         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 688/2012
   of 26 July 2012
   on the issue of licences for importing rice under the tariff quotas opened for the July 2012 subperiod by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
   Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 of 7 December 2011 opening and providing for the administration of certain tariff quotas for imports of rice and broken rice (3), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 5 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 opened and provided for the administration of certain import tariff quotas for rice and broken rice, broken down by country of origin and split into several subperiods in accordance with Annex I to that Implementing Regulation.

               (2)

               July is the third subperiod for the quota provided for under Article 1(1)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 and the second subperiod for the quotas provided for under Article 1(1)(b), (c) and (d) of that Implementing Regulation.

               (3)

               The notifications sent in accordance with point (a) of Article 8 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 show that, for the quotas with order number 09.4154 — 09.4166, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of July 2012 under Article 4(1) of that Implementing Regulation cover a quantity greater than that available. The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined by fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantity requested under the quotas concerned.

               (4)

               Those notifications also show that, for the quotas with order number 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4129 — 09.4148 — 09.4149 — 09.4150 — 09.4152 — 09.4153, the applications lodged in the first 10 working days of July 2012 under Article 4(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011 cover a quantity less than that available.

               (5)

               The total quantity available for the following subperiod should also be fixed for the quotas with order number 09.4127 — 09.4128 — 09.4129 — 09.4130 — 09.4148 — 09.4112 — 09.4116 — 09.4117 — 09.4118 — 09.4119 — 09.4166, in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 5 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1273/2011.

               (6)

               In order to ensure sound management of the procedure of issuing import licences, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

      COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 199/2014
   of 28 February 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, 28 February 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 product in the form of a stylised giraffe (approximately 36 cm high and weighing approximately 820 g), consisting of a soft, textile exterior filled with various materials. The head is filled with a soft textile material while the body and limbs contain a loose millet and lavender filling (which cannot be taken out for use as a separate cushion).
                  The product can be heated in either a microwave or a traditional oven and also cooled in either a fridge or a freezer in order to be used as a heating or cooling cushion.

                      (1) See image.

                  9503 00 41

                  Classification is determined by the general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 9503 00 and 9503 00 41.
                  Given its design and presentation, the product is basically intended for entertaining children and adults (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to Chapter 95, General, and to heading 9503, letter (D)). Any other use based on its warming or cooling capacity is considered subsidiary to its entertainment value. The product is therefore considered to be a toy of heading 9503. Classification on the basis of one of its constituent materials (for example, as millet under heading 1008 or as other made-up textile article under heading 6307) is therefore excluded.
                  The product is therefore to be classified as a stuffed toy representing an animal under CN code 9503 00 41.

         (1)  The image is for information purposes only.

   Whereas:

               (1)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 lays down, pursuant to the outcome of the Uruguay Round multilateral trade negotiations, the criteria whereby the Commission fixes the standard values for imports from third countries, in respect of the products and periods stipulated in Annex XVI, Part A thereto.

               (2)

               The standard import value is calculated each working day, in accordance with Article 136(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, taking into account variable daily data. Therefore this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,

   Article 1
   The standard import values referred to in Article 136 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 are fixed in the Annex to this Regulation.

      (2)  Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2568/91 of 11 July 1991 on the characteristics of olive oil and olive-residue oil and on the relevant methods of analysis (OJ L 248, 5.9.1991, p. 1).

      ANNEX

            ‘ANNEX III

               DETERMINATION OF PEROXIDE VALUE

            1.   Scope

            This Annex describes a method for the determination of the peroxide value of animal and vegetable oils and fats.
            2.   Definition

            The peroxide value is the quantity of those substances in the sample, expressed in terms of milliequivalents of active oxygen per kilogram, which oxidise potassium iodide under the operating conditions described.
            3.   Principle

            Treatment of the test portion, in solution in acetic acid and chloroform, by a solution of potassium iodide. Titration of the liberated iodine with standardised sodium thiosulphate solution.
            4.   Apparatus

            All the equipment used must be free from reducing or oxidising substances.

                  Note 1:

               Do not grease ground surfaces.

                        4.1.

                        3 ml glass scoop.

                        4.2.

                        Flasks, with ground necks and stoppers, of about 250 ml capacity, dried beforehand and filled with a pure, dry inert gas (nitrogen or, preferably, carbon dioxide).

                        4.3.

