         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1117/2014
   of 22 October 2014
   on advances of direct payments to be paid from 16 October 2014 in Latvia and Lithuania
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 of 19 January 2009 establishing common rules for direct support schemes for farmers under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers, amending Regulations (EC) No 1290/2005, (EC) No 247/2006, (EC) No 378/2007 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 (1), and in particular Article 29(4)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 29(2) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 provides that payments under support schemes listed in Annex 1 to that Regulation are to be made within the period from 1 December to 30 June of the following year. However, Article 29(4)(a) of that Regulation permits the Commission to provide for advances.

               (2)

               Article 29(5) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 provides that Member States may, from 16 October 2014, pay advances of up to 50 % of the direct payments under the support schemes listed in Annex 1 to that Regulation in respect of applications made in 2014.

               (3)

               The decision of Russia to impose a ban on imports of agricultural products from the Union has caused severe financial problems in the agricultural sectors of several Member States, of which Latvia and Lithuania requested to be authorised to provide for advances exceeding the 50 % referred to in Article 29(5) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.

               (4)

               In order to help to alleviate these difficulties by making it possible for farmers to absorb losses following the embargo until a stabilization of markets is obtained it is appropriate to allow for farmers in Latvia and Lithuania to receive advance payments of up to 70 % of the support schemes listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009.

               (5)

               According to Article 26(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), the Commission may adapt the adjustment rate for direct payments until 1 December on the basis of new information in its possession. As a consequence, the adjustment rate of financial discipline referred to in Article 26 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 and Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) eventually applied may not be known by 16 October 2014. Therefore the maximum advances that can be paid should be set as a percentage of the direct payments before the adjustment referred to in Article 26 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013. The balance payment as from 1 December 2014 should take into account the adjustment rate of financial discipline applicable at that time.

               (6)

               In order to enable payment of the advances as of 16 October 2014, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Latvia and Lithuania may pay, from 16 October 2014, advances to farmers of up to 70 % of the direct payments listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 in respect of applications made in 2014 without taking into account the reductions due to financial discipline provided for in Article 26 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 and Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, provided that the verification of the eligibility conditions pursuant to Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 has been finalised. The balance payment to be granted to beneficiaries as from 1 December 2014 shall take into account the adjustment rate of financial discipline applicable at that time for the total amount of direct payments in respect of calendar year 2014.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day 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.

   of 21 November 2013
   entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Pâté de Campagne Breton (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)

               Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (2).

               (2)

               Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, France’s application to register the name ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (3).

               (3)

               The Netherlands stated its opposition to the registration under Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. That opposition was deemed admissible under Article 7(3) of the Regulation.

               (4)

               The statement of opposition related essentially to non-compliance with the conditions set out in Article 2(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 and specifically to the fact that the raw material, i.e. pigmeat, must come from pig breeds recognised in France and is not subject to objective quality criteria.

               (5)

               By letter of 24 October 2012 the Commission asked the interested parties to hold appropriate consultations.

               (6)

               France and the Netherlands reached agreement within the stipulated six-month period. Under that agreement, minor amendments were made to the specification and the single document by deleting the paragraphs relating to the pigs’ genetics and replacing them by objective criteria introducing a causal link between the quality of the pigmeat and that of the end product.

               (7)

               The name ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ should therefore be entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications; the single document should be adapted and the amended version of it published,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The name contained in Annex I to this Regulation is hereby entered in the register.
   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.

      2.   Member State or third country

      France
      3.   Description of the agricultural product or foodstuff

      3.1.   Type of product

                  Class 1.2.

                  Meat products (cooked, salted, smoked, etc.)

