         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 956/2013
   of 4 October 2013
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 as regards payment of the aid to producer organisations in the fruit and vegetables sector
   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 103h in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 (2) provide for Union financial assistance to producer organisations for fruit and vegetables.

               (2)

               The General Court by judgment of 30 May 2013 in joined cases T-454/10 and T-482/11 (3) annulled the second subparagraph of Article 52(2a) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 (4) and the equivalent Article 50(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 as regards the calculation of the value of marketed production of fruit and vegetables intended for processing. The General Court annulled also Article 60(7) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 on eligibility of actions under operational programmes, as regards investments and actions related to the transformation of fruit and vegetables into processed fruit and vegetables.

               (3)

               The General Court’s judgment maintained the effects of the provision on the calculation of the value of marketed production to the extent only that the relevant payments have already been executed until the date of delivery of the judgment. Consequently, Member States may have suspended or delayed payments pending either the adoption of new rules replacing the annulled ones or the suspensory effects of an appeal.

               (4)

               The Commission decided to bring an appeal against the decision of the General Court in the above mentioned cases. The appeal was filed with the Court of the European Union on the 12 August 2013. Pending the decision of the Court in the appeal, and unless otherwise provided by the Court the effects of the judgment of the General Court are suspended.

               (5)

               Article 70 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 provides that the aid to producer organisations has to be paid by 15 October of the year following the year of implementation of the operational programme. If the aid is paid after this date, the reductions provided for in Article 9 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2006 (5) should apply.

               (6)

               It is therefore appropriate to extend the time limit for Member States to pay the Union financial assistance for the operational programmes concerned as regards implementing year 2012, to take into account that until the Commission launched its appeal, Member States may have suspended processing payment applications during this period.

               (7)

               It is therefore appropriate to amend Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 accordingly.

               (8)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   In Article 70 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, the following paragraph is added:

      ‘However, aid for programmes implemented in year 2012 regarding fruit and vegetables intended for processing may be paid no later than 31 December 2013.’

   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1223/2011
   of 28 November 2011
   amending Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 as regards sampling of flocks of origin of eggs and the microbiological examination of such samples and samples of certain meat intended for Finland and Sweden
   (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 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (1), and in particular the second paragraph of Article 9 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 lays down specific rules on the hygiene of food of animal origin for food business operators. That Regulation provides special guarantees for food of animal origin intended for the Finnish and Swedish markets. Accordingly, food business operators intending to place eggs on the market in those Member States are to comply with certain rules in respect of Salmonella.

               (2)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 of 14 October 2005 implementing Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards special guarantees concerning Salmonella for consignments to Finland and Sweden of certain meat and eggs (2) lays down rules on the sampling of flocks of origin of eggs intended for Finland and Sweden. It also lays down rules on the microbiological methods for the examination of those samples as well as samples of certain meat intended for those two Member States from bovine and porcine animals and from poultry.

               (3)

               Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of Salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (3) lays down rules to ensure that effective measures are taken to control Salmonella and other zoontic agents. Those measures include minimum sampling requirements in all flocks of laying hens within the framework of national control programmes for Salmonella.

               (4)

               Commission Regulation (EU) No 517/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards a Union target for the reduction of the prevalence of certain Salmonella serotypes in laying hens of Gallus gallus and amending Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 and Regulation (EU) No 200/2010 (4) lays down rules concerning a testing scheme to verify progress on the achievement of the Union target to reduce the prevalence of those serotypes in flocks of laying hens.

               (5)

               The requirements laid down in Regulations (EC) No 2160/2003 and (EU) No 517/2011 apply to all flocks of laying hens in the Union. Accordingly, in the interests of simplification of Union legislation and to avoid the duplication of sampling, the sampling rules laid down in Regulations (EC) No 2160/2003, (EC) No 1688/2005 and (EU) No 517/2011 should be harmonised.

               (6)

               In particular, the sampling rules applicable to flocks set out in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 should be replaced by the corresponding rules laid down in Regulations (EC) No 2160/2003 and (EU) No 517/2011. As the rules laid down in those two Regulations are more stringent, the special guarantees to Finland and Sweden are not jeopardised by such amendment. Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 should therefore be deleted.

               (7)

               In addition, the International Organization for Standardization adopted a new standard specific for the detection of Salmonella spp. in animal faeces and in environmental samples from the primary production stage, in particular EN/ISO standard 6579-2002/Amd1:2007 Annex D: Detection of Salmonella spp. in animal faeces and in environmental samples from the primary production stage. That standard should be used for samples taken in flocks of origin of eggs in the Union. Accordingly, the sampling rules laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 should be amended to refer to that standard.

