         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/6
   of 5 January 2017
   on the European Rail Traffic Management System European deployment plan
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on Union guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network and repealing Decision No 661/2010/EU (1), and in particular Article 47(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The aim of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) European deployment plan is to ensure that vehicles referred to in point 1.1 of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/919 (2) equipped with ERTMS can gradually have access to an increasing number of lines, ports, terminals and marshalling yards without needing Class B systems in addition to ERTMS. The ERTMS European deployment plan established in the Commission Decision 2012/88/EU (3) should be adapted in order to take into account the state of ERTMS deployment made by the Member States, and to align it with the requirements of Article 39(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 and with the definition of core network corridors provided for in Article 2(14) of Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). This plan in combination with the National Implementation Plan as referred to in point 7.4.4 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2016/919 should give sufficient visibility to the vehicles owners to allow appropriate business planning.

               (2)

               A deployment plan for the core network corridors should include stations, junctions, access to core maritime ports and inland ports, airports, rail/road terminals and infrastructure components as referred to in Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 as they are essential to achieve interoperability in the European railway network.

               (3)

               Full compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/919 is a critical prerequisite for ERTMS deployment. Member States have not yet reached this objective, in particular because they introduced national or project specific solutions.

               (4)

               For new ERTMS track-side deployment, Member States should use the most recent set of specifications, referred to in Annex A to Regulation (EU) 2016/919, which corrects errors and misinterpretations of the previous baseline, leads to simpler technical solutions and ensures compatibility with Baseline 3 on-board units.

               (5)

               Trackside implementation rules are complementary to the on-board implementation rules laid down in the Regulation (EU) 2016/919; therefore it is necessary to align the ERTMS European Deployment Plan with the technical specifications for interoperability relating to the control command and signalling subsystems set out in that Regulation.

               (6)

               ERTMS deployment at cross-border sections can be technically challenging and therefore should be the subject of priority intervention by the Union, the Member States and the infrastructure managers concerned. Rail freight corridors within the meaning in Regulation (EU) No 913/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) could also play a crucial role in ERTMS deployment on cross-border sections, in particular by implementing coordinated solutions.

               (7)

               As synchronisation of cross-border deployment is an important element for the railway undertakings' business cases, the infrastructure managers concerned should sign an agreement ensuring coordination of deployment dates and technical solutions. In case of a disagreement, the Commission can provide support in identifying solutions.

               (8)

               In order to follow the progress of ERTMS deployment on the core network corridors, Member States should notify to the Commission the timely implementation of their sections by means of the TENtec system and the European Register of Infrastructure. Postponement of the relevant dates can be granted at the Member State's request and only in exceptional circumstances.

               (9)

               The revision of Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 could have consequences on the alignment of the core network corridors. This Regulation should be reviewed accordingly. This Regulation sets out implementation dates of those corridor sections where ERTMS can be put into operation by 2023 at the latest. All dates beyond 2023 will be subject to review by 31 December 2023 in relation to the time horizon defined in Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 with the objective of a realistic implementation timeline and to identify possibilities for earlier implementation dates.

               (10)

               As of the date of application of this Regulation, which is an implementing act within the meaning of Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/919, points 7.3.1, 7.3.2, 7.3.2.1, 7.3.2.2, 7.3.2.4, 7.3.2.5, 7.3.2.6, 7.3.4 and 7.3.5 of Annex III to Decision 2012/88/EU will cease to apply. However, point 7.3.2.3 should not be covered by this Regulation, because it is beyond the scope of its legal basis. Therefore point 7.3.2.3 of Annex III to Decision 2012/88/EU should continue to apply until the adoption of another implementing act.

               (11)

               Regarding high-speed lines located on the core network corridors covered by this Regulation, if one of the conditions laid down in point 7.3.2.3 in Annex III to Decision 2012/88/EU is fulfilled before the date specified for the same section in Annex I, the railway infrastructure managers should fit ERTMS trackside on that section in accordance with that provision.

