         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/736
   of 7 May 2015
   prohibiting the introduction into the Union of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (1), and in particular Article 4(6) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 provides that the Commission may establish restrictions to the introduction of specimens of certain species into the Union in accordance with the conditions laid down in points (a) to (d) thereof.

               (2)

               The list of species for which the introduction into the Union is prohibited was last established in August 2014 by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 888/2014 (2).

               (3)

               On the basis of recent information, the Scientific Review Group has concluded that the conservation status of certain additional species listed in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 would be seriously jeopardised if their introduction into the Union from certain countries of origin is not prohibited. The introduction into the Union of specimens of the following genus should therefore be prohibited:

                           —

                              Scolymia spp. from Tonga.

               (4)

               The Scientific Review Group has also concluded that, on the basis of the most recent available information, the prohibition of the introduction into the Union should no longer be required for specimens of the following species:

                           —

                              Hippopotamus amphibius from Cameroon, Gambia, Niger, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Togo;

                           —

                              Crocodylus niloticus from Madagascar;

                           —

                              Catalaphyllia jardinei, Euphyllia cristata, Plerogyra sinuosa, Plerogyra turbida, Eguchipsammia fistula, Heliofungia actiniformis, Hydnophora microconos, Blastomussa wellsi, Scolymia vitiensis and Trachyphyllia geoffroyi from Indonesia.

               (5)

               The Scientific Review Group has moreover concluded that, on the basis of the most recent available information, the scope of the prohibition of the introduction into the Union should be amended for specimens of the following species, so that this prohibition only applies to live corals, with the exception of maricultured specimens attached to artificial substrates:

                           —

                              Euphyllia divisa, Euphyllia fimbriata, Euphyllia paraancora, Euphyllia paradivisa and Euphyllia yaeyamaensis from Indonesia.

               (6)

               The countries of origin of the species which are subject to new restrictions to the introduction into the Union have all been consulted.

               (7)

               The list of species for which the introduction into the Union is prohibited should therefore be updated and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 888/2014 should, for reasons of clarity, be replaced.

               (8)

               The Scientific Review Group established pursuant to Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 has been consulted.

               (9)

               Applications for import permits for specimens of species for which import is restricted pursuant to Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 shall be treated by Member States in accordance with Article 71 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 (3).

               (10)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Trade in Wild Fauna and Flora established pursuant to Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 338/97,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The introduction into the Union of specimens of the species of wild fauna and flora set out in the Annex to this Regulation from the countries of origin indicated therein is prohibited.
   Article 2
   Implementing Regulation (EU) No 888/2014 is repealed.
   References to the repealed Implementing Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation.
   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.
      Done at Brussels, 7 May 2015.

title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/124 of 29 January 2016 approving PHMB (1600; 1.8) as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 4 (Text with EEA relevance)

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/124
   of 29 January 2016
   approving PHMB (1600; 1.8) as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 4
   (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 PHMB (1600; 1.8).

               (2)

               PHMB (1600; 1.8) 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 product-type 4, food and feed area disinfectants, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 4 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (3)

               France was designated as evaluating competent authority and submitted the assessment report, together with its recommendations, to the Commission on 10 April 2013 in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 6 of Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (4).

               (4)

               In accordance with Article 7(1)(b) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the opinion of the European Chemicals Agency was formulated on 17 June 2015 by the Biocidal Products Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

               (5)

               According to that opinion, biocidal products used for product-type 4 and containing PHMB (1600; 1.8) may be expected to satisfy the requirements of Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC, provided that certain conditions concerning its use are complied with.

               (6)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve PHMB (1600; 1.8) for use in biocidal products for product-type 4 subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.

               (7)

               The opinion concludes that the characteristics of PHMB (1600; 1.8) render it very persistent (vP) and toxic (T) in accordance with the criteria laid down in Annex XIII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).

               (8)

               Since, pursuant to Article 90(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, substances for which the Member States' evaluation has been completed by 1 September 2013 should be approved in accordance with Directive 98/8/EC, the period of approval should be 10 years, in accordance with the practice established under that Directive.

               (9)

               For the purposes of Article 23 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 however, PHMB (1600; 1.8) meets the conditions of Article 10(1)(d) of that Regulation and should therefore be considered a candidate for substitution.

               (10)

               For the use in product-type 4, the evaluation did not address the incorporation of biocidal products containing PHMB (1600; 1.8) in materials and articles intended to come into contact directly or indirectly with food within the meaning of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). Such materials may require the establishment of specific limits on the migration into food, as referred to in Article 5(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. The approval should therefore not cover such use unless the Commission has established such limits or it has been established pursuant to that Regulation that such limits are not necessary.

               (11)

               Since PHMB (1600; 1.8) meets the criteria for being very persistent (vP) according to Annex XIII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, treated articles treated with or incorporating PHMB (1600; 1.8) should be appropriately labelled when placed on the market.

               (12)

               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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1068
   of 1 July 2016
   approving N-cyclopropyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (cyromazine) as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 18
   (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 N-cyclopropyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (cyromazine).

               (2)

               Cyromazine has been evaluated for use in products of product-type 18, Insecticides, acaricides and products to control other arthropods, as described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (3)

               Greece was designated as evaluating competent authority and submitted the assessment reports together with its recommendations on 28 August 2014.

               (4)

               In accordance with Article 7(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the opinion of the European Chemicals Agency was formulated on 10 December 2015 by the Biocidal Products Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

               (5)

               According to that opinion, biocidal products of product-type 18 and containing cyromazine may be expected to satisfy the criteria of Article 19(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, provided that certain specifications and conditions concerning their use are complied with.

               (6)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve cyromazine for use in biocidal products of product-type 18, subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.

               (7)

               Since cyromazine meets the criteria for being very persistent (vP) according to Annex XIII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), treated articles treated with or incorporating cyromazine should be labelled appropriately when placed on the market.

               (8)

               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.

               (9)

               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
   N-cyclopropyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (cyromazine) is approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 18, 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.
      Done at Brussels, 1 July 2016.

                  The authorisations of biocidal products are subject to the following conditions.

                              (1)

                              The product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any use covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union level risk assessment of the active substance.

                              (2)

                              In view of the risks identified for the uses assessed, the product assessment shall pay particular attention to:

                                          (a)

                                          professional users;

                                          (b)

                                          the surface water, sediment and soil compartment for products used in animal housing.

                              (3)

                              For products that may lead to residues in food or feed, the need to set new or to amend existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) shall be verified, and any appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to ensure that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded.

                        The placing on the market of treated articles is subject to the following condition:
                  The person responsible for the placing on the market of a treated article treated with or incorporating cyromazine shall ensure that the label of that treated article provides the information listed in the second subparagraph of Article 58(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

         (1)  The purity indicated in this column was the minimum degree of purity of the active substance used for the evaluation made in accordance with Article 89(1) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The active substance in the product placed on the market can be of equal or different purity if it has been proven technically equivalent with the evaluated active substance.