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

      ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ is a pure pork pâté made from pigmeat and pig offal. It must contain the following meat ingredients: skinned throats (≥ 25 %), liver (≥ 20 %), cooked rinds (≥ 5 %) and fresh onions (≥ 5 %). The meat ingredients and the onions must be fresh.
      ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ is composed of several large, coarsely minced pieces distributed uniformly throughout a slice. Its colour is darkish, its texture firm and it has a pronounced taste of meat, liver and onions.
      In addition to the ingredients which must be present in ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’, non-meat ingredients represent a maximum of 15 % of the total mass used, onions excluded: water (in all its forms), broth ≤ 5 %, sugars (saccharose, dextrose, lactose) ≤ 1 %, fresh whole eggs, fresh egg whites ≤ 2 % by weight of dry matter/stuffing, flour, starches ≤ 3 %, ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate (max. 0,03 % of the total mass used), jelly and pig’s G gelatin, salt: ≤ 2 %, pepper: ≤ 0,3 %, other spices (nutmeg, garlic, shallot, parsley, thyme, laurel), ciders and apple-based spirits (eau-de-vie, lambig, etc.), Chouchen, sodium or potassium nitrite, plain caramel for the browning.
      The following ingredients, taken together, must not exceed 1,7 % of the total mass used: jelly and pig’s G gelatin, nutmeg, garlic, shallot, parsley, thyme, laurel, ciders and apple-based spirits (eau-de-vie, lambig, etc.), Chouchen, sodium or potassium nitrite.
      During production, the diameter of the chopped pieces is varied according to the shape of the pâtés in order to achieve a satisfying appearance, whatever the size of the slice:

                  —

                  For packaging sizes ≥ 200 g => diameter of pieces ≥ 8 mm,

                  —

                  For packaging sizes ≥ 200 g => diameter of pieces ≥ 6 mm.

            The pieces are then mixed with the fine stuffing consisting of the minced meat and non-meat ingredients. The fats may be scalded and added warm to the stuffing. The stuffing is then packed and cooked in the oven or aseptically canned (packed in a metal can, a glass bowl or a jar).
      In the case of products that are presented fresh, the preparation is covered with a fresh pig’s caul and cooked in the oven in order to obtain a characteristic crust. The preserved pâtés are browned in the oven until a brown crust forms and then set and sterilised.
      3.3.   Raw materials (for processed products only)

      In order to reduce the presence of animals bearing genetically unfavourable characteristics, the pigs must be free of allele RN less.
      The meats used in the production of ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ must derive from pig carcasses weighing more than 80 kilograms. Carcasses that are too light and of low nutritional and technological quality are excluded.
      In order to limit stress, which is detrimental to the quality of the meat and fat, the animals must be free of the allele making them sensitive to halothane and there must be a minimum period of two hours between the unloading of the animal at the slaughterhouse and the time of slaughter.
      3.4.   Feed (for products of animal origin only)

      The specification does not refer to any specific requirements.
      3.5.   Specific steps in production that must take place in the defined geographical area

      The production of ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ is carried out in the geographical area.
      3.6.   Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc.

      ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ is presented:

                  —

                  either fresh and packed in a terrine, under film or a modified atmosphere or under vacuum, or

                  fresh and cut at the place of production, or

                  —

                  fresh, sliced and packed under film or a modified atmosphere or under vacuum for self-service sale, or

                  —

                  aseptically canned and packed in a glass bowl, a metal can or a jar.

            Its weight varies between 40 g and 10 kg.
      3.7.   Specific rules concerning labelling

      The labelling must include the following elements: the name of the PGI, ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’, the name and address of the certifying body and, if applicable, its certified collective mark pursuant to the rules governing its use, as well as the European Union PGI logo.
      4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

      The geographical area is the traditional production area of this product. It comprises the total areas of the following departments: Côtes-d’Armor, Finistère, Ille-et-Vilaine, Loire-Atlantique and Morbihan.
      5.   Link with the geographical area

      5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

      Historic Brittany corresponds to the traditional production area of ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’. Brittany has a centuries-long charcuterie-making tradition. In the days of Ducal Brittany in the 16th century, Breton families slaughtered their pigs and made their own cured meats.
      Bretons have turned this distinctive factor to good use in the production of a wide variety of charcuterie products, in particular ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’, which made it possible to avoid wasting offal and meat leftovers from the cutting up of a pig.
      5.2.   Specificity of the product

      The specificity of ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ is based on a specific quality and special know-how as well as on the product’s reputation.
      A.   Specific quality

      The liver, the throat, the rind and possibly the edible parts of the head or the heart went into making Pâté de Campagne Breton’. The liver, which was considered a fine part of the animal, gives the pâté its taste, colour, smoothness and special flavour. Throats, cooked rinds and onions are three other indispensable traditional ingredients of ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’, which also contribute to the product’s specific organoleptic characteristics. The onions, found in most traditional Breton recipes, are used for seasoning.
      The liver, lean meat and fat used in the product must be minced coarsely. The presence of large pieces of meat has to do with the production methods used formerly. Today, in order to preserve this special feature, charcuterie producers must master the mincing method in order to obtain pieces with a large diameter.
      The presence of a caul on top of the pâté, formerly used to shape the filling and protect the product, is still an obligatory feature of ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ when presented fresh, in order to preserve its traditional appearance.
      This makes it possible to obtain specific organoleptic characteristics: a firm and crisp texture, a pronounced taste of meat, cooked pork, liver and onions.
      B.   Another characteristic: special know-how