               (12)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 52 of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Subject matter and scope
   1.   This Regulation lays down the timetable for the deployment of the European Rail Traffic Management System ('ERTMS') on core network corridors as set out in Annex I.
   2.   This Regulation does not apply to ERTMS on-board implementation laid down in point 7.3.3 of Annex III to Decision 2012/88/EU.
   Article 2
   ETCS specific implementation rules regarding trackside installations
   1.   Railway infrastructure managers shall equip the core network corridors with ERTMS and put ERTMS into operation in those corridors at the latest by the dates specified in Annex I to this Regulation, including in railway stations and junctions. The railway link to the elements listed in Annex II of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 and to the infrastructure components as referred to in Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 that are located on the core network corridor shall be equipped and put into operation at the date specified for the respective core network corridor section.
   Deployment shall be in compliance with Articles 1(4), 7(2c) and 39(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013.
   2.   A core network corridor shall be considered equipped with ERTMS when ERTMS is authorised for the placing in service in accordance with Article 15 of Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) or Article 18 of Directive (EU) 2016/797 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), allowing passenger and freight traffic in both directions in particular in case of works or disturbances, and, to the extent necessary for operations of ERTMS-only equipped vehicles, sidings.
   3.   Railway infrastructure managers, acting in cooperation, shall make an effort to equip and put into operation ERTMS on cross-border sections simultaneously, in a technically consistent manner. The railway infrastructure managers shall, after having consulted the railway undertakings affected, sign an agreement on technical and operational aspects of the deployment for each cross-border section. The railway infrastructure managers shall conclude such an agreement not later than one year before the earlier of the deployment dates for the given cross-border section. This agreement shall provide transitional provisions for taking into account the needs of the railway undertakings' cross-border operations. In case of a disagreement, the Member States concerned shall initiate an active dialogue in order to find common convergent solutions. They may request support from the Commission. The Member States shall notify such agreements to the Commission not later than one month after the conclusion.
   4.   The completion dates set out in agreements for projects co-funded by the Union which are earlier than the dates set out in Annex I shall prevail over those dates.
   5.   Member States may decide to keep the existing Class B systems, as defined in point 2.2 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2016/919. However, by the dates set out in Annex I, the vehicles referred to in point 1.1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2016/919 which are equipped with ERTMS in a version compatible with the track-side equipment, shall be given access to those lines and to the infrastructure components as referred to in Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 without requiring them to be equipped with a Class B system.
   Article 3
   Notifications
   1.   Once ERTMS is put into operation on a core network corridor section, the Member State concerned shall notify the Commission of that fact within one month, through the systems established under Article 49(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 and Article 5(1) of Commission Implementing Decision 2014/880/EU (8).
   2.   Member States shall notify the Commission of any delays in putting ERTMS in operation on a given core network corridor section to be equipped. The railway infrastructure managers shall inform the Member States about those delays accordingly.
   3.   When notifying the delays referred in paragraph 2, the Member State concerned shall send to the Commission a file containing a technical description of the project and specifying a new date for putting ERTMS into operation. The file shall specify the causes for the delay and shall indicate the corrective measures taken by the railway infrastructure manager.
   4.   If the delay results from an exceptional circumstance, the Commission may accept to postpone the relevant date by a maximum of three years. If a postponement is granted, the Member State shall make the necessary amendments to its national implementation plan as referred to in point 7.4.4 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2016/919 within one month of granting that postponement.
   Exceptional circumstance referred to in the first subparagraph means a circumstance resulting from the planning phase and which is related to specific geological findings, environmental or species protection, archaeological finds, permitting procedures, implementation of an environmental impact assessment pursuant to Directive 2014/52/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (9); or a circumstance resulting from the construction and authorisation phases that are out of the control of the project promoter and do not fall into the category of the usual risks that should be addressed at project management level in this type of projects.
   5.   If ERTMS specifications set out in Regulation (EU) 2016/919 are changed by legislative act in an incompatible way the Member States shall provide the Commission with an analysis of the impact of the application of the modified legal reference on their network and on the ERTMS planning without unreasonable delay, but at latest at the time of the formal opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 51 of Directive (EU) 2016/797. If a direct impact of the changes can be demonstrated in terms of cost or timeline for specific implementations, Annex I shall be adapted accordingly.
   Article 4
   Review
   Not later than 31 December 2023, the Commission shall, after consultation with the Member States, and with the assistance of the European ERTMS Coordinator referred to in Article 45 of Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013, carry out a review of the dates after 1 January 2024 that are laid down in Annex I to this Regulation.
   Article 5

