      amending Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 laying down lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof authorised for the introduction into the European Union of certain animals and fresh meat and the veterinary certification requirements as regards Bangladesh
      (Text with EEA relevance)
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Council Directive 2004/68/EC of 26 April 2004 laying down animal health rules for the importation into and transit through the Community of certain live ungulate animals, amending Directives 90/426/EEC and 92/65/EEC and repealing Directive 72/462/EEC (1), and in particular first and second subparagraphs of Article 3(1) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  Directive 2004/68/EC lays down, inter alia, the animal health requirements for the importation into and transit through the Union of live ungulates. In accordance with those requirements, the importation of live ungulates into and transit through the Union is only to be authorised from third countries that appear on a list drawn up by the Commission.

                  (2)

                  Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 (2) lays down, inter alia, the conditions for the introduction into the Union of consignments of live ungulates coming from and destined for an approved body, institute or centre, which are to be authorised by the respective Member State of destination. Article 3a(1)(b) thereof provides for lists of third countries, territories or parts thereof from which consignments of such animals may be introduced into the Union.

                  (3)

                  Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 provides for Member States to authorise the introduction into their territory of such consignments, only if an assessment of the animal health risk represented by each consignment has been carried out by the Member States concerned and the third country appears on one of the lists referred to in Article 3a(1)(b).

                  (4)

                  Cyprus has informed the Commission and the other Member States in the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed that it would like to grant authorisation for the introduction of one consignment of live ungulates of the Elephas ssp. from an approved body, institute or centre in Bangladesh to an approved body, institute or centre in Cyprus.

                  (5)

                  Cyprus has carried out an assessment of the animal health risk presented by the specific consignment and furthermore assessed the compliance of the body, centre or institute in Bangladesh with the conditions laid down in Article 3c(2) of Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 with a satisfactory result.

                  (6)

                  As Bangladesh is not included in any of the lists referred to in Article 3a(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 as a third country from which consignments of those animals may be introduced into the Union, Cyprus has requested that Bangladesh be added to the list of third countries, territories or parts thereof set out in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010, to allow for the introduction of live ungulates of the Elephas ssp. from an approved body, institute or centre in Bangladesh to an approved body, institute or centre in Cyprus.

                  (7)

                  Taking into account the animal health situation in Bangladesh, the assessment of the animal health risk related to the specific consignment and the compliance of the approved body, institute or centre with the Union conditions, the authorisation should only apply to a part of the territory of Bangladesh.

                  (8)

                  It is therefore appropriate to amend the list of third countries, territories or parts thereof set out in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010, to add the entry of Bangladesh for a limited period of time in order to authorise only the introduction of live ungulates of the Elephas ssp. from an approved body, institute or centre in Bangladesh to an approved body, institute or centre in Cyprus.

                  (9)

                  Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 should be amended accordingly.

                  (10)

                  As the request from Cyprus concerns one specific consignment, the authorisation should only be granted for a limited period of time to allow for this particular introduction of live ungulates of the Elephas ssp. into Cyprus.

                  (11)

                  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 Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 206/2010, the following entry for Bangladesh is inserted before the entry for Canada:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 973/2014
   of 11 September 2014
   concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (2)

               Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.

               (3)

               Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.

               (4)

               It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at three months.

               (5)

               The Customs Code Committee has not issued an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
   Article 2
   Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months 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.
      Done at Brussels, 11 September 2014.

            For the Commission,

            On behalf of the President,

         Algirdas ŠEMETA

            Member of the Commission

      (1)  OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1.

      (2)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1).

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A product consisting of slightly glutinous and sticky translucent white pieces of approximately 1 cm in length and of approximately 3 mm in diameter. The product is floating in brine, has a gel-like consistency and has an appearance similar to glass noodles. It is put up for retail sale in packs containing 250 g (160 g drained net weight).
                  The product is produced by mixing konjak tuber (Amorphophallus konjac) flour with water containing calcium hydroxide (proportions of the mixture in % by weight: konjak tuber flour 3-7, water 93-97).
                  The mixture is then boiled and the resultant gel is pressed through a mould to give the product its final shape.

