   of 15 July 2015
   approving the active substance halauxifen-methyl, 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 13(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the United Kingdom received on 20 September 2012 an application from Dow AgroSciences Limited for the approval of the active substance halauxifen-methyl. In accordance with Article 9(3) of that Regulation, the United Kingdom, as rapporteur Member State, notified the Commission on 2 November 2012 of the admissibility of the application.

               (2)

               On 20 December 2013 the rapporteur Member State submitted a draft assessment report to the Commission with a copy to the European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter ‘the Authority’), assessing whether that active substance can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.

               (3)

               The Authority complied with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. In accordance with Article 12(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, it requested that the applicant supply additional information to the Member States, the Commission and the Authority. The assessment of the additional information by the rapporteur Member State was submitted to the Authority in the format of an updated draft assessment report in October 2014.

               (4)

               On 21 November 2014 the Authority communicated to the applicant, the Member States and the Commission its conclusion on whether the active substance halauxifen-methyl can be expected to meet the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 (2). The Authority made its conclusion available to the public.

               (5)

               On 20 March 2015 the Commission presented to the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed the review report for halauxifen-methyl and a draft Regulation providing that halauxifen-methyl is approved.

               (6)

               The applicant was given the possibility to submit comments on the review report.

               (7)

               It has been established with respect to one or more representative uses of at least one plant protection product containing the active substance, and in particular the uses which were examined and detailed in the review report, that the approval criteria provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 are satisfied. Those approval criteria are therefore deemed to be satisfied. It is therefore appropriate to approve halauxifen-methyl.

               (8)

               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 and restrictions. It is, in particular, appropriate to require further confirmatory information.

               (9)

               In accordance with Article 13(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 (3) should be amended accordingly.

               (10)

               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 active substance
   The active substance halauxifen-methyl, as specified in Annex I, is approved subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
   Article 2
   Amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011
   The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation.
   Article 3

               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 ‘Limone di Siracusa’, registered under Commission Regulation (EU) No 96/2011 (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 as required by Article 50(2)(a) of that Regulation (3).

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1610
   of 24 September 2015
   approving Pythium oligandrum strain M1 as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 10
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular Article 90(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The Czech Republic received on 12 July 2005 an application, in accordance with Article 11(1) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), for the inclusion of the active substance Pythium oligandrum strain M1 in its Annex I for use in product-type 10, masonry preservatives, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 10, as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (2)

                  Pythium oligandrum strain M1 was not on the market on 14 May 2000 as an active substance of a biocidal product.

               (3)

               The Czech Republic submitted an assessment report, together with its recommendations, to the European Chemicals Agency on 8 November 2011 in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC.

               (4)

               The opinion of the European Chemicals Agency was formulated on 2 December 2014 by the Biocidal Product Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

               (5)

               According to that opinion, biocidal products used for product-type 10 and containing Pythium oligandrum strain M1 may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 19(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, provided that certain conditions concerning its use are complied with.

               (6)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve Pythium oligandrum strain M1 for use in biocidal products for product-type 10 subject to compliance with certain specifications and conditions.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1

      Pythium oligandrum strain M1 is approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 10, subject to the specifications and conditions set out in the Annex.
   Article 2
   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.

title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1240/2011 of 30 November 2011 laying down exceptional measures as regards the release of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose on the Union market at reduced surplus levy during marketing year 2011/2012

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1240/2011
   of 30 November 2011
   laying down exceptional measures as regards the release of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose on the Union market at reduced surplus levy during marketing year 2011/2012
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1) and in particular Article 64(2) and Article 187, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The world market prices for sugar have been at a level close to or even above the Union internal market price since several months. Forecasts of world market prices based on the sugar futures exchange markets of New York and London for the terms of March, May and July 2012 further indicate a constant high world market price. Imports from third countries benefiting from certain preferential agreements are therefore expected to increase only moderately during the 2011/2012 marketing year.