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/961
      of 7 June 2017
      concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Enterococcus faecium CECT 4515 as a feed additive for weaned piglets, and a new use in water for drinking for weaned piglets and chickens for fattening, and amending Regulation (EC) No 2036/2005 and Regulation (EU) No 887/2011 (holder of authorisation Evonik Nutrition & Care GmbH)
      (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. Article 10 of that Regulation provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).

                  (2)

                  The preparation of Enterococcus faecium CECT 4515 was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for weaned piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2036/2005 (3). That preparation was subsequently entered in the Register of Feed Additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. That preparation has been authorised for chickens for fattening by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 887/2011 (4).

                  (3)

                  In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 of that Regulation, applications were submitted for the re-evaluation of the preparation of Enterococcus faecium CECT 4515 as a feed additive in feed for weaned piglets and for a new use in water for drinking for weaned piglets and chickens for fattening. The applicant requested the additive to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’. The applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                  (4)

                  The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinions of 9 April 2014 (5), 29 April 2015 (6) and 8 September 2015 (7) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Enterococcus faecium CECT 4515 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. In its opinion of 29 April 2015, the Authority also concluded that the additive has the potential to improve the zootechnical performance of weaned piglets when used in feed. In its opinion of 8 September 2015, the Authority further concluded that the use of the preparation of Enterococcus faecium CECT 4515 in water for drinking for weaned piglets and chickens for fattening has the same efficacy as when it is used in feed. 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.

                  (5)

                  The assessment of the preparation of Enterococcus faecium CECT 4515 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annexes to this Regulation.

                  (6)

                  As a consequence of the granting of a new authorisation under Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, Regulation (EC) No 2036/2005 should be amended accordingly. Furthermore, the existing authorisation of the preparation of Enterococcus faecium CECT 4515 for chickens for fattening in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 887/2011 should be supplemented by a new use in water for drinking by way of an amendment to that Implementing Regulation.

                  (7)

                  Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.

                  (8)

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

            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 400/2012
   of 7 May 2012
   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 issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature and 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 measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

         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.

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  An article having the shape of an almost square, stylised elephant, measuring approximately 32 × 48 × 24 cm, consisting of two halves that are made of moulded, rigid plastic. It has four wheels and a removable shoulder strap that can also be used to pull the article along.
                  The two halves are held together by an integral hinged seam across the bottom and by two security snap closures at its opposite ends, which stop the article from opening immediately all the way. The hinges allow the two halves of the article to lie flat on the ground when opened.
                  One half of the article is fitted with two textile straps forming an X when linked by a clip. It also has a small flat textile pocket attached on the inside. The other half of the article is fitted with a separation flap of textile material holding one flat pocket with a zip closure. The separation flap is fixed to the side of the article, where the hinges are, and can be attached to the opposite side of that half.
                  (suitcase)
                  (See photographs nos. 660 A and B) (1)

                  4202 12 50

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 1(d) to Chapter 95, and the wording of CN codes 4202, 4202 12 and 4202 12 50.
                  The article has the objective characteristics of suitcases of heading 4202, for example the moulded rigid plastic material, the hinges, the closure system, the straps, separation flap and pockets, the wheels and the fact that it is shaped and can be used as a container that opens like a typical hinged suitcase. These characteristics indicate that the article is to be considered as a suitcase and not a wheeled toy. Therefore, classification as a wheeled toy similar to pedal cars of heading 9503 is excluded.
                  The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 4202 12 50, as a suitcase of moulded plastic material.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 686/2013
   of 16 July 2013
   approving minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Oignon doux des Cévennes (PDO))
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 53(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               By virtue of the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission has examined France’s application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 723/2008 (2).

