         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 481/2012
   of 7 June 2012
   laying down rules for the management of a tariff quota for high-quality beef
   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 144(1) and Article 148, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Council Regulation (EC) No 617/2009 (2) opened on a multiannual basis an autonomous import tariff quota for the import of 20 000 tonnes of high-quality beef. That Regulation has been amended by Regulation (EU) No 464/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) which increases the import tariff quota to 21 500 tonnes from the first day of the month following its publication, and to 48 200 tonnes as from 1 August 2012. Tariff quotas for agricultural products are to be managed in conformity with Article 144(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 617/2009 as amended by Regulation (EU) No 464/2012 provides that the tariff quota is to be managed by the Commission by means of implementing acts, to be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers (4).

               (2)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 620/2009 of 13 July 2009 providing for the administration of an import tariff quota for high-quality beef (5) lays down rules for the administration of the tariff quota concerned by applying the simultaneous examination method of import licence applications, as referred to in Article 144(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. Recent experience with the administration of the Union tariff quota for high-quality beef has shown a need to improve the management of this tariff quota. Experience in the use of the first-come, first-served management system referred to in Article 144(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 has been positive in other agricultural sectors. Therefore, in the interest of administrative simplification and in order to avoid any speculative behaviour, the tariff quota concerning the import of high-quality beef originating in third countries should be managed in accordance with Articles 308a and 308b and Article 308c(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (6), which lays down rules for the management of tariff quotas designed to be used following the chronological order of dates of acceptance of customs declarations. Where imports are managed in accordance with those rules, no import licences should be required any more.

               (3)

               In order to ensure a regular flow of imports, it is appropriate to sub-divide the annual tariff quota into quarterly sub-periods. Appropriate order numbers should be fixed in line with Article 308a(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.

               (4)

               Regulation (EC) No 617/2009 establishes that the quota year runs from 1 July to 30 June. In order to ensure a swift transfer from the current simultaneous examination method to the first-come, first-served management system the new management method should apply as from 1 July 2012.

               (5)

               The quantity available for the first quarterly sub-period (1 July to 30 September 2012) should be calculated on a pro-rata basis taking into account the volume of the annual tariff quota applicable until 31 July 2012 and the new increased volume of the annual tariff quota applicable as of 1 August 2012.

               (6)

               The release into free circulation of the goods imported under the tariff quota opened by Regulation (EC) No 617/2009 should be subject to the presentation of a certificate of authenticity issued by the competent authority of the exporting third country. The issue of such certificates of authenticity should guarantee that the imported goods qualify as high quality beef as defined in this Regulation.

               (7)

               For reasons of clarity, Regulation (EC) No 620/2009 should be repealed and replaced by a new implementing regulation.

               (8)

               Since the new management system is to apply as from 1 July 2012, licences applied for in June 2012 under Regulation (EC) No 620/2009 should not be issued.

               (9)

               The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chair,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

   2.   The certificate of authenticity referred to in paragraph 1 shall be established in accordance with the model set out in Annex III.
   3.   On the reverse side of the certificate of authenticity it shall be stated that the meat originating in the exporting country fulfils the requirements laid down in Annex II.
   4.   A certificate of authenticity shall be valid only if it is duly completed and endorsed by the issuing authority.

   6.   The stamp may be replaced by a printed seal on the original of the certificate of authenticity and any copies thereof.
   7.   The validity of a certificate of authenticity shall expire at the latest on 30 June following the date of its issue.

               (a)

               be recognised as such by the competent authority of the exporting country;

               (b)

         Requirements for goods under the tariff quota referred to in Article 1

                  1.

                  Beef cuts are obtained from carcasses of heifers and steers (1) less than 30 months of age which have only been fed a diet, for at least the last 100 days before slaughter, containing not less than 62 % of concentrates and/or feed grain co-products on a dietary dry matter basis, that meets or exceeds a metabolisable energy content greater than 12,26 mega joules per one kilogram of dry matter.

                  2.

                  The heifers and steers that are fed the diet described in point 1 shall be fed, on average, no less than 1,4 % of live body weight per day on a dry matter basis.