                        Burette of 5-ml, 10-ml or 25-ml capacity, graduated in at least 0,05 ml, preferably with automatic zero adjustment, or equivalent automatic burette.

                        4.4.

                        Analytical balance.

                  5.   Reagents

                        5.1.

                        Chloroform, analytical reagent quality, freed from oxygen by bubbling a current of pure, dry inert gas through it.

                        5.2.

                        Glacial acetic acid, analytical reagent quality, freed from oxygen by bubbling a current of pure, dry inert gas through it.

                        5.3.

                        Potassium iodide, saturated aqueous solution, recently prepared, free from iodine and iodates. Dissolve approximately 14 g of potassium iodide in approximately 10 ml of water at room temperature.

                        5.4.

                        Sodium thiosulphate, 0,01 mol/l (equivalent to 0,01 N) accurately standardised aqueous solution, standardised just before use.
                        Prepare daily the 0,01 mol/l sodium thiosulfate solution freshly from a 0,1 mol/l sodium thiosulfate standard solution before use, or determine the exact molarity. As experience shows, the stability is limited and depends upon the pH value and the content of free carbon dioxide. Use only freshly boiled water for the dilution, possibly purged with nitrogen.
                        The following procedure is recommended to determine the exact molarity of the sodium thiosulfate solution:
                        Weigh, to the nearest 0,001 g, 0,27 g to 0,33 g of potassium iodate (mKIO3) into a volumetric flask (250 ml or 500 ml) and dilute to the mark with freshly boiled water (V2), cooled down to room temperature. By means of a pipette, transfer 5 ml or 10 ml of this potassium iodate solution (V1) into a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask. Add 60 ml of freshly boiled water, 5 ml of 4 mol/l hydrochloric acid, and 25 mg to 50 mg of potassium iodide or 0,5 ml of the saturated potassium iodide solution. Titrate this solution with the sodium thiosulfate solution (V3) to determine the exact molarity of the sodium thiosulfate solution.

                        Where

                                    mKIO3 is the mass of potassium iodate, in grams

                                    V1 is the volume of the potassium iodate solution, in millilitres (5 ml or 10 ml)

                                    V2 is the total volume of potassium iodate solution, in millilitres (250 ml or 500 ml)

                                    V3 is the volume of the sodium thiosulfate solution, in millilitres

                                    wKIO3 is the purity of potassium iodate in g/100 g

                                    MKIO3 is the molecular mass of potassium iodate (214 g/mol)

                                    T is the exact molarity of the sodium thiosulphate solution (mol/l).

                        5.5.

                        Starch solution, 10 g/l aqueous dispersion, recently prepared from natural soluble starch. Equivalent reagents may also be used.

                  6.   Sample

            Take care that the sample is taken and stored away from the light, kept cold and contained in completely filled glass containers, hermetically sealed with ground-glass or cork stoppers.
            7.   Procedure

            The test must be carried out in diffuse daylight or in artificial light. Weigh in a glass scoop (4.1) or, failing this, in a flask (4.2), to the nearest 0,001 g, a mass of the sample in accordance with the following table, according to the expected peroxide value:

                        Expected peroxide value
                        (meq)

                        Weight of test portion
                        (g)

                        0 to 12

                        5,0 to 2,0

                        12 to 20

                        2,0 to 1,2

                        20 to 30

                        1,2 to 0,8

                        30 to 50

                        0,8 to 0,5

                        50 to 90

                        0,5 to 0,3

                  Unstopper a flask (4.2) and introduce the glass scoop containing the test portion. Add 10 ml of chloroform (5.1). Dissolve the test portion rapidly by stirring. Add 15 ml of acetic acid (5.2), then 1 ml of potassium iodide solution (5.3). Insert the stopper quickly, shake for one minute, and leave for exactly five minutes away from the light at a temperature from 15 to 25 °C.
            Add about 75 ml of distilled water. Titrate the liberated iodine with the sodium thiosulphate solution (5.4) shaking vigorously, using starch solution (5.5) as indicator.
            Carry out two determinations on the same test sample.
            Carry out simultaneously a blank test. If the result of the blank exceeds 0,05 ml of the 0,01 N sodium thiosulfate solution (5.4), replace the impure reagents.
            8.   Expression of results

            The peroxide value (PV), expressed in milliequivalents of active oxygen per kilogram, is given by the formula:

            where:

                        V

                        =

                        the number of ml of the standardised sodium thiosulphate solution (5.4) used for the test, corrected to take into account the blank test.