               (2)

               The forecasted sugar balance within the Union for the 2011/2012 marketing year identifies a deficit between utilisation of quota sugar and what should have been available of about 700 000 tonnes. The resulting low level of ending stocks threatens to disrupt the availability of supply of the Union’s sugar market and increase the Union internal sugar market price.

               (3)

               On the other hand, a good harvest in some parts of the Union has led to the production of sugar in excess of the quota set out in Article 56 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of nearly 5 million tonnes. Taking account of estimations on contractual commitments of sugar producers in respect of certain industrial uses provided for in Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and the 2011/2012 export commitments for out-of-quota sugar, substantial quantities of out-of-quota sugar of about 1 000 000 tonnes will still be available. Part of this sugar could be made available to the sugar market of the Union in order to partially satisfy demand and to avoid excessive price increases

               (4)

               Article 187 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 empowers the Commission to take the necessary measures for the sector if quotations or prices on the world market of sugar reach a level that disrupts or threatens to disrupt the availability of supply on the Union market. In this context, possible measures are not limited to the explicitly mentioned measure of full or partial suspension of import duties.

               (5)

               In the 2010/2011 marketing year, the world market price for sugar was close to or even above the recorded average Union market price for certain periods of time. Against this background and taking transport costs and delays linked to imports into account, the instrument of a reduction of import duties alone might not be sufficient to address the shortage of quota sugar and the upward pressure on prices on the EU market.

               (6)

               Article 64(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 empowers the Commission to fix the surplus levy on sugar and isoglucose produced in excess of the quota at a sufficiently high level in order to avoid the accumulation of surplus quantities. Article 3(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 of 29 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards sugar production in excess of the quota (2) has fixed that levy at EUR 500 per tonne.

               (7)

               The continuing low supply of sugar on the internal market in the 2011/2012 marketing year may allow the sale of 400 000 tonnes of out-of-quota sugar on the internal market. Because the supply shortage is less severe than in the 2010/2011 marketing year and the measure is taken at an earlier stage compared to the 2010/2011 marketing year with still some uncertainties regarding exact quantities available on the EU market, the setting of a reduced levy is appropriate, in order to avoid any risk of accumulation of quantities. For that limited quantity of sugar produced in excess of the quota a reduced surplus levy should be fixed, at a level per tonne representing the difference between the most recent publicly available average Union price and the world market price.

               (8)

               As Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 fixes quotas for both sugar and isoglucose, a similar measure should apply for an appropriate quantity of isoglucose produced in excess of the quota because the latter product is, to some extent, a commercial substitute for sugar.

               (9)

               For that reason and with the view to increasing the supply, sugar and isoglucose producers should apply to the competent authorities of the Member States for certificates allowing them to sell certain quantities, produced above the quota limit, on the Union market with a reduced surplus levy.

               (10)

               The validity of the certificates should be limited in time to encourage a fast improvement of the supply situation.

               (11)

               Fixing upper limits of the quantities for which each producer can apply in one application period and restricting the certificates to products of the applicant’s own production should prevent speculative actions within the system created by this Regulation.

               (12)

               With their application, sugar producers should commit themselves to pay the minimum price for sugar beet used to produce the quantity of sugar for which they apply. The minimum eligibility requirements for applications should be specified.

               (13)

               The competent authorities of the Member States should notify the Commission of the applications received. In order to simplify and standardise those notifications, models should be made available.

               (14)

               The Commission should ensure that certificates are granted only within the quantitative limits fixed in this Regulation. Therefore, if necessary, the Commission should be able to fix an allocation coefficient applicable to the applications received.

               (15)

               Member States should immediately inform the applicants whether the quantity applied for was fully or partially granted.

               (16)

               The reduced surplus levy should be paid after the application is admitted and before the certificate is issued.

               (17)

               The competent authorities should notify the Commission of the quantities for which certificates with a reduction of the surplus levy have been issued. For this purpose, models should be made available by the Commission.

