                  Additional information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee:
                  Haji Khairullah Haji Sattar Money Exchange (HKHS) is co-owned by Abdul Satar Abdul Manan and Khairullah Barakzai Khudai Nazar. Satar and Khairullah have jointly operated money exchanges throughout Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. Taliban leaders have used HKHS to disseminate money to Taliban shadow governors and commanders and to receive hawala (informal money remittance) transfers for the Taliban. As of 2011, the Taliban leadership transferred money to Taliban commanders in Afghanistan using HKHS. In late 2011, the HKHS branch in Lashkar Gah, Helmand Province, Afghanistan, was used to send money to the Taliban shadow governor for Helmand Province. In mid-2011, a Taliban commander used an HKHS branch in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region to fund fighters and operations in Afghanistan. After the Taliban deposited a significant amount of cash monthly with this HKHS branch, Taliban commanders could access the funds from any HKHS branch. Taliban personnel used HKHS in 2010 to transfer money to hawalas in Afghanistan where operational commanders could access the funds. As of late 2009, the manager of the HKHS branch in Lashkar Gah oversaw the movement of Taliban funds through HKHS.

      COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 92/2014
   of 31 January 2014
   approving zineb as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 21
   (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 the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (2) establishes a list of active substances to be assessed, with a view to their possible inclusion in Annex I, IA or IB to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). That list includes zineb.

               (2)

               Zineb has been evaluated in accordance with Article 11(2) of Directive 98/8/EC for use in product-type 21, antifouling products, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which corresponds to product-type 21 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (3)

               Ireland was designated as rapporteur Member State and submitted the competent authority report, together with a recommendation, to the Commission on 29 March 2011 in accordance with Article 14(4) and (6) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007.

               (4)

               The competent authority report was reviewed by the Member States and the Commission. In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007, the findings of the review were incorporated, within the Standing Committee on Biocidal Products on 13 December 2013, in an assessment report.

               (5)

               It appears from that report that biocidal products used for product-type 21 and containing zineb may be expected to satisfy the requirements laid down in Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC, provided that the conditions specified in the Annex to this Regulation are satisfied. It is therefore appropriate to approve zineb for use in biocidal products for product-type 21.

               (6)

               Since the evaluation did not address nanomaterials, the approval should not cover such materials pursuant to Article 4(4) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (7)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit Member States, interested parties, and the Commission where appropriate, to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements entailed.

               (8)

               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
   Zineb shall be approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-type 21, 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.

                  The product assessment shall pay particular attention to the exposures, the risks and the efficacy linked to any uses covered by an application for authorisation, but not addressed in the Union level risk assessment of the active substance.
                  Persons making products containing zineb available on the market for non-professional users shall make sure that the products are supplied with appropriate gloves.
                  Authorisations are subject to the following conditions:

                              (1)

                              For industrial or professional users, safe operational procedures and appropriate organisational measures shall be established.

                              (2)

                              Labels and, where provided, instructions for use shall indicate that children shall be kept away until treated surfaces are dry.

                              (3)

                              Labels and, where provided, safety data sheets of products authorised shall indicate that application, maintenance and repair activities shall be conducted within a contained area, on impermeable hard standing with bunding or on soil covered with an impermeable material to prevent losses and minimise emissions to the environment, and that any losses or waste containing zineb shall be collected for reuse or disposal.

                              (4)

                              For products that may lead to residues in food or feed, the need to set new or to amend existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) or Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) shall be verified, and any appropriate risk mitigation measures shall be taken to ensure that the applicable MRLs are not exceeded.

                        Where a treated article has been treated with or intentionally incorporates zineb, and where necessary due to the possibility of skin contact as well as the release of zineb under normal conditions of use, the person responsible for placing the treated article on the market shall ensure that the label provides information on the risk of skin sensitisation, as well as the information referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 58(3) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1108/2012
   of 23 November 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)

               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 which has been issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature but which is not in accordance with this Regulation can, for a period of three months, continue to be invoked by the holder, under Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (2).

               (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 issued by the customs authorities of Member States, which is not in accordance with this Regulation, can continue to be invoked for a period of three months under Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.
   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, 23 November 2012.