                        T

                        =

                        the exact molarity of the sodium thiosulphate solution (5.4) used, in mol/l.

                        m

                        =

                        the weight in g, of the test portion.

                  Take as the result the arithmetic mean of the two determinations carried out.
            Report the result of the determination to one decimal place.’

            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1375
      of 25 July 2017
      amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 determining the format and means for submitting the report referred to in Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on fluorinated greenhouse gases
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases and repealing Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 (1), and in particular Article 19(7) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 (2) specifies the way information is reported pursuant to Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014, in relation to the use of certain fluorinated greenhouse gases as feedstock or where products or equipment which contain those gases are placed on the market by producers, importers and exporters of those gases and by undertakings that destroy those gases.

                  (2)

                  To enable the effective monitoring of compliance with the reporting obligations in Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014, undertakings should be required, to register their use of the electronic reporting tool referred to in Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 prior to carrying out relevant activities. This would enable Member State competent authorities to verify at the time of import, export or other relevant activity whether an undertaking would be subject to compliance verification based on its report under Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014.

                  (3)

                  The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 should be amended as regards the structure of the information required on certain characteristics of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) in order to align it with the reporting format used by the parties to the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer to the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer (3) (Montreal Protocol). This would enable the Union to comply with its reporting obligations under Montreal Protocol. For the same reason, information on the destination of exports and the origin of imports should be also required to be reported as of 2020, which would provide sufficient time to adapt the electronic reporting tool.

                  (4)

                  Additional differentiations and comments should added in Section 2 to reflect the reporting practice developed during the first two reporting cycles and the description in Section 12 should be clarified to avoid misinterpretations by reporting undertakings that occurred.

                  (5)

                  Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/879 (4) established the electronic registry in relation to quotas for placing hydrofluorocarbons on the market in which all relevant data relating to authorisations referred to in Article 18(2) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 are recorded. The corresponding reporting format set out in Section 13 of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 is therefore obsolete and should be deleted.

                  (6)

                  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 24(1) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014,

            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
      Article 1
      Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 is amended as follows:

                  (1)

                  Article 1 is replaced by the following:
                  ‘Article 1
                  1.   The reports required in accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 shall be submitted electronically using the reporting tool based on the format set out in the Annex to this Regulation which is made available on the website of the Commission for that purpose.
                  2.   Prior to carrying out the activities to be reported under Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014, any undertaking shall register on the website of the Commission for using the electronic reporting tool.’;

                  (2)

                  the Annex is amended in accordance with 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.

   amending Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 as regards the origin of organic aquaculture animals, aquaculture husbandry practices, feed for organic aquaculture animals and products and substances allowed for use in organic aquaculture
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (1) and in particular Articles 13(3), 15(2) and 16(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 establishes basic requirements for the organic production of seaweed and aquaculture animals. Detailed rules for the implementation of those requirements are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (2).

               (2)

               In the period between November 2012 and April 2013, certain Member States requested the revision of rules relating to products, substances, feed sources and techniques authorised to be used in organic aquaculture production. Those requests have been evaluated by the expert group for technical advice on organic production (EGTOP) set up by Commission Decision 2009/427/EC (3). Taking into account the EGTOP's opinion, the Commission has identified a need to update and integrate the existing rules for the implementation of the requirements for the organic production of seaweed and aquaculture animals.

               (3)

               Under Article 15(1)(a)(ii) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, non-organically produced animals may be brought onto a holding under specific conditions, when young stock from organic broodstock or holdings are not available. Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 lays down the specific restrictions as regards wild caught aquaculture animals, including the collection of wild aquaculture juveniles. Some traditional practices of extensive fish farming in wetlands, such as brackish water ponds, tidal areas and costal lagoons, closed by levees and banks, have existed for centuries and are valuable in terms of cultural heritage, biodiversity conservation and economic perspective for the local communities. Under certain conditions, those practices do not affect the stock status of the species concerned.

               Therefore, the collection of wild fry for on-growing purposes in those traditional aquaculture practices is considered to be in line with the objectives, criteria and principles of organic aquaculture production, provided that management measures approved by the relevant authority in charge of the management of the fish stocks in question are in place to ensure the sustainable exploitation of the species concerned, that restocking is in line with those measures, and that the fish are fed exclusively with feed naturally available in the environment.