               (2)

               The purpose of the application is to amend the specification by giving more detailed information on the product description, the geographical area, the proof of origin, the method of production, labelling, national requirements, packaging and the contact details of the applicant group.

               (3)

               The Commission has examined the amendments in question and decided that they are justified. Since the amendments are minor within the meaning of the third subparagraph of Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission may approve them without following the procedure set out in Articles 50 to 52 of the Regulation,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ is hereby amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   Annex II to this Regulation contains the consolidated single document setting out the main points of the specification.
   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.

      (2)  OJ L 198, 26.7.2008, p. 28.

      ANNEX I
      The following amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ have been approved:

                  —

                     Description of product

                  Deletion of the reference to ‘the large size’ of the bulb, which was not included in national legislation defining the registered designation of origin in 2003: the specification for the designation does not lay down specific provisions on the sizes of the onions. National legislation defining the registered designation of origin in 2003 did not provide for any specific provisions on the size of the onions. The reference to the words ‘large bulb’ was a description of the varietal type of the registered designation of origin (see Article 4 of the Decree of 14 October 2003) and not of the onion. Therefore there were no provisions on limiting the sizes authorised for the registered designation of origin.
                  The description of the registered designation of origin concerns other visual criteria, which are also used in connection with the organoleptic tests carried out on the onions: the colour, shape and shininess of the bulb, the finesse and transparency of the tunics.
                  Furthermore, as highlighted under the heading ‘Link with the geographical area’, the on-farm selection used to obtain plant materials adapted to the environment was carried out on the basis of other selection criteria: the keeping quality, a growth cycle adapted to local conditions and the taste of the onion. Bulb size is not a characteristic of the registered designation of origin.

                  —

                     Geographical area

                  Addition of the procedure for identifying parcels provided for in national legislation on the designation.

                  —

                     Evidence that the product originates in the geographical area

                  The heading has been supplemented by provisions on the monitoring and guarantee of the origin and traceability of the designation. These provisions were amended following the reform of the control system for French registered designations of origin.

                  —

                     Method of production

                  Amendments related to the inclusion in the specification of provisions provided for in national legislation defining the designation.
                  Seeds: introduction of provisions on the use of the seeds produced on the holdings provided for in national legislation defining the registered designation of origin.
                  Fertilisation: introduction of provisions on nitrogen supplies (maximum limit of 100 units of nitrogen per hectare and division into supplies of a maximum of 50 units) provided for in national legislation defining the registered designation of origin.
                  Harvesting: the conditions for triggering harvesting are laid down: harvesting is triggered when 50 % of the plant tops have fallen.
                  Yield: a definition of crop parcel is introduced.

                  —

                     Labelling

                  Addition of a code for packaging plants that covers batches entered on the same day. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to supplement the numbering of packaged batches. Only for packages of less than 5 kg, it is possible to replace the identification number containing the identification of the producer and the identification of the parcel with an identification number covering a group of batches entered on the same day. In practice, mesh bags of onions weighing less than 5 kg often consist of onions from different producers. This means that the packaging station must carry out a specific identification of these batches. However, this amendment does not endanger traceability in the sector, because the recording of new batches and of the corresponding numbers makes it possible to guarantee traceability (inwards and outwards registers as referred to in point IV.1 of the specification).
                  Addition of a requirement to affix the European Union PDO symbol and the words ‘protected designation of origin’ or ‘PDO’ instead of the national terms.

