         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/818
   of 17 May 2016
   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1030/2014 laying down implementing technical standards with regard to the uniform formats and date for the disclosure of the values used to identify global systemically important institutions according to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 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 the third subparagraph of Article 441(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1030/2014 (2) specifies the uniform format for the disclosure of the indicator values used to identify global systemically important institutions (G-SIIs) in accordance with Article 131 of Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

               (2)

               The disclosure templates used by institutions identified as G-SIIs in accordance with Article 131 of Directive 2013/36/EU should take into account international standards, particularly those issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS).

               (3)

               The template in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1030/2014 mirrors the one used by the BCBS for the data collection exercise for 2015.

               (4)

               The BCBS publishes an updated reporting template in January of each year. In order to promote global consistency in disclosure and transparency in the process of identification of G-SIIs, Regulation (EU) No 1030/2014 should be amended.

               (5)

               Given that the data collection for the identification process in 2016 starts in the first quarter of 2016 and institutions need clarity as to which data must be disclosed, this Regulation should enter into force immediately.

               (6)

               This Regulation is based on the draft implementing technical standards submitted by the European Banking Authority (EBA) to the Commission.

               (7)

               The EBA has conducted open public consultations on the draft implementing technical standards on which this Regulation is based, has analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the opinion of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4),

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1030/2014 is amended as follows:

               (1)

               Article 1 is replaced by the following:

By using that template and taking into consideration these specifications and instructions, G-SIIs shall publicly disclose the values of the indicators used for determining the score of the institutions in accordance with the identification methodology set out in Regulation (EU) No 1222/2014.
               G-SIIs shall not be bound to disclose publicly the ancillary data and memorandum items’;

               (2)

               the third subparagraph of Article 3 is replaced by the following:
               ‘Without undue delay, following the disclosure of that information by the G-SIIs, relevant authorities shall send those completed templates, including the ancillary data and the memorandum items, to the EBA. The EBA shall disclose the completed template, excluding the ancillary data and the memorandum items, on its website for centralisation purposes.’;

               (3)

               the Annex is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

         Article 2

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 565/2013
   of 18 June 2013
   amending Regulations (EC) No 1731/2006, (EC) No 273/2008, (EC) No 566/2008, (EC) No 867/2008, (EC) No 606/2009, and Implementing Regulations (EU) No 543/2011 and (EU) No 1333/2011 as regards the notification obligations within the common organisation of agricultural markets and repealing Regulation (EC) No 491/2007
   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), and in particular Article 192(2), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 of 31 August 2009 laying down detailed rules for the Member States’ notification to the Commission of information and documents in implementation of the common organisation of the markets, the direct payments’ regime, the promotion of agricultural products and the regimes applicable to the outermost regions and the smaller Aegean islands (2), establishes common rules for notifying information and documents by Member States to the Commission. Those rules cover in particular the obligation for the Member States to use the information systems made available by the Commission and the validation of the access rights of the authorities or individuals authorised to send notifications. Regulation (EC) No 792/2009 also sets common principles applying to the information systems so that they guarantee the authenticity, integrity and legibility over time of the documents and provides for personal data protection. The obligation to use these information systems has to be provided for in each regulation establishing a specific notification obligation.

               (2)

               The Commission has developed an information system that allows managing documents and procedures electronically in its own internal working procedures and in its relations with the authorities involved in the common agricultural policy.

               (3)

               Several notification obligations can be fulfilled via that system, in particular those provided for in Commission Regulations (EC) No 1731/2006 of 23 November 2006 on special detailed rules for the application of export refunds in the case of certain preserved beef and veal products (3), (EC) No 273/2008 of 5 March 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards methods for the analysis and quality evaluation of milk and milk products (4), (EC) No 566/2008 of 18 June 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards the marketing of the meat of bovine animals aged 12 months or less (5), (EC) No 867/2008 of 3 September 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards operators’ organisations in the olive sector, their work programmes and the financing thereof (6) and (EC) No 606/2009 of 10 July 2009 laying down certain detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 479/2008 as regards the categories of grapevine products, oenological practices and the applicable restrictions (7), and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 of 7 June 2011 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of the fruit and vegetables and processed fruit and vegetables sectors (8).

