   Whereas:

               (1)

               Experience with the implementation of Commission Regulation (EU) No 185/2010 of 4 March 2010 laying down detailed measures for the implementation of the common basic standards on aviation security (2) has shown the need for small amendments to the implementing modalities of certain common basic standards.

               (2)

               Certain specific aviation security measures should be clarified, harmonised or simplified in order to improve legal clarity, standardise the common interpretation of the legislation and further ensure the best implementation of the common basic standards on aviation security.

               (3)

               The amendments concern the implementation of a limited number of measures in relation to access control, aircraft security, screening of cabin baggage and hold baggage, security controls for cargo, mail, in-flight and airport supplies, training of persons and security equipment.

               (4)

               Regulation (EU) No 185/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Civil Aviation Security,

                  GUIDANCE FOR KNOWN CONSIGNORS
                  This guidance will help you to assess your existing security arrangements against the required criteria for known consignors as described in Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on common rules in the field of civil aviation security and its implementing acts. This should enable you to ensure that you meet the requirements before arranging an official on-site validation visit.
                  It is important that the validator is able to talk to the right people during the validation visit (e.g. person responsible for security and person responsible for recruitment of staff). An EU checklist will be used to record the validator’s assessments. Once the validation checklist is completed, the information contained in the checklist will be handled as classified information.
                  Please note that questions on the EU checklist are of two types: (1) those where a negative response will automatically mean that you cannot be accepted as a known consignor and (2) those which will be used to build up a general picture of your security provisions to allow the validator to reach an overall conclusion. The areas where a “fail” will automatically be recorded are indicated by the requirements indicated in bold type below. If there is a “fail” on the requirements indicated in bold type, the reasons will be given to you and advice on adjustments needed to pass.

                     Introduction

                  The cargo must be originated by your company on the site to be inspected. This covers manufacture on the site and pick and pack operations where the items are not identifiable as air cargo until they are selected to meet an order. (See also Note.)
                  You will have to determine where a consignment of cargo/mail becomes identifiable as air cargo/air mail and demonstrate that you have the relevant measures in place to protect it from unauthorised interference or tampering. This will include details concerning the production, packing, storage and/or despatch.

                     Organisation and responsibilities

                  You will be required to provide details about your organisation (name, VAT or Chamber of Commerce number or Corporate registration number if applicable), address of site to be validated and main address of organisation (if different from the site to be validated). The date of the previous validation visit and last unique alphanumeric identifier (if applicable) are required, as well as of the nature of the business, the approximate number of employees on site, name and title of person responsible for air cargo/air mail security and contact details.

                     Staff recruitment procedure

                  You will be required to provide details of your recruitment procedures for all staff (permanent, temporary or agency staff, drivers) with access to identifiable air cargo/air mail. The recruitment procedure shall include a pre-employment check or a background check in accordance with point 11.1 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 185/2010. The on-site validation visit will involve an interview with the person responsible for the recruitment of staff. He/she will need to present evidence (e.g. blank forms) to substantiate the company procedures. This recruitment procedure shall apply to staff recruited after 29 April 2010.

                     Staff security training procedure

                  You will need to demonstrate that all staff (permanent, temporary or agency staff, drivers) with access to air cargo/air mail have received the appropriate training on security awareness matters. This training shall take place in accordance with point 11.2.7 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 185/2010. Individual training records should be kept on file. In addition, you will be required to show that all relevant staff implementing security controls have received training or recurrent training in accordance with chapter 11 of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 185/2010.

                     Physical security

                  You will be required to demonstrate how your site is protected (e.g. a physical fence or barrier) and that relevant access control procedures are in place. Where applicable, you will be required to provide details of any possible alarm- and/or CCTV system. It is essential that access to the area where air cargo/air mail is processed or stored, is controlled. All doors, windows and other points of access to air cargo/air mail need to be secure or subject to access control.

                     Production (where applicable)
                  You will need to demonstrate that access to the production area is controlled and the production process supervised. If the product can be identified as air cargo/air mail in the course of production then you will have to show that measures are taken to protect air cargo/air mail from unauthorised interference or tampering at this stage.

                     Packing (where applicable)
                  You will need to demonstrate that access to the packing area is controlled and the packing process supervised. If the product can be identified as air cargo/air mail in the course of packing then you will have to show that measures are taken to protect air cargo/air mail from unauthorised interference or tampering at this stage.
                  You will be required to provide details of your packing process and show that all finished goods are checked prior to packing.
                  You will need to describe the finished outer packing and demonstrate that it is robust. You also have to demonstrate how the finished outer packing is made tamper evident, for example by the use of numbered seals, security tape, special stamps or cardboard boxes fixed by a tape. You also need to show that you hold those under secure conditions when not in use and control their issue.

                     Storage (where applicable)
                  You will need to demonstrate that access to the storage area is controlled. If the product can be identified as air cargo/air mail while being stored then you will have to show that measures are taken to protect air cargo/air mail from unauthorised interference or tampering at this stage.
                  Finally, you will have to demonstrate that finished and packed air cargo/air mail is checked before despatch.

                     Despatch (where applicable)
                  You will need to demonstrate that access to the despatch area is controlled. If the product can be identified as air cargo/air mail in the course of despatch then you will have to show that measures are taken to protect air cargo/air mail from unauthorised interference or tampering at this stage.

                     Transportation

                  You will have to provide details concerning the method of transportation of cargo/mail to the regulated agent.
                  If you use your own transport, you will have to demonstrate that your drivers have been trained to the required level. If a contractor is used by your company, you will have to ensure that a) the air cargo/air mail is sealed or packed by you so as to ensure that any tampering would be evident and b) the haulier declaration as contained in Attachment 6-E of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 185/2010 has been signed by the haulier.

