         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/2154
         of 16 December 2019
         opening a tariff quota for the year 2020 for the import into the Union of certain goods originating in Norway resulting from the processing of agricultural products covered by Regulation (EU) No 510/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         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 (1), and in particular Article 16(1)(a) thereof,
         Having regard to Council Decision 2004/859/EC of 25 October 2004 concerning the conclusion of an Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway on Protocol 2 to the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     The Decision of the EEA joint committee No 140/2001 of 23 November 2001 amending Protocols 2 and 3 to the EEA Agreement, concerning processed and other agricultural products (3) determines the trade arrangements between the Union and the Kingdom of Norway for certain agricultural and processed agricultural products between the Contracting Parties.

                     (2)

                     The Decision of the EEA joint committee No 140/2001 provides for a zero rate of duty for waters containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured, classified under CN code 2202 10 00, and other non-alcoholic beverages not containing products of headings 0401 to 0404 or fat obtained from products of headings 0401 to 0404, classified under CN codes 2202 91 00 and 2202 99.

                     (3)

                     The Union zero rate of duty for those waters and those other beverages has temporarily been suspended for Norway, for an undetermined period of time, by the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters between the European Community and the Kingdom of Norway concerning Protocol 2 to the bilateral Free Trade Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (4) (‘the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters’). In accordance with the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters, duty-free imports of goods with CN codes 2202 10 00, ex 2202 91 00 and ex 2202 99 that originate in Norway are to be allowed only within the limits of a duty-free quota. A duty is to be paid for imports that exceed that duty-free quota.

                     (4)

                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1968 (5) opening a tariff quota for the year 2019 for the import into the Union of certain goods originating in Norway resulting from the processing of agricultural products covered by Regulation (EU) No 510/2014 opened a tariff quota for the year 2019 for the import into the Union of goods originating in Norway and classified under CN codes 2202 10 00, ex 2202 91 00 and ex 2202 99.

                     (5)

                     The Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters requires that if the tariff quota laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1968 has been exhausted by 31 October 2019, the tariff quota applicable from 1 January of the following year is to be increased by 10 %.

                     (6)

                     The annual tariff quota for 2019 for the waters and beverages in question, opened by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1968, and which was of a volume of 20,936 million litres, was exhausted on 4 September 2019. Therefore, an increased annual tariff quota should be opened for the waters and beverages in question for the period from 1 January to 31 December 2020. In line with the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters, the quota for 2020 should therefore be opened for a 10 % higher volume, which is 23,029 million litres.

                     (7)

                     The tariff quota opened by this Regulation should be managed in accordance with the relevant rules laid down in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (6).

                     (8)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on horizontal questions concerning trade in processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1

               1.   From 1 January to 31 December 2020, the duty free tariff quota set out in the Annex is opened for goods originating in Norway which are listed in that Annex, under the conditions specified therein.

               3.   For quantities imported above the quota volume set out in the Annex, a preferential duty of 0,047 EUR/litre shall apply.

            Article 2
            The duty free tariff quota referred to in Article 1(1) shall be managed by the Commission in accordance with Articles 49 to 54 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/2163
         of 17 December 2019
         fixing the trigger volumes for the years 2020 and 2021 for the purposes of possible application of additional import duties on certain fruit and vegetables
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular point (b) of the first paragraph of Article 183 thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Article 39 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892 (2) provides that an additional import duty as referred to in Article 182(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 may be applied to the products and during the periods listed in Annex VII to that Implementing Regulation. That additional import duty has to apply if the quantity of any of the products put into free circulation for any of the periods of application set out in that Annex exceeds the trigger volume of imports in a year for that product. Additional import duties shall not be imposed where the imports are unlikely to disturb the Union market, or where the effects would be disproportionate to the intended objective.

                     (1)

                     In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 182(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the trigger volumes of imports for the possible application of additional import duties on certain fruit and vegetables are based on import data and domestic consumption data for the previous three years. On the basis of the data notified by the Member States for the years 2016, 2017 and 2018, the trigger volumes for certain fruit and vegetables should be fixed for the years 2020 and 2021.

                     (2)

                     Taking into account that the period of application of possible additional import duties as set out in Annex VII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892 starts for a number of products on 1 January, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2020 and therefore it should enter into force as soon as possible,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            For the years 2020 and 2021, the trigger volumes referred to in point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 182(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 for the products listed in Annex VII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/892 are 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.
            It shall apply from 1 January 2020.
            It shall expire on 30 June 2021.

            This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
            Done at Brussels, 17 December 2019.

            ANNEX

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/2164
         of 17 December 2019
         amending Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products with regard to organic production, labelling and control
         (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 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (1), and in particular Article 16(1) and (3)(a) and Article 21(2) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     In accordance with Article 16(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, several Member States have submitted dossiers on certain substances to the Commission and the other Member States, in view of their authorisation and inclusion in Annexes I, II, VI and VIII to Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (2). Those dossiers have been examined by the Expert Group for Technical Advice on Organic Production (EGTOP) and the Commission.

                     (2)

                     In its recommendations with regard to fertilisers (3) EGTOP concluded, inter alia, that the substances ‘biochar’, ‘mollusc waste and egg shells’ and ‘humic and fulvic acids’ comply with the objectives and principles of organic production. Therefore, those substances should be included in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008. EGTOP also recommended to clarify the definition of ‘calcium carbonate’ set out in that Annex.

                     (3)

                     In its recommendations with regard to plant protection products (4) EGTOP concluded, inter alia, that the substances ‘maltodextrin’, ‘hydrogen peroxide’, ‘terpenes (eugenol, geraniol and thymol)’, ‘sodium chloride’, ‘cerevisane’ and pyrethrins from other plants than Chrysanthemum
                        cinerariaefolium comply with the objectives and principles of organic production. Therefore, those substances should be included in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008. Moreover, EGTOP made recommendations for the structure of that Annex.

                     (4)

                     In its recommendations with regard to feed (5) EGTOP concluded, inter alia, that the substances ‘guar gum’ as a feed additive, ‘sweet chestnut extract’ as a sensory additive, and ‘betaine anhydrous’ for monogastric animals and only from natural or organic origin comply with the objectives and principles of organic production. Therefore, those substances should be included in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008. In that Annex, the reference to some silage additives is unclear and needs to be clarified to avoid confusion.

                     (5)

                     In its recommendations with regard to food (6) EGTOP concluded, inter alia, that the substances ‘glycerol’ as a humectant in gel capsules and surface coating in tablets, ‘bentonite’ as a processing aid, ‘L(+)lactic acid, and sodium hydroxide’ as a processing aid for the extraction of plant proteins and ‘tara gum powder’ as a thickener and ‘hop extract and pine rosin extract’ in sugar production comply with the objectives and principles of organic production. Therefore, those substances should be included in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008. Moreover, EGTOP recommended to require, for tara gum powder, lecithins, glycerol, locust bean gum, gellan gum, arabic gum, guar gum and carnauba wax, that they be produced organically. To allow for sufficient time to adapt to that new requirement, operators should be given a three-year transition period.

                     (6)

                     In Annex VIIIa to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008, some references to the names of additives are unprecise and need to be clarified to avoid confusion.

                     (7)

                     Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (8)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Organic Production,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 is amended as follows:
