reasons of legal certainty, it is considered appropriate to extend the scope of the exemption of the imports of essential bicycle parts that are used in the assembly of vehicles other than cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor. To that end, Articles 1, 4(1)(a), 8(1)(b) and 14(d) of the Exemption Regulation are to be amended accordingly.

                     (13)

                     In addition, essential bicycle parts may be supplied by exempted bicycle producers to their customers for the purpose of after-sales services and warranty claims without being subject to the anti-circumvention duty. In this respect, the Commission considers that the exempted essential bicycle parts could be used for after-sales services and provision of warranty. The ceiling as defined in Article 14(c) of the Exemption Regulation does not apply to such parts supplied by exempted parties. It is however emphasized that the quantities supplied for such purpose must be reasonable and proportionate to the assembly operation of the exempted party in accordance with Article 8 of the Exemption Regulation, and must not undermine the remedial effects of the duty pursuant to Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation.

                     (14)

                     In accordance with the principle of sound administration, the amendments to the Exemption Regulation provided for in this Regulation are to apply as soon as possible to all new and to all pending investigations.

                     (15)

                     Regulation (EC) No 88/97 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (16)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            Regulation (EC) No 88/97 is amended as follows:

                        (1)

                        The definition of ‘assembly operation’ in Article 1 is replaced by the following:
                        ‘‘assembly operation’ means an operation in which essential bicycle parts are brought in for the assembly or completion of bicycles, or for the production or assembly of bicycle parts.’

                        (2)

                        Article 4(1)(a) is replaced by the following:

                                    ‘(a)

                                    it contains evidence that the applicant is using essential bicycle parts for the production or assembly of bicycles or bicycle parts in quantities above the threshold set out in Article 14(c) or that the applicant has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to do so;’

                        (3)

                        Article 8(1)(b) is replaced by the following:

                                    ‘(b)

                                    where it receives deliveries of essential bicycle parts which have been exempted from the extended duty pursuant to Article 2, those parts are either used in its assembly operations or assembly of other products, destroyed, re-exported, or resold to another exempted party.’

                        (4)

                        Article 14(d) is replaced by the following:

                                    ‘(d)

                                    the essential bicycle parts are used in the assembly of cycles fitted with an auxiliary motor (TARIC additional code 8835) or of vehicles other than cycles, whether or not fitted with an auxiliary motor (TARIC additional code C549).’

            Article 2
            This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

            It shall apply to all new and to all pending investigations as of its entry into force.

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

                           Date of listing

                           ‘1.

                           GAO Qiang

                           Date of birth: 4 October 1983
                           Place of birth: Shandong Province, China
                           Address: Room 1102, Guanfu Mansion, 46 Xinkai Road, Hedong District, Tianjin, China
                           Nationality: Chinese
                           Gender: male

                           Gao Qiang is involved in "Operation Cloud Hopper", a series of cyber-attacks with a significant effect originating from outside the Union and constituting an external threat to the Union or its Member States and of cyber-attacks with a significant effect against third States.
                           "Operation Cloud Hopper" has targeted information systems of multinational companies in six continents, including companies located in the Union, and gained unauthorised access to commercially sensitive data, resulting in significant economic loss.
                           The actor publicly known as "APT10" ("Advanced Persistent Threat 10") (a.k.a. "Red Apollo", "CVNX", "Stone Panda", "MenuPass" and "Potassium") carried out "Operation Cloud Hopper".
                           Gao Qiang can be linked to APT10, including through his association with APT10 command and control infrastructure. Moreover, Huaying Haitai, an entity designated for providing support to and facilitating "Operation Cloud Hopper", employed Gao Qiang. He has links with Zhang Shilong, who is also designated in connection with "Operation Cloud Hopper". Gao Qiang is therefore associated with both Huaying Haitai and Zhang Shilong.
