         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1315
         of 2 August 2019
         concerning the authorisation of a preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 as a feed additive (in water for drinking) for sows (holder of authorisation Lactosan GmbH & Co)
         (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 a preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 as a feed additive for sows. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of that Regulation.

                     (3)

                     That application concerns the authorisation of a preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 to be used in water for drinking, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’.

                     (4)

                     The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 23 January 2019 (2) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 does not have an adverse effect on animal health or the environment. However, it also concluded that the additive is considered as a skin and respiratory sensitiser. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additive. The Authority also concluded that the additive has a potential to be efficacious to improve zootechnical parameters in water for drinking, for sows. 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 the preparation of Enterococcus faecium DSM 7134 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.

                     (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 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 as set out 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.
            Done at Brussels, 2 August 2019.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1391
         of 6 September 2019
         amending Regulation (EC) No 1218/1999 concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) No 670/2013
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Article 57(4) and Article 58(2) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1218/1999 (2), a garden canopy measuring 3 m × 3 m, consisting of a covering made of thick 100 % cotton woven fabric, presented with metal uprights which make up its framework and tensioning devices by means of which it can be fixed to the ground, was classified under CN code 6306 91 00 as ‘other camping goods’, because it was open on all four sides. The CN code for that category of products changed owing to changes to the codes in the Harmonised System and the Combined Nomenclature, and Regulation (EC) No 1218/1999 was amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 441/2013 (3) to indicate the new CN code 6306 90 00. By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 670/2013 (4), the Commission classified an article which has the essential character of an outdoor canopy but is presented without frame, poles or accessories under CN code 6306 90 00 as ‘other camping goods’, because it has no sides or walls, which permit the formation of an enclosure.

                     (2)

                     During its 62nd session in September 2018, the Harmonized System Committee (HSC) of the World Customs Organisation (WCO) approved classification opinion 6306.22/1 classifying a product called temporary gazebo, measuring approximately 3 m × 3 m × 2,50 m and consisting of a steel tube frame with connecting pieces and plastic feet, and a roof covering with cladding for the four corner posts. The gazebo is open on all four sides and is not anchored firmly to the ground. It was classified in HS subheading 6306 22, which corresponds to CN code 6306 22 00.

                     (3)

                     Given the identical or very similar characteristics of the product with the articles described in Regulation (EC) No 1218/1999 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 670/2013, the tariff classification of the articles as set out in the Annex to those Regulations is not in accordance with WCO HSC classification opinion 6306.22/1.

                     (4)

                     The Union is, by virtue of Council Decision 87/369/EEC (5), a contracting party of the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (known as the ‘Harmonized System’ or ‘HS’), drawn up by the Customs Cooperation Council (known as the WCO). Classification opinions issued by the HSC are in principle guidance instruments for Union tariff measures.

                     (5)

                     With a view to securing uniformity in the interpretation and application of the Harmonized System at international level and considering that the decision of the HSC is in conformity with the wording of HS subheading 6306.22, the Union should apply WCO HSC classification opinion 6306.22/1.

                     (6)

                     The legal basis and the adoption procedure for amending Regulation (EC) No 1218/1999 and for repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) No 670/2013 are the same. Therefore, it is appropriate to adopt a single act for those purposes.

                     (7)

                     Regulation (EC) No 1218/1999 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (8)

                     Implementing Regulation (EU) No 670/2013 should therefore be repealed.

                     (9)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            In the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1218/1999, the row corresponding to point 6 of the table is deleted.

            Article 2
            Implementing Regulation (EU) No 670/2013 is repealed.

            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.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1394
         of 10 September 2019
         amending and correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 as regards certain rules on surveillance for release for free circulation and exit from the customs territory of the Union
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Articles 8, 58, 100, 132, 157, 161, 184, 193, 217, 232, 268 thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Council Regulation (EU) No 904/2010 (2) requires Member States to collect and exchange certain information on importations that are exempt from value added tax (VAT) pursuant to Article 143(1)(ca) (special scheme for distance sales) or Article 143(1)(d) and 143(2) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (3). In addition, pursuant to Article 47(2) of the Code, customs and other competent authorities may, where necessary for the purposes of minimising risk and combating fraud, exchange with each other and with the Commission data received in the context of the entry, exit, transit, movement, storage and end-use of goods.

                     (2)

                     The electronic system that the Commission has put in place to comply with the surveillance obligation in Article 56(5) of the Code, Surveillance, is the most appropriate tool to be used for exchanging that VAT-related information. It is necessary to amend Article 55 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 to clarify who and to what extent may have access to the data stored in the Surveillance system. First, the Commission should be able to disclose the data in Surveillance in an aggregated form. Second, as a general rule, authorised users in the Member States' customs authorities should have access only to the non-aggregated data that that Member State has provided and to data aggregated at Union level. Third, by derogation from the general rule, Article 55 should foresee the possibility that specific Union acts, such as Regulation (EU) No 904/2010, provides that the Commission grants to certain authorities of Member States access to non-aggregated data in a specific manner.

