         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 671/2013
   of 9 July 2013
   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, subject to the measures in force in the Union relating to double checking systems and to prior and retrospective surveillance of textile products on importation into the Union, binding tariff information issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature and which is not in accordance with this Regulation, may continue to be invoked for a period of 60 days 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
   Subject to the measures in force in the Union relating to double checking systems and to prior and retrospective surveillance of textile products on importation into the European Union, binding tariff information issued by the customs authorities of Member States which is not in accordance with this Regulation may continue to be invoked for a period of 60 days 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, 9 July 2013.

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

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  An article consisting of flat cloth, measuring approximately 26 cm × 32 cm, composed of various textile materials, in the shape of a bird.
                  The main part of the article is made of a single layer of long-looped pile fabric with a sewn-on crown-shaped wing of woven textile material on one side. On the other side, the long-looped pile fabric is bordered by a sewn-on ribbon of woven textile material. A piece of triangular shaped woven fabric is sewn on to the long-looped pile fabric and represents the beak. The eyes are printed on looped tabs and two pieces of woven textile fabric cut in the form of feet are sewn on to the pile fabric. A textile material decoratively cut represents the tail.
                  Varicoloured numbered tabs, loops and strips of woven textile material are attached to the upper edge of the pile fabric.

                  6307 90 10

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Notes 7(f) and 8(a) to Section XI, subheading note 2(A) to Section XI, Note 1 to Chapter 63 and the wording of CN codes 6307, 6307 90 and 6307 90 10.
                  The article is not intended essentially for the amusement of babies or small children, as neither the form of the article, nor the numbering and the labels are recognizable as such by them, but it serves rather as a comfort cloth. Therefore, the article cannot be classified as ‘other toys’ under heading 9503 (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 9503 (D) first paragraph).
                  The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 6307 90 10, as ‘other made-up articles — knitted or crocheted’.

                  (See illustrations Nos 665 A and 665 B) (1)

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1109/2011
   of 3 November 2011
   amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 as regards the equivalent methods for Trichinella testing
   (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 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 (1), and in particular the former part of the introductory phrase of Article 18 and points 8, 9 and 10 of that Article,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 of 5 December 2005 laying down specific rules on official controls for Trichinella in meat (2) provides for methods of detection of Trichinella in samples of carcases. The reference method is laid down in Chapter I of Annex I to that Regulation. Three methods of detection equivalent to the reference method are laid down in Chapter II of Annex I to that Regulation.

               (2)

               Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1245/2007 (3), permits the use of liquid pepsin for the detection of Trichinella in meat and establishes its requirements when used as a reagent in methods of detection. It is therefore appropriate to also provide for identical requirements for the equivalent detection methods, where relevant. Part C of Chapter II of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (3)

               In addition, new apparatuses for Trichinella testing using the digestion method equivalent to the reference method started being produced by private companies. Following these developments, guidelines for the validation of new apparatuses for testing of Trichinella by the digestion method were endorsed unanimously during the meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 16 December 2008.

               (4)

               In 2010 a new apparatus method for testing of Trichinella in domestic swine was validated by the EU Reference Laboratory for parasites in accordance with those guidelines.

               (5)

               Results of the validation show that the new apparatus and related method of detection of Trichinella, validated under the code of the EU Reference Laboratory, No EURLP_D_001/2011 (4), is equivalent to the reference method as laid down in Chapter I of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005. Therefore, it should be included in the list of equivalent methods of detection listed in Chapter II of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005.

               (6)

               Chapter II of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (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
   Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following 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.

      Chapter II of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005 is amended as follows:

                  1.

                  in Part C, point 1(f) is replaced by the following:

                              ‘(f)

                              Pepsin, strength 1: 10 000 NF (US National Formulary) corresponding to 1:12 500 BP (British Pharmacopoeia) and to 2 000 FIP (International Pharmaceutical Federation), or stabilised liquid pepsin with minimum 660 European Pharmacopoeia units/ml’;

                  2.

                  the following Part D is added:
                  ‘D.   Magnetic stirrer method for pooled sample digestion/‘on filter isolation’ and larva detection by a latex agglutination test

                        This method is only considered equivalent for the testing of meat of domestic swine.

                        2.   Collecting of specimens

                  As stipulated in Chapter I(2).
                  3.   Procedure

                  I.   For complete pools (100 g of samples at a time), the procedure set out in points (a) to (i) of Chapter I(3)(I) must be followed. In addition, the following procedure must be applied:

                              (a)

                              The 20 microns nylon mesh filter is placed on the filtration support. The conical filtration steel funnel is fixed to the support with the block system and the steel sieve of 180 microns mesh size is placed on the funnel. The vacuum pump is connected with the filtration support and with the metal or plastic tank, to collect the digestive fluid.