                  If you are responsible for the transportation of air cargo/air mail, you will have to show that the means of transport are securable, either through the use of seals, if practicable, or any other method. Where numbered seals are used, you will have to demonstrate that access to the seals is controlled and numbers are recorded; if other methods are used you will have to show how cargo/mail is made tamper evident and/or kept secure. In addition you will need to show that there are measures in place to verify the identity of the drivers of vehicles collecting your air cargo/air mail. You will also need to show that you ensure that cargo/mail is secure when it leaves the premises. You will have to demonstrate that air cargo/air mail is protected from unauthorised interference during transportation.

                  You will not have to provide evidence about driver training or a copy of the haulier declaration where a regulated agent has made the transport arrangements for collecting air cargo/air mail from your premises.

                     Consignor’s responsibilities

                     You will need to declare that you will accept unannounced inspections by the appropriate authority’s inspectors for the purpose of monitoring these standards.

                     You will also need to declare to provide [name of appropriate authority] with the relevant details promptly but at least within 10 working days if:

                                 (a)

                                 the overall responsibility for security is assigned to anyone other than the person named;

                                 (b)

                                 there are any other changes to premises or procedures likely to significantly impact on security;

                                 (c)

                                 your company ceases trading, no longer deals with air cargo/air mail or can no longer meet the requirements of the relevant EU legislation.

                     Finally, you will need to declare to maintain standards of security until the subsequent on-site validation visit and/or inspection.

                  You will then be required to accept full responsibility for the declaration and to sign the validation document.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/2149
   of 7 December 2016
   approving non-minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Noix de Grenoble (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 Article 15(1) and Article 52(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission examined France's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Noix de Grenoble’, registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 (2), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1204/2003 (3).

               (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
                   (4), as required by Article 50(2)(a) of that Regulation.

               (3)

               By letters received on 18 December 2014 and 31 July 2015, the French authorities notified the Commission that the companies Les Jumelles Ets Huot, ZA Les Creux, 26600 Gervans and SN Comptoir rhodanien, ZA Les Lots, 26600 Tain-l'Hermitage, which are established on their territory, outside the geographical area in question, had been legally marketing the product sold under the name ‘Noix de Grenoble’, as nut packaging companies, using this name continuously for more than 5 years, and that this point had been raised during the national opposition procedure. Following the amendments to the specification, the two companies will be unable to use the registered name since the product must be packaged in the geographical area.

               (4)

               Since the companies Les Jumelles Ets Huot, ZA Les Creux, 26600 Gervans and SN Comptoir rhodanien, ZA Les Lots, 26600 Tain-l'Hermitage meet the requirements laid down in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 for the granting of a transitional period in which to make legal use of the sales name after amendments to the specification, they should be granted a transitional period of 5 years starting from the date on which the amendments are approved, during which time they may make use of the name ‘Noix de Grenoble’.

               (5)

               As no statement of opposition under Article 51 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 has been received by the Commission, the amendments to the specification should be approved.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Agricultural Product Quality Policy Committee,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The amendments to the specification published in the Official Journal of the European Union regarding the name ‘Noix de Grenoble’ (PDO) are hereby approved.
   Article 2
   The companies Les Jumelles Ets Huot, ZA Les Creux, 26600 Gervans and SN Comptoir rhodanien, ZA Les Lots, 26600 Tain-l'Hermitage are hereby authorised to continue to use the registered name ‘Noix de Grenoble’ (PDO) for 5 years from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

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

His companies were notably awarded several highly lucrative contracts for the preparations of the Sochi Olympic Games.
                  He is a major shareholder of Giprotransmost, a company which has received a public procurement contract by a Russian State-owned Company to conduct the feasibility study of the construction of a bridge from Russia to the illegally annexed Autonomous Republic of Crimea, therefore consolidating its integration into the Russian Federation which in turn further undermines the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

                  Therefore Mr. Malofeev is acting in support of the destabilisation of Eastern Ukraine.

                  Furthermore, Bank Rossiya has important stakes in the National Media Group which in turn controls television stations which actively support the Russian government's policies of destabilisation of Ukraine.

                  JOINT-STOCK COMPANY CONCERN ALMAZ-ANTEY (a.k.a. ALMAZ-ANTEY CORP; a.k.a. ALMAZ-ANTEY DEFENSE CORPORATION; a.k.a. ALMAZ-ANTEY JSC;),

                  Email Address antey@almaz-antey.ru

                  Almaz-Antei is a Russian state-owned company. It manufactures anti-aircraft weaponry including surface-to-air missiles which it supplies to the Russian army. The Russian authorities have been providing heavy weaponry to separatists in Eastern Ukraine, contributing to the destabilization of Ukraine. These weapons are used by the separatists, including for shooting down airplanes. As a state-owned company, Almaz-Antei therefore contributes to the destabilization of Ukraine.

                  Dobrolet is a subsidiary of a Russian state-owned airline. Since the illegal annexation of Crimea Dobrolet has so far exclusively operated flights between Moscow and Simferopol. It therefore facilitates the integration of the illegally annexed Autonomous Republic of Crimea into the Russian Federation and undermines Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.

                  RUSSIAN NATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK

                  License of the Central Bank of Russia No. 1354
                  Russian Federation, 127 030 Moscow, Krasnoproletarskaya street 9/5.

                  After the illegal annexation of Crimea, Russian National Commercial Bank (RNCB) became fully owned by the so-called ‘Republic of Crimea’. It has become the dominant player in the market, while it had no presence in Crimea before the annexation. By buying or taking over from branches of retreating banks operating in Crimea, RNCB supported materially and financially the actions of the Russian government to integrate Crimea into the Russian Federation, thus undermining Ukraine's territorial integrity.
