         of 18 March 2021
         accepting a request for new exporting producer treatment with regard to the definitive anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People’s Republic of China and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (1) (the ‘basic Regulation’),
         Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198 of 12 July 2019 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People’s Republic of China (2), and, in particular, Article 2 thereof,
         Whereas,
         A.   MEASURES IN FORCE

                     (1)

                     On 13 May 2013, the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware (‘the product concerned’) originating in the People’s Republic of China (the PRC) by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 412/2013 (3) (‘the original Regulation’).

                     (2)

                     On 12 July 2019, following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission extended the measures of the original Regulation for another five years by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198.

                     (3)

                     On 28 November 2019, following an anti-circumvention investigation pursuant to Articles 13(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036, the Commission amended Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198 by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2131 (4).

                     (4)

                     In the original investigation, sampling was applied for investigating the exporting producers in the PRC in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

                     (5)

                     The Commission imposed individual anti-dumping duty rates ranging from 13,1 % to 23,4 % on imports of the product concerned for the sampled exporting producers from PRC. For the cooperating exporting producers that were not included in the sample, a duty rate of 17,9 % was imposed. The cooperating exporting producers not included in the sample are listed in Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198 as replaced by Regulation (EU) 2019/2131. Furthermore, a country-wide duty rate of 36,1 %. was imposed on the product concerned from companies in the PRC which either did not make themselves known or did not cooperate with the investigation.

                     (6)

                     Pursuant to Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198, the Commission may amend Annex I to that Regulation, by granting a new exporting producer the duty rate applicable to the cooperating companies not included in the sample, namely the weighted average duty rate of 17,9 %, where any new exporting producer in the PRC provides sufficient evidence to the Commission that:

                                 (a)

                                 it did not export to the Union the product concerned during the period of investigation on which the measures are based, that is from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011 (‘the original investigation period’);

                                 (b)

                                 it is not related to any of the exporters or producers in the PRC which are subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by the original Regulation; and

                                 (c)

                                 it has actually exported to the Union the product concerned after the end of the original investigation period or has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union.

               B.   REQUEST FOR NEW EXPORTING PRODUCER TREATMENT

                     (7)

                     The company Hunan Legend Porcelain Industry Co., Ltd. (‘Hunan Legend’ or the ‘applicant’) submitted a request to the Commission to be granted new exporting producer treatment (‘NEPT’) and hence be subject to the duty rate applicable to the cooperating companies in the PRC not included in the sample, which is 17,9 %. The applicant claimed that it met all three conditions set out in Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198.

                     (8)

                     In order to determine whether the applicant fulfilled the conditions for being granted NEPT, as set out in Article 2 of the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198 (‘the NEPT conditions’), the Commission first sent a questionnaire to the applicant requesting evidence showing that it met the NEPT conditions.

                     (9)

                     Following the analysis of the questionnaire reply, the Commission requested further information and supporting evidence, which was submitted by the applicant.

                     (10)

                     The Commission sought to verify all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of determining whether the applicant met the NEPT conditions. To this end, the Commission analysed the evidence submitted by the applicant in its questionnaire reply, consulting various online databases including Orbis (5) and Qichacha (6) and cross-checking company information with information submitted in previous cases and publicly available information on the internet. In parallel, the Commission also informed the Union industry about the applicant’s request and invited it to provide any comments if needed. No comments from Union industry were received.

               C.   ANALYSIS OF THE REQUEST

                     (11)

                     With regard to the condition set out in Article 2(a) of the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198 that the applicant did not export the product concerned to the Union during the period of investigation on which the measures are based, that is from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011 (‘the original investigation period’), the Commission established that the applicant did not exist as a company at the time. The Articles of Association of Hunan Legend and its business license date from May 2014. Therefore, the applicant could not have exported the product concerned to the Union during the period of investigation and thus fulfils this condition.