                  —

                     National requirements

                  The national requirements are supplemented by a table on the main points to be verified and their evaluation method, as provided for in French national legislation.

                  —

                     Other

                  Provisions on packaging are introduced (transport provisions), and the maximum weight of the boxes has been amended from 10 to 12 kg. ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ have fragile and delicate tunics and practice has shown that a maximum capacity of 10 kg is not ideal for the smallest onions. It was found that it is impossible to fill up the boxes correctly (i.e. totally) with small onions owing to the standard format of the boxes and the maximum weight limit of 10 kg. Consequently the onions do not remain in place and are more vulnerable to sudden movements and deterioration. By increasing the maximum weight of the boxes to 12 kg it will be possible to fill them up more evenly, so that ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ remain in place better. The purpose of this amendment is therefore to prevent sudden movements and the risk of deterioration when the product is handled a number of times.
                  The contact details of the applicant group have been updated.

         CONSOLIDATED SINGLE DOCUMENT

      Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1)

      ‘OIGNON DOUX DES CÉVENNES’
      EC No: FR-PDO-0105-0314-17.10.2011

         PGI ( ) PDO ( X )

      1.   Name

      ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’
      2.   Member State or Third Country

      France
      3.   Description of agricultural product or foodstuff

      3.1.   Type of product

                  Class 1.6.

                  Fruit, vegetables and cereals, fresh or processed

            3.2.   Description of the product to which the name in point 1 applies

      ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ is a storage onion cultivated on terraces. It is pearly white to coppery in colour, with a roundish to elongated bulb, a shiny appearance and fine and translucent tunics. The scales are thick with a white, moderately firm and juicy flesh. The dry matter content is less than 10 %. Eaten raw, the flesh is crunchy but not sharp or bitter and has a fine, balanced flavour. Eaten cooked, it keeps its shine and becomes translucent, unctuous, juicy and sugary in taste, with no bitterness and a roasted, chestnut flavour.
      Onions packaged after 15 May of the year following the year of harvest may not bear the protected designation of origin ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’. The onions must be marketed in the original packaging used exclusively for the designation. Marketing may not begin before 1 August of the year of harvest.
      3.3.   Raw materials (for processed products only)

      —
      3.4.   Feed (for products of animal origin only)

      —
      3.5.   Specific steps in production that must take place in the defined geographical area

      The onions must be sown and produced in the geographical area.
      3.6.   Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc.

      Packaging takes place in the geographical area defined in point 4 of this single document. It is carried out in packaging plants identified by the group. The method used to close the package must be such that the package cannot be closed again once it has been opened. The onions are packaged in boxes and plastic film with a maximum capacity of 12 kg or in mesh bags with a maximum capacity of 5 kg.
      Packaging must be done in the prescribed geographical area to maintain quality.
      The onions are packaged by the producer or are delivered to a packaging plant. Packaging within the prescribed area prevents excessive handling. This in turn preserves the onions’ characteristics, in particular their fine, translucent and very fragile tunics, and does not alter the product. Lastly, organoleptic and analytical testing, which ensures that the onions comply with the organoleptic profile, is done by sampling packaged batches.
      3.7.   Specific rules concerning labelling

      Each package of onions to be granted the designation bears a label indicating at least the following:

                  —

                  the name of the protected designation of origin ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ written in a font at least as large as the largest font used on the label,

                  —

                  ‘AOP’ and/or ‘appellation d’origine protégée’, which must appear immediately before or after the name of the designation with no text in between,

                  —

                  the European Union PDO logo,

                  —

                  the name of the packager,

                  —

                  the date of packaging,

                  —

                  a specific identification number.