               (4)

               In the interest of efficient administration and taking account of the experience, some notifications should be simplified, specified or deleted.

               (5)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 491/2007 of 3 May 2007 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1947/2005 as regards the communication of data concerning seeds (9) covers only notifications which are no longer useful due to the end of the specific aid for certain species of seeds.

               (6)

               Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 foresees in its Article 135 a notification of customary market days for the representative markets. Since the electronic notification system allows to notify prices daily, it is no longer necessary to notify customary market days.

               (7)

               Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1333/2011 (10) foresees in its Article 9 an obligation to notify the Commission of the list of traders marketing bananas granted the exemption from checks on conformity with marketing standards. This notification has not proved to be useful for ensuring compliance with those marketing standards in the banana sector. It should therefore be deleted.

               (8)

               Regulations (EC) No 1731/2006, (EC) No 273/2008, (EC) No 566/2008, (EC) No 867/2008 and (EC) No 606/2009, and Implementing Regulations (EU) No 543/2011 and (EU) No 1333/2011, should therefore be amended accordingly. Regulation (EC) No 491/2007 should be repealed.

               (9)

   Whereas:

               (1)

               On 7 July 2016, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (2), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain hot-rolled flat steel products originating in Brazil, Iran, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine following a complaint lodged on 23 May 2016 by EUROFER (‘the complainant’) on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of certain hot-rolled flat steel products of iron, non-alloy or other alloy steel.

         1.   PRODUCT CONCERNED

               (2)

               The product subject to registration (‘the product concerned’) is certain flat-rolled products of iron, non-alloy steel or other alloy steel, whether or not in coils (including ‘cut-to-length’ and ‘narrow strip’ products), not further worked than hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated, originating in Brazil, Iran, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine (‘the countries concerned’).

               (3)

               The product concerned does not include:

                           —

                           products of stainless steel and grain-oriented silicon electrical steel,

                           —

                           products, not in coils, without patterns in relief, of a thickness exceeding 10 mm and of a width of 600 mm or more,

                           —

                           and products, not in coils, without patterns in relief, of a thickness of 4,75 mm or more but not exceeding 10 mm and of a width of 2 050 mm or more.

               (4)

               The product concerned is currently falling within CN codes 7208 10 00, 7208 25 00, 7208 26 00, 7208 27 00, 7208 36 00, 7208 37 00, 7208 38 00, 7208 39 00, 7208 40 00, 7208 52 10, 7208 52 99, 7208 53 10, 7208 53 90, 7208 54 00, 7211 13 00, 7211 14 00, 7211 19 00, ex 7225 19 10, 7225 30 10, 7225 30 30, 7225 30 90, ex 7225 40 12, ex 7225 40 15, ex 7225 40 60, 7225 40 90, ex 7226 19 10, ex 7226 20 00, 7226 91 20, 7226 91 91 and 7226 91 99. These CN codes are given for information only.

         2.   REQUEST

               (5)

               On 11 October 2016, the complainant submitted a request for registration of imports of the product concerned originating in the countries concerned. On 21 November 2016, the complainant updated the request by providing more recent financial data. The complainant requested that imports of the product concerned from the countries concerned are made subject to registration so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports from the date of such registration.

               (6)

               Following this request, four interested parties came forward, alleging that the initial request for registration from the complainant did not contain sufficient evidence to justify the registration of imports of the product concerned from respectively Iran (3), Russia (4), Serbia (5) and Ukraine (6).

         3.   GROUNDS FOR THE REGISTRATION

               (7)

               According to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission may direct the customs authorities to take the appropriate steps to register imports, so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports. Imports may be made subject to registration following a request from the Union industry, which contains sufficient evidence to justify such action.