               (18)

               Sugar quantities released on the Union market of quantities in excess of the certificates issued under this Regulation should be subject the surplus levy set out in Article 64(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. It is therefore appropriate to provide that any applicant not fulfilling his commitment to release on the Union market the quantity covered by a certificate delivered to him, should also pay an amount of EUR 500 per tonne. This consistent approach is aimed at preventing abuse of the mechanism introduced by this Regulation.

               (19)

               For the purpose of establishing average prices for quota and out-of-quota sugar on the Union market in accordance with Article 13(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 952/2006 of 29 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards the management of the Community market in sugar and the quota system (3), sugar covered by a certificate issued pursuant to this Regulation should be considered as quota sugar.

               (20)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1

         COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 626/2012
   of 26 June 2012
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 349/2012 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of tartaric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China
   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   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’), and in particular Article 9 and Article 11(3), (5) and (6) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission (‘Commission’) after consulting the Advisory Committee,
   Whereas:
   A.   PROCEDURE

   1.   Measures in force

               (1)

               In 2006, the Council imposed, by means of Regulation (EC) No 130/2006 (2), a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of tartaric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC’ or ‘the country concerned’) (‘the original anti-dumping measures’). This Regulation was amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 150/2008 (3). In 2012, the Council amended those measures by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 332/2012 (4) and extended them for a further five years by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 349/2012 (5).

         2.   Initiation of an interim review

               (2)

               A request for review was lodged by the following producers in the Union: Distillerie Bonollo SpA, Industria Chimica Valenzana SpA, Distillerie Mazzari SpA, Caviro Distillerie SRL and Comercial Quimica Sarasa SL (‘the applicants’).

               (3)

               The review request was limited in scope to the examination of dumping as far as two PRC exporting producers were concerned, namely Changmao Biochemical Engineering Co. Ltd, Changzhou, and Ninghai Organic Chemical Factory, Ninghai. The request alleged that the continued imposition of measures at the existing level, which was based on the level of dumping previously established, appeared to be no longer sufficient to counteract dumping, given that both companies should be denied market economy treatment (MET).

               (4)

               Having determined that the Commission had at its disposal sufficient prima facie evidence for the initiation of an interim review, and after consulting the Advisory Committee, the Commission announced on 29 July 2011, in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (6) (‘the notice of initiation’), the initiation of an interim review limited to dumping pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation.

         3.   Investigation

   3.1.   Investigation period

               (5)

               The investigation concerning dumping covered the period from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011 (‘the review investigation period’ or ‘RIP’).

         3.2.   Parties concerned by this investigation

               (6)

               The Commission officially advised the two exporting producers in the country concerned and the authorities of the country concerned of the initiation of the interim review.

               (7)

               Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the notice of initiation.

         3.3.   Questionnaire replies and verifications

               (8)

               The Commission sent questionnaires to the two exporting producers named in the request for review and to producers in the analogue country, Argentina.

               (9)

               Questionnaire replies were received from the two PRC exporting producers, and also from the cooperating producer in the analogue country.

               (10)

               In order to allow the two exporting producers in the PRC to submit a claim for market economy treatment (MET) or individual treatment (IT), if they so wished, the Commission sent claim forms for this purpose. Claims for MET, or for IT in case the investigation established that they do not meet the conditions for MET, were received from both of them.

               (11)

               The Commission sought and verified all the information deemed necessary for a determination of dumping and carried out verifications at the premises of the following companies:

                           (a)

                           Exporting producers in the PRC:

                                       —

                                       Ninghai Organic Chemical Factory, Ninghai,

                                       —

                                       Changmao Biochemical Engineering Co. Ltd, Changzhou;

                           (b)

                           Exporting producers in the analogue country:

                                       —

                                       Tarcol SA, Buenos Aires.

         B.   PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT

   1.   Product concerned

               (12)

               The product concerned by this review is the same as the one in the original investigation, namely tartaric acid, excluding D-(-)- tartaric acid with a negative optical rotation of at least 12,0 degrees, measured in a water solution according to the method described in the European Pharmacopoeia, originating in the PRC, currently falling within CN code ex 2918 12 00 (‘the product concerned’).