            The identification number corresponds to the producer code followed by the parcel code. For packages of a maximum of 5 kg it may be replaced by a code covering batches entered on the same day.
      4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

      The production area of the PDO ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ extends over the territories of the following 32 municipalities of the Department of Gard:
      Arphy; Arre; Arrigas; Aulas; Aumessas; Avèze; Bez-et-Esparon; Bréau-et-Salagosse; Colognac; Cros; Lasalle; Mandagout; Mars; Molières-Cavaillac; Monoblet; Notre-Dame-de-la-Rouvière; Pommiers; Roquedur; Saint-André-de-Majencoules; Saint-André-de-Valborgne; Saint-Bonnet-de-Salendrinque; Saint-Bresson; Sainte-Croix-de-Caderle; Saint-Julien-de-la-Nef; Saint-Laurent-le-Minier; Saint-Martial; Saint-Roman-de-Codières; Soudorgues; Sumène; Vabres; Valleraugue; Vigan (le).
      5.   Link with the geographical area

      5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

      The geographical area of the PDO ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ extends principally over granitic and schistose rocks on the southeast edge of the Massif Central and, in particular, along the slopes of the massif de l’Aigoual (1 565 m). The climate, which is Mediterranean, is characterised by summer drought and large amounts of rainfall in the autumn and to a lesser extent in the spring, the average being 1 500 mm. Temperatures also fluctuate greatly. There is plenty of sunshine in the summer, while the weather is rather cold from autumn to spring, with occasional snowfall. The average annual temperature is 12-13 °C.
      The hilly topography of Cévennes consists of ridges, the ‘serres’, that alternate with deep and narrow valleys that are oriented towards the northwest/southeast, the ‘valats’. The slope effect on these steep slopes leads to marked climatic contrasts, and the strong equinox rains accentuate erosion, sometimes causing devastating floods. In order to manage this topography, Cévennes farmers have transformed the slopes into terraces by identifying slightly deeper silted-up land and by building over large areas walls made of dry stones, a typical feature of the Cévennes landscape.
      5.2.   Specificity of the product

      The organoleptic qualities of ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ has earned it a regional as well as a national reputation: the onion is characterised by great sweetness without any bitterness or sharpness, and a juiciness that gives it a very pleasant texture in the mouth, whether raw or cooked.
      Furthermore, it is visually recognisable and appreciated owing to its roundish to elongated bulb, its shininess, its pearly white, sometimes coppery, colour and its fine and translucent skins.
      Its low dry matter content (less than 10 %) does not prevent it from keeping well until the end of winter.
      5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)

