         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/522
         of 27 March 2019
         amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 as regards the reporting of data on production and on imports and exports of polyols containing hydrofluorocarbons pursuant to Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014
         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 19(7) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 (2) specifies the means and format for the report to be submitted pursuant to Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014, in relation to the use of certain fluorinated greenhouse gases as feedstock or where products or equipment which contain those gases are placed on the market by producers, importers and exporters of those gases and by undertakings that destroy those gases.

                     (2)

                     Decision XXX/10 (3) of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer to the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer (4) (Montreal Protocol) sets out the revised reporting forms to be used for reporting on controlled substances, including on hydrofluorocarbon-23 (HFC-23) by-production and imports and exports of polyols containing hydrofluorocarbons following the global entry into force of the Kigali Amendment to that Protocol regarding the phase-down of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) on 1 January 2019 (5).

                     (3)

                     The reporting format set out in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 should be amended in order to align it with the reporting format set out in Decision XXX/10 used by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol. This would enable the Union to comply with its reporting obligations under the Montreal Protocol.

                     (4)

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

         approving non-minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications ‘Vitellone Bianco dell'Appennino Centrale’ (PGI)
         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 Article 52(2) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     By virtue of the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission has examined Italy's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Vitellone Bianco dell'Appennino Centrale’, registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 (2).

                     (2)

                     Since the amendments in question are not minor within the meaning of Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission published the amendment application in the Official Journal of the European Union (3) as required by Article 50(2)(a) of that Regulation.

         amending Regulation (EC) No 1635/2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 737/90 by reason of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the Union
         (Text with EEA relevance)
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 733/2008 of 15 July 2008 on the conditions governing imports of agricultural products originating in third countries following the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the ‘United Kingdom’) submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. The Treaties will cease to apply to the United Kingdom from the date of entry into force of a withdrawal agreement or failing that, two years after that notification, unless the European Council, in agreement with the United Kingdom, unanimously decides to extend that period. The United Kingdom will then become a third country.

                     (2)

                     Commission Regulation (EC) No 1635/2006 (2) requires Member States to ensure that the competent authorities of third countries affected by the Chernobyl accident issue export certificates which attest that the products that they accompany comply with the maximum permitted levels set out in Regulation (EC) No 733/2008. The specific third countries are listed in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1635/2006.

                     (3)

                     Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/370 (3) amended Regulation (EC) No 1635/2006 in order to place the United Kingdom in Annex II to that Regulation. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/370 is to apply from the date following that on which the Treaties cease to apply to and in the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 50(3) of the Treaty on European Union, unless a withdrawal agreement has entered into force by that date or the two year period referred to in Article 50(3) of the Treaty on European Union has been extended.

                     (4)

                     At the request of the United Kingdom, the European Council decided on 22 March 2019 to extend the period referred to in Article 50(3) of the Treaty on European Union. Consequently, the conditions for the application of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/370, as specified in Article 2 of that Regulation, can no longer be fulfilled.

                     (5)

                     Therefore, Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1635/2006 should be amended accordingly and the conditions for the application of that amendment should be laid down.

                     (6)

                     This Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency.

                     (7)

                     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
            In Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1635/2006, the following entry is added:

               ‘United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’.

            Article 2
            This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
            It shall apply from the day following that on which Union law ceases to apply to and in the United Kingdom.

         Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 510/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 1216/2009 and (EC) No 614/2009 (2), and in particular Article 5(6)(a) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Commission Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 (3) lays down detailed rules for implementing the system of additional import duties and fixes representative prices in the poultrymeat and egg sectors and for egg albumin.

                     (2)

                     Regular monitoring of the data used to determine representative prices for poultrymeat and egg products and for egg albumin shows that the representative import prices for certain products should be amended to take account of variations in price according to origin.

                     (3)

                     Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (4)

                     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,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1484/95 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

            Article 2
            This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