                  3.

                  The carcass from which beef cuts are derived are evaluated by an evaluator employed by the national government who bases the evaluation, and a resulting classification of the carcass, on a method approved by the national government. The national government evaluation method, and its classifications, must evaluate expected carcass quality using a combination of carcass maturity and palatability traits of the beef cuts. Such an evaluation method of the carcass shall include, but not be limited to, an evaluation of the maturity characteristics of colour and texture of the longissimus dorsi muscle and bone and cartilage ossification, as well as an evaluation of expected palatability traits including a combination of the discrete specifications of intramuscular fat and firmness of the longissimus dorsi muscle.

                  4.

                  The cuts shall be labelled in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2).

                  5.

                  The indication ‘High Quality Beef’ may be added to the information on the label.

         (1)  For the purposes of these requirements, heifers and steers refer, respectively, to categories E and C as defined in Part A of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

   of 19 June 2013
   on the issue of import licences for applications lodged during the first seven days of June 2013 under the tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 for poultrymeat
   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),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 533/2007 of 14 May 2007 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quotas in the poultrymeat sector (3), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/2405
   of 18 December 2015
   opening and providing for the management of EU tariff quotas for agricultural products originating in Ukraine
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular point (a) of Article 187 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Council Decision 2014/668/EU (2) authorised the signature, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application of the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy and their Member States, of the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part (3) (‘the Agreement’) as regards certain provisions of that Agreement. Article 29(1) of the Agreement stipulates that customs duties on imports of goods originating in Ukraine must be reduced or eliminated in accordance with Annex I-A to Chapter I of Title IV of that Agreement. The Appendix to that Annex lists the import tariff quotas for certain goods originating in Ukraine, including agricultural products falling within the scope of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

               (2)

               Pending the provisional application of the Agreement, in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 374/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), import tariff quotas for certain goods originating in Ukraine were opened for 2014 and 2015 and managed by the Commission on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (5).

               (3)

               The Agreement will be provisionally applied as of 1 January 2016. It is therefore necessary to open annual import tariff quotas for the agricultural products listed in Annex I-A to Chapter 1 of Title IV of the Agreement as of 1 January 2016.

               (4)

               As provided for in the Agreement, in order to benefit from the tariff concessions provided for in this Regulation, the products listed in the Annex should be accompanied by proof of origin.

               (5)

               The combined nomenclature (CN) set out in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (6), as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1101/2014 (7), contains new CN codes which differ from those referred to in the Agreement. The Annex to this Regulation should therefore reflect the new CN codes.

               (6)

               The Agreement is to be applied provisionally in part as of 1 January 2016. In order to ensure the effective application and management of the tariff quotas granted under the Agreement, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2016.

               (7)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   EU tariff quotas shall be opened for the products listed in the Annex originating in Ukraine.
   Article 2
   Customs duties applicable to imports into the Union of products listed in the Annex and originating in Ukraine shall be suspended within the respective tariff quotas set out in the Annex.
   Article 3
   The products listed in the Annex shall be accompanied by proof of origin as set out in Annex III to Protocol I to the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part.
   Article 4
   The tariff quotas set out in the Annex shall be managed by the Commission in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
   Article 5
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 January 2016.

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

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/981
      of 7 June 2017
      laying down implementing technical standards with regard to standard forms, templates and procedures for the consultation of other competent authorities prior to granting an authorisation in accordance with Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council
      (Text with EEA relevance)
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive 2011/61/EU (1), and in particular Article 84(4) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  Article 84 of Directive 2014/65/EU provides for consultation of competent authorities prior to granting an authorisation in accordance with Article 7 of that Directive. Directive 2014/65/EU also provides for establishment of standard forms, templates and procedures for such consultation.

                  (2)

                  To facilitate communication between competent authorities, they should designate a contact point specifically for the purpose of communication prior to granting an authorisation.

                  (3)

                  In order to ensure that competent authorities are able to consult each other prior to granting an authorisation in an efficient and timely manner it is necessary to lay down the procedures for requests for consultation, acknowledgements of receipt and replies to requests for consultation.