      The former practice was to use the meats immediately after the pig was cut up. In the old days, the mechanical tools (meat axes, knives) used to cut up the pig and the meats resulted in large pieces and therefore in a coarsely minced pâté de campagne.
      ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ used to be cooked in the baker’s or village’s bread oven, in open dishes called ‘plats sabots’ or ‘casse à pâté’ or in receptacles. Cooking in a dry oven in open dishes causes the sugars to caramelise and provokes reactions that contribute to the brown colour of the crust. Prior to cooking, the pâté was also covered with a pig’s caul intended to smoothen, shape and protect the preparation. It prevented the stuffing from running out and the product from drying. ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ owes its specificities to its production method, which has been passed on from generation to generation in the charcuterie trade and is officially recognised, as shown by the fact that a special definition of it is included in the ‘Code des usages de la Charcuterie, de la Salaison et des Conserves de Viandes’, under the category ‘Pâté de campagne supérieur’.
      C.   A reputation

      In line with the tradition of family-based production, the small-scale production of ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ has been maintained over the years. In olden times, this home-made dish was prepared after the ‘Fest an oc’h’, a feast held in connection with the sacrifice of pigs.
      True to its reputation, ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ has an important place in France’s culinary heritage.
      For more than 30 years, Brittany’s manufacturers have worked together to perpetuate the reputation and specificity of ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’. It is a charcuterie product that is appreciated by distributors and consumers alike.
      Brittany’s fish canning industry developed strongly at the end of the 19th century. Soon these companies started preserving other foods too by canning them aseptically. In fact, ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ was canned aseptically for the first time several decades ago. Nowadays, consumers appreciate both fresh and aseptically canned ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’.
      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)

      ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ derives from a long tradition of pig rearing and from the processing of pigs at their place of rearing. Very early on, Brittany’s agricultural system started focusing on rearing, in particular on the rearing of pigs on each holding.
      In this way producers learned to process all of the pieces of meat at their disposal. As production started immediately after the animal was cut up, the freshness of the product was guaranteed at a time when meat preservation methods were limited.
      Traditionally, all the edible parts of the pig were used, which gave the product a particular texture and taste. The use of livers, considered a fine part of the pig at the beginning of the 20th century, soon became one of the principal characteristics of ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’, giving it a pinkish colour and a very specific taste.
      Producers made use of the extensive range of vegetables grown locally by introducing onions into ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’. The presence of onions contributes to the product’s particular taste, because during cooking, the fruity taste of the onions comes to the fore and complements the meaty taste perfectly.
      ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ results from the know-how of the producers, who have succeeded in giving the product special characteristics. In addition to the ingredients used, the coarse mincing of the meat pieces makes it easy to identify the product when it is sliced. The brown crust is linked definitively to the product through a traditional cooking process in communal ovens.
      As regards the pâté’s reputation, several works classify ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ as a traditional Breton product or give its recipe. Many Breton guides, such as ‘Le Finistère gourmand 1997/1998’, contain references to the numerous Breton specialities and praise ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ in particular. Similarly, the ‘Terroir de Bretagne’ guide praises the Breton charcuterie tradition: ‘(…) Forty, even fifty, kilograms of “Pâté de Campagne Breton” are produced every week by a country charcuterie-maker. Each producer jealously guards his own recipe, although all adhere to the following basic proportions: 1/3 offal and 2/3 throat (…)’. ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ is referred to in numerous old and new cookbooks:

                  —

                  ‘Gastronomie bretonne d’hier et d’aujourd’hui’ (S. Morand, 1965),

                  —

                  ‘Les cuisines de France — Bretagne’ (M. Raffael and D. Lozambard, 1990),

                  —

                  ‘Tout est bon dans le cochon’ (J. C. Frentz, C. Vence, 1988),

                  —

                  ‘L’inventaire du patrimoine culinaire de la France, Bretagne — Produits du terroir et recettes traditionnelles’ (CNAC, 1994),

                  —

                  ‘Le bottin gourmand’ 1996,

                  —

                  ‘La France des saveurs’, Gallimard 1997,

                  —

                  ‘Vivre ici, hors Bretagne’ 1994.

