         Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) 2016/44 of 18 January 2016 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Libya and repealing Regulation (EU) No 204/2011 (1), and in particular Article 21(2) thereof,
         Having regard to the proposal of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     On 18 January 2016, the Council adopted Regulation (EU) 2016/44.

                     (2)

                     On 27 March 2020, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy ('High Representative') issued a declaration, on behalf of the Union, on Libya in which all parties were called upon to respect human rights and international law.

                     (3)

                     On 12 May 2020, the High Representative issued a declaration, on behalf of the Union, which stated that the Union remains determined to see the UN arms embargo in Libya fully respected. It was also underlined that all efforts must be made to ensure the full and effective implementation of the relevant UNSC resolutions, also through the land and air borders with Libya.

                     (4)

                     Moreover, the Declaration reminded the parties that they must respect international law, including international humanitarian law, and that those who violate it will be held accountable.

                     (5)

                     The Council remains gravely concerned about the situation in Libya and in particular about acts that threaten the peace, security or stability of Libya, including violations of the UN arms embargo and illicit attempts to smuggle Libyan oil as well as human rights abuses.

                     (6)

                     In this context, and in view of the continued escalation of violence in Libya, two persons responsible for human rights abuses and three entities involved in violating the UN arms embargo, should be added to the list of persons and entities subject to restrictive measures as set out in Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2016/44.

                     (7)

                     Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2016/44 should therefore be amended accordingly,

                                                ammonium nitrate > 99,4

                                                —

                                                (total nitrogen > 34,5)

                                                —

                                                anionic polymer 0,28

                                                —

                                                coating 0,08

                                          The oil absorption of the prills is > 10 % by weight.
                                    The prills have a bulk density of 0,72 g/cm3.

                        3602 00 00

                        Classification is determined by general rule 1 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and the wording of CN code 3602 00 00 .
                        The anionic polymer is added to give the product a lower density and a higher capacity for oil absorption, which are important characteristics to allow the porous prills to be more suitable as a base material for the manufacture of ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil) explosives.
                        The surface treatment of the porous prills by coating is done to stabilise the ammonium nitrate and thereby avoid undesirable water absorption that could undermine/diminish the capacity to absorb fuel oil, which is one of the essential characteristics of an efficient ANFO explosive.
                        Based on its objective characteristics, the product is thus identifiable as a prepared explosive under heading 3602 (see also the Harmonized System classification opinion 3602.00/2).
                        Classification under heading 3102 is excluded because the product has been specifically prepared and formulated to be used as a base material for explosives. Neither the anionic polymer nor the coating are technically relevant for use as a fertiliser. The conditions of Note 2 to Chapter 31 are therefore not fulfilled.
                        Consequently, the product is to be classified under CN code 3602 00 00  as prepared explosives, other than propellent powders.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/1318
         of 22 September 2020
         amending Implementing Regulations (EU) 2020/21 and (EU) No 2020/194 as regards the dates of application in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Council Regulation (EU) No 904/2010 of 7 October 2010 on administrative cooperation and combating fraud in the field of value added tax (1), and in particular Article 47l, points (a), (b) and (c) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 79/2012 (2) lays down detailed rules for implementing certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 904/2010 concerning administrative cooperation and combating fraud in the field of value added tax. Pursuant to Article 7(2), point (d) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 79/2012, as amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/21 (3), the Commission is to make a web portal available for Member States that choose to publish among others the tax rates applicable for supplies of goods and services referred to in Article 47g, second paragraph of Regulation (EU) No 904/2010 as from 1 January 2021.

                     (2)

                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 815/2012 (4) lays down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 904/2010 as regards special schemes for non-established taxable persons supplying telecommunications, broadcasting or electronic services to non-taxable persons. Implementing Regulation (EU) No 815/2012 is repealed and replaced with effect from 1 January 2021 by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/194 (5) to reflect the extended scope of the special schemes to taxable persons supplying services to non-taxable persons, making distance sales of goods and certain domestic supplies of goods. However, as regards the submission of and corrections to VAT returns in respect of supplies of services covered by the special schemes referred to in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 815/2012 that were carried out before 1 January 2021, that Implementing Regulation shall continue to apply until 10 February 2024. This is to ensure that the current correction mechanism still applies to supplies carried out before 1 January 2021. Corrections to VAT returns can be made within three years of the date on which the initial return was required to be submitted.

                     (3)

                     Those changes were made to reflect the extension of the special schemes laid down in Title XII, Chapter 6 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (6) by Council Directives (EU) 2017/2455 (7) and (EU) 2019/1995 (8) and the corresponding amendments made to Regulation (EU) No 904/2010 by Council Regulation (EU) 2017/2454 (9).

                     (4)

                     The outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis, which deeply affects all Member States and obliges them to take immediate action at national level as a priority by reallocating resources to other issues, causes difficulties for some Member States to finalise the necessary IT systems to implement and apply those changes as from 1 January 2021. Accordingly, the dates of application of the amendments to Title XII, Chapter 6 of Directive 2006/112/EC and to Regulation (EU) No 904/2010 have been postponed by Council Decision (EU) 2020/1109 (10) and Council Regulation (EU) 2020/1108 (11) by six months until 1 July 2021.

                     (5)

                     In order for Implementing Regulations (EU) 2020/21 and (EU) No 2020/194 to apply from the same date as the amended provisions of Title XII, Chapter 6 of Directive 2006/112/EC and of Regulation (EU) No 904/2010, those Implementing Regulations should apply from 1 July 2021.

                     (6)

                     It is also necessary to clarify that the information to be provided by an intermediary upon registration in Annex I, Box 21, Column E of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/194 only refers to possible previous identification numbers allowing that person to act as intermediary.

                     (7)

                     Implementing Regulations (EU) 2020/21 and (EU) No 2020/194 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (8)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Administrative Cooperation,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

         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 Article 52(3)(a) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Pursuant to Article 50(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the application from Italy to register the name ‘Provola dei Nebrodi’ as protected designation of origin (PDO) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2).

                     (2)

                     On 22 October 2019 the Commission received the notice of opposition from Belgium. The Commission forwarded the notice of opposition sent by Belgium to Italy on 31 October 2019. On 19 December 2019, the Commission received the reasoned statement of opposition, within the prescribed deadline.

                     (3)

                     The Commission examined the opposition sent by Belgium and found it admissible.

                     (4)

                     By letter of 19 February 2020 the Commission invited the interested parties to engage in appropriate consultations to seek agreement among themselves in accordance with their internal procedures.

                     (5)

                     Although no agreement was reached between Italy and Belgium, Belgium withdrew its opposition against the registration of the designation ‘Provola dei Nebrodi’ by letter addressed to the Italian authorities of 16 June 2020.

                     (6)

                     Accordingly, the designation of origin ‘Provola dei Nebrodi’ (PDO) should be entered into the register.

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            The name ‘Provola dei Nebrodi’ (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
            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.