               (8)

               The complainant claimed that importers were well aware of dumping practices which stretched over an extended period of time and were causing injury to the Union industry. Imports from the countries concerned were causing injury to the Union industry and there was a substantial increase in the level of these imports, even following the investigation period. This would seriously undermine the remedial effect of the anti-dumping duty, if such a duty is to be applied.

               (9)

               The Commission examined the request in the light of Article 10(4) of the basic Regulation. In particular, it verified whether the importers were aware of, or should have been aware of, the dumping as regards the extent of the dumping and the injury alleged or found. It also analysed whether there was a further substantial rise in imports which, in the light of its timing and volume and other circumstances, is likely to seriously undermine the remedial effect of the definitive anti-dumping duty to be applied.

         3.1.   Awareness of the importers of the dumping, the extent thereof and the alleged injury

               (10)

               The EUROFER complaint of 23 May 2016 contained sufficient prima facie evidence on alleged dumping from the five countries concerned. The non-confidential version of the complaint estimated dumping margins to exceed at least 20 % for the five countries concerned. For four (Brazil, Iran, Russia and Ukraine) out of the five countries concerned, the complainant provided in the complaint evidence on the normal value based on the pricing information of either Steel First or other market reports. For the one remaining country concerned (Serbia), the complainant provided evidence on a constructed normal value (estimated manufacturing costs, SG&A and profit). The evidence of dumping is based on a comparison of the normal values thus established with the export price (at ex-works level) of the product concerned when sold for export to the Union. The export prices for the countries concerned were determined on the basis of either information from Steel First or established using Eurostat data. The complaint also provided prima facie evidence of alleged injury.

               (11)

               These points were spelled out in the notice of initiation for this proceeding on 7 July 2016 (7). As this notice is a public document accessible to all importers the Commission considered that the importers were aware, or should have been aware of the alleged dumping practices, the extent thereof and the alleged injury at the latest at that moment. It thus concluded that the first criterion for registration was met.

         3.2.   Further substantial rise in imports

               (12)

               In its updated request for registration, the complainant compared the aggregate average monthly volume of imports of the product concerned from all countries concerned in the period 1 July 2015-30 June 2016 with the period from 1 July 2016-31 October 2016. This comparison showed an increase of 24 % in average monthly import volume from the five countries concerned.

               (13)

               The Commission considered that it was inappropriate to use data from the month of July 2016. As explained in recital 12, the importers should have been aware of alleged dumping and injury only as of 7 July. Taking data prior to that date cannot be conclusive for a registration exercise. Given that import statistics are done on a monthly basis, the Commission thus decided to compare the average volumes of imports from the countries concerned during the period 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016 with the period of 1 August 2016 to 30 November 2016 (i.e. 4 months following the initiation on 7 July 2016).

               (14)

               For that period, the Commission observed a substantial increase of 14 % for the countries concerned when comparing the total average monthly volume of imports. However, at the same time, the Commission noted significant differences between the five country's individual export performances, highlighted in the different submissions referred to in recital 6.

               (15)

               In particular, the increase of 14 % of total monthly average volumes of imports for the five countries concerned for the period as mentioned under recital 13 was the combined effect of a substantial rise in Russian imports (+ 73 %) and in Brazilian imports (+ 26 %), a decrease in imports from two other countries concerned (Ukraine and Iran) and a status quo for Serbia in imports of the product concerned.

               (16)

               Hence, the increase in volume of the dumped imports from the five countries concerned is fully attributable to the substantial increase in volumes of the Russian and Brazilian imports only. Under these exceptional circumstances, the Commission saw no reason to register imports for the other three countries as well. Even if the Commission was to conduct a cumulative assessment of injury from all five countries under Article 3(4) of the basic Regulation in the main investigation, a retroactive imposition of duties for imports from countries where exports have stagnated or even decreased after the initiation of the case would seem to be disproportionate. Hence, the Commission concluded that registration for such imports was not necessary either.