            The product’s reputation is thus well linked to its name and attributable to the geographical area.
      These factors taken together make it very easy to distinguish ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ from other pâtés and guarantee a typical method of production rooted in the product’s region of origin.

                              Judge at the regional court in Shklov. In January 2012 he decided to transfer former Presidential candidate and opposition activist N. Statkevich to a closed-type prison in Mogilov on the mere basis of alleged violations of the rules of imprisonment in Shklov penal colony IK-17. This decision has thus led to breaches of N. Statkevich's human rights including sleep deprivation and threatening his health.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/144
   of 26 January 2017
   on the issue of licences for importing rice under the tariff quotas opened for the January 2017 subperiod by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011
   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 Article 188 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 (2) opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex I to that Implementing Regulation.

               (2)

               January is the first subperiod for the quotas provided for under Article 1(1)(a) to (d) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011.

               (3)

               The notifications sent in accordance with point (a) of Article 8 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 show that, for the quotas with order number 09.4112 — 09.4116 — 09.4117 — 09.4118 — 09.4119 — 09.4154 and 09.4166, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of January 2017 under Article 4(1) of that Implementing Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested under the quotas concerned, calculated in accordance with Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (3).

               (4)

               Those notifications also show that, for the quotas with order number 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4148 — 09.4149 — 09.4150 — 09.4152 and 09.4153, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of January 2017 under Article 4(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 cover a quantity less than that available.

               (5)

               The total quantity available for the following subperiod should also be fixed for the quotas with order number 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4148 — 09.4149 — 09.4150 — 09.4152 — 09.4153 — 09.4154 — 09.4112 — 09.4116 — 09.4117 — 09.4118 — 09.4119 and 09.4166, in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 5 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011.

               (6)

               In order to ensure sound management of the procedure of issuing import licences, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   For import licence applications for rice under the quotas with order number 09.4112 — 09.4116 — 09.4117 — 09.4118 — 09.4119 — 09.4154 and 09.4166 referred to in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 lodged in the first 10 working days of January 2017, licences shall be issued for the quantity requested, multiplied by the allocation coefficient set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   2.   The total quantity available for the following subperiod under the quotas with order number 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4148 — 09.4149 — 09.4150 — 09.4152 — 09.4153 — 09.4154 — 09.4112 — 09.4116 — 09.4117 — 09.4118 — 09.4119 and 09.4166 referred to in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 is set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (the ‘basic Regulation’),
   Having regard to Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1106/2013 of 5 November 2013 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of certain stainless steel wires originating in India (2) and in particular Article 2 thereof,
   Whereas:
   A.   MEASURES IN FORCE

               (1)

               By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1106/2013, the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports into the Union of wire of stainless steel containing by weight:

                           —

                           2,5 % or more of nickel, other than wire containing by weight 28 % or more but not more than 31 % of nickel and 20 % or more but not more than 22 % of chromium,

                           —

                           less than 2,5 % of nickel, other than wire containing by weight 13 % or more but not more than 25 % of chromium and 3,5 % or more but not more than 6 % of aluminium,

                     currently falling within CN codes 7223 00 19 and 7223 00 99, and originating in India (‘the product concerned’).

               (2)

               In the investigation which led to the imposition of a definitive anti-dumping duty a large number of exporting producers from India cooperated. As a result, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) selected a sample of Indian exporting producers to be investigated.

               (3)

               The Council imposed individual duty rates on imports of the product concerned ranging from 0 % to 12,5 % for the sampled companies and the weighted average duty of 5 % for the cooperating non-sampled companies.

               (4)

               The Council also imposed a countrywide duty of 12,5 % on all other companies which either did not make themselves known or did not cooperate with the investigation.

               (5)

               Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1106/2013 states that where any new exporting producer from India provides sufficient evidence to the Commission that:

                           (a)

                           it did not export the product concerned to the Union during the period on which the measures are based, that is from 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012 (‘the investigation period’);

                           (b)

                           it is not related to an exporter or producer subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by that Regulation; and

                           (c)

                           it has either actually exported the product concerned to the Union after the investigation period or has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity of the product concerned to the Union after the investigation period,

                     then Article 1(2) of that Regulation may be amended by granting the new exporting producer the duty rate applicable to the cooperating companies not included in the sample, namely the weighted average duty of 5 %.

