   of 18 March 2016
   amending Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 laying down detailed rules for implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 as regards the arrangements for imports of organic products from third countries
   (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 Article 33(2) and (3) and Article 38(d) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Annex III to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 (2) sets out the list of third countries whose systems of production and control measures for organic production of agricultural products are recognised as equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007.

               (2)

               The recognition of Canada pursuant to Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 currently applies to, inter alia, processed agricultural products for use as food and for use as feed with organic ingredients that have been grown in Canada. Canada has submitted a request to the Commission to expand its recognition to processed products for use as food and for use as feed with organic ingredients imported from third countries and certified in accordance with Canada's legislation on organic products. Examination of the information submitted with that request, subsequent clarifications provided by Canada and an on-the-spot examination of the production and control measures applied to processed products with imported ingredients have led to the conclusion that in that country the rules governing production and control of processed products with imported organic ingredients are equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (3). Consequently, the recognition of the equivalence of Canada's systems of production and control measures should also apply to processed products for use as food and for use as feed with imported organic ingredients certified in accordance with Canadian legislation.

               (3)

               Moreover, Canada's existing recognition excludes organic wine. Canada has submitted a request to the Commission to expand its recognition to organic wine certified in accordance with Canada's legislation on organic products. Examination of the information submitted with that request and subsequent clarifications provided by Canada have led to the conclusion that in that country the rules governing production and control of organic wine are equivalent to those laid down in Regulations (EC) No 834/2007 and (EC) No 889/2008. Consequently, the recognition of the equivalence of Canada's systems of production and control measures should also apply to organic wine certified in accordance with Canadian legislation.

               (4)

               Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 contains a list of control authorities and control bodies competent to carry out controls and issue certificates in third countries for the purpose of equivalence. As a consequence of the expansion of Canada's recognition to processed products for use as food and for use as feed with imported organic ingredients and to organic wine certified in accordance with Canadian legislation and the corresponding amendments of Annex III to that Regulation, the relevant control bodies recognised until now for the import of processed products for use as food with imported organic ingredients and of organic wine (product category D) from Canada should be deleted from Annex IV to that Regulation.

               (5)

               Annexes III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               In order to allow the control bodies listed in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 that are recognised for Canada as regards processed products for use as food with imported organic ingredients and organic wine to adapt to the amendments made by this Regulation, the amendment of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 should apply only after a reasonable time period.

               (7)

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

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 is amended as follows:

               (1)

               Annex III is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation;

               (2)

               Annex IV is amended in accordance with Annex II 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.
   Point (2) of Article 1 shall apply from 7 July 2016.

   concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Clostridium butyricum (FERM BP-2789) as a feed additive for turkeys for fattening and turkeys reared for breeding (holder of authorisation Miyarisan Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd represented by Miyarisan Pharmaceutical Europe S.L.U.)
   (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 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.

               (2)

               In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for a new use of a preparation of Clostridium butyricum (FERM BP-2789). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, and by the relevant data to support its requests.

               (3)

               The application concerns the authorisation of the preparation of Clostridium butyricum (FERM BP-2789) as a feed additive for turkeys for fattening and turkeys reared for breeding, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

               (4)

               The use of the preparation of Clostridium butyricum (FERM BP-2789), belonging to the additive category of ‘zootechnical additives’, was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for use on chickens for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 903/2009 (2) and for minor avian species (excluding laying birds) and for weaned piglets and minor porcine species (weaned) by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 373/2011 (3).

               (5)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 4 March 2014 (4) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Clostridium butyricum (FERM BP-2789) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health and the environment. It also concluded that the additive has the potential to improve performance in turkeys for fattening and that this conclusion can be extended to turkeys reared for breeding. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

               (6)

               The assessment of the preparation of Clostridium butyricum (FERM BP-2789) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that preparation should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed.

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The preparation specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and to the functional group ‘gut flora stabilisers’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that 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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1236/2014
         of 18 November 2014
         concerning the authorisation of L-valine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum (DSM 25202) as a feed additive for all animal species
         (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 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation.

                     (2)

                     In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 an application was submitted for the authorisation of L-valine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum (DSM 25202). That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                     (3)

                     The application concerns the authorisation of L-valine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum (DSM 25202) as a feed additive for all animal species, to be classified in the additive category ‘nutritional additives’.

                     (4)

                     The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 2 July 2014 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the L-valine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum (DSM 25202) does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment and that it is considered an efficacious source of the essential amino acid L-valine for animal nutrition. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.

                     (5)

                     The assessment of L-valine produced by Corynebacterium glutamicum (DSM 25202) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that substance should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.

                     (6)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            Authorisation
            The substance specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category ‘nutritional additives’ and to the functional group ‘amino acids, their salts and analogues’, is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.