         3.3.   Other circumstances

               (17)

               In its complaint of 23 May 2016, the complainant had included prima facie evidence on the decreasing trend of the import sales prices for the countries concerned. The average sales prices to the Union decreased between 2011 and 2015, undercutting as such the average sales prices of the Union steel producers by 30 % at least. As a whole, and given the extent of the dumping margins alleged in the complaint, the evidence provided sufficient support at this stage that the exporters from the countries concerned practise dumping. However, in its registration request of 11 October 2016, the complainant did not include any updated information on import prices following the initiation of the present investigation.

               (18)

               The Commission considered that the price evolution after the initiation of the case constitutes another relevant circumstance for a registration request. Therefore, it analysed import prices on the basis of figures in Eurostat. It established that the import prices of the countries concerned went up to a certain degree following the initiation of the present investigation.

               (19)

               Assessing this rising trend of import prices from Russia and Brazil, the Commission found that the absolute level of those prices remained still at a critically low level. In particular, it was lower than the costs of production of the Union industry at the end of 2015, as established by the Commission in the parallel HRF case on China (8). Under these circumstances, the Commission concluded that registration of imports from those two countries is warranted.

         3.4.   Conclusion

               (20)

               In conclusion, the increase in volume of the dumped imports from the five countries concerned is fully attributable to the substantial increase in volumes of the Russian and Brazilian imports. In light of the timing, this substantial increase in the level of these Russian and Brazilian imports is likely to seriously undermine the remedial effect of any definitive duties, unless such duties would be applied retroactively.

         4.   PROCEDURE

               (21)

               In view of the above, the Commission concluded that there is sufficient prima facie evidence to justify making Russian and Brazilian imports of the product concerned subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.

               (22)

               All interested parties are invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.

         5.   REGISTRATION

               (23)

               Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation Russian and Brazilian imports of the product concerned should be made subject to registration for the purpose of ensuring that, should the investigation result in findings leading to the imposition of anti-dumping duties, those duties can, if the necessary conditions are fulfilled, be levied retroactively on the registered Russian and Brazilian imports in accordance with Article 10(4) of the basic Regulation.

               (24)

               The complainant estimated in the complaint an average dumping margin of 20-40 % for Russia and an average dumping margin of 40-70 % for Brazil. It also estimated an average underselling margin of 20-50 % for both Russia and Brazil for the product concerned. The estimated amount of possible future liability is set for Russia and Brazil at the level of the average dumping margin estimated on the basis of the complaint, i.e. 20-50 % ad valorem on the CIF import value of the product concerned.

         6.   PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

               (25)

   of 17 November 2015
   establishing, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, the format of labels for products and equipment containing fluorinated greenhouse gases
   (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 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 12(14) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 12 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 included certain labelling requirements for products and equipment that contain, or whose functioning relies upon, fluorinated greenhouse gases laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1494/2007 (2) and added labelling requirements for foams and for fluorinated greenhouse gases placed on the market for specific uses.

               (2)

               For the sake of clarity, it is appropriate to define the exact wording of the information to be indicated on labels referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 and to set out requirements ensuring the visibility and readability of such labels with regard to their layout and placement.

               (3)

               To ensure that a single label is used for products containing fluorinated greenhouse gases which are also subject to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), in particular for the labelling of containers, including cylinders, drums and road and rail tankers, the labelling information laid down in Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 should be indicated in the section for supplemental information on the label.

               (4)

               Regulation (EC) No 1494/2007 should therefore be repealed.

               (5)

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/22
   of 5 January 2015
   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, 5 January 2015.

            For the Commission,

            On behalf of the President,

      (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 used, four-wheel drive compact sport utility motor vehicle (SUV) with a diesel engine of a cylinder capacity of 2 000 cm3, a five-speed manual gearbox and one reverse gear. Its total gross weight is approximately 2 330 kg; its total load capacity is approximately 700 kg.
                  It has a single integrated space for the transport of both persons and goods. The cabin has one row of two seats (including the driver's seat) and five doors with window panels (the back door being of a swing-out type). The floor of the cargo area is equipped with carpeting; the entire interior of the vehicle has side and roof upholstery. It is equipped with a mechanism for raising and lowering both the front and rear side windows.
                  The vehicle is adapted to the transport of goods by having the second row of seats removed, the anchor points for fixing the rear seats and the security belts covered and the cabin separated by a net barrier. The anchor points for fixing the rear seats and the safety belts were not removed or rendered permanently unusable.

