               COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) …/...

               of 25.4.2019

               ensuring the smooth functioning of the electronic registry for quotas for placing hydrofluorocarbons on the market

               (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 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases and repealing Regulation (EC) No 842/2006
                  1
               , and in particular Article 17(2) thereof,

               Whereas:

               (1)Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 provides for a central electronic registry to manage quotas, for the placing of hydrofluorocarbons on the market, and their reporting, including equipment placed on the market charged with hydrofluorocarbons ('the registry').

               (2)Following the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer
                  2
               , as from 1 January 2019 Union imports and exports of bulk quantities of hydrofluorocarbons fall under the licensing system set out in Article 4B of the Montreal Protocol. Valid registration of an undertaking acting as importer or exporter, as appropriate, in the registry under Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 is considered to constitute such a licence.

               (3)In order to ensure the smooth functioning of the registry, it is important to specify the requirements for undertakings for which registration is compulsory. Those requirements should, inter alia, include a requirement to provide information related to the financial and legal status of those undertakings. Such information may be necessary in order to ensure an effective implementation of the quota allocation, avoid distortion of quota allocations and prevent circumvention and abuses of legislative requirements.

               (4)The different situation of undertakings that have mandated an only representative in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 should also be reflected in the registration requirements.

               (5)In order to allow the quota mechanism for placing hydrofluorocarbons on the market to be implemented effectively by means of the registry it is important to provide safeguards aimed at ensuring that the allocation of quotas is carried out in a lawful and fair manner. The function of the registry is to facilitate effective implementation of the quota mechanism. The registry should therefore be organised and managed in a way that it allows it to be used as a tool to avoid any circumvention or abuse of the requirements for quota allocations. In particular, where the same beneficial owner(s) registers several undertakings with the aim of receiving a higher allocation of quotas than a single undertaking’s share of the maximum quantity of hydrofluorocarbons that can be placed on the market in the Union in accordance with Article 15 (1) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014, such undertakings registered with the same beneficial owner(s) should be considered as one for the purposes of the quota allocation stipulated in Article 16(5) of the Regulation. Beneficial ownership can be related to any type of legal entity including for example small and medium-sized enterprises.

               (6)Taking into account national laws and rules regulating the establishment and operation of undertakings, the Commission needs the assistance of Member States in order to assess the completeness and accuracy of information provided by undertakings for registration purposes. Member States should therefore be required to cooperate and exchange information with the Commission in order to ensure the smooth functioning of the registry.

               (7)The Commission is required to ensure that personal data submitted pursuant to Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 are processed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  3
               .

               (8)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Article 24(1) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

               2.For undertakings where paragraph 1 applies for two declaration periods, the Commission shall cancel the registration of the undertakings with the same beneficial owner(s) except for the undertaking that was registered first or, where appropriate, another registered undertaking indicated by the beneficial owner, unless there are other pending obligations in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 that require registration to the registry.

title: COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) …/... granting Cape Verde a temporary derogation from the rules on preferential origin laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446, in respect of prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel fillets

               COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) …/...

               of 17.4.2019

               granting Cape Verde a temporary derogation from the rules on preferential origin laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446, in respect of prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel fillets

               THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

               Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

               Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code
                  1
               , and in particular Articles 64(6) and 66(b) thereof,

               Whereas:

               (1)Cape Verde is a country benefiting from the generalised system of preferences  referred to in Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  2
                as the GSP. By Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 439/2011
                  3
                Cape Verde was granted a derogation from Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93
                  4
                in respect of the definition of the concept of originating products used for the purposes of the GSP. The derogation concerned annual volumes of 2 500 tonnes of prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and 875 tonnes of prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel fillets. Under the derogation and within those quantities, these products were considered as originating in Cape Verde even if, despite being produced in Cape Verde, they were produced from non-originating fish. Having been prolonged three times, the derogation expired on 31 December 2018.
                  5

               (2)By letter dated 22 October 2018, Cape Verde submitted a request for a prolongation of that derogation, for the same annual volumes, for a period pending entry into force of the new Economic Partnership Agreement (‘EPA’) between the Union and West Africa initialled on 30th June 2014. By virtue of its cumulation rules, the EPA will allow the fish processing industry of Cape Verde to comply with the rules on preferential origin by using fish originating in the other West African States.

               (3)From 2008, the total annual quantities that were granted to Cape Verde under the derogation have contributed, to a significant extent, to improving the situation in the Cape Verdean fishery processing sector. Those quantities have also led, to a certain extent, to the revitalisation of Cape Verde’s fleet of small fishing vessels, which is of vital importance to the country.

               (4)The arguments in the request demonstrate that, without the derogation, the ability of the Cape Verdean fish processing industry to continue exporting to the Union under the GSP would be significantly affected, which might deter further development of the Cape Verdean fleet of small vessels for pelagic fishing.