         B.   NEW EXPORTING PRODUCER'S REQUEST

               (6)

               The Indian companies Superon Schweisstechnik India Ltd (‘the first applicant’) and Anand ARC Ltd (‘the second applicant’) requested to be granted the duty rate applicable to the cooperating companies not included in the sample (‘new exporting producer treatment’ or ‘NEPT’).

               (7)

               An examination has been carried out in order to determine whether the applicants fulfil the criteria for being granted NEPT as set out in Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1106/2013.

               (8)

               A questionnaire was sent to the applicants asking them to supply evidence that they met all of the criteria set out above in Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1106/2013.

               (9)

               The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of determining whether the applicants meet the three criteria to be granted NEPT. Verification visits were carried out at the premises of:

                           —

                           Superon Schweisstechnik India Ltd, Gurgaon,

                           —

                           Anand ARC Ltd, Mumbai.

               (10)

               The first applicant has provided sufficient evidence to prove that it meets the three criteria mentioned in Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1106/2013. The first applicant in fact could prove that:

                           (i)

                           it did not export the product concerned to the Union during the period from 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012;

                           (ii)

                           it is not related to any of the exporters of producers in India which are subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1106/2013; and

                           (iii)

                           it actually exported a significant quantity of 30 tonnes of the product concerned to the Union starting in October 2012;

                     and therefore can be granted the duty rate applicable to the cooperating companies not included in the sample, i.e. 5 %, in accordance with Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1106/2013, and should be added to the list of Indian cooperating exporting producers not included in the sample.

               (11)

               The second applicant, however, failed to meet the first criterion because it exported the product concerned to the Union during the investigation period. Its request for NEPT was therefore rejected.

               (12)

               The Commission informed the applicants and the Union industry of the above findings and gave them the opportunity to comment. One exporting producer requested retroactive application of the decision. However, such possibility is not foreseen in the current procedure and the exporting producer was informed accordingly. No other comments were received.

               (13)

               A new TARIC additional code (B997) needs to be attributed to the first applicant. Purely for technical integration reasons in TARIC, this Regulation should amend Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 861/2013 (3) by attributing the same TARIC additional code (B997) to the first applicant.

               (14)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/49 (4) has been adopted without obtaining the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation. In order to ensure legal certainty and protect legitimate expectations, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/49 should therefore be repealed and its content readopted with effects as from the entry into force of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/49.

               (15)

               This Regulation is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/419
      of 9 March 2017
      approving the basic substance Urtica spp. in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, and amending the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
      (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 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market and repealing Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC (1), and in particular Article 23(5) in conjunction with Article 13(2) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  In accordance with Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Commission received on 18 August 2015 an application from the Institut Technique de l'Agriculture Biologique (ITAB) for the approval of Urtica spp. as a basic substance. That application was accompanied by the information required by the second subparagraph of Article 23(3). In addition, the Commission received on 5 January 2016 an application from Myosotis for the approval of nettle as a basic substance. Considering that this application also concerns Urtica spp., but with a different proposed use, the Commission merged the assessment of both applications.

                  (2)

                  The Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’) for scientific assistance. The Authority presented to the Commission a Technical Report on the substance concerned on 28 July 2016 (2). The Commission presented the review report (3) and a draft of this Regulation to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed on 7 December 2016 and finalised them for the meeting of that Committee on 24 January 2017.

                  (3)

                  The documentation provided by the applicant shows that Urtica spp. fulfils the criteria of a foodstuff as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). Moreover, it is not predominantly used for plant protection purposes but nevertheless is useful in plant protection in a product consisting of the substance and water. Consequently, it is to be considered as a basic substance.

                  (4)

                  It has appeared from the examinations made that Urtica spp. may be expected to satisfy, in general, the requirements laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in particular with regard to the uses which were examined and detailed in the Commission review report. It is therefore appropriate to approve Urtica spp. as a basic substance.

                  (5)

                  In accordance with Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in conjunction with Article 6 thereof and in the light of current scientific and technical knowledge, it is, however, necessary to include certain conditions for the approval which are detailed in Annex I to this Regulation.

                  (6)

                  In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (5) should be amended accordingly.

                  (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
      Approval of a basic substance
      The substance Urtica spp. as specified in Annex I is approved as a basic substance subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
      Article 2
      Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
      Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
      Article 3
      Entry into force
      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, 9 March 2017.