      Cultivated on the southern slopes of the Massif Central, ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ is an original and specific onion, in terms of both its cultivation method and its physical and gustatory qualities.
      In this particular environment man has known how to manage the land in order to take advantage of it, select a well-adapted variety and develop cultivation techniques that highlight a special product.
      The natural constraints of the geographical area — the scarcity of level surfaces and the damage caused by erosion — have obliged farmers to organise the available space so that it can be used efficiently. The terracing of land, which is gravity-irrigated by the Béal, a canal bringing water from upstream rivers, rapidly became widespread starting in the 18th century and made it possible to increase the meagre farmable land areas. This helped feed a sizeable population and also protected the soil against erosion.
      Fruits and vegetables were cultivated on the terraces that had the most favourable orientation and were half-way down the slope, irrigable and close to the hamlets. Soils formed from the decomposition of granites and schists are acid, sandy, filtering and poor in clay. Often they are fertilised with manure from neighbouring sheep and goat farms. Sweet onions started being cultivated in the area, first as a food crop before becoming a genuine form of agricultural production. The parcels where the onion had traditionally been grown, sometimes for more than 50 years, were called ‘Cébières’.
      The traditional variety, improved and maintained by producers for many generations on the basis of appearance, sweetness and keeping properties, is well adapted to the local climate: it is a long-day plant, which is sowed in January in the most favourably oriented parcels so that it can benefit from the spring warmth. It is then transplanted manually and irrigated regularly; the bulbs are harvested at the end of summer, before the equinox rains of September. In this way they can dry in the field and be preserved in good, healthy conditions.
      The cultural practices and the natural environment affect the characteristics of the onion throughout its growth cycle. Vigorous seedlings are obtained rapidly by sowing on the best parcels. With precise manual transplanting it is possible to optimise plant densities in order to be able to harvest bulbs having a sufficient size and a harmonious appearance, without any flat sides. The soil’s poor clay content contributes to the sweetness of the onion but its sandy texture keeps the water reserves low. Therefore irrigation is necessary during the summer, and water is provided regularly in small amounts. This prevents waste and, above all, limits the hydric stress of the plant and the appearance of bitter and sharp tastes but keeps the scales juicy. Finally, parcels oriented towards the northeast to southwest are selected while moist valley bottoms are avoided so that the onions can be cultivated only on parcels with favourable microclimates. This results in earlier ripeness, with a smaller risk of plant-health problems. Consequently inputs can be reduced and the product keeps better.
      The combination of natural factors in the geographical area, used effectively by farmers who have known how to employ the potential of the environment to the best advantage, have enabled all the original characteristics of ‘Oignon doux des Cévennes’ to be brought out.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 504/2013
   of 31 May 2013
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1225/2011 as regards the communication of information for the purpose of relief from customs duty
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009 of 16 November 2009 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty (1),
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 17 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1225/2011 of 28 November 2011 for the purposes of Articles 42 to 52, 57 and 58 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty (2), Member States have to communicate information to the Commission in respect of the admission free of customs duties of certain spare parts, components, accessories, tools and equipment exceeding a certain value or price. The Commission has to forward the information to the Member States. Pursuant to Article 18 of the said Implementing Regulation that information is to be examined periodically by the Customs Code Committee.

               (2)

               Pursuant to Article 20 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1225/2011 certain information set out in applications for admission free of customs duty of goods imported by or on behalf of scientific establishments or organisations established inside the Union has to be communicated to the Commission by the Member States to which the application has been submitted.

               (3)

               Those obligations which date from 1983 are no longer necessary for the good management of imports with relief of customs duties. Moreover they entail an unnecessary administrative burden, both for Member States and the Commission. Thus, in the interest of regulatory simplification and rationality, the corresponding provisions should be deleted or simplified.

               (4)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1225/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (5)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1225/2011 is amended as follows:

               (1)

               Chapter VII is deleted;

               (2)

               Article 20 is replaced by the following:
               ‘Article 20
               The competent authority of the Member State in which is situated the establishment or organisation to which the goods are consigned shall take a direct decision on applications under Article 19 in all cases.’.

         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, 31 May 2013.

   of 11 October 2013
   on the derogations from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other, that apply within quotas for certain products from Central America
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Decision 2012/734/EU of 25 June 2012 on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, of the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other, and the provisional application of Part IV thereof concerning trade matters (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               By Decision 2012/734/EU, the Council authorised the signing, on behalf of the Union, of the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’). Pursuant to Decision 2012/734/EU, the Agreement is to be applied on a provisional basis, pending the completion of the procedures for its conclusion.

               (2)

               Annex II to the Agreement concerns the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation. For a number of products, Appendix 2A to that Annex provides for the possibility of derogations from the rules of origin set out in Appendix 2 to Annex II in the framework of annual quotas. As the Union has decided to use that possibility, it is necessary to provide the conditions for the application of those derogations for imports from Central America.

               (3)

               The quotas set out in Appendix 2A to Annex II should be managed on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with 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 (2).

               (4)

               Entitlement to benefit from the tariff concessions should be subject to the presentation of the relevant proof of origin to the customs authorities, as provided for in the Agreement.

               (5)

               Since the Agreement applies on a provisional basis as of 1 August 2013, this Regulation should apply from the same date.

However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.

               (2)

               Article 136(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that, in order to calculate the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative cif import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products in question.

               (5)

               Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,