            Article 2
            Entry into force
            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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1233/2013
   of 29 November 2013
   establishing a derogation from Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 as regards the minimum distance from coast and the minimum sea depth for boat seines fishing for transparent and Ferrer’s gobies (Aphia minuta and Pseudaphia ferreri) and Lowbody picarel (Spicara smaris) in certain territorial waters of Spain (Balearic Islands)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 of 21 December 2006 concerning management measures for the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea (1), and in particular Article 13(5) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 prohibits the use of towed gears within 3 nautical miles of the coast or within the 50 m isobath where that depth is reached at a shorter distance from the coast.

               (2)

               At the request of a Member State, the Commission may allow a derogation from Article 13(1)of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006, provided that a number of conditions set out in Article 13(5) and(9) are fulfilled.

               (3)

               On 8 October 2012 the Commission received a request for derogation from Spain to Article 13(1) of that Regulation, for the use of boat seines fishing for Transparent and Ferrer’s gobies (Aphia minuta and Pseudaphia ferreri) and lowbody picarel (Spicara smaris), within its territorial waters in the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands.

               (4)

               The request covers vessels registered in the maritime census managed by the Directorate-General for Rural and Marine Environment of the Balearic Islands which have a track record in the fishery of more than five years and will operate under a management plan regulating boat seines fishing for transparent and Ferrer’s gobies (Aphia minuta and Pseudaphia ferreri) and lowbody picarel (Spicara smaris).

               (5)

               The management plan guarantees no future increase in the fishing effort, foreseeing that whenever one of the 60 authorised vessels stops the activity only a vessel with an equal or minor capacity in terms of tonnage and power will be able to replace it in the census.

               (6)

               The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) has assessed the derogation requested by Spain and the related draft management plan at its plenary session held from 5 to 9 November 2012.

               (7)

               Spain has adopted the management plan by Decree 44/2013 of 4 October, establishing a multi-island Management Plan for traditional boat seine fisheries in the waters of the Balearic Islands (2) in accordance with Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.

               (8)

               The derogation requested by Spain complies with the conditions set out in Article 13(5) and (9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.

               (9)

               In particular, given both the limited size of the continental shelf and the spatial distribution of the target species, which is exclusively limited to certain zones in the coastal areas at depths of less than 50 meters, the fishing grounds are limited.

               (10)

               Moreover, the fishery cannot be undertaken with other gears, has no significant impact on protected habitats and is very selective, since the seines are hauled in the water column and do not touch the seabed. Indeed collection of material from the seabed would damage the target species and make the selection of the fished species virtually impossible due to their very small size.

               (11)

               The derogation requested by Spain affects a limited number of vessels, since only 60 vessels are involved.

               (12)

               The fishing activities concerned fulfil the requirements of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 concerning protected habitats since the related Spanish management plan explicitly prohibits fishing above those protected habitats.

               (13)

               The requirements of Article 8(1)(h) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 are not applicable since they relate to trawlers.

               (14)

               Since the fishing activities concerned are highly selective, have a negligible effect on the environment and are not affected by provisions in Article 4(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006, they are eligible for the derogation to the minimum mesh size referred to in Article 9(7) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006. Therefore, the minimum mesh size rules set by Article 9(3) do not apply.

               (15)

               The Spanish management plan includes measures for the monitoring of fishing activities, thus fulfilling the conditions set out in the third subparagraph of article 13(9) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 and in Article 14 of the Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 (3).

               (16)

               The fishing activities concerned take place at a very short distance from the coast and therefore do not interfere with the activities of other vessels.

               (17)

               The Spanish management plan ensures that catches of species mentioned in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 are minimal and that the fishing activities do not target cephalopods.

               (18)

               Therefore, the requested derogation should be granted.

               (19)

               Spain should report to the Commission in due time and in accordance with the monitoring plan provided for in the Spanish management plan.

               (20)

               In line with the request by Spain, a limitation in duration of the derogation will allow ensuring prompt corrective management measures in case the report to the Commission will show a poor conservation status of the exploited stock while providing scope to improve the scientific basis for an improved management plan.

               (21)

               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
   Derogation
   Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 shall not apply, in territorial waters of Spain adjacent to the coast of the the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands, to fishing for Transparent and Ferrer’s gobies (Aphia minuta and Pseudaphia ferreri) and lowbody picarel (Spicara smaris) by boat seines which are used by vessels:

               (a)

               registered in the maritime census managed by the Directorate-General for Rural and Marine Environment of the Balearic Islands,

               (b)

               having a track record in the fishery of more than five years and not involving any future increase in fishing effort provided; and

               (c)

               holding a fishing authorization and operating under the management plan adopted by Spain in accordance with Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006.

         This derogation shall apply for a period of three years following the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
   Article 2
   Monitoring plan and report