                     (3)

                     In order to be able to collect the information that Regulation (EU) No 904/2010 requires Member States to collect and exchange, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 should also be amended to increase the number of data elements that the electronic system collects. In particular, it is necessary that Annexes 21-01 and 21-02 to that Regulation include the data elements that, in Annex B to that Regulation, have the order number 3/40 and 4/4, which concern the additional fiscal references identification numbers and the tax base respectively.

                     (4)

                     Following the amendment to Article 278 of the Code to prolong the deadline for the transitional use of means other than the electronic data-processing techniques provided for in the Code (4), the provision in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 establishing a transitional list of data for the purpose of surveillance (Annex 21-02) should be amended. The provision should clarify that the transitional list of data can be used for the purposes of surveillance at release for free circulation until the national import systems are operational, that is, pursuant to Article 278(2) of the Code, until end of 2022 at the latest. By contrast, the transitional list can be used for the purposes of surveillance at export until the national export systems are operational, that is, pursuant to Article 278(3) of the Code, until end of 2025 at the latest.

                     (5)

                     Until the upgrade of the Import Control System referred to in the Annex to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/578 (5), the risk analysis of goods for which the obligation to lodge an entry summary declaration is waived must be made at the moment when those goods are presented to customs on the basis of the temporary storage declaration or the customs declaration or, where the customs declaration is made by any other act, the information available at the moment of the presentation. Article 187 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 should be amended so that it applies also to postal consignments and to consignments of an intrinsic value below EUR 22, by including the pertinent references to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 (6).

                     (6)

                     Economic operators should be given flexibility to provide, by forms or documents other than on a printout of a fishing logbook, the certification that sea-fishing products and goods transhipped and transported through a country or territory, which is not part of the customs territory of the Union, have not been manipulated. Nevertheless, in order to enable the allocation of the sea-fishing products and goods to the respective fishing logbook in cases where the certification of non-manipulation is provided by means of a form or document other than the printout of the fishing logbook, economic operators should include in that other form or document a reference to the respective fishing logbook. Article 214 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 should be amended accordingly.

                     (7)

                     In the context of the simplification whereby a customs declaration is lodged in the form of an entry into the declarant's records, the customs authorities may waive the obligation to present the goods. In order to allow for a proper customs control in specific situations, procedural rules should be laid down for cases where, due to a new serious financial risk or other specific situation, the supervising customs office requests that specific goods be presented to customs pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 182(3) of the Code. Article 234 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 should be amended accordingly.

                     (8)

                     Article 302 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 provides for a waiver from sealing of the means of transport or the individual packages containing the goods for goods transported by air or by rail, provided certain conditions are fulfilled. Maritime transport is as secure as transport by air or by rail when it comes to ensuring that goods are delivered to the place of destination. Therefore, that waiver should be extended to goods transported by sea provided that a reference to the accompanying bill of lading is included in the electronic transport document used as customs declaration to place goods under the Union transit procedure.

                     (9)

                     Where the customs authority of a Member State involved in a transit operation obtains evidence that the events giving rise to the customs debt occurred in its territory, that authority should request the Member State of departure to transfer to it the responsibility to start the recovery. The Member State of departure should confirm within a certain period whether it transfers the competency to start the recovery to the requesting customs authority. Article 311 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 should therefore be amended to cover the specific case of a transit operation.

                     (10)

                     Article 324 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447, concerning special cases of discharge of the inward processing procedure, and the corresponding codes in Annexes A and B should be amended to reflect the entry into force of Council Regulation (EU) 2018/581 (7).

                     (11)

                     When goods are taken out of the customs territory of the Union, the determination of the customs office of exit for goods loaded onto a vessel or onto an aircraft should be clarified. In addition, certain simplified arrangements for the determination of the customs office of exit should not apply to excise goods and non-Union goods. Article 329 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 should be amended accordingly.

                     (12)

                     Where, after having been released for export, goods are taken over under a single contract for transport of these goods out of the customs territory of the Union, the rules for ensuring customs supervision until the physical exit of these goods should be clarified. Article 332 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 should be amended accordingly.

                     (13)

                     The procedural rules laid down in Article 333 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 regarding the supervision of goods released for exit should be clarified to address situations whereby goods leave the customs territory of the Union in a different manner than initially foreseen, as well as to cover the exchange of information between customs authorities during the period until the deployment of the UCC Automated Export System referred to in the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/578.

                     (14)

                     The procedural rules laid down in Articles 340 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 regarding the exit of goods should be clarified to address situations whereby goods are declared for export but eventually do not leave the customs territory of the Union.

                     (15)

                     Following the notification by North Macedonia to the United Nations and to the European Union of the entry into force of the Prespa Agreement as of 15 February 2019, the country previously denominated as ‘the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia’ has changed its name to ‘the Republic of North Macedonia’. That country should be referred to in the Annexes to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 by that name, or, where appropriate, by the short form, ‘North Macedonia’.