               (5)Additional time is needed to consolidate the results already obtained by Cape Verde in its efforts to revitalise its local fishing fleet. The derogation should give Cape Verde sufficient time to prepare itself to comply with the rules for the acquisition of preferential origin.

               (6)Having regard to the temporary nature of derogations granted in respect of the definition of the concept of originating products, the derogation should be granted for a period of two years, or pending entry into force of the EPA between the Union and West Africa, in respect of yearly quantities of 2 500 tonnes for prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and 875 tonnes for prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel fillets. The derogation should, however, end on the day immediately preceding the date of the entry into force of the EPA with West Africa, if that occurs  before 31 December 2020.

               (7)The quantities set out in the Annex to this Regulation should be managed in accordance with Articles 49 to 54 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447
                  6
               , which govern the management of tariff quotas.

               (8)The derogation should be granted on the condition that the customs authorities of Cape Verde take the necessary steps to carry out quantitative checks on exports of the products subject to derogation, and that they forward to the Commission a statement of the quantities in respect of which certificates of origin Form A have been issued pursuant to this Regulation and the serial numbers of those certificates. Should the Registered Exporter (REX) system, according to Article 79 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447, enter into application in Cape Verde during the year 2019, the same rule should also be applicable to statements on origin made out by registered exporters.

               (9)The measures provided for in this Regulation should enter into force on the day after its publication in order to take into account the situation of Cape Verde and to allow this country to use the derogation without any further delay.

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

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

               Article 1

               By way of derogation from Articles 41(b) and 45 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446, prepared or preserved mackerel fillets and prepared or preserved frigate tuna or frigate mackerel fillets of CN code 1604 15 11, ex 1604 19 97 and 1604 20 90 produced in Cape Verde from non-originating fish shall be regarded as originating in Cape Verde in accordance with Articles 2, 3 and 4 of this Regulation.

               Article 2

               1.The derogation shall apply to products which have been both exported from Cape Verde and declared for release for free circulation in the Union during the period from 1 January 2019 until:

               2.   The following mention shall be entered in box 4 of certificate of origin Form A issued by the competent authorities of Cape Verde pursuant to this Regulation: ‘Derogation — Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) xxx/2019’. In case of application of the Registered Exporter (REX) system to Cape Verde in 2019, that mention shall be entered on the statements on origin made out by the registered exporters.

               3.   Every quarter, the competent authorities of Cape Verde shall forward to the Commission a statement of the quantities in respect of which certificates of origin and/or statements on origin have been issued or made out pursuant to this Regulation and the serial numbers of those proofs.

               of 31.10.2019

               amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153 as regards the reporting of WLTP CO2 values for certain categories of new passenger cars and adjusting the input data for the correlation tool

               (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 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles
                  1
               , and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8(9) and the first subparagraph of Article 13(7) thereof,

               Whereas:

               (1)Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  2
                provides that the EU fleet-wide CO2 emissions targets for 2025 and 2030 for new passenger cars are to be calculated on the basis of the CO2 emissions measured in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151
                  3
                for new passenger cars registered in 2020 (hereinafter “measured CO2 emission values”).

               (2)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153
                  4
                sets out rules about the calculation and reporting by manufacturers of the measured CO2 emission values. It is, however, necessary to further specify how those values are to be determined, in particular, as regards Not-Off-Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (NOVC-HEV) and Off-Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (OVC-HEV).

               (3)It should also be clarified how the measured CO2 emission values are to be determined where several CO2 emissions tests are performed for the purpose of type-approval.

               (4)The correlation of the CO2 emissions of NOVC-HEVs and OVC-HEVs should be performed on the basis of physical vehicle tests and not on the basis of simulations performed by the correlation tool, due to the complexity of adapting the correlation tool to take into account such vehicle technologies. In order to ensure effective verification of the correlation results, technical test data relating to those vehicles should, however, be provided to the Commission in the same way as for conventional vehicles.

               (5)Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

               MCO2-L,C,5, MCO2-H,C,5
                     are, for the interpolation family concerned, determined in accordance with the formula set out in paragraph 4.1.3.1 of Sub-Annex 8 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151, where the term Mi,CDj shall be replaced by the value MCO2,CD (combined) taken from the entry 2.5.3.2 for vehicle H and L, as applicable, of the EC type-approval certificate, and the term Mi,CS shall be replaced by the value MCO2,C,5 (combined) taken from entry 2.5.3.1. of the EC type-approval certificate for vehicle H, L, or M, as applicable;

               Kind
                     is the interpolation coefficient for the considered individual vehicle for the applicable WLTP test cycle as defined in paragraph 4.5.3 of Sub-Annex 8 to Annex XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151.’;

               (b)the following paragraph 1a is inserted:

               ‘1a. Where more than one measurement value is recorded in entries 2.5.1.1.3., 2.5.1.2.3., 2.5.3.1 or 2.5.3.2. of an EC type-approval certificate, the MCO2,C,5  or MCO2,CD  values referred to in paragraph 1 shall, for the purpose of this provision, be determined as follows:

               of 7.11.2019

               on the procedures at border control posts for a coordinated performance by competent authorities of intensified official controls on products of animal origin, germinal products, animal by-products and composite products

               (Text with EEA relevance)

               THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

               Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

               Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2017 on official controls and other official activities performed to ensure the application of food and feed law, rules on animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection products, amending Regulations (EC) No 999/2001, (EC) No 396/2005, (EC) No 1069/2009, (EC) No 1107/2009, (EU) No 1151/2012, (EU) No 652/2014, (EU) 2016/429 and (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Regulations (EC) No 1/2005 and (EC) No 1099/2009 and Council Directives 98/58/EC, 1999/74/EC, 2007/43/EC, 2008/119/EC and 2008/120/EC, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 854/2004 and (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 89/608/EEC, 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC, 91/496/EEC, 96/23/EC, 96/93/EC and 97/78/EC and Council Decision 92/438/EEC (Official Controls Regulation)
                  1
               , and in particular Article 65(6) thereof,

               Whereas:

               (1)Regulation (EU) 2017/625 subjects certain categories of animals and goods to systematic controls at border control posts prior to their entry into the Union.

               (2)It follows from Article 65(4) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 that in case of suspected fraudulent or deceptive practices by an operator or in the case of serious or repeated infringements of the rules referred to in Article 1(2) of that Regulation, official controls on consignments with the same use or origin performed by the competent authorities at the border control posts should be intensified. Pursuant to Article 65(5) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, the competent authorities’ decision to perform such intensified controls is to be notified to the Commission and the Member States through the information management system for official controls (IMSOC) referred to in Article 131 of that Regulation.

               (3)In order to ensure a harmonised approach to the coordinated performance of intensified official controls on certain goods entering the Union, detailed procedures for the coordinated performance of those controls should be established, including rules on the role of the IMSOC in this respect. For practical reasons, the coordinated performance of intensified controls at borders should be limited to the categories of consignments for which there is an identifiable listed establishment of origin, i.e. consignments of products of animal origin, germinal products, animal by-products and composite products.

               (4)When receiving notifications from the competent authorities in accordance with Article 65(5) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, the Commission should in particular assess whether the non-compliance is based on suspected fraudulent or deceptive practices or on a potentially serious or repeated infringement of the rules referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, for instance the placing on the market of products of animal origin containing levels of contaminants or residues of veterinary medicinal products which exceed the maximum residue limit, or of products which do not comply with Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005
                  2
               .

               (5)In order to reduce the risk of fraudulent or deceptive practices by way of presenting small consignments for official controls, the total weight of compliant consignments required to end the coordinated performance of intensified official controls should amount to at least ten times the weight of the consignment that initially triggered the measure. However, in order to avoid an unacceptable administrative and financial burden for the competent authorities and for operators, a maximum total weight of compliant consignments required to end the coordinated performance of intensified official controls should be set.

               (6)If, during the coordinated performance of intensified official controls, three consignments entering the Union reveal the same type of infringement indicated in the notification in accordance with Article 65(5) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, the coordinated performance of intensified official controls should be maintained until its results and the action of the competent authorities of the third countries concerned are satisfactory. In that case, the Commission should request the competent authorities of the third countries to carry out the necessary investigations and measures in order to remedy the situation in the establishment of origin and report back to the Commission.

               (7)For reasons of the efficiency of the control system, it should be possible for the Member States to exclude certain consignments from the coordinated performance of intensified official controls, in cases where the consignments are to be refused entry into the Union on grounds other than the infringement for which the coordinated intensified official controls are performed.

               (8)Since Regulation (EU) 2017/625 applies from 14 December 2019, this Regulation should also apply from that date.

               (9)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:

               Article 1
               Subject matter and scope

               This Regulation lays down rules relating to the procedures at border control posts for a coordinated performance by competent authorities of intensified official controls on products of animal origin, germinal products, animal by-products and composite products entering the Union for placing on the market.

               Article 2
               Definition

               For the purpose of this Regulation, ‛establishment of origin’ means the establishment of origin in a third country, including third country vessels, appearing on lists drawn up regarding the export of products of animal origin, germinal products, animal by-products and composite products to the Union in accordance with the relevant Union legislation.

               Article 3
               Triggering of the coordinated performance of intensified official controls

               1.When notifying the Commission and the other Member States through the IMSOC of their decision in accordance with Article 65(5) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, the competent authorities shall indicate the establishment of origin, the category of goods, including their description and code from the Combined Nomenclature set out in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87
                  3
               , and the infringement for which a coordinated performance of intensified official controls is to be performed.

