         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 427/2014
   of 25 April 2014
   establishing a procedure for the approval and certification of innovative technologies for reducing CO2 emissions from light commercial vehicles pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 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 510/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2011 setting emissions performance standards for new light commercial vehicles as part of the Union's integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (1), and in particular Article 12(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In order to promote the development and the early uptake of new and advanced CO2 emission-reducing vehicle technologies, Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 provides manufacturers and suppliers with the possibility of applying for the approval of certain innovative technologies contributing to reducing CO2 emissions from new light commercial vehicles. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the criteria for determining which technologies should be eligible as eco-innovations pursuant to that Regulation.

               (2)

               It is appropriate to take into account the experience gained from the introduction of a scheme for innovative technologies for passenger cars pursuant to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011 (2) and apply the same eligibility criteria for light commercial vehicles. A distinction should however be made with regard to light commercial vehicles that are constructed and type-approved in multi-stages. For those vehicles, it is appropriate to limit the certification of the CO2 reductions to eco-innovations fitted to the base vehicle.

               (3)

               According to of Article 12(2)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, technologies that are part of the Union's integrated approach outlined in two Commission Communications of 7 February 2007 (3), and have been regulated in Union law, or other technologies that are mandatory under Union law, are not eligible as eco-innovations under that Regulation. Those technologies include tyre pressure monitoring systems, tyre rolling resistance and gear shift indicators falling within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and, as regards tyre rolling resistance, Regulation (EC) No 1222/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).

               (4)

               A technology that has already for some time been widely available on the market cannot be considered innovative within the meaning of Article 12 of Regulation (EU) No 510/2011 and should therefore not be eligible as an eco-innovation. In order to ensure full parallelism with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011, it is appropriate to provide that only technologies that had been fitted in 3 % or less of all light commercial vehicles registered in 2009 should be eligible as eco-innovations. Those thresholds should be subject to review at the latest in 2016.

               (5)

               In order to promote technologies with the highest potential for reducing CO2 emissions from light commercial vehicles, and in particular the development of innovative propulsion technologies, only those technologies should be eligible that are intrinsic to the transport function of the vehicle and contribute significantly to improving the overall energy consumption of the vehicle. Technologies that are accessory to that purpose or aim at enhancing the comfort of the driver or the passengers should not be eligible.

               (6)

               According to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, applications may be submitted by both manufacturers and suppliers. The application should include the necessary evidence that the eligibility criteria are fully met, including a methodology for measuring the CO2 savings from the innovative technology.

               (7)

               It should be possible to measure the CO2 savings from an eco-innovation with a satisfactory degree of accuracy. That accuracy can only be achieved where the savings are 1 g CO2/km or more.

               (8)

               Where the CO2 savings of a technology depends on the behaviour of the driver or on other factors that are outside the control of the applicant, that technology should in principle not be eligible as an eco-innovation, unless it is possible, on the basis of strong and independent statistical evidence, to make verifiable assumptions about average driver behaviour.

               (9)

               The standard test cycle used for type-approval measurement of the CO2 emissions from a vehicle does not demonstrate all savings that can be attributed to certain technologies. To create the right incentives for innovation, only those savings that are not captured by the standard test cycle should be taken into account for the calculation of the total CO2 savings.

               (10)

               In demonstrating the CO2 savings, a comparison should be made between the same vehicles with and without the eco-innovation. The testing methodology should provide verifiable, repeatable and comparable measurements. In order to ensure a level playing field and, in the absence of an agreed and more realistic driving cycle, the driving patterns in the New European Driving Cycle as referred to in Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 (6) should be used as a common reference. The testing methodology should be based on measurements on a chassis dynamometer or on modelling or simulation where such methodologies would provide better and more accurate results.

               (11)

               Guidelines on the preparation of the application and the testing methodologies should be provided by the Commission and be regularly updated to take into account the experience gained from assessing different applications.

               (12)

               According to Regulation (EU) No 510/2011, the application must be accompanied by a verification report provided by an independent and certified body. That body should be a technical service of category A or B as referred to in Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (7). However, in order to ensure the independence of the body, technical services designated in accordance with Article 41(6) of that Directive should not be considered an independent and certified body within the meaning of this Regulation. The body should, together with the verification report, provide relevant evidence of its independence from the applicant.