               (8)

               Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (9)

               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
   Regulation (EC) No 1688/2005 is amended as follows:

               (1)

               Articles 4 and 5 are replaced by the following:

   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse (market abuse regulation) and repealing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directives 2003/124/EC, 2003/125/EC and 2004/72/EC (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 11(10) thereof,
   Whereas:

               Disclosing market participants are to keep records of the communications of information taking place for the purposes of the market soundings between themselves and all persons receiving the market soundings. Such records should assist disclosing market participants in providing evidence of proper conduct to the competent authorities, in particular where the nature of the information changes after the market sounding or where the competent authority needs to review the process of categorisation of the information. To that end, all such records should be kept in an electronic format.

               (2)

               To ensure that the information communicated is consistently recorded also where market soundings take place during unrecorded meetings or telephone conversations, a uniform template should be drawn up for the written minutes or notes to be taken by the disclosing market participant of those meetings and conversations.

               (3)

               To ensure that the information communicated is consistently recorded, disclosing market participants should keep records of the written communications to inform the persons who received the market soundings when the information disclosed in the course of the market sounding has ceased to be inside information.

               (4)

               This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Securities and Markets Authority to the Commission.

               (5)

               The European Securities and Markets Authority has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Securities Markets Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2).

               (6)

               In order to ensure the smooth functioning of the financial markets, it is necessary that this Regulation enters into force as a matter of urgency and that the provisions laid down in this Regulation apply from the same date as those laid down in Regulation (EU) No 596/2014,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1

   Disclosing market participants shall draw up the written minutes or notes referred to in Article 6(2)(d) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/960 in an electronic format using:

               (a)

               the template set out in Annex I where disclosing market participants consider that the market sounding involves the disclosure of inside information;

               (b)

               the template set out in Annex II where disclosing market participants consider that the market sounding does not involve the disclosure of inside information.

         Article 3
   Format for the record keeping of the data regarding potential investors
   1.   Disclosing market participants shall keep records of the information referred to in Article 4(1) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/960 in the form of separate lists for each market sounding.

   Article 4
   Format for communicating and recording that the information has ceased to be inside information
   1.   Disclosing market participants shall inform in writing the persons that received the market soundings that the information disclosed in the course of the market sounding has ceased to be inside information.
   2.   Disclosing market participants shall record the information given in accordance with paragraph 1 in compliance with the template set out in Annex III.
   Article 5
   Entry into force
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1354/2011
   of 20 December 2011
   opening annual Union tariff quotas for sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat
   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 (1), and in particular Articles 144(1) and 148 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Union tariff quotas for sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat should be opened as from 2012. The duties and quantities should be fixed in accordance with the respective international agreements in force in 2012. As a result of the negotiations which led to the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Union and New Zealand pursuant to Article XXIV:6 and Article XXVIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994 relating to the modification of concessions in the schedules of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania in the course of their accession to the European Union (2), the Union undertook to increase the annual volume of New Zealand by 400 tonnes and to incorporate in its schedule an erga omnes annual import tariff quota of meat of sheep and goats of 200 tonnes carcase weight.

               (2)

               Council Regulation (EC) No 312/2003 of 18 February 2003 implementing for the Community the tariff provisions laid down in the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part (3) has provided for an additional bilateral tariff quota of 2 000 tonnes and an additional 10 % annual increase of the original quantity to be opened for product code 0204 from 1 February 2003. Therefore, 200 tonnes shall be added to the GATT/WTO tariff quota for Chile annually and both quotas should continue to be managed together in the same way.

               (3)

               Commission Regulation (EU) No 1245/2010 of 21 December 2010 opening Union tariff quotas for 2011 for sheep, goats, sheepmeat and goatmeat (4) opened for the year 2011 Union tariff quotas in accordance with the respective international agreements in force during the year 2011. Those tariff quotas should be maintained and opened annually while taking into account the provisions of the agreements with New Zealand and Chile referred to above. Regulation (EU) No 1245/2010 becomes also obsolete at the end of the year 2011 and should therefore be repealed. This Regulation should also be applicable for more than one year and respond to an objective of simplification by avoiding the adoption of a regulation every year.

               (4)

               Imports under this Regulation should be managed on a calendar-year basis.

               (5)

               A carcase-weight equivalent needs to be fixed in order to ensure a proper functioning of the Union tariff quotas.