               (5)

               The EGTOP expressed concern that the sources of feed and additives allowed in organic aquaculture production do not sufficiently meet the dietary requirements of carnivorous fish species. According to Article 15(1)(d)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, animals are to be fed with feed that meets their nutritional requirements at the various stages of their development. Therefore the use of whole fish as a source of feed for carnivorous animals in organic aquaculture should be allowed. However, that should not result in additional pressure on endangered or overfished stocks. For that reason, only fisheries products certified as sustainable by a third party should be used to produce feed for carnivorous animals in organic aquaculture. In that context, the credibility of the sustainability scheme used is important to reassure consumers of the overall sustainability of the organic aquaculture product. Therefore, competent authorities should identify the certification schemes which they consider, in light of the principles of sustainable fisheries laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), adequate to demonstrate the sustainability of fisheries products for use as feed in organic aquaculture. The 2009 FAO's Guidelines for the ecolabelling of fish and fisheries products from marine capture fisheries (5) may be used as a reference when assessing the suitability of certification schemes.

               (6)

               The EGTOP also highlighted the need to provide a sufficient amount of histidine in the diet of salmonid fish, to ensure a high level of animal health and welfare in this species. Taking into account the significant variations in the histidine contents in marine raw materials according to species and season, as well as to the production, processing and storage conditions, the use of histidine produced from fermentation should be allow to ensure that the dietary requirements of salmonid fish are met.

               (7)

               The maximum amount of fishmeal currently allowed in feed for shrimps is not sufficient to meet their dietary needs and should therefore be increased. When needed to meet the quantitative dietary requirements, the supplementation of feed with cholesterol should also be allowed, in line with the recommendations of the EGTOP report. To that aim, organic cholesterol should be used if available. Cholesterol derived from wool, shellfish or other sources may also be used when organic cholesterol is not available.

               (8)

               The exemption provided in paragraph 2 of Article 25k expires on 31 December 2014; that paragraph should therefore be deleted.

               (9)

               In order to ensure compliance with Article 15(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 in relation to the rearing of young stock originating from organic broodstock and organic holdings, it is considered necessary, and in line with the EGTOP report, to introduce specific rules for the use of plankton in the feeding of organic juveniles. Plankton is necessary for the rearing of juveniles and it is not produced under organic rules.

               (10)

               The EGTOP also advised to update the list of substances allowed for cleaning and disinfection in organic aquaculture, in particular in relation to the possibility of using some of the substances already listed also in the presence of animals. Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should be amended accordingly.

               (11)

               The scope of Annex XIIIa to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008, as defined in Article 25f(2), should be more clearly defined, in particular in relation to husbandry practices.

               (12)

               The maximum allowed stocking density for arctic charr should be increased, to better accommodate this species' needs. Maximum stocking densities should also be defined for crayfish. Annex XIIIa to Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should be amended accordingly.

               (13)

               Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (14)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the regulatory Committee on organic production,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

   of 3 May 2013
   fixing the allocation coefficient to be applied to applications for import licences for olive oil lodged from 29 to 30 April 2013 under the Tunisian tariff quota and suspending the issue of import licences for the month of May 2013
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 of 31 August 2006 laying down common rules for the administration of import tariff quotas for agricultural products managed by a system of import licences (2), and in particular Article 7(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 3(1) and (2) of Protocol No 1 (3) 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 (4), opens a tariff quota at a zero rate of duty for imports of untreated olive oil falling within CN codes 1509 10 10 and 1509 10 90, wholly obtained in Tunisia and transported direct from that country to the European Union, up to the limit laid down for each year.

               (2)

               Article 2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006 of 20 December 2006 opening and providing for the administration of tariff quota for olive oil originating in Tunisia (5) lays down monthly quantitative limits for the issue of import licences.

               (3)

               Import licence applications have been submitted to the competent authorities under Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006 in respect of a total quantity exceeding the limit laid down for the month of May in Article 2(2) of that Regulation.

               (4)

               In these circumstances, the Commission must set an allocation coefficient allowing import licences to be issued in proportion to the quantity available.

               (5)

               Since the limit for the month of May has been reached, no more import licences can be issued for that month,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The quantities for which import licence applications were lodged for 29 and 30 April 2013 under Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1918/2006 shall be multiplied by an allocation coefficient of 61,061322 %.
   The issue of import licences in respect of amounts applied for as from 6 May 2013 shall be suspended for May 2013.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on 4 May 2013.

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