                              (b)

                              Stop stirring and pour the digestion fluid into the filtration funnel through the sieve. Rinse the beaker with 250 ml of warm water. The rinsing liquid must be poured into the filtration ramp after the digested fluid has been successfully filtrated.

                              (c)

                              With the forceps, take the filtration membrane holding it by an edge. Fold the filtration membrane in four minimum and put it in the 15 ml conical tube.

                              (d)

                              The filtration membrane is pushed at the bottom of the 15 ml conical tube with the help of the pestle and strongly pressed by doing successive back and forth movements with the pestle which should be positioned inside the filtration membrane folding according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

                              (e)

                              The sample diluent is added into the 15 ml conical tube by pipette and the filtration membrane is homogenised with the pestle by doing successive low amplitude back and forth movements, avoiding abrupt movements to limit liquid splashes according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

                              (f)

                              Each sample, the negative control, and the positive control, are dispensed into different fields of the agglutination card by pipettes, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

                              (g)

                              The latex beads are added into each field of the agglutination card by a pipette, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, without making them come into contact with the sample/s and controls. In each field, the latex beads are then gently mixed with a disposable stick until the homogeneous liquid covers the entire field.

                              (h)

                              The agglutination card is put on the 3D rocker and is rocked according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

                              (i)

                              After the time established by the manufacturer’s instructions, the rocking is stopped and the agglutination card is put on a plane surface and the reaction results are read. In the case of a positive sample, the beads aggregates must appear. In the case of a negative sample, the suspension remains homogeneous without beads aggregates.

                              (j)

                              All equipment in contact with meat must be carefully decontaminated between runs by soaking for a few seconds in warm water (60-90 °C). Surfaces upon which meat residues or inactivated larva/e remain may be cleaned with a clean sponge and tap water. Once the procedure is finalised, a few drops of detergent may be added to degrease the equipment. Then each piece must be thoroughly rinsed several times in order to remove all traces of detergent.

                              (k)

                              The pestle must be carefully decontaminated between runs by soaking for a few seconds in at least 250 ml of warm water (60-90 °C). Meat residues or inactivated larvae that could remain on its surface must be eliminated with a clean sponge and tap water. Once the procedure is finalised, a few drops of detergent may be added to degrease the pestle. Then the pestle must be thoroughly rinsed several times in order to remove all traces of detergent.

                        II.   Pools of less than 100 g as stipulated in Chapter I(3)(II)
                  For pools of less than 100 g, the procedure set out in Chapter I(3)(II) must be followed.
                  III.   Positive or doubtful results
                  Where examination of a collective sample produces a positive or uncertain latex agglutination result, a further 20 g sample is taken from each swine in accordance with Chapter I(2)(a). The 20 g samples from five swine are pooled and examined using the method described in point I. In this way samples from 20 groups of five swine must be examined.
                  When a positive latex agglutination is obtained from a group of five swine, further 20 g samples are collected from the individuals in the group and each is examined separately using one of the methods described in Chapter I.
                  Parasite samples must be kept in 90 % ethyl alcohol for conservation and identification at species level at the EU or national reference laboratory.
                  After parasite collection, positive fluids must be decontaminated by heating to at least 60 °C.’.

                     (1)

   of 14 October 2011
   amending for the 159th time Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with the Al-Qaida network
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 of 27 May 2002 imposing certain specific restrictive measures directed against certain persons and entities associated with the Al-Qaida network, (1) and in particular Article 7(1)(a) and 7a(1) thereof,

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1186/2013
   of 21 November 2013
   entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Orkney Scottish Island Cheddar (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)

               Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (2).

               (2)

               Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the United Kingdom’s application to register the name ‘Orkney Scottish Island Cheddar’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (3).

               (3)

               Dairy Australia, the Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand and the Consortium for Common Food Names lodged statements of objection to that registration pursuant to Article 7(3)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. Those statements of objection were deemed admissible under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.

               (4)

               The abovementioned statements of objection stressed, in particular, that registering the name in question would jeopardise the existence of names, trade marks or products which had been marketed legally for at least five years before the publication date provided for in Article 6(2), and that the name proposed for registration was generic.

               (5)

               By letter of 20 March 2013 the Commission asked the interested parties to hold appropriate consultations.

               (6)

               Agreement was reached between the United Kingdom and the objecting parties within the stipulated three-month period and notified to the Commission on 8 July 2013.