                     (12)

                     With regard to the condition set out in Article 2(b) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198 that the applicant is not related to any exporters or producers which are subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by the original Regulation, the Commission established that Hunan Legend is not related to any of the Chinese exporting producers which are subject to the original anti-dumping measures. According to Qichacha, the sole shareholder of Hunan Legend, Mr Liang Feiqiao, does not own or hold shares in any company dealing with the production, processing, sale or purchase of the product concerned other than Hunan Legend itself. However, when Hunan Legend was established the shareholding was different. Until November 2016 a Chinese exporting producer manufacturing the product concerned and subject to an individual duty of 18,3 %, Hunan Hualian China Industry Co. Ltd. (‘Hunan Hualian’), had 49 % shares of Hunan Legend, while Mr Liang Feiqiao held the remaining 51 % shares. In November 2016, Hunan Hualian transferred all of its shares to Mr Liang Feiqiao by means of a share transfer agreement concluded between the two parties and setting out the terms and conditions upon which the split up took place. After the transfer Mr Liang Feiqiao became the sole shareholder of Hunan Legend, and the applicant and Hunan Hualian terminated their relationship.

                     (13)

                     Hunan Legend started exporting at the end of 2017 and exports to EU since 2019, that is after Hunan Hualian withdrew as the shareholder in 2016. Also, the key company documents setting out Hunan Legend’s structure, its current articles of association and its sales ledger did not point to the applicant having any related companies. In sum, the Commission did not identify any relationship as defined by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (7). Therefore, the applicant fulfils this condition.

                     (14)

                     With regard to the condition set out in Article 2(c) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198, that the applicant has actually exported the product concerned to the Union after the original investigation period or has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union, the Commission established that the applicant exported to the Union in 2019, therefore after the original investigation period. The applicant submitted invoices, a packing list, a bill of lading and a receipt of payment for an order placed in 2019 by a company in Denmark. Therefore, the applicant fulfils this condition.

                     (15)

                     Accordingly, the applicant fulfils all three conditions to be granted NEPT, as set out in Article 2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1198 and the request should therefore be accepted. Consequently, the applicant should be subject to an anti-dumping duty of 17,9 % for cooperating companies not included in the sample of the original investigation.

               D.   DISCLOSURE

                     (16)

                     The applicant and the Union industry were informed of the essential facts and considerations based on which it was considered appropriate to grant the anti-dumping duty rate applicable to the cooperating companies not included in the sample of the original investigation to Hunan Legend Porcelain Industry Co., Ltd. (‘Hunan Legend’).

                     (17)

                     The parties were granted the possibility to submit comments. No comments were received.

                     (18)

                     The Regulation is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/772
         of 10 May 2021
         amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/977 as regards the temporary measures in relation to controls on the production of organic products, in particular the period of application
         (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 28(6), the third subparagraph of Article 30(2) and Article 38(c), (d) and (e) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     The COVID-19 pandemic and the extensive movement restrictions put in place in the Member States and in third countries in the form of national measures constitute an exceptional and unprecedented challenge for Member States and operators in relation to performing controls as specified in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and Commission Regulations (EC) No 889/2008 (2) and (EC) No 1235/2008 (3).

                     (2)

                     In order to address the specific circumstances due to the ongoing crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/977 (4) allows Member States to apply temporary measures that derogate from Regulations (EC) No 889/2008 and (EC) No 1235/2008 in relation to the control system on the production of organic products and certain procedures provided for in the Trade Control and Expert System (TRACES).

                     (3)

                     Member States have informed the Commission that, in view of the crisis linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain serious disruptions in the functioning of their control systems in the organic sector will persist beyond 1 February 2021.

                     (4)

                     In addition, as regards official controls and other official activities within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/466 (6) allows Member States to apply temporary measures to avoid serious health risks for the staff of the competent authorities, in view of the difficulties to perform those controls and activities and to the extent necessary to manage the related serious disruptions of the control systems of the Member States. The period of application of that Regulation has been prolonged until 1 July 2021 by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/83 (7). It is therefore appropriate that the derogations provided for in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/977 continue to apply for the same period as provided for in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/466.

                     (5)

                     Article 1(6) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/977 sets a lower percentage than point (c) of the second subparagraph of Article 92c(2) of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 as regards the inspections and visits in accordance with Article 65(1) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 that are to be carried out unannounced. In order to ensure that those inspections and visits can actually take place and under safe circumstances, it is appropriate to create the possibility to provide for a 24 hours’ notice for those unannounced inspections and visits.