               (13)

               In order to ensure efficient registration and monitoring of the specific savings for individual vehicles, savings should be certified as part of the type-approval of a vehicle and the total savings should be entered into the certificate of conformity in accordance with Directive 2007/46/EC.

               (14)

               The Commission should have the possibility to verify on an ad hoc basis the certified total savings for individual vehicles. Where it is evident that the certified savings are inconsistent with the level of savings resulting from the decision to approve a technology as an eco-innovation, the Commission should be able to disregard the certified CO2 savings for the calculation of the average specific CO2 emissions. The manufacturer should, however, be given a limited time period during which it may demonstrate that the certified values are accurate.

               (15)

               In order to ensure a transparent application procedure, summary information should be available to the public on the applications for approval of innovative technologies and the testing methodologies. Once approved, the testing methodologies should be publicly accessible. The exceptions to the right to public access to documents set out in Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8) should apply as appropriate.

               (16)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

   Where the description is based on assumptions, those assumptions shall be verifiable and based on strong and independent statistical evidence supporting them and their applicability across the Union.
   Article 10
   Assessment of an eco-innovation application
   1.   On receipt of an application, the Commission shall make public the summary description of the innovative technology and the testing methodology referred to in Article 4(2)(c).
   2.   The Commission shall assess the application and, within nine months from receipt of a complete application, it shall approve the innovative technology as an eco-innovation together with the testing methodology, unless objections are raised in respect of the eligibility of the technology or the appropriateness of the testing methodology.
   The decision to approve the innovative technology as an eco-innovation shall specify the information required for the certification of the CO2 savings in accordance with Article 11 of this Regulation, subject to the application of the exceptions to the right to public access to documents specified in Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001.
   3.   The Commission may require adjustments to the proposed testing methodology or require the use of another approved testing methodology than the one proposed by the applicant. The applicant shall be consulted on the proposed adjustment or the choice of testing methodology.
   4.   The assessment period may be extended by five months where the Commission finds that, because of the complexity of the innovative technology and the accompanying testing methodology or because of the size and contents of the application, the application cannot be appropriately assessed within the nine month assessment period.
   The Commission shall within 40 days of receipt of the application notify the applicant if the assessment period is to be extended.
   Article 11
   Certification of CO2 savings from eco-innovations
   1.   A manufacturer wishing to benefit from a reduction of its average specific CO2 emissions for the purpose of meeting its specific emissions target by means of the CO2 savings from an eco-innovation shall apply to an approval authority within the meaning of Directive 2007/46/EC for an EC type-approval certificate of the complete or incomplete vehicle fitted with the eco-innovation. The application for a certificate shall, in addition to the documents providing the necessary information specified in Article 6 of Directive 2007/46/EC, refer to the decision by the Commission to approve an eco-innovation in accordance with Article 10(2) of this Regulation.
   2.   The certified CO2 savings of the eco-innovation demonstrated in accordance with Article 8 of this Regulation shall be specified separately in both the type-approval documentation and the certificate of conformity in accordance with Directive 2007/46/EC, on the basis of tests carried out by technical services in accordance with Article 11 of that Directive, using the approved testing methodology.
   Where the CO2 savings of an eco-innovation for a specific type, variant or version are below the threshold specified in Article 9(1), the savings shall not be certified.
   3.   Where the vehicle is fitted with more than one eco-innovation, the CO2 savings shall be demonstrated separately for each eco-innovation in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 8(1). The sum of the resulting savings determined in accordance with Article 8(2) for each eco-innovation shall provide the total CO2 savings for the purposes of the certification of that vehicle.
   4.   Where interaction between several eco-innovations fitted to one vehicle cannot be ruled out because they are clearly of a different nature, the manufacturer shall indicate this in the application to the approval authority and shall provide a report from the independent and certified body on the impact of the interaction on the savings of the eco-innovations in the vehicle as referred to in Article 7(3).
   Where, due to that interaction, the total savings are less than 1 g CO2/km times the number of eco-innovations, only those eco-innovation savings that meet the threshold set out in Article 9(1) shall be taken into account for calculating the total savings in accordance with paragraph 3 of this Article.
   Article 12
   Review of certifications
   1.   The Commission shall ensure that the certifications and the CO2 savings attributed to individual vehicles are verified on an ad hoc basis.
   Where it finds that there is a difference between the certified CO2 savings and the savings it has verified using the relevant testing methodology or methodologies, the Commission shall notify the manufacturer of its findings.
   The manufacturer may within 60 days of receipt of the notification provide the Commission with evidence demonstrating the accuracy of the certified CO2 savings. At the request of the Commission the report on the interaction of different eco-innovations referred to in Article 7(3) shall be provided.
   2.   Where the evidence referred to in paragraph 1 is not provided within the indicated time period, or it finds that the evidence provided is not satisfactory, the Commission may decide not to take the certified CO2 savings into account for the calculation of the average specific emissions of that manufacturer for the following calendar year.
   3.   A manufacturer for which the certified CO2 savings are no longer taken into account may apply for a new certification of the vehicles concerned in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 11.
   Article 13
   Disclosure of information
   An applicant requesting that information submitted under this Regulation be treated as confidential shall justify why any of the exceptions referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 apply.
   Article 14
   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.