      (2)  OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1.

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A galvanised article consisting of a steel U-shaped bolt threaded at both ends, two hexagon nuts and a cast steel clamp with two holes for the passage of the bolt.
                  The article is used for holding, for example, two or more wires together by placing the wires in the U-bolt, fitting the clamp over the wires and tightening the nuts.

                      (1) See image.

                  7326 90 98

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 7326, 7326 90 and 7326 90 98.
                  As the function of the article consisting of a bolt, two nuts and a clamp is different from that of a bolt, that is, it does not tighten and loosen together directly different elements, classification under heading 7318 as a bolt or similar article is excluded (see also the HS Explanatory Notes to heading 7326, point (1)).
                  The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 7326 90 98 as other articles of steel.

         (1)  The image is purely for information.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/365
   of 11 March 2016
   entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Telemea de Ibănești (PDO))
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 52(3)(a) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Pursuant to Article 50(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the application from Romania to register the name ‘Telemea de Ibănești’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (2).

               (2)

               On 5 March 2015, the Commission received one notice of opposition from Greece. On 30 April 2015 the Commission received the related reasoned statement of opposition.

               (3)

               The Commission examined the opposition sent by Greece and found it admissible. The word ‘Telemea’, which forms part of the name ‘Telemea de Ibănești’ is almost identical to the name ‘Τελεμές’ (Telemés) which is used in Greece. ‘Τελεμές’ (Telemés) is a white brined cheese that is produced in different parts of Greece on a commercial scale. The opposition claims that the registration of the name ‘Telemea de Ibănești’ would jeopardise the existence of the partly identical name ‘Τελεμές’ (Telemés) and the existence of products which have been legally on the Greek market for at least five years preceding the date of publication of the application for registration of the name ‘Telemea de Ibănești’.

               (4)

               By letter of 22 June 2015 the Commission invited the interested parties to engage in appropriate consultations to seek agreement among themselves in accordance with their internal procedures.

               (5)

               Romania and Greece reached an agreement, which was notified to the Commission on 21 September 2015, within the prescribed deadline.

               (6)

               As it results from the information exchanged with Greece in the context of the opposition procedure, Romania produces at national level a cheese named ‘Telemea’. This production complies with a national standard approved by the Romanian Standard Association. In 2014 around 24 000 tons of ‘Telemea’ have been produced in Romania. By applying for the registration of the name ‘Telemea de Ibănești’ Romania did not aim at reserving the use of the term ‘Telemea’.

               (7)

               Romania and Greece agreed that the protection of the designation ‘Telemea de Ibănești’ should not cover the stand alone name ‘Telemea’ but only the compound name ‘Telemea de Ibănești’ as a whole. Moreover, they concluded that the Regulation entering the name ‘Telemea de Ibănești’ in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications should include a recital that specifies the scope of the protection.

               (8)

               As it complies with the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 and EU legislation, the content of the agreement concluded between Romania and Greece should be taken into account.

               (9)

               Therefore, the designation of origin ‘Telemea de Ibănești’ (PDO) should be protected as a whole, whereas the term ‘Telemea’ may continue to be used in labelling or presentations within the territory of the Union provided the principles and rules applicable in its legal order respected.

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The name ‘Telemea de Ibănești’ (PDO) is registered.
   The name in the first paragraph identifies a product from Class 1.3. Cheeses set out in Annex XI to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 668/2014 (3).
   Article 2
   The term ‘Telemea’ may continue to be used in labelling or presentations within the territory of the Union provided the principles and rules applicable in its legal order are respected.
   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.

   of 28 September 2017
   approving non-minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Pera dell'Emilia Romagna (PGI))
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 52(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               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 ‘Pera dell'Emilia Romagna’ registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 (2), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 515/2009 (3).

               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 (4).