                  (4)

                  The standard forms, templates and procedures should allow for the information exchanged or transmitted to be kept confidential in accordance with Directive 2014/65/EU, and for the rules laid down in Union legislation on the processing of personal data and the transfer of such data to be complied with.

                  (5)

                  For reasons of consistency and in order to ensure the smooth functioning of the financial markets, it is necessary that the provisions laid down in this Regulation and the related national provisions transposing Directive 2014/65/EU apply from the same date.

                  (6)

                  This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to the Commission.

                  (7)

                  ESMA did not conduct open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, nor did it analyse potential related costs and benefits of introducing the standard forms and procedures for the relevant competent authorities, as this would have been disproportionate in relation to their scope and impact, taking into account that the addressees of the implementing technical standards would only be the national competent authorities of the Member States and not market participants.

                  (8)

                  ESMA has requested the opinion of the Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2),

            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
      Article 1
      Contact points
      1.   The competent authorities shall designate contact points for the communication under this Regulation and publish the information on their contact points on their websites.

      Article 2
      Request for consultation
      1.   The requesting competent authority shall submit the request for consultation in paper form, or by electronic means, to the contact point of the competent authority to be consulted.

      Article 3
      Acknowledgement of receipt
      The competent authority receiving the request shall send an acknowledgement of receipt by filling in the form set out in Annex II, within five working days of receipt of the request for consultation, addressed to the contact point of the requesting competent authority.
      Article 4

      2.   The competent authority receiving the request shall inform the requesting competent authority of any clarification it requires in relation to the information requested.
      3.   The competent authority receiving the request shall provide the requesting competent authority as soon as possible by filling in the form set out in Annex III, and within 60 working days of receipt of the request for consultation at the latest with the following information:

                  (a)

                  any other essential information that could influence the granting of the authorisation.

            4.   Where the competent authority receiving the request considers it likely not to be able to meet the time-limit set out in paragraph 3, it shall promptly inform the requesting competent authority thereof, indicating the reasons for the delay and an estimated date of response. It shall also provide information regularly on the progress of preparation of its reply.
      5.   Where the competent authority receiving the request is not able to meet the time-limit set out in paragraph 3 of this Article, it shall provide the information in a manner which ensures that any necessary action may proceed expeditiously, whilst complying with the time-limit set out in Article 7(3) of Directive 2014/65/EU.
      Article 5
      Procedures for consultation
      1.   The competent authorities shall communicate in relation to the request for consultation and the response using the most expeditious means from among those set out in Articles 2(1) and 4(1), taking due account of confidentiality considerations, correspondence times, the volume of material to be communicated and the ease of access to the information by the requesting competent authority. In particular, the requesting competent authority shall respond promptly to any clarifications requested by the competent authority receiving the request.
      2.   If the information requested is or may be held by a competent authority of a Member State other than the competent authority of the same Member State receiving the request, the competent authority receiving the request shall collect the information promptly from the other competent authority and transmit it to the requesting competent authority in accordance with Article 4.

      Article 6

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 553/2012
   of 19 June 2012
   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)

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification (CN code)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  An unthreaded article of steel, other than stainless steel, with a hexagon head, a tensile strength of 1 040 MPa and dimensions of 160 mm (length), 32 mm (head size) and 16 mm (shank diameter).
                  It is to be further worked into finished goods of heading 7318, after presentation.

                  7318 15 89

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 2(a) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7318, 7318 15 and 7318 15 89.
                  As the article is not ready for direct use, has the approximate shape of the finished article and can only be used for completion into a finished article of heading 7318, it is considered to be an unfinished article within the meaning of General Interpretative Rule (GIR) 2(a), being a blank (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to GIR 2(a), point (II) and to heading 7318, part (A), fifth paragraph).
                  Given its objective characteristics, such as its shape, hexagon head and tensile strength, it is considered to be an unfinished article of CN code 7318 15 89.
                  The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 7318 15 89.