               (13)

               The product concerned is used in wine, in beverage and food additives, as a retardant in plaster and in numerous other products. It can be obtained either from the by-products of winemaking, as is the case with production in the Union or via chemical synthesis from petrochemical compounds, as is the case with production in the PRC. Only L+ tartaric acid is manufactured from the by-products of winemaking. Synthetic production allows the manufacture of both L+ and DL tartaric acid. Both types are product concerned and have overlapping uses.

         2.   Like product

               (14)

               As in the previous investigation, it was considered that the tartaric acid produced in the PRC and exported to the Union, the tartaric acid produced and sold on the domestic market of the analogue country (Argentina) and the tartaric acid manufactured and sold in the Union by the Union producers have the same basic physical and chemical characteristics, and the same basic uses. They were therefore considered to be like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.

         C.   DUMPING

   1.   Market economy treatment

               (15)

               Both companies named in the request for review claimed market economy treatment. Pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation, in anti-dumping investigations concerning imports originating in the PRC, normal value is to be determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 6 of that Article for those producers which were found to meet the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation.

               (16)

               Briefly, and for ease of reference only, the MET criteria are set out in summarised form below:

                           (1)

                           business decisions and costs are made in response to market conditions and without significant State interference;

                           (2)

                           accounting records are independently audited in line with international accounting standards and applied for all purposes;

                           (3)

                           there are no significant distortions carried over from the former non-market economy system;

                           (4)

                           legal certainty and stability is provided by bankruptcy and property laws;

                           (5)

                           currency exchanges are carried out at the market rate.

               (17)

               Both producers in the PRC requested MET pursuant to Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation. Each MET application was analysed, and on-the-spot investigations were carried out at the premises of these cooperating companies.

               (18)

               For both companies, MET was denied under Criterion 1 of Article 2(7)(c) based on evidence that the price of the basic raw material, benzene, was distorted. A comparison of domestic prices in the PRC, using the purchase prices of one cooperating producer as a source, against prices in other market economy countries showed a price difference of between 19 % and 51 % during the investigation period. The PRC imposes an import tariff on benzene of 40 % (although this was not in fact in force during the RIP) and also does not refund any of the 17 % VAT levied on its export. Distortions were also found in the price of the intermediate raw material, maleic anhydride, purchased by the other cooperating producer using its purchases as a source.

               (19)

               MET was also denied to one company under Criteria 2 and 3 due to evidence of depressed land use right prices and also overvaluation of the company’s assets for the purpose of guaranteeing a loan from a State-owned bank.

               (20)

               Both companies disputed the findings of the Commission after they were disclosed to them. However neither company could explain the low price of benzene on the PRC market. The company referred to in recital 19 provided some documents to dispute the Commission’s findings regarding the land use right prices and the valuation of their assets. However as these documents were requested during the inspection and were not provided, it was therefore decided that this information could not be verified or relied upon.

               (21)

               MET is therefore denied to both companies.

               (22)

               However both companies meet the requirements set out in Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation and are therefore entitled to an individual anti-dumping duty using their own export prices.

         2.   Analogue country

               (23)

               Pursuant to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, normal value was determined on the basis of the price or constructed value in an appropriate market economy third country (‘the analogue country’), or the price from the analogue country to other countries, including the Union, or, where those are not possible, on any other reasonable basis, including the price actually paid or payable in the Union for the like product, duly adjusted if necessary to include a reasonable profit margin.

               (24)

               As in the original investigation, Argentina was proposed in the notice of initiation as an appropriate analogue country for the purposes of establishing normal value pursuant to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation. Following the publication of the notice of initiation, one company in India and one company in Australia were identified as alternative possible producers in a market economy third country. However neither of the two companies responded to the questionnaire sent to them.