                  8703 32 90

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8703, 8703 32 and 8703 32 90.
                  Classification under heading 8704 as vehicles for the transport of goods is excluded, as the objective characteristics and the general appearance of the vehicle are those of a vehicle principally designed for the transport of persons (presence of five windows, side and roof upholstery, carpet) The changes made for the purposes of transporting goods (removing of the rear seats installation of the net barrier) are easily reversible.
                  The vehicle is therefore to be classified under CN code 8703 32 90 as used motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons.

                  ‘T’ shaped article of steel. The external diameter of the shoulders is 23 mm and the largest diameter of the central part of the article is 40 mm. Its lateral endings are bevelled, suitable for butt welding, and its third ending is threaded on the inside.
                  The lateral endings are to be welded in between the panels of the radiator. The third ending is used for installing either a vent valve or a regulating valve, or for connecting the radiator with a pipe that connects it to, for example, a boiler.
                  See the image (1).

                  7307 93 19

                  Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 2(a) to Section XV, and by the wording of CN codes 7307, 7307 93 and 7307 93 19.
                  The article has the objective characteristics of tube and pipe fittings classified under heading 7307. Articles of heading 7307 are, in accordance with note 2(a) to Section XV, parts of general use. As references to parts, inter alia, in Chapter 73 do not include references to parts of general use as defined in that note, classification of the article under heading 7322 as a part of radiators for central heating is excluded (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to heading 7322, point (2)(a)).
                  The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 7307 93 19 as other butt welding tube or pipe fittings of steel with the greatest external diameter not exceeding 609,6 mm.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1115/2012
   of 28 November 2012
   temporarily suspending customs duties on imports of certain cereals for the 2012/13 marketing year
   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), and in particular Article 187 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to promote the supply of cereals on the Community market during the first few months of the 2012/13 marketing year, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 569/2012 (2) suspended until 31 December 2012 customs duties for the import tariff quota for common wheat of low and medium quality opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1067/2008 (3).

               (2)

               The outlook for the cereals market of the European Union for the end of the 2012/13 marketing year would suggest that prices will remain buoyant, given the low stock levels and the Commission’s current estimates regarding the quantities which will actually be available from the 2012 harvest. In order to make it easier to maintain a flow of imports conducive to EU market equilibrium, there is a need to ensure continuity in cereal imports policy by keeping the temporary suspension of customs duties on imports during the 2012/13 marketing year until 30 June 2013 for the import tariff quota to which this measure currently applies. For the same reasons, the measure should be extended to cover the import tariff quota for feed barley opened by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2305/2003 (4).

               (3)

               Moreover, traders should not be penalised in cases where cereals are en route for importation into the Union. Therefore, the time required for transport should be taken into account and traders allowed to release cereals for free circulation under the customs-duty suspension arrangements provided for in this Regulation, for all products whose direct transport to the Union has started at the latest on 30 June 2013. The evidence to be provided showing direct transport to the Union and the date on which the transport commenced should also be established.

               (4)

               In order to ensure sound management of the procedure for issuing import licences as from 1 January 2013, this Regulation should enter into force on the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   The application of customs duties to imports of common wheat falling within CN code 1001 99 00, of a quality other than high quality as defined in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 (5), and of barley falling within CN code 1003 shall be suspended for the 2012/13 marketing year for all imports under the reduced-duty tariff quotas opened by Regulations (EC) No 1067/2008 and (EC) No 2305/2003.
   2.   Where the cereals referred to in paragraph 1 undergo direct transport to the Union and such transport began at the latest on 30 June 2013, the suspension of customs duties under this Regulation shall continue to apply for the purposes of the release into free circulation of the products concerned.
   Proof of direct transport to the Union and of the date on which the transport commenced shall be provided, to the satisfaction of the relevant authorities, by the original transport document.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   It shall apply from 1 January to 30 June 2013.

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