         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/605
   of 19 April 2016
   opening and providing for the administration of a temporary tariff quota for olive oil originating in Tunisia and amending Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006
   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 187(a) to (e) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/580 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) opens, for 2016 and 2017, an annual duty free tariff quota of 35 000 tons for imports into the Union of virgin olive oil originating in Tunisia and falling within CN codes 1509 10 10 and 1509 10 90.

               (2)

               Article 3 of Protocol No 1 to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Tunisia, of the other part (3) as amended by Article 3(1) of the Protocol to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Tunisia, of the other part, to take account of the accession of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic to the European Union (4), approved by Council Decision 2005/720/EC (5), opens a tariff quota of 56 700 tons at a zero rate of duty for imports of olive oil falling within CN codes 1509 10 10 and 1509 10 90, wholly obtained in Tunisia and transported directly from there to the Union. The opening and administration of that tariff quota is provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006 (6).

               (3)

               For reasons of consistency, it is appropriate to administer the temporary tariff quota of 35 000 tons in the same manner as the permanent tariff quota of 56 700 tons.

               (4)

               Commission Regulations (EC) No 1345/2005 (7), (EC) No 1301/2006 (8) and (EC) No 376/2008 (9) should apply without prejudice to the additional conditions and derogations laid down in this Regulation.

               (5)

               Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006 that establishes the notification and issuance requirements, the validity period of import licences and the amount of security, should apply, unless this Regulation provides otherwise.

               (6)

               To give more flexibility to the operators as regards the use of the quotas for imports of virgin olive oil originating in Tunisia, the obligation to break down by CN code the notification should be abolished. Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006 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:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/2073
   of 23 November 2016
   on the reimbursement, in accordance with Article 26(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of the appropriations carried over from financial year 2016
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 352/78, (EC) No 165/94, (EC) No 2799/98, (EC) No 814/2000, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 485/2008 (1), and in particular Article 26(6) thereof,
   After consulting the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with Article 169(3) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) non-committed appropriations relating to the actions financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) as referred to in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 may be carried over to the following financial year. Such carry-over is limited to 2 % of the initial appropriations and to the amount of the adjustment of direct payments as referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) which was applied during the preceding financial year. It may lead to an additional payment to the final recipients who were subject to that adjustment.

               (2)

               In accordance with Article 26(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, by way of derogation from Article 169(3) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012, Member States are to reimburse the carry-over referred to in Article 169(3) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 to the final recipients who are subject to the adjustment rate in the financial year to which the appropriations are carried over. That reimbursement only applies to final beneficiaries in those Member States where financial discipline applied (4) in the preceding financial year.

               (3)

               When setting the amount of the carry-over to be reimbursed, in accordance with Article 26(7) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 the amounts of the reserve for crises in the agricultural sector referred to in Article 25 of that Regulation, not made available for crisis measures by the end of the financial year, are to be taken into account.

               (4)

               In accordance with Article 1(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/1146 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), financial discipline is applied to direct payments in respect of calendar year 2015 to establish the crisis reserve of EUR 441,6 million. The crisis reserve has not been called on in financial year 2016.

               (5)

               On the basis of the Member States' declarations of expenditure for the period from 16 October 2015 to 15 October 2016, the financial discipline reduction actually applied by the Member States in financial year 2016 amounts to EUR 435 million.

               (6)

               Consequently, unused appropriations corresponding to the amount of financial discipline applied in financial year 2016 of EUR 435 million, which remains within the limit of 2 % of the initial appropriations, can be carried over to financial year 2017 following a decision of the Commission in accordance with the fifth subparagraph of Article 169(3) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012.

               (7)

               In order to ensure that the reimbursement of those appropriations to the final recipients remains proportionate to the amount of the financial discipline adjustment, it is appropriate that the Commission determines the amounts available to the Member States for the reimbursement.

               (8)

               To avoid compelling Member States to make an additional payment for that reimbursement, this Regulation needs to apply from 1 December 2016. Consequently, the amounts established by this Regulation are definitive and apply, without prejudice to the application of reductions in accordance with Article 41 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, to any other corrections taken into account in the monthly payment decision concerning the expenditure effected by the paying agencies of the Member States for October 2016, in accordance with Article 18(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 and to any deductions and supplementary payments to be made in accordance with Article 18(4) of that Regulation or to any decisions which will be taken within the framework of the clearance of accounts procedure.