               (25)

               One producer of tartaric acid in Argentina cooperated with the investigation by replying to a questionnaire. The investigation showed that Argentina had a competitive market for tartaric acid with two competing local producers and imports from third countries. The production volume in Argentina constitutes more than 20 % of the volume of PRC exports of the product concerned to the Union. The Argentinian market was therefore deemed sufficiently representative for the determination of normal value for the PRC.

               (26)

               It is therefore concluded, as in the previous investigation, that Argentina constitutes an appropriate analogue country in accordance with Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation.

         3.   Normal value

               (27)

               Normal value was established on the basis of the information received from the cooperating producer in the analogue country. Although the analogue country producer had domestic sales of the product concerned, given the difference in the production method between Argentina and the PRC which has a significant impact on prices and costs, it was decided to construct normal value, rather than use these domestic sales prices. The cost of raw materials in Argentina was replaced by an average market price for benzene and an adjustment made to selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in Argentina to better reflect the domestic market in the PRC.

               (28)

               Normal value for L+ tartaric acid (which is manufactured by the Argentinian producer) was therefore constructed from the cost of production in Argentina of L+ tartaric acid, taking into account the difference in production methods between Argentina and the PRC.

               (29)

               Given that the Argentinian producer did not manufacture DL tartaric acid, a normal value was also constructed using the difference in price found between the two product types.

         4.   Export price

               (30)

               Export prices were determined based on the actual price paid or payable by the first independent customer in the Union for both PRC exporting producers.

         5.   Comparison

               (31)

               For the purposes of ensuring a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made with regard to certain differences in transport, insurance and indirect taxation, where these were proven to affect prices and price comparability.

         6.   Dumping margins

               (32)

               For both companies the weighted average normal value for each product was compared with the weighted average export price for the same product type, as provided for under Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation.

               (33)

               On this basis, the weighted average dumping margins expressed as a percentage of the cif Union frontier price duty unpaid are:

                           Company

                           Dumping margin

                           Changmao Biochemical Engineering Co. Ltd, Changzhou

                           13,1 %

                           Ninghai Organic Chemical Factory, Ninghai

                           8,3 %

         7.   Lasting nature of changed circumstances

               (34)

               The request for review alleged that the two PRC exporting producers should no longer be granted MET and that this change was of a lasting nature. Given the reasons for denial of MET it can be considered that the conclusions of this review are of a lasting nature. Evidence shows that the distortion in the price of benzene in the PRC was in existence prior to the RIP and there is no evidence to show that the PRC government has, or will, remove such distortions.

               (35)

               For the company-specific reasons set out in recital 19 these are also of a lasting nature, as they affect the company’s costs and decisions over a significant period of time. They were not events that would have affected the original investigation in which MET was granted to this company.

         D.   AMENDMENT OF THE ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES IN FORCE

               (36)

               In light of the above, it is considered that the present anti-dumping review should amend the level of the existing measures in force on imports of tartaric acid from the PRC.

               (37)

               All parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend that the existing measures be amended. They were also granted a period within which they could make representations subsequent to this disclosure.

               (38)

               One PRC company replied to the disclosure again disputing the findings regarding the denial of MET on the grounds of price distortion of the main raw material. However, it provided no new evidence to support its assertions and its arguments were therefore rejected. It also requested further information on the adjustments referred to in recital 27, but this had to be rejected as it would be impossible to do so without disclosing the production methods and costs of the sole producer in Argentina.

               (39)

               The Union industry responded to the disclosure by contesting the use of a constructed normal value rather than domestic sales prices in the analogue country, and also the adjustments referred to above to the constructed normal value to take account of the difference in raw materials and production processes between Argentina and the PRC.

               (40)

               As regards the use of a constructed normal value rather than prices from Argentina, this cannot be considered a change of methodology under Article 11(9) of the basic Regulation. In the original investigation both PRC companies were granted MET and therefore normal value was taken from their own domestic prices. Now that MET has been denied to both companies, the same methodology could no longer be used.