   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

   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 the second subparagraph of Article 53(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission has examined Greece’s application for the approval of an amendment to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Κονσερβολιά Στυλίδας (Konservolia Stylidas)’, registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1263/96 (2).

               (2)

               The application concerns the amendment to the specification under the headings Description and Method of Production, and specifically to add an additional commercial type, the pitted olive.

               (3)

               The Commission has examined the amendment in question and decided that it is justified. Since in accordance with Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 this concerns a minor amendment, the Commission may adopt it without using the procedure set out in Articles 50 to 52 of that Regulation,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   The specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Κονσερβολιά Στυλίδας (Konservolia Stylidas)’ is hereby amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.
   Article 2
   The consolidated single document setting out the main points of the specification is set out in Annex II to 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, 6 November 2013.

            For the Commission, On behalf of the President,
         Dacian CIOLOȘ

            Member of the Commission

      (2)  OJ L 163, 2.7.1996, p. 19.

      ANNEX I
      The following amendment to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Κονσερβολιά Στυλίδας’ (Konservolia Stylidas) have been approved:

                  (1)

                  Description of product:
                  The description has been amended to include whole pitted olives in the ‘Konservolia Stylidas’ product range. Market requirements and changing consumer habits have led to the need to diversify the commercial types available on the market.
                  The characteristics of the pitted olives (taste, colour, smell) do not differ in any way from those of ‘Konservolia Stylidas’ whole olives, as the pitting takes place once the olive has acquired its final organoleptic characteristics, and therefore the link with the product’s geographical area does not change. Furthermore, the composition of the brine, which can generally change a product’s taste, is also exactly the same for the whole olives and the pitted ones.

                  (2)

                  Method of Production:
                  This section has been amended to include the pitting of the olives. The whole pitted olives are ‘Konservolia Stylidas’ olives, mainly green, that have been fermented, so that the product already has its final physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics. The pit is removed using special pitting machines, always through the major axis of the fruit (it is not possible to remove an olive pit through the short axis). The olives are then placed in a 7-9 % brine solution, exactly like ‘Konservolia Stylidas’ whole olives. This procedure does not alter the physical, chemical or organoleptic characteristics of ‘Konservolia Stylidas’.

      5.   Link with the geographical area

      5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

      The climate in Fthiotida Prefecture is mild Mediterranean. The meteorological data for the last five years are as follows:

                  Average temperature: 16,5 °C

                  Relative humidity: 65-70 %

                  Rainfall: 589 millimetres/year

                  Sunshine: 210 hours/month

            The soil is predominantly sandy clay, in flat or sloping areas.
      5.2.   Specificity of the product

      The product has a fruity taste and firm flesh that is easily removed from the pit and keeps well. The black olives are black to inky in colour, whilst the green olives are green to straw yellow. Their excellent physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics have made Stylida table olives well-known on the Greek and international market. They have won a number of awards at Greek and international fairs.
      5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)

      The variety of olive produced in this geographical area is the ‘Konservolia’, which has traditionally been grown in the area since ancient times, and yields the distinctive table olives known for their excellent physical, chemical and organoleptic qualities. ‘Konservolia Stylidas’ olives are grown in areas of the Fthiotida Prefecture which have mild winters and cool summers. This specific variety of olive has adjusted perfectly to the soil and climate which, in combination with the traditional growing, harvesting and processing methods used, shapes the distinctive characteristics of the final product.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 863/2013
   of 5 September 2013
   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 which has been issued by the customs authorities of Member States in respect of the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature but which is not in accordance with this Regulation can, for a period of three months, continue to be invoked by the holder, under Article 12(6) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (2).