               (3)

               As no statement of opposition under Article 51 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 has been received by the Commission, the amendments to the specification should be approved,

   of 3 June 2016
   amending Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 as regards the substance ‘eprinomectin’
   (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 470/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 laying down Community procedures for the establishment of residue limits of pharmacologically active substances in foodstuffs of animal origin, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 and amending Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1), and in particular Article 14 in conjunction with Article 17 thereof,
   Having regard to the opinion of the European Medicines Agency formulated by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009 requires that the maximum residue limit (hereinafter ‘MRL’) for pharmacologically active substances intended for use in the Union in veterinary medicinal products for food-producing animals or in biocidal products used in animal husbandry is established in a Regulation.

               (2)

               Table 1 of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (2) sets out the pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding MRLs in foodstuffs of animal origin.

               (3)

               Eprinomectin is already included in that table as an allowed substance, for bovine, ovine and caprine species, applicable to muscle, fat, liver, kidney and milk. The provisional MRLs for that substance set out for ovine and caprine species, applicable to muscle, fat, liver, kidney and milk expire on 30 June 2016.

               (4)

               Additional data was provided and assessed by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use, who recommended that the provisional MRLs for eprinomectin in ovine and caprine species should be set as definitive.

               (5)

               According to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 470/2009, the European Medicines Agency (hereinafter ‘EMA’) is to consider using MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in a particular foodstuff for another foodstuff derived from the same species, or MRLs established for a pharmacologically active substance in one or more species for other species.

               (6)

               The EMA has considered that the extrapolation of the existing entry for eprinomectin to all ruminants is appropriate.

               (7)

               Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (8)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The Annex to Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 is amended as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
   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 1277/2013 of 9 December 2013 authorising an increase of the limits for the enrichment of wine produced using the grapes harvested in 2013 in certain wine-growing regions or a part thereof

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1277/2013
   of 9 December 2013
   authorising an increase of the limits for the enrichment of wine produced using the grapes harvested in 2013 in certain wine-growing regions or a part thereof
   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 the third paragraph of Article 121 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Point A.3 of Annex XVa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that Member States may request that the limits for increasing the alcoholic strength (enrichment) of wine by volume be raised by up to 0,5 % in years in which climatic conditions have been exceptionally unfavourable.

               (2)

               The Czech Republic, Germany, France, Croatia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Austria and Slovakia have requested such increases of the limits for enrichment of the wine produced using the grapes harvested in the year 2013, as climatic conditions during the growing season have been exceptionally unfavourable. Such request has been made by the Czech Republic, Germany, Croatia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Austria and Slovakia for all their wine-growing regions and by France for some communes within the department of Gironde.

               (3)

               Due to the exceptionally adverse weather conditions during 2013, the limits on increases in the natural alcoholic strength provided for in point A.2 of Annex XVa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 do not enable the production of wine with an appropriate total alcoholic strength in certain wine-growing regions or a part thereof for which there would normally be market demand.

               (4)

               Having regard to the purpose of Annex XVa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, namely to discourage and limit enrichment of wine, and given the exceptional nature of the derogation in point A.3 of that Annex, authorisations to increase the limits for the enrichment of wine should be granted only for the wine-growing regions or parts thereof affected by exceptionally unfavourable climatic conditions. Therefore, in France, the authorisation should only be granted for a limited number of communes in the department of Gironde that have suffered such climatic conditions.

               (5)

               It is therefore appropriate to authorise an increase of the limits for the enrichment of wine produced using the grapes harvested in 2013 in wine-growing regions in the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Croatia, Luxembourg, Hungary, Austria, and Slovakia or a part thereof.

               (6)

               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
   By way of derogation from point A.2 of Annex XVa to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, in the wine-growing regions or a part thereof listed in the Annex to this Regulation, the increase in natural alcoholic strength by volume of fresh grapes harvested in the year 2013, grape must, grape must in fermentation, new wine still in fermentation and wine produced using the grapes harvested in the year 2013, shall not exceed the following limits:

               (a)

               3,5 % vol. in wine-growing zone A referred to in the appendix to Annex XIb to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007;

               (b)

               2,5 % vol. in wine-growing zone B referred to in the appendix to Annex XIb to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007;

               (c)

               2,0 % vol. in wine-growing zones C I and C II referred to in the appendix to Annex XIb to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

         Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.