               (9)

               In accordance with Article 169(3) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 the non-committed appropriations may be carried over to the following financial year only. It is therefore appropriate for the Commission to determine eligibility dates for the expenditure of the Member States in relation to the reimbursement in accordance with Article 26(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, taking into account the agricultural financial year as defined in Article 39 of that Regulation.

               (10)

               In order to take into account the short time span between the communication of the execution of 2016 EAGF appropriations under shared management for the period from 16 October 2015 to 15 October 2016 by the Member States and the need to apply this Regulation from 1 December 2016, this Regulation should enter into force on the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The amounts of the appropriations that will be carried over from financial year 2016 in accordance with Article 169(3) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 and that in accordance with Article 26(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 are made available to the Member States for the reimbursement to the final recipients who are subject to the adjustment rate in financial year 2017, are laid down in the Annex to this Regulation.
   The amounts that will be carried over are subject to the carry-over decision of the Commission in accordance with the fifth subparagraph of Article 169(3) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012.
   Article 2
   Member States' expenditure in relation to the reimbursement of the appropriations carried over shall only be eligible for Union financing if the relevant amounts have been paid to the beneficiaries before 16 October 2017.
   Article 3
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 December 2016.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
      Done at Brussels, 23 November 2016.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1759
   of 28 September 2015
   approving glutaraldehyde as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 2, 3, 4, 6, 11 and 12
   (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 Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014 (2) establishes a list of existing active substances to be evaluated for their possible approval for use in biocidal products.

               (2)

               That list includes glutaraldehyde.

               (3)

               Glutaraldehyde has been evaluated in accordance with Article 16(2) of Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) for use in product-type 2, private area and public health area disinfectants and other biocidal products, product-type 3, veterinary hygiene biocidal products, product-type 4, food and feed area disinfectants, product-type 6, in-can preservatives, product-type 11, preservatives for liquid-cooling and processing systems, and product-type 12, slimicides, as defined in Annex V to that Directive, which correspond respectively to product-types 2, 3, 4, 6, 11 and 12 as defined in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

               (4)

               Finland was designated as evaluating competent authority and submitted the assessment reports, together with its recommendations, to the Commission on 30 March 2011 and 31 January 2013 in accordance with paragraphs 4 and 6 of Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1451/2007 (4).

               (5)

               In accordance with Article 7(1)(b) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014, the opinions of the European Chemicals Agency were formulated on 1 October 2014 by the Biocidal Product Committee, having regard to the conclusions of the evaluating competent authority.

               (6)

               According to those opinions, biocidal products used for product-types 2, 3, 4, 6, 11 and 12 and containing glutaraldehyde may be expected to satisfy the requirements of Article 5 of Directive 98/8/EC, provided that certain conditions concerning its use are complied with.

               (7)

               It is therefore appropriate to approve glutaraldehyde for use in biocidal products for product-types 2, 3, 4, 6, 11 and 12 subject to compliance with the specific conditions in the Annex.

               (8)

               The opinions conclude that glutaraldehyde meets the criteria for classification as a respiratory sensitiser as defined in point 3.4.1.1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).

               (9)

               Since, pursuant to Article 90(2) of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, substances for which the Member States' evaluation has been completed by 1 September 2013 should be approved in accordance with Directive 98/8/EC, the period of approval should be 10 years, in accordance with the practice established under that Directive.

               (10)

               For the purposes of Article 23 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 however, glutaraldehyde meets the conditions of Article 10(1)(b) of that Regulation and should therefore be considered a candidate for substitution.

               (11)

               For the use in product-type 4, the evaluation did not address the incorporation of biocidal products containing glutaraldehyde in materials and articles intended to come into contact directly or indirectly with food within the meaning of Article 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). Such materials may require the establishment of specific limits on the migration into food, as referred to in Article 5(1)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. The approval should therefore not cover such use unless the Commission has established such limits or it has been established pursuant to that Regulation that such limits are not necessary.

