   concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 as a feed additive for chickens reared for laying and minor poultry species other than those used for laying (holder of authorisation Lactosan GmbH & Co KG)
   (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 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.

               (2)

               In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for a new use of a preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (3)

               The application concerns a request of a new use of a preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 as a feed additive for chickens reared for laying and minor poultry species other than those used for laying, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

               (4)

               The use of that preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 was authorised for 10 years, for piglets and pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 538/2007 (2), for sows by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1521/2007 (3), and for chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EU) No 998/2010 (4).

               (5)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 12 March 2013 (5) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment, and that since the potential to improve zootechnical parameters was already demonstrated in chickens for fattening, this conclusion can be extended to chickens reared for laying and extrapolated to minor poultry species other than those used for laying. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (6)

               The assessment of the preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of this preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (7)

               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
   The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that 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.

   of 9 November 2012
   for the purposes of Council Regulation (EC) No 116/2009 on the export of cultural goods
   (codification)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 116/2009 of 18 December 2008 on the export of cultural goods (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EEC) No 752/93 of 30 March 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92 on the export of cultural goods (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.

               (2)

               Provisions are required for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 116/2009, which provides, inter alia, for the establishment of an export licensing system for certain categories of cultural goods listed in Annex I to that Regulation.

               (3)

               In order to ensure that the export licences provided for by the said Regulation are uniform, rules governing the drawing up, issuing and use of the form are necessary. To that end a specimen licence should be made available.

               (4)

               In order to eliminate unnecessary administrative work, a concept of open licences for the temporary export of cultural goods by responsible persons or organisations for use and/or for exhibition in third countries is required.

               (5)

               Member States that wish to take advantage of such facilities should be able to do so in relation to their own cultural goods, persons and organisations. The conditions to be fulfilled will differ from Member State to Member State. The Member States should be able to opt for the use of open licences or not and lay down the conditions to be met for their issue.

               (6)

               Export licences should be made out in one of the official languages of the Union.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 116/2009,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   SECTION I

      FORM OF LICENCE

   Article 1
   1.   There shall be three types of licences for the export of cultural goods which shall be issued and used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 116/2009 and with this Regulation:

         EXPLANATORY NOTES

      1.   General

                  1.1.

                  Licences are required for the export of cultural goods to protect the cultural heritage of the Member States pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 116/2009.
                  Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1081/2012 sets out the form in which standard export licences are to be drawn up. It is intended to guarantee standardised checks on the export of cultural goods outside the borders of the Union.
                  Two other types of export licence are provided for, namely:

                              —

                              specific open licences, to be issued for specific cultural goods which are liable to be temporarily exported from the Union on a regular basis for use and/or exhibition in a third country,

                              —

                              general open licences, to be issued to museums or other institutions to cover the temporary export of any of the goods that belong to their permanent collections that are liable to be temporarily exported from the Union on a regular basis for exhibition in a third country.

                  1.2.

                  The three sheets of the standard export licence form must be completed legibly and indelibly, preferably by mechanical or electronic means. If they are handwritten, they must be completed in ink and in capital letters. They must under no circumstances contain erasures, overwritten words or other alterations.

                  1.3.

                  Any unused box must be lined crossed out so that nothing can be added.
                  The sheets can be identified by their numbering and function, indicated in the left-hand margin. Their order in the set is as follows:
                  —   Sheet No 1: application to be kept by the issuing authority (indicate in each Member State the identity of that authority); in the case of additional lists, as many sheets No 1 as necessary must be used; it is up to the competent issuing authorities to establish whether more than one export licence should be issued,
                  —   Sheet No 2: to be presented in support of the export declaration at the competent customs office of export and kept by the licence holder after it has been stamped by that office,
                  —   Sheet No 3: to be presented at the competent customs office of export and to accompany the consignment thereafter until its arrival at the customs office of exit from the customs territory of the Union; the customs office of exit stamps this sheet and then returns it to the issuing authority.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 961/2011
   of 27 September 2011
   imposing special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station and repealing Regulation (EU) No 297/2011
   (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 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53 (1) (b)(ii) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 provides for the possibility to adopt appropriate Union emergency measures for food and feed imported from a third country in order to protect public health, animal health or the environment, where the risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member States individually.

               (2)

               Following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station on 11 March 2011, the Commission was informed that radionuclide levels in certain food products originating in Japan such as milk and spinach exceeded the action levels in food applicable in Japan. Such contamination may constitute a threat to public and animal health in the Union and therefore Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 imposing special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station (2) was adopted.

               (3)

               Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 has been amended at several occasions to take into account the development of the situation. These amendments concerned the adoption of maximum levels of radioactivity to be applied for feed and food originating from Japan, addition of prefectures to the zone for which specific restrictions apply after contamination in these prefectures was found at levels above the maximum levels and removing prefectures from the zone with restrictions in case extensive monitoring has provided evidence that these prefectures were not affected to a significant extent by radioactive contamination.

               (4)

               Since mid July 2011, the Commission was informed by the Japanese authorities of findings of high levels of caesium in beef from cattle grown in different prefectures in Japan. As the import of beef from Japan into the EU is not allowed for animal and public health reasons other than radioactivity, these findings do not affect the European consumer. Also recently, new food products have been found to contain levels of radioactivity above the maximum levels. These findings and the fact that new/other agricultural/horticultural crops are grown and harvested in the contaminated zone provide evidence that it is appropriate to maintain the current measures after 30 September 2011. It is therefore appropriate to continue to implement the present Regulation until 31 December 2011, instead of 30 September 2011 as initially foreseen. The principle of a monthly review of the implementation of the Regulation is maintained.

               (5)

               Given that Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 has been amended several times in a short period of time it is appropriate to replace Regulation (EU) No 297/2011 by a new Regulation.

               (6)

               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
   Scope
   This Regulation shall apply to feedstuffs and foodstuffs within the meaning of Article 1 (2) of Regulation (Euratom) No 3954/87 (3) originating in or consigned from Japan, with the exclusion of products which left Japan before 28 March 2011 and of products which have been harvested and/or processed before 11 March 2011.