               (41)

               The Union industry further claimed that the Commission should have used the methodology set out in the original investigation to calculate the residual duty for the PRC to calculate the individual margins for the two exporters concerned by this review. This argument was rejected as the residual duty was calculated for companies that did not cooperate with the original investigation. It is therefore not comparable to calculating an individual duty for a cooperating exporter that has been denied MET.

               (42)

               As regards the adjustments made to the normal value referred to above, these were necessary to ensure a fair comparison between the export price of a synthetically produced tartaric acid, and a normal value based on a natural production process. Attempting the same calculation using domestic sales prices in Argentina and then adjusting the normal value and/or export price under Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation would not have provided for a fair comparison. These arguments were therefore rejected.

         E.   UNDERTAKINGS

               (43)

               One exporting producer in the PRC offered a price undertaking in accordance with Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation. The product concerned is not suitable for a fixed price undertaking due to the volatility of the export price. In order to overcome this problem, the exporting producer offered an indexation clause, but without specifying how this indexation would be calculated. It also offered an indexation based on the distorted domestic benzene price in the PRC, which could not be accepted.

               (44)

               Moreover, that exporting producer produces different types of other chemical products and may sell these products to common customers in the European Union via related trading companies. This would create a serious risk of cross-compensation and would make effective monitoring extremely difficult.

               (45)

               Furthermore, there are different types of the product concerned which are not easily distinguishable and have a considerable difference in price. The different MIPs proposed by the exporting producer would therefore render monitoring impracticable. On the basis of the above, it was concluded that the undertaking offers cannot be accepted,

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/15
   of 7 January 2016
   approving the control programme of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia for Salmonella in laying hens and amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as regards the entry for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in the list of third countries from which table eggs may be introduced into 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 Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first paragraph of point 1 of Article 8, points 3 and 4 of Article 8 and Article 9(2)(b) and Article 9(4) thereof,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (2), and in particular Article 10(2) thereof,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (3), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 (4) provides that poultry and poultry products (‘the commodities’) are only to be imported into and transit through the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in columns 1 and 3 of the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto.

               (2)

               Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 also lays down the veterinary certification requirements for the commodities concerned. Those requirements take into account whether or not specific conditions are required due to the disease status of those third countries, territories, zones or compartments. Those specific conditions, as well as the model veterinary certificates required to accompany imports of those commodities, are set out in Part 2 of Annex I to that Regulation.

               (3)

               Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 lays down rules for the control of Salmonella in different poultry populations in the Union. It provides that admission to, or retention on, the lists of third countries provided for in Union legislation, for the relevant species or category, from which Member States are authorised to import table eggs from poultry covered by that Regulation is subject to the submission to the Commission by the third country concerned of a control programme for Salmonella with equivalent guarantees to those contained in the national control programmes for Salmonella in the Member States. Guarantees and information in that regard are also included in the relevant model veterinary certificates for those commodities set out in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008.

               (4)

               The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (5) has introduced a request for the authorisation of imports of eggs for human consumption and poultry meat into the Union. The Commission has positively evaluated the submitted information as regards the animal health conditions in that third country required for import and transit of these commodities. The animal health requirements for imports of fresh poultry meat to the Union are more stringent than those for eggs for human consumption due to the possible increased risk for disease transmission linked to that commodity. An audit of the Food and Veterinary Office is scheduled for 2016 in order to fully assess the poultry health status and conditions for imports of poultry meat. Pending that audit, it is appropriate to limit the authorisation of imports into the Union to table eggs for human consumption.

               (5)

               The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has submitted to the Commission its control programme for Salmonella in laying flocks of Gallus gallus. This programme was found to provide guarantees equivalent to the guarantees provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 and should therefore be approved.

               (6)

               The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is listed in Commission Decision 2011/163/EU (6) and has a residue monitoring plan approved for eggs.

               (7)

               As a consequence of the equivalence of the control programme for Salmonella, the imports of table eggs from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia should be authorised. The entry for former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (8)

               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 the control programme
   The control programme submitted by the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 is hereby approved as regards Salmonella in laying flocks of Gallus gallus.
   Article 2
   Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008
   The entry for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in Part 1 of Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