               (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 issued by the customs authorities of Member States, which is not in accordance with this Regulation, can continue to be invoked for a period of three months under Article 12(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92.
   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.

      ANNEX

                  Description of the goods

                  Classification
                  (CN-code)

                  Reasons

                  (1)

                  (2)

                  (3)

                  A product (so-called “Real Time Clock Module”) consisting of a monolithic integrated circuit and a quartz crystal assembled together on a metal frame and embedded in a plastic housing with dimensions of approximately 10 × 7 × 3 mm.
                  The product operates with an oscillating frequency of 32,768 kHz and a supply voltage of between 2,7 and 3,6 V. It has a digital output signal.
                  The product is used in various apparatus as the source of a clock signal for determining intervals of time.

                      (1) See image.

                  9114 90 00

                  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 1(n) to Section XVI and by the wording of CN codes 9114 and 9114 90 00.
                  As the product contains both a monolithic integrated circuit and a quartz crystal, it does not fulfil the conditions laid down in Note 8(b) to Chapter 85. Consequently, classification under heading 8542 is excluded.
                  The product provides a clock signal for determining intervals of time, which is a function of Chapter 91.
                  Classification under heading 9110 is also excluded as the product does not have all the necessary components to be considered an incomplete clock movement and is not mounted (see also the Harmonised System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 9110, third paragraph).
                  The product is therefore to be classified under CN code 9114 90 00 as other watch or clock parts (see also HSEN to heading 9114, (A), point (8)).

         (1)  The image is purely for information.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/518
   of 26 March 2015
   concerning the authorisation of the preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 as a feed additive for chickens reared for laying, minor poultry species for fattening and minor poultry species reared for laying and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 361/2011 as regards the compatibility with coccidiostats (holder of the authorisation DSM Nutritional Products Ltd represented by DSM Nutritional products Sp. z o.o)
   (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 Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 and for an amendment of the terms of the current authorisation for chickens for fattening granted by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 361/2011 (2). 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 that amendment request.

               (3)

               The application concerns the authorisation of a new use of the preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 as a feed additive for chickens reared for laying, minor poultry species for fattening and minor poultry species reared for laying, to be classified in the additive category ‘zootechnical additives’ and the modification of the terms of the current authorisation for chickens for fattening to allow simultaneous use with the additional coccidiostats lasalocid A sodium, maduramycin ammonium, narasin, narasin/nicarbazin and salinomycin sodium.

               (4)

               The use of that preparation was authorised for 10 years for chickens for fattening by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 361/2011 and for calves, kids, cats and dogs by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1061/2013 (3).

               (5)

               The preparation was also authorised without time limit in accordance with Council Directive 70/524/EEC (4) for sows by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1200/2005 (5), for piglets by Commission Regulation (EC) No 252/2006 (6), for pigs for fattening by Commission Regulation (EC) No 943/2005 (7).

               (6)

               The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) concluded in its opinion of 30 October 2014 (8) that, under the proposed conditions of use, the preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health and the environment. Since the potential of the additive to be efficacious has been demonstrated in chickens for fattening, this conclusion is extended to chickens reared for laying. This conclusion can be extrapolated to minor poultry species for fattening and for laying. The Authority also concluded that the additive is compatible with lasalocid A sodium, maduramycin ammonium, narasin, narasin/nicarbazin and salinomycin sodium. 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.

               (7)

               The assessment of the preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 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.

               (8)

               In order to allow for the use of coccidiostats compatible with the preparation of Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 also for chickens for fattening it is appropriate to amend Implementing Regulation (EU) No 361/2011.

               (9)

               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
   In the ninth column, ‘Other provisions’, of Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 361/2011, point 2 is replaced by the following:

                  ‘2.

                  The use is permitted in feed containing the authorised coccidiostats: decoquinate, monensin sodium, robenidine hydrochloride, diclazuril, semduramycin, lasalocid A sodium, maduramycin ammonium, narasin, narasin/nicarbazin or salinomycin sodium.’

   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.