               (7)

               It emerges from the abovementioned consultations that the objecting parties’ main concern is the status of the one word ‘Cheddar’ in the composite name ‘Orkney Scottish Island Cheddar’. However, the protection sought by the producer relates only to the said composite name as a whole. Pursuant to the last subparagraph of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the name ‘Cheddar’ may continue to be used within the territory of the Union provided that the principles and rules applicable under the Union’s legal system are complied with.

               (8)

               The name ‘Orkney Scottish Island Cheddar’ should therefore be entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The name contained in the Annex to this Regulation is hereby entered in the register.
   Notwithstanding the first paragraph, the name ‘Cheddar’ may continue to be used within the territory of the Union provided that the principles and rules applicable under the Union’s legal system are complied with.
   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.

   of 11 December 2014
   on the extension of the transitional periods related to own funds requirements for exposures to central counterparties in Regulations (EU) No 575/2013 and (EU) No 648/2012 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 Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (1), and in particular Article 497(3) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to avoid disruption to international financial markets and to prevent penalising institutions by subjecting them to higher own funds requirements during the processes of authorisation and recognition of existing central counterparties (‘CCPs’), Article 497(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 established a transitional period during which all CCPs with which institutions established in the Union clear transactions will be considered QCCPs.

               (2)

               Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 also amended Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) in respect of certain inputs to the calculation of institutions' own funds requirements for exposures to CCPs. Accordingly, Article 89(5a) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 requires certain CCPs to report, for a limited period of time, the total amount of initial margin they have received from their clearing members. That transitional period mirrors the one laid down in Article 497 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

               (3)

               Both the transitional period for own funds requirements set out in Article 497(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and the transitional period for reporting the initial margin set out in the first and second subparagraphs of Article 89(5a) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 were set to expire on 15 June 2014.

               (4)

               Article 497(3) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 empowers the Commission to adopt an implementing act in order to extend the transitional period by six months in exceptional circumstances. That extension should also apply in respect of the time limits laid down in Article 89 (5a) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 591/2014 (3) has already extended those transitional periods by six months, until 15 December 2014.

               (5)

               The authorisation process for existing CCPs established in the Union has been taking place but will not be completed by 15 December 2014. With regard to existing CCPs established in third countries that have already applied for recognition, for the time being no recognition has been granted yet to such CCPs. A further extension of the transitional period will therefore enable institutions established in the Union (or their subsidiaries established outside the Union) to avoid significant increase in the own funds requirements due to the lack of recognised CCPs established in each of those relevant third countries and providing, in a viable and accessible way, the specific type of clearing services that those Union institutions require. While such an increase may only be temporary, it could potentially lead to their withdrawal as direct participants in those CCPs and hence cause disruption in the markets in which those CCPs operate. An additional six-month extension of the transitional periods, i.e. until 15 June 2015, is therefore necessary.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Banking Committee

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The 15-month periods referred to in Article 497(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and in the first and second subparagraph of Article 89(5a) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, respectively, as already extended pursuant to Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 591/2014, are extended by an additional 6 months.
   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.

               L 350/38

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1234/2012
   of 19 December 2012
   amending Regulation (EU) No 468/2010 establishing the EU list of vessels engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 of 29 September 2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, amending Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1936/2001 and (EC) No 601/2004 and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1093/94 and (EC) No 1447/1999 (1), in particular Article 30 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Chapter V of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 lays down procedures for the identification of fishing vessels engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU fishing vessels) as well as procedures for establishing a Union list of such vessels. Article 37 of that Regulation provides for actions to be taken against fishing vessels included in that list.

               (2)

               The first Union list of IUU fishing vessels was established by Commission Regulation (EU) No 468/2010 (2) and subsequently amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 724/2011 (3).

               (3)

               According to Article 30(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008, the Union list should comprise fishing vessels included in the IUU vessel lists adopted by regional fisheries management organisations.

               (4)

               All regional fishery management organisations adopted the principle of publishing an IUU vessel list and update their respective list at their annual meetings (4).

               (5)

               According to Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008, upon the receipt from regional fisheries management organisations of the lists of fishing vessels presumed or confirmed to be involved in the IUU fishing, the Commission shall update the Union list.

               (6)

               The Commission has received the updated lists from the annual meetings of the regional fisheries management organisations.

               (7)

               Considering that the same vessel might be listed under different names and/or flags depending on the time of its inclusion on the regional fisheries management organisations lists, the updated Union list should include the different names and/or flags as established by the respective regional fisheries management organisations.

               (8)

               Regulation (EU) No 468/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (9)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Part B of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 468/2010 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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, 19 December 2012.