               2.After receipt of the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission shall assess whether the following conditions are met:

               (a)the notification is based on suspected fraudulent or deceptive practices or on a potentially serious or repeated infringement of the rules referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625;

               (b)the notification is related to an action or omission for which the establishment of origin of the consignment concerned is responsible;

               (c)the consignment concerned is not already subject to the coordinated performance of intensified official controls in accordance with this Regulation; and

               (d)the consignment concerned is not subject to emergency measures adopted in accordance with Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  4
                or Article 261 of Regulation (EU) 2016/429
                  5
               , or to special measures adopted in accordance with Article 128 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, for the same infringement as the one indicated in the notification referred to in paragraph 1.

               3.The Commission shall record the outcome of its assessment referred to in paragraph 2 in the IMSOC.

               4.Where the outcome of the assessment referred to in paragraph 2 indicates that the requisite conditions have been met, the competent authorities at the border control posts in all Member States shall perform coordinated intensified official controls.

               Article 4
               Procedures for the coordinated performance of intensified official controls

               1.The competent authorities at the border control posts in all Member States shall carry out the identity and physical checks referred to in Article 49 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 on each consignment coming from the same establishment of origin and containing the same category of goods, for the same type of infringement, as indicated in the IMSOC in accordance with Article 3(1).

               2.For the controls referred to in paragraph 1, the consignments shall be selected on the basis of the codes from the Combined Nomenclature indicated in IMSOC in accordance with Article 3(1).

               3.Where these codes are not specific enough to properly identify the category of goods, the competent authorities at border control posts shall only subject consignments selected on the basis of these codes to the coordinated performance of intensified official controls if they correspond to the description of the goods indicated in accordance with Article 3(1).

               4.The competent authorities shall record in the IMSOC the reasons for not subjecting a selected consignment to the coordinated performance of intensified official controls in accordance with paragraph 3.

               Article 5
               Imposed checks

               1.If, during the coordinated performance of intensified official controls, three consignments entering the Union reveal the same type of infringement indicated in the notification referred to in Article 3(1), the Commission shall request the competent authority of the third country, in which the establishment of origin of the non-compliant consignments is located, to:

               (a)make the necessary investigations to identify the reasons for the infringements (‘imposed checks’);

               (b)adopt an action plan in relation to the establishment of origin to effectively remedy the situation; and

               (c)report back on the actions referred to in points (a) and (b), including the results of the action plan.

               2.The Commission shall closely monitor the results of the imposed checks and the action plan and take further action, including measures in accordance with Article 53 of Regulation (EC) 178/2002 and Article 127(4) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, when:

               (a)the competent authority of the third country does not take appropriate action to effectively remedy the situation; or

               (b)the competent authorities of the Member States continue to notify unsatisfactory results of the coordinated performance of intensified official controls.

               Article 6
               Termination of the coordinated performance of intensified official controls

               1.The coordinated performance of intensified official controls shall end in the following cases:

               (a)when a competent authority decides to withdraw its notification referred to in Article 3(1) and informs the Commission and the other Member States thereof through the IMSOC, indicating the reasons justifying their decision; or

               (b)when the following conditions are met:

               (i)an uninterrupted sequence of at least 10 satisfactory results in the coordinated performance of intensified official controls has been recorded in the IMSOC by the competent authorities of the border control posts of the Member States; and

               (ii)the total weight of the consignments referred to in point (i) reaches at least 10 times the weight of the consignment to which the notification referred to in Article 3(1) relates, or a net weight of 300 tons, whichever is the lowest.

               2. However, where the Commission has requested imposed checks in accordance with point (a) of Article 5(1), the coordinated performance of intensified official controls shall end when:

               (a)an uninterrupted sequence of at least 30 satisfactory results in the coordinated performance of intensified official controls has been recorded in the IMSOC by the competent authorities of the border control posts of the Member States; and

               (b)the competent authority of the third country has adopted a satisfactory action plan in accordance with point (b) of Article 5(1).

               Article 7
               Costs of the coordinated performance of intensified official controls

               The costs of the coordinated performance of intensified official controls shall be at the expense of the operator responsible for the consignments that are subject to those controls.

               Article 8
               Consignments excluded from the coordinated performance of intensified official controls

               1.
                     The competent authorities may exclude a consignment from the coordinated performance of intensified official controls, if the consignment is to be refused entry into the Union in accordance with Article 66(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 on grounds other than the infringement for which the coordinated intensified official controls are performed.

               2.
                     The competent authorities shall record in the IMSOC the reasons for the exclusion of a consignment from the coordinated performance of intensified official controls in accordance with paragraph 1.

               Article 9
               Entry into force and application

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

               It shall apply from 14 December 2019.

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