                  1901 90 91

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 2 to Chapter 19 and the wording of CN codes 1901, 1901 90 and 1901 90 91.
                  Food preparations of heading 1901 are made with a basis of flour, groats, meal, starch or malt extract. The terms ‘flour’ and ‘meal’ include flour, meal and powder of vegetable origin of any chapter, other than flour, meal or powder of dried vegetables (heading 0712) or of dried leguminous vegetables (heading 1106) (see note 2 to chapter 19). Konjak tubers (whole, ground or powdered) are classified under heading 1212 (see also the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature to heading 1212).
                  Although the product has a gel-like consistency, it is not a mucilage or thickener derived from vegetable products of heading 1302.
                  The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 1901 90 91.

   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 November 2013 an application from the Institut Technique de l'Agriculture Biologique (ITAB) for the approval of lecithins as basic substance. That application was accompanied by the information required by the second subparagraph of Article 23(3).

               (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 August 2014 (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 27 January 2015 and finalised them for the meeting of that Committee of 29 May 2015.

               (3)

               The documentation provided by the applicant shows that lecithins 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 lecithins 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 lecithins 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 lecithins as specified in Annex I is approved as basic substance subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
   Article 2
   Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
   Part C of the Annex to 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.

               (4)

               It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at three months.

               (5)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
   Article 2
   Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months 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.

                  Ring shaped textile cover of woven polyester fabric to be used on tyres of specific car types in order to enhance the function of the tread of the tyre when driving on snow.
                  The inside of the central part of the article is made of threads of strong continuous polyester fibres giving resistance to the structure. The outside of the central part of the article is made of threads of discontinuous polyester fibres of two different dimensions assuring absorption and adherence through the roughness of the surface of the article. Therefore, the central part of the article which covers the part of the tyre making contact with the ground is more tear resistant and has better absorption and adherence features than the other parts.
                  The other parts of the article are covering parts of the sides of the tyre and are constructed in a way to hold the article in place when driving.
                  All parts are assembled by sewing to each other.
                  On one side of the article four stripes of woven polypropylene are attached, functioning as handles to be used when attaching the article to the tyre.
                  See photograph (1).

                  6307 90 98

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 7(f) to Section XI and by the wording of CN codes 6307, 6307 90 and 6307 90 98.
                  Classification as an accessory of subheading 8708 70 is excluded because the article is merely enhancing the function of the tread of the tyre when driving on snow and, thus, it is neither adapting the vehicle for a particular operation, nor increasing its range of operations, nor performing a particular service relative to the main function of the vehicle (see case C-152/10 Unomedical [2011] ECR I-5433, paragraph 29).
                  Consequently and due to the fact that the article is exclusively made of textile material and that the different parts are assembled by sewing, the article is to be classified under CN code 6307 90 98 as ‘other made-up textile articles’.

   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 Regulation (EC) No 1385/2007 (2) opened annual tariff quotas for imports of poultrymeat products.

               (2)

               For some quotas, the quantities covered by the applications for import licences lodged from 1 to 7 March 2015 for the subperiod from 1 April to 30 June 2015 exceed those available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by establishing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities requested, calculated in accordance with Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 (3).

               (3)

               The quantities covered by the applications for import licences lodged from 1 to 7 March 2015 for the subperiod from 1 April to 30 June 2015 are, for some quotas, less than those available. The quantities for which applications have not been lodged should therefore be determined and these should be added to the quantity fixed for the following quota subperiod.

               (4)

               In order to ensure the efficient management of the measure, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

   Article 1
   1.   The quantities covered by the applications for import licences lodged under Regulation (EC) No 1385/2007 for the subperiod from 1 April to 30 June 2015 shall be multiplied by the allocation coefficient set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   2.   The quantities for which import licence applications have not been lodged pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1385/2007, to be added to the subperiod from 1 July to 30 September 2015, are set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