                     (6)

                     Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/977 should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (7)

                     There is a need not to disrupt the application of the provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/977 that is extended by this Regulation. It is therefore appropriate to provide for a retroactive application of this Regulation from 1 February 2021 in that respect.

                     (8)

                     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
            Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/977 is amended as follows:

                                    (b)

                                    in paragraph 7, the date ‘1 February 2021’ is replaced by ‘1 July 2021’.

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

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/936
         of 6 June 2019
         amending Implementing Regulations (EU) No 808/2014, (EU) No 809/2014 and (EU) No 908/2014 as regards financial instruments set up under the programmes for rural development
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 (1), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 352/78, (EC) No 165/94, (EC) No 2799/98, (EC) No 814/2000, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 485/2008 (2), and in particular Articles 36(6) and 62(2)(a) hereof,
         Whereas:

                     The possibility to set-up financial instruments combining European Structural and Investment Funds contributions with European Investment Bank financial products under the European Fund for Strategic Investments was introduced in Article 38(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) by Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4).

                     This new provision applies also to the financial instruments set up under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) programmes. Some implementing rules laid down in Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) No 808/2014 (5), (EU) No 809/2014 (6) and (EU) No 908/2014 (7) contain references to financial instruments as referred to in Article 38(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 before its amendment by Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046. Therefore, a reference to the new point (c) of Article 38(1) should be introduced to the relevant provisions of those acts.

                     (3)

                     Implementing Regulations (EU) No 808/2014, (EU) No 809/2014 and (EU) No 908/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly.

         amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998 laying down detailed measures for the implementation of the common basic standards on aviation security, as regards cybersecurity measures
         (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 300/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation security and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002 (1), and in particular Articles 1 and 4(3) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     One of the main objectives of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 is to provide the basis for a common interpretation of Annex 17 (Security Annex) of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (2) of 7 December 1944, 10th edition, 2017 to which all the EU Member States are signatories.

                     (2)

                     The means of achieving the objectives are (a) the setting of common rules and common basic standards on aviation security and (b) mechanisms for monitoring compliance.

                     (3)

                     The purpose for amending the implementing legislation is to support Member States in ensuring full compliance with the most recent amendment (Amendment 16) to Annex 17 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, which introduced new standards under chapters 3.1.4 related to national organisation and appropriate authority and 4.9.1 related to preventive cybersecurity measures.

                     (4)

                     By transposing these standards into the implementing EU wide aviation security legislation, it will be ensured that appropriate authorities establish and implement procedures to share, as appropriate and in a practical and timely manner, relevant information to assist other national authorities and agencies, airport operators, air carriers and other entities concerned, to conduct effective security risk assessments relating to their operations and in that way support these entities in conducting effective security risk assessments related to, among other areas, cybersecurity and implement measures addressing cyber threats.

                     (5)

                     Directive (EU) 2016/1148 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning measures for a high common level of security of network and information systems across the Union (NIS Directive) lays down measures with a view to achieving a high common level of security of network and information systems within the Union (3) so as to improve the functioning of the internal market. Measures stemming from the NIS Directive and this Regulation should be coordinated at national levels to avoid gaps and duplications of obligations.

                     (6)

                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998 (4) should therefore be amended accordingly.

                     (7)

                     The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Civil Aviation Security set up pursuant to Article 19(1) of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

            Article 2
            This Regulation shall enter into force on 31 December 2020.

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/2091
         of 28 November 2019
         amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197 with regard to closely correlated currencies in accordance with 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 Article 354(3) thereof,
         Whereas:

                     (1)

                     In order to ensure that the currency pairs referred to in the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197 (2) continue to reflect the actual correlation between the relevant currencies, it is necessary to update the list of closely correlated currencies.

                     (2)

                     The list uses 31 March 2018 as the end date for the purpose of computing the three and five year data series required to assess the currency pairs in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

                     (3)

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

                     (4)

                     Given that the necessary amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197 do not involve significant changes in substantive terms, in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), EBA has not conducted an open public consultation, considering that it would be disproportionate in relation to the scope and impact of the draft implementing technical standards concerned.

                     (5)

                     Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197 should therefore be amended accordingly,

               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

            Article 1
            The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2197 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.

            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.
