   of 24 February 2014
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 imposing a definitive countervailing duty on imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate (PET) originating in India following an expiry review pursuant to Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 597/2009
   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 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
   Whereas:
   A.   PREVIOUS PROCEDURE

               (1)

               By Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000 (2), the Council imposed countervailing measures on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (‘PET’) originating in India. Following an expiry review, those measures have been last maintained by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 (3).

               (2)

               By Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000 (4), the Council imposed anti-dumping measures on imports of PET originating in India. Following an expiry review, those measures have been last maintained by Council Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 (5). On 24 February 2012, the Commission initiated a subsequent expiry review. By Implementing Decision 2013/226/EU (6), the Council rejected the Commission’s proposal for a Council implementing regulation maintaining the anti-dumping duty on imports of PET originating in, inter alia, India and, thus, the anti-dumping measures expired.

               (3)

               In 2000, by Decision 2000/745/EC (7), the Commission accepted price undertakings offered in connection with both the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings from, inter alia, the Indian companies Pearl Engineering Polymers Limited (‘Pearl’) and Reliance Industries Limited (‘Reliance’). In 2005, by Decision 2005/697/EC (8), the Commission accepted an undertaking from the Indian company South ASEAN Petrochem Limited which, as a result of a merger, changed its name to Dhunseri Petrochem & Tea Limited (‘Dhunseri’) (9).

         B.   WITHDRAWAL OF UNDERTAKINGS AND AMENDMENT OF IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 461/2013

               (4)

               By Implementing Decision 2014/109/EU (10), the Commission withdrew the acceptance of the undertakings offered by the three Indian companies: Dhunseri, Reliance and Pearl. Therefore, Article 1(4) and Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013, together with the Annex to that Regulation, should be repealed. Accordingly, the definitive countervailing duties imposed by Article 1(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 should apply to imports of PET produced by the companies Dhunseri, Reliance and Pearl (TARIC additional code A585 for Dhunseri, TARIC additional code A181 for Reliance and TARIC additional code A182 for Pearl),

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   Article 1(4) and Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 and the Annex to that Regulation are repealed.
   2.   Article 1(5) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 shall be renumbered Article 1(4).
   3.   Article 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 461/2013 shall be renumbered Article 2.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 975/2013
   of 11 October 2013
   on the derogations from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other, that apply within quotas for certain products from Honduras
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Decision 2012/734/EU of 25 June 2012 on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, of the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other, and the provisional application of Part IV thereof concerning trade matters (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               By Decision 2012/734/EU, the Council authorised the signing, on behalf of the Union, of the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’). Pursuant to Decision 2012/734/EU, the Agreement is to be applied on a provisional basis, pending the completion of the procedures for its conclusion.

               (2)

               Annex II to the Agreement concerns the definition of the concept of ‘originating products’ and methods of administrative cooperation. For a number of products, Appendix 2A to that Annex provides for the possibility of derogations from the rules of origin set out in Appendix 2 to Annex II in the framework of annual quotas. As the Union has decided to use that possibility, it is necessary to provide the conditions for the application of those derogations for imports from Honduras.

               (3)

               The quotas set out in Appendix 2A to Annex II should be managed on a first-come, first-served basis in accordance with 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 (2).

               (4)

               Entitlement to benefit from the tariff concessions should be subject to the presentation of the relevant proof of origin to the customs authorities, as provided for in the Agreement.

               (5)

               Since the Agreement applies on a provisional basis as of 1 August 2013, this Regulation should apply from the same date.

               (6)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   The rules of origin set out in Appendix 2A to Annex II to the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’), shall apply to the products listed in the Annex to this Regulation.
   2.   The rules of origin referred to in paragraph 1 shall apply by derogation from the rules of origin set out in Appendix 2 to Annex II to the Agreement, within the quotas set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   To benefit from the derogation set out in Article 1, the products listed in the Annex shall be accompanied by a proof of origin as set out in Annex II to the Agreement.
   Article 3
   The quotas set out in the Annex shall be managed in accordance with Articles 308a, 308b and 308c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93.
   Article 4
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 August 2013.

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

title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1164 of 15 July 2015 fixing the quantitative limit for exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2015/2016 marketing year

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1164
   of 15 July 2015
   fixing the quantitative limit for exports of out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose until the end of the 2015/2016 marketing year
   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 139(2) and point (g) of the first paragraph of Article 144 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               According to point (d) of the first subparagraph of Article 139(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the sugar or isoglucose produced in excess of the quota referred to in Article 136 of that Regulation may be exported only within the quantitative limit to be fixed by the Commission.

               (2)

               Detailed implementing rules for out-of-quota exports, in particular concerning the issue of export licences are laid down by Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 (2). However, the quantitative limit should be fixed per marketing year in view of the possible opportunities on the export markets.