               (12)

               Since glutaraldehyde meets the criteria for classification as respiratory sensitiser, and as skin sensitiser sub-category 1A as defined in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, treated articles treated with or incorporating glutaraldehyde should be appropriately labelled when placed on the market.

               (13)

               A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before an active substance is approved, in order to permit interested parties to take the preparatory measures necessary to meet the new requirements.

               (14)

               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
   Glutaraldehyde is approved as an active substance for use in biocidal products for product-types 2, 3, 4, 6, 11 and 12, 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.
      Done at Brussels, 28 September 2015.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 647/2014
   of 12 June 2014
   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 issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (2). That period should be set at three months.

               (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 which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   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, 12 June 2014.

            For the Commission,

            On behalf of the President,

            Member of the Commission

      (1)  OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1.

      (2)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1).

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A cylindrical hollow product of aluminium, tapered at one end (nipples) and equipped with a lever lock ring.
                  The product is presented as a coupling for hoses.

                      (1) See image.

                  7609 00 00

                  Classification is determined by general rule 1 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN code 7609 00 00.
                  Heading 7609 covers couplings for connecting the bores of two tubes (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to heading 7609 and heading 7307). As hoses are considered a kind of tube, couplings for hoses also fall under the scope of this heading.
                  As the product is covered by one of the headings of Chapter 76 its classification under heading 7616 as other articles of aluminium is excluded.
                  The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 7609 00 00 as aluminium tube or pipe fittings.

         (1)  The image is purely for information.

   Whereas:

               (1)

However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.

               (2)

               Article 136(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that, in order to calculate the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative cif import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products in question.

               (4)

               Import duties should be fixed for the period from 1 December 2012 and should apply until new import duties are fixed and enter into force.

               (5)

               Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/909
   of 11 May 2017
   approving non-minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Huile d'olive de Corse/Huile d'olive de Corse — Oliu di Corsica (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(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               By virtue of the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission has examined France's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Huile d'olive de Corse’/‘Huile d'olive de Corse — Oliu di Corsica’ registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 148/2007 (2).

               (2)

               By letter of 18 February 2016, the French authorities notified the Commission that a transitional period under Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, ending on 31 December 2025, had been granted to twelve operators that are established on their territory and meet the conditions of that Article in accordance with the Order of 26 January 2016 on the protected designation of origin ‘Huile d'olive de Corse’/‘Huile d'olive de Corse — Oliu di Corsica’ published on 5 February 2016 in the Official Journal of the French Republic. During the national objection procedure, these operators, who legally marketed ‘Huile d'olive de Corse’/‘Huile d'olive de Corse — Oliu di Corsica’ continuously for at least the 5 years prior to the lodging of the application, lodged an objection relating to the removal of the conversion timetable for olive varieties, indicating that a period of time was needed to change the composition of their groves. The operators in question are: EARL de Marquiliani, 20270 Aghione; Arthur Antolini, 11, lotissement Orabona, 20220 Monticello; Dominique Arrighi, 20290 Lucciana; Dominique Bichon, Le Regino, 20226 Speloncato; EARL Casa Rossa, Pianiccia, 20270 Tallone; William Delamare, Domaine de Valle, 20213 Querciolo; Roselyne Hubert, Pietra Macchja, 20279 Ville di Paraso; EARL Domaine de Torraccia, 20137 Lecci; Josette Lucciardi, Domaine de Pianiccione, 20270 Antisanti; Alfred Matt, plaine de Vallecalle, 20217 Saint-Florent; Jean-Luc Mozziconacci, Albaretto, 20240 Ghisonaccia and Jean-Louis Tommasini, 20225 Avapessa.

               (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 (3).

               (4)

               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,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The amendments to the specification published in the Official Journal of the European Union regarding the name ‘Huile d'olive de Corse’/‘Huile d'olive de Corse — Oliu di Corsica’ (PDO) are hereby approved.
   Article 2
   The protection provided under Article 1 is subject to the transitional period granted by France pursuant to Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 to operators who fulfil the conditions of that Article.
   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, 11 May 2017.