               (6)

               Tariff quotas of the sheepmeat and goatmeat products should, by way of derogation from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1439/95 of 26 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 as regards the import and export of products in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector (5), be managed in conformity with Article 144(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. This should be done in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (6).

               (7)

               Tariff quotas under this Regulation should be regarded initially as non-critical within the meaning of Article 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 when managed under the first-come, first-served system. Therefore, customs authorities should be authorised to waive the requirement for security in respect of goods initially imported under those tariff quotas in accordance with Articles 308c(1) and 248(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

               (8)

               It should be clarified which kind of proof certifying the origin of products has to be provided by operators in order to benefit from the tariff quotas under the first-come, first-served system.

               (9)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

               (c)

               for boneless mutton, boneless sheep and boneless goatmeat other than of kid and mixtures of any of these: 1,81;

               (d)

               for bone-in products: 1,00.

         ‘Kid’ shall mean goat of up to one year old.
   Article 4
   By way of derogation from Title II(A) and (B) of Regulation (EC) No 1439/95, the tariff quotas set out in the Annex to this Regulation shall be managed on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93. No import licences shall be required.
   Article 5
   1.   In order to benefit from the tariff quotas set out in the Annex, a valid proof of origin issued by the competent authorities of the third country concerned together with a customs declaration for release for free circulation for the goods concerned shall be presented to the Union customs authorities.
   The origin of products subject to tariff quotas other than those resulting from preferential tariff agreements shall be determined in accordance with the provisions in force in the Union.
   2.   The proof of origin referred to in paragraph 1 shall be as follows:

               (a)

               in the case of a tariff quota which is part of a preferential tariff agreement, it shall be the proof of origin laid down in that agreement;

               (b)

               in the case of other tariff quotas, it shall be a proof established in accordance with Article 47 of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 and, in addition to the elements provided for in that Article, the following data:

                           —

                           the CN code (at least the first four digits),

                           —

                           the order number or order numbers of the tariff quota concerned,

                           —

               (c)

               in the case of a country whose tariff quota falls under points (a) and (b) and are merged, it shall be the proof referred to in point (a).

         Where the proof of origin referred to in point (b) is presented as supporting document for only one declaration for release for free circulation, it may contain several order numbers. In all other cases, it shall only contain one order number.
   Article 6
   Regulation (EU) No 1245/2010 is repealed.
   Article 7
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 January 2012.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1932
   of 4 November 2016
   approving calcium magnesium oxide (burnt dolomitic lime) as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products of product-types 2 and 3
   (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 Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014 (2) establishes a list of existing active substances to be evaluated for their possible approval for use in biocidal products. That list includes calcium magnesium oxide (burnt dolomitic lime).

               (2)

               Calcium magnesium oxide (burnt dolomitic lime) has been evaluated in accordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) for use in products of product-type 2, disinfectants and algaecides not intended for direct application to humans or animals, and product-type 3, veterinary hygiene, as described in Annex V to that Directive, which correspond to product-types 2 and 3 respectively, as described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (3)

               The United Kingdom was designated as evaluating competent authority and submitted the assessment reports together with its recommendations on 19 September 2011.

               (4)

               In accordance with Article 7(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the opinions of the European Chemicals Agency were formulated on 14 April 2016 by the Biocidal Products Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

               (5)

               According to those opinions, biocidal products of product-types 2 and 3 and containing calcium magnesium oxide (burnt dolomitic lime) may be expected to satisfy the requirements of Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC, provided that certain specifications and conditions concerning their use are complied with.

               (6)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve calcium magnesium oxide (burnt dolomitic lime) for use in biocidal products of product-types 2 and 3, subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.

               (7)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements.

               (8)

               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
   Calcium magnesium oxide (burnt dolomitic lime) is approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-types 2 and 3, 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.

               Pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 of 22 December 2009 on pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRL in foodstuffs of animal origin (2).

               (3)

               Monensin is currently included in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as an allowed substance, for bovine species, applicable to muscle, fat, liver, kidney and milk.

               (4)

               An application for the modification of the existing entry for monensin has been submitted to the European Medicines Agency.

               (5)

               Additional data was provided by the applicant and assessed by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use. As a result that Committee recommends the modification of the current MRLs for monensin.

               (6)

               The entry for monensin in Table 1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (7)

               It is appropriate to provide for a reasonable period of time for the stakeholders concerned to take measures that may be required to comply with the newly set MRL.

               (8)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Veterinary Medicinal Products,