               (3)

               For certain Union producers of sugar and isoglucose, exports from the Union represent an important part of their economic activities and they have established traditional markets outside the Union. Exports of sugar and isoglucose to those markets could be economically viable also without granting export refunds. To that end it is necessary to fix a quantitative limit for out-of-quota sugar and isoglucose exports so that the EU producers concerned may continue to supply their traditional markets.

               (4)

               For the 2015/2016 marketing year it is estimated that fixing the quantitative limit initially at 650 000 tonnes, in white sugar equivalent, for out-of-quota sugar exports and 70 000 tonnes, in dry matter, for out-of-quota isoglucose would correspond to the market demand.

               (5)

               Exports of sugar from the Union to certain close destinations and to third countries granting Union products a preferential import treatment are currently in a particular favorable competitive position. In view of the absence of appropriate instruments of mutual assistance to fight against irregularities and in order to minimise the risk of fraud and to prevent any abuse associated with the re-import or reintroduction into the Union of out-of-quota sugar certain close destinations should be excluded from the eligible destinations.

               (6)

               In view of the estimated lower risks for eventual frauds regarding isoglucose due to the nature of the product it is not necessary to restrict the eligible destinations for the export of out-of-quota isoglucose.

               (7)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Fixing the quantitative limit for out-of-quota sugar exports
   1.   For the 2015/2016 marketing year the quantitative limit referred to in point (d) of the first subparagraph of Article 139(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 shall be 650 000 tonnes for exports without refund of out-of-quota white sugar falling within CN code 1701 99.
   2.   Exports within the quantitative limit fixed in paragraph 1 shall be allowed for all destinations excluding:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 399/2014
   of 22 April 2014
   concerning the authorisation of the preparations of Lactobacillus brevis DSM 23231, Lactobacillus brevis DSMZ 16680, Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 4528 and Lactobacillus fermentum NCIMB 30169 as feed additives for all animal species
   (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 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 10(1) to (4) thereof sets out specific provisions for the evaluation of products used in the Union as silage additives at the date that Regulation became applicable.

               (2)

               In accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, the preparations of Lactobacillus brevis DSM 23231, Lactobacillus brevis DSMZ 16680, Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 4528 and Lactobacillus fermentum NCIMB 30169 were entered in the Register of Feed Additives as existing products belonging to the functional group of silage additives, for all animal species.

               (3)

               In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, applications were submitted for the authorisation of those preparations as feed additives for all animal species, requesting those additives to be classified in the category ‘technological additives’ and in the functional group ‘silage additives’. Those applications were accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (4)

               The European Food Safety Authority (the Authority) concluded in its opinions of 4 December 2013 (2) and 5 December 2013 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparations concerned do not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment. The Authority also concluded that the preparations of Lactobacillus brevis DSM 23231, Lactobacillus brevis DSMZ 16680, Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 4528 and Lactobacillus fermentum NCIMB 30169 have the potential to improve the production of silage. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the methods of analysis of the feed additives in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (5)

               The assessment of the preparations concerned shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of those preparations should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (6)

               Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Authorisation
   The preparations specified in the Annex belonging to the additive category ‘technological additives’ and to the functional group ‘silage additives’, are authorised as additives in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
   Article 2
   Transitional measures
   The preparations specified in the Annex and feed containing them, which are produced and labelled before 13 November 2014 in accordance with the rules applicable before 15 May 2014 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.
   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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1409
   of 1 August 2017
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 75/2013 and Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 as regards the additional import duties in the sugar sector and the calculation of the sucrose content of isoglucose and certain syrups
   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 182(4) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 36 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 (2) provides for additional import duties for certain products in the sugar sector.

               (2)

               In view of the market conditions and forecast prevailing at the time, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 75/2013 (3) provided for the non-application of additional import duties for several sugar products until the end of the quota regime on 30 September 2017.

               (3)

               According to Article 182(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 additional import duties are not to be imposed where the imports are unlikely to disturb the Union market, or where the effects would be disproportionate to the intended objective. After the abolition of the sugar quotas, imports of sugar products subject to the import duty provided for in the Common Customs Tariff will remain unlikely to disturb the Union market. Consequently, no additional duties should be imposed on those imports unless the market situation changes significantly in this respect.

               (4)

               The non-application of additional import duties for several sugar products provided for in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 75/2013 should therefore be extended.

               (5)

               The methods to calculate the sucrose content of isoglucose and certain syrups provided for in Article 42(2), (3) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 will be integrated in a clearer and updated form into Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (4) by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1344 (5) with effect from 1 October 2017. Those provisions should therefore be deleted in Regulation (EC) No 951/2006.

               (6)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 75/2013 and Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (7)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   In Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 75/2013, the date ‘30 September 2017’ is replaced by ‘30 September 2022’.
   Article 2
   In Article 42 of Regulation (EC) No 951/2006, paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 are deleted.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 October 2017.

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