                     (16)

                     In order to facilitate the use of the formats and codes of certain data requirements in the context of declarations and notifications in the various electronic systems, Annex B should be amended.

                     (17)

                     It is necessary to correct an editorial error in Annex 33-07 to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 as regards a reference to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446.

                     (18)

                     Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.

                     (19)

                     The amendments to Annexes 21-01 and 21-02 to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 laid down in this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2020 because that is the date from which Member States are to implement the information-exchange obligations imposed by Regulation (EU) No 904/2010.

                     (20)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1395
         of 10 September 2019
         amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as regards the entries for Bosnia and Herzegovina and Israel and the name of the Republic of North Macedonia in the list of third countries, territories, zones or compartments from which certain poultry commodities may be imported into and transit through the Union and amending the model veterinary certificate for egg products
         (Text with EEA relevance)
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down the animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (1), and in particular the introductory phrase of Article 8, the first subparagraph of point 1 of Article 8, point 4 of Article 8 and Article 9(4) thereof,
         Having regard to Council Directive 2009/158/EC of 30 November 2009 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in, and imports from third countries of, poultry and hatching eggs (2), and in particular Articles 23(1), 24(2), 25(2) and 26(2) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     Commission Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 (3) lays down veterinary certification requirements for imports into and transit, including storage during transit, through the Union of poultry and poultry products (the commodities). It provides that the commodities are only to be imported into and transit through the Union from the third countries, territories, zones or compartments listed in columns 1 and 3 of the table in Part 1 of Annex I thereto.

                     (2)

                     Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 also lays down the conditions for a third country, territory, zone or compartment to be considered as free from highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).

                     (3)

                     Bosnia and Herzegovina is listed in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as a third country from which imports into and transit through the Union of meat of poultry is authorised from the whole of its territory.

                     (4)

                     Bosnia and Herzegovina has requested to be authorised also for imports into and transit through the Union of eggs and egg products. Based on the information gathered during the Commission audit in Bosnia and Herzegovina to evaluate the animal health controls in place for meat of poultry intended for export to the Union and given the favourable outcome of that audit, the Commission has concluded that Bosnia and Herzegovina satisfies the animal health requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 for the import into and transit through the Union of eggs and egg products. It is therefore appropriate to amend the entry for Bosnia and Herzegovina in the table in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 to authorise that third country for imports into and transit through the Union of eggs and egg products.

                     (5)

                     In addition, Bosnia and Herzegovina has submitted to the Commission its national control programme for Salmonella in laying hens of Gallus gallus. However, that programme was not found to provide guarantees equivalent to the guarantees set out in Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and the approval of that programme has not been finalised. Therefore, only imports of the type of eggs of Gallus gallus indicated under ‘S4’ in Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 are permitted from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

                     (6)

                     Israel is listed in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 as a third country from which imports into and transit through the Union of certain poultry commodities are authorised from certain parts of its territory depending on the implementation of the stamping-out policy for Newcastle disease. That regionalisation was set out in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008.

                     (7)

                     On 24 April 2019, Israel confirmed the presence of HPAI of subtype H5N8 in a poultry holding on its territory. Due to that confipormed outbreak of HPAI since April 2019 the territory of Israel can no longer be considered as free from that disease and the veterinary authorities of Israel can therefore no longer certify consignments of meat of poultry for human consumption for import into or transit through the Union.

                     (8)

                     The veterinary authorities of Israel have submitted preliminary information to the Commission on the outbreak of HPAI and have confirmed that since the date of confirmation of the outbreak of HPAI they have suspended issuing veterinary certificates for consignments of meat of poultry intended for import into, or transit through, the Union.

                     (9)

                     Therefore, no consignments of such products originating in Israel have been introduced into the Union since that date. For reasons of clarity and legal certainty, it is appropriate to document this situation and introduce in the table in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 the relevant closing date. This also ensures that, where Israel regains freedom from HPAI and an opening date is established, consignments of such products produced after the closing date and before that opening date will not be eligible for introduction into the Union.

                     (10)

                     The entry for Israel in the table in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008 should therefore be amended to take account of the current epidemiological situation in that third country.

                     (11)

                     Following United nations (UN) facilitation, Athens and Skopje reached a bilateral agreement (‘Prespa agreement’) in June 2018, to change the UN provisional reference for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. This agreement has now been ratified by both countries and the Republic of North Macedonia has formally notified the EU about its entry into force. It is therefore appropriate to amend the name of that third country in the table in Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008.

                     (12)

                     In Part 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 798/2008, a model veterinary certificate is set out for egg products (EP). In that model veterinary certificate, Part I of the Notes refers to the Harmonised System (HS) codes that are to be indicated in Box I.19. of Part I of that certificate.

                     (13)

                     Enzymes deriving from eggs, such as lysozyme, are considered egg products and the relevant HS codes for those enzymes should be added to the HS codes to be indicated in Box I.19. of Part I of the model veterinary certificate for egg products. It is appropriate, therefore, to amend the model veterinary certificate for egg products (EP) accordingly.
